According to the observation of Huo Zhen, the commander of the Yangzhai army, the puppet Yan army has recently increased its troops to Yanwu City in the north by about 3,000 people. Up to now, the puppet Yan garrison in Yanwu City has reached about nine thousand. ”

"The commander of the Heyang army sent Zhang Zhan to report that in recent days, the army of the puppet Yanjiang North Road has been frequently mobilized, but instead of attacking and disturbing our army in the south, he took the initiative to shrink the defense line in the north, and there is a trend of clearing the field on the border."

"Yingze Jundu commanded Huangfu to report that Niu Cunjie, the new general of the puppet Yan Moyang Road, visited Baima County on the border five days ago, and his actions should be to inspect the defense of the southern front."

"The winter clothes of the soldiers of Anping, Guangji and Chengshan have been changed, but there is still a gap of more than 700 sets, and this matter has been transferred to the Governor's Mansion and will be solved by the elder brother himself."

Li Bingxue sat on the edge of the bed, maintaining a calm tone, and summarized the various military intelligence reports that had been backlogged in the Governor's Mansion as concisely as possible during the days when Li Tianrun was sick.

Li Tianrun's eyes were slightly closed, and his mood did not change much, only when Li Bingxue said that there was still a gap in the winter clothes of the soldiers of the Anping Army and other departments, he suddenly opened his eyes, but then Li Bingxue said that the matter had been transferred to Li Liangyu for handling, so he slowly closed his eyes and continued to listen.

Li Bingxue stopped thinking for a while, lest he put too much pressure on his father.

Just read it intermittently like this, until the last one, her eyes condensed slightly when she looked at the file, and then said softly: "A letter from the Governor of Huaizhou, Lu Shen has returned safely from the north, and the battle of the Northern Expedition will be re-planned, and he hopes to get the cooperation of the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion." ”

"Lu Shen, this kid really impresses me."

Li Tianrun smiled slightly, and then said: "Although those green forest heroes of the Seven Star Gang are not good at stubble, he can lead them to defeat more than 20,000 Yan troops in a battle, including even 3,000 Xia Mountain troops of the Jing Dynasty. ”

Li Bingxue took the opportunity to say: "Daddy, the battle of the Northern Expedition is not an overnight achievement, why don't we wait for Huaizhou to make a detailed plan, and then we will cooperate." ”

The implication is naturally that I hope that Li Tianrun will not continue to worry about this matter, so as not to be sad and sad, and now he should take recuperation as the priority.

Li Tianrun turned his head to look at her, and said slowly: "Bing Xue, you haven't seen Lu Shen for nearly a year, right?" ”

Li Bingxue was stunned, and then lowered his head and said, "Why did Daddy suddenly talk about this?" ”

"I heard your brother say that when you were in the capital last year, you and Lu Shen got along very well. After he was attacked, he also lived in our house in the capital for a while. You have a straightforward temperament since you were a child, and you are not good at pretending to others, I didn't expect Lu Shen to be so trusted by you. ”

Li Tianrun's tone was gentle, revealing the warmth and warmth of being a father.

Li Bingxue is so smart, she can naturally hear the deep meaning of her father's words, she raised her head to meet her father's gaze, and said with a smile: "Daddy doesn't have to worry about his daughter's affairs, what you need most now is to have a good life." My daughter knows that you will definitely design the details of the Northern Expedition by yourself, and there is no way to persuade you to change your mind, so I have to ask you to rest during this time. ”

"Well, it's all up to you."

Li Tianrun smiled and did not continue the previous topic.

After coming out of his father's residence, Li Bingxue slowly returned to his small courtyard.

Her expression was slightly tired, and her eyes were full of mixed emotions.

In fact, some things have never been forgotten, but they are forcibly pressed in the bottom of their hearts, and once they encounter a certain opportunity, memories will rush back.

In fact, even if Li Tianrun didn't mention it, she remembered that she had been separated from Lu Shen for nearly a year, because in some unknown times, she had been secretly paying attention to Lu Shen's movements.

She knew that he had formed a battalion of Rui Shi and trained his soldiers day and night, and she also knew that he ventured north to Baotai Mountain, leading thousands of people from the Seven Stars Gang to become famous all over the world.

She also knew that he was doing it for Lin Xi.

"Heh......"

Li Bingxue stood under the plane tree in the courtyard, looking up at Xiao Suo's withered branches.

"Miss."

A timid and gentle voice came from behind him, Li Bingxue turned his head to look, and saw Gu Wan'er, the former Oiran of the capital, standing not far away, combing a simple cloud-brushing sideburns, wearing a plain and quiet feather shirt.

Coming from the capital to Jingzhou, the hustle and bustle of the past is gone, Gu Wan'er is willing to wash the lead by hand, and her life is stable.

Li Bingxue said indifferently: "I have told you many times that you and I can be commensurate with each other." ”

"Yes, my sister wrote it down."

Gu Wan'er smiled, Lianbu moved lightly to the front, and asked cautiously, "Sister Li, has he had any news recently?" ”

"He? Which he? Li Bingxue blinked.

Gu Wan'er lowered her eyes and said, "Sister is making fun of little sister again." ”

Li Bingxue said: "You are bent on remembering him, but that person doesn't know how to write you a letter." You don't have to worry, Lu Shen has returned to Huaizhou from the north, and the road is safe and there is no trouble. ”

Gu Wan'er's heart was relieved, remembering her previous sentence, the courage that came out of nowhere, and said softly: "What Lu Gongzi said very clearly that day, the little sister didn't dare to think about it anymore." It's just Sister Li's side...... Lu Gongzi should write a letter to report his safety. ”

Since she was seven or eight years old, she has been learning to deal with people in the alum building in the capital, and she is very good at observing words and feelings, just from what she saw and heard in the capital, she knew that the excellent and proud female general around her had a certain inseparable relationship with the handsome young captain.

Li Bingxue was not surprised that she could see this, in fact, she did not think about deliberately concealing it, the so-called fairness and integrity are all things that cannot be said to others.

At this moment, seeing Gu Wan'er mustering up the courage to tempt, she smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I am in a similar situation to you, both of them are falling flowers and deliberately flowing ruthlessly, but they are cheaper than Lu Shen's guy." ”

Gu Wan'er's eyes widened in surprise.

Although she has the name of Oiran, she knows her own family affairs, and the so-called Oiran is just the reputation of Li Sanlang's gentlemen, who is nothing more than hoping to use this fame to turn Alum Tower into a cornucopia and attract those rich and noble families in the capital to spend a lot of money in Alum Tower.

In real terms, she can't compare to those middle-aged ladies at all, and her talent is just a fictional story, let alone compared with Li Bingxue, a woman from a prominent family and a woman on the battlefield who has made many achievements.

She knew that her identity was difficult to climb Lu Shen, an upstart in the army with a great future, but she didn't expect Li Bingxue to say this, so she couldn't hide her surprise in her eyes.

Li Bingxue took her to the stone bench next to her and sat down, looked at the plane tree in front of her, and said slowly: "When I was in the capital, one day when I was half drunk and half awake, I told Lu Shen that for some reason his shadow often appeared in my heart. He looked a little embarrassed and avoided answering my questions, so I had to pretend to be drunk. ”

Gu Wan'er bowed slightly, this is indeed the style of the woman next to her.

Li Bingxue continued: "When Baimadu was separated, I told him that I had my own responsibilities, and he also had things to do, and he had to go to the north to find Lin Xi. At that time, it was just ordinary, but later I learned that he really went to the north, was born and died for the Seven Star Gang, and even went to Heluo City to assassinate the pseudo-Yan high-ranking officials, and I felt very awkward. It stands to reason that I shouldn't be such a tangled and contradictory person, I wonder if you can solve my confusion? ”

Gu Wan'er suddenly understood that this Miss Li had a lot of emotions in her heart, so she wanted to find someone to talk to today.

She said: "Sister Li, this is where the word love tortures people." ”

Li Bingxue turned his head to look at the face that was as white as jade with a blow bomb, and asked curiously, "Aren't you a Qingqi person?" Do you also understand the subtlety of the word love? ”

Gu Wan'er's cheeks were slightly red, and she muttered: "Sister Li, don't underestimate people, although the little sister is a Qing Qi person, but after all, she grew up in a place like Alum Tower, and I have not only heard the stories of love and love, but also seen a lot of them with my own eyes." ”

"I see."

Li Bingxue smiled: "Then you can help me analyze what is going on." ”

"It's actually quite easy to say." Gu Wan'er tilted her head slightly, and said seriously: "Sister Li has a free and easy temperament, even if she is interested in Lu Gongzi, she doesn't want to be entangled, so she simply doesn't care about each other after saying it." However, once a person like Sister Li has a favorite object, how can other men get into your eyes? Even if you don't see each other or contact each other, you will always have that person in your heart. If there is no news, when you hear that he sacrificed his life for other women, how can you have no guilt in your heart? ”

Li Bingxue listened carefully, and her heart gradually brightened, and she nodded: "It's indeed as you said." As soon as Baima crosses the parting, I don't want to have anything to do with Lu Shen in private, so as not to fall deeper and deeper and find it difficult to extricate myself. But in the past year, he has not said a word, as if he has long forgotten me, thinking of his senior sister, and I am a little annoyed. ”

Gu Wan'er listened with affection.

She persuaded softly: "In that case, why didn't Sister Li explain it to Lu Gongzi?" You need to know that feelings are not something that can be suppressed by manpower, even if it is just a faint spark, it will become a raging fire if it is suppressed for a long time. ”

Li Bingxue was silent.

She thought of her father who was still worried about the situation on the frontier lying on the hospital bed, her brother who was too busy to take care of her small family, the more than 100,000 soldiers who were waiting for her up and down the Jingzhou army, and the Feiyu Battalion, which had now expanded to 8,000 horsemen, and her eyes couldn't help but be slightly gloomy.

"Do you know where the ancestors of our Li family are buried?"

After a moment of silence, Li Bingxue suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

Gu Wan'er shook her head.

Li Bingxue said slowly: "The northern suburbs of Shou'an City, which is now the territory of Henan Road in Pseudo-Yan. One day, I will take the head of the enemy and go there to pay tribute to the ancestors of the Li family. ”

Gu Wan'er's heart trembled, and she suddenly understood why this heroic woman wanted to say this.

Li Bingxue took a long breath, stretched out his hand to hold a falling yellow leaf, and said softly: "In life, there are things that you can't ask for, and there are helplessness. Just like this fallen leaf has experienced the rotation of the four seasons and seen the world full of flowers, it will eventually fall into mud. For people like me, feelings seem too extravagant after all, and you only need to do one thing well in this life. ”

For some reason, Gu Wan'er suddenly felt a little distressed.

Li Bingxue turned her head to look at her and said slowly: "I told you this today, my heart is a lot more comfortable and transparent, thank you." ”

"Don't dare, if Sister Li is free, she can come back a few more times, and my little sister is willing to talk to you."

Gu Wan'er's tone was gentle and her expression was solemn.

Li Bingxue smiled lightly and stood up, her face was still calm, and her eyes were clear and firm.
