At this time, it has been more than a month since Xiao Yunyan was in Liaozhou, and there was always a safe letter every few days, but there has been no news for more than ten days in the past few days. Helian Yi's mood gradually became restless.

Finally, someone outside the house shouted: "Gongzi He, there is a letter here." ”

When Shen Liuxiang heard it, she thought it was Xiao Yunyan's letter, and she rushed out to take the letter and handed it to Helianyi. Say what? ”

Helian Yi said: "Lu Xiang's, he has already met Emperor Liang, and this matter is very eyebrow-raising. ”

Shen Liuxiang couldn't help but cheer for a while: "Ah, that's great." ”

"What's good, I've been dreaming of bad things in the past few days, if something really happens to King Ji, then won't we be a bamboo basket again?"

Shen Liuxiang suddenly understood: "Yes, Master Xuan asked the princess to do her best to support King Ji, and only in this way can she hope to restore the country." However, she never had a definite explanation, and if she just talked nonsense and dealt with it casually, wouldn't we have worked in vain? ”

Helian Yi took out the piece of silk silk on which Helian Dingguo wrote down blood before his death, stroked it, and said: "My father made such a request before he died, I must believe in Master Xuan."

Shen Liuxiang said: "Then why don't you let General Du and General Xu go out to listen and see if they will have any news." ”

Helian Yi nodded and agreed: "It's okay." ”

After touching for about an hour, Du Shaowei hurriedly came: "Princess, they said that King Ji was injured, and he was still very badly injured. But there is no definite news after all. ”

Helian Yi stood up suddenly and said to Du Shaoji: "General Du, let's go to Liaozhou." ”

Shen Liuxiang tried to dissuade: "Princess, it will be several hours away from Liaozhou here, and the road is not easy to walk on this snowy day." I'm afraid I won't be able to catch it when I go now. ”

Helian Yi didn't allow her to say: "If it's not easy to go, you have to go, the situation on Lu Zhongjian's side is very good, and King Ji's side can't go wrong." Pack up the things we need on our way, and let's go. ”

"Yes."

******

It's already two o'clock, and Xiao Yunyan's Chinese army tent is still coming and going, and Xiao Yunyan and several generals are arranging their troops: "Taojianling, this king will personally lead the troops." ”

A general hurriedly stopped: "Calculate that their garrison has exceeded 10,000, and His Highness doesn't have many people to bring, I'm afraid that I will hit a stone with an egg." For the sake of safety, let's let the last general go. ”

Xiao Yunyan resolutely refused: "I calculated that Taojianling must also be Zhao Hai personally in battle, and I am also planning to meet this Zhao Hai in person." You remember, you're going to take down the Raven Hills tonight no matter what. ”

"Yes."

Luo Hong said: "Don't worry, with me protecting Your Highness, nothing will go wrong." ”

From time to time, a soldier came to report: "Your Highness, there are two weak scholars from outside Yuanmen, saying that they want to see Your Highness." He said his surname was He. ”

"He?" Xiao Yunyan was a little stunned for a while, and Luo Hu reminded on the side: "Could it be Gongzi He, we can't get out of this news, and she's afraid that she is worried about His Highness." ”

Xiao Yunyan realized that it was Helian Yi's master and servant who came, and hurriedly said, "Invite them in." He turned back and said to the generals: "Okay, that's it, you go and prepare." ”

But for a while, Helian Yi entered Xiao Yunyan's bedroom. There was only one candle in the tent, and Xiao Yunyan was lying on the marching bed, as if he had fallen asleep. Helian Yi crept in, and no one would tell her what Xiao Yunyan's injuries were, so she had to get closer to see his face to find out. As soon as he leaned over, he was caught in his chest by Xiao Yunyan's strong and powerful arms.

"Your Highness, you—you're not hurt?" Helian Yi was more surprised than overwhelmed at this time, and wanted to leave his chest, but he hugged him tighter.

"Are you worried about me?" Xiao Yunyan still refused to let go of his hand.

"Besides, His Highness didn't give me any news, I asked General Du to inquire and said that His Highness was injured, so I hurried over." Helian Yi finally struggled to break free from Xiao Yunyan's shackles and raised his head.

Xiao Yunyan looked at her with a smile, "It's my fault, I forgot to say hello to you." It was indeed shot by Zhao Hai's people that day......

"Hit an arrow? Now ......."

Xiao Yunyan saw her concerned and nervous appearance, and comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a small injury." Later, it was reported from Zhao Hai's side that I was not lightly injured, so I calculated it, and no matter how much they shouted these days, I should not fight. I was expecting to wait until tomorrow to send you a letter, but I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. With that, Xiao Yunyan stood up and stretched out his arms to show that his body was fine.

"What does Your Highness want to do tomorrow?"

"It's not tomorrow, it's tonight, I'm going to surprise Zhao Hai's garrison camp and drive him out of Xuyang."

"However, the disparity between the forces of your two sides is too great......"

"There is a way to use troops, not in the troops."

"However, His Royal Highness is not King Yi, Zhao Hai is also a fierce general, and the reason why he lost to King Yi back then was because he didn't know anything about King Yi."

Xiao Yunyan got up and got out of bed, "Don't worry, I've arranged it properly, and it'll be fine." ”

Helian Yi still tried his best to dissuade him, "Actually, Your Highness doesn't have to take the lead every time. ”

"But this time I have to go, my purpose is just to drive Zhao Hai out of Xuyang step by step."

Helian Yi saw that he couldn't stop him, so he had to say, "In this way, I wish His Highness a victory." ”

"Don't worry. By the way, how about Lu Zhongjian's side? ”

"Everything is going well, I heard that the new royal celebrity in the court is Kuocang Sihong, although these four people are the teachers of the twelve princes, no official and no position, but Ling Zun likes to listen to their opinions. I wonder if Your Highness has ever heard of these four people? ”

"Of course I do." Speaking of Sihong, Xiao Yunyan's eyes reappeared a little sad, "If it weren't for those four people, the prince wouldn't have ended up like that." In the early years, these four people shocked the world with one strategy and one speech, causing all the princes and princes in the world to covet them to enter the court to help themselves, Xiao Yunhao and even my father and the emperor have been struggling to seek them for many years without success. Last year, his uncle passed away, and his uncle's son Xiao Bai returned to Beijing with his spirit, which involved a period of past events, and his father got his wish to get Sihong. It's just that before I came to the border, these four people had not yet entered the court, and I had never seen them, so it is not surprising that my father and emperor are now listening to their opinions in everything. ”

Lu Xiang said that now the entire Liang, except for the Rui Wang Party, the rest of the courtiers are all in agreement, and even Sihong is trying his best to approve of changing his course, so this matter will only take some time. Your Highness, I believe that your wish and my wish will be fulfilled in the near future. ”

Xiao Yunyan looked at He Lianyi's tired face again, and said to her, "You guys make do with a night's rest here first." ”

"Okay." Helian Yi was about to leave, and was hugged by Xiao Yunyan unexpectedly, he stared at her with burning eyes, Helian Yi dodged uneasily, trying to break free from him, but saw him approaching him and whispered her name in his ear: "Yi'er, Yi'er-"

Helian Yi was thinking about countermeasures, when suddenly someone outside the camp tent shouted: "Your Highness, the soldiers are ready, just waiting for you." ”

Xiao Yunyan had no choice but to respond: "Let them go first." ”

"Your Highness, go quickly, don't delay the big thing."

Xiao Yunyan said reluctantly: "Okay, then you-wait for me to come back." ”

Helian Yi forced himself to smile, "That's nature. ”

Xiao Yunyan walked out at this time, and He Lianyi, who was left in the account, had a blue face, and his heart was still beating "thump". Helian Yi hurriedly ran out, Shen Liuxiang was waiting outside the tent, and when he saw Helian Yi's expression like the rest of his life, he asked puzzledly: "Princess, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing." When he replied, he was a little embarrassed.

******

When it was over, Helian Yi suddenly woke up from his sleep, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat for a while, and his heart was beating hard.

Shen Liuxiang sighed, she didn't need to ask to know that she had a nightmare again, "What did you dream again?" ”

"I dreamed that King Ji was injured again." Helian Yi's eyes were still frightened.

"Again......" Shen Liuxiang was a little surprised, and then gave an answer, "The princess has been dreaming of King Ji's safety again and again in the past few days, which must be caused by overthinking." ”

Helian Yi also knew that Shen Liuxiang was just comforting herself, so she nodded, "um", and said, "Sleep." He lay down again, but he was still anxious, and he couldn't sleep until it was about to dawn, and he fell asleep again in a daze.

Until the hour of the hour, Helian Yi's master and servant were woken up by a loud noise, and the two woke up almost at the same time, and hurriedly put on their clothes. I saw Xiao Yunyan being carried in by several soldiers, the battle clothes on his body were soaked in blood, and there was no trace of blood on his lips.

Shen Liuxiang ran to the side to take a look, and when he saw him dying, he couldn't help but exclaim: "What's wrong with Your Highness?" ”

Luo Hong and Luo Hu were both red-eyed, and they didn't answer, and one of Luo Hong's side said: "I was shot by an arrow, and the military doctor said that the murder was auspicious, and I may not be able to survive tonight." ”

Helian Yi stood a little farther away, listening to this, holding her eyes, and almost fell down, but fortunately she was propped up on a pillar beside her.

Everyone carried Xiao Yunyan to the big tent and put him on the couch, and Helian Yi's master and servant came in, and everyone slowly dispersed. At this time, there was a solemn atmosphere in the army, and they had driven Zhao Hai out of Xuyang as they wished, and occupied the high ground, so that Zhao Hai could no longer come in. It should have been worth celebrating, but now Xiao Yunyan is in danger, he has always been the first to charge in the army, and the soldiers are bent on not protecting him and fall into unpredictable anxiety.

Luo Hong and Luo Hu sat on the grass outside the tent, both of them trapped in deep self-blame. There were only two Helianyi master and servant left in the tent, Shen Liuxiang couldn't cry, Helianyi was also prepared in the face of this failure, seeing Shen Liuxiang crying sadly, he said: "Don't cry, if he really can't survive tonight, then the Xuanshi won't count what he has measured, and it's a big deal to start all over again." ”

For the first time, Shen Liuxiang felt that Helian Yi's words were not listening, and even retorted: "The slave maid is not crying because he is the king of Ji, the slave maid is crying because he is the highness in front of him, we have gone out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den all the way, only he is really thinking about the princess." Helian Yi was silent for a while when he heard this.

After Shen Liuxiang cried for a while, her heart was also more comfortable, and she began to complain again: "It seems that the words of that Xuan Master can't be trusted at all, otherwise we wouldn't have come to this point." Knowing this, we didn't have to approach King Ji so deliberately, and in the end we would be sad in vain. ”

Shen Liuxiang fell for a while, and saw that Helian Yi was still silent, "Princess, what should we do next?" ”

Helian Yi sighed: "When he breathes, let's take advantage of the chaos and leave." In the future, we can only take one step at a time. ”

Shen Liuxiang nodded, thought for a while, and said, "This Xuan Master, should we believe it or not?" ”
