Although Xiao Yunyan knew in her heart that Helian Yi would never turn back, she always held a glimmer of hope in her heart, looking forward to the day when she could fall into her hands again by coincidence like last time. However, day after day passed, he continued to look forward to it in the disappointment night after night. He didn't dare to return to Beijing, for fear that once He Lianyi came back, he wouldn't be able to find him. But in a blink of an eye, it was the seventh day of the new year, and Yang Zhengwu's repeated urging made him have to return to Beijing.

Luo Hu had already secretly sensed the clues, and also understood Xiao Yunyan's thoughts, he tried his best to say it well: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will stay in the army, if there is someone coming or something important, I will definitely keep people and report to His Highness in time." His Royal Highness Mr. Leng can rest assured that the affairs of the Wuyu clan are there. ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yunyan listened to this, and also knew Luo Hu's personality, so he was relieved a lot, and then he was ready to embark on the return journey.

He and Luo Hong had just mounted their horses and were about to leave, but they saw the messenger hurrying towards the two of them: "Your Highness, Lord Yang's letter has arrived again." ”

In the past few days, Yang Noon has been urging almost two letters a day, Xiao Yunyan hasn't read it, Luo Hong said: "It's nothing more than urging His Highness to leave." ”

The envoy said: "No, Lord Yang said to ask His Highness not to move." ”

When Xiao Yunyan heard this, he immediately opened the letter and looked at it, but saw Yang Zhengwu informing: The Lu father and daughter suddenly disappeared, and the entire Lu Mansion went to the empty building. Emperor Liang was furious and asked Xiao Yunyan not to return to Beijing for the time being, so as not to be implicated.

Xiao Yunyan suddenly understood that Helian Yi probably already had a place to stay, so he hurriedly summoned the Lu family and daughter back.

Xiao Yunyan handed the letter to Luo Hu on the side, and Luo Hu hurriedly said: "This soldier and horse was won by Lord Lu for His Royal Highness, I am worried that the father and daughter of the Lu family will just pick their son and quit doing it, and Your Majesty doesn't know what to think of us?" ”

Xiao Yunyan didn't care: "Whatever he thinks, if my father insists on taking back this soldier and horse, I can't help it." ”

"But we worked so hard to get it."

Xiao Yunyan calmed down at this time and said, "Don't worry, my father will not take back the soldiers and horses." I just captured the Wuyu clan here, and I controlled the Tuluo Branch, and the sixth brother is stuck with Zhao Shu, and he can only trust me now. ”

Luo Hu pondered for a while, and finally nodded, "That's right." ”

"Okay, I don't have to go back to Beijing this time."

......

A few days later, in Xiao Yunyan's big tent, soldiers continued to report back and forth on the war. After everyone finished reporting, Xiao Yunyan glanced at Luo Hu and said, "Luo Hu, you want to talk all afternoon, what do you want to say?" ”

Luo Hu was still thinking about it repeatedly, since Xiao Yunyan went to Tuluo to pick up Helianyi, not only did he not pick her back, but even her name became a taboo, he and Luo Hong felt strange, every time they knocked on the side and wanted to ask about Helianyi's whereabouts, but they were always stopped by Xiao Yunyan.

But today, all the answers have been solved, and there is no need to ask and think about it, Luo Hu probably understands what happened between them.

"Luo Hu, what the hell is going on? Don't wait for someone to come in again, you won't have a chance to speak. Xiao Yunyan saw that he was silent for a long time, and urged again.

Luo Hu felt that what he heard today must be reported to Xiao Yunyan by him first, so that he could be mentally prepared, so he said in a hurry: "Yes, it is about the news of He Gongzi." ”

As soon as he heard these three words, Xiao Yunyan's originally cold face was more like a hidden frost knife, but he was as arrogant as him, and he pretended not to care, knowing that Luo Hu was cautious, and he would not mention it until he had to, but turned his back and walked to the map, and his voice became hoarse again: "What's the matter?" ”

"After Gongzi He subdued Yangling City, I don't know where another one named Helian Ze appeared, claiming to be the son of the King of Great Xia who was left behind by the people, and was respected as the King of Pingning. They had already set up their own small court, and the restoration of the country was called 'Xia', and many former ministers of the former dynasty in Daning, who had been forced to nowhere to retreat by Helian Dingbang, rushed to take refuge in her. Well, they also hired an army of 7,000 from the Western Realms, which also set out from Yangling to the Yinping border yesterday. ”

Hearing this news, Xiao Yunyan's back froze for a long time, originally he had hope again and again, hoping that Helian Yi would one day change his mind and take the initiative to return to himself as he did at the beginning. But this time, he had completely understood that she really wouldn't come back. Xiao Yunyan's thoughts were spreading, and he heard Luo Hu say cautiously: "Looking at this posture, Gongzi He may want to take the northern line all the way." It just so happens that our current goal is from Lingcheng, Lingwo to Yong'an City, and it doesn't conflict with them. ”

Luo Hu expected Xiao Yunyan to say something, but Xiao Yunyan remained silent. As a last resort, Luo Hu said again: "Then-General Du's soldiers and horses, how will they be handled?" ”

Xiao Yunyan didn't think much about it, so he said coldly: "Withdraw." ”

Luo Hu was a little surprised by his decision, "However, except for those mercenaries, the rest of Yangling's soldiers and horses are all old and weak, all of them are vulnerable, if Helian Dingbang wants to deal with her, the consequences will ......."

"She's so capable, what's not to do?" Xiao Yunyan interrupted Luo Hu's words in an indifferent, mocking, and somewhat angry tone.

Luo Hu didn't know how to reply, so he only answered: "Yes." After being silent for a while, he finally understood that Xiao Yunyan actually hoped that Helian Yi would be able to come back one day and beg him to help her, so he said: "Then the general will send someone to send a letter to General Du and let him come back." ”

Xiao Yunyan didn't answer, Luo Hu was about to go out, but he heard Xiao Yunyan's tone suddenly become much softer, and said to Luo Hu: "Du Shaowei led the original Great Xia Army, and they will never really take refuge in my Liang, let them be." ”

"Yes."

"You get out."

"Yes."

In the evening, someone came to report again: "Your Highness, yesterday, Xu Qianmin of Xuzhou City left Xuzhou City with his three thousand soldiers, I don't know where to go, and the generals of the state city who passed by along the way asked them to take out His Highness's warrant, but they couldn't take it out." General Wu, the leader of Jicheng, asked me to lead His Highness's instructions, can I let them go? ”

After a few words from the visitor, Xiao Yunyan knew that Xu Qianmin was going to go to Helianyi, and said: "Let them pass, he can go wherever he wants, and no one can stop him." ”

At this moment, Mr. Leng happened to come in, "Your Highness, I just heard the news from Yinping, this Xu Qianmin used to be from the Xia Kingdom, and now he is going to go to Helian Ze?" ”

"Hmph, Helenze, the hairy boy who has not dried up, what can he do?"

"So His Highness knows about this? I was about to report to His Highness about the new Great Xia Kingdom. ”

Xiao Yunyan sneered, "What kind of Great Xia Kingdom, the old and the young, there is no one who has the best to do, what kind of fame can they toss?" Let Xu Qianmin go. ”

Mr. Leng still dissuaded: "Your Highness should not be underestimated, I don't know who this Helian Ze is who came out of nowhere, but if it is really the son of Emperor Xia Wen, it will definitely make a big splash." ”

"I'd like to see what they can make a splash."

"Gongsun Zhi and Fu Dasheng, the prestige of these two people alone is extraordinary, and what they can attract must be talented people. Your Highness still don't underestimate it. ”

Xiao Yunyan still sneered, "Gongsun Zhi and Fu Dasheng are both people who are in the waning mountains, even if they can make a splash, what are we afraid of?" The king wants them to be full-fledged and help us consume some of the military strength of the Helian Dingbang. For us, it's all good and harmless. ”

Mr. Leng looked at Xiao Yunyan, and agreed with his idea in his heart, but he felt very strange, Xiao Yunyan in front of him was clearly a look: I don't block you, but I just want to see your jokes. Mr. Leng didn't understand, who was he talking to? After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't figure it out, so he took his leave and left.
