In the Chongwen Pavilion of Xunjin City, Helian Yi saw Lu Zhongjian who was returning in a hurry, saw his expression, and asked in his heart: "Lord Lu, haven't you seen him before?" ”

Lu Zhong simply said: "Yes, I haven't seen it." ”

Although Helian Yi had a hope in his heart, he was not surprised by this result at all, and only said: "It is better to rely on yourself than to ask for others, the most valuable thing in our Great Xia is to be concentric." With the presence of the old general, this city will be able to be defended. If the losses in this battle are too great, there will always be a way out if you find a way to recruit troops in the future, or continue to use those mercenaries in the western border. ”

Although Helian Yi said that the clouds were so light and light, in the dead of night, she always tossed and turned. So, I got up, went up the city wall alone, and looked in the direction of Jianfeng Gang. In the camp of the Liang army in the distance, sporadic lights could still be faintly seen. It seems that only at this time, she feels that she is very close to Xiao Yunyan, and when she thinks of the past, she can't help but feel a little infatuated in her eyes. For a while, she forgot the cold wind in the cold winter, forgot the cold in the cold night, and only thought about the moment of warmth that Xiao Yunyan had brought her. Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps, and Luo Zichen's voice came from behind his ears.

"Princess, the night is so deep and so cold, why did you come here alone?"

Helian Yi was very reluctant to let this thought of his heart be disturbed, so he had to reply: "I can't sleep, walk around, and see how those ironclad soldiers will set up camp." ”

Luo Zichen felt strange, thinking that those Ning troops would not camp in the direction of her gaze anyway, because that was where the Liang army was stationed. But Luo Zichen didn't intend to poke her, but said: "Don't worry, princess, evil is invincible, tonight's pre-battle statement by General Fu will boost morale, and we will definitely defeat them." ”

Helian Yi nodded, and Luo Zichen persuaded again: "Princess, your body is important, let's go back quickly." ”

"Hmm." Helian Yi nodded again and went back.

Luo Zichen silently followed behind her, wanting to speak several times, but he was always intimidated by her majesty. He remembered that at the beginning, although the emperor intended to let Helian Yi choose a husband between him and Zeng Gongzi, but at that time, he could clearly feel that Helian Yi's heart was more inclined to himself, if it wasn't for that accident, maybe the two of them would have been married, and after marriage, Qin Se and Ming, and their children were around their knees. And this time he came to her after all the hardships, but he always felt that she had changed, and the carefree and innocent look of a girl in the past, Helian Yi, could no longer find it, and now in front of him was the eldest princess who was high up and not angry and arrogant. Once upon a time, she was in the deep palace, and he couldn't see her often, but she was as close as she was. Now he can see her all the time, although she is close at hand, but he often feels that he is far away from the world. But he thought about it again, and now that she was burdened with a thousand gold, it was reasonable that she had no time to take care of anything else. Thinking like this, the beliefs of the past are reborn.

"Okay, Master Luo go back." Helian Yi walked back to the temporary dormitory, and before Luo Zichen could say goodbye, the person had already entered the door and disappeared in front of Luo Zichen's eyes, leaving Luo Zichen standing there in a daze.

The next day, Helian Yi came to Chongwen Pavilion early in the morning, Lu Zhongjian came in, Helian Yi saw that he had changed his usual calm and breezy look on weekdays, and only felt that something big was about to happen, so he hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, has the Iron Armor Army arrived in advance?" ”

Lu Zhongjian said: "No. ”

"Then what's wrong with Lord Lu?"

"The minister just received a message: it is said that Emperor Liang has not been to the court for a long time, and the current daily life is taken care of by Fan Guifei, and many government affairs between the court and China are also passed on by Fan Guifei."

"Concubine Fan?" For Helian Yi, who knows everything about the court of the Great Liang, this name seems to be inconspicuous except that she is the mother concubine of the Twelve Princes, so that she has never existed as this person at all. Since the death of the first empress, even the Liang family, who had been favored for more than 20 years, was not made the queen, but this Fan Guifei now dominates the entire court harem, which really surprised Helian Yi.

"But why does King Ji seem to have no idea about such a big thing? What about faith? ”

"There is no letter, and the person who sent the news said that all the letters of Daliang could not be released, and all the correspondence was strictly checked. This person had to think of a lot of ways for a few days before sneaking out to deliver the news. ”

Helian Yi realized that the matter was much more serious than she thought, "Oh? What happened to the girder? ”

"Maybe something is wrong. Someone said: It has been more than 20 days since he left the capital of Daliang, and no one knows what happened in these 20 days. Maybe this is just to intercept the news that King Ji and King Yi have obtained Daliang Jingzhong. ”

Helian Yi nodded, and carefully sorted out what happened to Daliang recently for a long time, but he really couldn't figure out the clues: "I remember hearing King Ji mention that his cousin Xiao Bai sent his father's coffin back to Beijing, and inadvertently mentioned that the two books left by Sihong's master Linghu Master were where King Jiangliu lived during his lifetime, and everything that happened to Daliang was caused by these two books. In the end, the two books fell into the hands of Emperor Liang, and Sihong was forced to reluctantly agree to enter the court in order to fulfill the promise of the year, but he refused to accept the official position, and was only willing to teach the twelve princes. Master Lu thinks that these four Hongs want to capture the old and indulge, retreat into advance, or are they really as reluctant as they seem?"

"These four people really don't look like the people of the Jiji camp, they are never easily involved in political affairs, and Emperor Liang often asks them about the affairs of the court before they are willing to give some advice. For example, in the previous spring exam, Emperor Liang originally wanted Sihong to be the invigilator, but Sihong pushed it back, so Emperor Liang chose Xu Zhengrong, Yang Zhengwu and others. But there is one thing, after the death of Liang Yong and Liang Wen, Emperor Liang followed Sihong's advice and sent the powerless Fan brothers to replace the Liang brothers. ”

"Could it be that these four people are really here to help the Twelve Princes? But the Twelfth Prince is only fifteen years old now, and there are clearly two princes in the court who have great military achievements and both civil and military skills, who will really surrender to him in this Manchu Dynasty? ”

"I really can't figure it out."

Helian Yi suddenly looked at Lu Zhongjian and asked, "Why does Lord Lu care so much about the matter of Daliang?" ”

Lu Zhongjian smiled, afraid that Helian Yi would see his thoughts, so he had to push: "The so-called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, Chen has always felt that any slight changes in Daliang will inevitably affect our Great Xia." ”

Helian Yi also believed him, but laughed self-deprecatingly: "Forget it, let's take care of ourselves first." ”
