Li Xun'er explained: "It's not a big deal, it's just that my father is always nagging on the side, and my ears are calloused." ”

"Plus there's something wrong on the border."

"So I thought I'd just go back."

Hearing this, Fang Yaoyi hurriedly asked, "Is there chaos over there on the border?" ”

Li Xun'er gently put her index finger to her lips and said with a smile: "The secret in the army cannot be said." ”

Fang Yaoyi reacted and hurriedly silenced.

Looking at him like this, Li Xun'er chuckled and said, "It's not a big deal, don't worry." ”

Having said that, Fang Yaoyi obviously didn't believe what she said, and Liu Mei still didn't stretch.

Qin Shou went to Du Ruhui's place.

"I have heard of Your Majesty's will."

As soon as he saw Qin Shou, Du Ruhui said so.

Qin Shou was stunned, then chuckled and didn't speak.

A trace of sadness flashed on Du Ruhui's face, and he continued: "Your Majesty wants to completely get you used to the battlefield. ”

"But that's fine. In this way, when you return, you must have a high status. ”

Qin Shou didn't answer this, but took out a paper bag and put it on the table.

Then he said: "Master Du, here are the medicines for treatment, I have divided these medicines into small packets, and I can boil one pack a day." ”

Du Ruhui nodded, and said, "How sure are you this time?" ”

Qin Shou said with a smile: "Master Du, you must take your medicine on time, and don't worry about the affairs of the court anymore." ”

"When you're well, we'll get drunk."

Hearing this, Du Ruhui smiled.

When you get well, you can rest when you get drunk.

Doesn't this mean that this kid is completely sure that he will return triumphantly!

"Good, good."

Du Ruhui laughed loudly, "When I recover, wait for you to return triumphantly!" ”

After coming out of Du Ruhui's mansion, Qin Shou went to Tie Yingwei.

The Iron Eagle Guard is his greatest reliance, and he must bring them with him on this expedition.

It's just that this journey is a long way, and there are a lot of checks, but I don't know if these armor weapons and the like can be brought over.

After listening to Qin Shou's words, Liu Cang hugged his fists and said, "Listen to the prince's orders." ”

"Iron Eagle Guard gambled his life, and he will definitely protect the safety of the prince!"

Qin Shou smiled: "You don't have to gamble your lives, we have to return together." ”

Fan Li walked up to Qin Shou and asked softly, "Lord Wang, do you need to leave a letter for Miss Liu?" ”

Qin Shou shook his head and said, "No need, I will call Shangguan Yi to contact her." ”

When Qin Shou returned to Paiwang's Mansion, it was almost night.

At the beginning of the lanterns, there was a lively scene everywhere, and these people did not know the predicament of Datang at the moment.

But even if they did, there was very little they could do.

Qin Shou staggered all the way back to the palace.

"Husband, have you eaten? I told the back kitchen to make some food. ”

Fang Yaoyi had been waiting in the main hall, and when she saw Qin Shou coming back, she hurriedly got up and asked softly.

Qin Shou hurriedly stopped and said, "No need, I have eaten with Brother Cheng outside, Madame should rest early." ”

Fang Yaoyi looked at Qin Shou with a tired face, her lips opened slightly, but she just nodded after all.

The candle flame flickered.

Fang Yaoyi lay on the couch.

And Qin Shou was sitting at the table drinking tea.

"Sister Xun'er is here today."

Fang Yaoyi said suddenly.

Qin Shou's action of drinking tea stopped slightly, and he turned his back to Fang Yaoyi, so that Fang Yaoyi couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

"What did she say?"

Fang Yaoyi replied softly, "She's going back to the frontier." ”

"Yes." Qin Shou then handed the teacup to his mouth, sipped lightly and said, "I heard Li Shangshu say this." ”

"It's not a big deal."

Fang Yaoyi said thoughtfully: "Really? ”

"Having said that, I've heard that my husband is also going on a campaign."

"It's something that the imperial grandfather has set a long time ago."

Qin Shou had mentioned this to Fang Yaoyi as a joke before, but he was remembered by this girl.

Qin Shou chuckled, "Yes, but it's still early." ”

"And it's just to be an ornament on the edge of the battlefield, there is no danger."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the room.

It's quiet.

Even the subtle sound of the lights burning is particularly harsh.

After a long time, Qin Shou only heard a soft sigh from the couch.

"Husband, it's not too early."

"Let's rest."

Fang Yaoyi didn't continue to ask about it, which should have made Qin Shou breathe a sigh of relief, but for some reason, Qin Shou didn't feel relieved.

Early the next morning, Fang Yaoyi got up early.

When Qin Shou woke up, she walked in with a plate of dishes.

"What is this?" Looking at the obviously failed dish in front of him, Qin Shou was a little puzzled.

Fang Yaoyi's face was slightly red, and she seemed to be a little embarrassed, "I have never cooked for my husband since I married into the palace." ”

"So I thought about letting my husband eat a bite of the food I made before leaving."

"It's just..."

Fang Yaoyi looked at the plate embarrassedly and said, "It seems to have failed." ”

Qin Shou didn't say anything, and after getting off the couch, he took the plate and walked to the side of the case.

Gulping down.

The first bite.

Somewhat salty.

Second bite.

It's a little sweet again.

The whole dish was eaten clean by Qin Shou, and none of the bites were moderate.

But he ate with relish.

It turned out that Fang Yaoyi knew everything.

It's just that she didn't say it.

She was worried about Qin Shou, so she wouldn't ask everything thoroughly.

This dish is the evidence that Fang Yaoyi knows everything.

"Speaking of which, what should we call our children?"

Looking at the clean dinner plate, Qin Shou suddenly laughed and said, "If it's a boy, it's called..."

"It's too early!" Fang Yaoyi's voice came from behind, interrupting Qin Shou's words.

Qin Shou was a little stunned, and subconsciously turned his head.

I saw Fang Yaoyi standing beside Qin Shou, her eyes were slightly red, but she was trying her best to suppress it.

"When you get back, I'll choose a name."

There was silence in the middle of the night.

In the Lizheng Palace, the eldest grandson queen held her hands tightly, looking at the swaying lights, stunned.

In Li Jing's mansion, Li Xun'er, who was lying on the couch, turned sideways, and then changed his position to lie down.

It was a long time before she sighed faintly.

Inside Chang'an City.

I don't know how many people fall asleep, and I don't know how many people are uneasy.

On this day, Li Shimin personally watched the departure of the expeditionary army.

On the towering city gate, his gaze never left, in front of the black-pressed army, the silver-white armored boy.

Trip out of Chang'an.

Along the way, the scene in Qin Shou's eyes changed from abundant to desolate.

Along the way, there were homeless people in tattered clothes, as well as rich and noble people with big bellies.

Until the proximity to the northern desert, the most scene. The corpses exposed in the wilderness, the goshawks hovering in the sky, have become the number of households that Qin Shou has seen, and the common people are even rarer.

After marching for several days, Li Jing divided the men and horses into two roads, leading one by himself.

And Qin Shou led a team with Cheng Yanjin.

Finally, when he came to a village full of corpses, Qin Shou finally felt the breath of the battlefield.
