A melodious bell rang in the Yuzhen Temple.

Li Jilan got up unhurriedly, picked out a colorful dress from the wardrobe and looked at it, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

It's a pity that she shouldn't wear it like this as a cultivator, so she had no choice but to put it back, but she felt that it was also fun to just look at it.

Putting on a Taoist robe and secretly wiping a little rouge on the bronze mirror, she picked up the manuscript she had prepared last night and walked out of the boudoir, and went to the law hall to find Li Tengkong.

The law hall is quiet, Kyauknu is leaning on the wooden frame and reading a storybook, Mian'er is holding a futon and sleeping back to sleep, only Li Tengkong is meditating.

"Is Vacant doing his homework?"

"Doesn't Ji Lanzi do her homework?"

Li Jilan replied as a matter of course: "But I'm worried that if I meditate, I'll bend my legs." ”

As she spoke, she lifted her robe and showed Li Tengkong her straight calves.

This small gesture made Li Tengkong feel a little more comparative, and whispered: "My legs are also very straight." ”

"I'll see."

Although they are all women, when Li Jilan touched Li Tengkong's calf and raised her head to show her eyes as bright as peach blossoms, Li Tengkong was still a little embarrassed, thinking that this senior sister was weird and always close to her for no reason.

"Ji Lanzi, a guest is coming."

"Is the gentleman here? Please. ”

"No, it's the county lord who is here."

"Wait, I'll be over in a minute......"

Li Jilan hurriedly got up and picked up the manuscript and went out.

The drama that Xue Bai asked her to write was to be dedicated to the saint at that time, and it should not be seen by others. When she hid the manuscript and rushed to the hall, she saw Li Tengkong talking to Li Yuesu.

Since they met in the Zongsheng Palace, the three of them have become friends.

Li Yuesu is different from other princesses and county lords, she is not arrogant, but very sympathetic, especially treating women. She lost her mother since she was a child, and was raised by the crown princess Wei, and later Wei Jian's case was discovered, and Concubine Wei left home, in short, she experienced ups and downs.

"Huh? Normally you were glad that I came, but today it is as if I am not welcome. ”

"Sanniang, this is nonsense." Li Jilan said: "I'm looking forward to you coming." ”

"Do you have guests?" Li Yuesu could see at a glance that she was lying, and said with a smile: "Then when he comes, I will say goodbye, so don't hide it." ”

"Where are the guests?"

Li Tengkong still didn't admit it, but the next moment, a female crown came running and said: "Tengkongzi, Ji Lanzi, Xue Lang has arrived." ”

"Okay, I'm leaving." Li Yuesu got up with a smile, but asked, "By the way, can I talk to him?" ”

~~

When he met Li Yuesu in Princess Yuzhen's Taoist temple, Xue Bai was not surprised.

To his surprise, the granddaughter of the emperor apologized to him.

"I'm sorry, I ask the saint to give me a marriage. If you marry me, you'll be very unhappy, right? ”

"Is there something wrong?"

"Can I compensate you again for my grandfather?"

There is no compensation for no reason, Xue Bai knew why she came, and muttered: "I'll say a few words, you tell your grandfather." ”

Li Yuesu was a little surprised by his tone and thought he was fierce.

But she nodded.

"Okay."

"Let him no longer try to win me over, useless, and don't worry too much, I promise Mr. Li's words, count; Now I have also figured it out, Mr. Li is right, long live the saint, I don't have to care about the grievances with the East Palace, just leave it to the years. ”

Li Yuesu's eyes widened, frightened by this kind of words, and she became more and more worried about her grandfather's condition.

Xue Bai said: "In short, at the moment, I am dedicated to preparing for the Spring Festival, and I will no longer be involved in these intrigues. ”

He raised his hand, put on a respectful attitude, and walked away.

It took a while for Li Yuesu to react, secretly thinking that Xue Bai was really rude and bold, and he had such an attitude towards the East Palace.

Suddenly, she inexplicably thought of the picture of Concubine Wei kneeling in front of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha and twisting her long hair one by one, and she faintly guessed in her heart whether Grandpa had lost his prestige little by little since then......

~~

Prince Annex.

"That's what he said?"

"Yes, my daughter sees that he is so leisurely, and he should no longer be an enemy of Grandpa."

Li Yuesu actually beautified Xue Bai's most vicious sentence, and changed it to a grudge that would gradually fade with the years.

In the end, she sighed with emotion: "Mr. Li is really capable, although he didn't make Xue Bai a friend, he easily turned the enemy into an enemy." Grandpa has one less cunning and sinister enemy, and he can rest assured that he can recuperate. ”

"There you go."

Li Heng waved his daughter away, sat up from the sickbed, took off the wet cloth on his forehead, and his face was a little pale.

"Mr. did appease Xue Bai and used a good method...... It turns out that as long as it is said that the prince must be before the saint, everything can be solved. ”

"Your Highness, no one would think like this, it must be Xue Bai who deliberately separated."

"Ahem, cough, maybe he didn't think like this, maybe he thought that it would be enough for this prince to succeed to the throne for a year or two, and he didn't have to manage any prestige and power."

Saying that, Li Heng waved his hand and sighed: "You don't have to persuade me, I'm not blaming Mr., he is a loyal minister of the society, and he should think like this." It's all my life. ”

"Your Highness!"

Li Jingzhong burst into tears when he heard this, and he fell to the ground and wailed in grief.

As soon as he cried like this, Li Heng calmed down, rolled his eyes, and muttered: "It seems that it is not possible to win over the Yang Party...... How else can you protect your brother? ”

In fact, it is no longer conceivable, and the will of the saint cannot be violated. From Shibao City to Pei Mian's case, it was an excuse, and after prevaricating for so long, it was finally impossible to prevaricate.

At this moment, a little eunuch hurriedly came and said, "Your Highness, someone asks to see you, claiming to be the daughter of Wang Zhong's heir." ”

Li Jingzhong was taken aback when she heard this, and secretly scolded her for how dare she come, and hurriedly reminded: "Your Highness, the case that the sage asked His Highness to investigate is not yet eyebrow-raising. ”

"Ahem......"

Li Heng hesitated slightly, his face flushed with bitterness, coughed a few times, lay down again, and turned over.

Seeing this scene, Li Jingzhong wiped his tears and rushed to the door in person.

"Wang Twelve Niang, please go back, Your Highness is really sick."

"I beg Your Highness to protect my grandfather."

"Wang Twelve Niang misunderstood, the reason why it is said that the border town uses the Hu people is to appease and motivate the Hu generals, and it has nothing to do with General Wang." Li Jingzhong was humble and said bitterly: "Right now, people are worried about the sky, but it is the harm to General Wang." ”

Wang Yunxiu listened, although she was still terrified, so she had to return home temporarily.

There is a map in her home, which she has drawn by herself based on previous information, and is used to analyze the situation in the first battle of Stone Castle City.

Wang Zhongsi has besieged Shibao City for more than four months, and Ge Shuhan has supported after defeating the Tubo cavalry.

"Grandpa, why aren't you still winning?"

~~

A simple map was placed on the small case, and Xue Bai was sitting opposite Li Mi talking.

"The reason why General Wang hasn't broken through Stone Fort City yet, presumably is still waiting."

"Wait?"

Xue Bai said: "When the weather turns cold, it is better to use the method of accumulating salary to burn rocks, and the cannon will hit the stone grease fireball and burn the city wall......"

The fire on the small stove was boiling, and the teapot on the fire was gurgling.

After hearing this, Li Mi's face showed compassion, and he said, "If General Wang is willing to attack, he must be able to break the city earlier, and this move is to reduce casualties." ”

"Then I don't know."

"The saint was very satisfied with the battle of Little Bolu, and today he sent a decree to Anzai to reward him. And asked, Gao Xianzhi destroyed a country, Wang Zhonghei still can't break a city? ”

Xue Bai said: "Mr. Li is so well-informed? ”

Li Mi waved his hand and said, "Wait for Zhao Hanlin, a little bit of convenience." ”

"Sitting and watching the angler, there is nothing to envy the fish."

"No kidding." Li Mi Zhengse said: "Do you know who the right minister intends to let take over the post of General Wang?" ”

"If you take Shibao City, General Wang should have a great merit, how can he already think of someone to replace him?"

"Jiedu uses Hu people, is it just for you and me?" Li Mi said: "It is said to General Wang's subordinates, Ge Shuhan, An Sishun and other Hu generals." It is reported that Ge Shuhan has been proposed to be the envoy of the Longyou Festival; An Sishun is the envoy of Hexi and Shuofang; An Lushan is also the envoy of the Hedong Festival. ”

This is the intention of dividing up the four border towns in the hands of Wang Zhonghe, which is expected.

Li Mi continued: "Do you know who An Sishun is? His uncle is An Lushan's stepfather, and the two are cousins. ”

"In this way, the five major festival envoys in the world are all brothers of the An family?" Xue Bai's expression was flat, but he casually said something extremely rebellious, "It's better for the sage to directly establish An Lushan as the crown prince." ”

Li Yu originally wanted to scare Xue Bai.

But even though he was in a calm state of mind when he cultivated, he was still frightened by Xue Bai's wild words, and at first glance, his face turned pale.

"Not really." Li Mi had to comfort him and said, "First, whether this arrangement is still uncertain. ”

Xue Bai understands that it is nothing more than bargaining.

Li Linfu's slogan was shouted out first, fighting for these Hu people, and it still depends on Li Longji's mind that he can decide on a few of them.

"Second, the loyalty of the An brothers is still credible, especially An Sishun, who is loyal and ......."

"Say that?" Xue Bai was too lazy to listen to the loyalty, and said, "Since you and I are talking in private today, I will show you some immortal skills." ”

"Okay."

"I see An Lushan's appearance has been reversed, and the liver and gallbladder are evil, and sooner or later they will be reversed." Xue Bai said: "What if An Sishun is loyal then?" If you give it great power, kill or not kill? The way of employing people, with a fair and rigorous system, all hope for 'loyalty' and decentralization, to put it in the first place, still think that everything is under control, incorrigible. ”

"Whether An Lushan wants to rebel or not, it is useless for you and me to say." Li Mi said: "He is now stranded in Beijing, waiting for this change. ”

"Oh."

Li Mi asked, "What do you think?" ”

"Li Hanlin lifted me." Xue Bai said: "I don't even have an official body, what else can I think?" It's just to hear about it and pass the time. ”

"You also have a friendship with General Wang, can you ask Mrs. Qiu Guo to come forward and persuade you?"

"Impossible." Xue Bai shook his head decisively, "It's okay to make some small things in ordinary times, but this time it's a major military event, let her open her mouth to comment a few words, like words?" ”

Li Mi was silent for a while, and then asked: "I heard that Yuan Zai, the salt and iron judge next to Uncle Yang, is the son-in-law of General Wang, and Uncle Yang may come forward?" ”

Xue Bai took the teapot away from the fire, did not add salt, scooped up the tea soup, and said casually: "I have no friendship with Wang Zhonghei, and he is not my brother-in-law." You also know that I am a utilitarian person, and the reason why I built a boulder cannon is because I know this object, and I want the little girl around me to make a contribution. ”

Li Mi groaned: "At this time, even if only one Hedong Festival envoy is retained? ”

"Sir asked me? Why not ask the prince? ”

"The prince is sick."

Xue Bai's reaction was flat, and he really didn't care about himself, and said, "Let's drink tea." The prince is sick, you and I are two little people, it's better not to talk about state affairs. ”

~~

Sunlight poured from the lattice window into the small room, and Qinglan woke up and rubbed her eyes.

Xue Zhai originally had chickens, but she knew that Xue Bai often got up late, so she asked the kitchen to stew all the roosters. Therefore, the early morning of the Xue family was very quiet.

After a little freshening up, Qinglan walked around to the main house.

The orientation of the main house is not very good, it is facing west, so the morning sun does not shine in, and it is still a little dim, Xue Bai is sleeping soundly.

"Lang Jun, it's time to get up."

After calling out, seeing that Xue Bai didn't respond, Qinglan said, "If you can't afford it, I'll tickle you." ”

This is a big progress in their relationship recently, because when she was playing with Xue Bai, she scratched him and ended up scratching on his couch, and gradually got used to it.

"I really scratch you......"

Xue Bai felt a pair of small hands reach into his arms in a daze, turned over, and a soft body squeezed into the quilt. He had no choice but to hug her and not let her make trouble.

"Sleep a little longer."

"Oh."

As soon as Qinglan was hugged, she didn't make trouble.

After a while, Xue Bai said, "General Wang is about to conquer Stone Castle City." ”

"What?"

"When the time comes, please give you the credit for this rebellious sin, if you want to marry whoever you want to be a wife, you can also be a wife."

Qing Lan was unhappy when she heard this, feeling that he still didn't care about herself, but thinking that he had worked hard to get out of his nationality for himself, his mind was inevitably a little confused.

She asked in a low voice, "Lang Jun, can I be your concubine?" ”

Xue Bai hadn't fully woken up, and subconsciously responded: "Then you earned it." ”

Qinglan was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know what this was saying.

When Xue Bai came to his senses, he should still remember what he said, and sat there and muttered, "I'm a little too crazy."

In short, he promised to accept her as a concubine, and Qing Lan was very much looking forward to this, and even cared about the battle report of Shibao City.

Finally, on the sixth day after the light snow, she was drying clothes in the yard when she suddenly saw Xue Bai coming back.

"Huangfu Cao, Stone Castle City has been captured."

Qinglan raised her head and looked at Xue Bai, stunned in a daze, because she hadn't heard anyone call her name for a long time.

"Lang Jun?"

"The battle report has just arrived, and the performance of the meritorious service has not yet been delivered." Xue Bai said: "But Wang Zhongji promised to write down your name, if he forgets it......"

He didn't say any more, just laughed.

Maybe there were people in Stone Castle who were taken down early and had fewer casualties?

He didn't know about this matter, and everything had to wait for the specific news to come out, and he only hoped that because of his own intervention, the intelligence of this battle would change a little for the better.

~~

At the same time, on the official road west of Chang'an, there were stagecoaches galloping.

The knights from west to east carry the merits of the first battle of Shibao City, and the names on the folds are one by one, including Ge Shuhan, who killed 5,000 Tibetan cavalry, and the generals who attacked and killed Shibao City at night, Gao Xiuyan, Tian Shengong, and Tian Shenyu...... There are also many meritorious craftsmen recorded, including Xue Bai, An Bobo, and Huangfu Cao.

In addition to these, there is also a list, which is the names of the war dead, which is very long.

"Phew!"

On the official road, another group of knights was running from east to west, carrying a holy decree to summon the king's loyal heir back to the court.

I recommend it, the wolf of the history department's "Clothed and Unclothed South Crossing" has been released, and you can watch it when you get older~~
