Chapter 35: The War
"Why doesn't my sister drink it?"
Liu Feixu was puzzled, Mu Yan looked down at the bowl of medicine on the table, frowned slightly, and said, "How can you tell which bowl is yours and which bowl is mine?"
"I brought in the two bowls of medicine just now and put them on the table, so I can naturally distinguish them. ”
Mu Yan pursed his lips and remained silent, still not moving. I can't blame her for being suspicious and sick, but in recent days, every time she drinks medicine, two bowls of medicine are sent together, and her medicine is always given to her by Liu Feixi, and the other bowl is drunk by Liu Feixu herself. She had never doubted it before, but now she saw that the medicine bowl and the color were exactly the same. I was subconsciously a little suspicious.
"Is it possible that my sister is afraid that I will change the medicine and poison you?"
Liu Feixu saw Mu Yan's hesitation, raised his eyebrows and smiled, but he was not angry. I saw her reach out and pick up another bowl of medicine on the table, and drank it without hesitation.
"Sister, you ......"
"In this way, my sister is relieved, right?"
"Sister, I didn't mean that...... I'm sorry, it's me who is wrong, and I blame you. ”
Mu Yan was quite embarrassed when she saw this, and sure enough, she was seriously suspicious. She hurriedly took the bowl of medicine, blew it, and drank it in one gulp. Liu Feixu smiled and waved his hand, not caring at all.
"You are not wrong about what my sister said. ”
She took the empty medicine bowl in Mu Yan's hand and put it down, her expression serious and serious. "My sister is right to be suspicious, you are in an enemy country, so you should take more precautions. First, I am not my sister's relative, and secondly, I still have a grudge with my sister in the past. So if you doubt me, I don't blame you at all. On the contrary, I think you should be on your guard. ”
Liu Feixu pulled Mu Yan's hand and clenched it tightly, and suddenly leaned into her ear and whispered: "Your Majesty's eyes and ears are all over the imperial city, including your sister's house, so there are some things I can't say much." Sister just need to remember that what should be eaten and what should be drunk should be drunk, although it is as your Majesty wishes. Everything is with my sister, the third prince let me go back to the snow country, it is kind to me, I will never let you and the child have anything to do. ”
It was only two days after Shen Li returned to Beijing, and after consulting Shen Duyi and visiting Xia Yin, he and Shen Yan set off for Lancheng.
The eldest prince Shen Yao was well-informed, and greeted the two of them at the city gate early. After seeing Shen Li, he greeted him with a smile.
"Third brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"
Shen Li arched his hand and said politely: "Thanks to the eldest brother's concern, the third brother is living quite well." It's just that the third brother is not here these days, and the heavy responsibility of guarding Lancheng is all on the eldest brother, which is really a bit ashamed. ”
"Haha, it's okay!" Shen Yao waved his hand, laughing arrogantly. "Isn't this just a proof to my father that without you Shen Li, I can still achieve great things?"
"Big brother, do you know how to write the word modesty?"
Shen Yan couldn't listen anymore, so he couldn't help but interject. Shen Li raised his hand to stop him, his face calm and not angry at all.
"What the eldest brother said is that the seventh brother must not be rude. As he spoke, the third prince took out a golden sign from his sleeve pocket.
"Big brother is so capable, when I came back, I thought that my father had already handed over the military power to you. Who ever wanted to ask about this, but my father actually said no. Hey, I think it's been a hard time for my eldest brother these days, so my younger brother hurriedly took over the military power and came over to help you. ”
"Poof!"
Shen Yan couldn't hold back, and immediately laughed. Shen Yao's face was red, and his face was hideous, eager to devour the two brothers in front of him alive.
"Shen Li, my father just likes you. But let's see, Su Moxie has been standing still and doesn't know what to do, if this Lancheng is lost, I think he will have any reason to protect you!"
Shen Yao flicked his sleeves angrily and turned to leave. Shen Li was silent, but Shen Yan couldn't bear it, and shouted: "Hey! What kind of arrogance is he? Third brother, in the days when you are away, Lancheng has not been besieged at all. Su Moxie didn't know if he was sick in the brain, so he actually sent troops to attack the other three small cities in the Ming Kingdom. ”
"He's not sick in the head. ”
Shen Li tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly, "Lancheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is heavily guarded. Big brother is not a fool either, it is impossible to sit still. Su Moxie did not attack Lancheng because he was not absolutely sure. After all, his father is still sitting firmly on the Jinluan Palace, he is a former hero, and everyone else has knocked on the door, but he is still not in a hurry. Therefore, Su Moxie did not dare to act rashly. ”
"Yes, could it be that the father has some secret to being invincible?"
Shen Yan asked very stupidly and naively, obviously receiving a blank look from Shen Li.
"My father is an old fox, he is called a trick, to put it bluntly, he is just scaring people. But because of this, it can just confuse people. Su Moxie broke several small cities in a row, the purpose was to explore the truth and the truth. Helplessly, his father was not fooled, so he could only return to the dynasty in defeat. ”
Of course, there is another possibility. It's Su Moxie who is deliberately waiting for him to come back!
"Third brother, now that the wood is in his hands, what should we do?"
"Wait!"
"Wait?" Shen Yan was stunned, he was reckless, and he was most annoyed by this word. "Wait again, third brother, why are we always passive? Why can't we just hit over and snatch the wood back?"
"Grab a corpse and come back?"
“......”
Shen Yan shut up and didn't dare to speak, Shen Li sighed lightly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ayan, I know you care about Yan'er, but you should know who Su Moxie is." He has always done things by unscrupulous means, and the cigarette is in his hands, and I am actually more at ease than anyone else. In vain, people in this world always say how talented I am, in fact, there are times when I am helpless. ”
"That'...... How long will we have to wait this time?"
"It won't take long. Even if Su Moxie can endure his temperament, some people can't bear it. You have to be ready to face the battle at any time, then General Chu is already not easy to deal with, and there is an old General Fu, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with. ”
*
In the border city, Fu Qingheng looked at the topographic map of Lancheng, and his brows were very serious.
He is old, and his days are numbered. Therefore, although Su Moxie was leaving, he instructed him not to act rashly. But he really couldn't hold back his restless heart.
Since the departure of the Snow Country army, more than half a year has passed. He walked forward with a heart of revenge, but he didn't expect to capture a border city, which was still far from the goal he set.
Shen Duyi was really an old fox, and although the city was lost on three sides, he was still indifferent. The road on three sides is very long, and the terrain is not good, so going to attack is just to explore the truth and reality. Helplessly, the old fox was very shrewd, as if he had seen through their tricks a long time ago
And Lancheng is very well guarded, but it is not impossible to attack. But Su Moxie didn't know what was going on, he just stuck to his own opinion and was unwilling to attack Lancheng. Now that he heard that the three princes had returned, Su Moxie took the hostages and returned to Baicheng, and I don't know what to do.
The little emperor is still young and has been ambitious for many years, so he can endure it. But he was different! He couldn't wait any longer, especially after the wedding of the little princess of the Night Kingdom. That day, he stood outside the window and blew the cold wind all night, looking at the two people who were snuggling up to each other in the candle-lit room, and he almost lost his mind with the anger in his heart.
