Early in the morning, after bidding farewell to the clouds and dust, Gao Fei stood on the city wall and was speechless for a long time.

He remembered what Lin Yuebai said before leaving last night:

"Although Qianyuan is stubborn, she is not ignorant, and if she were here, she would not have promised you to make a wrong decision for her. ”

If Qianyuan was here, would she support herself in doing so? Maybe this decision was the right one, but why did she still feel heartache and unwillingness?

Goofy couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Third brother. I don't know when, Gao Yuan has already come to the city tower, "I found out that something is not quite right about you lately, you have something on your mind." ”

"Nope. Gao Fei immediately denied that at the moment of the war, he did not want to dwell more on this matter.

"Third brother, you don't have to hide it from me, when you mentioned kissing yesterday, your face was wrong, why did you suddenly change your mind now?" Gao Yuan obviously didn't intend to give up.

"Newspaper—" a guard suddenly ran up, "there's a woman outside the city asking to see you." ”

Gao Fei's eyes lit up, and he thought: Could it be Qianyuan? Hurry up and go down the city tower, and Gao Yuan also followed.

The city gate opened, but the person who came was not Lin Qianyuan, it was a strange woman with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, although it was not the stunning beauty of the country and the city, but it had another elegant and refined temperament.

Gao Yuan asked, "Who is this?"

Gao Fei felt that the woman was a little familiar, she should have seen it a few times before in Diyun City, and after recalling it carefully, she suddenly said: "It turned out to be the daughter of the prince and the prince of the previous dynasty, Miss Qin, please come in." ”

The woman smiled and saluted: "Qin Yu see the king." He glanced at Gao Yuan again and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince doesn't remember me, when you were young, you were your father's favorite student, and your father often praised you for having the most wisdom." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Miss Yu'er, rude and rude, I haven't seen her for more than ten years, and I can't recognize it anymore, forgive my sins. Gao Yuan then remembered that he was young and well-written and hated martial arts, and at that time, the most famous Hongru in the old capital of Qiucheng was Qin Xu, the crown prince of the dynasty, every time Mr. Qin went to Taixue to give lectures, he was the most active and serious student, and even went to Mr. Qin's house to study after school, and occasionally saw Qin Yu a few times, but I didn't expect the eighteenth change of the female university, the little girl of the year, now she has been slim, only the corners of the eyebrows and eyes, a little bit of bookish air between the gestures, and you can see a little trace of the year.

"Miss Qin doesn't have to be formal, let's go to Lone's study and talk. Gao Fei made a gesture of invitation and walked inside, followed by Gao Yuan and Qin Yu.

Although Gao Fei became the king, his study was still relatively simple, the three of them sat down separately, and Gao Yuan took the lead in speaking: "How is the teacher lately?"

Qin Yu bowed slightly, "Father is fine, but he plans to move out of Diyun City in the near future." ”

"Why did you leave the royal capital, did the Zhu family persecute you?" Gao Yuan asked.

Qin Yu shook his head and said: "That's not true, it's just that my father has often sighed melancholy recently, lamenting that the current situation is turbulent, the country's fortunes are declining, and the king is probably not suitable to stay for a long time." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Zhu Ning usurped power and troubled Southern Chu, now we have troops under the city, and we will attack the royal capital in a few days to exterminate the rebellious ministers, and when the time comes, the world will naturally be peaceful." ”

Unexpectedly, Qin Yu had a difficult face, she looked at Gao Fei who didn't say a word, and then looked at Gao Yuan, who was full of ambition, and said slowly: "That's why my father asked me to come to you this time." She paused for a moment before she said, "Father said...... You'd better not march this time. ”

"What?" Gao Yuan was taken aback, "We finally hit here, after the victory in Yunding City, the morale of our army is high, and all forces have rushed to defect, and now the situation is in our favor, do you want us to withdraw at this time?"

Qin Yu explained: "Father thinks that, on the contrary, His Royal Highness and the King are at the most dangerous moment at this moment. ”

Gao Fei, who had been silent, finally spoke: "What's the explanation?"

"The king should have heard that since you raised troops in Yunding City, the neighboring countries of Qingqiu and Wuxian have been paying close attention to the situation of our Southern Chu, and now the entire southern border is the only one that we have the qualification to compete with these two countries for hegemony, do you think they will let go of this opportunity?"

"It's hard to say, they missed it five years ago. ”

"This time is different. ”

"What's the difference?"

"Five years ago, Xiong Yu lost the support of the people, and the first war was about to collapse, and the two countries had already decided the overall situation before they had time to react, and if the war situation was as anxious as it is now, I was afraid that both countries would send troops to intervene. ”

Gao Fei nodded and said, "It makes sense, it's just that the current battle situation may not be as anxious as the girl said." ”

Qin Yu said quietly: "It's not me, I'm just a messenger, this is my father's judgment, my father bluntly said that Diyun City still has 40,000 garrisons directly under the Zhu family, these people are led by Zhu Long, the eldest son of the Zhu family, all the year round, and they are located in the west to fight, and their combat power is not inferior to the Zhennan Army, in addition, the Zhu family can also mobilize the 10,000 yellow-robed forbidden troops in the royal city." The king wants to attack the city, but he is afraid that he will not be able to win easily in a short time. ”

"Hmm. Gao Fei nodded, but did not continue the topic, and suddenly asked Qin Yu: "If Master Qin wants to leave the royal capital, where are you going?"

Qin Yu's expression was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Gao Fei to suddenly ask this, but he still replied: "Since moving the capital five years ago, my father has not returned to his homeland, so he should move back to live this time." ”

"The teacher wants to go back to Lingqiu City?" Gao Yuan's face was happy.

"Maybe," Qin Yu nodded, and said, "Maybe you don't enter the city, and you will live in seclusion in Lingqiu Mountain." ”

"When are you leaving?"

"I'll leave tomorrow, my father sent me this time, mainly to bring you a message, in addition, I also came here to have a look first, so as to choose a suitable new home. After Qin Yu finished speaking, he stood up and saluted again: "I have already brought the words, I hope that the king and His Royal Highness will think twice, if the two of you have no other instructions, I will go back to Diyun City first." ”

After sending Qin Yu away, Gao Yuan returned to the study, looked at Gao Fei and seemed to be still pondering, and asked, "I just asked why you suddenly changed your mind to marry Princess Qingqiu, and you haven't answered me yet, what are you hiding from me?"

Gao Fei glanced up at him and said with a dumb smile: "I still remember." ”

"Of course, one thing comes one thing at a time. If you have something to hide from me, I'm still a little worried. ”

Goofy said, "Okay, I'll admit it's something, but to tell you, you don't understand. ”

Gao Yuan pursed his lips disappreciatively, "Let's talk about it." ”

Gao Fei had no choice but to say: "I like a girl and I don't want to marry someone else." ”

Gao Yuan didn't seem surprised, as if he had already guessed a few points, "But you finally agreed to the peace of Qingqiu Kingdom." ”

Seeing that Gao Fei didn't answer, Gao Yuan hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, you are the king, and if you have a queen, you can marry a concubine again." After speaking, he suddenly smiled evilly: "Can you reveal which girl is the girl who actually stole the heart of the famous young genius of our Southern Chu Kingdom so quietly?"

Goofy gave him an angry look, "I won't tell you." I said it a long time ago, you don't understand. ”

Gao Yuan laughed a few times, and said embarrassedly: "It's not that I don't understand it completely, in fact, when I was young, I always loved to run to the teacher's house, and there were other reasons......"

Gao Fei was surprised, "It turns out that you ...... Miss Qin" But he thought about it for a while, and slowly shook his head, "No, look at the way you looked just now, it doesn't look like you are interested in her......"

Gao Yuan explained: "When I was a child, the teacher liked me, often praised me in front of her, she looked at me at the time, I can't say, to say that worship seems to me to be too narcissistic, to say that admiration is not to that point, in short, the girl's eyes can speak, but it is difficult to interpret, I like her eyes, come back for a few days and nights can not forget, I always run to the teacher's house, in addition to sincere study, in fact, also to see her a few more times." ”

"And then?"

"Later, wasn't I sent to join the army, after a long time, the feeling faded, and I forgot, and now when I see her again, I don't have that throbbing feeling in my heart. ”

Gao Fei said "um", but said, "Having said so much, you still don't understand." ”

Gao Yuan was not convinced, "Why do you say I don't understand?"

Gao Fei hit the nail on the head and said: "You just like the way people look at you, not like people, to put it bluntly, you are just vain." If someone else sees you the way they see you, you think about that person the same way. ”

Gao Yuan still wanted to argue, but he couldn't think of a strong reason to refute it for a while, but when he saw Gao Fei looking out of the window with a lonely expression, Qi Qiran said: "I really like someone, the longer I separate, the more I can't forget it." ”

Gao Yuan said suddenly: "I seem to understand a little. ”

But Gao Fei shook his head: "People who haven't experienced it, it's really hard to understand, fourth brother, you don't have to worry about this matter, since you agreed to Qingqiu Kingdom's request for peace, I naturally won't go back on my word." ”

"Then Yu'er said, let's withdraw from the army?" Gao Yuan asked again.

Gao Fei didn't answer him directly, but asked instead, "Do you think she could be a lobbyist sent by the Zhu family?"

"Huh?" Gao Yuan didn't expect Gao Fei to ask such a question, he almost blurted out: "How is this possible, Yu'er can't help the Zhu family!"

"What if Zhu Ning coerced his family?" Gao Fei asked.

Gao Yuan pondered for a while, and replied: "That's impossible, because ......" He suddenly understood something, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that the third brother, you just asked Mr. Qin to move because of this!"

Gao Fei nodded, and said thoughtfully: "If they are going to move here soon, it means that they are not controlled by the Zhu family, speaking of which, Mr. Qin's worries are not unreasonable, let us withdraw our troops is to guard against the intervention of powerful neighbors." ”

"Then what should I do, third brother, you don't really want to withdraw from the army, do you?"

"But, isn't the intervention of the Qingqiu Kingdom already here?" Gao Fei asked rhetorically.

Seeing Gao Yuan bowing his head and pondering, Gao Fei continued to explain: "Mr. Qin thinks that they will definitely send troops to intervene by force, but judging from Qingqiu's current actions, they can also achieve their goals by making peace with them, but their goals, that is, their conditions, are not in a hurry to tell us." ”

"Then we're going to send troops to attack the city?"

Gao Fei was silent, in fact, he had made up his mind as early as last night, no matter what, he wanted to win this war as soon as possible, he really didn't want to be at the mercy of fate like this, only by attacking Diyun City as soon as possible, could he avenge his father and brother, rescue his sister, and clear his grievances. Only then can he find Qianyuan without any worries, be with the people he loves, and show his ambitions and reinvigorate the status of the former southern overlord of the Southern Chu State. He stood up, patted Gao Yuan's shoulder, and said softly, "Get ready, we'll send troops tonight." ”

It was a full moon again, there were no clouds in the sky, and the full moon like a white jade plate sprinkled the brilliant silver light wantonly on the world, and in this moonlit, quiet and peaceful night, it seemed that everything seemed as complete as the moon.

On such a night, it seemed that even the sound of the wind could not bear to destroy this rare silence, but a "squeak" sound pierced this tranquility, causing the north gate of Qiu City to slowly open, and teams of soldiers walked out.

The procession was long, and after a long time, the last group came out of the gate, and the moment the gate was closed, the long procession immediately quickened its pace, and although it was fast, the sound of footsteps was very small. In this way, an army of tens of thousands of people quietly and quickly left the former royal capital Lingqiu City and marched towards the new royal capital in the north.

Only 5,000 men and horses were left in the city to guard, and all the rest of the Zhennan Army troops followed Gao Fei and Gao Yuan to embark on the journey of this final decisive battle.
