Chapter Twenty-Three: All the Way North
In the thatched hut, Han Zhongzheng was meticulously helping Yu Wenyan deal with his wounds. looked at Yu Wenxian, whose face was as usual, and he didn't even frown a little. Han Zhong admired and blamed himself.
After sneaking out of the city from Anximen in the north, Han Zhong immediately rushed to the agreed meeting place. The guys who went out of the city arrived one after another, but they never saw Yuwen Yan. Han Zhong's heart gradually became anxious. Just as he was about to go to meet him, the three of them rode in front of them on two tall horses.
Before Han Zhong could breathe a sigh of relief, the wound on Yu Wenxi's shoulder immediately made him nervous again.
Looking at the inhuman-shaped corpse that fell on the horse's back, Han Zhong ignored it. led everyone back to their remote and inaccessible home.
After bandaging, Yu Wenxian put on his clothes with difficulty, and he himself was a little unimpressed by this serious injury. For some reason, a slight coolness in the chest spread to the wound from time to time, and the shocking opening had stopped the bleeding in such a short time. Although it is a little difficult to move the arm, it doesn't seem to have any effect on Yu Wenxian, who has no feelings.
Han Zhong on the side wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yu Wenyan. He patted Han Zhong on the shoulder, pushed open the door and walked out.
As the breeze swept by, a weak body hugged Yuwen Yan tightly. Ling'er, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, kept falling tears, and muttered in her mouth: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
"Little brother, are you alright? The dirt-covered Iron Ox also came over at this time.
"Well, it's not a big deal. Yu Wenxian replied with a smile.
"You just made such a mess. Tie Niu recalled the scene just now and couldn't help but sigh.
"Isn't it okay to come back? Yuwen replied bluntly.
After listening to this, Ling'er suddenly became a little angry. Raised his hand and pulled Yu Wenxi's face hard and said, "How dangerous, you have a really big heart." ”
Yu Wenxi's face was pulled into a cake-shaped, but he didn't realize it at all, and said with a stiff mouth: "It's okay for everyone." By the way, has the big boss settled down? ”
Ling'er's eyes darkened, and she let go of Yu Wenyan's face. The iron bull on the side wiped the sweat from his head, nodded and said, "Well, it's already in the ground......
......
After the sun set behind an old pine tree on the hillside, everyone looked at Lu Junyi's grave in front of them with tears in their eyes. Ling'er didn't shed tears, her grief had dried up during this time.
Ling'er retracted her gaze, turned her head to look at Yuwen Yan and asked, "We're going to Jiangling, are you going to join us?" ”
Yuwen Yan shook his head and said, "I'm going north, I'm going to see someone." ”
After listening to Yu Wenyan's words, Ling'er suddenly felt empty in her heart, as if something was missing. has encountered such a catastrophe recently, but fortunately, there is still this young man in front of him to help him. Through this period of getting along, it is inevitable that she has a sense of dependence. I didn't expect to be separated again so soon, and I don't know if I will have a chance to see him again.
Ling'er pretended to be strong and smiled: "Well, then you take care." ”
Yu Wenyan felt Ling'er's loneliness, he stretched out his hand and handed a token to Ling'er's hand: "The big boss will definitely be proud of you, cherish." After speaking, he nodded with everyone, and then took Han Zhong and Han Tiexin, the old and the young, and left with their bags.
Ling'er gently put the token on her face, feeling the warmth that came. Ling'er smiled happily and watched the group of three people drift away......

In the Turkic territory, the princess is holding a brush and writing something on rice paper. As a princess of the former dynasty, she is still a happy one. Shabalu Khan was very fond of this delicate and beautiful little wife.
She has gradually become accustomed to life outside the Seychelles, but she still insists on practicing calligraphy every day.
Just when her mood was mellow and she was about to put away the pen. The little maid she married ran in in a panic.
The little maid was anxious but did not dare to disturb the princess, and knelt on the ground like an ant on a hot pot, wiping her sweat.
The princess raised her eyes and glanced at her, and said gently, "What's wrong Mingzhu, you can say it." ”
When Mingzhu heard this, he hurriedly said: "The master has an accident, and he just received a request for help from his family, and Yang insists on being the emperor." King Zhao failed to rebel and was connected to the nine clans. ”
The princess flicked her wrist and gently lowered the brush. He asked calmly, "How is my father now?" ”
Yuhuan gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said, "King Zhao, you are already in a different place. ”
The delicate body of the princess was soft, and she stretched out her hand to support the edge of the table so that she did not fall, and she said unusually calmly: "The news has been sent to me thousands of miles away, at least for more than half a month." Even if I ask the king to send someone back, it won't change anything. ”
With that, she slowly picked up the brush and dipped it lightly in ink. Finish the last stroke.
looked at the word "forbearance" in front of him that became murderous because of the last stroke. The princess suddenly looked fierce, and said with a distorted face: "The revenge of the extermination of the clan vows to be repaid." After speaking, he moved his jade finger lightly and tore the rice paper to shreds......

In the Hanyuan Palace, Yang Jian looked at the envoy who had returned from the Turks with a gloomy face. He lowered his voice and said in an extremely majestic voice: "Say what you just relayed to me, and say it again in front of Zhong Aiqing." ”
"That, Sha Bo Luo Khan said: 'I was originally a relative of the Northern Zhou family, and now that Yang Jian has destroyed the Northern Zhou Dynasty and become the emperor himself, if I stand by and watch, won't I be too incompetent? " The envoy relayed tremblingly.
There was an instant uproar in the hall, Yang Jian supported his cheek with one hand, and looked at the chaotic courtiers without saying a word.
After a while, the crowd fell silent. Yang Jian's gaze swept over everyone, and finally fell on Yang Da.
In order to prepare for the annihilation of Nan Chen, a group of Yang Jian's henchmen were sent to the front line to prepare for the war. Now only Yang Da is left alone, and Yang Jian is still left to give advice.
Feeling Yang Jian's gaze, Yang Da had no choice but to stubbornly come out of the crowd, knelt down and said: "The Sui Dynasty is newly established, and the minister thinks that Sha Boluo Khan wants to take advantage of the opportunity to enter by chance. In order to prepare for the battle to destroy Chen, we mobilized a large number of troops and horses to the south. At this time, it is the time when the rear air defense is weak, and the situation is precarious. ”
Yang Jian changed his hand to support his cheeks, and said gloomily: "What is Aiqing's opinion?"
Yang Da thought for a while and said loudly: "The minister thinks that the Turks are compared to Nan Chen. The former is more dangerous, and the other party is like a hungry wolf, coveting us for a long time. If our country is just starting to stand, if we can't give a tough counterattack at this time, the other side will only intensify it. So I'm fighting. ”
Yang Jian nodded lightly and continued to ask, "Is there a good plan?"
Yang Da's heart moved, and he said confidently: "Because of the current situation. The original strategy of 'destroying Chen' needs to be changed, and the matter of destroying Chen needs to be slowed down. Repatriate all the generals and mobilize troops and horses to the north. Be prepared for war. In addition, I would like to recommend one person. ”
After receiving Yang Jian's signal, the eunuch on the side immediately preached loudly: "Spread the word that Sun Sheng has entered the palace." ”
After half a burnt incense, the stubble-faced eldest grandson Sheng hurriedly came to the hall, feeling the oppressive atmosphere in the hall, and after saluting, he knelt beside Yang Da and didn't say much.
Yang Jian examined Changsun Sheng with sharp eyes, and didn't seem to find anything extraordinary. Slightly disappointed, he asked Yang Da: "What is so special about this son?" ”
Yang Da pondered for a moment and replied: "The princess of Qianjin married in the north, and I recommended him to be the deputy envoy to escort the princess to the Turks. After completing the mission, Shabalu Khan felt like he was on eBay and was reluctant to let him go. Personally ordered it to be left behind. After that, he lived in the Turks for almost a year, and only recently returned to Chang'an. ”
Hearing this, Yang Jian's eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "Why are such talents only recommended to me now?" The two of you will go to the imperial study with me to talk in detail and retreat from the court!"
Before Changsun Sheng, who had not said a word, came back to his senses, he was pulled up by Yang Da and kept up with Yang Jian......
