Chapter 82: Sending the Letter
The enemy soldiers are approaching the city, the Central Plains is a tense atmosphere, a red-clothed cannon is elevated above the city tower, the sound of artillery fire, as if the time has been scared away, everything seems to be flying, time in the blink of an eye, two months of days flew away, now counting, it has been more than two months since the last battle of the demons.....
Little by little..... That round of red sun seems to be tired, the sun is not so dazzling, and a trace of autumn is gradually coming....
Compared with the palace, the huge martial arts are also quiet, although more than two months have passed since the miserable battle between the righteous and the demon, the dark shadow has not been completely eliminated from the bottom of everyone's hearts....

After two months of cultivation, Ye Zihan and his teacher Mo Feng's injuries have healed, and as for Dao Qi, his injuries have long been healed, but now he is working hard every day, busy with the affairs of the door....
Mo Feng and Dao Qi have not seen each other for more than ten years, naturally there are many things to say, Mo Feng is naturally happy, the friendship between the two is the same as back then, but bit by bit, Mo Feng gradually does not like this kind of disciplined life, he likes that kind of unrestrained life, he wants to wander the world with Ye Zihan's master and apprentice, looking for the whereabouts of Xingcang, but Dao Qi has a heavy responsibility and can't leave with them, but Dao Qi doesn't want them to leave, so he sent several groups of disciples to find Xingcang's whereabouts, but each batch is empty-handed, for Xingcang's whereabouts, there has been no news, Dao Qi is also very distressed, how can he not find Xingcang's whereabouts, Mo Feng also feels strangeYe Zihan was also puzzled by this, I don't know why, Dao Qi told them to let them live in peace, it is impossible for a person to disappear out of thin air, but now there is no clue at all, and there is no trace of him in several batches of disciples, not to mention that Ye Zihan and they only have two people, so Dao Qi asked them to stay for the time being, and on the other hand, Dao Qi will send a large number of disciples to look for it.
Of course, Dao Qi also knew the news that the Heavenly Cult was closed, otherwise he would not have sent more than half of its disciples out and disregarded the safety of the World Extreme Sect.
....
"Brother Zihan, can you play with me?" Ye Zihan's side, the little fool pulled Ye Zihan's arm, and said weakly with expectant eyes.
"Silly," Mo Feng waved his hand, motioning for Silly to come to him.
"Grandpa...."The little fool happily ran into Mo Feng's arms.
Mo Feng stroked Xiao Silly's little head, smiled and said, "Little Silly, what do you want to play with Brother Zihan?"
"I want Brother Zihan to take me to my sister to play. ”
Looking for my sister...... One sentence instantly disturbed Ye Zihan's heart, Ye Zihan slowly raised his head, looked at Xiao Shi's innocent, eager little face, I don't know how to say to him, could it be that my sister is gone and will never come back? Or is it that my sister is lost? This kind of thing even Xiao Silly will not believe when he hears it, and will even make a fuss to find his sister, Ye Zihan was silent, Mo Feng glanced at Ye Zihan, for Mo Feng, who had a young youth, he had more or less read that taste from Ye Zihan's expression.
"Little fool," Mo Feng stroked the little fool's head and said softly, "My sister is home, I'll be back after a while, when my sister comes back, she will bring food for my little fool, and I want to be obedient, wait for my sister to come back, okay, now you will accompany your grandfather to the yard to play, okay?"
"Yes, I'll wait for my sister to come back. Grandpa, let's go play!" the little fool pouted, nodded, and then jumped up and down, pulling Mo Feng to the yard.
Ye Zihan looked at the golden sunlight shining on the two of them, and the shimmering shadows on the ground moved, and he could see that the little fool was very happy and happy......
The capital - the imperial palace!
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is an urgent report from the front line, the enemy has repeatedly broken through our city, and our army has been defeated repeatedly! Now that people have come to the city! What do you say about it?" The more the emperor spoke, the more angry he became, and he grabbed a stack of books and threw them all down.
"Your Majesty is angry!" Wen Hou knelt down one after another, Long Yan was furious, but it was not easy to provoke!
The emperor looked at the "useless" people below, and shook his head helplessly,
"Get up,"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, I came here today just to hear what you can do?
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you should fight them to the end!" A man of about thirty years, wearing armor, stood up and said loudly, looking at it, he should also be a general.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what General Wang said is inappropriate, the enemy has already attacked the city, once the city is breached, it will be bad, for the sake of the future, we can only ..... Sum!Preferably.... "The old minister, dressed in an official uniform, with a white beard and a wrinkled face, stepped forward and said with a worried face.
This made the emperor's eyebrows tighten, and he seemed to be a little angry.
"Prime Minister, just ask for peace, you still let you make peace! Isn't this a loss of the majesty of my Ming Dynasty!" asked the man who was called General Wang.
"Shut up, what do you know?! The prime minister is thinking about the overall situation of the country! You don't just care about that bit of dignity, when the city is broken, it will be too late to keep the country!" The old minister who was called the prime minister stood up behind a civil official in his forties, pointing at General Wang and scolding.
"Father, the sons and daughters also agree with what the prime minister and Lord Zhang said, everything is important to the country's society! Father!" Immediately after, another man in front of the prime minister said, the man was brightly dressed and radiant, not an ordinary person.
"Prince, do you think so too?" the emperor asked.
"Yes!
"What about you, Fifth Five, what do you think?" the emperor looked at another brightly dressed man beside the crown prince.
The man who was called the fifth man stepped forward, clenched his fists and said: "Father, I think I should fight to the death! Our Zhu family has laid down this great country, how can we compromise with others, we should swear to protect my Ming Dynasty to the death!" The fifth man said impassionedly, but no one saw the smug and weird smile in his eyes.
"Old Five, now that the enemy has come to the city, how else can we fight? According to what you said, we can only wait for death!" The prince said angrily to Old Five.
"Prince, what you said is not right, do you want us to lose so much?
"You ....."
"Okay, don't argue!" The emperor stopped their argument, rubbed his eyebrows, waved his hand, and said softly, "Retreat from the court, Rong Zhen think about it." ”
.....
"Li Yongmao, you say, what should I do?" the emperor asked.
Li Yongmao, the governor of the brocade guard standing next to the emperor, said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister only knows that once the city wall is broken, the royal family will not be able to protect it. ”
Li Yongmao's words shocked the emperor's dragon body, raised his head, looked at Li Yongmao, and said sternly: "Why can't my army defeat the two small Fanbang natives?!"
"Your Majesty forgives you for your sins! Ministers should not comment on state affairs at will!" Hearing this, Li Yongmao immediately bent down and said, looking terrified.
"That's it, that's it, alas... I'm sorry for my ancestors and ancestors!" the emperor stretched out his arms and shouted to the sky.
After a while, the emperor calmed down and said slowly: "Go with me to see the princess.....
Li Yongmao looked at the back of the emperor leaving, his eyes flickered, as if he was helpless and unbearable....
........
"Princess, it's not good!" a plain-dressed palace maid hurriedly ran to the princess's side, panting and worried.
"What's going on?!" Seeing that her personal maid was in a hurry, there must be something serious, the princess frowned and hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong with the front line?!"
"Yes, no! Yes, oh, princess, I heard them say that the front line was defeated, and the emperor asked the ministers to find a way to deal with it, and the prime minister said that he wanted to make peace!"
Lost the battle?!So to speak.... "And the ..... of the princess" Zhu Jingning, who was a princess, couldn't help but panic after losing the battle, but when she thought that as the only princess of the royal family, the heavy responsibility of the princess must be handed over to her, Zhu Jingning didn't know what to do for a while.
"Princess, princess?" called the palace maid softly.
"It's fine. Zhu Jingning said, but the eyes were still godless.
....
Not long after, the emperor came to the princess's bedroom, still with a happy look, "Jing Ning...."
"Father. Zhu Jingning replied softly, obviously not very interested, "Brother Li, you are here too." ”
"Yes, see Her Royal Highness the Princess," Li Yongmao said respectfully.
"Jing Ning, what's wrong with you, you're not very happy?!" The emperor asked with concern.
"Father, do you want to kiss?" Zhu Jingning suddenly asked.
The princess's words made the emperor stunned for a moment, his whole body stiffened, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Go down, all of you. ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
.......
Li Yongmao glanced at Zhu Jingning, and then retreated.
In the palace, only the princess and the emperor are left.
"Jing Ning, your queen mother died early, I promised your mother to take care of you for a lifetime, so that you can live happily and happily for the rest of your life, and the emperor will not let his daughter be used as a bargaining chip!" The emperor looked at the princess and said softly, that father's love is boundless, and that kind of father-daughter affection is indestructible.
"Father!" Zhu Jingning tears rolled in his eyes, and he suddenly fell into the emperor's arms, hugged the emperor tightly, and cried with his head buried in his head.
"Okay, don't cry, like a little cat," the emperor lifted Zhu Jingning's head, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at Zhu Jingning with tears on his face, and smiled softly, only he knew that he was forcing a smile, but what could he do, he didn't want Zhu Jingning to worry, and he didn't want to live up to her mother's entrustment, "Okay, don't cry, my father's little princess is not beautiful." ”
"Father, what are you going to do? I heard that the enemy is already in the city. Zhu Jingning asked.
"You don't have to worry, I have my own decision, you can rest well, my father will leave first. With that, the emperor got up and left.
"Father, the emperor ....." Zhu Jingning had to look at the emperor's back and drift away.
.....
The emperor told Zhu Jingning not to worry, but how could Zhu Jingning not be worried, the country was in danger, his father was worried, how could Zhu Jingning not see it, at the moment of life and death, as the princess of this country, as the daughter of the father, how could he not do his part for the country, Zhu Jingning's heart was like being hung on the tower of the city, looking at the mountains and rivers changeable....
Zhu Jingning didn't sleep all night, thought about it all night, thought about it all night. The next morning, with a haggard face and bloated eyes, he picked up the pen, spread out a piece of paper, and slowly wrote a letter, the hand holding the pen was tight and strong, a pair of eyes were dull and colorless, and a sad breath permeated it.
After a while, Zhu Jingning looked at the words on this piece of paper, his eyes became more and more determined, it was a kind of ............ The look of death.
"Someone. ”
"Yes, what does the princess command?"
"Go and invite Brother Li. ”
"Yes, Princess. ”
.....
Not long after, Li Yongmao came.
"See Her Royal Highness the Princess. Li Yongmao said.
"Brother Li, you're here. Zhu Jingning smiled and went to the door of the hall to greet him.
"Princess, what do you have to call the lowly officer?" asked Li Yongmao.
"Brother Li, I want you to do something for me. ”
"The minister will never give up, princess, please command!"
"Brother Li, you go out of the palace and give this letter to Ye Zihan. Zhu Jingning said, took out the envelope that had already been packed, and handed it to Li Yongmao.
It reads: Ye Zihan personally opened.
Li Yongmao looked at the envelope, then at Zhu Jingning, and had already guessed what Zhu Jingning thought, but he looked a little embarrassed, Li Yongmao never wanted the princess to have too many entanglements with those rivers and lakes.
"What's the matter, Brother Li, is there any problem?"
"No, princess, why did you write a letter to Ye Zihan?"
"Nothing? I'm just.... Brother Li, please do me this favor, please. ”
Looking at Zhu Jingning's haggard and sad appearance, Li Yongmao knew that the princess was for the safety of the country, for the emperor's share, and for the sake of fulfilling her duties as a princess............ Looking at Zhu Jingning's eyes, a trace of unbearability and heartache flashed in Li Yongmao's eyes, the little girl who had been following her since she was a child was carefree all day long, but she didn't expect it to be so bleak one day, looking at the godless eyes, Li Yongmao finally nodded, "Okay." ”
"Brother Li, thank you. Zhu Jingning smiled slightly......
