After finishing speaking, Lin Xuanxiang slowly closed her eyes. Tang Qingmei wept silently.

Li Liangfu saw that Yan Yulu's army had arrived, and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, the current situation is not suitable for another battle, so you can only retreat first." ”

Tang Qingmei nodded silently.

Li Liangfu ordered to cross the river and retreat, and Tang Qingmei helped Lin Xuanxiang, who had closed her eyes, onto the horse, but seeing the water level of Yeyu Water skyrocketing, Tang Qingmei understood Lin Xuanxiang's previous worries.

Tang Qingmei said: "In ancient times, Yun Chang flooded the Seventh Army, why didn't I think that Yan Lou's room could also intercept the water in the upper reaches of the river first, and then break the embankment?"

Wanyan Lou Room and Wanyan Hulu led the army to pursue the Xia army to Yegu, and the Xia army suffered heavy casualties.

Xuanxiang does not compete for fame and fortune,

Chunchun chivalrous style is like a jade flute.

How many things have happened in ancient times,

A drop of winter rain catches the clear stream.

The news of the defeat of Tang Qingmei and Li Liangfu reached Xingqing Mansion, the summer capital. Li Qianshun never reported to the queen, worried that his condition would worsen.

Half a month later, when Tang Qingmei and Li Liangfu returned to Xingqing Mansion with the remnants, Zhen Yue and Yang Linhao were already waiting outside the north gate of Xingqing Mansion.

Tang Qingmei dismounted tiredly, and Zhen Yue gently supported Tang Qingmei's arms with both hands.

Zhen Yue said: "Qingmei, don't blame yourself, the Liao Kingdom is like a dying tree, how can you let it recover." You have done your best in this trip, and the queen Chitose must be pleased. ”

Zhen Yue never looked at Lin Xuanxiang and said, "Has Senior Sister Lin returned to Qinglu Palace first?"

Tang Qingmei's tears couldn't help but overflow her eyes, and Zhen Yue knew what she meant.

Zhen Yue said: "Suddenly, I lost another friend, how can I be relieved." ”

Tang Qingmei said: "Uncle Lin died for me, and I am full of remorse and guilt, and I can't compensate for it in this life." ”

Tang Qingmei told the scene of the battle with the Jin army on the bank of the Yeyu water.

Zhen Yue said: "Senior Sister Lin, the fragrance is light and elegant, there is no dispute with the world, if the warriors in the world are so tranquil, how can there be bloody wind and rain in the martial arts." ”

Tang Qingmei said: "Qingmei has a worry, I don't know if I should talk about it." ”

Zhen Yue said: "What can't Qingmei and I say?"

Tang Qingmei said: "The rout of this aid to Liao can see the mighty combat power of the Jin army. Wanyan Lou Room is brave and wise, but it is rumored that Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, and Wanyan Zongbi are even above Wanyan Lou Room, and they are only afraid that after the Jin State destroys Liao, they will invade the Song Dynasty in the south. ”

Zhen Yue said worriedly: "I don't say anything about the traitors such as Cai Jing and Tong Guan of the Great Song Dynasty for the time being, even if they are loyal and good generals such as Zhang Shuye and Li Gang, they are not the opponents of the Wanyan family's generals. In the future, I can only hope for Yue Fei, but unfortunately, Pengju is still young. ”

Tang Qingmei said: "The south is fertile for thousands of miles, and the north has always coveted it. The Liao State only took the sixteen states of Yanyun in the Southern Dynasty, and if the Jin State invaded the south, I am afraid that the Southern Dynasty would lose half of the country. ”

Zhen Yue understood Tang Qingmei's meaning. Zhen Yue said: "Wanyan Zonghan is really my treatment, if Wanyan Zongwang has never met me, presumably Wanyan Zonghan has already returned to the west." If the Jin army invades the south, how can our Great Song Dynasty resist the majesty of the Jin army? If Yan Zonghan's soldiers come to Kaifeng City on the other day, what face will I have to face the thousands of people of the Great Song Dynasty?"

In the cold winter, Zhen Yue couldn't help but tremble, and this matter has been a great worry in Zhen Yue's heart since then.

Tang Qingmei had no intention of returning to the palace, so she and Zhen Yue continued to walk slowly on the streets.

Zhen Yue said: "Qingmei, now that the move to aid Liao has failed, what are your plans now?"

Tang Qingmei said: "Since I have returned to the Xia Kingdom, I must abide by the three promises I made with my father, I have no intention of returning to Qinglu Palace, it is better to eat fast and recite Buddha for my mother." ”

Zhen Yue said: "After three years, the situation in the world may change greatly. ”

Tang Qingmei said: "But no matter what the world and martial arts will look like, my heart will always be with Zhen Yixian and Mrs. Yang." ”

Zhen Yue said: "Qingmei, you and I have known each other for ten years. Lately, I've noticed that you've grown a lot. ”

Tang Qingmei smiled lightly: "Become brave to have your own ideas, become brave to break free from the cage of fate?"

Zhen Yue smiled silently.

Zhen Yue said: "I didn't realize that it had been more than four months since I came to Xia Country this time, and it was time to say goodbye and leave. ”

Tang Qingmei said: "It's better to visit my father before leaving." ”

Zhen Yue generally understood Tang Qingmei's meaning, and walked into the palace with Tang Qingmei. In the Imperial Garden, the snow is beautiful. Zhen Yue and Tang Qingmei met Li Qianshun.

Zhen Yue knelt down and said, "See the saint." ”

Li Qianshun said: "Zhen Yixian, please get up quickly." ”

Zhen Yue said: "It has been four months since the grass people came to Great Xia, and today they are here to bid farewell to the emperor. ”

Li Qianshun said: "There is a banquet in the world, but the rivers and lakes are stormy, why doesn't Zhen Yixian find a quiet place to spend his life comfortably?"

Zhen Yue said: "Dare to ask the emperor where is a quiet place?"

Li Qianshun said: "If Zhen Yixian is interested, I would like to seal you as a senior hospital for the Tai Hospital, and the official level is the fifth grade." ”

Zhen Yue said: "Thank you for the emperor's favor." The grass people have never thought of entering the official career, nor do they have the talent to become a professional. ”

Li Qianshun said: "Okay, come here." ”

The eunuch said, "The villain is here." ”

Li Qianshun said: "Give Zhen Yixian the gold medal for avoiding death and the palace golden order." ”

The eunuch said, "Obey." ”

Zhen Yue took the gold medal for avoiding death and the palace golden order, and knelt down and said, "The grass people thank the emperor for his grace." ”

Tang Qingmei said: "With the palace golden order, Zhen Yixian will be able to enter and leave the Great Xia Palace freely in the future. My father had never given the palace decree to anyone from another country before, and even if it was the ministers of the Xia Kingdom, only a very few people such as the King of Jin and the family teacher were given it. ”

Li Qianshun said: "There is really no cure for the queen's illness?"

Zhen Yue said: "Queen Chitose is a heart disease, and it is difficult to heal with medicinal stones, and Queen Chitose's condition is closely related to the national situation of Liao. The snow begonias in the Western Regions of Qinglu Palace can delay the speed of the queen's emaciation, but it can't eliminate the queen's knot. ”

Li Qianshun said: "Since April, there have been many troubles from Lao Zhen Medical Immortals. In the future, if necessary, I hope that Zhen Yixian will work hard and come to Daxia to rejuvenate again. ”

Zhen Yue said: "The grass people obey the order. ”

Li Qianshun said: "Qingmei, before Zhen Yixian leaves, Haosheng accompanies Zhen Yixian. ”

Tang Qingmei said: "The son of the minister is in charge." ”

Zhen Yue, Yang Linhao and Tang Qingmei walked out of the palace.

Tang Qingmei said: "Zhen Yixian, where do you want to go now?"

Zhen Yue said: "It's the end of winter, I want to return to Dali first, and then return to Tianzhu Mountain when the spring flowers bloom." ”

Tang Qingmei said: "I don't know what Mrs. Yang's condition is now. ”

Zhen Yue said: "If Lianyu is according to my previous words of meditation and healing, she should be able to heal by the time of summer and autumn." ”

Tang Qingmei took Yang Linhao's hand and said, "When you return to Tianzhu Mountain in spring, Linhao can accompany you?"

Zhen Yue said: "Lin Hao should not live away for a long time, it's time to return to the Ethereal Guan Haosheng to learn martial arts." ”

Tang Qingmei ordered the palace guards to prepare a carriage and coil for Zhen Yue. After Zhen Yue boarded the car, she didn't look back, Zhen Yue knew that the more she looked back, the more reluctant Tang Qingmei became. Tang Qingmei stood outside the south gate of Xingqing Mansion, looking at Zhen Yue and Yang Linhao's carriage, and gradually disappeared at the end of her eyes.
