The ninth encounter
At night, I sat in the room rubbing my sore legs and caught a glimpse of the jade flute on the table, and my heart ached again. I dare not imagine Sister Ziyin's news. Her long-awaited husband can no longer smile at her like a spring breeze in April and can no longer tell her affection softly. How can she accept this cold fact? The erratic court still has her foothold. I closed my eyes and smiled bitterly. I don't know why life is always so changeable. I remember my father Long Tai once said that life is not satisfactory, and I often want to think about it. My one or two, maybe only my brother Tong Che, with a smile and smile, shaking their energetic faces in front of them. Thinking of them, I feel much more at ease. Unable to bear the fatigue of the body, he finally changed his clothes and fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, I accidentally found Che lying beside me. One of his arms wrapped around my waist, and his sleeping face was as peaceful as a child. I narrowed my eyes and looked at him for a moment and smiled in a low voice. As the saying goes: marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog. What's more, I married a potential prince. Why bother to think about these many troubles? When the sky falls, the husband and wife hold on together, they will never be smashed to death.
"Why are you so happy when you wake up early in the morning?" Che still closed his eyes, smiled at the corners of his mouth, tightened my arm, and asked lazily.
"I thought I was going home, so I'm happy."
"Oh?" Che opened his dark eyes and looked at me with interest, "How did the princess know she was going home? I haven't agreed to Nangong Li's peace.
"You will agree."
"Are you so sure?" He raised his eyebrows and smiled lazily.
"The life is ruined, and the people can't make a living. That's all the war can bring. Whether it is Nanyuan or Linsheng, the people are the same. Although the overlord has a hegemony to achieve, you are not the king who wins on the people's white bones. Your world does not need the blood of innocent people.
After saying that, Che just looked at me with a smile, but didn't say anything. I was panicked when he looked at me, and there was still an expression of nothingness on my face. After holding back for a long time, I couldn't pretend, so I had to admit defeat. After a pause, he said to Che in a muffled voice, "If you are willing to take back to Yanyun, I will tell you a shocking secret."
Che finally couldn't help laughing, "Does the princess have a shocking secret? This is rare. It seems that I have to stop the army this time, but it's really a pity.
"What's a pity?" Looking at Che's regretful expression, I couldn't help asking him curiously.
Che thought hard and slowly exhaled, saying, "Unfortunately, I can't find the golden dragon well tea tree in Linsheng, but Princess Che is tight. I wanted to capture Sui County so that the princess could enjoy her life comfortably, but the princess didn't appreciate it and shouted back to Yanyun. What can I do? I have to collect the troops. After saying that, he sighed deeply, as if he had really lost some treasure.
I gently pushed Che and said angrily, "I don't want to be Su Daji, who harms the country and the people. Don't randomly put the purpose of starting the war on me. The prince himself thought clearly about the collection of troops. Why bother to use this matter to make me happy?
"If I really have this plan, can you believe it?" The smile is still the same, and people can't tell whether it's true or false.
"You are not such a ridiculous person."
"It doesn't matter if it's ridiculous for you once." Che's expression is full of a big faint king. Although he is not a "jun" yet, he has done enough.
I curled my lips, looked aggrieved, and said, "I told you not to turn me into a demon concubine who harms the country and the people. Why did you push me into the fire pit? Prince Che is so cruel."
Che looked at me and smiled dotingly. As soon as he opened his mouth to say something, he heard someone knocking on the door and whispered, "Your Majesty, the generals are already waiting in the council chamber."
"I know." Che said in a low voice, and his hand left my waist and sat up from **. I got up with a smile and helped Che change my clothes. When I watched him push the door away with a bright face, I lay back to ** and prepare to sleep back to sleep.
With what I said just now, I am sure that this battle will not continue. Li and his brother can escort Brother Xian home.
I don't know how the same generals explained the reasons for retreating. In short, the result that Mingjian told me was that all the generals readily agreed and no one objected. I didn't ask Che how he did it again. My purpose is just to retire. As for the process, it doesn't make sense to me. So three days later, I was already leisurely in a carriage on the way back to Yanyun.
Before leaving, I begged Che to let me go first. Firstly, I want to see more of the customs of Linsheng Kingdom, and secondly, I really have difficulties and can't sleep out with the army and live in the camp every day. I need a good environment that doesn't make my body too hard. Che couldn't help bombing with my three-inch tongue, and finally agreed to my request. However, the condition is that Ming Xiao and Ming Jian are close guards, and another 100 Xuanyi guards are around. As soon as I heard it, my head became big. I thought that if I took 100 people out, it would be too exaggerated. In the end, it would be reduced to ten people.
Walking and stopping along the way, I took more than a dozen people to eat, drink and have fun, and live well. Later, I spent a lot of money and scolded myself for being extravagant. I was also glad that the silver tickets Che brought me were enough, otherwise we would have to beg along the street before we arrived in Yanyun. The scenery of Linsheng is indeed not inferior to the great motherland I came to. The carriages travel through the forests, the green trees cover the dazzling sunlight, the warm breath at the end of summer strokes the cheeks, the warblers sing and dance in the forest, and the birds and flowers are fragrant.
One day, our group walked to a valley with beautiful scenery. I ordered Ming Xiao to stop the carriage and everyone to rest in place.
"Do you want to eat some game?" I asked the Xuanyi guards sitting on the grass with a smile.
"In this green water, I think about it." Ming Xiao said slowly, which made others happy. I smiled. They followed me all the way and knew each other a lot. Knowing that I was not a rigid master, they were much closer to me.
"In this case, why don't you take your brothers to hunt some pheasants and rabbits? I'll cook spicy rabbit meat and braised pheasants for you, okay?" I turned my eyes and looked at Ming Xiao with a thief.
"I'll do it now." Ming Xiao looked serious, waved his hand, and took five Xuanyi guards to hunt. Looking at Mingxiao's movements, I couldn't help laughing, touched the Mingjian on my side and said, "I didn't expect this piece of wood to be so enlightened, haha."
Ming Jian listened to my words, looked at Ming Xiao's distant back, and a gratifying smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
"Jingjian, do you remember how to identify mushrooms?"
"Remember."
I smiled and said, "Then help me pick some mushrooms."
"But..."
"Don't do that. I'm very safe. Just go and come back quickly."
"Yes." Mingjian hesitated for a moment, and then turned around and left quickly.
After Mingjian left, I took the rest of the people to help me set up the pot, prepare the seasonings, and waited for Ming Xiao and Ming Jian to bring back the ingredients.
I sat on the ground and chatted with everyone. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the breeze is blowing gently, and such a comfortable feeling makes me feel extremely comfortable.
As I was talking and laughing, I suddenly felt a few strong winds passing behind me, and the faces of the five Xuanyi guards changed color. I took a look and saw that the six of us had been surrounded by more than ten people in black. I sighed unlucky in my heart, and suddenly felt that the scene was very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, I remembered Tong Che's experience of being in danger in Tianbo Valley.
I pressed my temple and felt that I should say something. I was thinking hard, but the man in black didn't say a word, and he pulled his knife and started to do it. I was shocked to see that these people are professional killers. Seeing this, the Xuanyi guards were not in chaos in the face of danger. Standing back to back, five people formed a small circle to protect me in it, and their men drew their swords neatly to meet the big knife cut down.
I stood in the circle and watched Xuanyiwei fighting with the man in black, and I couldn't help sweating in my hand. Even though I, a layman of martial arts, can also see that the people in black are not weak, and each of them can be said to be comparable to the five people around me. We are at a disadvantage, and under a round of impenetrable offensives by the men in black, they seem to be weaker. In my eyes, I was secretly anxious, hoping that Ming Xiao Mingjian would come back soon.
No matter how long I stretch my neck, I can't see them. And here, all five of them have lost their color to varying degrees, and gradually they are a little weak. Hearing the sound of "bu", a Xuanyi guard beside me fell down, and his clothes were quickly stained red with blood. As soon as I was stunned, a big hand grabbed me, and before I got close, I was separated by the sword. I looked back and found that the Xuanyi guard behind me turned around to fill the vacancy.
Thinking of the hand just now, I couldn't help but be stunned and my heart moved. Yes, what they want is not my life, but me. While thinking about it, another Xuanyi guard fell to the ground without supporting several knives. My heart ached. They are the most heartfelt and effective assistants and brothers who have accompanied me all the way. I must not let them all be sent here. I don't know when Ming Xiao and Ming Jian will come back. If we continue to fight like this, we will definitely not be able to take advantage of it.
At this point, he shouted, "Shout!"
After saying that, one of the men in black really stopped, his eyes were extremely cold, and he asked, "What's the order of Princess Che?"
"If you know my identity, then we will not tell lies and tell your purpose."
"We just want Princess Che to go with us."
I pondered for a moment and said, "I promise you."
"Okay, Princess Che is so bold." The man in black showed satisfaction in his eyes. He waved his hand to his side and shouted, "Stop."
The sound of sword collision immediately stopped, and the three Xuanyi guards who were still struggling to support were about to rush up with their swords and didn't give me any place to let me leave.
"Go back," I said sharply. "No one is allowed to move again. This is an order."
I stopped talking and walked out of the circle that protected me. Princess!" One of the Xuanyi guards raised his hand to pull me, but I stared back at him.
"Curing the injuries of the two of him and inform the prince of this matter." After saying that, I brushed my sleeves and left. A light that I couldn't speak clearly flashed in the eyes of the man in black. I raised my hand and said, "Princess Che, please."
