Peach Blossom

Chapter 43 There is nothing to rely on

In the corner of Yangde Lake, the lotus waves rippled, green slices, bright red spots, light fragrance overflowing and refreshing. The two stood side by side on the lakeside with their hands on their backs, and the breeze lifted their clothes, which was extraordinary.

Are you going to leave tomorrow? Are you really sure you want to lead the army?

He sighed slightly: "Xiyue Pass is the western gate of the Jin Dynasty. Now Ran Shuxuan leads 100,000 troops to attack Xiyue Pass. Once the Xiyue Pass is lost, Habi can directly swing its army eastward, and most of the rivers and mountains will be reduced to the iron hooves. Even if my father's decree has not been issued, I should stand up.

Wen Jiyao frowned deeply: "The emperor's holy body is inconsistent, the situation in Luojing is tense, and the forces in the North and middle are divided into four parts. First, the prince faction, led by Yin Zhengliang and Xie Changqing, centered on the prince, has 20% of the troops; the second is the border pass led by the nine kings. The nine kings have been stationed at the border for ten years, and their soldiers and horses should not be underestimated. Luojing's troops alone are 20%, and many old ministers in the court tend to be diligent and forbearable. Third, the nine kings are commanded by the kings. One faction holds 30% of the strength of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the king has attracted many upstarts in the dynasty in recent years. However, you have 20% of the strength of the Jin Dynasty, and you have the support of the six princes stationed at the Dongxia Pass and the seven princes in the palace. Of course, one of the troops in our Wen Jiyao absolutely obey the call of Prince Yu.

He paused and continued: "Each force is evenly matched, each has its own strength, but after the matter of Habi's peace and relatives, the prestige of the other three forces has plummeted, and your prestige in the dynasty is getting stronger and stronger. Now that the Xiyue Pass is in an emergency, the three forces in the middle of the dynasty have coincidentally elected you to command 100,000 troops to support the Xiyue Pass, which is tantamount to detaging you from Luojing. If the emperor has some deviations and does not have you as a strong opponent, it will be much easier for them to start. Even if you rush back to Luojing, it is a foregone conclusion.

Xia Houchen's claustrophobic eyes: "I can't resist the order!"

Wen Jiyao pondered for a moment: "Why don't you find an excuse for me to lead the troops for you? You stay in Luojing in case the situation changes."

Jun frowned slightly, and he said firmly, "No, I'm going to meet Ran Shuxuan. Since he led the army to invade, I will calculate the old accounts of marriage with him. You stay in Luojing for me. Once there is a change, if I am still at the border gate, you can go to Yunyi Villa to find Chen Hu and ask him to contact the six uncles of Dongxiaguan.

After a pause, Xia Houchen exhaled, "If you are not sure, try your best to protect the prince to ascend the throne!"

After a long time, Wen Jiyao said lightly, "Although I think you are more qualified to rule the world, I will do what you mean."

Xiahouchen whispered thank you, but the two words are an interpretation of the friendship for more than ten years. Regardless of what will happen in the future, it is enough to remember at this moment alone. He breathed softly: "I have given Lin Wan full authority to deal with all the affairs of the Wangfu. Please take care of it for me."

Wen Jiyao responded cheerfully and added, "If you are jealous, I don't care!"

He pulled the corners of his lips and was silent: "If she returns to Beijing, you can help me keep her at any cost."

It turned out that love is so bitter. He secretly celebrated that he was not as addicted as him. He glanced at his calm face. Wen Jiyao suggested, "Come back with a smile. Let's go to Xiyue Pass. Don't be afraid of the Ming army and only be afraid of the dark soldiers. It can't be ruled out that they will be bad for you. As for Yin Pianxuan, I will work hard on Yin Xiaoting and will definitely find her for you.

Seeing his refusal, Wen Jiyao was a little anxious: "When you don't want Yin Pianxuan to come back to you, you are dying, full of scars and can't even see her for the last time!"

The corners of his mouth twitched a few times. Wen Jiyao shook his head slightly with a smile, knowing that he had compromised and raised his eyebrows: "Please rest assured, I will live up to the prince's high expectations!"

"I call Chang Xiao to come back to stay in Luojing, and Shi Yan and Fei Ying are by my side!"

"What's wrong?" Xie Ling put the tea cup in his hand in front of the case. He came back, but his heart seemed to be getting farther and farther away.

He pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "It's okay, I'm just thinking!"

Xie Ling sat on one side with a dark face: "Don't you even want to say me?"

Yin Xiaoting took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "I just don't want you to worry!"

"Your hiding makes me more worried!"

He sighed and leaned back. For a moment, he didn't know how to say it. He only said, "I'm afraid there will be a storm at the border gate."

Knowing that he had never been involved in the court, this must have a deep meaning. Xie Ling did not answer and waited for him to speak quietly.

"The matter of Habi country must not be simple. No matter what the people behind him want to achieve, they know so much about Pianxuan. I'm afraid that that person will not stop, and it will be unfavorable to Phanxuan!"

"Now only you know where to go, and she will be fine." Thinking that he no longer told Yin Piansun where he was now, Xie Ling was still a little embarrassed and pouted: "I didn't mean to say that Piansun was in Rui Mou, Mrs. Shu--"

"I don't blame you!" Yin Xiaoting interrupted her in a warm voice and got up quietly: "I'll go out for a walk!"

"Are you shaken?" Xie Ling bit his lips and made a sound to stop him who wanted to leave the room: "You are beginning to doubt whether what you have done is right, isn't it?"

He shook his head slightly, didn't say anything, and strode out of the room.

————————————————————————

From Liu Youyou, he made a glass of wine for him. When he saw him raise his glass and drink it, he smiled softly: "But are you thinking about something unhappy again?"

Yin Xiaoting raised his eyes and looked at her for a long time, smiled, suddenly got up and grabbed her wrist: "Let's go, I'll take you to a place!"

She didn't have to refuse. She followed Yin Xiaoting out of Yanyufang and quickly left the city.

"Bamboo house?!" Stepping into the path, Liu smiled and looked at the elegant bamboo house in the green bamboo forest: "I didn't expect that there was a hole here! How did you know it was here?

I didn't hear him answer, and looked at him beside him in doubt. He touched the burning eyes and opened his eyes uncompetently, but his head suddenly bent over, and the cool lips were imprinted on the red lips. She stagnated, leaned her head back slightly, covered his lips with one hand, and shook her head: "Don't treat me as her!"

His eyes were covered with sadness for a moment, and he held her in his arms: "Help me, save me, I'm afraid I can't hold on anymore!"

"Don't embarrass yourself!" She couldn't think of any comforting words and couldn't bear to torture him like this: "You have made a decision at the beginning, why do you still pester it until now? If you persist, you are not the only one who suffers. You will let her fall into the same torture as you. Do you really have the heart?"

"I tried and tried very hard, but in the end, I couldn't convince myself!"

From Liu's bitter smile, this man who made her heartbroken gently left his arms and looked at him deeply: "You can do it, I believe you!"

She didn't stop any longer and resolutely turned around and left him alone in front of the bamboo house for a long time.

————————————————————————

His bony fingers stroked the words on the bamboo pole, and he smiled and said word by word: "Xia-hou-chen-I-hate-you". Through a piece of bamboo leaf, it seemed to see her pouted red lips, muttering angrily in her mouth, and engraved words on the green bamboo with hatred.

You little goblin, he raised his eyebrows, and the smile at the corners of his lips condensed when he caught a glimpse of the words on another green bamboo. He slowly stroked the deep marks. It was not her words. He hesitated for a moment, looking for more words.

"Piao'er, I'm sorry!" Miss you!" I'm going crazy!" Still miss you!" I want to forget you, but I can't!" ......

"Piao'er, forgive me!" Come back to me!" I can't live without you!" How can you leave as if nothing happened!" You are mine, you can only be mine!" Don't leave with him. I feel so bad!" ......

"I just want you!" Don't do this to me!" Half a year, are you still angry with me?" I can't find you!" I hate, hate myself!" Where the hell are you?" I dreamed of you, but you ignored me!" ......

"Don't let others call you Piao'er, okay? Piao'er belongs to me and is unique to me!" What do you want from me?" I'll give you whatever you want, as long as you come back to me!" ......

"You are really cruel!" Why do you occupy my heart so domineeringly!" I don't want you anymore, but I can't control myself!" ......

"Have you met Zong Chenghuan? Don't let him get close to you!" Rui Mouhong, where are you? I'm so worried!" There is nothing I can do. I pray to God that if you are really safe and sound, then I would rather let go!" ......

"I killed your spirit snake. I don't want your curse to come true, so I personally released a thousand snakes. I can be angry, betray my relatives, and even lose you for the rest of my life, but you must be fine."

"He's back. From his look, I know you're safe and sound. I'm relieved!"

"I lied to myself again. As long as I see you again, if you are ruthless to me, I will let go, but, as you said, I am despicable. I will chain you and won't let you leave!"

His heart is faintly painful, and the marks of the words are getting newer and newer. His fingers brushed the bamboo knot, and the thin bamboo crumbs seem to have just been separated from the bamboo knot. His hand gently brushed the words on the bamboo knot: Pian'er, I want to lead the troops to the west to Yueguan. Internal and external troubles, life and death are unpredictable. If alive, I will go to you in person. If you die, congratulations, you can go far away with him. This bamboo forest will no longer exist like me, but I will not forget you engraved in my heart. If there is an afterlife, your music can only be played to me, and your dance can only be shown to me. Allow me to call you "Pian'er". Cherish!

He smiled, but his eyes were burning. Is this your love for her? How can you be so domineering? Is it so domineering that it is so unreasonable that it is difficult to deal with it?

repeatedly stroked the word "cherish", and he sighed. Maybe he should fulfill this love, but the selfishness in his heart is at the cause, and he can't be so generous.

"Why are you here?"

The cold voice sounded from behind his back, and he smiled: "I have nothing to do. I went to the bamboo forest, but I saw that the good Cuizhu was boringly engraved a lot of words by someone. What a pity!"

"Yin Xiaoting, get out of the bamboo forest and don't step into the bamboo forest!"

Yin Xiaoting turned around leisurely, looked at his cold eyes, and his eyebrows jumped: "What's wrong? Are these words a masterpiece of Prince Yu? Prince Ying is really interested!"

Xia Houchen clenched his fists: "Yin Xiaoting, don't think I dare not touch you!"

Yin Xiaoting smiled and sighed, "Why, Prince Yu is known about his mind, and he is ashamed and angry. Is going to kill him?"

His face was hot, he snorted coldly, threw down the sentence "Don't let me see you again", and turned around and left.

Yin Xiaoting frowned and shouted loudly at his back, "If Lord Yu can come back with his life, I may let Pianxuan see you!"

His cold eyes wandered and his face softened a little. He stopped: "If I can't come back, take good care of her!"

After a few steps, he stopped: "If I die, my people will destroy the bamboo forest. Don't mention everything here to her."

Yin Xiaoting shrugged his shoulders and hummed softly, "A arrogant and conceited man wants face."

Looking at Xia Houchen's back disappearing into the verdant green of the bamboo forest, he stroked the bamboo knot again and called softly: "Pinger--"

His pian!
