According to the usual practice, since the northwest has been pacified and the leader of the Ge Teng tribe has been captured alive, it is almost time for Ji Yanran to pack up and prepare to lead the army back to the royal city. Firstly, it is necessary to report the battle situation to Li Jing and discuss about future appeasement; secondly, the soldiers have fought to the death and won the battle, so the emperor's reward and the cheers of the people along the way still need to be enjoyed, at least it can make morale even higher.
In addition, there is the issue of the resettlement of prisoners of war, the ownership of the Qingyang grassland left by Yerten, the follow-up interrogation of Zhou Jiuxiao and Yang Boqing, the escaped woman in snow—many things, big or small, are still waiting for the general to go deal with. But Yun Yifeng said, let's go to Jiangnan.
How could Ji Yanran fail to guess what was going on in his heart, so he held those thin fingers in his palm, and pulled him into his arms.
He originally wanted to say that you give me some more time, maybe just like what Yerten said, the woman in snow clothes really knows the whereabouts of the blood ganoderma, so you let me catch her. Or, since Zhou and Yang are in the same group as her, maybe they will know something, and Yerten may not get nothing after extorting a confession. Hope is still there, let's not give up, don't give up just yet.
Yun Yifeng said: "I don't want to look for it anymore."
It can't be called giving up or giving up, despair or despair. But in the illusory so-called "hope" and the real good situation of going south with the two, he is still more inclined to choose the latter. After all, if it is true that he can only live for half a year, he certainly wants to take advantage of this time to fulfill his wish one by one for the things he has always wanted to do and the places he has always wanted to go. Northwest is good, Yancheng has a cool spring day, cool summer, and melons and fruits are as sweet as honey, but he really doesn't want to be bored in this quiet general's mansion anymore, watching the other party worry about the blood ganoderma lucidum and work hard every day.
"I even have a good idea of the route." Yun Yifeng raised his head, "Just promise me, huh? King Zhou You is still fighting with the princes, the prince should also do something extraordinary, put aside military and political affairs, and follow me happily go."
Ji Yanran gently brushed his side face with his thumb, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he wanted to say yes, but his throat was so dry that he couldn't say a word, and his heart was in a mess—for the first time in his life, he really felt Confused and not knowing what to do.
"Then it's settled like this." Yun Yifeng leaned back on his chest, "I'll give you ten days, and after ten days, we'll go south together."
…
"Going south?" Li Jun was the first person to know the news, thinking, did the blood ganoderma appear in the south
So he hurriedly said: "Okay, then let's set off as soon as possible!"
"Wait a minute!" Yun Yifeng sat up from the couch holding a plate of salted fruit, and explained calmly, "It's me and the prince, two people going south."
Why? Li Jun was at a loss, looking for things, wouldn't the more people there be, the better? Although I am an idiot, I still have some strength. What if I need to plow the ground inch by inch in the wild forest
Although Yun Yifeng was very grateful for his passion, but no matter how grateful he was, he didn’t want to carry this large oil bottle with him in the wind and snow, so he lowered his voice and said, “Pingle King fled the battle, leading to the leaderless vanguard. Something big happened, the prince is angry."
Li Jun turned his face into a bitter gourd, this... Even if I don't escape, I can't really lead the army to fight, are you kidding me! And when I ran back, I wanted to report to you. If I insisted on claiming that I had made a contribution to saving the country, it would be fine—how did I know that the seventh brother was just acting
When mentioning this matter, Li Jun remembered to settle the score, confiscated his fruits, and asked seriously: "The army deliberately set up a ecstasy array, why did you also hide it from me? Is it possible that you are still worried that I will cooperate with the enemy and sneak around?" Report to the Yang family?"
"That's not true." Yun Yifeng replied, "Don't say it's you, even I didn't know until I rushed to the battlefield and saw it with my own eyes."
Li Jun was right to scratch her head when she heard the words, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed out of Yancheng that day. But a new problem came up again, why did Seventh Brother even lie to you
Yun Yifeng smiled: "Perhaps you don't want to bother me, you just stay in the general's mansion every day, eating and drinking is good."
Li Jun thought for a while, then leaned into his ear and said, "There is another reason, the seventh brother probably feels guilty towards you." After all, as long as he agrees, he can get blood ganoderma. It is true that Yerten was too greedy for wanting ten cities in the northwest, but Ji Yanran chose to use his tactics to capture the Kedeng tribe in one fell swoop, but he still couldn't escape a "voluntarily giving up the blood ganoderma". How could he bear to tell his beloved that I want Choose the country and the people, not you
No wonder, I stay in the barracks every day and never come back!
Yun Yifeng took the plate back into his hands: "King Pingle is so witty, just figure it out in your heart, why bother to explain it in detail, I won't reward you for it."
Li Jun smiled apologetically, okay, I won’t talk about it, then look at this Jiangnan—
Yun Yifeng refused straight away, don't even think about it.
Li Jun said listlessly, "Oh."
And Ling Xing'er was also sent back to Chunlin City.
Yun Yifeng said: "It's been so long since I've been out, Qingyue should miss you."
"What about the door master?"
"My lord and I will also go back to Fengyumen to have a look, but we have to walk more slowly on the road." Yun Yifeng imagined, "It's a beautiful and beautiful scenery all the way south at this time, so you don't have to hurry and get tired of the road. Of course, you It's different, you have to go back to see your lover in a hurry."
"What!" Ling Xing'er was blushed by what he said, and she didn't pinch her shoulders well. With all her strength, she pinched the door master who had no sense of proportion until her eyebrows and nose wrinkled into balls, and she almost shed tears.
Duoji also came to bid farewell to Ji Yanran. Yueya was well taken care of by the doctor, accompanied by Ling Xing'er every day, and the powder and balm personally selected by Li Jun, her face finally regained some color. Compared with the bewitching girl with green pupils who was all over the country back then, although her appearance was dull and ordinary, her eyes were much gentler and more vivid, and her occasional smile was sweet. More importantly, someone who loves her is always by her side.
Ji Yanran said: "I have one more matter, I want to discuss with the leader."
Duoji nodded: "His Royal Highness, please tell me."
"Although the Zhuyue tribe is hidden from the world, they have unique views on everything in the world, which is refreshing." Ji Yanran said, "If it is possible in the future, I would like to invite you all to the Daliang King's Capital to meet with the emperor and everyone. How about a gifted man having a drink together and talking freely about the past and the present?"
Duoji smiled and said: "Attention to literati and ideas, His Royal Highness Xiao Wang is really different from ordinary generals. Okay, since the prince has found the crescent moon for me, the Yueyue tribe should reward me, then we will meet again in Wangcheng in the future."
As for Yerteng, Zhou Jiuxiao and Yang Boqing, almost a layer of skin was removed during the torture, but they still did not confess the whereabouts of the bleeding Ganoderma lucidum.
Lin Ying said: "Yerten is really hard-headed, and he hates the prince so much that he would rather die than say anything. As for Zhou Yang and the other two, they probably don't know. They both have their last breath left. I'm afraid that the trial will continue." It will kill people, so it is not easy to explain to the emperor."
"Forget it, escort back to Wangcheng and leave it to Brother Huang." Ji Yanran said, "This time you will personally lead the army and return to Wangcheng to report on your duties."
Lin Ying said again: "But Yang Boqing and Zhou Jiuxiao have been yelling, saying that there are many inside stories that they want to tell the prince, like some great secrets."
"Stop their mouths, don't say a single word." Ji Yanran said, "Also, take your second child with you when you go back."
Lin Ying bowed her head: "Yes!"
King Pingle was sent out like this, very sad and unwilling.
I really want to go to Jiangnan.
The Qingyang Grassland was handed over to Wu En and the Gegen brothers, and with the assistance of the nearby Yunzhu tribe, it should be able to restore the former peace there within half a year.
"I trust you." Ji Yanran said, "I will definitely be Daliang's very good friends in the future."
Wu En leaned slightly: "I will definitely live up to my lord's entrustment!"
Belonging to the Northwest, a new era has arrived.
The continuous flames of war can finally be replaced by a blazing bonfire. On the fire are fat cattle and sheep, and mellow wine is poured into porcelain bowls, and the whole night sky is drunk.
Plum Bamboo Pine walked through the crowd: "Hey, isn't Master Yunmen here?"
"Yun'er doesn't like to drink burning knives, and he has just returned to the General's Mansion." Ji Yanran handed him a bowl of wine, "Senior, do you want to go back to Qianlun Grassland with Leader Yinzhu?"
"I'm not going back, I'm going south." Sitting on the sand dune, Mei Zhusong said, exercising his muscles and bones, "There are many good doctors and medicinal materials in Daliang, I want to see it with my own eyes. If you go together, there will still be a distance between you." But it won't be too far away, the kind of distance that can be found anytime and anywhere when needed is good.
Ji Yanran smiled and said gratefully: "Thank you, senior."
Someone sang in the distance.
After drinking a bowl of choking wine, amidst the melodious melody of the huqin, people chatted loudly, clamoring that they would not be drunk or return home.
This is the night in the northwest.
The grass is low and the wind is blowing, and the sky is far away.
…
Three days later, Lin Ying and Li Jun led the army back to the royal city.
Ling Xing'er returned to Fengyumen with her fellow disciples.
The rest of the tribe also left one after another.
The General's Mansion finally became completely quiet.
Yun Yifeng spread out the baggage on the bed, rummaged through the closet, rummaged through the closet, and felt that she wanted to bring everything, but there was no need to bring everything. I have been busy all morning, planing everything like a rotten sauerkraut jar, and I haven't packed much of my luggage.
Ji Yanran couldn't laugh or cry, we are going to the south of the Yangtze River, not fleeing from disaster, and we don't need to wrap all our clothes around us, what's the matter with this gilded toad
"I like it." Yun Yifeng held it tightly in his hand.
This reason... Ji Yanran admits defeat: "Okay, bring it if you like it."
As for the delicious dried meat, dried yogurt, and dried fruit, three or four packs of each must be prepared, and Lei Mingqin must never forget it.
His Royal Highness King Xiao did not refuse anyone who came, and he agreed to all of them, and ordered a carriage to be specially prepared to carry such a variety of fancy luggage.
"My lord." In the afternoon, the housekeeper reported outside, "There is a letter from Danfeng City."
Ji Yanran had half a piece of dried apricot stuffed in her mouth, and she was grinning sourly at this moment, neither spitting nor spitting, and looking at the contents of the letter, her toothache was even worse.
"What is it?" Yun Yifeng asked.
"The Jiang family is going to elect a new head in May. Ling Fei is worried that other sects will take the opportunity to make trouble and affect the entire Danfeng City, so he wants me to allocate 20,000 troops to help protect the people in the city." Ji Yanran said , "It's not a big deal."
"If there is any trouble in the Jiang family, Danfeng City and even the entire rivers and lakes will indeed be affected." Yun Yifeng thought for a while, "How about this, we will pass by there anyway, and we will stop by to see if it is safe Things can't be better, if something happens, I can help take care of it."
"Okay." Ji Yanran nodded, "I'll just listen to you."
…
The people in Yancheng were reluctant to part with the prince and the master of Yunmen, so they chose to leave quietly at night.
Behind him is the desert and the city gates that are getting farther and farther away. Yun Yifeng rides on the horseback and sees the vast sea of stars hanging down in the surrounding fields, and he feels a lot of emotion in his heart: "It's so beautiful."
Ji Yanran replied, "It's pretty pretty."
Yun Yifeng emphasized: "I'm saying that the stars are beautiful."
Ji Yanran kissed him next to the ear: "I mean you look good."
"..."
Um.
Feishuangjiao rode Juechen and ran towards the distance.
Cuihua followed closely behind, smashing the star shadow with all four hooves, and the eternal wind rustled.
The sky is dark blue, with the Milky Way running through it.
