I looked up at his elegant jawline, watched his lower lip move slightly, and his lip line tightened, but he didn't say a single word.
I smiled and continued: "From now on, I will be the king, you will be the minister, master, is this what you want?"
"Yu'er..." He held my hand tightly and buried his head in my hair. The voice seemed to come from far away, too erratic to be touched. "Am I too selfish..."
"Yeah. You take this world and this community as your own..." I raised my hand to caress his cheek, and for some reason, my heart suddenly turned cold. "Be careful what you say in front of Liu Che. You treat the world as your own, so where do you put the emperor?"
Feeling his expression froze under my palm, I laughed again, "Don't worry, I'm just joking, get used to being the emperor first. You are Liu Che's confidant, why would he care about these petty words with you?" What's wrong?" You are a sharp knife left to him by the late emperor, how could he have the heart to break you.
I struggled to get out of his arms, turned around, and sat down facing him. "Okay, okay, don't say those sad things, tell me, is the family okay? Has Yanli gone back? I agreed to go home and wait for him to eat, and this time I missed the appointment again."
A look of shame flashed in the master's eyes, "Tang San and Tao Er left Li's residence, Qiao Si was with me, Yan Li... never came back..."
I took a deep breath, my palms trembled slightly, and I clenched tightly, hold on!
"Alright, let's go. The emperor doesn't always call himself a loner, I will get used to being alone sooner or later. Haha..." He smiled dryly and sighed.
A look of unbearable flashed across the master's face. "Don't worry, Yan Li will be fine."
"Well, so what if you don't worry... Forget it, you go, I'm a little tired." It seemed that it was the first time in my life that I spoke to the master like this, and he always drove me away—Yu'er, go back and rest. Yu'er, go practice calligraphy. Yu'er don't make trouble, while reading.
This time it's my turn to say to him - let's go...
Like a high-ranking monarch, he lazily leaned on the dragon bed, with his back to the officials, waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, let's kneel down..."
Hahahaha... so happy and enjoyable!
Kneel down...
leave me alone, quiet...
Master, there are some things that I really want to share with you, but now, it seems that it is not the time... 63 …
Qiao Yu said, "You didn't sleep well last night."
I stopped my chopsticks and laughed dryly: "It must have been a nightmare, you didn't wake me up."
Qiao Yu looked at me silently for a while, I thought he probably knew everything, but he didn't say anything.
At this time Liu Che came in, complaining: "You guys started without waiting for me."
I glanced at him with mixed emotions—this man, he doesn't look like he's about to die...
Heart failure, what is that concept? Time is running out, and how long...
When I didn't see him, I couldn't help worrying, but when I saw his lively appearance, I couldn't help wondering: Is he lying to me...
After hesitating for a while, I still said: "Ache, you should find Yanli for me and let him take a look at it for you."
Liu Che smiled and said, "Yingyu, if you want to see Yan Li, just say so, why use me as a cover."
I was not happy, and snorted coldly: "Yes, I just want to see Yan Li, you find him for me!"
Liu Che quickly apologized and said, "Okay, okay, you have to give me time, the battle will start tomorrow, so I packed my bags and set out on the road this afternoon, and ran overnight."
Yeah, the battle starts tomorrow...
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, Liu Che frowned and said, "Who is outside!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
When I heard this voice, my head suddenly became dizzy, that Concubine Xu...
Unable to stop the outsiders, the girl in a fancy dress rushed in, knelt in front of Liu Che, her almond eyes were red and swollen. "Your Majesty, please allow your concubine to accompany the army!"
Liu Che's expression darkened. "Nonsense! How can you, a woman, join the army!"
This is not a matter of men being superior to women, the main reason is that marching and fighting is a labor of strength, and it is not that there are no women in the army, but I think Xu Guifei definitely does not want to be that kind of woman.
But she refused to accept it, and pointed at me with her slender fingers. "Then why can she!"
I swallowed hard - I'm not that kind of woman either!
Liu Che snorted coldly: "How can you compare with her!"
Ah Che, you shouldn't talk like that. Not only can you not reason with this kind of woman, you also have to be unreasonable with her...
Sure enough, Concubine Xu Guiwu was about to burst into tears.
"My father is also a general, why can't I join the army? Your Majesty, my concubine will follow you to the death..."
Alas, the child's brain is not good enough to move his father out to suppress the emperor.
Liu Che's face became even more ugly, and he scolded the left and right to take her back to the palace to watch.
After the woman's voice could no longer be heard, Liu Che turned to me and said, "I'll show you a joke."
I tugged at the corner of my mouth, "It's okay, Jianweixiaoshi."
After all, Concubine Xu Gui could not join the army, letting her come to the palace was already doing Xu Litian a great deal of face. Xu Li probably didn't want his daughter to suffer like that—that girl looked like she was spoiled and raised. In fact, generals generally dote on their daughters more.
Apart from me, Qiao Si and Liu Che, there are also three civil servants, Shifu, Mo Wei and Han Xin, not to mention the generals.
When it comes to war in the story, it seems to be one or two events, but when you are in the middle of it, you know that the fight lasted for three months, six months, three years, or even decades.
Liu Che hopes to end this war within half a year, and I can only hold on to this hope.
The first target of this battle is the first pass in Wuyi—Qionghan Pass. According to detection, 10,000 troops have been secretly gathered here. According to Liu Che's strategy, it is best to strike first. Assuming that the opponent's deployment plan was credible, Bai Fan was the main general, defending the Qionghan Pass, and Xu Li responded from the side, with the goal of completely annihilating the enemy.
At that time, Liu Che and I were sitting in the tent of the Chinese army playing chess, and the sound of drums and shouts of killing was loud outside.
"Your chess skills have not improved at all." He expressed his entanglement with my chaotic chess moves.
"Hmm." I responded casually. In fact, it's not that I don't play cards according to the rules, it's just that I don't know what the rules are.
"Report—the left-wing raid was successful! The guards at Qionghan Pass are in disarray!"
"Report—the main firepower is to attack Qionghan Pass, and any fleeing enemy troops will be besieged and killed by General Xu!"
"Report—Qionghan Pass has been broken! All enemy troops surrender!"
It was only half a day's work, before my chess pieces filled the board, countless soldiers died outside.
"Today's battle is nothing more than a successful surprise attack." I threw away the chess pieces, and I was no longer in the mood to play chess. "The really difficult thing to fight is the next game, the next game."
The end point of this battle is to destroy the vital forces of the Minyue Kingdom, or until they submit and surrender.
But what is the reason that made them challenge Chen Guo without fear? Although Chen Guo hurt his vitality, it was definitely not something that a small Minyue country like him could covet.
Pearl of rice grains, does a sick silkworm want to swallow the whole mulberry leaf
I squeezed the space between my eyebrows and asked Liu Che, "Have you found out which force is behind the Minyue Kingdom?"
"Not yet." Liu Che smiled.
I frowned and said, "You really failed as an emperor."
Is it still unknown, or is he hiding it from me? If it hasn't been found out yet, then what kind of force is hiding it so successfully? If it is hidden from me, what is the reason
bother!
I don't want to be emperor! I just want to be a little chicken without thinking!
Feeling irritable in my heart, I turned my head to Qiao Yu and said, "Qiao Yu, let's go back to the tent, I'm tired."
When I came out of the tent of the Chinese army, I ran into Master and Mo Wei. The two stood still and saluted me. I was upset when I saw Master salute me. Two people.
"Is there anything to tell Your Majesty?" I asked.
Mo Wei bowed his head and said: "The ministers are preparing to report the number of casualties to His Majesty."
"Well... After reporting back, come to see me in my tent."
Waiting for those two people in the tent, I asked Qiao Yu, "Do you know the exact whereabouts of Tao Qing, Tang Si and Yan Li?"
Qiao Yu replied: "When I left, Tang Jing, the head of the Tang Sect, came to the Li Mansion, and Tao Qing and Tang Si left with him afterward."
Oh, and Tang Jing was involved? The Tao family and the Tang family were originally in-laws, but why did Tang Jing come to Li's residence? I sneered in my heart, did I come to complain and divorce my wife
"What about Yanli?"
"I have no way of knowing, but judging by Tao Qing's expression, there should be no danger."
When we left that day, Tao Qing and I had a small falling out... I blamed him for ignoring Yan Li's life, did he ever blame me in his heart
"Princess, Lord Shen, please see me."
"Let him come in." I turned to Qiao Yu and said, "Bring the kettle."
After flushing the Dahongpao, which is said to be a famous Wuyi tea, the tent is full of tea fragrance.
I smiled and stretched out my hand to the visitor, "Sit down, there are no outsiders here, so you don't need to be polite. I know you love tea, and today you won the best tea king, so I specially invite you to taste it."
There are no chairs in the army, only low table cushions. He knelt and sat down opposite me, with a calm expression on his face.
I seem to be indifferent—in fact, I am going crazy...
Is this the cold war? He is no longer intimate with me, and there is a difference between monarch and minister. I respect his "there is a difference between the monarch and his ministers", and when I think of his once "I'm sorry", the madness in my heart gradually turns into an egg...
I knew that you blamed me, and in the end, you left me in this way. You said that even if you choose the world, you will always stand by my side. You know that this is not what I want. I don’t want you by my side. I just want to be in your arms...
Sighing in my heart, I poured him a cup of tea, "If you haven't found out the support forces of the Minyue Kingdom before, after today's battle, there should be some clues."
He took a sip of his tea and replied to me in a businesslike manner.
"The level of smelting of the weapons used by the soldiers of the Minyue Kingdom is not as good as that owned by the country, so it should be related to the Liang Kingdom."
Minyue country does not have many minerals, and its smelting technology is so-so. Chen Guo is slightly better than Minyue country, but the real strong is Liang country.
"You mean, the country of Liang is helping the country of Minyue?"
"Not necessarily." He twirled the teacup unconsciously. I have been with him for many years, and I know that when he thinks about a problem, he always twirls the thing in his hand. "The monarch of Liang State is only interested in profit. If there is no huge profit, it is unlikely to help Minyue State. Minyue State's battle with Chen State is unpredictable. He would not make such a big bet. There is a possibility that the foundry of Liang State will help , but the raw materials needed to cast fine steel are strictly guarded by Liang State, and it is extremely difficult to obtain. There is another possibility, that is, to buy weapons from Liang State and smuggle them through the territory of Chen State."
I am happy. "Such a large-scale smuggling case has been carried across the entire Chen country to Minyue country. Didn't any of my Chen country officials notice it?"
The master shook his head helplessly, the smile on his lips was rather bitter, even bitterer than this tea. "The old evils are hard to get rid of. Firstly, the government is incompetent, and secondly, it is precisely because of the government's incompetence that the folk forces are too strong. The local tyrants only cover the sky with their hands."
My eyelids twitched when I heard this, the words were so familiar - it seems that the master said that about the group of people in Baihong Villa... The gangsters are powerful, they do evil, and they are lawless...
"What clue do you have?" I asked while thinking, it might not be related to Tao Er...
"I have sent someone to investigate, but after the fact, it will not be of much benefit to the situation. The most important thing at the moment is to fight, but if this war involves the Jianghu forces of Chen Guo, then we will be in danger of being attacked by the enemy." Master Putting down the teacup, he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes, and there was also a trace of displeasure - chivalrous people use martial arts to break the ban, not to mention, some people are only martial arts, they can't be called chivalrous. Master has always been prejudiced against those people. I am more objective about things outside of me, but it is inevitable that I am somewhat protective of my own people.
Tao Qing, Tang Si... Does this matter have anything to do with you
After the master left, I finally didn't have to force myself to maintain that "princess" posture. I waved to Qiao Yu, leaned lazily on his chest, and drew circles on his chest with my fingers.
"There is something, I want you to help me go."
"Okay, tell me." He held my restless hand and whispered.
In fact, he probably also knows what I want him to do, but the cuteness of him is that he knows it and doesn't pretend to be smart and say, "You want me to do something, right..."
His pattern is: you say—I do—absolutely obey orders...
Originally, I was supposed to be a queen in front of him, but now it's the other way around, I'm acting like a spoiled child to him, and pretending to be a queen to my master. tired…
"Inquire about the whereabouts of Tao Qing and Tang Si, and see if they know about this matter. I think the master must have the same idea as me, to find Tao Qing before his people, and... if possible, let him come and see I… "
Qiao Yu nodded, ready to get up. "Okay, I'm leaving now."
"Wait." I pulled down his neck, raised my head and offered a deep kiss, looking into his deep eyes, my heart throbbed, and finally said: "Be careful and be safe, come back early."
After he left, I will sleep alone at night...
