The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the red leaves, a piece of golden light, making the mountains and forests glow with gorgeous and psychedelic colors.
Ye Shiyi leaned on the tree trunk and looked at Ling Qingyu in the forest, who was listening to the enthusiastic explanations from the Ministry of Agriculture with a smile on his face. There was a tender nostalgia in the corner of his mouth that he didn't realize. In the past, when Yan San just followed her and looked at her silently, his cold eyes were full of warmth, but only now did he know what kind of mood it was.
"Brother Eleven." The hurried footsteps behind him and the soft call made him turn around like a sharp sword about to meet the enemy roaring in its scabbard, with a sharp chill.
"I'm afraid there will be quite a few people participating this time." Ye Po hurriedly approached, glanced at the people in the forest, and said in a low voice: "Master has offended quite a few people this time."
Ye Shixi sneered, and said, "My family doesn't do production, so I just want to rely on those methods to get money. Now that my money is blocked, I will naturally panic."
"Over there in the south of the Yangtze River, I asked Ying Qi and the others to assist General Wei. Here in Bianjing, what are your plans?" Ye Pei asked with uncontrollable anger in his voice.
"Let them do it, and then we'll clean it up together." Replied casually, Ye Shiyi watched Ling Qingyu walk under a tree with a distant look in her eyes. She raised her head slightly, revealing the graceful shape of her neck. His voice softened, but with a deeper coldness, he said, "Are you sure that the sons of Lin Xiang and Li Yan are inside?"
"Yes, but I can't confirm whether Lin Xiang and Li Yan are also involved." Ye Po's voice was also gloomy. Li Yan was the first person to go to sea with Ling Qingyu. In Yang Zhao's old department, although his contributions were not enough compared to others, Ling Qingyu gave him no less than others. The same Duke, he had a garrison of 100,000 troops, military pay and equipment. It was all based on Yang Zhao’s time. Yanmenguan’s troops had always been one of the best treated troops in the Hua Dynasty, and Lin Xiang was originally Meng Su’s subordinate. After Meng Su’s death, he followed He Li directly. One of the Gyeonggi Guards, the status is not low, if these two people also participate...
"Let's take precautions against them." Ye Shiyi said coldly, twisting his wrist.
Ye Po hesitated for a while, and asked, "Aren't you going to tell Gao Liu about this?"
"Is there a problem with the other three battalions in Gyeonggi?" Seeing Ye Po shaking his head, Ye Shixi said: "Let's not talk about it for now, Li Yan and Gao Liu are brothers for many years, and Lin Xiang is his subordinate. If it is a dissuasion, it will be troublesome."
His voice was calm and cold, causing Ye Po to be taken aback for a moment. After thinking about it again, he turned his eyes to Ye Shixi and said, "Did you do it on purpose? To make them riot?"
Picking a red leaf casually, rubbing the veins on the leaf with his fingertips, Ye Shixi said: "Ye Po, you heard it last time, the master's body cannot last too long... If she can live a long life, I don't care to play with them for a few more years, but..., the sooner she settles down, the sooner she can do what she wants to do, this position has trapped her for too long."
After a moment of silence, Ye Po stroked the stubble on his chin and said, "If you don't inform Gao Liu, Lin Xiang and Li Yan have 200,000 people under their command. The army cannot be mobilized."
Ye Shiyi smiled arrogantly, and said, "You don't even need to use members of the Kang family to deal with them. My people are enough. Why, are you afraid that your red building can't deal with those reckless people?"
Pulling a beard from his chin, the corners of Ye Po's mouth curled up slightly, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile, "You say you are reckless." Thirteen years ago, in order to avenge Wolong Peak, Ling Qingyu With money, Ling Yunfei established many martial arts sects, but what Ling Qingyu didn't know was that more people died under Yan Qi's order. Now, the new generation has gathered a lot of people under the provocation of those who care about them. Those who participated in this incident included Kang Yuan and Sheng Yidong.
Looking back, I saw the two people standing under the big tree in the forest. The setting sun in late autumn leaked from the gaps in the trees, and sprinkled the two people with brilliance, so dazzling that people couldn't look directly at them.
The smile on Ling Qingyu's face slowly bloomed, joyful and proud.
Those are the two children I am most proud of. The children who grew up watching them grow up are now men who can stand up to the sky.

In December, there were several snowfalls in Bianjing. Under the prosperity and tranquility, the undercurrent was raging.
Li Yan, who had been stationed at Yanmen Pass, Du Ming, Yin Tingan, Gucheng of Chengdu, and Qi Tingyan, Gao Wenhe of Linhuang Mansion in Youzhou, and others should be recalled to Beijing to continue their posts. All of a sudden, Bianjing became extremely lively.
**
"The terrain in Tubo is dangerous, and the mountain reaction is severe. How are you prepared?" Pointing to the vast land on the map, Ling Qingyu looked at Yin Ting'an and Gu Cheng with a smile and asked.
Yin Ting'an smiled and said, "Now those boys can rush up to the Himalayas in one go."
Looking at the mature and stable man in front of him, Ling Qingyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Yin Ting'an has been stationed in Chang'an, attacking the Central Plains, Jiangnan, Liao, and even Southern Xinjiang. , but he never objected, just like what He Li explained at the beginning, he has been sticking to Chang'an, sticking to the strategic location where she can retreat at any time if something happens to the Central Plains.
"It's about time. Recently, the tribes in Tubo have been fighting fiercely to seize the power of the vassal king. Some tribes have already sent us a signal that they are willing to form an alliance." Gu Cheng stroked his beard and smiled. Originally, he was supposed to fight in the spring of this year, but because of the disaster, he was delayed for a year. It seemed that Ling Qingyu couldn't bear it anymore.
"Well, although the central plains south of the Yangtze River have suffered severe disasters this year, Shaanxi and Chengdu plains have had a bumper harvest. Guan Xiao, is your equipment ready?" Seeing Guan Xiao nodding, Ling Qingyu smiled and said, "Then don't wait any longer. , I’ve locked you up for so long, if you don’t let them out, you’ll blame me for making your heroes late.”
Everyone in the room laughed. After laughing, Du Ming was taken aback for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"It's time to unify the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions." Ling Qingyu answered Du Ming's doubts with a smile. Seeing that Du Ming's no longer young face suddenly glowed with a strange light, he turned his head and said to Li Yan with a smile. : "Li Yan, if you want, you can also be with Du Ming."

"Guan Xiao! Let's have a few drinks with my brother today!" After leaving the imperial study, Gu Cheng grabbed Guan Xiao's shoulder and said.
"You want to bribe me? Don't worry, Your Majesty has been preparing for several years. You will be jealous when you see those things." Guan Xiao smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"She never does anything that is not sure. Since she said that the two lines will fight together today, she is well prepared. We have no doubt about this. Today is just drinking. We have not been together for a long time. ?” Yin Tingan laughed.
Seeing the joy of the people in front of him, Gao Liu took a few steps back, walked beside Li Yan, and said, "What? Why don't you want to be with Du Ming?"
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that when Ling Qingyu said that he didn't answer for a long time, Du Ming diverted the conversation. I'm afraid that in their hearts, they all thought that he was unwilling to fight, yes, he was already in a high position. Military power, a family with wives and children, people who are already forty years old, it is true that they are not so hardworking, but that is not the reason for his daze at that time, but because he never thought that Ling Qingyu would think of him, and would think of giving him Chances are, the Northwest Army on Du Ming's side has been training for many years to fight against the Western Regions, not to mention the Raksha Army, with such a strong lineup, who will let him really take risks in the end? It's nothing more than giving him a chance to show off his glory again on the battlefield!
But, those are his own son and daughter, do you really want to see them go to die, and kill off the Li family's descendants...
Fearing Li Yan for a moment, Gao Liu quickly walked a few steps to catch up with the people in front, and shouted: "Okay, I'll treat you to my brother today, anyway, this is also my territory."
I don't care about my life, but I can't let anyone hurt her, even if I want to kill my brother, I don't care!
He Li's words seemed to be still ringing in his ears back then, and Gao Liu felt a little sour in his heart. Twenty years passed by, and what he thought would never change has slowly deteriorated in time. Li Yan, do you think you brought so many Soldiers come here, no one really knows? Who is Ye Shiyi, and who do you think I am, Gao Liu? If I can't even notice this, how dare I swear to Brother Li to defend Gyeonggi to the death!
