Zhao Yue didn't come back until it was dark outside, and Wen Liunian was napping on the table.
"Why do you fall asleep here?" Zhao Yue picked him up, "I'm not afraid of catching a cold."
"I want to wait for you to come back." Wen Liunian yawned, "Where did you go? I haven't seen anyone all day."
"Go to Master." Zhao Yue said, "I thought you were still in the palace, so I didn't send anyone back to report."
"Why did Master seek you?" Wen Liunian asked.
"I just checked my injuries." Zhao Yue said, "Then he taught me a set of meditation formulas, let me recuperate slowly."
"Don't be too tired." Wen Liunian warned.
"I've been resting lately, how can I be tired." Zhao Yue said, "It's you, who promised to stay at home for a month, but it turned out that you started running to the palace every day before you got married for three days."
"I don't want to either." Wen Liunian put his arms around his neck, "But there is no way."
"I know." Zhao Yue pressed his forehead against him, "How's the Southwest King?"
"The emperor seems to be determined to ignore him." Wen Liunian said, "He looks like he has a plan in his chest, and no one is allowed to ask. I just asked one more question, and the lunch has changed from a river seafood feast to green vegetables and tofu."
Zhao Yue laughed out loud: "And then?"
"Then I didn't ask any further." Wen Liunian said, "Although this matter is extremely weird, the emperor has always been very cautious in his actions. Since he has made this decision, he should be 100% sure."
"Perhaps it is true as I said, the emperor has already reached an agreement with the Southwest King, but he just kept it from everyone." Zhao Yue said, "So there is no need to go to the East China Sea for the time being?"
"Yes." Wen Liunian nodded, "If the East China Sea is temporarily suppressed by the Southwest King, the Emperor should use the two years to train the army and enrich the national treasury."
"Alright." Zhao Yue pinched his face, "Are you going to the palace tomorrow?"
"I won't go." Wen Liunian shook his head, "The emperor forbids me to go."
"Then I'll take you to the outskirts of the city to relax?" Zhao Yue said, "The mountain stream I visited before."
"Okay." Wen Liunian nodded, and then asked, "Is your injury all right?"
"It's okay." Zhao Yue hugged him, "It's just that I can't fight the enemy."
"Let's leave it to the rest of the people to go into battle and kill the enemy." Wen Liunian held his hand, "It's fine as it is now."
Zhao Yue nodded and leaned over to kiss him.
Early in the morning of the second day, the two rode out of the mansion together. Wen Rumo was doing Tai Chi slowly in the courtyard, and he was puzzled when he saw it: "What are you going to do so early?"
"Master, my lord will go out of the city to watch the sunrise with the head of the family." The servant replied beside him, "It is said that I will not come back for a day."
Watching the sunrise... Wen Rumo asked his wife, "Do you want to see it?"
"No, I didn't sleep well last night." Mrs. Wen rubbed her temples, "I'll go tomorrow."
"I'll go." Zhou Dingtian interrupted.
"Go quickly if you want to go." Wen Rumo disliked it, "Do you still want me to take you?"
So the two began to bicker with each other again, Zhou Mubai sat on the side and drank tea slowly, just as if he was listening to a book.
In the middle of the two mountain depressions on the outskirts of the city, a round of red sun slowly rose, and then burst into thousands of golden rays, pouring on the face through the fingers, warm.
"It's really nice here." Wen Liunian said, "I want to build a small house."
"Okay." Zhao Yue hugged him from behind, "I'll build one for you."
Wen Liunian smiled: "Yes."
"Want to go down the mountain?" Zhao Yue asked, and then smiled wryly, "But I can't take you down anymore."
"It's the same for walking." Wen Liunian said, "It's just right, you always thought I was unwilling to move." Now you can't even think about it.
Zhao Yue took his hand, and the two walked down the path together.
There was a drizzle last night, so the mountain road was very muddy, so I became more careful on my feet. The bottom of the valley that could be reached in the blink of an eye, the two of them walked for more than half an hour before arriving.
"It's all mud." Wen Liunian jumped on the ground, "So it took so long to walk."
"It's faster to come down, and it's slower to go up." Zhao Yue squatted down and wiped the mud off his shoes with grass blades, "I'm carrying you on my back."
"That won't work, you're still hurt." Wen Liunian said, "We'll talk about it later when you recover."
The two red-armored wolves also crawled out slowly, lying on the big rock to bask in the sun. After a while, the little red armored wolf rubbed against its carapace, hungry!
The bigger one swished into the grass, went around in a circle, and then returned to the big rock.
"Ah!" Wen Liunian jumped into Zhao Yue's arms decisively.
Two big bugs crawled past him.
And then two more.
Two more.
Wen Liunian almost fainted: "I, I, let's go!" I didn't see so many last time!
"Wait." Zhao Yue appeased and patted him on the back.
The worm crawled through the grass, and then never moved again.
The little red-armored wolf, Hanhan, got off the big rock and ate.
The red-armored wolf shook its tentacles triumphantly, amazing.
"No wonder, Guzhu Ye said that the golden armored wolf is hard to find in the world." Mr. Wen said humanely, "It turns out that it is really so powerful."
"Ordinary red-armored wolves, even if they grow up, they are only red-armored wolves." Zhao Yue said, "It will rarely turn golden."
"It's amazing." Wen Liunian squeezed it.
The beard of a red-armored wolf is straight.
Cover it up.
Wen Liunian leaned on Zhao Yue's shoulder, looking at the distant clouds in a daze, his eyes were very quiet and quiet.
It's nice to have such a leisurely day...
The Battle of the East China Sea, which was originally thought to be vigorous, was temporarily suppressed in an unpredictable way due to the interference of the Southwest King Duan Baiyue. In fact, although Duan Baiyue sent a letter, he obviously did not intend to seek Chu Yuan's opinion, because before he received a reply from the court, he had already started to assemble the army, intending to step into Chu State all the way and go straight to Muyang, East China Sea city.
The local officials turned pale with fright, and hurriedly reported the matter to the imperial court, but in the end they only waited for four words—don't pay attention.
Don't bother
The Southwest Inspector received the imperial decree and read it over and over three or four times before confirming that it was indeed Chu Yuan's handwriting and seal.
But... really don't care about it
A few days later, another rumor spread that the Southwest King's ancestral home was Muyang City in the East Sea, and that he had no other intentions in raising troops this time, but just wanted to go back to his hometown to have a look.
The excuse is really bad, so bad that even the second idiot who sells tamarind on the street knows, bah, what is homesickness, it sounds good.
It is not enough to take away the sixteen prefectures of Yunnan, and even the east has to intervene.
Along with the caravan, the news quickly spread throughout the territory of Great Chu, and even the other dependent countries heard the news, and those who heard it were shaking their heads and sighing——Although the territory of Southwest Miaojiang is not as vast as that of Great Chu, its strength should not be underestimated. I am afraid that the East China Sea will repeat the mistakes of Yunnan.
A group of veterans couldn't kneel down in the early court. First they made a speech, and then they burst into tears. On the left, "Why are the mountains and rivers brought down by our ancestors allowed to be trampled by foreigners?" " After speaking, the whole face turned red.
Chu Yuan said: "The three lovers are right. If that's the case, let's take the trouble to lead the army to go out."
The people below were dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, this old minister is a civil servant."
"Oh, it's a civil servant." Chu Yuan glanced at Shen Qianfan, "What does the general think?"
Shen Qianfan said: "If the last general goes to the East China Sea, the extreme northern border may be invaded by thieves. Raksha country's wolf ambition will not happen overnight."
"General Shen is not free, the other generals are always available." A group of veterans were anxious.
"Wars are not for the general alone." Chu Yuan said, "There are no soldiers and no weapons, so the general alone can speak on the battlefield? If that's the case, then it's better to let Wen Aiqing go."
"I don't want to go!" Wen Liunian turned pale with shock, he hadn't been appointed as an official yet, so he didn't have to go to the court, but this was the first time Chu Yuan called him over.
"I'm not willing to let you go." Chu Yuan smiled, "Tell me what you think."
"It's better to fight than to delay." Wen Liunian said, "Since the king of the Southwest has said that he only wants to see his hometown, if the emperor refuses to let him see, it will make us seem petty. We might as well wait for a while to see what the other party wants. Even if it is If we really want to fight, even if there are tens of thousands of Chu princes in the East China Sea, we may not be at a disadvantage."
"Okay." Chu Yuan nodded, "Just follow what Ai Qing said, first see what the other party wants to do."
With Chu Yuan's words, the subsequent journey of the Southwest Army can be said to be unimpeded. The people along the way were still worried at first, thinking that there would be chaos again, but who knew that nothing would happen, and they even got a lot of benefits - just like Duan Baiyue said, this trip is really like returning home. Money will be distributed to the common people, which is very generous. So that later, everyone has changed from the previous "don't pass by my house" to "why doesn't the king of the Southwest come?", wishing to pave the road with flowers and so on.
Officials along the way kept a close eye on Duan Baiyue's every move, and sent letters one by one to Wangcheng, often with only one sentence - today is still safe and sound.
Wen Liunian yawned with his cheeks propped up, and burned the letter as usual.
No wonder the emperor threw it all to him. There were twenty-three secret letters from the state capitals along the route without changing the words.
Wen Rumo and Mrs. Wen have also left Wangcheng and returned to their hometown in Jiangnan, accompanied by Zhou Dingtian and Zhou Mubai.
Qin Shaoyu also took Shen Qianling to Ranshuang Island in the South China Sea. Before leaving, he brought along the remnants of the youth who had assassinated Zhao Yue, and gave it to his master to plant medicine and flowers. Since Zhao Yue's martial arts had been abolished, a team of hidden guards was specially left behind.
"Chirp!" Reluctantly, Little Phoenix gently rubbed the two red-armored wolves with his paws, before being obediently carried away by Shen Qianling.
The Jianghu mascot's eyes were filled with tears, and his heart almost broke.
Shen Qianfeng and Ye Jin still stayed in Wangcheng. First, they could continue to take care of Zhao Yue. Second, they also wanted to see if there was anything Chu Yuan could do to help.
As the weather gradually cooled down, Wen Liunian asked the tailor to make two sets of the same quilted robes, and he wore them for a walk in Wangcheng with Zhao Yue, for fear that others would not know that he was married.
Wuying lay on the table and yawned: "Sir, when shall we go back?"
Looking at Wen Liunian and Zhao Yue passing by below, Yun Duanhun couldn't help but also laughed.
"It's actually not bad to be like this now." Wu Feng said, "Master may not necessarily want to practice martial arts."
Yun Duanhun put down his wine glass.
"I just said it casually." Wufeng said, "Don't blame me, sir."
"You're right." Yun Duanhun said, "It's really good as it is now."
"Then..." Wufeng probed.
"Call Ah Yue to come over tonight." Yun Duanhun said, "There are some things that you and I say are useless, and he has to make his own decisions."
