In Mobei camp, Mo Mirage was sitting in the main camp. Li Yihou was beside him. A secret guard knelt on the ground and said: "Return to the master, there has been news from Li Jin. There is indeed a woman from the Central Plains who arrived in Xiqiao the day before. , It's just..."
Mo Mirage frowned and said, "Why, what's the problem?" The dark guard continued, "That woman does not look like a wife."
Li Yi couldn't help asking: "Then, besides her, can you find other women?" The dark guard replied, "I'm still investigating." Seeing Li Yi still want to ask, Mo Mirage waved his hand and said, "That's it. , You go down first and keep staring at it." The dark guard retreated after getting the order.
At this time, Zhong Xia was in the kitchen, and the small pot in front of him was stewing the pigeon soup for dinner. His face was solemn, and he still held the green that Mo mirage he had eaten that day. Matsumaru.
After thinking about it for a while, he opened the lid and the hot steam dissipated. He reached out and threw one in it, but after a while, it was completely melted in the soup, and he closed his eyes.
Songsong, sorry...
In the camp, the table was ready to eat, and Song Song raised the curtains and came in, saying: "It's so fragrant, I'm already hungry." Mo Wei hurriedly got up and opened a chair for her, and said: " Songsong sit down, the dishes in the kitchen today are not bad."
Zhong Xia didn't speak on the side. She was a little shy and said: "Thank you, son." Mo Mirage took her bowl and scooped a spoonful of pigeon soup for her, and said: "This soup has been stewed for two hours, and now it's the best drink. It's great."
He winked at Zhong Xia again, before he came back to his senses, and agreed: "Yes, I personally stewed the girl, you have to taste it." Ye Songsong is extremely happy to hear that. Busy took a small spoon and drank slowly.
Zhong Xia's eyes were full of intolerance, Mo Mirage just didn't see it, and put a piece of tender meat into her bowl, "The meat is also very fresh, if you are hungry, eat more." She nodded and laughed. : "Well, you guys can eat too, brother brother."
The two moved the chopsticks to eat. Not long after, she followed her mind and looked a little confused. Zhong Xia worried: "What's the matter with you, is it uncomfortable?" She shook her head and said, "Xu Ye I've been a little tired these few days, so I feel sleepy."
Mo Xuan got up, put the bowls and chopsticks away, and said, "If this is the case, then you will go to bed first, and Brother Zhong and I will go out after we clean up." She smiled, "I'm sorry, but also said that I want my eldest brother to go with me today. Playing in the city, it seems to be tomorrow."
He stretched out his hand and touched the top of Ye Chungsong's hair, and said, "It won't get in the way. It will be the same if you go tomorrow."
After the two had collected it, they left the camp. Three of her maids were still standing outside the tent. Seeing the two came out, they only nodded at them and went in.
Zhong Xia said with some doubts: "Master, I always feel that these three are wrong." Mo Mirage nodded and said: "This king has also found out, like three wooden sculptures, lifeless."
After that, he took out two more turquoise pills for the antidote, took one immediately, and handed it to Zhong Xia. The two were discussing as they walked, but in a moment they reached the site where Li Yi drilled the soldiers.
In these days in Mobei, there is no shortage of food and grass, no shortage of military salaries, and the morale of the soldiers has increased. Mo mirages to the high platform beside Li Yi, saying: "You have done a good job these days. I want to thank you. "After hearing this, he clasped his fist and said, "This is what a humble post should do. Does the prince have any new plans?"
Mo Mirage pondered for a moment and then said: "At this time, Li Jin is afraid that he has relaxed a lot. Why don't we take this opportunity to send troops?"
Zhong Xia agreed: "The prince said that now is indeed the best opportunity."
Mo Mirage said again: "Also, Zhong Xia, you remember to keep the antidote for Lusong Pills on your body. You can take it to her when you see King Li Jin when you reach Qin Guan. She will start the whole day in these few days. The three maids find a chance and deal with it."
Although Zhong Xia's heart began to ache, but she had to reply: "I understand the humble duty, please rest assured, the prince."
It was night, he went to Ye Songsong’s camp and raised the curtain, but he didn’t see the three maids at all. He stepped forward and lighted candles. Only Ye Songsong fell asleep quietly. He had a bad feeling. Premonition.
He hurried to the main account and saw that Mo Mirage was preparing to undress, and said hurriedly: "Please forgive me, and I will disturb you late at night." Mo Mirage put on his clothes again and said, "It's not in the way, but you, in such a hurry. Came in, but what happened?"
Zhong Xia stepped forward two steps and whispered: "Song Song's three maids are gone." Mo Xiang couldn't help frowning, "Isn't the day still there? Send someone to look for them. There are guards all around. They are Won't leave the camp."
He nodded and passed the order to search the camp.
An hour later, Mo Mirage looked at the dozens of soldiers standing in front of the camp and said angrily: "It's just three people! How can you not find one?"
Li Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Master, this is too strange. We should speed up the arrangement to send troops to prevent the three of them from running back to Li Jin to report a letter or something. It will be in trouble at that time. If this is the case, just rush. It’s fine to reach Lijin before them."
Mo Mirage agreed: "You are right, it should not be too late, and we will leave tonight."
It was night, Zhong Xia had put on his jersey, he entered Ye Songsong’s room, reached out his hand to take the Diaoqiu cloak on the hanger, and slowly lifted her up, tied her gently, and touched it. Touch Ye Songsong's face.
He whispered: "I'm sorry, Songsong, I don't deserve to be your elder brother, I won't ask for your forgiveness, but in this last short period of time, I will definitely protect you and prevent you from being wronged. "
He bowed his head and kissed her on the forehead, then picked her up with his arms and walked out of the tent.
At this time, the army has been rectified. Mo Mirage and Li Yi rode at the forefront. Zhong Xia hugged and chanted and walked over slowly, and waited for Mo Mirage to say: "The humble post came a little late. Please forgive me."
Mo Mirage looked at his haggard face and couldn't bear it. He only said, "It's okay, you get on the horse. You will take care of Songsong on the way."
Zhong Xia hugged her on the horse, took the reins with both hands, protected her in her arms, and said: "Yes." Mo Mirage patted him on the shoulder again, and said in a deep voice: "Don't blame this king. In the battlefield, we must understand which is more important to gain or lose."
He wrapped his arms around Ye Chung tightly, and said: "This is a humble truth, and I have never blamed the prince. Let's go."
In the West Bridge Palace at this time, Qing Li was under a falling blossoming tree, her expression was a bit dazed, and there was no other person beside her. After all, Li Jin is a bold and unrestrained nation, and naturally it does not have as many etiquettes as Nanfeng City. .
After Yingying finished talking, he went back to the room but didn't see Qingli. When I asked, I found out that she had gone to Luohuayuan, so he searched alone. When he found Qingli, the scene in front of him made him feel uncomfortable, and the petals slowly fell. She just stood there quietly.
"Qingli, why do you look so unhappy?" He walked over.
Only then did Qing Li come back to his senses, and said softly, "No, I just remembered the past, it is inevitable that I feel a little bit emotional."
Ye Xiaoying stretched out her hand to brush the petals on her shoulders, and said: "Some pain will stay in my heart, but people still have to continue to move forward, right?"
Qing Li smiled and said, "I think you are always very happy." He curled his lips and said, "That's because I now got what I wanted, status, and other things."
Qing Li shook his head and said: "But I always feel that a life in an emperor's house is not happy at all, not to mention that you are still the king of Li Jin, and it must not be easy to get to this position now."
He didn't answer, but Ye Songsong's face suddenly appeared in Qing Li's mind, I don't know if she still simply likes Mo Mirage and the person who designed to hurt her.
He asked softly: "Do you have any brothers or sisters?" He nodded and said, "I have a younger sister, and I have been in a good relationship with her since childhood." Qingli was a little guilty, and continued: "Is she not in the palace? "
Yaying Ying smiled and said: "Her wildness, how can I stay, now I am afraid that I am playing elsewhere, I haven't seen her for three months."
Qing Li was a little surprised and said: "Aren't you worried about her safety outside? What's more, she's still a princess." He waved his hand and said, "She is very casual outside, and most people would never think that she is a princess, besides. She has someone to protect her, don't worry."
She thought that the person whom the eagle said was only the three maids, so it would be hard to ask more. He turned his head and said with some confusion: "Why do you suddenly remember to ask my sister?"
Qingli turned his head quickly, not daring to look at him, only said: "It's nothing, just ask." While the two were talking, they saw a dove flying towards him. They also grabbed the eagle and grabbed it and took a closer look. A roll of paper was tied to the pigeon's feet.
He took down the roll of paper and let go of the pigeon again. After reading it, Qing Li saw that he looked a little dignified and asked: "What's the matter." He stuffed the note into his cuff and laughed: " Mobei couldn't bear it anymore, and had secretly dispatched troops last night."
Qing Li immediately said anxiously: "How can it be so sudden?" He raised his head and looked at the sky, and said, "I had expected it as early as the night when Mo Mirage was assassinated. With his temperament, it would not be too long, really. As I expected."
Qing Li said worriedly: "Is it necessary to fight? Jiangshan, territory, power, these are really so important to you?"
Yingying also frowned and said: "You are right, but Qingli, I want to tell you that these are not important to me. What I really care about is that the people of Li and Jin can live a prosperous and peaceful life. For the sake of that. These have to go to war with the Central Plains."
Qing Li didn't understand, "You said it was for the people, but the consequences of the war are blood, life, and wives, so how can they get happiness?"
The eagle also said in a deep voice: "It seems that you are not really clear. When I did not succeed to the throne a few years ago, the Central Plains had been suppressing Li Jin. It can even be said that the people are not living, maybe my father and king are too incompetent. Therefore, there is only resistance. Now that Qin Guan is captured, the people's life will be easier. If I say this, can you understand Qingli?"
She lowered her head, yes, war from another angle is indeed for a better life, even if there will be sacrifices, there will be bloodshed.
She thought of Mo Mirage again, how hard it was for him to guard Qinguan all the time...
