It was raining outside the window.
The night wind, wrapped in water vapor, blew into the house from the crevice, adding a bit of coolness.
Yaoying changed her dress and sat in front of the lamp to dry her long hair little by little.
When Sultan hugged her, her whole body was stiff and cold, and her palms were also cold, so cold that she shuddered slightly, and now she still felt a little hot at the base of her neck where his palms were pressed against.
Is he really a stupor from an old injury
What a gaffe... why hug her? Don't hug other people
Yaoying sat there for a while, wrapped her long hair with a silk sash, wrote a brief letter, and called her personal guard: "Send the letter to General Ashina, saying that I want to see General Su, and ask him to help hand it over. ."
Instead of sitting here alone and thinking about it, it is better to ask Sultan Gu in person.
The personal soldiers went out with the letter, and just bumped into Bamir who came to pass the message.
"Princess, General Ashina invites you to come over."
Seeing his anxious expression, Yaoying put on her cloak and went out with him, "What happened?"
Bamir said: "General Su is ill, General Ashina asked the princess to come and see."
Yaoying was stunned, did Sultan Gu really suffer from an old illness
When he almost went crazy last time, he did hug her, and he hugged her in the middle of the night... That time, he was also cold, and he hugged her like a pillow.
The two walked across the courtyard with umbrellas, splashing water everywhere, hurried to a courtyard near the execution hall, and climbed up the stairs.
Bi Suo walked down with a lamp in his hand, and his eyes fell on Yaoying: "Invite the princess to come over late at night, please trouble the princess."
Yaoying took off her hood and asked, "How is General Su?"
Bi Suo smiled and bowed to her: "It's me who made the princess worry because I didn't think carefully. The prince regent was only sick for a while, but now it's better. I'm too reckless, and I apologize to the princess."
Yaoying was stunned and looked up at the door.
A tall and tall figure stood there, with a proud and vigorous figure, and the lights flickered. Half of his scarred face was bright, half of it was dark, and his blue eyes were deep and calm.
It was raining before the steps.
Yaoying looked at Sultan Gu, was silent for a while, and took a few steps forward, "General Su is better?"
He looked down at her and nodded: "I'm fine, the princess is worried, the princess please come back."
With that said, he turned to Bamir.
"Send the princess back."
The tone is cold.
Bamir respectfully should be.
Bi Su stood aside, not daring to make a sound.
A gust of wind blew, and the rain suddenly became heavier, and the raindrops hit the tile roof, making a crisp sound.
Yaoying stood in front of the steps and didn't speak for a while. If she wanted to ask him, there was no need to ask.
The raindrops splashed and wet the corners of her skirt. She closed her cloak and smiled: "The general will be fine. It's late at night. The general will return from the expedition, rest early, and I will go back."
Yaoying turned and left.
Bamir looked dazed and quickly followed.
After the two figures disappeared into the depths of the corridor, Tamara staggered back, holding onto the corridor pillars to stabilize her figure.
Bi Su stepped forward to help him.
He waved his hand, turned around and entered the room, staggered to the couch, and fell directly.
Bi Suo sighed, "King, why are you suffering..."
Tan Moraga took the medicine and woke up just now, and learned that he had invited Li Yaoying over, struggled to get up, and asked Li Yaoying to leave indifferently.
I just hugged the princess, and turned her head to be so cold to the princess again, without a word of explanation, no matter how good the princess is, she will be annoyed.
Tamara held on for a long time, and had already lost his strength, his consciousness became blurred again, his brows were wrinkled, and his forehead was full of cold sweat.
"Don't drag her in..."
Others do not know, suddenly murmured.
A practitioner should not disturb her in the mortal world. For him, it was all just a test, for her it was different.
No matter in what capacity he appeared in front of her, he should not cross the line.
He can't be wrong again and again.
Bi Suo shook her head and sighed, staying beside the bed with mixed feelings in her heart.
…
In the early morning of the next day, Tan Moraga woke up, and there was a blue light floating in front of the window.
The rain has stopped and the sky is bright.
He got up and, as usual every day, preached the doctor, took medicine, took off his turban, tore off the scar, took off his shirt, put on his cassock, found a string of beads, put it on his wrist, sat cross-legged in front of the Buddha statue, meditated and meditated. .
The hug in the rain yesterday was just a moment of forgetfulness.
The clouds disappear and the rain falls, the red sun comes out, the sun shines brightly, and everything disappears.
He read a few sutras, and Bi Su and Bamir came to report the matter.
"King, everything is fine in the city during this time..."
Bi Suo said with a complicated expression on his face.
"Speaking of which, thanks to Princess Wenzhao's presence."
Tamara raised his eyes.
Bi Suo gestured to Bamir, and Bamir said slowly: "When Haidu Aling launched a surprise attack, all the ministers in the court came to the king's temple. I went back to work. During the period, there were monks in the temple who asked to see him, and the young man found a reason to send them away according to the king’s instructions, and ordered the guards around the city gate to strengthen the vigilance, close the city gate, and everything was safe.”
There is sufficient food in the city, the Grand Chancellor issued a ban, and shops did not dare to raise prices. Everything was the same as usual, except that the city gate was closed.
"I didn't expect that there would be Beirong's fine works in the city. General Gelu and the others would not be able to capture Haidu Aling. The battle was stalemate, and the people were afraid. Those fine works spread rumors and made people into chaos. They took the opportunity to cause riots and instigated the people. Blast the city gates…”
"The Great Prime Minister led the officials to the city gate to dissuade the people. The people listened to the rumors that the Great Prime Minister had sent his family out of the city long ago, and they were going to leave the city. No matter how much the Great Prime Minister persuaded, it was useless. The soldiers guarding the city suddenly beat the people, and then they became a mess... Da Xiang brought people over to check the situation, and several women rushed out of the crowd, wanting to assassinate Da Xiang! Da Xiang was unprepared and was stabbed. Fortunately, the wound was very shallow, It's just broken."
Tanmaraka frowned slightly when he heard this.
After all, Da Xiang was too honest, he followed his instructions every step of the way, being faithful to being faithful, failing to adapt to changes, so as to be unable to quell small disturbances.
Bamir continued: "At this time, Princess Wenzhao suddenly appeared on the tower, and her personal soldiers rescued Da Xiang..."
That day, Li Yaoying suddenly appeared, rescued the great minister, stood on the tower and persuaded the people, saying that the Buddha had already arranged the defenders, Haidu Aling would never be able to enter the holy city, and the people would be suspicious.
Thinking of the scene that day, Bamir couldn't help but betray him: "Wang, what do you think the princess did?"
Tamaroka glanced at him lightly.
Bamir felt agitated, remembering that he was reporting things, not bragging with his colleagues, and hurriedly said with a straight face: "Princess has been paying attention to the movement in the city, and when she heard the news, she rushed over. She stood on the tower and pointed at the crowd. The most vicious people, without saying a word, let her personal soldiers tie those people up!"
Li Yaoying appeared in men's clothes, with a face towel on her face. Her personal soldiers started to arrest people, and the people in the city were in an uproar. She was not afraid of the people's advice and discussion, and exposed the identities of those meticulous works on the spot. At that time, she began to investigate secretly, just waiting for those meticulous works to jump out by herself, and she was able to catch them all.
At this time, Bamir heard that there was a riot in front of the city gate, and sent the monks and soldiers of the Wang Temple to deal with them. The people trusted the monks and soldiers, and saw that the few fine works were exposed on the spot under the questioning of the personal soldiers, and they dispersed.
After that, no matter what rumors came out, the people regarded it as Bei Rong Xizuo making troubles and stayed at home one by one.
A false alarm caused him to become more alert, and he issued several bans in succession. Not only was there a curfew at night in the city, but during the day there was also martial law everywhere. It was not until the day before yesterday that the army was about to triumph, and the ban was lifted.
After Bamir finished speaking, he retreated to the door.
Tamaroka lowered her eyes and said nothing, turning the beads with her fingers.
Bi Suo replied, "Wang... Princess Wenzhao has sent her personal soldiers back and forth between the holy city and the river valley to deliver news to Gelu and the others. She has been guarding Haidu Aling."
The movement of Tamara Ka's hand stopped.
"Why didn't anyone report it?"
he asked softly.
Bi Suo said in a low voice, "The princess showed herself as my advisor, Bayan. General Gelu and the others didn't know that she was Princess Wenzhao. The prime minister thought she was just a clerk in my house."
On the way back from Shacheng to the Holy City, Li Yaoying never revealed her identity, only Bamir and Prajna knew that she had returned to the city.
Bamir thought that Tanmaraka knew about this, so he didn't think of writing a letter to report it.
A ray of morning light entered the meditation room, cut through the desk, and fell on the cassock of Tamara, with a faint golden light.
He was silent for a long time and asked Bamir, "When did Princess Wenzhao come back?"
Bamir thought for a while and said, "It's been almost a month... Before Haidu Aling launched the surprise attack, the princess came back."
Tamaroka stood up, walked to the window, and stared at the courtyard.
That is to say, after Yaoying left the army, she immediately rushed back to the holy city without stopping.
At that time, no one knew how many men and horses Haidu Aling would bring.
She was so afraid of Haidu Aling, knowing that he would launch a surprise attack, she came without hesitation.
Why did she come back
…
After half an hour, the small courtyard.
The heavy and vast bells rang through the Wang Temple, the morning sun poured, and the golden light on the top of the pagoda shimmered.
Hearing the bell, Yaoying, who was writing at her desk, raised her head.
The little novice in the yard smiled and said, "Princess, our Buddhist son is out!"
Yaoying put down her pen, walked to the door, and looked in the direction of the grotto.
In the bright morning light, the towering grottoes are plated with a golden halo, which looks solemn and holy.
A burst of hurried footsteps approached, and Bamir came over: "Princess, the king invites you to the Zen room."
Yaoying packed up and followed Bamir to the Zen room.
Entering the arch, a tall figure in the depths of the corridor walked towards the several people, and the sword on his waist reflected a path of precious light. A leopard covered in ancient money patterns followed him, its paws falling on the lotus-patterned brick floor, light and silent.
Bamir stopped and saluted the man, "Prince Regent."
The man hummed, his eyes swept across Yaoying, his back turned to the sun, his blue eyes looked slightly darker than usual.
Yaoying looked at him and didn't step forward, "Is the general feeling better today?"
Sultan Gu nodded slightly.
The leopard beside him raised his head, the yellow leopard squinted slightly, suddenly stepped forward, raised his paws to hook Yaoying's skirt.
"Ali."
The man drank.
The leopard retracted its claws, shrugged, jumped on the railing, and ran away with its tail drooping.
The man greeted Yaoying and walked away.
Yaoying watched him go away and asked Bamir, "General Su is going out of the city?"
Bamir said: "The king is out of the customs, and the regent is ordered to go to Izhou to pursue the Wakhan Khan and the remnants of Beirong, and we will set off today."
Yaoying frowned slightly, and while continuing to walk towards the Zen room, she looked back.
At the door, Prajna greeted her with a smile and whispered, "Princess, the king has left the customs. The princess has done a good job a few days ago, and the king will definitely reward the princess."
Yao Ying didn't speak, her eyes went over his shoulder and looked at the Zen room.
The hall is filled with fragrance, the space is wide and clear, and a man sits cross-legged in front of the book desk to review and review the sparseness.
She stepped forward.
"Mage."
Tamara Gay hummed and motioned her to take a seat.
Yaoying looked around, there was a short case next to the long case, which was the book case she used when she stayed in the Zen room before.
She walked over and sat down, looking up at Tamara.
His brows are sparse, the bridge of his nose is high, his outline is clear, his eyebrows are quiet, and he doesn't seem to be dirty, and he looks like a Buddha statue just by looking at his face.
Tan Mo Luojia raised his eyes and met Yaoying's thoughtful gaze, and said, "Haidu Aling has gone to Gaochang, Yuanjue has already gone south, and he will warn Gaochang."
Yaoying recovered herself and said, "Thank you, Master."
Haidu Aling fled to the south, she was not surprised at all. Wang Ting's city is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In order to preserve his strength, he will not force a siege, but will only create riots by sneak attack. When he heard that Wakhan Khan was defeated, he would not hesitate to withdraw his troops and flee south. For him at the moment, it was obviously more important to take the opportunity to gather the remaining soldiers and strengthen his forces than to relieve Wakhan Khan.
Tamaroka lowered his head and opened a book of notes.
"I heard from Bamir that the princess helped the prime minister to maintain order in the city, and arrested a few Bei Rong craftsmen."
Yaoying smiled and said, "I just arrested a few people. The interrogation, verification, and maintenance of order are all handled by the prime minister and Bamir."
She was worried about the poisonous schemes of Haidu Aling, who specifically stared at suspicious people in the city, so she reacted a little faster than the Chancellor and Bamir.
Tamara Raja picked up the pen to write, "Why did the princess return to the holy city?"
His tone was calm, as if he was just asking casually.
Yaoying looked calm, and said lightly: "General Ashina invited me to accompany the army because I know Haidu Aling, Haidu Aling is going to attack the holy city, of course I can't avoid it... The Master has given me such a great deal of gratitude as a mountain, and I too I want to do my best for the mage."
She paused and looked at the pen in Tamara's hand, "I came back for the mage."
The nib on the paper does not stagnate in the slightest, and the writing action is elegant and smooth.
Looking at the spread out silk cloth, Tamaroka wrote calmly, without the slightest wave on his face.
