To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 214 Volume 4 Subtracting Word Magnolia

You Miao looked a little unnatural, Li Zhifeng understood, and changed the subject.

Li Zhifeng: "You are not familiar with the prince."

"Yes." You Miao had to admit that Li Yan was indeed a better candidate than him.

Nie Dan asked again: "Second brother, will you escort Li Yan there?"

Li Zhifeng nodded, and Nie Dan said, "Promise me, you will protect them well."

"Understood." Li Zhifeng nodded slightly.

Nie Dan said happily: "This way, I don't have to worry about my brother anymore."

Li Zhifeng: "Don't say that, brother, you still have a chance to contribute to the country."

"I'm tired." Nie Dan sighed, "I know it's not fair to you to put the burden of the frontier on your shoulders. As the prince of the Quanrong tribe, there is really no need to work hard for Tianqi..."

Li Zhifeng stopped talking, and replied: "I also made a promise with my third brother for Ziqian's sake."

Nie Dan smiled and patted Li Zhifeng on the shoulder.

"If everything is properly arranged, when the prince returns, he will be a servant, and he will not do anything to the third younger brother." Nie Dan said: "You can rest assured. No matter what the situation is, I will make a difference. When the Central Plains is recovered, I will No matter, seal the gold and hang the seal, live the life of ordinary people, get married, set up two acres of Susukida, plant the fields, and raise chickens."

You Miao didn't speak all the time, always vaguely felt that there was something wrong, and she didn't listen to what Nie Dan said before, until she stopped talking at this sentence.What did Nie Dan mean?

You Miao's heart skipped a beat, realizing that Nie Dan most likely wanted to start a family.

And if you want to start a family, you mostly fall in love with someone, who else?Only Qiao Rong?

You Miao's calculations have always been clear in his mind. He can guess the second half of the first sentence after others say it, and then said: "What land should I buy? From now on, this restaurant and [-]% of the land in Jiangbo Villa will belong to you. Big brother, you." The implication was that she wanted to seal a priceless dowry to Qiao Rong.

Nie Dan understood as soon as he heard it, and immediately laughed and said: "No need! Big brother is not a door-breaker, and I have saved a little bit over the years."

Li Zhifeng was a little dazed at first, but then he understood a little bit, and said with a smile: "I'm the one who stuck in the door."

Nie Dan couldn't help laughing, and said again: "In the future, Jiangbo Villa will follow you together, and go to the Quanrong tribe as a dowry, that's all."

You Miao blushed, Li Zhifeng was just happy.The three brothers drank against the moon, and You Miao couldn't help but think, it would be nice if Zhao Chao was there.However, Zhao Chao was willing to listen to none of the things they talked about today—whether it was about taking back the prince, or everyone discussing retirement, it seemed that he was excluded.

Thinking of this, You Miao still felt that Nie Dan was not kind to Zhao Chao's younger brother.

Whether it was when Zhao Chao was still the third prince, or now that he is enthroned as the emperor, Nie Dan seemed to place too many high hopes on him.Zhao Chao is like a child with strict parents and elder brothers.From childhood to adulthood, no one hurts, no one loves.When things are done well, no one praises them; when things are done badly, they are always punished.

And everyone felt that these were Zhao Chao's duties, and it was taken for granted.Even Nie Dan is like this.You Miao wanted to ask Nie Dan, but felt that Nie Dan treated Zhao Chao ruthlessly, and he treated himself even more ruthlessly.He never takes credit for his victories. Over the years, perhaps Nie Dan has restrained Zhao Chao the same way he restrained himself.

That night You Miao often wondered why Nie Dan favored Li Zhifeng, maybe it was because Li Zhifeng had no responsibility for the entire Tianqi.So no matter what Li Zhifeng did, it was not his job.As for You Miao, Zhao Chao, and even Nie Dan himself, the strict requirements are precisely because the revival of the apocalypse and the survival of the country are their duties.

The truth is that, everyone knows it, but You Miao always feels that not only Nie Dan, but also the way of the world treat Zhao Chao, the emperor, too unfairly.If it were You Miao herself, she couldn't help but have the opposite mentality.

The three brothers drank until the fourth watch, when You Miaofang and Li Zhifeng went back to their room.Under the candlelight, hugging Li Zhifeng and You Miao in his arms, both of them were reluctant to sleep.You Miao knew that Li Zhifeng would go back to the front line at dawn, and this trip would last at least three to five months.

"What are you thinking? You've been depressed since you drank." Li Zhifeng asked.

You Miao replied: "I'm thinking about my third brother."

As soon as You Miao said, Li Zhifeng understood.

"It's also a good thing for him." Li Zhifeng said: "Let go of the heavy responsibility on your shoulders and hand it over to the prince. He can get away and live a life without being restrained."

"You all think too simple." You Miao murmured: "You and Brother Nie are both generals, and you are good at leading troops to fight, but you have never been in touch with strife and intrigue, so you don't understand .As long as the prince comes back, he will definitely not allow Zhao Chao to dangle under his nose, let alone he has our support."

"Oh?" Li Zhifeng said, "So?"

You Miao said: "So the good situation is: the crown prince will not let him lead the troops, and restore the previous situation in Beijing."

Li Zhifeng asked back: "Isn't that good? We can live in peace."

You Miao couldn't laugh or cry: "Do you think he is satisfied with the old life?"

Li Zhifeng said: "I don't understand why he is not satisfied."

You Miao poked Li Zhifeng's head, and Li Zhifeng tilted his head and looked at him playfully. You Miao said seriously: "We have a family, a life we ​​can rely on each other, and we also want to live in peace. So For you, for me, it’s the same wherever you live. It’s the same in the villa. It’s always good to go to the days of wandering in the clouds and wild cranes, as long as you and I are by my company. Doing so many things now is just a matter of responsibility. .”

"No." Li Zhifeng replied.

"But what about him?" You Miao said, "What's on his mind? After he abdicated, did he spend his days in the city drunk and dreaming? From the beginning to the end, he was alone. He might think that life is meaningless. It doesn't matter if you die, the only thing that matters is the promise we made when we became sworn brothers. As a result, the elder brother made him the emperor when he needed someone to take charge of the overall situation, and now that the crown prince is back, he has to be let down again."

"Understood." Li Zhifeng said.

You Miao sighed again: "He got angry at me last time, saying that we wait until the matter is over and the Central Plains is recovered, and everyone will leave, and he is still the only one left."

Li Zhifeng said: "If he abdicates, it is also possible to reserve a place for him in Jiangbo Villa."

You Miao said: "An even worse possibility is that the prince will put him under house arrest to avoid trouble. Another possibility is that the prince will find a way to kill him."

Li Zhifeng sighed, nodded, without making any judgments, You Miao said in a low voice again: "He has already expected this situation, so..."

You Miao told about the plan with Zhao Chao that day, and Li Zhifeng was puzzled, "Then why did he send Li Yan there again?"

You Miao said: "Maybe it's because I think Li Yan and the eldest brother can't get along, or maybe it's because I think I might be coaxed by the prince. But no matter who goes to the envoy to negotiate peace, you are responsible. After all, you are the guard. Once the prince Zen position, you will offend big brother. At that time, we and him, brothers will have nothing to do."

Li Zhifeng said: "I don't care, of course it depends on you, whoever you want can be the emperor."

"Okay." You Miao said with a smile.

Li Zhifeng: "I didn't feel sorry for him, besides, all he wanted was me to protect the crown prince and the old emperor, not their throne."

Everything is very simple in Li Zhifeng's eyes.You Miao just found it indescribably amusing.I feel better again.

Its daybreak.

Li Zhifeng changed into the armor in front of the mirror, and You Miao waited on him to put on the armor.

You Miao smiled and said: "It's you who serve me, and I finally serve you once. When can I come back? After I come back, I will dress you every day and be your slave."

Li Zhifeng said to You Miao in the mirror: "I will as soon as possible. The letter sent a few days ago said that Li Yan is already on the way. I want to return to the barracks as soon as possible, lest they can't find anyone when they arrive, and they will be recruited again." One."

"No one dares to join you now." You Miao said happily: "You can round and flatten Li Yan at will, and you are the only general left in the court. Who would dare to trouble you?"

Li Zhifeng nodded and said: "After this matter is over, I will personally escort the prince back, and stay in Maocheng by the way, not to go out."

You Miao and Li Zhifeng kissed together, You Miao reluctantly said: "I'll wait for you to come back."

Li Zhifeng whispered: "I love you, Ziqian."

That sentence suddenly moved You Miao's heart, and the overwhelming emotions surged in his heart, drowning all his memories.

"I love you too, Xanadu, my prince." You Miao whispered.

When Li Zhifeng heard this sentence, he was slightly startled at first, and then his eyes were filled with indescribable complex emotions. He hugged You Miao tightly in his arms and kissed him wantonly until there was a bloody smell between their lips. Let go of You Miao, push the door and leave.

Before dawn, the prince of Quan Rong embarked on the journey again for his lover.

There is a waning moon in the sky, the light of dawn shines on the earth, and every family gets up early to open their doors.

You Miao sat in front of the porch, didn't sleep all night, but didn't feel tired at all. He knew that Li Yan was on his way to the front with Zhao Chao's peace talks documents, and he also knew that after Li Zhifeng returned to the barracks, the follow-up incident was about to set off a new apocalypse. stormy sea.

Nie Dan, You Miao, Li Zhifeng, Zhao Chao, the crown prince, Li Yan, Pingxi...the Zhengshitang, the Sixth Department, the imperial court, the military...everyone will be sucked into this vortex, and no one can escape.This may be the biggest difficulty Tianqi has faced since establishing a new dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the far north, the homeland has not yet been regained, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers are still waiting for the coming war.

For a whole month in Chang'an, the sound of thousands of households pounding clothes, the endless spring breeze blows, it is always the love of jade, when will the barbarians be pacified, and the beloved stop the expedition?
