After eating, it was two o'clock in the morning, the sounds of noisy insects and birds gradually fell silent, and the lights in the capital were few.
Li Gexiao opened a secret letter, handed it to Xiaomei, and said in a deep voice: "I have already arrived at Baihe. This place is high in the south and low in the north, and the valleys alternate with each other. It is a good opportunity for us to block it. This is written by the emperor himself." Confidential letter, let us assist in repelling the enemy."
Yunhe just came back from the palace, so he didn't know about this, so he moved to Xiaomei's side to read with him.
For more than ten days, they have been busy separately, and sometimes they didn't see each other for a day, Kuang Xiaomei deliberately avoided it, but now that they were approaching suddenly, he couldn't help feeling excited all over, he still couldn't avoid it after all.
Seeing his panicked expression, Yunhe asked softly, "Are you uncomfortable?"
Xiaomei shook her head.Li Gexiao and Sanniang Bupleurum also greeted each other one after another, and Xiaomei replied that it was all right.Yunhe didn't say anything else, they were too busy these days and didn't communicate well, he knew Xiaomei's sentimentality, maybe he should find a time to talk to him clearly.
Yunhe withdrew his thoughts and said: "Qiu Luan was doing bribery in Da Da, and he didn't fight in Huairou, and he drove south. Yan Song's party in the court is still eyeing. Even though the emperor's heart is like a mirror, he has to compromise. Today the emperor was discussing in the court and sent Yang Zeng to negotiate peace with me."
Li Ge laughed mockingly: "My answer was originally to ask me to open the city, and everyone was afraid that the civil engineering would happen again, so they didn't agree. Now that the soldiers are at the gates, what's the use of mending the dead?"
The rest of the people looked at Li Gexiao in amazement, the sharp Li Gexiao was indeed the sharp Li Gexiao, with unruly words and hit the nail on the head.
Bupleurum said: "That is to say, these dog officials know how to enjoy peace and happiness, bully the weak and fear the hard, and act like a tortoise when encountering things."
Sanniang strongly agreed: "That's right, a bunch of cowards."
The two were jealous like enemies, and forgot about Yunhe beside him, Xiaomei quietly raised her eyes to look at him, only to see that his expression was as usual, not angry.
Li Ge persuaded with a smile: "Of course we should be scolded, but now we have to take action. We don't know the chances of Yang Zeng's peace talks being successful. If I go back on my answer, the two armies will definitely go to war. We are outnumbered, so we can only do it first." Be prepared."
Several people nodded in agreement, Li Ge smiled and said: "It's not too late, we will set off for Baihe tomorrow, but everyone, going to fight against the enemy, there are many dangers, everyone must be fully prepared to protect your own safety."
"Well, we know."
In the dead of night, the chill began to strike.
Bupleurum went back to his room and saw that the candles in Xiaoyan's room were still bright, he couldn't help but smile: "This little girl, did you forget to turn off the light again?" Will I see Xiaoyan?While thinking about it, he burst into tears unconsciously. In his life, he had never really enjoyed the family happiness of husband and wife and children. Ever since he knew that Xiao Yan was his daughter, he was extremely grateful. God brought such a lovely daughter to him. Without him, he wants to live a happy and simple life with Xiao Yan, even if he does heavy physical work every day, he will be happy.
"Ah!" Bupleurum sighed softly, even if there are thousands of reluctance to give up, so what?Xiao Yan is with her parents, it is a complete family, she will grow up happily, and she lives in fear every day, it is not known whether there will be a tomorrow, she will only suffer if she follows her.Bupleurum, you don't deserve such a well-behaved daughter.Send her back tomorrow.
He was about to turn around and leave, when Xiao Yan called out in surprise: "Father?"
Bupleurum hurriedly wiped the wet eyes, Xiaoyan opened the door, saw him flustered, and asked, "What's wrong with you, Dad?"
Bupleurum smiled: "Hey, it's all right, but the eyes are a little dry and painful. I rubbed them twice. I was about to knock on the door to call you. Did you forget to blow out the candles when you were sleeping? Daughter, this is not possible, what a waste .”
Xiaoyan looked at him in disbelief. This is her father, Chai Xiaoyan, who is a big and thick boy. "Father, what's wrong with you? I didn't sleep at all."
"Didn't sleep?" Bupleurum was a little dissatisfied, "Daughter, how long has it been? Why don't you sleep? Don't get sick."
Xiao Yan didn't want to talk about these topics with him, so she pulled him into the room: "Father, you are here anyway, I have something to tell you. Come, come, sit down." She poured another cup of tea and handed it to him, "Father, you Drink tea."
Bupleurum felt something was wrong, and asked suspiciously, "What do you want to do?"
Xiao Yan sat down with a smile, looked at him, and asked expectantly: "Father, you said you are already old, do you really plan to find another mother for me?"
"Pfft!" Bupleurum sprayed tea all over the room, "Ahem, you..." Xiao Yan hurriedly patted him on the back: "You slow down, Dad, I'm serious."
"Ahem, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Xiao Yan sat down in front of him, "I'm not worried about you, you said you are so old, if you don't find a partner, who will take care of you in the future."
Bupleurum looked at his daughter lovingly: "My Xiaoyan grows up and will feel sorry for Dad. However, Xiaoyan, your father and I are used to being free and unrestrained, and we will not be used to having more people around us."
Xiaoyan's bright eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on her delicate face: "Hmph, you can't fool me. I know, you like sister Tongyue."
Bupleurum choked on another sip of tea, his expression shook, and he tried his best to hide: "What are you talking about, children are talking nonsense."
Xiao Yan persuaded: "Father, I have already seen it, so don't lie, or I will go and tell sister Tongyue tomorrow."
"Nonsense." Bupleurum slapped the table with a sharp tone, Xiao Yan was startled and stared at him blankly.
Bupleurum hurriedly regained his temper and softened his tone: "She is a serious girl, so her reputation cannot be ruined. I see that you have stayed here for a long time, and you will go back to your mother tomorrow."
Being ordered by Bupleurum, Xiao Yan also became a little angry, she knew that her father obviously liked him, but he refused to say it stubbornly, yelled at her, and now he wanted to drive her back, she felt even more aggrieved in her heart, with tears in her eyes With crystal tears in his eyes, he said angrily, "Do you want to abandon me that much? In your heart, what am I?"
Bupleurum was stunned, he didn't expect his daughter to be so sensitive, and he didn't know what to do for a while, he wanted to send her back, but he didn't know that she hit his mind right, he couldn't face it and had to pretend to be angry, but unexpectedly Xiaoyan would Thinking this way, this is also good, let her leave safely, no more nostalgia.He said: "You are my good daughter of Bupleurum, but...tomorrow, go back."
Xiao Yan's eyes were full of tears: "You really want to drive me away?"
"You have been out for so long, your mother still has to worry about you? Why are you so ignorant?"
Xiao Yan wiped away her tears, her pretty face became more and more aggrieved: "Okay, I'll go." Then she went to pack her things, "I'll go now."
"You..." Bupleurum had no choice but to feel distressed, but he could only ruthlessly suppress his desire to stay, and turned to leave.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the dew is heavy.
Bupleurum hurriedly went to Yunhe's sleeping hall. Seeing his worried face, Yunhe asked what was the matter, he hesitated for a long time, and then said: "My lord, I want to borrow two elite soldiers from you." Yunhe was puzzled, and he said: " Xiao Yan is a temper tantrum, I was going to send her back, how could I know that she lost her temper with me and is going to leave now, I am afraid that she will be in danger on the way, I would like to ask you to send two confidantes to escort her secretly. Tomorrow My Bupleurum will be the work of a dog and a horse for the prince." After speaking, he bowed and saluted, Yunhe hurriedly helped him up: "Brother Hu, there is no need to do this. Don't worry, I will definitely send someone to bring her safely."
Bupleurum said in a deep voice, "Thank you, my lord."
After this matter was settled, Bupleurum's worried expression faded away, Xiao Yan is too headstrong, if he can come back safely, he must explain the truth to her.But in the current situation, he was really worried. He hoped that Xiaoyan could go back safely and live a good life with her mother.
Yunhe watched the figure of Bupleurum go away, feeling a little bit of emotion, he is a father after all, and he is reluctant to part with his children.Yu Mo asked softly behind him: "What is the prince looking at?"
Yunhe turned around and replied in a low voice: "Chaihu told me to send someone to escort Xiaoyan back."
Yu Mo said: "Don't look at Brother Chai's informality on weekdays, but he is still very thoughtful when he is delicate."
Yunhe smiled slightly: "Parents love their son, and they have far-reaching plans for it. He didn't want Xiaoyan to suffer with him, so he sent her back just now." Yunhe paused, and said, "Yumo, this time, you stay in the palace .”
Yu Mo's eyebrows were lightly stunned, she stopped to tidy up her posture, and said, "My lord, I'm not Xiao Yan."
"But I am Bupleurum."
Yu Mo argues: "I don't agree."
Yunhe became a little hostile: "A brother is like a father."
Yu Moqian was slightly angry, and saluted him: "I can't obey my orders." She still turned around to clean up his softness.
Yunhe was a little helpless, this was the first time Yumo had acted in front of him.She tidied up and saluted in an orderly manner, treating him as nothing.Impatient, Yunhe stepped behind her, grabbed her folded wrist, and said, "Yumo, do you know how dangerous this operation will be? I don't want you to be involved."
Yu Mo looked at him firmly: "It is because I know that I want to live and die with you."
"It won't be that serious, we'll be back."
"My lord, even Brother Chai tried every means to send Xiao Yan back. Do you think I will trust you?"
"I only have you as a relative."
"I don't want to live alone either."
"Yu Mo, you are too unreasonable to make trouble."
"I won't be fooled."
"You..." Yunhe was finally speechless, the woman in front of her was not inferior to him in terms of literary talent and insight, how could he deceive her? "Yu Mo, I promise you, I will definitely come back safely."
For a long while, she still didn't speak, looked down at the ground, shed a clear tear and hit the stone ground, smudged into a lonely flower, Yunhe reached out and hugged her into his arms, comforting: "Don't cry, we Will be back."
Yu Mo didn't move, and let the tears flow: "I don't want to be scared every day."
Yunhe said softly: "Li Gexiao is so smart, can you still not trust him?"
Yu Mo didn't speak, and Yunhe comforted him again: "Okay, I swear to you, I will protect myself, and when we come back, we will go back to Gaomi together and never get involved in anything again."
Yu Mo got up from his arms, Yun He wiped away tears for her, she tried her best to hide her worry, and asked with a smile: "I finally met Xiaomei, are you willing to go back?"
Yunhe was stunned, a little helpless, Yingrong was a little surprised, when did Yumo know how to joke like this?But he knew that she was only worried and would cause chaos, and he didn't want to make her worry anymore, so he said unconfidently: "I will try my best to bring him back together."
Yu Mo's beautiful eyes were slightly startled, but she immediately covered them and nodded.
