When I heard his words, I froze for a moment, and the hand that was originally stretched out towards the curtain slowly retracted.

Li'er was still crying in Mammy's arms, with a flushed face and a look of grievance. Her soft and tender hands desperately stretched out to me, grabbing and grabbing in the air, but couldn't catch anything.

She cried louder.

Seeing my daughter like this made me feel like I was in a knot, but I could only forcefully lower the curtain to block out her cries.

Although I can't bear it, I also know that Yuan Yichu is right.

No matter whose daughter it is, she must live strong in such an era. For example, her mother, if I were a little weak, would have been bullied long ago. The man in front of me does not seem to be a soft-hearted person.<

/p>

Compared to the delicate flowers in the greenhouse, I hope my daughter is a tree standing tall in the wind.

After a while, the guards outside came over to report that everything was ready. Yuan Yichu gave the order, and the carriage staggered forward. Li'er cried even louder. I couldn't help but want to look back several times.

, but was grabbed hard by the man next to him, and he could only sit down after all.

Li'er's cries gradually became distant.

The howling wind blew from the north, mixed with the smell of dust and sand. It seemed that I could smell the smell of blood and the coldness of swords and iron in the wind. I lifted the curtain and looked forward. Under the dim sky, the sunset was about to set, and the blood was red.

The sunshine fills the road in front of you, leading to a very far distance.

There is Dongzhou, the northernmost border town of China!

It was now, at the place where the fighting was most intense, that I looked at the dim sky, and I felt a little uneasy for some reason. At this moment, a loud and long cry came from the sky. When I looked up, I saw a

The eagle flew from afar, circled twice above our motorcade, fluttered down, and landed on Yang Yunhui's outstretched arm.

It is an eagle used to deliver messages.

Yang Yunhui took out something from the copper tube on the eagle's talon, unfolded it and looked at it, with a smile in his eyes. He took the raw meat from the servant and fed it to the eagle, handed it to someone else, and then rode his horse and walked over.

Next to our carriage, he leaned down and said: "Third brother."

Yuan Yichu closed his eyes and said "hmm" without moving.

"Huang Tianba has settled the matter in Yangzhou. According to news from the border, Yaolao's group of people have all gone back."

As soon as I heard Huang Tianba's name, my heart moved. Yuan Yichu also opened his eyes and said with some surprise: "His movements are really fast."

"Yangzhou is his place after all."

Yuan Yichu sneered and asked: "Now, has he gone to Beijing to report on his work?"

"We are already on the way. The affairs in the south will be left to Wei Ningyuan for the time being."

"Hmm."

He nodded and waved his hand, and Yang Yunhui let go of the curtain and rode away. At this time, Yuan Yichu turned his head and looked at me. I didn't have any reaction after hearing their words. I just looked at the scenery outside indifferently. Suddenly

A gust of wind blew up, bringing sand and dust to my face. Sand got into my eyes, and I let out an "um" sound. I lowered my head and started to rub my eyes.

As soon as I raised my hand, he caught it and pulled me into his arms: "Let me take a look."

As he spoke, he held my face and looked down into my eyes. The two of us were so close, and his breath blew on my face, which was slightly hot. My face suddenly turned red, but my waist

Being held by one of his hands, I had no choice but to let him hold me like this. After struggling for a long time, I finally blew away the annoying sand.

I have to break away in a hurry.

But his hands tightened harder and harder, with a smile in his eyes: "What's wrong? What are you afraid of?"

I was so anxious that my ears were red, and I couldn’t struggle hard. After all, it was in broad daylight, and if I made any noise and people outside heard it, I didn’t want to be a human being, so I lowered my voice and said, "Hurry up and let go."

Open."

"Why?"

"You are shameless and I want more!"

He seemed shocked that I would scold him like this. He was stunned for a moment, then grabbed me harder and sneered: "You are my woman, why am I so shameless when I treat you like this?"

"You——!"

I was so angry at this man's shamelessness that I couldn't speak. I just gritted my teeth and used every ounce of my strength to struggle, but he was suddenly pressed against the car board. The back of my head hit the soft couch, although it didn't hurt.

, but it shocked me for a while.

He pressed on me, looked down into my eyes, and said: "You are my woman, there is nothing shameful about you."

"..."

"Everyone in the world should know that you belong to me!"

"...!"

I was pressed tightly against him, and looking at the rock-firm expression in those dark eyes, I suddenly felt frightened. Those eyes seemed to be swallowing me up.

We were walking at night, and the smoke and dust raised along the way were lost in the night. When we woke up from the groggy state, the morning light was already shining, and we could hear the noisy voices of people and the neighing of horses in the distance.

I sat up in a daze and found that there was no one in the carriage.

Where have they gone? I suddenly woke up and hurriedly stood up and opened the curtains. The sun suddenly filled the entire carriage. Only then did I see clearly that the convoy had stopped under a tall city, and all the soldiers and generals around them knelt down and worshiped.

On the ground, everyone held their breath and solemnly, while Yuan Yichu stood on the wide avenue in front of the carriage, looking at the scene in front of him indifferently.

After a while, two people hurriedly walked out of the city gate.

The city gate is tall and the road is wide, but the two people walked on each side. One was Yang Yunhui, and the other was a tall man, half a head taller than Yang Yunhui. His face was as hard as a rock, his mouth and nose were wide, and his face was covered with curly beard.

, holding a tiger-mouthed sword on his waist, and looking resolute and mighty in his armor. Compared with Yang Yunhui, he has a tiger-like aura.

As soon as he saw Yuan Yichu, he immediately showed a solemn expression on his face, knelt down and said: "I would like to pay my respects to General Chang Qing -" He paused here, and then continued: "I would like to pay my respects to you, sir."

"General Chang, please rise."

As soon as Yuan Yichu raised his hand, the general named Chang Qing stood up. His tiger eyes revealed a strong evil aura. He was the kind of warrior who was used to fighting on the battlefield. Compared with people like Yang Yunhui, he was more charming.

Smelling with blood, it looked like the flowers and trees were withering wherever he looked. As soon as he stood up, he looked at me, and I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.

But such a person is extremely respectful to Yuan Yichu.

I couldn't help but feel a little strange in my heart. I had never asked him carefully what official position he held. Imperial Envoy is not a permanent official position, but to be awarded the title of Imperial Envoy, his official rank must be not low. But what kind of official title can make the commander in charge of the three armies

The general is so courteous?

What kind of person is my husband?

I looked at Yuan Yichu's back with some confusion. He stepped forward and said, "How is the war going?"

"Hui-hui, sir, three days ago, General Mo defeated Shengjing's troops heading south at Mu River, blocked the Yunling front line, and expelled everyone."

"What else will they do?"

A trace of cruelty flashed across Chang Qing's dark face, and he said: "The spies reported that after Shengjing's troops withdrew from the border, they were still entrenched in Yunling, but they did not go south again in the past two days, but they were always ready to make a move. I'm afraid they will still be there.

I have a plan, Your Majesty - when you come to Dongzhou this time, it is better to be careful, for fear of——"

"It doesn't matter."

Yuan Yichu waved his hand lightly, seemingly not paying any attention to the 400,000 troops in front of him, and said: "I just said you were at Ximen, what are you doing?"

"Sir, another group of people went south today, seeking to enter the city and return to their hometowns. The general was worried, so he went to inspect them personally."

"Oh?" Yuan Yichu raised his eyebrows and said, "Who are they?"

"Merchant travelers are checking customs clearance documents."

Yuan Yichu thought for a moment and said, "Take me over and have a look."

Chang Qing hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but Yuan Yichu ignored him and turned back to the carriage and said to me: "Come down."

"What to do?"

"Come with me there."

I frowned, what's the matter with this man? It seems that the more dangerous the place, the more he wants to take me with him. Although I am not afraid of death, he is not afraid of my death.

Although I was angry, this was the Dongzhou camp after all, and I couldn’t shame him in front of so many people. I could only hold back my breath and got out of the car and followed him. When I passed by Chang Qing,

This rude man glanced at me, his eyes were somewhat cold, he cupped his fists at me and said, "Madam."

Does this general know me? But judging from his face, he is not friendly either.

I nodded to him in front of me and followed Yuan Yichu inside.

Throughout the dynasties, Dongzhou has been a border fortress. The gray walls stand tall and dilapidated, but they also look dilapidated. You can even see some obvious sword scratches on them, as well as traces of fire, all of which indicate that this city is

What I have experienced, the baptism of war.

The same is true at the west city gate. There are even some wounded soldiers under the city wall, but these are not enough to attract Yuan Yichu's attention.

He stood on the high city wall and watched condescendingly as the gate opened and a large number of people slowly walked in from the outside. Each and every one of them had traces of war smoke on their faces. They looked exhausted, but because they could go back

He was home, and he showed a happy expression and walked in happily.

With such a large influx of people, the soldiers guarding the city below also became nervous. They hurriedly set up wooden fences and began to check their customs clearance documents. After checking one clearly, they put it in.

Seeing the scene below, I sighed softly and couldn't help but raise my head and look towards the north.

The morning light shone down, illuminating the wilderness ahead in the distance, and at the end of the horizon, a mountain ridge emerged from the dust in the sky, like a lying lion. Although it was silent and motionless, it carried an unparalleled intimidation.

Where is Shengjing’s 400,000-strong army entrenched?

And further north of Yunling is Shengjing, the former hometown of the royal family. I wonder what kind of scenery and people there will be.

At this moment, a person's name suddenly popped into my mind - Yuan Xiu.

These days, there is a person that Yuan Yichu and Yang Yunhui often talk about. Although they often talk about it, the two people's expressions and tone seem to be secretive. It seems that this person has an unusual identity. Even talking about him will give people a sense of

I feel depressed, wondering what kind of person he is?

While I was thinking, suddenly, I felt a gaze looking at me.

It is warm and soft, like the sun shining through the clouds, shining warmly on people's bodies, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility.

Who is it?
