MTL - Emperor’s Conquest-Chapter 54 Loyalty
The nocturnal diaphragm was deeper, and everything was quiet.
I retired the maid and coaxed the two children to sleep alone. Xiaoxiao took care of playing with her fingers, and Cheer was already asleep. In his sleep, the little man frowned slightly, looking like a serious look, with the shadow of Xiao Yan. Want to kiss his little face, but afraid to wake him up. I crouched in front of the cradle and stared at the children. The more I looked, the sweeter and the more I looked at. It's been ten years since I didn't realize the secret change, self-marriage and Xiao Yan. Ten years later, my life has returned for several decades.
From fifteen cardamom to twenty-five fragrant flowers, the ignorant girl married into the gate and followed him all the way, being a wife and mother, endless ups and downs of joy and sorrow, all in this decade. To remember, but fleeting.
In retrospect, when I entrusted my life to this man, I can't remember.
Is it on the cliff outside Saisai, the horror of life and death, or the adversity in chaos? Destined to meet him, he never had a chance to resist. And have I really resisted? At the moment when he jumped across the sword and jumped down from the platform, did I hesitate to resist?
As early as the day of the army, from the first glance at seeing him, have I unknowingly engraved that figure into my heart?
When Ningshuo reunited, the figure that stood out from the sky burned my eyes more than the flames.
"You are my princess and the woman who has been with me in this life. I don't allow you to be weak." Looking at men in the world, I am afraid that only he can love a woman in this way. This sentence turned out to be a curse of my life. Since then, I have been tied to him, moving forward and back together, with the same hardships, there is no room for cowardice to retreat.
The candle tears in front of them were drooping, and every bit of tears were away from the human body, prompting people to break their intestines.
"Adult stay, the princess has rested!" The sound of people walking outside was disturbing my mind.
"Who's making a noise?" I stepped out of the inner room and gently opened the door, lest I woke up the child.
Almost three hours later, Song Huaien was in front of the door.
Under the moonlight, he could not see his face, but he saw that he was not dressed properly, and seemed to have just run from home.
"What happened?" I asked blurtly.
"Princess ..." He took a step forward, holding a thin, Chu-Red booklet in his hand, which was a secret pass to convey emergency military information.
Song Huai'en looked directly at me. His face had never been so pale, and his voice was different from usual. "I just received the 800-mile-plus urgent military report. A few days ago, the northern border changed. Yin Xun! "
I froze for a moment, and suddenly came to understand, with a bang in my ear, clearly seeing that his lips were closed, but he couldn't hear what he said.
Who is holding me, holding my hand tightly.
Breathing in a breath, I broke away from the person beside me and reached out to grab the secret fold in his hand.
"At present, the situation is unknown, and the princess must not be dismayed ..." Song Huai'an hurriedly said.
"Give me!" I was suddenly angry, and the splitter took the fold, and the entry was clear, but I couldn't understand it, and suddenly I didn't recognize a word. Someone beside me kept saying something to me, I couldn't understand, I just wanted to understand what was written on the paper. Too noisy, the buzzing of people around me made me dizzy, and cold sweat kept coming out ... I didn't say a word, and suddenly ran back into the room, blocking everyone out.
The black and white words under the lamp, one by one, seemed to float on the paper, constantly jumping and changing, causing pain in the eyes.
Xiao Yan received a secret letter, knowing that Hu's rebellion, immediately detained Hu Guanglie, and imprisoned for the crime of disobedience.
Unexpectedly, the news had not leaked yet. Hu Guanglie led a team of relatives to kill the camp and fled west at night.
Xiao Yan led the army to chase himself in anger, rushed hundreds of miles overnight, and went deep into the dead, eventually killing all the members of Hu Guanglie.
On the way back to the camp, the sky suddenly changed, and the Blizzard suddenly arrived. The Turks took the opportunity to attack the rear army.
Retreating to the mountain pass, the snowfall collapsed, the forward army had run into the valley, and lost track of it.
Lines of handwriting gradually floated, but my own hands were shaking.
The eyes were dark, and I could not see them anymore. The world was spinning, and the darkness was pressing down on me.
Impossible, this is not true, anyone can fail, Xiao Yan must not! He is God, a God of War that cannot be defeated! What is called "lost trace" is obviously nonsense, but temporarily blocked by Blizzard, he will definitely return to camp safely, and there will be nothing wrong! I fight my last will to support the table edge, as if there is a faint and clear voice in my heart, "He will come back ... I will wait for him to come back!"
No, I can't fall now, I can't stand anymore.
The door was pushed open, and they rushed in eagerly.
Whose voice was crying, as if it came from a long distance, I turned blankly, "What are you crying for?"
In front of me were Song Huai'en and Aunt Xu, who seemed to be shocked by my look and stayed there.
I stared at her, "Master Wang is fine, what are you crying for!"
"Go out." I raised my finger at the door. "All go out for me."
I have to think about it all, it shouldn't be like this, it can't be like this, there must be something wrong, it must be wrong, it is they who made a mistake. However, I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I clearly felt wrong, but there was another blank in my mind. I ca n’t think of anything else. I ’m full of Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun ... How can you go wrong? You promised me that you will come back well, and you will come back before the children will call the first "daddy".
The shadows in front of me were so dazzling that I could hardly see them. I held the table and tried to make myself stand.
"This is the end, Princess Wangwang is sad!" Song Huai'en's eyes were red, and he took a step forward to help me.
"Stop!" I bit my lip fiercely, grabbed the tea cup on the table and threw it, and he flashed his head and shattered it by the door.
He paused, bowed his head, and retreated silently.
Aunt Xu knelt down and begged me to be treasured.
Suddenly wow, Xiaoxiao was awakened, followed by Cheer crying.
I was shocked, rushed into the inner room, and saw the two children at a glance. The whole body strength suddenly seemed to be drained, and I fell softly by the cradle, and even the strength to hold them was gone. Aunt Xu followed in, hurriedly picked up Xiaoxiao, and stretched out her hands to seduce Che. I looked straight at her, and looked at the two children, but could not do anything, and was suddenly annihilated by despair. The maid came in and took the two children out. Aunt Xu embraced me with tears. "My poor grandma ..."
Let her hold me and cry, but I have no tears at all, and the whole person is empty. Xiao Yun, how can you do this ... In the letter that day, I also whispered that Xiaoxiao was very smart and learned the language, probably it shouldn't take long to learn to call it father. Although I never wrote a word of urgency, between words, where is not Yin Yin, where is not Acacia.
Xiao Yan, do n’t you see my mind, you do n’t see my concern?
I paused, something flashed in my head, and hit my head.
A secret letter is a secret letter.
I was shocked, and suddenly my heart was full of thoughts. I slowly pushed Aunt Xu away, "You go out, I'm fine, let me be alone!"
Aunt Xu stayed awake, stood up trembling, and pulled away, and Song Huaien and the left and right people all retreated cleanly.
I held my forehead, my head was in a mess, and there were vaguely important things suddenly coming out, but I couldn't catch the clue.
The secret account mentioned that Xiao Zhi knew Hu's conspiracy, and ordered Hu Guanglie to be detained for the crime of corruption. However, in a confidential letter, I clearly informed Xiao Min that the Hu's conspiracy case is still under torture. In order to avoid shaking the mind, it has been suppressed for the time being and has not yet been finalized. Xiao Yan acted meticulously. In order not to shake the army's heart, he should not disclose to the army Hu's rebellion, otherwise Hu Guanglie would not be detained only for the crime of corruption. If so, how does the person who writes the secrets know about Hu's conspiracy? My secret letter is also a family letter. If there is a private relationship, Xiao Yan will never let the second person see it. Unless the secret letter has already fallen into the hands of others, or ... Xiao Xiao deliberately!
I stood up and rushed to the front of the case. The secret fold was still spread out under the lamp, and I looked at it with every word. There was nothing unusual. I looked closer and looked under the lamp, but still found nothing.
There was a faint sound of Song Huain and Aunt Xu outside, and it seemed that Song Huain wanted to come in and visit me.
In anxiety, I tried hard to think of clues in the past, and my heart suddenly moved-I once made a guessing game based on Jiu Gong Luo Tu, and I took it for fun to test Xiao Yan's eyesight. No matter how I change the arrangement, he can find out every time, and only once digs out the layout, and finally stumped him. At that time he smiled and said, "If you are an intermediary, I'm afraid no one can crack your secret letter.
I was struggling to think about it, thinking about the sequence at the time, and pressing my finger on the text to find it.
The first word is "yes", the second word ... I look for it, the sweat oozes out of my palm, the more anxious, the more clueless, the aura of light flashes, and the word "change" jumps into my eyes!
Changed! I suddenly covered my mouth and didn't let myself exclaim.
Two words were found at the back, which were connected exactly as "yes", "change", "speed", and "home".
——It was Xiao Yan, and it really was him. He intentionally showed a flaw in the text, which aroused my alertness, and then warned me in this way.
Suddenly, it was as if going through a cycle of life and death, returning to the earth from the bottomless abyss, and seeing the light again. The ecstasy of the rest of the life after the disaster overwhelmed all fear and shock. No matter what happens, as long as you know that he is alive, nothing else can be feared.
Who is this secretive to guard against?
Who knew that Xiao Yan had lost "information", and immediately believed that he had encountered an accident and couldn't wait to confirm his death?
There were footsteps outside approaching the inner room, and I immediately brought the close fold closer to the candlelight, the flames rushed and licked the handwriting.
"Master Song, don't disturb the princess!" Aunt Xu's voice came and was near the door.
With a wave of my sleeve, I overturned the candlestick, ignited the books on the table, and burned the dense fold.
At the door, Song Huain and Aunt Xu were both stunned by the fire, and the maid behind them exclaimed.
"The princess is careful!" Song Huaien stepped forward and pulled me away. Aunt Xu was screaming and calling for fire, while the table was full of books, and the fire was already there, and the dense folds had been burned to ashes.
Song Huaien forced me away, half dragged out of the inner room, and I fell in his arms, finally crying.
Aunt Xu and the left and right maids knelt on the ground, crying and crying.
"The prince gave his life for the country and lives forever. However, the situation is now critical, and the princess must grieve and focus on the overall situation!" Song Huai'en was full of pain.
I covered my face with a smirk. "What's the big picture? Lord Wang is gone. What else do I fight for?"
Aunt Xu stepped forward on her knees and burst into tears. "There are also Xiaoshizi, and the county master, and there are many people waiting for you, grandma ..."
"Is the princess watching the chaos in the imperial court, watching the hard-working half-life of Wang Ye be destroyed?" Song Huaien held my shoulder.
I lifted my eyes and looked at him, looking at this familiar face. The face with the words "loyalty" written on the corners of the eyebrows was suddenly hesitant.
"Now when the prince is gone, there are no dragons in the army and the DPRK. The war between the generals may cause great changes at any time." He looked worried and sad, "The princess must make plans early, Wyne is willing to swear to protect the princess and the younger son. comprehensive!"
I closed my eyes abruptly, and my uncle's long knees were in front of him.
He was startled and knelt down, "Prince, what are you doing?"
I raised my tears and looked at him sadly.
He opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a moment.
"Wion, the only person I can trust now is you." My body trembled, tears falling down.
His eyes changed, and he looked straight at me, finally sighing, and then bowed his head, "Wayne swears to follow!"
I said suddenly, "Today in the military, prestige is the only virtue, but you can justify everyone's expectations."
He yelled, "Although that is the case, it is not easy to order the Sixth Army unless there is a tiger talisman in your hand ..."
I lowered my head, my heart was completely cold, and the last hope of luck was gone.
Wyan, it really is you.
My heart was so bleak that there was no hatred and anger.
There are two tiger charms in Xiao Ye's hands. In addition to holding one himself, the other one is hidden in my hands.
This was the most important thing left to me before Xiao Yan's departure.
This tiger charm can be used to dispatch soldiers and horses in the world by name, but the soldiers and horses that can actually be dispatched by me are only 150,000 garrisons left in the suburbs of Beijing.
On the same day, I also laughed at him, saying that I was a woman, no military post, and could not dispatch the soldiers and soldiers with the tiger amulet.
However, if this tiger amulet falls into Song Huai'en's hands, its power is tremendous.
He had been an official to the right, with years of prestige in the army, and now both Hu Tang and Tang were no longer there. Xiao Xiao died, and naturally he was the only one who respected him.
As long as Tiger Run is in his hands, he can take over the military power as a matter of course, and he will take the Emperor to order the princes and replace him with Xiao.
