Chapter 293 Goodbye
The yard was quiet for a few breaths, and then Yan Qinglue's cold voice sounded, "It's not a dream."

Before Meng Shulan could react, his hand resting on the table had already been gently held by someone. His cold fingertips were not soft, but rough enough to cut his hand.

The rough texture seemed to be transmitted from the hand to the heart, a little numb and itchy, but also a little sour and painful.

He held her fingertips with his backhand, covered her cold hands in his palms, and rubbed her fingertips against the rags of the cloak that was wrapped around her palm like a bandage. With blood stains, he pursed his lips and looked up at her, "Okay."

After staring at her for a moment, he stretched out his hand to straighten her hair from the sideburns, put it behind her ears, and gently wiped away the blood stains on her cheeks. His eyes were gentle and firm, "It doesn't matter if it's a dream or reality. Anyway, since you said it, I will always answer you."

Holding her face in one hand, interlocking her fingers with the other, Meng Shulan leaned forward slightly, touching her forehead, with a soft but serious voice, "Ah Qing, I understand. I don't want to stand behind you anymore , and I don’t want to be by your side, I want to stand in front of you and block all open and hidden arrows for you. I don’t want to see you get hurt again.”

Yan Qing smiled lightly, "Then stand in front of me. Block all the open and hidden arrows for me, take on the important task of the family, the country, and the world, so that there will be no more wars in this world, and let my gun be sealed in the dust forever .”

Sighing lightly, he raised his head and kissed her on the forehead, and looked down into her eyes, "The gun will not be covered with dust. I will place it high on the Mingtai, so that everyone can admire its glory and know it well. Its merits are high, and it is frightened by its sharpness. It does not have to go through the wind and frost, but it can protect the family and the country forever."

Yan Qing was slightly stunned, then suddenly smiled, like ice and snow just melting, those black eyes as deep as a cold pool melted fine light, like a river of stars turning, the cold voice stained the smile, as soft as the spring breeze in March, "Okay."

The eyes are shining, the lips are frosty and the snow is cool, the old tea is boiling and the fragrance is faint, the warmth and softness enter the heart and the mood is long.

The cold wind blows, the snow rolls down, covering the shoulders, and the face is dyed blue. It is not a white head, but a white head.

At the end of April in the fifth year of Qianyuan, the Jingcheng Army attacked the Twelve Departments of Xueyuan at night, severely injuring the army of Xueyuan.The Twelve Departments of the Snowy Field temporarily retreated to herd sheep and cattle ten miles away from the Magagehe River. They seemed to have no intention of fighting again, and intended to breed livestock in spring.

Yan Qing believed in Baishu secretly, secretly planned the restoration of the country, went to Yangcheng at night, and had a secret talk with Guo Youning.

At the beginning of May of the fifth year of Qianyuan, the death of Empress Wu'an was known all over the world.Since the Wen family had no heirs left, Prime Minister Xu Xiangfeng took over as the country's governor. As early as early April, when the emperor died, he summoned the guards from the four borders to return to Beijing to discuss matters of state governance.

East Marquis Fu Zhiyue of Dongjiang Town should be recalled to Beijing, and took over the position of Wu Ren, commander of the Six Guards of Kangdu, who died of illness, and took charge of Dongjiang and Kangdu soldiers and horses.

Peng Luoshu, the director of Southern Xinjiang, should be recalled to Beijing to report on the situation in southern Xinjiang, hand over the soldiers and horses in southern Xinjiang, return to Beijing as an official, and move to the Youshangshu of the Ministry of War.

Guo Youning, Marquis of the North of Beijiang Town, the turmoil in northern Xinjiang has not settled down, his own health, and the snowy field war has not stopped.

Baishu, the director of Xijiang, did not respond.

At the beginning of May, Prime Minister Xu Xiangfeng announced to the world the covenant of the five families to establish Wu'an, saying: If the western and northern borders do not enter Beijing for business negotiations, it will be regarded as giving up the succession to the Wu'an throne.

The Xu family became the new emperor logically, but the western and northern borders, which did not obey the edict, became rebels.The Marquis of Zhendong, Fu Zhiyue, took the order to set up a camp secretly between Jicheng, where the interior entered the western border, and Wangcheng, where the interior entered the northern border, and the imperial court issued an ultimatum to the two borders.

In the middle of May, Xijiang announced to the world with the covenant of the past, and the country was restored to Xiyan.

Fu Zhiyue led the army to attack Xiyan on the same day, and punished him for treason.

Guo Youning in Beijiang has been evasive all the time, as if he doesn't want to get involved in the fight between Xiyan and Wu'an.

At this time, in Zhenbeihou's mansion, Empress Xiyan, who had just returned to her country, was sitting at the table with him calmly drinking tea.

Next to her, Meng Shulan, the only bloodline descendant of the Wen family, was holding the imperial edict to bargain with him.

Guo Youning's head hurts from hearing this, but his own daughter didn't know what kind of ecstasy drug she took, and she helped Yan Qing as a hard worker to supervise the reconstruction of the official road in Beidi.

Guo Youning mediated with them for a few days, and after talking with Guo Jiami all night, he finally nodded, but bluntly said that he wanted to make Meng Shulan the emperor.

"The situation of the Guo family is different from that of the Yan family. The Guo family has been the guard of Wu'an since the previous dynasty. It was already disloyal to join hands with the other four families to overthrow the tyranny of the previous dynasty. This time, I no longer want to leave a bad name in the history books. "

Guo Youning said bluntly, "Let's promote King Shu as the emperor, and we can use the name of orthodoxy to win over neutral people. At present, there are natural and man-made disasters in Wu'an, and the people are in dire straits. This move can greatly reduce unnecessary conflicts."

Yan Qing naturally had no objection to this, but Meng Shulan felt that the time had not come, so she asked Guo Youning to temporarily sit on the sidelines on the grounds that the thieves of Xueyuan Twelve were still alive.

In this regard, Yan Qing and Guo Jia also agreed.

The Beidi official road has just begun to be repaired, only for the reason that after the winter snow falls this year, the Beidi will no longer be plagued by snowstorms and become an empty city.

And in this way, Fu Zhiyue's army can be restrained in Jicheng area, Guo Youning can secretly station troops in Binghe Town, go around the Northeast Joint Defense Battalion, and take the land of Eastern Xinjiang.

At the beginning of June in the fifth year of Qianyuan, Yan Qing returned to Xijiang and ascended the throne as Empress Xiyan, but met an unexpected old friend.

Ayhan and Mashaduo, who were supposed to leave Wu'an and return to Xirong at the beginning of the year, were assassinated after leaving Kangdu, and fled all the way to Yuncheng north of Jicheng incognito, where they were rescued by Fu Yunhuai who returned from wandering.

Fu Yunhuai took the two of them back to Jicheng and sought refuge with Yuan Mouren, the lord of Jicheng, but was told that Yuan Mouren had been summoned to Beijing.

Three days later, Yuan Luzhi, the young master of Jicheng who was studying at the Imperial College in the capital, returned in a hurry. After making many arrangements, the people of Jicheng began to migrate secretly.

Yuan Luzhi, Fu Yunhuai, You Zhiqing, Lu Ningzhi and others mixed among the fleeing people and escorted Ayhan and Ma Shaduo to the western border.

Due to changes in the situation, Bai Shu did not arrange for people to send Ayhan and Mashaduo back to Xirong, but put them under house arrest on the grounds of investigating the assassins and protecting their safety.

Yuan Luzhi, Qi Shu, and Fu Yunhuai, three Jicheng friends from back then, gathered together, but they had no time to reminisce about the old days.

Qi Shu and Fu Yunhuai went to Xu Yingying's tavern in Xijiang, and drank two cups of wine to reminisce.Talking about those years, the two had a lot of emotion.

Fu Yunhuai asked about his marriage with Xu Yingying, but Qi Shu looked at Xu Yingying who was in front of the counter to settle the accounts.

Raising his glass and taking a sip of wine, Qi Shu smiled bitterly at Fu Yunhuai, and laughed at himself, "I was the one who made the decision and thought it was for her own good. Now that I've calmed down and made myself a family, it's time for me to beg her to turn around." "
