Chapter 340 News and Situation

At the moment, Xu Jiao doesn't care about the thoughts of Xue Xue and others. She pondered over and over again the last two letters written by Mr. Jiuyi and Mrs. Zhao last night, and still felt that the word "painting" had some deep meaning. In addition, she suddenly remembered that time when she was newly married, Mrs. Zhao came to Helian Mansion and stayed with her for a few days, and she specifically mentioned the painting before leaving.She felt a little strange at the time, but too many things happened later, and she never had time to think about it.Although she has carefully studied these paintings countless times, and has long been familiar with each painting, even if she doesn't look at it, she can copy it exactly, but she is still worried and wants to do it again. Take a look.

But after looking at several pictures, Xu Jiao's eyebrows became tighter and tighter. Could it be that she was wrong?No!impossible!

There must be something missing!
Xu Jiao took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and continued to open those scrolls one by one. Suddenly, her eyes were fixed on a certain place...

At first Xu Jiao thought that he had misread it, but after looking at it carefully, he finally confirmed that it was not a momentary dazzle, or a hallucination that appeared due to too much longing. Xu Jiao's eyes gradually filled with surprise, it turned out to be Is that so?I see!

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Xu Jiao was startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"Ma'am, Mr. Lang is back." The voice of Xue came from outside the door.

After a while, Xu Jiao calmed down, "Got it." Responding, she packed up the paintings.

By the time He Lianshu returned to Mingyue Residence, she had packed up all the paintings.

"I heard that you locked yourself in the room again, are you going to paint again?" He Lianshu raised his eyebrows and asked when he saw her.

Xu Jiao gave a low "hmm", "It's fine to the left and right. I haven't seen these paintings for a long time, and I suddenly thought about them." Xu Jiao raised his head and looked at He Lianshu's face. Although it was not obvious, he could still see it vaguely. Feeling tired, some words had already reached her lips, and she swallowed them again.

He Lianshu glanced at her, took her hand and walked in, "It's good if you find something to do."

"Why have you been in the palace for so long, but what happened?" Xu Jiao was still concerned about this matter.

He Lianshu's eyes were gloomy, looking at her, he pondered for a while before saying, "The Northern Jie spies have come to report that the 15 Beijie army is ready and will soon march south."

A chill suddenly slipped through the apex of his heart, and Xu Jiao's hand held by him also froze for a moment. Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, until now, he still felt a little unbelievably dazed, and he really wanted to start a war. Yet?
For Xu Jiao, who grew up in a peaceful age, all her knowledge of war comes from the bloody history in textbooks and the horrific scenes in film and television dramas, but this does not hinder her fear of war, especially in the Just after a painful loss.What's more, for them, this war may mean another separation and loss.

Xu Jiao's hand subconsciously grabbed He Lianshu's hand tightly, holding it a little harder, she didn't realize it, but He Lianshu felt the slightest pain.But looking down at her slightly trembling hand with white knuckles, and then looking up at her white face and straight eyes, Helian Shu pinched her heart, raised her hand and pulled her into his arms and said "At present, all parties have begun to prepare for the war, and the northern border has also been prepared early in the morning. The advantage of the northern Jie is the cavalry raid, but now the Great Wei is clearly prepared. If I were Khan, I would definitely not act rashly. "

Xu Jiao was slightly taken aback, and looked up at him in a daze. Did he mean that he might not be able to fight?

A dark light flashed across He Lianshu's eyes, and he raised his hand to lightly touch her forehead, "I may be a little busy these few days, but I will definitely come back at night, and you take good care of yourself during the day, don't let I'm worried." Some things, he didn't tell Xu Jiao, after all, he is not Mo Chuo Chuluo, if he were, he would definitely not start a war because of his own ambition, and his life would be ruined.It's a pity that the current power in Beijie is in the hands of Mo Chuochuluo, and his ambition to get involved in the Central Plains has been brewing for more than ten years, and he may not be able to wait any longer this time.

Xu Jiao's eyes lit up slightly after hearing his words. His words were telling her that he would not leave for the time being.How does this make her unhappy?
She raised the corner of her mouth and nodded towards him, "Don't worry about doing your work, I will wait for you at home."

He Lianshu stared at her with dark eyes, there was love and pity in his eyes, and there were some deeper things hidden under his eyes, but she couldn't allow her to explore them. He bowed his head and kissed her forehead, "Then If you want to see the painting, go ahead, I'm going out right now."

Hearing what he said, the trip back to the mansion was just to ease her heart? "Should I leave without eating?"

"No! If you come back late at night, you don't have to wait for me." After finishing speaking, she lightly pressed the top of her head, then turned around and strode out.

Looking at his back, Xu Jiao frowned slightly, and the bottom of her eyes, which were as bright as a bright moon, was also covered by a smear of shadow. She turned her head to face Xuedao, "You go out of the house, and invite Donna to come in."

Negative Xue didn't ask any further questions, she said "yes" and took the order to leave.

He Lianshu's face sank like water, and when he left Mingyue Residence, he didn't leave the mansion immediately, but went to the outer study first.

In the outer study room, Mr. Du, Su Le, Di Da and the others had already been waiting. Seeing him, they got up one after another. Before they could salute, he stopped them with a gesture, and walked directly behind the desk.

"This is the sorted out news from various places, sir, please have a look." There were several files on the desk, He Lianshu nodded, and sat down to read them silently, with deep eyes.

"The people who chased and killed Mo Chuohan on the road were all from the Central Plains, but they failed to survive. Before Mo Chuuhan arrived in the northern capital, Su Nong Yehu had already gone to Yazhang to plead guilty to the Great Khan. How did he say it?" Yes, I really can't find out, but the Great Khan obviously didn't have the slightest quarrel with Sunong Yehu because of this, and he still treats him as usual. There are also people from Gu Li Ke Dun and Han Teqin who are paying close attention to it, so far. I noticed something strange. On the contrary, there has been a civil uprising in the southwestern area of ​​Great Wei, and several teams have risen up. Let's get the news quickly, and the news should reach that person's ears by tomorrow at the latest."

While He Lianshu was watching, Su Le briefly told He Lianshu about the important information.

"What do you think, sir?" Helian Shu didn't raise his eyebrows, but asked in a deep voice.

"I would like to congratulate Ah Shu. Great Wei has internal and external troubles, and it is time for Ah Shu to retire. Ah Shu's tiger division is the elite of the Beijia army, and he will go south with the Great Khan in a few days. Let Ashu go back and lead them to make great achievements!" Du Wenzhong got up, bowed to He Lianshu's elder body, and said calmly.

He Lianshu frowned slightly, his eyes were dark and cold, and he looked up at Du Wenzhong, "Sir, do you really think so?"

"Earlier, my husband told me in detail the disadvantages of traveling from the north to the south. No matter how convincing and well-founded my husband's words are, I didn't believe them at that time."

"Listen to Ashu, have you changed your mind now?" Du Wenzhong raised his eyebrows, and a gleam of joy seemed to disappear in his eyes, "I would like to hear more about it!"

"The Central Plains is vast and rich in resources and outstanding people. Even if the royal family of the Wei Dynasty is not succeeded, there are countless capable people with lofty ideals. Moreover, although the Central Plains is inclusive of all rivers and rivers, it still has xenophobic thoughts. Once a foreign race invades, they can always unite unprecedentedly. It is said that although the Beijiao cavalry are fierce, they may not be able to break through the barriers and drive straight in. Even if they really occupy Feng'an, they may not be able to manage the land well. Our roots are in the grasslands. Even if we envy the prosperity here, we may not be able to Take root here." He Lianshu's tone was flat, without any ups and downs.

Du Wenzhong listened, his eyes were filled with joy, but his nodding became thicker. He stroked his short beard under his chin with his hand, and nodded with satisfaction.

"No wonder you haven't mentioned this matter after talking with me several times. It turns out that you've made up your mind a long time ago... You brought me here in the name of Wenlou, endorsed it at Dahan, and sent me a mission. In fact, it is to give me a chance to go to the Central Plains in person to see what happened." He Lianshu looked at Du Wenzhong's eyes that had accumulated the traces of time and wisdom, and he knew it clearly.

"Telling a thousand words and ten thousand is not as good as what you see is believing, and your personal experience is so profound. Because of your background, you have always hated the Central Plains. You can't listen to what I say, so I have to come up with this bad plan. Besides, you As the owner of Wenlou, you really need to come forward in the matter of Wenlou... But I never thought that I could easily persuade you to accept it. What a stubborn stone, I thought it was impossible to say that it was a return of nothing, but I didn't expect... Later I found out that you had met the current Princess Yingyue at that time, and in the final analysis, you are still a hero but a beauty." Du Wenzhong sighed with a smile , There was a hint of teasing in his tone.

When He Lianshu heard the words, his eyes softened slightly when he remembered what happened at that time. At that time, he was a dead duck with a stubborn mouth. He was obviously moved, but he never admitted it.

The corner of his mouth was lifted slightly, but he stood up, put his right hand on his left chest, and made a big salute to Mr. Du, "Sir, you have worked so hard on this matter, Ashu thank you for the people of the whole Beijie." Thank you for your kindness."

Du Wenzhong hurriedly waved his hand, "Ashu's words are serious. Although a certain person is from the Central Plains, when Wenlou was in distress, he was saved by Ashu and gave the whole Wenlou a chance. Wenlou relied on Beijie's water and soil and Ah Shu's protection, after more than ten years of stable life, is nothing more than reciprocation. Ashu's ambition is clear in his heart, your heart is for home and country, and you have become a martial artist. As long as you can wake up, you will be Bei Jie, and even Fortunately for the entire grassland. Ashu...the grassland has been in chaos for a long time, it's time to settle down, maybe you can end the disputes in the grassland and bring real peace to the people of the grassland, just like the Tiger Master under your rule."

He Lianshu didn't speak, there seemed to be something fleeting in his eyes, rolling in his throat, but he lowered his head, and gave Du Wenzhong another salute.

"Since Ah Shu understands everything, he must have plans in his heart?" Du Wenzhong calmed down and smiled slightly.

He Lianshu closed his eyes and remained silent.

When Du Wenzhong saw this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he said in surprise, "Since you already know the pros and cons, you should rush back to the northern capital as soon as possible to prevent the sweat from sending troops and avoid unnecessary casualties."

"Sir, I know a little about Da Khan. Do you really think that Da Khan's decision can be controlled by me with a few words? Besides, compared to the battle with Wei, I am more worried about the fire in the backyard of the northern capital. .”

"You still doubt the connection between Su Nongtuo and Princess Huiming?" Du Wenzhong frowned.

He Lianshu nodded, he was not only worried about Su Nongtuo and Princess Huiming?Princess Huiming and Li Jiazhi are in the Central Plains, and the cooperation with Su Nongtuo is just to muddy the waters of the Central Plains. I am afraid that he has no time to take care of the grasslands, but Su Nongtuo has always won the trust of Mo Chuluo, and he is almost alone in Beijie. With more than ten thousand people, what Feng An has done this time is indeed a bit incomprehensible.However, the Su Nong tribe is not a very aggressive tribe. Among the tribes in the grassland, its military and financial resources are not very powerful. There are other forces behind it.

"Since this is the case, in order to prevent chaos in Beijie, you should hurry back to Beijie." Du Wenzhong said hastily. Princess."

He Lianshu's eyes darkened, but he didn't deny it.He couldn't let go of Xu Jiao, what's more, Mrs. Zhao's death hit Xu Jiao quite hard, how could he go away with her current appearance? "I have already told the Great Khan all my guesses. If the Great Khan still insists on ignoring the troops, even if I go back, it will be useless."

"Sir, do you think that the Great Khan would trust anyone without reservation?"

"At least, what Da Khan showed is his deep belief in Su Nongtuo." Du Wenzhong Wang Ding He Lianshu said.

He Lianshu nodded, "Indeed. At least Dahan believes in Sunontuo more than me."

"Ashu, now is a critical moment, it concerns the whole Beijie, are you serious?"

"Sir!" He Lianshu interrupted him, and slightly raised the corners of his lips towards him, "I can't leave yet. As for Beijie, I have already done what should be done. The rest depends on the choice of Da Khan. He Lianshu bowed to Du Wenzhong, "I still have an errand, so I won't talk to my husband for now, so I leave." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out.

Du Wenzhong didn't have time to call him, so he could only look at his back and sighed, but his brows were tightly knit.Even if you don't care about Bei Jie, regardless of the war, don't you care about your own life?Gu Li Ke Dun will not let go of such a great opportunity. It is much easier to kill you in Dawei than in Beijie. Later, you can shirk your death on the people of Dawei, even with one move It is easy to use a knife to kill someone.You are so smart, how can you not think of it?

But are you willing to take such a big risk for a woman?
If not, how could the Great Khan send secret letters one after another just to urge you to go back?
Now, if you stay in Da Wei for one more day, you will be in more danger!You know it well, but why do you insist on blinding your eyes and refusing to face it squarely?

It's really a mistake of love!
