Chapter 216 Hopeless
Mu Heng tilted his head and said in a deep voice, "Master Hou."

Li Xunchuan's hand holding Zhuo Ran was trembling.Zhuo Ran was still lying there quietly, as if he had fallen asleep in Li Yanchuan's arms, very obedient and quiet.

"I don't believe that she would be so ruthless and make me so frightened," Li Yuchuan lightly stroked Zhuo Ran's finger bones, "It's come to this point, I don't believe it."

"I haven't told anyone about Xiaqiu's situation." Mu Heng said, "I kept everything under wraps except for the injury. Xiaqiu kept quiet from the beginning, presumably because he didn't want Nie Hanshan and the others to know, but Xiaqiu was still right. They have reservations."

Li Xunchuan said: "That Wang Heng? Why did he appear suddenly? What did Xiaqiu say to Nie Hanshan?"

Mu Heng shook his head: "I don't know. Xiaqiu went to Beiyuan alone, and brought Wang Heng back when he returned home. But I heard from Uncle Zhou that Wang Heng was General Zhuo Ting's old department, so he and Xiaqiu also has something to do with it, I believe he won't hurt Xiaqiu. Nie Hanshan, what do you think, Lord Hou?"

"Nie Hanshan hasn't been here since the end, in fact, it's not necessary for him to come, I just want an explanation." Li Yuchuan frowned, "Nie Hanshan is not an ordinary person, and there is really no need to let him know about Xiaqiu's condition. , I want to know what he wants to do."

Mu Heng sighed: "If you want to see him, go, I will guard Xiaqiu here."

Li Xunchuan was silent for a moment, looked down at Zhuo Ran, and said softly: "You go out first, I will go out later."

"it is good."

Li Xunchuan lowered his head, Zhuo Ran breathed slowly, he gently rubbed the tip of Zhuo Ran's nose, but she didn't respond, Li Xunchuan squeezed Zhuo Ran's wrist, and slowly closed his eyes.

Just leave for a few days, just a few days.Li Xunchuan stood up, brought over the medicine bowl, gently lifted Zhuo Ran, and fed her all the medicine.Zhuo Ran called Li Xunchuan's name in a daze, and was awakened a little by the bitterness, but her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them at all.Li Xunchuan lowered his head and said softly, "Hey, I'll give you candy after drinking."

"Don't go, I don't want you..."

Li Xunchuan listened carefully to Zhuo Ran's words, Zhuo Ran's eyelashes fluttered, and he shrank into Li Xunchuan's arms again.

"Don't miss me?" Li Yuchuan smiled and teased her, "If you don't miss me, then I'll leave."

Zhuo Ran showed a sad expression, as if he was about to cry the next moment, Li Yuchuan coaxed softly, and said, "Just kidding, I won't go, I really won't go."

Zhuo Ran didn't believe it, Li Yanchuan put his chin against her forehead, put the medicine bowl on the small table, and hugged her tightly.Li Xunchuan took out a candy for Zhuo Ran, and Zhuo Ran relaxed after tasting the sweetness.

Li Xunchuan tidied up the bed curtains and walked out of the room after watching Zhuo Ran sleeping soundly.Xiyu waited outside, and stepped forward when he watched Li Yanchuan come out. Li Yanchuan signaled him not to speak, and said after walking away: "How is the situation in Tuzhou now?"

"Nanqing asked Chang Yinyu to go to Tuzhou, so there is nothing serious about Tuzhou now. That Wu Li has also been caught, and they should come back as soon as possible, master, don't worry." Xi Yu said.

Li Xunchuan nodded, and said, "Chang Yinyu is not bad. Mu Heng's master... said earlier that it will be here soon, and I wonder if it can be faster."

Xiyu said: "Master, I just ran into Ms. Mu Heng. She asked me to tell the master that Nanqing's medicines are according to her instructions for a few days. She will go to Nanjiang doctor now and bring him here as soon as possible."

Li Xunchuan frowned slightly: "Did she go alone?"

Xi Yu nodded: "Yes."

"When did you leave?"

Xiyu said: "You should still pack your things in the house. After all, it's a long way to meet the doctor in southern Xinjiang."

Li Xunchuan said: "Xiyu, you go with Mu Heng, you must protect the doctor and come back as soon as possible."

"Yes."

During the time when Ye Ji left Xiqi, Ye Wei personally went to the battlefield to fight a few times, but he didn't expect that they were all ancient Qiang people, and he didn't even know where these people came from.Ye Wei fought against the ancient Qiang people, so it wasn't a disastrous defeat, but he suffered some minor injuries, and he had to take care of it for a while before Ye Ji came back.

Aunt Lu blocked the gate of the mansion.Ye Ji lowered the car curtain and frowned slightly: "Didn't I tell anyone about my return?"

Wan Ze shook his head helplessly: "Perhaps the prince told Aunt Lu."

"Can I go through the back door?"

Yan Qingyao smiled and said: "The general why worry, she may just come to trouble me."

"It's okay to trouble anyone." Ye Ji sighed.After the carriage stopped, Ye Ji got out of the carriage first, pulled Yan Qingyao, and strode over.

Ye Ji walked around Aunt Lu, but saw Aunt Lu took a step towards her, Ye Ji tilted her head slightly: "What's the matter? I haven't seen you for a few days, do you still have to quarrel to get in touch?"

Aunt Lu drooped her eyebrows and said, "Your father is injured, why don't you go and see?"

"Did I say I won't go?" Ye Ji frowned, "Aunt Lu, if you have nothing to do, you can go and see me and help you when you have so many things to do in spring, and you can stay here all day looking for me with nothing to do. Unhappy, I don’t think it’s really necessary.”

"General Ye, Aunt Lu, let's talk about it when we go back home. It's so cold standing here." Yan Qingyao said, "Aunt Lu is not a vexatious person. General Ye, don't do that."

Aunt Lu stared at her: "Hey, why are you back again?"

Yan Qingyao bowed her head, but said nothing.

Ye Ji was a little impatient, and said: "I just said that I would change my tone after talking to Aunt Lu. Did I say that she is not under Aunt Lu's control? Aunt Lu really doesn't need to remind me again. back."

"This unknown person's origin is unknown, and you have not told us her name." Aunt Lu frowned, "The prince is also very strange."

Ye Ji pulled Yan Qingyao up the steps and said, "Don't worry about her, she belongs to me. If my father wants to ask me, he will come in person. Aunt Lu shouldn't ask me these things under such a name. I'll go back and see Father, it's freezing cold, Aunt Lu should hurry back home. If I stay here again, I won't be able to do anything if I get sick. "

Aunt Lu snorted softly.

Ye Ji took Yan Qingyao back to the mansion, and Aunt Lu looked at the backs of the two and could only follow silently.

Ye Wei was still dealing with Xiqi's affairs, when he learned that Ye Ji had returned, he waved off the attendants, and just let Ye Ji in alone.The charcoal fire in the main hall was not very strong, and Ye Ji felt a little cold when she entered.

"Since father is injured, let's heat up the charcoal fire, don't suffer from the wind and cold again." Ye Ji said.

Ye Wei shook his head: "It's nothing. Ye Ji, Zhou Yao didn't look very well when he came back. Did you say something unpleasant in Xinzhou?"

Ye Ji said: "Father. My daughter feels that her words did not hurt General Zhou. He took me into the battlefield, just like my father influenced me subtly. I admire him, but many things, my father, and General Zhou's thoughts There are many differences. My daughter doesn't want Xiqi to always..."

"Ye Ji." Ye Wei said, "Do you still want to trust that Nan Qing?"

"Father." Ye Ji said, "You must have received the news. This time in Yongzhou, it was the champion Hou and Nanqing who took Bayer together. Who is Bayer? He is the future Wu Ge Yuanjian, By killing her, Nan Qing cut off Gu Qiang's hope. Isn't it possible to prove Nan Qing's ability?"

"You said it just now. That's because there is the champion. You try to see if only Nan Qing, a woman like her, can stop Bayer's army?"

Ye Ji said: "Father, Beili and Nanqing are now in the same spirit, and they are all hurt. This matter cannot be considered separately. No matter whether there is champion Hou's help this time, Nanqing will not let Yongzhou fall into crisis." .Time is really running out, Nanqing needs to deal with the matter here as soon as possible, and then go to Gaodu."

Ye Wei said: "Speaking of Gaodu...you must know that Gaodu has become a mess. Since Gaodu is already in chaos, do you still hope that Nanqing can bring them back to the right track? Nanqing won't go here Muddy water is not bad, if she goes in again, it will only become more chaotic."

Ye Ji shook her head and said, "Father, no. Now we are all waiting for someone who can take care of the overall situation and stir things up. Then why can't this person be Nanqing? She is a real of the royal family."

"But have you ever thought about whether Nanqing is willing?" Ye Wei said, "These are all your imaginations, and they are imposed on Nanqing by you. They are not voluntary. Who wants to be bet by everyone? Are you gambling? Who doesn't want to live a peaceful life."

Ye Ji said: "But father... you were the one who told me that as a general, nine times out of ten, you will not be successful, because every time you fight, you will be faced with choices. Could it be that you don't go to war because of these choices? Just because of this, do you have to stay there and not move forward? Isn't it even more impossible to do what your father said?"

"That...that's different..."

"What's different?" Ye Ji took a step forward, "Actually, I've always wondered why my father became like this? You clearly told me before that it was you who asked me to see the situation clearly and not blindly pursue you, but now you want me to be conservative. Watching the changes in the world and waiting for the right time, why? Father, what happened, why did you become like this, completely different from my previous father...why?"

"Ye Ji." Ye Wei shook his head, "Do you know what I said to you before because Xi Qi still has status and is still very important. But it's different now...Xi Qi now , It’s not the same as before. We won’t succeed, we have to wait.”

"As long as you dare to fight hard, how can you not succeed?" Ye Ji said, "Father, you taught me and Junan before that as long as you dare, you will not lose too badly... Maybe, maybe you are just too tired , it’s okay, it’s okay, Jun’an and I can help you, father.”

Ye Wei said: "Ye Ji, many things are not as you imagined."

"But I know, if I don't fight hard, I don't know how far Xiqi can go." Ye Ji lowered her head, she thought for a long time, it seemed that she had thought for a long time, before she raised her eyes and said, "Father , You said that Xiqi had status and function before. This sentence is true, but why? Because before Xiqi, there was you, you who were optimistic about everything, and you were not what you are now. At that time, because of Xiqi It can have an influence on Gaodu, so everyone has awe of Xiqi, but all of this is because of Xiao Fengwang. What kind of person Xiao Fengwang is, maybe it is just a one-sided statement, maybe it is just taken out of context, But it doesn't matter, Xi Qi still did it. Father, Xi Qi is no different from before, it has become you."

Ye Wei was taken aback for a moment.

"Father," Ye Ji said, "I heard that you went to the battlefield in person. I think you have changed your mind a little bit, otherwise I wouldn't have asked me to talk to you. So now my daughter chooses to believe in her father. She doesn't know her father. It will disappoint my daughter."

Ye Wei looked down at the pen and ink in his hand, and shook his head slightly.

"Ye Ji, the person you rescued..."

Ye Ji said, "Her name is A Yao."

"She's not a simple person."

Ye Ji smiled and said, "Yes."

border.

"By the way, if Agamula found out about Bayer's death, would he be so angry that he couldn't afford it?"

Agamula has not moved in the past few days, and they have room to breathe.Ye Baiqi handed the barbecue to Peng Ge, and said, "Why is Ah Yu so fast? Didn't he say he was going back to Beili a few days ago, why did he turn back suddenly, and happened to meet Bayer."

"Aghmula..." Peng Ge said, "Maybe it's possible to be so sad and angry that you don't even want to fight. As for Lord Hou... I don't think it's a big deal. By the way, there has been no news from Xiqi for a long time." You’ve been here, don’t you want to send a letter to your family?”

Ye Baiqi shook his head: "With the second sister here, I don't have anything to worry about. It's better not to ask, after Agamula completely retreats, you can go back to Xiqi with me."

Peng Ge nodded: "Okay, I'm just a rootless duckweed now, so I don't care where I float."

Ye Baiqi wanted to talk to comfort him, but felt that there was nothing to say.Peng Ge's life experience is very simple. He is alone, without marriage and family background, so he stays with these people under his command. Emperor Chongwen took a fancy to this before and asked him to be Minister of the Ministry of War. It's all a story from the past.Ye Baiqi didn't want to poke his scar, so he simply kept silent.

"Xiqi...is very different from before."

"Xiqi is not a battleground for military strategists, and it is normal to change." Ye Baiqi said, "I hated the name Zhonglangjiang before, because I didn't know what it meant or what it meant. It's just like a simple name, I know that from then on, Xiqi is no longer the old Xiqi, but I can't help it, because I'm too weak...so weak that I can't say a word I don't want to, I can't say a word, I want to go back to Xiqi. As for now, at the border, I still have feelings, always thinking about keeping the border safe, God's will tricks me..."

"It is indeed... God's will to trick people."
