Qingchuan History

Chapter 834 Carrying the Torch Against the Wind
Thousands of miles away, in Mianzhou Bieyuan, in a room deep in the corridor, Jing Tingge vomited his first mouthful of blood.

Since the start of the mountain and river pan, she has not closed her eyes for seven days and seven nights, relying on food to support her, and even today, she can't get enough water and rice, her whole face is ashamed, and her appearance is haggard.

Ruan Zhong, who was as hard-hearted as he was, couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "It's also useful to take a short break. Why bother."

"I explained to His Majesty that these deeds flow day and night and change rapidly. Since I use this as a basis to spy on the situation of the battle and seek victory, I can't relax for a moment. The judgment must be accurate and the speed must be fast, otherwise it is better not to use it."

Ruan Zhong snorted, "The price is staying up and vomiting blood to death."

Jing Tingge chuckled, and folded the silk handkerchief that wiped the blood from his lips, "This is the way things are in the world. The common people have the lack of the common people, and the king has the price of the king. No one should envy the other party's leisure or wealth. If you want to get something, you should pay the price. Pay. A so-called divine tool like the Shanhe Pan is a blessing if used well, and a disaster if used poorly. If you want to use it for real utility, you have to risk your life."

"Qibei's five sides have changed their strategy. Two camps in Weiying were burned down. It must have been done by very few people as quickly as possible, so you didn't see it."

The military newspaper that just arrived.Jing Tingge nodded, "Actually, I saw it, but I'm not sure whether such a small movement is a soldier or a horse, and second, I can finally confirm it after it has moved to Weiying, and it's too late to send a letter. Your sweetheart has already reacted. These people The countermeasures are all to avoid the advantages of the mountains and rivers. So I too, can go to sleep."

She stood up and walked to the hanging map.

The battle in the new district was chaotic. At the beginning, she was trapped in the old palace. She missed the beginning, and it was difficult to use the power of mountains and rivers to figure it out.The battlefield of Bai Kingdom is too far away, even if we can get a glimpse ahead of time, the situation will have already changed by the time the letter arrives.Only the Qibei battlefield can be manipulated. At this point, everything is temporarily exhausted.

It was used well, at least tens of thousands of Daqi's troops were lost.

"Who would have thought that the most anxious thing would be the new district." Ruan Zhongyi looked at the map with his hands behind his back.

Jing Tingge glanced at him, "Your country's forces are all in this area, and they are coming fiercely. The ones leading the fight are Shen Ji and Xue Zhan, who are the best in the country. Reinforcements are available, you guys have probably already lost."

Ruan Zhong looked at her as if she had nothing to do with her, and said coldly, "If she doesn't even have this kind of arrangement, she won't dare to start a game."

Refers to Ruan Moxi.

"It's a woman's mistake." Jing Tingge sighed, "I can guess how she and Shangguan concubine persuaded Duan Xirun. Gu Xinglang's love debts that were not what he asked for, but gifts from the family, will one day be demanded. killed him."

All the debts of love are Ruan Xueyin.Otherwise, at least Bai Guo would be his long-term ally.

Ruan Zhong's mind drifted.

"I'll leave it to you." Jing Tingge said lazily, "It's agreed, lead the main forces of Shen and Xue to the middle, and once the forces are gathered, I can use the mountains and rivers."

Ruan Zhong nodded.

She turned to go to sleep, then paused again, "I never asked you, didn't I promise her to escape from this world? It's the opposite, and I'm going to disappoint her."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"I will still be greedy." Fang heard a low reply.

Jing Tingge looked back at him.

She has lost a lot of weight, her muscles and bones are clear, and the fire in her eyes is even more blazing than in previous years.People who covet high positions, who have been in high positions but not enough, are like drug addicts.

What's more, the power and influence possessed by the high position can also help him quench his thirst.

Ruan Xueyin is the cup of old poisoned wine on the throne.

"I still can't see it." She flung out a sentence lightly, and went straight to the bed, "The Buddha said that a person who loves and desires is like a torch. If you walk against the wind, you will definitely burn your hands."

Ruan Zhong's heart moved slightly, "Which Buddhist scripture said this?"

"The 42 Chapters."

"You can also read Buddhist scriptures."

It didn't happen before, but after having Ah Yan, chanting Buddha's prayer suddenly became meaningful.

Since she didn't tell Ruan Zhong, she lifted the bed curtain and got in, and only listened to the outside:

"I've been holding a torch for half my life, and I burned my hands long ago. Not only did I burn my hands, but my soul was also destroyed."

The flames of war spread across the continent.

On the tenth day of May, the first Wei army broke through the defense line of Huama Town's Westmost Road City, drove southward, and went straight to Meizhou.

At the same time, the Jidu Forbidden Army dispatched, each with [-] troops, went north and south to support the two borders. It was King Ning, Princess Chang and General Chai Zhan who made decisions at the Mingluan Palace.The thirteenth prince, Gu Xingmo, was also by his side, who had just been picked up from Xiling a few days ago.

Because Ruan Xueyin sent letters to Gu Chunyue and Shisan respectively, several people in Mingluan Hall shared the same hatred and different thoughts.

— Ji must not be chaotic.

It's in both letters.

—If there is chaos, the safety of Xiaomo is the most important thing.

In the same sense, she told Chunyue to protect her younger brother, and warned Xiaomo not to be brave.

Of the fourth battalion of the Forbidden Army, three battalions received Gu Xinglang's handwriting, and the one that failed was the cavalry battalion that Ruan Xueyin had suspected during the last round of Jidu's crisis—not because of Xue Zhan, but because of Peng Wang.

Chai Zhan also received the handwriting of the lord, and now he is sitting in the hall, holding the power of the country.

Chai Yinuo climbed up the stairs, entered the palace and reported that the Five Thousands of the Shesheng Camp and the Five Thousands of the Huben Camp had taken their positions outside the palace gate to guard the imperial city; the deployment of strengthening the patrol in the city had been implemented, and if there were any changes, they could be killed immediately; they went to the north and south borders The forbidden army will be divided along the way, ranging from dozens to hundreds of people at a time, stationed in major cities and counties, and monitoring local movements.

Very "Gu Xinglang".

Everyone in the venue understood immediately after listening that the lord's arrangement was ready, and for this round, the Hussar General's Mansion was in hand.

"Have you found Mr. Shangguan?" Chunyue asked.

Before Gu Xinglang went to Ning'an, Shangguan invited him to Qinan to intervene in a lawsuit caused by the reform of the salt administration. Two censors also went with him.Before the war broke out, the two censors came back with the dossiers, but the Shangguan banquet did not return, saying that they were going to the east for another business trip.

The reform of the national salt policy has lasted for nearly a year, and it is indeed a time when both achievements and problems emerge.As for Shangguan Yan, as a king's official, Gu Xinglang dispatched all the affairs in his hands directly. In other words, his actions were not subject to any restrictions, as long as the lord's approval was required.

Therefore, no one cares how long it takes for him to come back after taking the decree, unless the emperor asks.But Gu Xinglang set off for Ning'an in April and never returned.

Gu Chunyue was extremely worried about this surrender.So the situation was at this point, she was the first to think of the Shangguan Banquet.

Chai Yinuo shook his head: "Not yet. When he parted from the two censors, it is said that he changed his clothes to make it easier to run errands. If he deliberately conceals his whereabouts, it will be difficult to find them during this turbulent time."

Not in Jidu during the turmoil, acting alone is like disappearing from the world, this situation is familiar.

Chunyue thought for a while, her husband's face flashed in her mind.

Isn't it exactly the same as Ji Ping when the situation in the Bai Kingdom changed the year before last?
"The arrangements in the palace have been made, and I will go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Chunyue stood up, recalling Ruan Xueyin's instructions in her letter, she glanced at Xiao Mo, and hesitated slightly.

King Ning probably understood, "Is Eldest Sister going to take Chen'er into the palace?"

With the arrangement of the capital like this, it is obvious that the imperial palace is the safest.

Chunyue did have this intention, but it was not the only reason for leaving the palace at this moment, and it was hard to explain, so she just nodded.

"Your brother, go pick it up. It's better for the eldest sister to stay in the palace. It's going to be night."

"I don't know how long he will stay in the palace this time." Chunyue smiled, "You can't take care of the child's expenses, and his father and the servants at home are not as good as me. It just so happened that I didn't make any arrangements before I came out. I am the mistress , always go back and explain a few words."

There are so many reasons, and King Ning stopped persuading him, "The elder sister, go and come back quickly, and the thirteenth brother has me."

Xiao Mo knew that Elder Sister must have something important to do, so she smiled back at King Ning and said, "Elder Sister, be careful on the road."

The city is peaceful, and the guarded soldiers are even more quiet than in the past.Chunyue walked out of the palace through the Changxin Gate, took a small path all the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, entered the vestibule, knew that Ji Ping was in the study, and breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't go to see him right away, she went back to the bedroom to wash off her tired body, chose a smoky light soft dress, looked at herself in front of the mirror, felt that she couldn't go out like this, wrapped her body in a cloak, and walked through the veranda past the pendant lights, pushing The door entered the study.

"Moon?"

Ji Ping raised his eyes and saw her closing the door with her backhand. "Why are you back at this time." Can't help laughing again, "The night is warm at the end of spring, so tightly wrapped."

When the border war started, he was also so busy during the day that he never touched the ground, and he also took a shower when he got home. At the moment, he was lying at his desk in his pajamas, dealing with unfinished business.

Chunyue was already getting hot, so she untied the cloak and hung it up casually, revealing her creamy skin and beautiful curves under the light and soft skirt.

Looming indistinctly, Ji Pingsu couldn't resist her dignifiedness and the glamorous light inside the curtains. Seeing people approaching, her thin skirt was swaying with the lotus steps, the lake pen in her hand paused, and a drop of round ink fell on the official document and scattered.

"Dress like this, you can't do without wrapping up." Chunyue's expression was still upright, and her reply was also plain.

Still like this, the most attractive.Ji Ping grabbed her waist and brought her forward, "I didn't see you wearing this."

With the kindness of the prime minister's mansion to the eldest princess and Ji Ping's pampering to his beloved wife, Gu Chunyue's bed skirts can vary from one hundred to eighty, and the four seasons are not the same.Speaking of which, this piece was given by Chunfeng. One year, it was a birthday gift, so it was not easy to take it out in front of people, so she dragged Chunyue to the side hall with a mysterious face.

"Elder Sister, you always say that I'm ignorant. This time, hum, let you see my sensibility. I'm going to wear it tonight! My brother-in-law will thank me."

She slipped out her skirt that night, knowing how "sensible" this younger sister is, she was speechless, and immediately worried that this girl was already so understanding before she came out of the court, that it would be easy for accidents, and she thought for a whole night that she was going to interrogate her next time when she entered the palace. I didn't wear it.

Like Gu Chunyue, I'm too embarrassed to wear it.

Until today.

"It's true that I haven't worn it. I just found it and tried it. Does it look good?"
