Jiaochu

When Zhu Xingguan led her to the backyard, she saw someone behind the fence in front of him planting vegetables. When she walked over, she found that he was planting grass instead of vegetables.

After Shangguan Yuan covered the soil, he took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve, held it above the graceful grass, tilted the mouth of the bottle, and slowly watered it. The crystal liquid slowly flowed out from the mouth of the bottle, sparkling like a It's like fine nectar and jade liquid. After watering, there was still a sparkling drop of liquid hanging on the tip of the leaf.

The leaf tips move slightly, and droplets of liquid fall into the soil.

After putting away the bottle, he stood up and walked over. Ye Lingxi asked what kind of grass it was. He replied that he came across it by chance when he went to collect medicine in the mountains. He thought he had a chance to bring it back.

"If it's a girl, will Master also bring her back?"

"It depends on fate."

She nodded and said: "We have come thousands of miles to meet each other, so when will master find me a master's wife?" Shangguan Yuandao said: "Xing officers of Si Tianjian cannot get married." She was a little surprised. This was the first time she heard of this rule. , I don’t know if it was a trick on her, she will ask Zhu Xingguan later.

After returning to the building, Shangguan Yuan asked Ye Lingxi why he came to see him, which meant that he would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. She said she wanted to do a fortune-telling. Shangguan Yuan asked her what she wanted to do. She raised her hand and wrote a word on the table. Shangguan Yuan took a sip of tea calmly and said, "Weak ministers cannot be counted." She was a little surprised again. When asked why, Shangguan Yuan said, "This is the rule of Si Tianjian."

It was a rule again. She really suspected that the other party was trying to trick her.

"How is the princess's practice of immortality?" Shangguan Yuan asked.

She replied: "Eat well and sleep well. You will know which day it will rain and which day it will be sunny." Shangguan Yuan nodded and took another sip of tea. She struck while the iron was hot, "Master, how about you teach me fortune telling." Shangguan Yuandao: "Princess does not need to learn this." She said: "I want to learn." Shangguan Yuandao, "If the princess really wants to learn, I can teach you." The princess makes alchemy." When she heard the word "alchemy", she blinked her eyes and thought to herself, why should she learn to make alchemy? Should she become a Taoist priest in the future? After thinking about it, she decided to forget it.

Before leaving, she asked, "Has Master observed the stars recently?" Shangguan Yuan nodded, she said nothing more, and left. On the way back, she met Yan Fei. She asked Yan Jiang how his body was recovering, and Yan Fei said he was fine.

After King Jin's report was delivered, Zheng Mian, Minister of the Ministry of War, asked for a reward for Ye Lingjue in the morning. Some ministers also agreed. Ye Lanchen planned to summon Ye Lingjue back to the capital first, and then reward him based on his merits.

The imperial edict was still on its way, but something happened again in the north.

Xiyan once again stationed troops at the border, with hundreds of thousands of troops, and even the elite black unicorns were sent over. It seemed that they were serious about taking action, and they were determined to win.

Ye Lanchen issued another imperial edict, asking the Longying Guards to rush over eight hundred miles away, and asked Ye Lingjue to go to the north. At the same time, he sent an army of 100,000 to support him. He ordered the old general Yan to be the commander, Du Liang to be the left forward, and Yancheng to be the left forward. As the right forward, the important task of escorting food and grass fell to Yan Fei this time.

On the eve of the army's departure, Ye Lingxi gave Yanfei another peace charm under the ginkgo tree. This time the note said safe return.

The next day, Ye Lingxi stood behind the pillars and found Yan Fei's figure among tens of thousands of people. The armor on his body reflected the cold light in the sun, like the melting lake water in winter. Seeing the hand raised and waved twice, as if saying goodbye to her, her eyes were sore and her vision became a little blurry. Hehe and Lingdang looked at each other and advised: "Princess, don't worry, Mr. Yan will come back safely." Lingdang also advised, "Princess, don't worry, Mr. Yan will definitely beat the enemy to pieces and leave no trace of armor behind. She smiled and said, "Let's go to the tower to see them off."

After climbing up the tower, she found that her third brother was also here.

Looking at the retreating army, Ye Xingye was envious and depressed. He also wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy, but Ye Lanchen was not sure. Ye Lingxi consoled him, "Third brother, my father asked you to stay here to preserve your strength. You are the secret weapon, the magic weapon to win, and the key to turning things around. How can you show it out so casually?" Ye Xingye felt embarrassed to hear this. I couldn't believe that I could be so powerful, but the depression in my heart disappeared.

After the army arrived at the northern border, Xiyan stopped moving again, but the garrison troops did not withdraw. The elite cavalry black unicorns were still stationed at the border.

The two armies were in a confrontation, and the war suddenly started without knowing when.

The cold wind is howling here in the north, but it's still the dog days of summer here in the capital.

The weather was hot, and Ye Jinnian couldn't sleep well, and his appetite wasn't very good. Ye Lanchen held her in his arms, and she seemed a little lighter, so he let the mother and son live in Qingliang Garden.

After moving in, Ye Jinnian slept and ate well. Within a few days, he became a little fatter and lighter. Now he can stand up and walk two steps on his own.

Ye Lingxi was very pleased. She practiced walking with him every day, and read poems and stories to him. It was easy to pass the time during the day. When she was walking alone after dinner, she felt that the surroundings suddenly became quiet, so quiet that she could Hearing the sound of the heartbeat, the feeling that things are different and people are different comes like a tide. People will grow up, leave, and change.

Unconsciously, she seemed to have almost forgotten about rebirth. Everything in her previous life was like a fleeting glimpse. In the intertwining of reality and memory, sometimes it became distant and sometimes it became closer. Some people and things were gradually reconciled, and some were not. She became increasingly conflicted, but there was one thing she would never give in to. If the choice of the crown prince her father wants to establish this time does not change, she will try to stop it even if she resorts to various means.

In a blink of an eye, it’s time for the cinnamon seeds to bloom.

The armies have been facing each other in the north for more than a month, and the haze hanging over the two armies is getting thicker and thicker, as if a blizzard is about to blow at any time.

In such a confrontation stage, the perseverance and patience of the coaches of the two armies are most tested. Those with a slightly inferior psychological quality may lose their momentum before the war begins. When the war actually begins, they may be frightened by the opponent and be defeated. .

General Yan personally trained his troops every day, and his sound was like a loud bell, which invisibly boosted morale.

On this day, Murong Ze brought meat and wine to reward the soldiers, and also hosted a separate banquet for the old general, the coach, and Du Liang Yancheng, the two forward generals. None of the three drank. They must stay awake at all times and must not take any chances. Mentally relax and relax. General Yan went to inspect the camp after dinner. Du Liang and Yancheng also exchanged pleasantries with Murong Ze and then went to inspect the camp.

Yan Fei and the soldiers were sitting by the fire roasting sweet potatoes while Jing Zhe pushed Murong Ze over. Murong Ze wanted to have a few words with Yan Fei alone, but the others left first.
