Chapter 178 The Queen Visits
"Master Li Jin..."

Xu Li looked at the stubble-faced Li Jin, her eyes were full of worry.Today, she deliberately took off her gorgeous palace attire, and put on the same attire she used to disguise as a man when she was hiding in Tibet.

"A Li..." Li Jin raised his eyes to look at Xu Li, and there was a trace of trance in his eyes, but then he respectfully said, "Your Majesty the Queen?"

"My lord, you should call me Ali." Xu Li said hastily, "Maybe you can still call me Ali."

Li Jin understands that the names of the two homonyms are different, and the meanings they represent are also different.One represents the past, one represents the future...a future without Li Qinqin.

Li Jin would not make such a choice, and he didn't want Xu Li to misunderstand anything, so he just shook his head: "The etiquette cannot be changed. What is the imperial edict of Her Majesty the Queen?"

Xu Li choked, and after a long silence, he whispered: "I, I just, just... I just came to see you. I heard that you have always been worried about the battle of recovery, the battle in the underground palace..."

"Is Her Majesty the Queen still waiting like this in the court hall?" Li Jin smiled slightly.

Xu Li suddenly panicked: "No, no, I'm not..."

"Although I don't go out, I still hear that everyone praises His Majesty." Li Jin shook his head and interrupted Xu Li's explanation, "It must be a different scene for His Majesty in the court, otherwise Uncle wouldn't I can't praise you enough."

"It's all the teacher and Mr. Zuo Cheng, they teach well..." Xu Li blushed slightly, "Also, Mr. Li Jin, you..."

Li Jin didn't respond when he heard the words.

"As soon as Dan Jincheng is farewell, Ah Li swears that she must become the most outstanding king in Mr. Li Jin's mind, so that I will not disappoint you for what you have done for me." Xu Li took a deep breath and forcibly calmed down. , Immediately stopped hesitating, "So, Ali has always taken every word of the young master to heart."

"Okay, Your Majesty." Li Jin shook his head, "The reason why I help you is because both the Li family and the Hanyun Empire need a wise monarch, because you are Xiaoqin's friend, and because you have that kindness in your heart." I want to live up to everyone's expectations. All of this has nothing to do with me."

Xu Li wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Li Jin raising his hand.

"I know, uncle came to look for me, I am now the prince of the empire, your fiancé. It's a bit funny to say, I was jealous that you were Xiaoqin's fiancé, and I never thought that you would become my fiancée in a blink of an eye... But it must be As wise as you are, you must understand that this is just a means to maintain the stability of the empire. There is no one left in the royal family of the Xu family, and even the defense of the imperial city is handed over to the Dragon Knights for temporary management. But at this time, the Dragon Knights The army is in a state of heavy casualties, and the various legions guarding the borders of the empire are a little bit ready to move, there is no better opportunity than now..."

"Master Li Jin..." Xu Li looked at the dark-faced young man in front of him with some difficulty.Even if he stays at home, he still sees these things clearly.

The generals of the frontier army were dissatisfied with the change of the dynasty, but they didn't get much substantial benefits. At most, they sealed a few vacancies and gave a few words of encouragement.They once planned to fight against the Li family under the banner of the Qing emperor and seize control of the court.

But at this time, the queen married the Li family.The marriage between Xu and Li has been a tradition for thousands of years, but it is the first time for the queen to marry.In this way, the Li family is the husband's family of the Hanyun Empire, and if these frontier soldiers fought against the Li family, it would be no different from an open rebellion.

As long as the Li family doesn't go against the grain like the Chen family, coercing the emperor to command the princes, these people will never be known. Even if they really win the dragon cavalry army with the crowd tactics, it will not achieve the effect they want.Besides, no one dared to say that they could win the current remnant dragon cavalry army for sure.

But in this way, the relationship between the imperial family and these frontier generals is somewhat delicate.

"I heard that Mr. Zuo Cheng intends to let you take over Tianji City, but you have never agreed." Xu Li felt a little pain in his heart. Seeing that the conversation was about to stop, he had to change the topic.

"They are too anxious and want the family to take this opportunity to go further. But if it were me, it would be the time for Ji Liu to retreat bravely and bide our time. So let me take over the Li family at this time, it is better to let grandpa keep an eye on it." Li Jin said bluntly To be honest, "I just want to work hard to improve my strength as soon as possible, rescue Xiaoqin, and destroy the Mieshi Palace in one fell swoop."

Xu Li's eyelashes trembled slightly, and finally sighed.You said you were jealous that I was sister Xiaoqin's fiancé, but now you are my fiancé, but I am jealous of sister Xiaoqin...

During this time, both the royal family and the Li family were sweeping out the remnants of the Mie Shi Palace across the country.With the vigilance and cooperation of the local aristocratic families, many forces secretly supported by Mie Shi Gong were uprooted, and the action has achieved good results.But when the envoys sent to the Holy Soul Empire came back, they were a little surprised by the news they brought back, and this news was agreed to be hidden from Li Jin for the time being.

"I want to ask you for help." In the end, Xu Li had no choice but to end the reminiscence between the two of them and talk about serious business.

As Xu Li's fiancé, Li Jin has no relationship with her. Li Jin still feels indebted to such cruelty.He nodded: "Your Majesty, it's okay to say."

Xu Li took out two rolls of parchment and handed them to Li Jin.Li Jin took it and recognized it at a glance. It was the same as the roll of parchment he bought from his uncle Tang Shirong at Taiyu Auction in Danjin City.

He raised his head and looked at Xu Li: "Is this a royal treasure?"

"The royal family originally collected a volume, which seems to have the same source as the two volumes." Xu Li shook his head, "It's just that the original volume of the imperial family has been sold to Master Li."

Li Jin's heart moved, and just as he was about to speak, Xu Li continued: "These two rolls of parchment were copied from Chen Dan's hometown, but I think the master should be very interested. He never appeared again. The master's whereabouts are uncertain, but I think Mr. Li Jin should be able to find him."

"The royal family is looking for Master Li?" Li Jin asked lightly, feeling the inexplicable familiarity revealed in the parchment.

"If possible, Ali would like to meet the master."

"Next time he shows up, I will tell him." Li Jin thought for a while and replied calmly.

"Then thank you very much, young master." Xu Li saluted slightly, hesitated for a while before whispering, "This parchment scroll seems to be related to the Mieshi Palace..."

Li Jin was taken aback when he heard the words, a stern light flashed in his eyes, and he didn't speak for a long time.

After sitting for a while, seeing that Li Jin stopped talking, Xu Li had no choice but to get up: "I've been out for a while, I have to go back."

"I'll send it off to His Majesty." Li Jin said calmly.

"No, sir, please stay." After speaking, Xu Li turned and left.Li Jin also sighed inwardly as he watched her disappearing back outside the door.

As soon as Xu Li left, Gao Ruoxi walked in with a plate of food on his back, and replaced another plate of food that hadn't been touched much in the room indifferently: "What's the matter with you? I just saw that A Li Uh, Her Majesty's eyes are red when she goes out. I can tell you, she is a girl, if you dare to bully her..."

"I'm sorry, sister Ruoxi." Li Jin didn't seem to be listening to what Gao Ruoxi was muttering, "I had captured Chen Xun alive and planned to bring it back to you, but..."

"Oops, since you came back, my ears have been callused after hearing these words." Gao Ruoxi was a little mad, "Didn't I tell you that both their father and son are dead, and my mother will have revenge I can't thank you enough!"

Li Jin was silent.Gao Ruoxi sat next to him, rolled her eyes, and jokingly said, "Did you see Your Majesty and feel a little tangled in your heart, should you just make a fake show with Your Majesty like this? Your Majesty is so beautiful... Oh, I forgot You haven't seen His Majesty in women's clothing yet, let me tell you that it's really a goddess descending to earth..."

Gao Ruoxi pretended to be excited and said, seeing that Li Jin still didn't respond, she was immediately discouraged and said, "Well, I think if it wasn't for the current weakness of the Dragoon Army, you wouldn't even agree to play on the spot, would you?"

Li Jin nodded.Li Wenluo approached him at the beginning and explained to him the domestic situation at that time, as well as the royal family's request for marriage.

Li Jin felt that the heavy casualties of the Dragon Cavalry Army had a lot to do with the battle plan he proposed at the time. At least he didn't expect the last move of the Palace of Extermination to destroy everything, which made him full of guilt and couldn't let it go.Therefore, he agreed to a political marriage with Xu Li.

But in his view, all this is only temporary.There is still a long time before Xu Li's big wedding. As long as the new dynasty passes through this vacuum period of strength, Xu Li may not be able to find someone she likes more. At that time, this paper marriage contract can be dissolved up.

Li Jin silently unfolded the two rolls of parchment in his hand, and looked at them casually.At this time, Gao Ruoxi was still guiding Li Jin from the side.

"It's unreasonable for you to blame all of this on yourself! Didn't the entire senior dragoon army raise any objections at that time? Besides, there is no one who survives a war. The plan you gave, compared to The forced siege has reduced a lot of casualties, okay?"

Li Jin's eyes froze, he bit his finger and smeared some blood on the two rolls of parchment, and observed carefully.

"Besides, don't forget that when you rescued almost all the Tianlong horses in the army, even if you had a little bit of responsibility in the war of recovery, it would be a big deal to offset the merits and demerits! Not to mention that you originally As far as new military exploits are concerned, no one can obliterate this."

Suddenly another roll of parchment appeared in Li Jin's hand, which was exactly the roll that Master Li bought from Tang Shirong at the price of [-] gold coins.Without saying a word, he opened the roll of parchment, wiped some blood on it again, and continued to check.

"Don't keep being depressed like this. The elders of the Li family have paved the way for you and Mr. Li. If you go on like this, can you be worthy of the commander who shoulders all the responsibilities? Hey, are you listening to my old lady? ah!"

"Sister Ruoxi."

"how?"

"Come out with me to relax. Don't disturb anyone."
