Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 215 Am I the one who suffers?

The general snorted coldly, and said: "I count on officials like Prime Minister Li to rely on lip service, and I don't expect to help Beixia solve the crisis in Nanzhen. Your Majesty, the old minister requests that your Majesty allocate 15 troops." , the remaining [-] troops guard the border of Beixia and remain motionless, whoever dares to invade, the veterans will definitely beat them back to their hometowns."

"[-] troops?" said a civil servant from Prime Minister Li's side. "The general should not talk about it. Rong Di must be recharging his energy. Maybe there are more than [-] troops. There must be a limit to talking about troops on paper."

At the right time, General Ye Xiu stood up and said: "The general is still guarding the border of Northern Xia to prevent Nanzhen from taking advantage of the gap. I am willing to take [-] troops to the Western Desert to attack Rongdi."

Ye Song also stood up obediently, making Su Ruoqing's hand on the dragon chair tighten, and his fingertips turned white.Ye Song said: "I am willing to assist General Ye and do my best."

Su Ruoqing didn't make a decision that morning, and retreated after only saying a few words.

On the way back, Ye Xiu had a serious face and his handsome eyebrows were drawn together, and said, "A-Song, this trip to the West Desert is far away, and the war is not a joke, what are you going to do? The emperor certainly doesn't want you to go, Today, the court has not made a decision for a long time. You still stay in the capital, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

Ye Song said nonchalantly: "How can I say that I am also a civil servant now. Of course I have to help the country to eat the food of the country. Brother, don't persuade me. As your lieutenant general, I will naturally go with you when you go to war. Those pedantic old masters in the hall saw it and said that you are playing for selfishness."

Ye Xiu said flatly: "They just want our entire Ye family to go to the battlefield and die cleanly."

The general patted Ye Xiu on the shoulder and said: "You can't say that. Our Ye family is a family of generals. After all, we are not the same as them who only know how to eat. It is our ability to defeat the enemy when we go to the battlefield. Ah Song It’s not too young, let her go with you and experience the cruelty of war, otherwise she won’t know how powerful it is.”

"Father," Ye Xiu frowned even deeper, "What if she goes and gets hurt?"

"Isn't there a big brother like you to protect her? I can trust you." The general patted him hard twice again.

"I trust you too." Ye Song also patted Ye Xiu's chest twice, and when he saw Su Chen and Su Jing walking out side by side not far away, he turned around and followed the general, saying, "Don't worry, brother, I will protect myself my own."

Back at the General's Mansion, Ye Qing heard that there was going to be a war, and also heard that Ye Song was going to the West Desert with him, he was so anxious that he wanted to go with him.In order to prove that she was not slowing down, she listed in detail how many military books she had read and how many weapons she knew. Finally, she took out the crossbow she made a long time ago, and shot an arrow between Ye Xiu and the general, directly into the The door buzzed and trembled, the general and Ye Xiu were both shocked and silent, and Ye Qing said proudly: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, isn't it just for today that I study so much. Anyway, I will go wherever the second sister goes." where!"

Ye Song rubbed his eyebrows: "Ah Qing, don't make trouble."

When the catkins grew wildly in March, the journey to fight back against Rong Di was quickly settled, and Ye Xiu led the expedition.Although Su Jing did not intervene in the affairs of the military camp, at the invitation of the general, he still came to the general's mansion to discuss with Ye Xiu the war with Rongdi.

Everything went smoothly.

However, regarding Ye Song, Su Jing and Ye Xiu stood on the same side, and said, "It's a long way to go to the West Desert. It's too inconvenient for the second lady to be in the army camp, so it's better not to go."

Ye Song crossed his legs, propped his face sideways with one hand, and said with a half-smile: "Then why did I participate in martial arts? Isn't it just to serve the country and the emperor? When this day really comes, how can people from my Ye family do it?" Shy about the head and the tail? Please don’t worry, the virtuous king, I have my own measure and I won’t cause trouble for anyone.”

Ye Xiu then had something to do and wanted to go to the barracks first, so he left Ye Song to entertain Su Jing.Now that Su Jing is no longer the flamboyant Su Jing, Ye Xiu is very relieved to put Ye Song with him.

But after Ye Xiu left, there was a brief silence in the front hall.Ye Song put down his legs and stood up, stretched his hands, stretched his waist, stretched his muscles and bones, and played with his taste: "Will the virtuous king stay and have dinner before leaving?"

"No need." Su Jing said lightly.

Ye Song walked towards the outside and said, "Then, please do what you want, my lord."

He just took two steps, and suddenly the faint fragrance of plum blossoms came with the wind. Su Jing, dressed in purple, was in front of him, and he reached out to hold Ye Song's arm.Ye Song turned his head and looked at him noncommittally.

No matter how struggling and how stormy the sea was in her heart, she always had that calm expression on the surface.

Su Jing frowned slightly and said, "Don't go."

"Are you worried about me?" Ye Song said leisurely, "I remember you told me that we have nothing to do with each other, so there's no need to let you take care of it."

Su Jing continued: "Rongdi people are very barbaric. If you let them know that there is a female general in Beixia, they will definitely try to catch you, and the consequences will be disastrous."

"Are you worried about me?" Ye Song narrowed his eyes and asked again.

Su Jing lowered her eyes and stopped talking.Ye Song turned around and left, but behind him he suddenly said to himself, "Maybe, I really knew Ye Song in the past."

Ye Song paused, looked at the sunny sky, and smiled slightly: "Then in your impression, do you think I'm a disadvantaged person? If they want to catch me, they will definitely catch me? Don't worry, I will Will be careful."

It was midnight, Ye Song suddenly opened his eyes while half asleep and half awake, sat up from the bed, and vigilantly saw a person sitting beside the bed.It was difficult to see his appearance in the dim light, but Ye Song knew who he was, and leaned lazily on the head of the bed, asking in a sleepy voice, "When did you come?"

"Just came." He reached out to shake Ye Song's hand, warm and cool, "Ah Song, are you still blaming me?"

Ye Song smiled lightly and shook his head: "You came in the middle of the night just to ask this?"

"You are going to suppress bandits and catch thieves, and you are going to investigate corrupt officials and provoke enemies, I agree. But if you don't blame me, why do you have to go to Ximo?"

Ye Song said softly: "That's what I decided from the beginning. In this life, there are many things you can do, not just love for children. If I can't stay with you forever, it's good to be able to protect the country for you. Compared to dying of old age in the backyard of the deep palace, I think I prefer to spill blood on the battlefield." She looked at him quietly, "You ask me if I blame you, what's the use of me blaming you or not blaming you. Now that I think about it , I did this not only for you, but also for my family. Our Ye family has dedicated ourselves to the court and Beixia. The world only sees the bright side. One of the Ye family is the general of Beixia and the other is General Wei. It's so majestic. But when you go to the battlefield, it's father and son together. My elder brother Ye Xiu hasn't married yet, my Ye family has no descendants, and my father hasn't seen a full house of children and grandchildren. How can I not follow? If I can help My brother, why don't I go?"

Su Ruoqing was speechless, and Ye Song smiled calmly: "It's because I think of people too beautifully, and I also think of feelings too simply. Feelings are not only between men and women, but also family and friendship. People also have emotions and hypocrisy." persistent."

He leaned over and silently took Ye Song into his arms, his arms were like iron hoops, unshakable.He said, "A Song, I was wrong."

Ye Song tilted his head slightly, leaning on Su Ruoqing's shoulder, at least the tranquility he brought her has not changed.It's just that she couldn't bear to be deceived and used, and said: "You are the emperor, and the emperor should be ruthless. In this way, there is nothing wrong with you."

"I am the emperor, so can I order you not to go to the West Desert?"

"Okay," Ye Song replied with a smile, "but from now on, you won't be able to climb into my room through the window in the middle of the night."

The next day, [-] troops gathered on the outskirts of the city.Ye Xiu and Ye Song were standing in front of them, both in military uniforms and riding horses, with imposing arms.The east wind that was blowing this day blew the battle flag with the word "North Xia" painted on it in black.

The soldiers were ready to go, their morale was boosted, and they waited for the emperor to personally see off the soldiers of the three armies at the city gate.

This is Ye Song's first time wearing a battle armor. The armor is a bit heavy, but it is heroic.

As the horn blew, a deserted bright yellow figure appeared on the high tower, it was Su Ruoqing.With his hands behind his back, he listened to Ye Xiu's report on the situation downstairs. After the horn was blown, he held the drumstick in his hand and raised his arm to beat the war drum next to him. He said in a clear voice, "Rongdi barbarians bully our people in Northern Xia. The soldiers of the three armies obey the orders." , Retire Rong Di, An Tianxia, ​​I will wait for your triumphant return!"

The soldiers roared loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Ye Song looked up, she couldn't see Su Ruoqing's face clearly on the tower, she just felt that Su Jing was standing next to Su Ruoqing.

Ji Lin and other lieutenants turned around and walked in front of the soldiers, leading them out of the city gate in an orderly manner and heading towards the West Desert.Ye Song and Ye Xiu followed after turning around.Ye Song looked around and said, "Where is Ah Qing?"

Ye Xiu raised the reins and said, "I tied her up while she was asleep."

"You didn't make her cry, did you?"

Ye Xiu didn't feel guilty: "I cried, but what can I do?"

Just in time, there was a rushing sound of horseshoes from behind, and dust filled the sky.Ye Song turned his head and saw a man in black with wide sleeves sitting on a horse, leaning forward and rushing towards him.In the wind and dust, his sleeves were full of wind, and his black hair floated back, forming a beautiful arc.

Soon he caught up with him, and Ye Song squinted his eyes and was taken aback.

It's Su Chen.

Ye Xiudun bowed his horse and said, "The third prince is in a hurry to chase him out, what else can I order?"

Su Chen's cold and handsome aura was natural, he pursed his lips in awe, and said, "I'll walk with you."

Ye Song frowned, and said angrily, "Why are you walking with us?"

Su Chen smiled coldly, looked at Ye Song and said: "This king is going to supervise the army this time, why don't you stay in the capital if you don't go with you?" After finishing speaking, he rode his horse forward, "Drive! "

Ye Song followed closely behind, and said in a sarcasm, "Supervisor? I remember that the Third Prince was not the minister of Dali Temple. When did he become a supervisor?"
