The emperor's favorite useless concubine

Chapter 219

He Lan has no time to be in charge of intelligence affairs all the time, and he knows all the important events and people in various countries like the palm of his hand.

"Listen, he has no flaws?" He Lan Wushuang looked at his younger brother with a funny face, and asked casually, but behind the smile, there was no smile at all.

There was deep guard in the dark eyes.

He Lan Wuxia didn't pay attention to his expression, leaned back, and said with a smile: "Compared to big brother, Yan Zihao has a very fatal weakness, of course, it can also be called an advantage."

"What is it?"

"Stubborn, he will listen to other people's opinions, but if he believes in something, he will do it regardless of the swords and swords in front of him. When he removed the powers of several of his uncles, I don't know what happened. People betrayed relatives, how many people persuaded him to give up, how many people threatened and lured him, he still insisted on going his own way. Although he won with a clever strategy in the end, it was like picking a chestnut from the fire. The danger was abnormal. But from the beginning to the end, even a man with a million troops In the siege, he still did not waver in the slightest, it can be said that he is a person with a strong will."

"How do you listen, is it still an advantage?" He Lan Wushuang smiled, exerting force in his hands.

The note was reduced to crumbs.

"What's the matter, big brother? Do you think Yan Zihao has a headache?" He Lan Wuxia finally noticed the gloomy look in his big brother's eyes, stood up and asked with concern.

"It's a headache..." He Lan Wushuang smiled slightly, and then said to himself, "But it's not just him who gives me a headache."

He Lan Wuxia didn't understand clearly, and asked: "Who else?"

Helan Wushuang smiled indecisively, but gave an order lightly, "Let Xi'er come back, I would rather lose that city than let her be in such danger."

He Lan Wuxia immediately became happy, and ran to give orders in a hurry.

He also worried about her for a long time.

Early the next morning, when Dugu Xi was about to go to the bamboo forest to see Yan Zihao to settle the battle, He Lan Wushuang's secret order also arrived.

There are three secret orders in a row, which are stricter than the eighteen gold medals given to Yue Fei back then.

He Lan Wushuang didn't say a word about Yan Zihao, but only said: "Stop, come back!"

Dugu Xi read those three words for a long time.

My heart is warm.

Even if she became famous on the battlefield, it was not what she wanted.

All she wanted was to stand side by side with him, neither looking up nor looking down, neither humble nor overbearing.No matter how many years later, you can face him proudly and fearlessly.Love calmly and self-respect.

Therefore, these three words of Helan Wushuang are very important to her.

She wants to feel his urgency and concern.

However, the city is just as important.

He cared about her, but she couldn't let him down.

Dugu Xi closed the papers, put them away carefully, then draped his robe in the wind, and turned on his horse heroically.

On that day, she did not follow orders to go back, but went to Yan Zihao's appointment.

Sipping tea and playing chess with Yan Zihao in the bamboo forest.

Take the chessboard as the battlefield.

Take chess pieces as the layout.

each side.

They played chess for a day and a night, and the situation on the chessboard was changing, but there was still no winner.

And that day and night, He Lan Wushuang looked up at the starry sky with his hands behind his back, thinking about a question repeatedly.

——Dugu Xi's influence is already too great.If she leaves him, or falls in love with Yan Zihao instead, it will be a catastrophe for Tianchao.

Her feelings for him, except for that night's kiss, have never been clear.

The woman who once attracted all his attention is no longer the only one he obeys.

He sensed her shadow.

"Brother, sister-in-law just doesn't want to lose that city." He Lan Wuxia saw his brother's mood and advised him from the side.

"She's not your sister-in-law, she's the one and only Lonely Lady Xi. How can I control her?" He Lan Wushuang corrected her lightly, her expression already cold.

He Lan Wuxia was stunned for a moment, thinking that his elder brother was angry at Xi'er's disobedience, and didn't take it too seriously.

And that night, when Yan Zihao filled in the last piece, looked at the full chessboard, raised his head, and said with a smile: "It seems that I won a piece."

"It seems that I won a piece."

Duguxi looked at the chessboard a lot, and finally sighed, "It is true that I lost... It's just that I didn't take this kind of ancient chess seriously."

"Ancient chess." Yan Zihao was stunned, then smiled, "This chessboard has a history, if Miss Dugu likes it, I will give it to you."

"No, I'm willing to admit defeat. I'll take everyone out of that city tomorrow. But... I only promised to withdraw, and didn't promise not to take it back." Dugu Xi said calmly: "I will withdraw tomorrow, no After one month, we will have another [-] troops to encircle and suppress this city, this place is far away from Yan Kingdom's supply, I am afraid it will be difficult to defend."

"So, even if I win now, it won't help?" Yan Zihao looked at Dugu Xi with a funny face, seeing her serious and cunning.

"Yes. Because I will stop at any cost until I get it back again. You will never have peace for a moment." Dugu Xi raised her head slightly, her beautiful face was full of conceited luster.

"I can't get peace anymore." Yan Zihao smiled and said, "Since I got it, I have to lose it again, so can I change the bet?"

"What do you want to change it to?"

"I would like to invite you to Yan Country as a guest for a month." Yan Zihao said with a light smile, "Any time is fine. As long as you agree, I will withdraw my troops immediately."

"Then you are at a great loss? If I go to Yan Country, won't I be afraid that I will take the opportunity to stir up chaos in Yan Country?" Dugu smiled, and his laughter was so hot that he couldn't tell whether he agreed or disagreed.

"You're welcome. Then I'm waiting for Madam to come. I hope to see you as soon as possible." Yan Zihao said, he had already stood up, saluted very gracefully, and then retreated.

Dugu Xi watched him leave, and said to himself amusedly: Anytime?Then when I help Wushuang move into Yan Country, we will meet again after you become a prisoner.

She also stood up and was about to go back when Xiao Wu, who had been staying in the city, came running out of breath, holding his waist and said out of breath: "Ma'am, Mr. Wushuang has come in person, and he is on the way now. I heard that three It will arrive at a later date."

Dugu was overjoyed.

He Lan Wushuang really came in person.

But not three days later, but the evening of the next day.

He advanced into the tent of the Chinese army camp to get the soldier talisman, and then walked lightly into Dugu Xi's sleeping tent. At that time, the night was falling and Dugu Xi was sleeping.

He walked to her bed, bent down, and watched her face through the night outside.

Dugu Xi, who was asleep, finally lost the brilliance and power of the day, and was quiet and peaceful like an ordinary woman.

Tenderness surged in his heart, and he stretched out his hand involuntarily to caress that moonlight-like beautiful face.

When her fingers touched her cheek, she frowned slightly, and then opened it, with a smile on her lips.

She was already awake, but she didn't open her eyes.

"Xi'er." He Lan Wushuang smiled slightly, leaned into her ear, and whispered: "Do you still remember the promise two years ago? I will marry you."
