Your Majesty will suffer

Tuoba Wen has sent troops to fight back against Xiping Mansion, and is anxiously waiting for the news!Unexpectedly, two days later, the long-awaited good news did not arrive, and it was replaced by bad news: his 5000 troops were ambushed in the middle of the road, and the entire army was wiped out!Until the moment when he was captured, Lin Baozhen suddenly realized: This is actually a trick that the Liang people set up early in the morning to lure the enemy!

The number of guards in Xingqing Mansion and the Liang army is very small, and there is not enough food and grass in the city, so it can last for a while, and guarding behind closed doors is definitely not a long-term solution!Tuoba Wen knew this, and when he was sighing for the end of the situation, he heard that Emperor Liang went to Xiping Mansion in person, so he was overjoyed!He has always been arrogant and cunning, and his strengths are surprise and surprise, and he likes to sneak attack when others are not prepared. Now that a good opportunity comes, how can he miss it in vain?But they didn't know that this was originally a trap set by the monarchs and ministers of the Liang Dynasty painstakingly!

Xingqing Mansion is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to conquer the city as soon as possible, the only way is to lure the enemy out of the city!However, Tuoba Wen thought deeply, knowing that there is no chance of winning with few enemies, how could he fall for it so easily?At this time, the Son of Heaven wanted to go north to supervise the war, and the ministers thought that they had gone through the danger, but they could not resist it strongly. Although they were very helpless, they also came up with a trick to lure the enemy deep!

Now the plan has come true, but it's a pity that Tuoba Wen didn't come in person, otherwise, the Xingqing Mansion would be destroyed by itself!

As for Yu Jia's present --- the so-called emperor has no jokes, since the imperial edict to conquer Xiping mansion has been issued, there is no reason to take it back!It is true that Yueling went north because of this, but the journey was slow, but he followed Du Yunzhi's advice: he swindled Tuobawen with the false news that Yujia had arrived at Xiping Mansion!Moreover, the remnants of Qiang and Jie in the city will definitely move after hearing the news, and they can catch them all in one go and eliminate all hidden dangers!

This plan was almost complete, except that there was nothing unexpected: Yu Jia walked this way, but it was several days later than expected!This is all because of the wind and cold on the way, so I had to stay in Yanzhou for the time being!And when he really arrived at Xiping Mansion, it was already ten days later.

Besides, there are still more than [-] defenders in Xingqing Mansion, Tuoba Wen dare not act rashly again!Staying behind closed doors seems to have become the last resort.As for the side of Wulahai City, the Jin army began to attack the city. The situation should be the same as here, and it is difficult to improve for a while.From this point of view, the two armies are on par, and it is difficult to judge who will be able to take the first step and seize the three towns including Keyimen.

After more than ten days, it was gone in a blink of an eye, and it was the Qianning Festival.Since Nangong Ji promised Yue Ling to give an explanation, he dared not neglect it.Let's say that these days I stay behind closed doors and devote myself to this, but in the end I feel unsatisfactory.

When the mystery was revealed that day, Yue Ling was amazed, but he couldn't help laughing: No wonder he didn't want to show it to others.

In other words, because of the Qianyuan Festival every year, it is normal to present congratulatory gifts to enter the palace. Even though today is not as good as before, Nan Gongji didn't want to make an exception, but it was embarrassing when he left Beijing in a hurry and had no possessions.After thinking about it, I wanted to ask the old man Chu for a plaything to offer, but the birds, beasts, fish and insects have already been offered, so it's not surprising!After some deliberation, I thought that although the object was ordinary, it should be different if I did it myself!

When the old man heard about it, he was willing to give it all he had, but it's a pity that this skill can only be achieved after a day or two of practice.After more than half a month, Nan Gongji didn't even get the fur, or it was thanks to the help of the old man that he managed to "die well"!As for avoiding people back then, it was because it was a vulgar interest after all, and he didn't want to teach Yue Ling early on, so that he could act sneakily, and he didn't want to arouse others' suspicions and make speculations out of thin air.

Hearing the ins and outs, Yue Ling smiled and said: "I originally said that this villain's eyebrows and eyes are so weird. Could it be that the old man Chu is old and his eyes are dazzled, and his hand skills are not as good as before! But it's from your hands, so it's no wonder. "

Everyone laughed secretly when they heard it.Turn to look at the wooden carving again: it is a little fisherman, wearing a coir raincoat, sitting cross-legged, at first glance, there is some poetic elegance of "fishing alone in the cold river and snow"!It's a pity that this puppet is not suitable for scrutiny: even though the eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose are still distinct, they are of different sizes and shapes, and those strange shapes are crowded on one face, making people laugh out of thin air !

On the contrary, Nan Gongji didn't feel embarrassed, instead he taught the man to fetch a glass of water with great interest, put it in front of the villain, and put the wooden fish hanging from the end of the fishing rod into the water, but saw that the fish turned its tail left and right like it was alive!

When everyone saw it, they couldn't help applauding.But Yueling scoffed: "This is the work of old man Chu!" Even though he said that, he looked at the man with joy in his eyes.

It was late at night, and it was finally quiet.

Yue Ling looked at the villain who didn't know whether he was stupid or ugly on the table, stretched out his finger to lift the fishing line, saw the little fish swaying left and right with the line, couldn't help smiling, and said angrily: "It's not like being in Beijing at this moment, why bother?" !"

The man leaned a few inches closer: "Traveling for a long time is boring, I have no other request for it, but I just want to make you smile!"

With a heat on his face, Yue Ling tilted his head to cover up the blushing look on his face.The next moment, he seemed to think of it again, and said: "Speaking of which, the old man Chu has been gone these days, and there is no news at all. It really is unpredictable."

Nan Gongji felt the same, frowned slightly, and said in a deep thought: "I heard that he has an old friend in Xingqing Prefecture..."

Yue Ling was stunned: "So, does he want to see an old friend?" Then, he felt emotional again: "In troubled times, who knows whether he can fulfill his wish..."

Nan Gongji couldn't bear to see him feel sad, so he changed the subject and said, "Time flies so fast, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, it's not a pleasant feeling to think that New Year's Day will be spent in this closed place."

Yue Ling heard the words and seemed a little lost.After a while, he raised his eyes and smiled faintly: "Let's say that when I was young, I wanted to go out of the palace to travel around the world, can this time be my wish fulfilled?"

Nangongji smiled back: "This trip back to the north, although there is a reason and many unexpected events, but in the end there is no danger! Speaking of this, I remember that I should have you to travel together in the rivers and lakes, and I never thought about it. God's will has been fulfilled! However..." After pondering, "It's bitter cold in the north, and we've gone through wars. If we talk about traveling, it's really not satisfactory. Why don't you return to Beijing here, and you and I will find a good time to go out for a trip. how?"

Yue Ling Wenzhi just smiled, not sure if it was a joke.After a while of silence, I raised my hand and rubbed my forehead, and said slowly: "I have experienced a lot in these days, and I began to think to myself, since the defeat of Qiang and Jie, whether I have been too arbitrary and self-willed in everything here? In the Northwest, taking personal risks, penetrating into other territories, and doing things that are not human...do you make the same mistakes again and again?"

Nangongji thought it was a surprise when he heard this, and Fang wanted to speak, but he sighed again: "I'll let go of other things and not talk about it, it will hurt you... If you really encounter something unexpected at that time, I..."

Nangongji frowned, and interrupted him softly: "Ling, the past is gone, why should you worry about it? And am I safe now?!"

Hearing this, the man didn't know whether he was relieved, but he closed his eyes and buried his head in the chest of the person beside him, speechless for a long time.

Late at night, the fragrance from the branch of wintersweet on the desk seems to be more refreshing.

On the couch, a tired voice said: "It's late at night, why don't you go?"

The person sitting on the edge of the bed lightly said: "It's okay, I'm not tired yet, you just go to sleep, I will accompany you for a while."

After a moment of silence, the person on the bed moved slightly inward and made room outside.

Nangongji understood, smiled, and lay down with his clothes on.She stretched out her hand to embrace the man, but heard a faint sigh: "Ji, do you think I shouldn't have fought for the throne back then? If so, you and I might not be like this today..."

Nan Gongji was really helpless, so he could only persuade him: "The so-called God's will is unpredictable, if it is true, you and I may not be as good as the present, but you must know that your second brother is not forgiving!"

Although this remark was joking, Yue Ling was startled when he heard it.Lost for a moment, he said faintly: "Ji, until now, have you ever regretted it... If it wasn't for me, these accidents might not have happened to you, and you don't have to be so embarrassing..." I haven't heard of my body for a long time The person next to me made a sound, and in a state of apprehension, he buried his head in the pillow and said vaguely: "If you really regret it, I don't blame you. When I go back to Beijing, I will..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, and he had turned his body around, forcing him to look at him, and said word by word: "What are you going to do? Send me back to Shu? No communication from now on?"

Just hearing the words "no contact with each other", Yue Ling felt a pain in his heart, and his breath seemed to be heavy!It was difficult to say anything at the moment, and he just stared blankly at the person in front of him.

"When did I say I regretted it?" After a sigh, the anger on the man's face finally turned into unbearable and helpless, "I once said something, but you believe in me, I will never betray you! Have you forgotten Is it?"

The sound is silent.The people under him closed their eyes and said nothing, but their complexion gradually eased.

The wind outside the house was raging, and the candle on the desk seemed to flicker and extinguish accordingly, casting a fuzzy black shadow on the tent. . .

The night is still long.

How much meaning is hidden in the embroidered curtain, and the two know each other without saying a word.
