My companion is a bit fierce

After sending Li Hongbao away, Rong Jue held the umbrella and listened to the raindrops hitting the umbrella surface. Two lifelike carps were painted on the white umbrella surface, swaying in the rain.Shaking his head and humming an unknown tune, he walked back with strides.The world is gray, and people cannot be seen clearly.Rong Jue stopped and looked at the figure in the distance.

Holding a black umbrella in his hand, the figure walked slowly towards him with a solemn expression: "Ah Jue."

The splashed rain fell into his eyes, and Rong Jue blinked uncomfortably.Suddenly there was a void in my heart.

Qi Lan's black eyes met Rong Jue's directly, and he said: "The cloud pass is broken, King Rong... King Rong is dead..."

The originally light umbrella suddenly gained weight and became too heavy to lift.The surface of the umbrella was stained with black mud, and the carp struggled in the muddy water, and was finally blown away by the strong wind.

The torrential rain was pouring, and Rong Jue wanted to speak several times, but his teeth were crunched and chattered by the cold rain.

"Ah Jue..." Qi Lan tilted the umbrella, allowing himself to get wet.

Rong Jue shook off his hand and roared, "What did you say?!"

"King Rong is gone." Qi Lan repeated word by word, "Yunguan was broken by the Huns, and King Rong died in the city!"

Suddenly there was a thunder in the sky, Rong Jue kept exhaling and inhaling, and the cold rainwater was sucked into his chest by him: "You are lying."

Rong Xu, his father, is King Rong, who has experienced hundreds of battles, the god of war in Mobei, how could those Huns beat him?

"I also hope it's fake." Qi Lan gave a pale wry smile, "The Xiongnu's army was pressing down on the border, and Mobei's troops were already scattered, and King Rong transferred most of his troops to Ningguan to resist Man Jin. The gold is withdrawn, but the Yun Pass has been broken..."

Emperor Tongxi ordered Rong Xu to retreat quickly. In order to repel the barbarian gold as soon as possible and return to defend Ningguan, Rong Xu transferred Dai Yan and Mengli to Ningguan, and guarded Yunguan alone, pretending to make the Huns think that their troops are sufficient.After all, it is impossible for King Rong to go out without bringing enough troops.

Unexpectedly, Yunguan is still gone.

"Before the Xiongnu sent troops, the father also wrote a letter requesting His Majesty to reprimand Manjin, and even made concessions, allowing His Majesty to send troops into Mobei." Rong Jue's voice was hoarse, "However, His Majesty refused."

Qi Lan remained silent.Emperor Tong Xi and Rong Xu were completely at a standstill, and the two saw each other.Before Rong Xu conquered Manjin, he even indulged his soldiers in killing and looting, and wiped out all the cities on the border of Manjin.Rong Xu did this purely to vent his anger and intimidate him, but he didn't expect to anger Emperor Tong Xi even more.

Since he came to the throne, Emperor Tongxi has always regarded himself as a benevolent and righteous monarch. Now that Manjin has bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister, paying tribute every year, it really makes him lose his face in front of Fanbang.

——As soon as he promised to let Rong Xu retreat, Rong Xu massacred at the border with his heel, and even more arrogantly said that he wanted to let the barbarian Jin wipe out his family and country!

This made the old Manjin King sleepless at night, so he hurriedly asked people to detour to Juxialing to go to Beijing overnight to express his loyalty, and offered more beautiful women's gold, claiming that he had no second thoughts.In the eyes of outsiders, Rong Xu is a courtier of Emperor Tongxi, and Rong Xu must follow what he says, but who knows that this pair of monarchs and ministers has long been at odds?

Emperor Tongxi was overwhelmed, and while comforting Man Jinlai envoy, he made people rush to Mobei non-stop, and reprimanded Rongxu sternly.

In the end, Rong Xu still did what he should do, even though Rong Jue was in Beijing, he still went his own way.As an emperor, Emperor Tongxi couldn't hold back his face and directly threatened Rong Xu with Rong Jue. After hinting for a long time, Rong Xu said lightly: "Your Majesty is benevolent, I believe he will take good care of my son."

Emperor Tongxi was so angry that he dumped the book on the spot.

This time Mobei was attacked by two sides, and Emperor Tongxi naturally knew about it, but he calmed down the suggestion of sending troops.This is really unexpected. You must know that the reason why Prince Rong's Mansion can firmly control Mobei is that Dingjing is not allowed to send people there.

Such a good opportunity was wasted by Emperor Tongxi.

The courtiers were helpless, and Emperor Tongxi was unwilling to send troops to help, so they could only hope that Rong Xu could hold Mobei.Until the city of Yunguan was broken.

"Rong Xu... died in battle?" Emperor Tong Xi on the golden throne looked shocked, completely forgetting that the emperor should not show his emotions.If it wasn't for Liu An's quick reaction to stop him, he wouldn't be able to control himself and walked down the steps to ask the messenger again.

Rong Xu, who had been against him all this time, just disappeared like this, as if a gust of wind had blown by, kicking up sand and carrying it to the distance, his whole body and mind were suddenly loosened.

Looking blankly at the officials who were staring at him, a chill suddenly rushed up from the soles of Emperor Tongxi's feet.With Rong Xu gone, Mobei will not be so strong, and Prince Rong is now trapped in Dingjing by him, and this Mobei will soon listen to their surname Qi again.Isn't that right, the Rong family is just guarding the gate for them, guarding the gate of the country, resisting the Huns, and the Nine Passes in Mobei, they should guard it.

Rong Xu, Rong Jue, and the Rong family, they are the ones who should obey him, guarding Mobei for generations.Rong Xu is gone, and Rong Jue... Rong Xu... Rong Xu is gone!

The mood is gone!

Shivering suddenly, Emperor Tong Xi called out: "Rong Xu is gone?!"

"Your Majesty!" the courtiers below repeated, with a mournful tone, "King Rong, you have died in the city! The Cloud Pass has been broken!"

Cloud Gate is gone...

Rong Xu died in battle, Yunguan City was destroyed, and Rong Jue was locked in the capital by him. The Xiongnu army has entered Mobei, and within half a month, they will reach Lingjiang and Dingjing!

"Rong Xu!" Unable to hold back anymore, a mouthful of blood gushed out from Emperor Tong Xi's throat, staining the golden dragon robe red.

"Your Majesty!" Emperor Tong Xi rolled his eyes and fainted directly in the court hall. The courtiers below were panicked, calling for the imperial doctor and the imperial guards, and the hall instantly became a mess.

Three steps in two, Qi Lan strode up the golden steps and shouted: "Quiet!"

After making arrangements in an orderly manner, from the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of Prime Minister Wang's admiring eyes, and Qi Lan bowed: "Your Majesty is in poor health, and Prime Minister Lai is here to assist you with matters in the court."

Prime Minister Wang replied: "Don't dare, this is a matter of duty. The most important thing now is the battle in Mobei. Now His Majesty doesn't know when he will wake up. How will His Highness plan?"

"Naturally, we should dispatch troops as soon as possible." Qi Lan said, "I don't know what the prime minister thinks?"

Prime Minister Wang asked, "Who will be the coach?"

"Can Old General Feng Wei please?"

"The Feng family has practiced naval forces in the south of the Yangtze River for generations, and they are good at water warfare. However, the Xiongnu commanders are all on the ground, and the cavalry is even more invincible. Your Highness is too confident if you compare your own shortcomings with the other's strengths."

Qi Lan was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "The Prime Minister means..."

Prime Minister Wang nodded: "Exactly. Although Prince Rong has lived in Dingjing for a long time, he is not an inexperienced recruit. What's more, I don't believe that Prince Rong dared to let him enter Dingjing without teaching him anything."

"Your Majesty previously ordered that the son of the prince should not leave Beijing for no reason..." After hesitating for a while and frowning, Qi Lan said softly, "What's more, the son of the prince is only sixteen years old..." The battlefield is unpredictable, and Rong Jue still You are young, but you just took a trip to Yunguan, how can you afford this coach?

In addition to being worried about the battle situation, Qi Lan was also worried about Rong Jue's safety, and he was reluctant to put him in danger.In his opinion, even if Rong Jue wants to go to the battlefield, he has to wait another two years and go after training.

The Huns are now acting recklessly in Mobei, and will soon reach Lingjiang. This battle is no small matter, and it can even be said to be a battle that affects the survival of Qi.

"Does Your Highness not trust the old minister or the prince?" Prime Minister Wang asked.

He believes in everyone, but he can't let Rong Jue take this risk.Qi Lan pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Prime Minister Wang said: "Since the founding of the dynasty, there has been peace in the sea, all sides have surrendered, and there has been no war. Only Mobei has been troubled by the Huns, and matters are in a hurry. Therefore, Mobei's affairs have always been handled by the Prince's House alone. The court also doesn't know much about Mobei. Hastily sending people over, not to mention whether the Mobei army can obey orders, who can be clear about the terrain of Mobei?"

"...The prime minister is right." Qi Lan also had to admit that Mobei only recognized King Rong, and sending people there suddenly was of no use. Don't bother to get familiar with it.

With a slight smile, Prime Minister Wang continued: "Prince Rong died under the iron hooves of the Huns, and the Rong family and the Huns royal family have been feuding for generations. This move by the Huns is like a villain entering the house, killing people and stealing money. Prince Rong's son will definitely fight the Huns to the death. "

"Fight to the death?" Qi Lan was stunned, "Is Cheng quite thinking that way?"

"Your Highness?" Prime Minister Wang didn't quite understand, "Young Prince Rong will definitely do his best. As long as he wins, Dingjing will be safe. Why is Your Highness still so worried?"

"As long as you win, right?" Qi Lan said softly, as if confirming something, he repeated it several times.

Prime Minister Wang nodded: "Exactly. The old minister believes that Rong Wang's son will be able to win the battle!"

"It's a win!" Qi Lan repeated, "I think so too."

===

The rain kept falling, and Rong Jue couldn't remember what day it was.

Since Qi Lan came that day, he has been imprisoned in the Rong Palace, and the imperial guards outside the door would nervously clenched the pistol in their hands whenever they noticed his movement.

—He could stab him to death here anytime.

Not to mention Li Hongbao, no one can come.

Dark clouds weighed heavily on the top of the head, and a dull atmosphere enveloped the entire Ding capital.

It seems that in Qi Lan's heart, there are more important things than the death of King Rong.Rong Jue laughed at himself, you fool, sir is right, he will change eventually.

Unable to do anything, Rong Jue sat on the steps, together with Xiao Bai, counting how many drops of water fell from the eaves.

Qi Lan saw this picture as soon as he entered the door.

The sweetheart is listless, and all the high spirits of the past have turned into sorrow in this gloomy weather, condensing between the eyebrows and eyes, and they are alone with the bird.

"Ah Jue—"

Rong Jue continued to count without raising his eyelids.

After walking a few steps, Qi Lan called out again: "Ah Jue, I'll come..."

Rong Jue didn't respond at all, and Qi Lan followed suit.

Everything, in front of the power, is like a bubble, which will be broken at the touch of a touch.

Realizing the change in Rong Jue's attitude, Qi Lan also sat down along the steps.

"One thousand 320 two, one thousand 320 three, one thousand 320 four, one thousand 520 five..."

Qi Lan: "..."

"One thousand 540, one thousand 540 one, one thousand 540 seven..."

Qi Lan: "..."

Ting Rong Jue read for a long time, but he couldn't help it after all, "A Jue, you counted wrong."

Rong Jue: "..." Of course he knew, because this person was sitting next to him, disturbing his mind, no wonder!

But he can only make mistakes and pretend to be calm.

"Ah Jue, father is ill." Qi Lan said, "I'm lying on the dragon bed."

After a pause, Rong Jue turned his neck slightly, his eyes still fixed on the water droplets and continued to count.

Without answering, Qi Lan continued on his own: "Hearing that King Rong is gone, he suddenly collapsed, and everyone panicked..."

He babbled a lot, Rong Jue knew about most of the things, and they even experienced it together, Emperor Tong Xi's eccentric love for Concubine Feng's mother and child, and his neglect and indifference towards Queen Qi Lan.The mother is more expensive according to the son, and the son is more expensive according to the mother. This has always been the case in the harem.

After many years, Qi Lan is already a prince under one person. When talking about these past events, it seems as if they just experienced it yesterday.

Emperor Tongxi was sick and bedridden, and his mind was not clear.This is what Rong Jue knew from his words.

Moreover, judging from the hints from the imperial physician, Emperor Tongxi's health has not been very good for a long time, and the accumulation of minor illnesses has led to decline. Tongxi Emperor is almost dying.

"Ajue, you can't be trapped here... I know, you have never been a person who is willing to sit back and enjoy the rest." Taking a deep breath, Qi Lan said slowly, "Mobei is your home and my country, you ... let's go!"

Rong Jue looked at him without blinking.

Qi Lan said: "No one can trap you, I will let you go, don't worry, do whatever you want."

"Are you serious?" Rong Jue's face was full of unconcealable joy, and his eyes brightened instantly.He opened his mouth, and then thought that if Emperor Tong Xi didn't wake up for a day, Qi Lan's private release of Rong Jue was against the order. He had always been wary of Mo Bei, and there was no guarantee that he would wake up one day and get angry with Qi Lan.

"If His Majesty wakes up..."

"Everything is up to me." Qi Lan interrupted him, "You go, you have won the battle and returned to Beijing, I will definitely go out of the city to welcome you!"
