The 32nd year of Yuan Ding · July 23rd.

Eldest Princess Li Xian's double tenth birthday.

Li Zhao has been in poor health since the death of Yongwang Li Teng, and Li Xian specifically asked not to be extravagant, and only set up a few tables to invite the prince Li Zhu, the second princess Li Yan, the prince Li Pei, three members of the royal family, and the family members of the aristocratic family who are familiar with the capital.

In the main hall, two siblings sit opposite each other.

"Sister, here are twenty luminous pearls. If you put twenty of them in one room, they will be as bright as day. I will present it to my sister as a gift for her double tenth birthday."

There was a slight dimple on Li Xian's lips, her expression was gentle, and she signaled Xiao Ci to put away the gift.

"Pearl has a heart."

Li Zhu looked at Li Xian for a long time, and said: "My sister seems to have lost a lot these days, but is the cook in the mansion unhappy? Do you want me to release the imperial cook who served my sister before?"

Li Xian looked at Li Zhu with relief: "Zhu'er has really improved, so sister doesn't have to worry."

Li Zhu heard what Li Xian said, and smiled ashamedly: I can't help but recall that when Li Zhong was still there, the two siblings had quarreled several times. Now that I think about it, I was rude. Now that the father is in ill health, I am in charge of the country. In the past half a year, he has grown a lot. Only when he really broke away from the protection of his eldest sister and stood alone on a high place, did he really understand how much Li Xian has paid for him.

"Sister, is brother-in-law still not coming back?" Li Zhu suddenly mentioned Lin Feixing.

"Her... this is the time when the northern border is tense."

Li Xian hid it very well and did not let Li Zhu see any clues, but Xiao Ci, who knew the inside story, gave Li Xian a distressed look.

"The northern border is busy with military affairs, thank you brother-in-law."

Northland

"Big guy!"

"See Master!"

"Well, how's the progress?" Lin Wanyue was wearing a military uniform, followed by Youqin who never left.

"Back to Commander, there are not many stones left. All the stones from the neighboring cities have been transported. The project is huge. The current stones are only one out of ten..."

Lin Wanyue stood on the city wall of Yangguan City, looking to the east as far as the eye could see. The winding city wall stretched to a place beyond sight.

Said to be the city wall, it seems to be a little short of fire, and it is less than half a foot high.

In the last war, although Yangguan City was successfully defended and the alliance of the five Huns was temporarily destroyed, Lin Wanyue looked at the endless corpses under Yangguan City, and suddenly felt war-weary.

She began to understand the meaning of the sentence that Li Mu left her at the end of his life: fighting to support war, point to the end.

Lin Wanyue couldn't help sighing. Once upon a time, when she was young and vigorous, she held some military power in her hands. In addition, Lin Yu died in battle. The new and old hatred made her hatred for the Huns swell to the peak, and even thought of exterminating the Huns. Time has passed, and when she really grasped the military power in the northern border, she realized how arrogant she was back then.

Fortunately, she corrected her mentality, otherwise, she would have been truly devastated. To realize her original wish, the soldiers in the northern border would have to die in many battles!

Now she has realized the weight of this handsome seal.

She began to think, when will the war end?How much blood is left on this long border.

So, at the beginning of Yuanding 32, Lin Wanyue came up with a bold idea.

There are fourteen cities bordering the Xiongnu in the north. If these cities are connected by a wall several feet high and completely cut off the contact between the Xiongnu and the people of Liguo, can many wars be avoided?

Fortunately, there are many craftsmen in Yangguan City, plus hundreds of thousands of troops marching together, making the impossible possible.

Taking advantage of last year's heavy snowfall, Lin Wanyue ordered craftsmen to use special paint to draw lines and nail the posts.

As soon as the permafrost period is over, the work will begin.

It's just that it's easy to think about it, but it encounters many obstacles in real action.

Now there are no more stones available in the entire northern border!

After a few days, it was the Battle of the Autumn Harvest. This poor city wall was only built half a foot high, and some places were not even connected, so it could not play any defensive role at all; After the battle, the permafrost period came again, and it was even more difficult to dig mountains and rocks.

The real time left for them is only a few months every year. The city wall has to be completed, and I don't know when it will be...

Lin Wanyue doesn't intend to give up, even if she spends her whole life in the northern border, as long as she can complete this project before her eyes are closed, she can die with peace!

"Since there are no ready-made stones available in the northern territory, we need to excavate nearby mountains to dig stones! There is still some time before the autumn harvest, so hurry up and do as much as you can."

"Yes!"

Lin Wanyue took Youqin to inspect the barracks, and then returned to the Marshal's Mansion.

Standing in the yard, Lin Wanyue suddenly asked: "Youqin, what day is today?"

"Back to Commander, July 23."

"Oh, you go down first."

"Yes."

Lin Wanyue stood with her hands behind her back, looked at the four corners of the sky above her head, and murmured: "July 23..."

"Lin Feixing was born in Daze County on April 12th in the 29th year of Yuanding, and Li Xian was born in Beijing on July 12rd in the 23th year of Yuanding; these two people have a Liuhe number..."

Early the next morning, Youqin sees you.

Lin Wanyue was neatly dressed and sat in the main seat.

Youqin first looked at Lin Feixing's complexion when entering the door. Seeing Lin Feixing's look tired, she asked softly: "The commander didn't sleep well last night? Do you want your subordinates to do acupuncture for you?"

Ever since Youqin followed Lin Feixing, she found that Lin Feixing had been sleeping badly. Sometimes Youqin would secretly watch outside Lin Feixing's door at night, and she could often hear Lin Feixing waking up from a nightmare.

Youqin begged hard, and Lin Feixing agreed to acupuncture for him to soothe his nerves. Youqin tried his best to make medicinal food for Lin Feixing, but within a few days, gray hair grew on Lin Feixing's temples. Xin Li found tranquilizing grass for Lin Feixing, and then he slept peacefully for a few days, how could he feel tired again?

Youqin stared at Lin Feixing, the worry in her eyes was clear at a glance.

Lin Wanyue looked up at Youqin, a trace of helplessness flashed in her heart, she waved her hand: "It's okay, I thought about something last night, I slept late, you came to see me at this hour, what's the matter?"

Youqin took out a letter from her bosom, and handed it to Lin Feixing with both hands: "Commander, please let me hand over to you the letter written by Queen Mansha of Toumanbu."

Lin Wanyue frowned, but still took the letter, tore open the envelope, and shook out the rice paper.

After reading the letter, Lin Wanyue sneered: "Idiots are dreaming, thinking that I will help her repel the Maodun tribe? Hah."

Lin Wanyue unceremoniously crumpled the letter into a ball and held it in her hand.

"Youqin, I don't care what tasks you were assigned in the past, from now on you must not have any contact with the Xiongnu, remember?"

"……Yes!"

"Go down."

Youqin didn't leave, hesitated for a moment, looked at Lin Feixing, and said cautiously: "Commander, my subordinates... have something to say."

"speak."

"Marshal, this subordinate has been in the Xiongnu for three years. Before returning to the northern border, he has obtained enough evidence. There is a mysterious person in the Modun department. It can be concluded that this person is a member of a certain vassal king from the Li country; this person is ambitious. It is obvious that this person is operating in the Wuhu alliance, and the Modun tribe itself is the largest tribe of the Huns. If it is allowed to annex the other four tribes, the Maodun tribe will have no worries at the time. Great disaster; before returning, this subordinate received... His Royal Highness's order to assassinate the second prince of the Modun tribe and prevent the marriage between the Modun tribe and the Touman tribe, so as to prevent the Touman tribe from getting out of control, and also cause cracks in the joint five tribes from within , Now, the day when our army’s fortifications will be completed is far away, please ask the commander... to reconsider Mansha’s request, the subordinates believe that it is not the time to abandon the Touman Department.”

Lin Wanyue sat on the main seat with a gloomy expression.

"You go down."

"……Yes."

Youqin retreated from the main hall, and for a moment, she almost revealed all the truth.

But at the last moment, she held back.

She is an orphan, raised to be needed since she was a child, and has been obeying her master's orders for 20 years. No one will care about her life.

For a long time, even she herself took it for granted.

Until that day, she was ordered to successfully assassinate the second prince of the Modun tribe, and was chased and killed by the king of Modun for hundreds of miles.

Along the way, she brushed shoulders with the god of death several times, and was on the verge of death again and again, which made Youqin, who has always spared her life, feel scared.

Finally returned to Yangguan City, when the rope was shot, she really thought that her life would end like that.

At the moment of confusion, a person descended from the sky with a large solid shield on his back. His voice was beautiful, and he called, "Girl?"

Although he was so weak that he couldn't open his eyes, he knew everything he did. He hugged himself tightly, and didn't let go at the moment of decision.

The Wolf Poison Arrow was shot at, and the man held himself tightly in his arms without hesitation.

She knows all of this.

As the banner owner, unless you are dead, you must never lose consciousness completely.

The princess gave herself to this man like an item, followed her for several months, watching him sleepless at night, haunted by nightmares, watching his gray hair all night...

Youqin wished she could die to offset the suffering he had endured.

It's a pity that this person respects him enough, but he never takes it seriously.

That day, Youqin saw Lin Feixing lose control for the first time. As a woman, Youqin understood: fury is just an appearance, the real reason is that she cares too much.

Youqin knew that she was not worthy of Lin Feixing no matter what, if she could stand behind him for the rest of her life, cook for him and take care of his body, she would be satisfied.

Therefore, she would never take the initiative to tell Lin Feixing that the princess made an oath with the Touman tribe back then that she would never commit any crime against the northern border autumn.

Whether you say she is selfish or ungrateful, Youqin knows that Lin Feixing's persistence and stubbornness have tied him to the northern border, and he refuses to return to Beijing.

If Lin Feixing knew the whole truth...

Youqin didn't dare to bet, even if she would never have anything to do with Lin Feixing in this life, as long as she could be with him every day, she would be satisfied.

If one day, Lin Feixing asked?

That is, her life is over...
