In early winter, the further north you go, the colder the weather becomes.Accustomed to the warmth of Shengjing City, Changle is not used to such a dry and cold climate.Originally, he planned to enjoy the scenery on the road, but now he just dared to hide in the carriage and hold the hand warmer in a daze.

"My servant heard that the winter in Dongyue is very long, it is very cold for half a year, and there is also a lot of snow there. Fortunately, we packed a lot of winter clothes when we came, otherwise it would be really cold to death." Qin While blocking the ventilation of the carriage with strips of cotton cloth, Er'er couldn't help thinking about it.

Ping'er was a little worried and said: "The wedding procession is going so fast, the princess has been suffering from cough for the past two days, she should stop to rest. Just now the servant and the chief guard mentioned this matter, but he said that the emperor has orders, Arrive in Dongyue as soon as possible, without delay in the middle. This is what to do."

Chang Le said: "Father is worried about the war in Huaizhong, the sooner the wedding team arrives in Dongyue, the sooner Dongyue can send troops."

Although she didn't think that a congenial princess could contain Dongyue.If Dongyue really valued Princess Qi, she would not be treated like this at this moment.To put it bluntly, instead of a marriage, what Dongyue wanted was a large amount of cloth and food that followed the wedding procession.As for Huaizhong, Dongyue also coveted it.However, Shengjing's control over Huaizhong was too weak. If Dongyue occupied Huaizhong, how could they easily give it up.

As an outsider, Changle could understand such an obvious truth.But Li Huai was blinded by the demons in his mind, he may also see clearly, but he doesn't want to see clearly.

"You two should wear more too, it's important to take care of your body."

Chang Le's voice was a little hoarse, and she also spoke with a little nasal sound. From time to time, she covered her nose and mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice. Her already thin cheeks became thinner now, which made Qin'er Ping'er feel distressed.

"It's only halfway through. The weather gets colder as we go forward. How can the princess's body survive?" Ping'er wiped away her tears, took out a blanket from her bag and put it on Changle's body. The more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged for the princess.

Although he was in a hurry, the chief guard did not dare to treat the princess too harshly, and tried to avoid sleeping in the open at night.Today's rush is also because there are no towns nearby, and they need to rush to the post station to rest.

Along the way, Changle has lived in many post stations, and the environment of the post stations is relatively poor.The inn in front of me is also simple and simple, but the difference is that this inn is very clean.Yi Cheng came up to meet him, took the horse from the guard's hand and led it to the backyard to feed.As for the escorted dowry, the guards are not allowed to take over the dowry, and even no one in the post is allowed to approach it.

Changle went to the guest room on the second floor, and a woman came up with hot water not long after.The woman had a round face and was chubby. When she smiled, her eyes narrowed into slits, which made people feel happy.

"The nobleman is exhausted from the journey, take a hot bath to relieve fatigue, and the mother-in-law will go to prepare food, which is the nobleman's favorite food. I guarantee that the nobleman will still want to eat after eating."

The woman poured the hot water into the tub neatly, carried it back and forth three times, and just now the tub was filled.

Qin'er closed the door, while Ping'er waited on Changle to wash up.

Chang Le picked up a handful of hot water with his hand, said: "This woman is quite strong, you see she carries two buckets of water every time, goes back and forth three times but doesn't find her breathing."

Ping'er said: "This woman is strong, she must do rough work a lot, it's not surprising that she has a lot of strength."

But Chang Le said: "I don't see it like this. No matter how strong she is, she will be tired after all this tossing. But you see, she walks lightly, and she didn't spill the water when she poured it. She looks like a practitioner son."

Ping'er's heart tightened: "The princess is saying that this woman has martial arts?"

Chang Le remembered what the old woman said, and his eyes flickered.

After washing, Changle Fang felt much warmer and more relaxed.When the mother-in-law brought the food, even Qin'er couldn't help being surprised.

After the old woman left, she said just now: "This little inn has such fine food! And it's what the princess often eats."

Ping'er paid more attention to the woman, and found that she seemed to be too enthusiastic.

And Changle has already raised his chopsticks to eat.

Ping'er was startled: "Princess, I haven't tested for drugs yet..."

Chang Le pointed to the vacant seats on both sides: "You two also sit down and eat together. After eating, sleep in this room, keep your valuables at hand, and don't go out no matter what happens outside."

Qin'er Ping'er looked at each other: "Princess, what is the meaning of this? Is someone trying to harm us? No, you have to make it clear with the chief guard that the princess's safety is the most important thing."

Chang Le took a piece of rice with his chopsticks, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid he will be too busy to take care of himself. All right, let's eat quickly, the food will be cold later."

Qin'er Ping'er was at a loss, ate her meal tremblingly, and made the outer bed tremblingly.Tired all day, but couldn't fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, I heard the sound of ping-pong-pong outside, and the sound of fighting did not stop until it was almost dawn.

When Chang Le woke up, the sky was bright, the woman knocked on the door and brought a hearty breakfast.

"The nobleman will have breakfast first, and someone will pick you up later."

Chang Le nodded to her and smiled, "Thanks for your trouble."

Qin'er was a little confused, she asked: "Princess, why are you so confused?"

Ping'er wanted to clear the gate in an instant, and said in a low voice, "He's from the Hou Mansion?"

Chang Le nodded: "Grandfather is very powerful in the court. Previously, the courtiers strongly opposed the princess's marriage, and the father was about to compromise, but suddenly these people stopped speaking. I thought it was the father who held him. What kind of excuse is there to make them use the mouse. But even so, my great-grandmother will not be indifferent to such a big matter as my marriage. So I guess, there may be something else hidden in the Hou's residence."

"Since they don't act in the court, they will definitely do something on the road. The old woman was showing her favor to the princess from the beginning, intending to appease the princess. I think they have already dealt with the Dongyue envoy and the palace guards last night. If a large amount of cloth and food is lost, the emperor will be furious, and Dongyue will feel ashamed."

"Dongyue is a small country. Although the army is strong, this year is not good, and the harvest has dropped by [-]% compared to last year. Otherwise, Dongyue would not have the idea of ​​​​marrying. Without this batch of food, Dongyue will not be able to do it in a short time. We will send troops to Dongguan, and the pressure on Huaizhong will be greatly reduced."

Ping'er said: "Huaizhong? Han Qing in Huaizhong conspired against him. This is a capital crime. No matter what the princess said, it seems that the Houfu and Huaizhong are involved."

Chang Le shook his head: "I don't know if the Hou Mansion and Huaizhong are involved. I just analyze the result of the failure of the marriage from Dongyue's point of view."

She stood up and walked to the window, opened the window, and a gust of cold wind poured into the room.The morning mist has not dissipated, and the mountains are looming under the mist.

Chang Le took a deep breath, only to feel extremely comfortable and free physically and mentally.

"From now on, there will be no more Princess Changle in this world."

The marriage team was robbed, and Princess Changle fell off a cliff and died.This matter reached the hands of Dongyue and Qi emperors almost at the same time.Han Qing, caught between the two, naturally also got the first-hand news.

Han Guangchang breathed a sigh of relief: "In this way, it can ease a lot. Now is the critical time to deal with the three nobles in Huaizhong. Without Dongyue watching from behind, I feel really comfortable."

Han Qing glanced at him: "If it weren't for what you and Li Che did, we probably wouldn't be in the situation we are in today."

Han Guang was unconvinced: "Why, is it true that the elder brother is willing to swallow his anger for the rest of his life and work for the enemy? Sigh, if Li Che is still here, we will become more famous as teachers. It's a pity."

"Revenge is not the only way. If it is at the cost of sacrificing the people, what is the point of our revenge? It is the hatred of our Han family, but not the hatred of the people of the world. At that time, the people will only I hate us for provoking conflicts in the world because of our personal enmity. The world that has finally been pacified is caught in the flames of war, and the people are dying. Is this what King Xianqi would like to see? Han Guang, you better find out whether you want revenge or Seizing power for selfish desires."

Han Qing glanced at him lightly, with a warning in his eyes: "If it's the latter, I will kill you without hesitation."

Han Guang's back was stiff, and he stumbled and said, "Brother, brother, where are you going? I'm not sorry for you. Well, from now on, I will do whatever you say, and I will say nothing."

Han Qing snorted heavily: "It's best like this."

Han Guang touched his chin, leaned over to Han Qing's side, and said, "Brother, the amount of food and wages is not small. Li Huai knew with his feet that it was either the Wei family or us who did this. You What would he do?"

Han Qing squinted his eyes and said: "We are already certain of rebellion, no matter how angry Li Huai is, at most he will send troops to attack Huaizhong. As for the Hou Mansion, he can't do anything on the surface without evidence. In private, the Hou Mansion is really not afraid of what he will do."

"Then, Li Huai can only pinch his nose and admit that the dumb is at fault? Why does it sound so relieved?"

Han Qing glared at him: "Don't be too happy too soon. The situation in Beiyan is not clear now, and every step we take is like walking on thin ice. If we are not careful, we will lose everything."

As soon as the words fell, a sergeant came to report: "General, the young master has arrived."

Han Qing was stunned for quite a while, until Han Guang jumped up and slapped him, shouting, "Brother, you are stupid, the eldest nephew is here, hurry up and take a look."

Han Qing was stunned and pushed to the front hall by Han Guang. When he first saw his son, he became a little cautious, not at all the demeanor of reprimanding Han Guang just now.

When Han Chongliang saw his father, he pursed his lips, strode forward and hugged Han Qing: "Father, I miss you so much."

Han Qing is a rough man, he has honed a heart of stone after years of fighting abroad, although he loves his son very much, but he has never shown it so straightforwardly.

Being hugged by Han Chongliang at this moment, I feel uncomfortable all over, but with a little bit of secret joy and shyness.

His dark face turned red, he pushed Han Chongliang, coughed, and said, "Speak up if you have something to say, old man, how decent is it to hug him."

Han Chongliang stroked his face, blinked his red eyes, and said, "Father, do you have any food left?"

Han Qing: ...

Sure enough, as soon as the son shows his favor, he must ask for something.
