As the color approached, the sparsely lit lanterns flickered in the wind.

The yard is not very big, and you can almost see it at a glance, but because there are not many things in the yard, it seems empty.

He Yuan walked straight into the courtyard, pushed open a door in the middle of the courtyard, the room was pitch black, He Yuan opened it casually, and the lights lit up all around, He Tingge was slightly surprised, but he didn't show anything, he looked at the door under the light The room is simple, but not crude. The furniture is made of high-quality wood, painted red, and spotless. It seems that someone cleans it from time to time, but there is no trace of popularity in this room.

Looking back, he saw He Yuan standing in front of the altar, lighting candles.

He Tingge took a closer look, and there was a spiritual tablet enshrined on it: "The spiritual tablet of my wife Xue Ling".He Tingge was startled, this is his mother?I have never heard people in the house mention the mistress, so she has passed away.

"Come, give your mother a stick of incense." He Yuan handed over three sticks of incense, and He Tingge hesitated to take it in his hand. After all, he didn't recognize him. Although his biological mother passed away very early, she was not the same person. .

He was hesitating whether to kneel or not, but He Yuan took the incense from his hand again and put it in the incense burner.

"Ge'er, time is running out. As a father, I can fight for you for three years at most. Within three years, you must take down the He family army. Otherwise, I, He Yuan, may die with regret." He Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Father." He Tingge was confused by He Yuan's words: "What do you mean?"

"The emperor has already made a move." He Yuan sighed deeply: "Princess Rouran is just a scapegoat. The person who really wants your sister to die is the emperor."

He Tingge heard a chill from the bottom of his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Why?"

"I, He Yuan, have been in charge of the 70 Northern Frontier Army of the Northern Qi Dynasty for 23 years. Back then, the late emperor believed in me and used me, but now that the emperor has grown up, he wants to concentrate the imperial power in his own hands step by step. The first one to take, It's military power."

"It's digging its own grave."

He Yuan shook his head: "He will not get rid of me right now, but he will never let me go. He can only start with your sister. I married your sister before to gain my influence and ascend to the throne. Now, as long as your sister Losing my position in the emperor's heart will give those people in the court who want to get rid of me a chance to acquiesce. He wants to use treacherous ministers to get rid of me. So, Geer, if you will be charged for your father in the future, don't do it again. Go to prove it, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, if he wants to commit a crime, why is there no excuse?"

"Father, let him do whatever he wants?" He Tingge didn't expect that all kinds of reasons would be so complicated and chilling.

"Under the whole world, is it the king's land? I have been a soldier all my life, and I have no desire to fight for power. However, you can't accompany my father to scold my father. No matter how things develop, you must never bow your head."

"Father."

"I can still fight for three years for you. You follow me to the border. There are 70 troops, 20 of which are from my He family army. Now the emperor is still afraid of several forces at the border, and will not touch me for the time being, that is, Princess Rouran The reason why I will be blamed makes me think that Lan'er was murdered by Rouran, and wants to use me to give Rouran the most fatal blow. In this way, even if I lose my military power, he will not have to worry about it for a short time , and during this period, he will naturally cultivate a group of people who are good soldiers." He Yuan said: "And you must grow into someone he can't touch within three years."

"Is this not the second father?" He Tingge was puzzled.

"No, you are different." He Yuan shook his head: "He will never kill you."

After that, He Yuan didn't explain anything, and He Tingge didn't ask any more questions. Some things can't be understood by explaining.

Although He Tingge has never believed that that gentle-looking person would plot against He Yuan in such a way, and would not hesitate to attack the woman he was with day and night, but, I have to say, as long as He Yuan doesn't expose it, his plan has almost come true. As for Princess Rouran, although she didn't complete her original mission, she made a mistake and became a substitute for the dead, which can be regarded as an explanation to Rouran.

So when Haitang came to say that Princess Rouran bit her tongue and committed suicide with a face full of regret, he didn't think there was much surprise except for a sigh.

He had gone to see Wu Keqi's body, and the water prison had never been used criminal law. He planned to hang her directly when the time came, so Wu Keqi's clothes were still clean, but her hair was unkempt and slightly messy.She was lying sideways on the platform in the middle of the pool, with no expression on her fair face, she died calmly.There was a bright red blood stain at the corner of the mouth, flowing down the cheek to the stone platform.

He Tingge stepped on the stone path that rose from the pool after the mechanism was activated, and walked over. Wu Keqi, who was dressed in a light blue dress, looked extraordinarily quiet in the pool.He Tingge sighed lightly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the blood on the stone platform covered by hair from the corner of his eyes, knelt down and lifted it away with his hands, and saw a few words written in blood on the place covered by the hair: "Tat Ba Zhen, I hate you."

He Yuan didn't expose the emperor's conspiracy, he just moved forward the time of departure and was full of anger, so the emperor didn't suspect anything.

He Tingge was dressed in a strong outfit, with a silver armor on the outside. It was tailor-made, and it didn't feel cumbersome to wear.Looking at himself in military uniform in the mirror, and returning to the blood-stained battlefield in a trance, He Tingge was a little dazed. Those days seemed so far away from him, so far away that he couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream. .

"Ting Ge!" Haitang came in dressed in a red outfit, holding a helmet in one hand and gnawing an apple in the other: "Why, are you so handsome and stupid?"

Expedition to the border

"Ting Ge!" Haitang came in dressed in a red outfit, holding a helmet in one hand and gnawing an apple in the other: "Why, are you so handsome and stupid?"

He Tingge couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words: "Then I might as well look at you."

Sure enough, Haitang was choked by the apple, and angrily threw the helmet on the side. He Tingge took it and shook his head, but he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled when he saw the person walking in from the door.

Haitang felt the air pressure around him suddenly drop, and when he turned around, he saw Mu Lan coming in with a cold face, dressed in a gray Confucian uniform, looking very refined, his originally handsome face, but because of his serious face, suppressed his Confucianism.

"Mu Lan." Seeing his attire, He Tingge seemed to be going out.

"I'll go with you." Mu Lan said coldly.

Haitang didn't chew the apple in his mouth for a while, as if he didn't realize why Mu Lan was here.

He Tingge was also taken aback for a moment, but looking at Mu Lan's appearance, there seemed to be no doubt about it. He said he wanted to leave, but he really didn't dare to say that he would not be followed.But, this is for war, what is he doing as a weak scholar?Although it looks very annoying, but it's just a look.

Haitang bit the apple tightly and swallowed it down, and said, "Where are you going with us? By the way?"

Mu Lan glanced at Haitang coldly, but ignored him, Haitang raised his eyebrows and didn't care, and didn't want to stay with the ice cube for too long: "Ting Ge, the prince is getting better outside, hurry up." After speaking, he shook his hair and left.

"Are you going to the border? What's the matter?" He Tingge asked anyway, and put on the helmet, which was just right.But still take it off, it is very hot after all.

Mu Lan said: "Just follow you, it's as simple as that." After finishing speaking, without waiting for He Tingge's reaction, she went to the backyard to hold the pearl.

He Tingge didn't know why, but he didn't say anything. I heard that Mu Lan is a genius doctor, so it should be a good thing to bring it along.

He Yuan returned to Beijing this time with only a small army. However, when He Tingge saw thousands of soldiers and horses neatly lined up on the North Street, he was still quite shocked.

Ziyunting was dressed in horse uniform, standing in front of the team, kicking his hooves restlessly, and a maroon horse beside him seemed to be restless, flicking his red mane from time to time, tall and straight, with four hooves The hair is also fiery red, like balls of flames.

"Fire Qilin." Mu Lan walked out leading Mingzhu, and looked at the horse with interest.

He Tingge was shocked when he heard the words, and thought for a while, looking helplessly at Haitang who was running from behind, dressed in silver armor, but it didn't cover Haitang in the red dress. Sure enough, whoever was riding what horse.

"My lord, everything is ready, can we go?" a leader asked.

He Yuan nodded, got on his horse, and wore armor. Although it looked a bit old, it seemed more intimidating.

The horn blew, a row of large flags blew in the wind, and the big congratulatory characters fluttered on it like dragons and phoenixes. Suddenly, there was a vicissitudes of life from the battlefield in the air.

The army was not moving fast, and along the way, except for the people who saw them off before they left the city, they didn't meet many people. Haitang chattered along the way, but He Tingge didn't find it annoying, and responded from time to time, but it was Mu Lan, leaning With Mingzhu on her body, she didn't speak again.

Originally, He Yuan asked He Tingge why Mu Lan followed, but He Tingge was helpless: "It's not a bad thing to have an extra military doctor, right? Besides, he's a genius doctor." He Yuan thought it seemed to be a good deal, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After a few days, it gradually approached the desert in the northwest, and the weather gradually became dry. During the day, the sun was exposed to the sun, accompanied by wind and sand from time to time, but at night, it was bitterly cold, and the wind was blowing outside the tent.

Haitang covered his face, rubbed his cheeks that were sore from the wind, got into the tent, and squeezed closer to He Tingge: "It turns out that the weather at the border is really terrible. I'm beginning to admire the big brothers who watch the night."

He Tingge moved his buttocks, let Haitang sit in front of the brazier, and said, "Just get used to it."

"Huh?" Haitang rubbed his face with his hot hands, and suddenly saw someone reading a book.
