The phoenix pattern is surging

[Xiping Yongle Hall]

In Yongle Hall, the flames of Panlong candles flickered brightly, but they still couldn't illuminate the darkness of the hall.

Su Mo sat on the dragon chair, half of his face was hidden in the night, his expression was distant and unpredictable. Gong Huai'an waited cautiously aside, sneaking a glance at him from time to time, his face covered with cold sweat layer.

"There's news from Juliang today, do you know?"

While talking, he threw an opened bright yellow newspaper in front of the other party, and said lightly: "Look for yourself."

Zhao Yan lowered her eyes and took in the six big characters of "Qingyuan secret envoy Xu Yuan" into her eyes. She couldn't help being slightly stunned. After thinking about the whole thing in a moment of stupefaction, she finally realized that she had also fallen into the trap. got someone else's set.

"Does Your Majesty believe in such an obvious framing?"

She sneered, but she didn't defend herself, she just looked at the other party with a smile, her expression calm.

Su Mo frowned and said nothing, and after a while asked with an unpredictable expression: "Can I still trust you?"

As soon as I said this, I saw the luxurious woman startled for a moment, and then she calmed down and said: "Without Your Majesty, there would be no concubines. Everything Yan'er did today was for...Cousin, for me, Xiping and Qing The original great cause."

She had a serious look on her face. Under the light of candles in Yong'an Hall, her slender figure was cast on the gilt marble floor, leaving behind a graceful silhouette, showing her pride and firmness.

In the long indifference, Su Mo didn't nod or shake his head, just stared at her deeply, sighed at the end, and said, "I hope so."

After such a deep sigh, he closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair without saying a word, as if he really breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, the little eunuch on duty outside the hall came in, and was stunned when he saw Zhao Yan, then knelt down in panic and said: "Your Majesty, Zhaoyi..."

"My wife Zhaoyi?"

Su Mo asked in a deep voice, his expression was indifferent, and his words were tinged with anger. The little eunuch shrank his neck subconsciously in fright, only then remembered that there was no concubine Zhaoyi in the palace, so he immediately gave himself a hard blow, and leaned over again Kneeling down, Nuonuo said: "Your Majesty calm down."

The man was silent, Gong Huai'an's eyes moved, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, could it be that something happened to that one? Otherwise, forgive this slave for having a hundred guts and not daring to make such a mistake."

There is some truth to this remark, but Su Mo didn't respond, but Zhao Yan asked while lowering her eyes and straightening her sleeves: "What happened?"

The little eunuch hesitated again and again, and reported the truth: "Yonghui Palace sent someone to report, saying that the imperial physician just took the pulse for my wife Chang Zai, and said that if this continues, the unborn child may not be safe."

After he finished speaking, Zhao Yan's face changed, and he shouted in a low voice: "Why don't you go and prescribe the prescription?"

Hearing his tone, he was actually very anxious.

The little eunuch was startled, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, calm down, it's not that the imperial physician refuses to prescribe the prescription, but... it's..."

At the end of the conversation, he was hesitant to speak, but after a long silence, the man on the seat shouted impatiently: "Speak quickly!"

"Stupid thing! What are you talking about?"

Seeing that his master was constantly winking at him, the kid didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly said: "It's because I don't want to, and the imperial doctor can't do anything, so I can only report to the emperor...and the empress."

After finishing speaking, he secretly took a look at Zhao Yan's expression, but when they heard a clanging sound, everyone was startled, but it turned out that it was Su Mo who swung down a gold-plated porcelain bowl with a slap in the eye. Bottomless anger: "It's been too long since she's spared her life, yet she's still so restless! I don't know what to do!"

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Gong Huai'an hurriedly signaled the little eunuch to come and clean up with his eyes, wiped the tea stains on the dragon robe with a handkerchief, and comforted him,

Zhao Yan did not respond, and said straightforwardly: "Since it is about the safety of the dragon fetus, it is better to be careful, Your Majesty might as well go and have a look, it is not an option to go on like this."

"Don't go!"

Su Mo waved his hand to make Gong Huai'an back away, and stood still in the hall with his hands behind his back, his face full of anger.

"Your Majesty may not care about her, but he cannot care about the emperor's heir!"

The other party's expression was persistent, and his words were not unreasonable. He looked at the night in the hall and was silent for a long time, finally nodded, walked out of the hall, but it was less than a stick of incense, and he returned angrily. Come, Gong Huai'an trotted behind, with a look of panic on his face.

Zhao Yan had already left Yongle Hall at that time, after receiving the news, she called Gong Huai'an to ask: "What happened?"

Gong Huai'an approached her and whispered one or two things in a low voice. After hearing this, her expression remained completely unchanged, she was silent for a long time, and said indifferently: "It's really self-inflicted, and even my palace is trying to plot it, yet she wants it openly? But I don't know, that seat is not available to everyone. Besides, it depends on whether he will give it or not."

This sigh was barely audible, and all the grievances and unwillingness in her expression quickly disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, she became the luxurious and proud Concubine Zhao in the past.

[Danfeng Xinglin City]

As soon as Li Zixin's horse arrived, he was about to pass him by, but he heard a very familiar voice behind him. His expression changed, and accompanied by a burst of neighing, he pulled the rein to stop the horse. Searching for the direction of the voice in the crowd, he was stunned for a while, and he urged the horse to gallop away. At a distance of more than ten steps from the man, he turned over and got off the horse, and then stepped over several times. Bu Yuan stood still, and asked with disbelief: "Your Highness, is it really you?"

Li Ran hugged the terrified child with one hand, stretched out the other hand and patted him on the shoulder, smiled happily, and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you." After finishing speaking, he said emotionally, "Fortunately, I'm still alive." return."

The other party remained silent for a long time, his eyes were a little luminous, under the moonlight, his face like a crown jade was full of joy and emotion, at the end he coughed in a deep voice, and said: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Li Ran nodded, but saw the monkey boy jumping up and down, looking up and down the man with the tear mole, and finally smiled, arched Li Ran's back, and asked treacherously: "He is yours." that……"

His tone sounded like one of the three gossiping white men he met at the Julong Inn that day. As soon as he finished speaking, his monkey head suddenly suffered another attack. With a cry of pain, everyone burst into laughter.

After a while, Li Ran pointed to the people behind him and introduced them one by one. He especially praised Qu Lie, but the other party still looked unshakable and indifferent.

Hearing what he said, Li Zixin knew that this person was the hero behind the scenes, so he looked at him gratefully, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, sir, for your rescue!"

The other party has turned into an old man now, and everyone else thinks he is an old man, but he heard the monkey kid smirk, and said: "Hehe, you don't need to thank my master, he has just accepted... His Majesty's edict." Pause , and said, "But if you thank me, I will naturally have no objection."

The monkey cub was being naughty, but Li Zixin was not annoyed, and nodded with a good-tempered smile as before. Seeing that he was so easy to "bully", the boy became more aggressive and pestered him endlessly, but he heard Li Ran snort coldly, leaned closer to him and lowered his voice Intimidation: "Boy, forgot how you were almost roasted like a pig just now?"

"Alas, I am your savior!"

He is now dressed like a woman, so noisy, the sense of humor suddenly arises, and everyone can't stop laughing again.

Li Ran laughed, shook his head, turned to look at the man with a jade-like face, and said, "Don't pay attention to him, that kid has always been so virtuous."

Just as she was talking, she heard a hoarse voice behind her: "Xiao Ran, how long are you going to hold other people's children?"

*********

remaining 0.5

This voice is so familiar, how could Li Ran not recognize it?

He raised his head suddenly, but saw a person walking out from behind Li Zixin. He was wearing a bright yellow robe embroidered with Nine Dragons. There were marks of war and smoke between his brows and eyes, and there were mottled lights and shadows in his eyes. Feel short of breath.

After a moment of silence, I saw that bright yellow figure walking step by step on the moonlight. Although his body was full of murder, there was a tenderness that melted into rain and ice in his eyes. All emotions were hidden under the illusion of calm. Against the sea of ​​flames in Xinglin City, it seemed to wrap him inside.

Li Ran stiffened his arms and legs and stood on the spot, watching the man slowly approaching, finally stood still in front of him, then slowly raised his hand, as if to hug him, after hesitating for a moment, he just touched him gently with his fingers. He straightened the messy hair on his forehead, then stretched out his hand to touch the head of the child in his arms, and sighed with emotion: "You are such a lucky child, Yi'er has never..."

Before the words were finished, there was no sound. When the last word was spoken, there was a faint trembling. Although it was only for a moment, Li Ran heard it clearly.

In an instant, he only felt blood gurgling in his chest, and without thinking about it, under the surprised eyes of everyone, he stretched out his arms and put his arms around the other's shoulders. arms.

Everything was silent for an instant.

Everything in Xinglin City seemed to be empty, and time stopped in an instant, only the roar of wind and fire, and a violent heartbeat echoed in my ears.

What is love, maybe he didn't understand it before, but at this moment holding this man, he feels more at ease and stable than ever before.

Everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to look any further. After a long silence, Jiang Jue chuckled and said in a low voice, "If you don't let go, this kid will protest."

Li Ran was puzzled, he was suspicious, the other party pointed to the kid in his arms, he looked down, and realized that there was such a "third party" between the two of them, he smiled embarrassingly, and let go of his arms right hand, and then touched the child's head, complaining rather amusedly: "Don't you say anything, kid?"

As soon as he said this, he heard a man chuckle and said, "I don't know who is clinging to him so hard? Are you blaming someone else?"

At the end, he gave a very shameless grin.

Li Ran's face became hot, and he glanced sideways, seeing that everyone lowered their heads, only the monkey cub was rubbing his chin and watching with relish.

He put down the child in his arms, said "go ahead", gently pushed the child out, and was about to get up to teach the boy a lesson, when he suddenly felt his palms become tight and hot, and subconsciously looked down, his right hand had already was led away.

But Jiang Jue chuckled lightly and said, "Don't worry about it, I'm just a child."

After finishing speaking, without further words, he pulled him and went to the driving chariot parked at the gate of the city.

Xinglin City was originally Danfeng's most affluent place, and because of this, Danfeng's army saw that they were defeated, so they did nothing but massacred the city.

At dawn, all the remnants had surrendered. As soon as Xinglin City passed, Jiang Jue immediately ordered to set up camp ten miles outside the city, rest for a day, and then approach south the next day.

Li Ran was drinking porridge when Lin Zan came into the account via communication. When he saw the familiar person, he immediately got up and greeted him.

"Thank you Commander-in-Chief for your compliment!"

The other party smiled and saluted, he subconsciously swept out of the tent, and asked a little puzzled: "Just you? What about Liao Wei and the others?"

"Commander Liao and Commander Sun are staying in the capital. His Majesty only sent his subordinates and Commander Yan to fight this time."

He responded in an orderly manner, Li Ran couldn't help laughing, waved his hands, and said, "Since when did you learn from Shen Ze?"

After finishing speaking, he patted the other party's shoulder with a smile, and said, "It's still the same as before, don't worry about what's there, huh?" Lin Zan nodded and said, "Then subordinates should be respectful rather than obedient."

"Not bad! Refreshing enough!"

While talking and laughing, I saw Yan Wenbin, who was strong and strong, come in. He was overjoyed when he saw him, and then saluted him respectfully, saying that his subordinates see the commander in chief, Li Ran responded, and waved again He came over and said, "It's about you." After finishing speaking, he motioned for the two of them to sit down, and after chatting for a while, he asked seriously, "How is the situation in the city?"

"Just like in the past, Danfeng has destroyed all the food and grass in the city. Presumably he doesn't want to leave any benefits for our army."

Yan Wenbin's expression was solemn, Li Ran nodded clearly, and after some calculations secretly, he turned to look at Lin Zan and asked, "What do you think about this?"

After he finished asking, he saw the handsome and elegant general with a slight smile, and said: "Such short-sightedness is tantamount to suicidal."

As soon as this remark came out, Li Ran clapped his palms and smiled, and at the end he collected his thoughts and said: "With such a lesson learned from the past, do you know what to do?

"My subordinate understands!"

"My subordinate understands!"

The two of them were together, just as Jiang Jue and Li Zixin walked in while talking in low voices.

At this time, the sky was already broad daylight, and everyone had been busy all night, but everyone was still full of energy. It seemed that the battle was going well, which was indeed very inspiring.

Jiang Jue winked at the crowd, and all the people left the tent one after another, and then shouted in a deep voice, Ding Shun came into the tent with a tray in his hand, his eyes turned red when he saw Li Ran, and he knelt down in front of him with a plop , called His Highness sadly.

Li Ran patted his head with a smile, and said, "It's not bad, it looks very lively."

Ding Shun repeatedly nodded in agreement, then secretly glanced at the person in the dragon robe, then carefully placed the gilded porcelain bowl in the tray on the table, kowtowed again, and exited the tent in fear.

Li Ran looked at the dingy figure, then at the person beside him, and asked with a smile on his face, "What did you do? How did you scare him like this?"

"There is no rule without rules, and I am only a small punishment."

The other side looked pale, and he raised his eyebrows, with a look of disbelief.

"Can Xiao Punishment be so scared?"

But Jiang Jue raised his eyebrows and said impatiently, "Whatever he does!"

After finishing speaking, he took a spoonful of the pitch-black soup, blew it closer, and said, "The medicine will dissipate when it cools, come?"

So considerate, even faintly cautious.
