Pour the glass

"You asked me what's the matter, but I want to ask you, what's the matter with you?" Ye Lingxi didn't answer Zi Yuan's words, but asked Zi Yuan instead.

Ziyuan choked her throat when she opened her mouth, and didn't know how to reply Chushan dialect.

Ye Lingxi smiled suddenly: "Since General Qi doesn't know what to say now, you might as well follow me into the tent first, and tell me after you think it over." After speaking, Ye Lingxi turned around and called With a sound of Jinnu, he walked straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Subconsciously, Ziyuan glanced in the direction where A Ling was hiding, thought for a moment, and then found a way to answer Ye Lingxi, and then quickly walked into the Chinese army tent.

"His Royal Highness, please come with Rong Mo one by one." Zi Yuan just walked into the big tent, and then respectfully bowed to Ye Lingxi, "Some refugees came here during the day, and they all said that they were killed in their village. Gu disaster, begging me to lead soldiers to rescue..."

"Huh? Why did General Qi leave alone in the end?" Ye Lingxi looked at Ziyuan with a smile, the smile was so deep that Ziyuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Originally... I wanted to send troops...but...but..." Ziyuan sighed helplessly, shook her head and said, "When I heard the Gu disaster, none of the people outside were willing to go with me, and even Think... still think..."

"Pfft, you're so smart!" Ye Lingxi didn't wait for Ziyuan to finish, she laughed, nodded, "If you don't leave, I'm afraid you're already a puppet of those people outside."

Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking the question in her heart, "Since Her Royal Highness knows what will happen, why are those people outside still willing to listen to the princess' orders?"

Ye Lingxi stood with her hands behind her back, raised her chin slightly, and said solemnly: "Under the whole world, is it the king's land? Naturally, no matter who the soldiers are, they should all be soldiers of my Ye family. Since no one wants to go to Hanxiguan to fight Gu worms fight to the death, the worst strategy is to mutiny, the middle strategy is to be a deserter, and the best strategy is to return to Lin'an in a legitimate way." After a slight pause, Ye Lingxi sighed, "Han Xiguan is in danger, how can it be so mere? Thousands of people can be saved? Instead of forcing them to fight back and force them to flee, it is better to take them back to Lin'an and make a long-term plan."

"So Her Royal Highness promised to take them back in person?" Zi Yuan finally understood why those people outside were willing to listen to Ye Lingxi's orders.

Ye Lingxi nodded, and said: "There are still a few who don't believe in me, but they are being practiced by Xiao Ge now."

Zi Yuan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Ye Lingxi looked at Zi Yuan one more time, and said suspiciously: "There is one thing I don't understand. Why did you turn back when you had already left the barracks?"

Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I thought about it on the way. If I agree to take them back to Lin'an, they should still be willing to regard me as a general, right? If I escaped before the battle, it would be a serious crime of beheading. What's the difference between being a puppet mutiny? It's better to appease them and let's go back together. At worst, if I plead guilty to the emperor and say that I am incapable of leading the army, even if the emperor puts me in prison, at least I will survive."

"When did the dignified Captain Qi become afraid of death?" Ye Lingxi asked with a smile, raising her brows slightly.

Ziyuan followed with a smile and said, "When Guosi first met the princess, didn't the princess know that the last general is afraid of death? Besides... I haven't married a wife yet. If I die early, it won't be worth it!"

Ye Lingxi thought about it, and the smile on her face faded away, "Yes, it would be a pity to miss a beauty like Miss Su."

"elder sister……"

Hearing Ye Lingxi mention Su Zhexue, Ziyuan's heart suddenly felt sore, she shook her head with a wry smile, "Sister Linglong is so thoughtful, I'm afraid she might look down on an idiot like me."

"..." Ye Lingxi sighed quietly, and suddenly realized that she didn't know what to say to comfort Ziyuan.

The big tent of the Chinese army suddenly fell silent, and suddenly, Jin Nu let out a startled cry, breaking the moment of silence.

"Who's out there!"

"General Qi, the last general is back!" The deputy general's voice sounded from outside the tent.

Ziyuan's long-hanging heart finally waited until this moment, and quickly restrained her smile, "Come in quickly!"

The deputy general lifted the curtain and came in, saw Chu Shan, and hurriedly bowed to Chu Shan with a blushing face, "The last general pays homage to His Royal Highness, the princess."

"Excuse me." Ye Lingxi responded.

Before the lieutenant could speak, Zi Yuan immediately asked, "Is everything going to be as usual when drunk tonight?"

The lieutenant glanced at Zi Yuan hesitantly, before he hesitated and said, "Drunk tonight...everything is fine...just...but Miss Su seems to have an accident."

Ziyuan was startled, her face turned pale instantly, "What happened?"

"Miss Su was invited by the Third Highness to perform in the palace, but...but on the way back...the horse pulling the horse was shocked...then she took the carriage and fell into the Yu River...whereabouts...the whereabouts are unknown... "The deputy general looked at Zi Yuan's face more and more ugly. After saying this, he stood there awkwardly, not knowing what else to say to comfort the young general who was about to explode.

"What does the good third prince invite my sister to do?" Ziyuan asked this sentence angrily, not caring about the presence of Chu Shan, and said anxiously, "I want to go back to Lin'an, I'm going back to Lin'an tonight!"

"Brother Sanhuang really..." How could Ye Lingxi not know what her brother was thinking, but this happened suddenly, although the Yuhe River was rushing, but it was necessary to rush a living person out of the carriage without a trace. It's impossible for Lingxi to think about it. After all, there are palace guards on duty along the Yuhe River. How could a woman who was ups and downs in the river and calling for help disappear without a trace?

The only possibility is - her brother detained Su Zhexue!

However, if these conjectures were told to Ziyuan, it would not slow down Ziyuan's impatience. She hesitated to speak, and before she could figure out how to appease Ziyuan, she saw Ziyuan rushing out of the big tent.

"General Qi, stop!" Ye Lingxi yelled, how could she hold back Ziyuan at this moment?Ye Lingxi lifted the curtain and chased out of the big tent, and shouted at Yan Ge, "Xiao Ge, stop General Qi for this palace!"

"..." Although Yan Ge didn't respond, the action had already begun. She rushed in front of Zi Yuan with a gun in hand, and laid the gun on Zi Yuan's chest, "She told you to stop, if you take another step, don't blame me Disrespectful!"

Zi Yuan gave Yan Ge a hard look, "Can you stop me?"

Yan Ge stared back at Zi Yuan unconvinced, "Try it!"

"You! How deep is the Yu River? As the captain of the Imperial Guards, how could I not know? How could a living person be washed into the Yu River, and no one along the bank could be rescued? The only possibility is that there is no sister on the carriage. "Ziyuan gritted her teeth and turned around, looking coolly at Ye Lingxi, "I could tell from the old woman that the Third Highness is interested in my sister, Your Highness, you should know how important my sister is to me, and even more so, Who should I ask for when I return to Lin'an?"

In a word!

Ye Lingxi fell silent suddenly, not knowing how to reply to Ziyuan's words.

"Since your highness is well aware, why should you stop me?" Ziyuan glanced towards the direction of the stable, and a familiar figure appeared in her sight——

A Ling, who sneaked back into the barracks, pretended to be a soldier feeding the horse, and gave Ziyuan a wink, signaling her not to mess around.

"If there is something wrong with Zhexue, do you think I will come to you?"

The words Ah Ling once said suddenly appeared in her heart, Zi Yuan tried her best to calm down, and quickly connected with what happened these days from the bottom of her heart.

"If my sister is really detained, with her intelligence, she will definitely find a way to escape. After all, in the past three years in Dayun, my sister has a lot of ways to deal with men... I have been away from Lin'an for so many days. If my sister escapes, she will definitely be with her." I contacted for my peace of mind..."

Thinking of all the strangeness of Su Zhexue in Taoyuan that night——

"But... but why didn't Ah Ling tell me the truth in the first place? Could it be... my sister made up her mind to stay in the palace from the beginning? Or was it Ah Ling's order that my sister deliberately approached Ye Huan?"

Ziyuan glanced at A Ling again, thinking of what A Ling said to her today——

"Da Jin's crazily attacking the city is for the Longevity Cup. If A-Ling deliberately gets the Longevity Cup one step earlier, then she has obtained a game point that reverses everything...then..."

Suddenly knowing something, Ziyuan took a deep breath, turned her head and glanced at Ye Lingxi, realizing that her impulsiveness had almost ruined the overall situation, she gathered herself together, and clasped her fists at Ye Lingxi, "Princess, please make amends!" , it was the last general who was rude."

Seeing that she seemed to have calmed down, Ye Lingxi shook her head and said, "I won't care about these things with you. After all, I understand how important Miss Su is to General Qi." A faint smile floated up, "Brother Sanhuang really did not do this properly, wait..."

"Your Highness, there is no need to say, at least my sister is safe now." Ziyuan said, and then bowed to Ye Lingxi, "I shouldn't have forgotten the danger of Han Xiguan and cared too much about my own selfishness, so I ask the princess to punish you. "

Ye Lingxi sighed, and murmured: "Miss Su is lucky to have you treat her wholeheartedly..."

Ziyuan stared at Ye Lingxi in astonishment, realizing the current situation of these people, Han Xiguan couldn't last long, and even if Ye Lingxi took them back, there was no sufficient reason to explain them to the emperor. With the fact of retreating before fighting, Ye Lingxi will be punished, and Ziyuan will also be punished. If it is serious, she will be relegated to common people, and if it is light, she will be imprisoned. How can she have a chance to help her sister Su Zhexue?

Ziyuan thought for a while, weighed the importance of the matter before and after, and then said, "Your Highness, I have a way to make Han Xiguan safe for half a month."

Ye Lingxi's eyes lit up, "Say it."

Ziyuan said seriously: "Let me send a copy of the book to Hanxiguan. As long as there is a temporary truce between Yunjin and Jin, we have a reason to return to Lin'an and apply to the imperial court for some military resources and horses, and then reinforce Hanxiguan."

"Just a letter?" Ye Lingxi looked at Ziyuan suspiciously.

Ziyuan nodded solemnly, "Her Royal Highness, please believe me this time! I will explain the reason to the princess when I break out of the camp tomorrow morning!"

"I believe you." Ye Lingxi replied.

"promise!"

Ziyuan turned her head to look at the stable, but Ah Ling had disappeared.

For some reason, when she guessed that her sister was following orders, a long-lost joy suddenly rose in Ziyuan's depressed heart, and she said silently, "Sister, it turns out that you don't hate me..."
