across mountains and seas

Madam Ye brought in the new wine and refilled Liu Xi's cup.

Liu Xi raised his glass and took a sip, raised his head and drank the wine, and said with a faint smile, "This wine...is it aged from the best grapes outside the pass?"

Madam Ye and Ye Tian were shocked, Liu Xi dared to drink the wine without waiting for them to say anything.

Ye Tianxin smiled and said, "Not bad."

Madam Ye also took advantage of the situation to agree, "I didn't expect General Liu to have a lot of research on wine?"

Liu Xi chuckled, "I used to be greedy too." She wouldn't say that this was the wine she liked the most in her previous life.As she spoke, she slowly put down her wine glass, "But now, it's still important to get down to business."

The implication is that I don't want to drink anymore.

Madam Ye had no choice but to put down the jug, returned to the original place and sat down, "That's right, it's important."

Ye Tianxin nodded, "Father is in Xiyang City, about ten days away from here, and in the next ten days, I still have to ask General Liu to escort him all the way."

"This is what I should do." After Liu Xi finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Ye and Ye Tianxin, "I also hope that this alliance will end the old grievances between Jing Shi and Ye Shi."

Madam Ye sighed deeply, "General Liu and elder brother should discuss this matter in detail, I can't decide."

"Where's Miss Ye?" Liu Xi asked Ye Tianxin.

Ye Tianxin replied earnestly: "It's an old story, and the old people are gone. I just want my people to live upright in Kyushu from now on. Don't sacrifice the daughters of the Ye family to marry those old and fat foreign royal families. "

Madam Ye's expression was gloomy, "Xin'er."

"Auntie, I'm fine." Yetian comforted with a forced smile.

Liu Xi looked coldly at the two aunts and nephews who were deeply in love and said so many words, only the last sentence was still the truth.

Ye Tianxin rubbed her eyes in a gesture, turned her face to Liu Xi and said, "I made General Liu laugh."

"It's rare for family members to reunite, so it's right to cry." Liu Xi replied softly.

Ye Tianxin laughed dryly, and said seriously: "This time, General Liu will send me to Xiyang City, and bring these three thousand Qingqi, I'm afraid my father will have other ideas."

Liu Xi knew that they would say something like this, "Miss Ye don't have to worry about this matter, I have already made up my mind, I will rest at Sanshan Pass tonight, and tomorrow I will only bring ten people to pretend to be merchants, and I will be able to send Miss Ye back to Xi'an safely." Yangcheng."

"General Liu is thoughtful, so I can't help but give General Liu peace of mind." Saying that, Ye Tianxin glanced at Mrs. Ye again, "I will go to Xiyang City with General Liu, and my aunt will stay in Sanshan Pass."

Liu Xi did not expect that Ye Tianxin actually left her aunt as a hostage in Sanshan Pass in order to show her sincerity.

Originally, Liu Xi never thought that she could send Ye Tianxin to Xiyang City safely, so she and Jing Lan had already made a plan for the accident.Judging from Ye Shi's performance over the past 200 years, Ye Shi's women have always been sacrificed.If Liuxi really sent Ye Tianxin to Xiyang City, and Ye Chengtian suddenly rebelled, no matter how Mrs. Ye is taken here, it will not change the situation in Xiyang City.

Having said that, Ye Tianxin was willing to give her a chip that was not a chip, and she was willing to accept it.

"Well, I'll thank Miss Overnight for her reassurance." Liu Xi nodded and smiled.

Ye Tianxin smiled and remained silent.

Liu Xi looked at Madam Ye meaningfully, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, "These days, Madam will be wronged to stay in Sanshan Pass for a few days."

"It's okay." Madam Ye smiled and shook her head.

The three of them talked about some irrelevant gossip later, and Liu Xi ordered someone to arrange for Ye Tianxin and Mrs. Ye to go down to rest.

When she walked out of the room, the defenses in Sanshan Pass had been replaced, and Ye's troops had all withdrawn from Sanshan Pass.

The scouts came to report that Uncle Jing Jiu's [-] troops arrived at Sanshan Pass in half an hour.

Only when the army is in place can Sanshan Pass be truly taken back.

Before the army arrived, Jing Lan had to be wronged to blow the cold wind on the rocks for a while.

Thinking of this, Liu Xi raised her head and glanced at the rock, and the dark luck pill rolled twice.

When Jing Lan saw her standing safely in the courtyard, her tense heartstrings finally relaxed.

"General, do you want to raise the city bridge?" A soldier stepped forward to remind Liu Xi.

Liu Xi waved his hand and said, "No need."

Raising the city bridge would indeed guarantee that the retreating Ye clan soldiers and horses would not be able to return, but it would also appear that the Jing clan had a guilty conscience and was the first to lose.

"Search inside and outside Sanshan Pass to see if there are charcoal, saltpeter, sulfur, etc.?" Liu Xi lowered his voice and asked the soldiers.

This is the biggest hidden danger Liu Xi can think of.

"Promise!" The soldiers took the order to retreat and led people to search along the city wall of Sanshan Pass.

Liu Xi looked around, but there was no sign of Shen Jiangli in his sight.

"Where's my sister?" She searched the pass for a while, and finally found Shen Jiangli's figure in a corner of the city wall.

"Sister, what are you looking for?" Liu Xi stepped forward.

Shen Jiangli turned his head and replied seriously: "Fire, powder." After speaking, she moved her nose.She has always had a better sense of smell than ordinary people, so she thought of this one just after entering the city, and sniffed all the way along the city wall.

Liu Xi suppressed a smile and patted the back of her head, "Did you find the girl?"

Shen Jiangli shook his head, "Yet, not yet."

Liu Xi patted her on the back of the head, "Let's go, leave these things to them." She took a special look at the soldiers who were searching carefully, "Sister must be hungry after walking this way?"

Shen Jiangli nodded, then shook his head again, "I want, look for it!" She was not at ease, she had to find something by herself before going to eat.

Liu Xi grabbed Shen Jiangli, "Sister, I'm really hungry, can you stay with me?"

Shen Jiangli's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, he took Liu Xi's hand, felt Liu Xi's pulse, and carefully diagnosed the pulse.

Liu Xi laughed and said, "They dare not poison the wine."

Shen Jiangli doesn't care about this, anyway, this time she followed, so Liu Xi won't get hurt!

Liu Xi looked at her with a dumb smile, only felt the warmth in her heart, and let her diagnose the pulse.

Shen Jiangli breathed a sigh of relief, and after confirming that nothing happened, she took Liu Xi's hand, "Accompany you." Anyway, after eating, she still had to come back and search inch by inch.

Liu Xi patted Shen Jiangli on the back of his hand twice, and dragged her to the kitchen.

Firstly, he wanted to make some food by himself, and secondly, he wanted to see if Ye Tianxin reminded Madam Ye to change the wine midway, would there be any clues left in the kitchen?

Here Liu Xi and Shen Jiangli were busy in the kitchen, while Ye Tianxin found Mrs. Ye over there.

The two sat down in the room, Madam Ye frowned, and said in a low voice: "Liu Xi is not easy to fool. You slipped a note to me in front of her, and deliberately asked me to change the wine, so that I could take the opportunity Looking at the contents of the note in the kitchen, it is impossible for her not to be suspicious."

Ye Tianxin smiled lightly: "She never believed it, it doesn't matter if you are more suspicious or less suspicious."

Madam Ye didn't understand Ye Tianxin's meaning, "If you ask me to cooperate with you and stay as a hostage voluntarily, you won't be afraid... Will she use me as a bargaining chip to bargain with my brother?"

"Haggling is a must, but the object of bargaining must not be Liuxi." Ye Tianxin was only worried about whether Mrs. Ye would handle the matter well, "Auntie, can you make arrangements for Asura Court?"

"As you said, everything is ready." Madam Ye was worried, "You go on the road with her, the sword has no eyes, in case you get hurt..."

"I must be hurt." This is the most important part of Ye Tianxin's plan, "This step is the most difficult step, but as long as you take this step well, the rest will not be difficult."

Madam Ye quietly looked at Ye Tianxin, always feeling that she seemed to be a different person.

"Auntie, wealth and wealth come from danger, don't you?" Ye Tianxin took her hand, "We Ye women have sacrificed enough for Ye, but how much of those sacrifices are meaningful?"

Madam Ye remained silent.

"This time, I just want to take a gamble for myself." Ye Tian's eyes lighted slightly, "As long as I win the bet, I will have a chance to get close to Jing Xiaowu. The marriage of our Ye clan... Auntie, there is Jin Shoujiang in Guancheng, and foreign races dare not rush in. We marry the Dongjing clan, and by combining the strength of our two states, we can fight against the Wei clan. As long as we win the Wei clan, we will win! It is equivalent to controlling half of Daliang's country." The more she said, the more excited she became, "Then we will restore the Great Ye Dynasty, just around the corner!"

Madam Ye nodded, "Xin'er, you must be careful."

"Auntie, you can rest assured to wait for my return at Sanshan Pass." Ye Tianxin smiled firmly at Mrs. Ye, "This place is safer than any other place. I am also at ease if you stay here."

Ye Tian has thought about all these things, and Mrs. Ye has nothing to say, she just hopes that Tian can fulfill her wish and let them return to Kyushu.

After nightfall, Uncle Jing Jiu settled down the soldiers and horses, and went into Guanzhong to rest.

Seeing Uncle Jing Jiu's soldiers and horses enter the pass, Jing Lan was completely relieved, and climbed down the rocks with the accompanying Qinggong masters, and did not return to the camp until nightfall.

Jing Lan changed into light armor and pretended to be a soldier patrolling the pass, patrolling all the way to the small courtyard where Liu Xi and Shen Jiangli stayed.

She strode into the small courtyard, knocked on the door three times, and said in a low voice deliberately: "Report to the general, I will report something later."

"Come in, come in." It was Shen Jiangli who answered her, and it was Shen Jiangli who opened the door.

When Jing Lan stepped into the room, Shen Jiangli closed the door.

"Let me make a long story short, I won't follow you tomorrow!" Jing Lan blurted out the first sentence.

"Who asked you to follow?" Liu Xi sat on the side of the couch and asked with a smile.

Jing Lan was stunned for a moment, "That's it?"

"I knew you would come, so all the clothes are ready for you." Liu Xi pointed to the clothes on the side, "Hurry up and change, I'll rest here tonight."

"Here?" Jing Lan's eyes widened.

Liu Xi smiled and said: "Don't you want to go back and open the shop with the soldiers?" As long as she thought that this girl couldn't sleep well these days, and the cold wind was blowing at a high place for half a day today, Liu Xi would be lying if she said she didn't feel distressed. talk.

Jing Lan couldn't hold back her smile, and walked to the side of the couch, "I still have a conscience."

"Don't move." Liu Xi touched Jing Lan's forehead with a warm palm.

Jing Lan obediently let her cling to her, and after a long day of cool breeze, it was worthwhile to have her be gentle for a moment.

"Sister, Ah Lan's forehead is very cold, come and see, is she caught cold?" Liu Xi looked at Shen Jiangli worriedly.

Shen Jiangli nodded and walked over, took Jing Lan's hand, and took the pulse seriously.

Seeing Shen Jiangli frowning, Liu Xi couldn't help asking: "How?"

"Okay, like..." Shen Jiangli lowered his head with a snicker, intentionally teasing Liu Xi, and left the words halfway.

"What's the matter?" Liu Xi asked anxiously, "If Ah Lan catches a cold, I don't want her to go with me tomorrow."

"Don't! It's okay, how can you be stupid?!" Jing Lan held Liu Xi's hand tightly, and looked at Shen Jiangli, "Sister Shen! I believe in your medical skills! Even if I catch a cold, Give me some stitches!"

Shen Jiangli nodded, held Liu Xi's other hand, and said solemnly: "Help me."

Liu Xi was led by Shen Jiangli.

Shen Jiangli took Liu Xi's index finger and scratched the tip of Jing Lan's nose, "Get rid of the illness!" After speaking, she couldn't help laughing.

Liu Xi and Jing Lan came to their senses, and both looked at Shen Jiangli with shame and annoyance.

"Good job, girl!"

"Sister Shen, you..."

Shen Jiangli opened his arms, hugged the two of them, and said in a warm voice: "All, okay." After a slight pause, "Don't worry."

Liu Xi and Jing Lan looked at each other and smiled lightly.

"Sister is also good."

"Sister Shen is really nice."

Shen Jiangli was suddenly praised, smiled embarrassedly, and quickly loosened her arms, "Sleep, sleep." After hurriedly speaking, she happily returned to her bed, took off her shoes and socks, and got under the quilt. Close your eyes and fall asleep.

"We..." Jing Lan glanced at the bed beside the couch, there was no quilt on this couch.

"Sleep, sleep!" Liu Xi grabbed Jing Lan's skirt, bit her lower lip lightly, pulled Jing Lan back to the bed, and when she sat down, there was a loud noise.

"Shh..."

"Shh..."

The two made gestures like thieves, Jing Lan lowered her head and took off her armor, except for her shoes and socks, she fell on the bed with Liu Xi, and pulled the brocade quilt to cover her.

Liu Xi burrowed into Jing Lan's arms, pressed against Jing Lan's neck, and fell asleep peacefully.

Jing Lan smiled dumbly, folded her arms, and closed her eyes to rest.

Only Shen Jiangli grabbed the quilt to cover half of his face, his eyes narrowed with a smile, like a kitten hiding under the quilt with half of its head sticking out.

Peace of mind.
