across mountains and seas

The Wei family is gone, and Wei Yuxiao is the head.

When the news reached Jing Lan, the [-] East Sea Navy led by Jing Lan had been confronting the Zhulu League Navy for half a month.

The blue waves are surging, thousands of sails are facing the wind on the East China Sea, and the battleships are neatly lined up on the sea, even magnificent.

A sea eagle fluttered its wings and flew down through the clouds, landing on the hatch of the main ship.It flapped its wings, tilted its head and pecked at the hanging cabin curtain several times.

The curtain was lifted, and Shen Jiangli touched Haiying's head with a smile, took off the envelope from its feet, and said with a smile: "Hard, bitter."

The sea eagle flapped its wings and flew up, piercing through the clouds, and soon disappeared.

Shen Jiangli came over with the envelope, and just about to speak, he saw Liu Xi gesture "shh" to her, Shen Jiangli knowingly put down the envelope, walked to the brazier, and continued to warm himself by the fire.

After autumn, Kyushu is getting cooler, and above the East China Sea, the humidity is getting worse.

After Shen Jiangli recovered from his injury, he felt more chilly than before.Jing Lan was ordered to go north to fight for the Lumeng League, so she didn't want to take Shen Jiangli with her, but she waited pitifully for several days, not to mention Jing Lan couldn't beat her, and Liu Xi couldn't beat her, so she had to take her to the north with the army.

Liu Xi gently tucked the quilt for Jing Lan, it was rare for Jing Lan to take a nap at noon today, she didn't want to disturb her.

In the Battle of Longling, whether it was Jing Lan or Liu Xi, both of them were seriously injured. After several months of recuperation, the external injuries were almost healed. It was only then that [-]% of the original internal energy was restored.

The army went north for several months, and was not in a hurry to attack the Zhulu League.The main force of the imperial court was given to Marshal Lang, and the Dongjing family could only mobilize 1 troops from this patchwork navy.The Zhulu League has been in operation for many years, with a large number of people, and the navy's combat power is not weak. Now it is at the time of their survival, no matter how many grievances there were before, those Jianghu sects will gather together and speak out unanimously.

A strong attack is definitely the next strategy. Firstly, it will force the gangsters of the Zhulu League to become more united, and secondly, the imperial navy's combat power is ordinary.Therefore, Liu Xi and Jing Lan agreed to simply line up on the sea and slowly wear down the patience of the enemy.

The charcoal blocks in the brazier were burning red, and occasionally the charcoal blocks cracked and made some "crackling" sounds.

Shen Jiangli roasted for a while and felt his body warmer, so he gathered up the fur coat on his body, moved a stool to Liu Xi's side, put it down, and sat on it gently.Because she didn't see Liu Xi open the envelope for a while, she tilted her head to look at Liu Xi, and said silently, "Why, why?"

Liu Xi pinched the letter bag, rubbing her fingertips lightly, and said silently, "Lazy."

Shen Jiangli nodded in satisfaction, and said with his lips: "Very good."

Even if Liu Xi didn't read this Haiying biography, he could still guess what the letter would contain?Now it is said to be lazy, but in fact it is just to recharge your batteries for today's battle to close the net.On the surface, they confronted the Zhulu League, and there was no progress in the attack. In fact, Youyou had already led her own people to the Zhulu League navy division. Today, Liuxi received a letter, counting the days. The momentum should have been achieved, and it is time to sound the horn and start the first battle of the Northern Expedition.

"Captain." Uncle Jing Jiu's voice suddenly sounded outside the cabin, "The last batch of Pofeng Crossbows have arrived."

"Thank you Ninth Uncle." Liu Xi had finally waited for the last attacking weapon, Liu Qiu's supervisor, Hai Cheng, built the Breaking Wind Crossbow day and night for the battle of closing the net.

Uncle Jing Jiu said: "Madam Fifth Young Master, you are too polite."

"Order the whole army to quickly install the Breaking Wind Crossbow. After an hour, the whole army will attack." Liu Xi ordered in a solemn voice.

"No." Uncle Jing Jiu took the order to retreat.

Not long after, the sound of armor was heard outside the cabin.

Jing Lan frowned, rubbed her eyes and sat up on the couch, "Is it time?"

"Actually, you can sleep for a while longer." Liu Xi said warmly.

Jing Lan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "When the war is over, I will sleep more comfortably when I go home." After speaking, she took the letter from Haiying from Liu Xi's hand, took out the letterhead, glanced at it hastily, and smiled knowingly She smiled, "Miss Youyou is getting more and more appropriate in handling things." After finishing speaking, she looked at Shen Jiangli, "Sister Shen, she has something to say to you."

Shen Jiangli quickly covered his ears, "No, listen."

Liu Xi leaned over curiously, looked at the biography, and said with a smile: "Don't show off."

"No, yes!" Shen Jiangli was very obedient along the way.

"Sister, I'm the first to say no." After finishing speaking, Liu Xi smiled slightly, "Sister, since you came back from Longling, I can see that you two have less bickering, what's your plan?"

Shen Jiangli was startled, shook his head and said, "No, I know."

"I don't know?" Liu Xi was quite curious, "I don't know what?"

"No, I know." Shen Jiangli said again.In fact, she didn't know what she was thinking about Youyou?Indeed, since Longling came back, she has found Youyou much more pleasing to the eye, and she will not give Youyou soft nails everywhere.Anyway, when she couldn't see Youyou, she wouldn't miss her all the time, she just felt that there was less chattering in her ears, and it seemed to be much quieter.

What is it like to like?Shen Jiangli tilted his head to look at Jing Lan and Liu Xi, they should probably be the same as his sisters, sometimes just looking at each other, full of tenderness, full of heart and eyes for each other.

A Youyou face suddenly appeared in his mind, and Shen Jiangli couldn't help shaking his head, she didn't want to be full of that annoying ghost!

Liu Xi gently touched the back of Shen Jiangli's head, perhaps her own sister was slow to open up, and this matter could not be forced at all.

Jing Lan smiled, "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart."

Shen Jiangli raised his eyebrows, "Little, five!"

"Hey! Sister Shen, I'm talking about me and Xi'er." Jing Lan explained, and gave Liu Xi a sideways wink, "Xi'er, do you think so?"

Liu Xi smiled deeply, "Yes."

Shen Jiangli knew that these two were just teasing her, but he just couldn't find evidence, so he turned around angrily at this moment, "Boy, man!"

Liu Xi coaxed: "Sister, don't be angry, okay?"

"not good."

"A basket of buns?"

"not good!"

"Ten cages of buns?"

Shen Jiangli turned his eyeballs slightly, and said earnestly: "Every day!"

Liu Xi laughed hoarsely, "Every day? But you have to grow flesh."

"No, afraid!" Shen Jiangli raised his head proudly, "Yes, yes?"

"Sure, why not?" Liu Xi looked at Jing Lan, "Ah Lan, did you hear that, from now on, I will prepare ten baskets of steamed stuffed buns for my sister every day."

Jing Lan suppressed a smile, "Okay!"

Shen Jiangli's eyes widened, "Sister, sister!" Bullying again, it should be the buns made by my sister herself!

Seeing her aggrieved look, Liu Xi stopped teasing her, "Okay, my sister will do it for you, my sister will not be angry."

Jing Lan pretended to be displeased and said: "Ten cages a day, it will exhaust my Xi'er, I won't do it."

Shen Jiangli blinked, bowed his head, counted his fingers, and said, "Five, cage?"

"Tired too." Jing Lan continued to bargain with her.

Shen Jiangli pursed his lips, and raised three fingers, "Three, cage..."

"Alan, don't tease me, I'll cook as much as she wants." Liu Xi felt sorry for Shen Jiangli from the bottom of her heart, and she touched Shen Jiangli's cheek, "You're still skinny, you can eat more How many cages."

Shen Jiang was in full bloom, he stretched his arms to embrace Liu Xi, and said with a smile, "Wan-sui!"

Liu Xi smiled and patted her back, and reminded: "Sister, don't talk about these two words in the future." When the war in the world is settled, there are some things that must be paid attention to.

The so-called sharing adversity is easy, sharing wealth is difficult, the longer Chu Xi sat on that dragon chair, the more complicated her thoughts became.

Now that the three-point world situation has been broken, some things should be planned in advance, so as not to die in vain.

Jing Lan knew what Liu Xi was worried about, which was why she didn't like being an official at first.The so-called companionship is like companionship with a tiger, and it is not easy to retreat completely.

"Xi'er, after this battle, let's go to the East China Sea to find an island to make our home?" This is Jing Lan's plan of retreat. The East China Sea is so big, he can always find a place to make his home, away from Kyushu, away from the court, away from the rivers and lakes, Live freely with your family for a lifetime.

"Alright." Liu Xi didn't expect that Jing Lan had already thought of this level.

Shen Jiangli gripped Liu Xi's sleeve tightly, and said seriously, "Take me!"

"How can I lose my sister?" Liu Xi smiled warmly, held Jing Lan with one hand, and Shen Jiangli with the other, and said seriously, "A family, no one can be missing."

Afterwards, the naval battle kicked off. Even though the imperial navy's combat power was low, with the help of the Pofeng Crossbow, they had the strength to confront the Zhulumeng navy.

After winter, the Donghai Navy broke through the Zhulu League's maritime defense line, led troops to land in the three northeastern states, and continued to go north to suppress the rebellion.

The good news spread to Donglin Palace soon.

Empress Chu Xi took a long breath of relief after reviewing the good news presented, and waved her sleeves to signal the servant Gong'e in the imperial study room to step down.

Shi'er approached the imperial table with hot tea, put down the cup respectfully, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Chu Xi asked with a half-smile, "What happened today? Why are you being so polite to me?"

Shi'er replied abruptly: "Your Majesty is about to pacify the Quartet, so the etiquette should be... ah!" Unprepared, Chu Xi pulled her into her arms and sat on her lap, "What did you call me?"

Shi'er said anxiously: "This is where His Majesty discusses matters. Please also pay attention to the rules."

Chu Xi pinched her chin, and slowly approached her lips, "Rules? Shi'er, how many times do you have to tell me before you understand that I am not Daliang's emperor in front of you, but your Ah Xi."

Shi'er met Chu Xi's eyes, "But... Your Majesty is not what it used to be..."

"So what?" Chu Xi asked with a smile.

Shi'er was startled, and said seriously: "The official historian will record, Your Majesty..."

"Huh? Still call me Your Majesty?"

"Axi... I don't want you to be scolded by the world."

Chu Xi was full of smiles, "Isn't there a few people who scolded me before? Princess Liang is dissolute by nature. In order to protect the young emperor's throne, she has to deal with people in the world and courtiers..."

Shi'er felt distressed when she heard that, and quickly pressed Chu Xi's lips, "Ah Xi, those things are over."

Chu Xi grabbed her hand and kissed her palm, "I don't care how people in the world scold me. Now that Kyushu is about to be settled, and under the Nine Springs, I can be regarded as worthy of my ancestors of the Chu family in Daliang." , she continued, "As a woman, I have done what the previous emperors failed to do. Now they are praising me in front of me, believe it or not? After I die, those people will not remember me leaving How difficult it is to get to this point, it will only change my old affairs into gossip and gossip, and spread among the people."

"Axi." Shi'er felt sore, stretched out his arms to hug Chu Xi tightly, and comforted him: "That will be a matter of the future. Now you are fine and everything is fine."

"I'm not fine." Chu Xi smiled lightly, and slightly opened the distance between her and her, "Look, weren't you also afraid of me just now?"

Shi'er lowered his eyebrows, not knowing what to answer?

"You will be afraid of me, and Bailixi will definitely guard against me." Chu Xi laughed at herself, "The Son of Heaven is destined to have no friends."

Shi'er coaxed in a warm voice: "The Dongjing family is loyal and will not betray you."

"But I have no heir under my knees, and Kyushu is only temporarily stable." Chu Xi hit the nail on the head, poking Shi Er a burst of sadness.

Shi'er opened his mouth, as if mustering up the courage to say something, but Chu Xi spoke up first, "I don't want to find a royal husband to suffer, women are not easy to give birth, and men are cheap for nothing, you are the one who is sad, and you are the one who suffers." It's me, why bother?"

Shi'er frowned, "But..."

"Doesn't the Dongjing family have a baby?" Chu Xi reminded Shi'er, "Bailixi wants a reassurance, so I will give her a reassurance."

Shi'er asked in a low voice, "Then what about Wei Lei?"

"Cut the grass without eradicating the root, and the spring breeze will regenerate it." Chu Xi said coldly, and met Shi'er's slightly startled eyes, "I have already sent someone to do it, and he can't stay any longer."

The most unacceptable means of an emperor is the word compassion.

Shi'er understood this truth, but she still felt sad, even when she looked at Chu Xi, she couldn't help feeling a little strange.

Chu Xi looked at her in a daze, and asked lightly, "Are you scared again?"

"What if..." Shi'er tentatively opened his mouth, "What if the Dongjing family doesn't want to give a child?"

Chu Xi smiled, "Then I'll give them another choice."

"What?" Shi'er asked anxiously.

Chu Xi didn't answer immediately, she kissed Shi'er, "Don't be afraid of me, okay?" Her tone was sincere, even hiding a hint of pleading.

Shi'er hooked her neck, "I'm not afraid of you...it's just...you said, those people are your friends through life and death...I don't want you to really become..."

The words "lonely family and widow" were still stuck in his throat, and Shi'er changed into another sentence, "Axi... don't be stained with blood anymore... okay?"

"I am the emperor for a day, how far away is the word bloody?" Chu Xi asked Shi'er back, "Shi'er, if you hadn't entered the palace back then, what kind of life would you have imagined?"

"Plain..." Shi'er looked at Chu Xi earnestly, "Together with my sweetheart..."

"Grow old forever." Chu Xi smiled warmly, melting Shi'er's words into her kiss.

This year, news of the Northern Expedition's success was frequent. In the early winter of the second year, Wang Jinglan of the East China Sea led an army to quell the Zhulu League. Since then, Kyushu returned to Daliang, and there was no more war in the world.

The whole world celebrated together, and the people rejoiced.

After fighting for many years, the soldiers finally looked forward to this day.At the celebration banquet, the soldiers drank to their heart's content and laughed one after another. They celebrated until midnight, and only in twos and threes helped them back to the tent to rest.

Liu Xi drank a lot, if he hadn't used his inner breath to force most of it out, Shen Jiangli might have to help him back now.Although the alcohol has faded a lot, the blush and drunkenness stained on the cheeks is hard to fade for a while, and it looks extremely bright and radiant.

"Sister, have you seen Ah Lan?" Liu Xi remembered that Jing Lan was always by her side, but in the blink of an eye, she didn't know where she went?

Shen Jiangli held back his smile, "No, yes."

"Strange." Liu Xi subconsciously looked at the big tent of the Chinese army, "She won't ignore me and go back first..."

"Sister, sister." Shen Jiangli tugged at her sleeve, and suddenly pointed to the sky excitedly, "Yes, lamp!"

Liu Xi followed her pointing direction and saw a few Kongming lanterns scattered in the sky, she immediately understood it, and said with a smile: "You still say you haven't seen it?"

Shen Jiangli stuffed a note to Liu Xi, and said with a smile, "Go, make an appointment." After finishing speaking, she jumped up and down happily to her tent.

Liu Xi looked down at the note, and there was a line of words written on it squarely - see you at the top of the cliff three miles outside the camp.

"See you or leave." Liu Xi laughed dumbly, turned and walked towards the stable.

Uncle Jing Jiu had been waiting there for a long time, "Fifth Young Madam, lead this horse."

Liu Xi glanced sideways at the horse, and saw that the horse was all white with a snow-colored fur coat on the saddle.

Uncle Jing Jiu took off the snow-coloured fur coat and presented it respectfully, "The governor said that the snow has been cold these days, and the fifth lady has been drinking, so be careful not to catch the cold."

Liu Xi took the fur coat and put it on, and said with a smile, "There are quite a few tricks."

Uncle Jing Jiu said with a smile: "I will watch the barracks tonight, so Madam Wu and the governor can rest assured."

"Thank you, Uncle Nine." Liu Xi simply got on his horse, rode the horse and galloped out of the gate, heading straight for Sanli Cliff.

In the tent of the military camp, Shen Jiangli raised the curtain of the small window and looked at the Kongming Lantern floating in the sky from afar.

"very nice."

"Want to put a lamp?" Youyou suddenly leaned against the small window and asked softly.

Shen Jiangli knew that she would appear lingeringly, and he had long been used to her elusive presence, "Deng, where?"

"Look!" Youyou stepped aside happily, "There are all kinds of colors, you can put whichever one you like!"

Shen Jiangli poked his head out, unexpectedly, Youyou had prepared a small cart of lights, Shen Jiangli was very happy, and urged: "Quick, let's go!"

"Go!" Youyou waited for Shen Jiangli to come out of the tent, immediately untied the cloak on her body, put it on for her, and said softly: "Don't catch a cold."

There was still a faint temperature on the cloak, Shen Jiangli was startled, and subconsciously gathered the cloak.

Youyou didn't take the opportunity to tease her this time, she walked around to the side of the cart, pushed it up, and signaled Shen Jiangli to follow her, "Little Jiangli, let's go."

Shen Jiangli followed Youyou to the outside of the barracks, there was no one around, and snowflakes were scattered here and there.

Youyou stopped the car, took out the fire folder, and handed it to Shen Jiangli, "Here, put the one you like first!" After finishing speaking, she sat on the side of the car, crossed her legs, and looked up at the sky He smiled proudly and said: "It must be better than Jing Xiaowu's!"

"Yes?" Shen Jiangli didn't believe her.She picked one at random and picked it up, and just about to light it, she found the inscription on it—May the deceased be happy forever.

Forget about the inscription, and a bird that doesn't know whether it is a quail or a wild goose is drawn on it.

"Let me explain first, I don't know how to draw magpies, let's just call this bird a magpie, don't dislike it!" Youyou didn't look at her, but just looked at the night sky, the snow was reflected on her body, illuminating her neck It is extremely white, and even has a touch of seductive color.

Shen Jiangli didn't know that the corners of her mouth were raised, she only knew that Youyou tonight seemed to have been specially dressed up, with a hint of charm in her beauty, she couldn't bear to take her eyes away as soon as she took a look.

Shen Jiangli thought to himself that he was not a womanizer, but Youyou tonight was really pretty, anyway, Youyou didn't look at her, so why not if she looked at her a few more times?

Youyou didn't hear her response, and didn't dare to look at her sideways, and continued: "I've thought about it, it's fine if you don't like me, even if you want to find a son to marry in the future, I will prepare a congratulatory gift for you... "

"No, marry." Shen Jiangli sat next to Youyou, and handed the fire bag and Kongming lantern to Youyou, "You, let go."

Youyou couldn't hear her tone, and when she took the Kongming lantern and fire bag, she finally couldn't help but look at her, "Little Jiangli..."

"Try, try." Shen Jiangli's ears felt a little hot, and he didn't dare to look at Youyou when he said this.

Youyou was stunned, "You don't know how to put Kongming lanterns?"

Shen Jiangli's expression froze, and he glared at Youyou slightly annoyed, "You, you!"

"Don't be annoyed, can't I let it go for you?" Youyou didn't dare to confront her, and immediately blew on the torch, approached the wick of the Kongming lantern, and lit the wick.

The firelight cast warmly on her face, making her gorgeous color even more intoxicating.

Shen Jiangli was originally annoyed at her, but the moment Youyou held up the Kongming lantern and let it fly, she curled her lips into a smile in the firelight, as if something hit her heart.

At the bottom of my heart, something swelled warmly.

It's really... nice.

I saw Youyou watched the Kongming lanterns fly into the night sky, and said piously: "Little Jiangli, I want to be happy forever." Suddenly feeling a warmth on her cheeks, Youyou stood where she was in disbelief, covering her face and looking at Shen who was beside her. will leave.

Shen Jiangli bowed his head and tied her sleeve corner with his own, and said with a smile, "Try, try."

Youyou was full of ecstasy, "This girl has never been kissed before! Shen Jiangli, you must be responsible!"

Shen Jiangli raised his eyebrows, "No, do it."

"Hey!"

Shen Jiangli's laughter was like a bell, jingling on Youyou's heart, the sound was intoxicating.

Youyou stretched out her little finger and hooked her little finger, the wishful thinking in her heart was very loud, she said in her heart: "Shen Jiangli, wait until I spoil you so much that you can't leave me, let's see if you do it or not!"

As soon as she thought of this, Youyou only felt her ears burn, and she always felt that there was something wrong with her words.

Shen Jiangli saw her face full of spring, and suddenly felt that the steamed buns didn't seem so delicious anymore, so she subconsciously bullied Youyou.

"Hey, it's my second bite! I'm not responsible!"

When Shen Jiangli couldn't help biting Youyou's earlobe, she suddenly understood that some people really have to try to know whether the taste is sweet or bitter?

"reluctantly."

"what?"

"tasty."

The author has something to say: Gengwen, can Youyou and the young general make it to the end?Just leave it blank, let's make up their own futures~

The next chapter is really the finale~
