Jiang Qing

Fortunately, this embarrassing atmosphere didn't last long. Not long after, the soldiers defending the city at night were led by the leaders of their respective teams for a change of guard. After reporting the situation last night to Ling Che and Jiang Xiyue, they each Go back to the city to rest.

Empty vats are buried under the corners of the walls near the gates in the city, making it easy to eavesdrop on movements outside the city at night.According to the report of the soldiers specially guarding the camp, the number of times the enemy set up camp was only three times last night, and the harassment was still scattered widely, and no pattern could be found. It may be obvious that the number of attacks was less than the previous days.

Combined with the number of outbreaks just seen, Ling Che feels that the enemy's army has gradually lost their morale, and they will retreat before long.

After listening to the report of the night soldier for a while, Jiang Xiyue did not deny Ling Che's thoughts, but she also had other doubts.

"If they are really at the end of their blows, why are we still unable to send out a single letter?"

Ling Che was silent for a while, apparently having no reasonable explanation for this question.

"Even if we didn't send any news, Pingdu should realize that something is wrong by now." Ling Che said in a deep voice, "Before I set off, I promised Prime Minister Bai that I would send a letter every three to five days, and it has been so long now If there is no news, Bai Xiang will surely notice."

"Master Ling just believes in Pingdu so much? Do you believe that if they know your situation, they will come to rescue you?" Jiang Xiyue said coldly, "You and I know what His Majesty really wants, maybe it's gone. Lord Hou, the Western Jin Army is the Western Jin Army that His Majesty wants."

Ling Che frowned slightly, he knew what Jiang Xiyue meant.

From the beginning to the end, Zhao Zhen did not fully believe in himself. What he wanted from himself was always an army with strict military discipline. As for the selection of generals, he naturally wanted to cultivate people who would be loyal to him wholeheartedly. For example, Mei Shao.

But what Ling Che wants from Zhao Zhen is not the friendship between a monarch and his ministers. They each take what they need, satisfy each other's interests, and also fulfill their own thoughts. This kind of relationship does not have any burden of affection. Looks like the best.

It is true that he does not have full trust in Zhao Zhen, but somehow, he has some trust in Bai Bingchen.

Even though it was rumored that this Baixiang lord was unpredictable and ruthless, when he learned about the Benzhou Rebellion, his worries did not seem to be fake. In addition, Ling Che always had some feelings for what happened at the racecourse back then. People who think that "the road in the world is not limited to north, south and east and west" should not pretend to be fame, wealth and power like the rumors outside.

But seeing Jiang Xiyue's appearance, he really didn't want to see the emperor.

"Even if His Majesty wants to make trouble, he has to wait until he is full-fledged. Now that the Jinxi Army is still in my hands, I don't think he will ignore me to death." Ling Che weighed again and again, and still picked one that sounded more capable. There are convincing reasons. After all, he can't figure out Jiang Xiyue's true attitude, but at this time the military spirit cannot be shaken.

"That's right. Lord Hou is the son-in-law after all. Even if His Majesty would ignore Lord Hou, His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess would not agree."

Although Jiang Xiyue spoke indifferently, she was seldom aggressive. Ling Che couldn't help turning her head to look at her, but she didn't see any special expression on her face, but those eyes became deep and tender. And far away, as if recalling something from the past.

"I heard that when the Western Marquis of Jin was seriously ill, Lord Ling didn't take care of the bedside, but went all the way to Pingdu to compete in martial arts to recruit relatives. Lord Hou must have a deep affection for His Royal Highness the eldest princess." Jiang Xiyue seemed to be aware of it. Seeing his gaze, he turned around and changed the subject.

Ling Che was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then cast his eyes into the distance, slowly gaining a little tenderness.

"It's just that when I was down and down, I once received a little favor from Her Highness the Eldest Princess, and then I often looked up to it, not daring to forget..."

"Then, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, to Lord Hou..."

"I don't need it." Ling Che looked solemnly, "If His Highness has someone he likes, I will definitely not go to the martial arts competition to recruit relatives. The reason why I went is because I feel that there are no young talents in Pingdu like me. Status can give her better respect...Of course, there is also a little selfishness of mine."

Glancing at the lonely corner of his mouth, Jiang Xiyue's eyes moved slightly, as if she was a little moved. After a long time, she sighed and said: "I... have a little aunt from afar, who treats me very well. Well, when she was not out of the cabinet, I was with her all day long. I have never seen a woman who is as gentle and gentle as her but has no timidity. At that time, I deeply thought that a person like her , will definitely have a good home. In fact, she married very well later, she married the Liu family of the military general family in Pingdu. The whole family thinks that this family is very good, but only I know that my aunt is not happy, and all these well-matched couples on the surface can't impress her. There is no reason for her, but because Mr. Liu is not the one in her heart. that person."

"What she fell in love with was a secret guard of the Jiang family, an orphan who had no foundation and even his parents didn't know who he was. But this was destined to fail. No matter how hard that person tried, the pinnacle of his life He is just the leader of the hidden guards, and the barrier between them has not diminished in the slightest, and my aunt can't even wait until the day when he becomes the leader of the hidden guards, and embarks on the road to marry Pingdu."

"Fortunately, the hidden guard didn't give him any response. In addition, no one but me knew about the relationship between the two. It was logical that he followed his aunt to Liu's house. I thought this was the best ending for them. We can see each other from time to time, but things always go against our wishes.”

"He is indeed very calm and good at martial arts. He was quickly appreciated by the Liu family and became the leader of the hidden guards. At that time, my aunt was already two months pregnant. After being blamed by others, she managed to save her life and came back, and burned for several days. My aunt found out about it, and her abnormal caring behavior finally attracted the attention of others, and their matter was brought to the fore."

"Mr. Liu's family really loves my aunt. Even so, he didn't criticize them too much, and he didn't even let his family know. It's just that the hidden guard can no longer stay in Liu's house after all, but for him who has lost many lives , without the protection of the family, there is only one way to die. Young Master Liu has obviously considered this, and found an excuse to let him go to the Bai family who was getting close to several Wu families at that time. From then on, forget it Such a thing."

"It's just that no matter how generous a person is, this matter is still stuck in his heart and it's hard to dispel it. Mr. Liu's family was depressed, and he left his pregnant aunt to go out to relax. It happened to be a time of epidemic. He was not in the epidemic area, so there would be no major incidents, but He got a letter from his fellow disciples, collected medicinal materials, and rushed to Jingzhou, the most severely affected area at that time, and never came out again."

"My aunt gave birth to the posthumous son of the Liu family, named Yongsi, and since then, the relationship between the Bai family and the Liu family has not been so close. Later, there was the Cangshan Incident, and my aunt was implicated and imprisoned. She was executed in autumn and ended. her whole life."

Ling Che listened to everything quietly. Even though Jiang Xiyue didn't name the hidden guard, he knew that that person should be Jiang Yan, the leader of the hidden guard under Bai Bingchen's hands.He had no intention of prying into other people's privacy, but suddenly learned of a past event, which made him feel a little bit emotional.

"Ling Hou Ye knows, why should I tell Hou Ye about this past?"

"Patriarch Jiang wants to tell me that I am no different from Jiang Yanben, but I am luckier."

"If he hadn't even sold his personal freedom to the Jiang family, and went out for a while, it would be really possible to get some military status, just like Lord Ling." Jiang Xiyue said softly: "But even if he is desperate If he escaped, it will take at least two or three years to get ahead, and my aunt can't wait for him anymore."

"In my limited life, as far as I can see, the status is very different, and no matter how deep the emotion is, it will not end well. The talented scholars and beautiful women in the world are just fabricated stories. In fact, how can so many things follow people's wishes? But Lord Ling no the same."

Jiang Xiyue's gaze became soft and far-reaching, as if she was looking for something on Ling Che's body, she smiled, and said, "I really don't have the position and qualification to judge the past of Lord Hou, but Lord Hou is really rare. There is only one person who can catch the moon I look up to, and the moon does not reflect other shadows now. Then why is Hou Ye belittle himself, why not go for it, and try to embrace the moon?"

Her eyes are frank and sincere, without a trace of hypocrisy.

"Then Patriarch Jiang chose Sun Houye because he thought he was the right family?" Ling Che thought for a while before asking.

"Yes." Jiang Xiyue replied without the slightest hesitation, "I just chose the one that is pleasing to the eye and able to resonate with the two families among the limited choices. This is already the biggest resistance I can do."

"However, I still don't seem to be able to resist successfully. Sun Zhe is different from what I imagined. He calmed down my hostility and impulsiveness at the time. At least being with him, this life doesn't seem to be just passing by. .”

"But I know, we are different. Xinyue chasing after someone is much more difficult than getting to know love after getting married. The former is a bet that does not know the result until the last moment, while the latter is on an established road. To discover that people who are on the same road always have a certain degree of fit with themselves.”

"I have seen such an unhealthy end with my own eyes, and I once wanted to meet someone worthy of my pursuit, so I am grateful for the courage of Lord Linghou who put all his eggs in one bet, and I really hope to see it with my own eyes. miracle."

"It's like seeing that the road that my aunt walked back then was not a completely dead end, and there are always one or two things in this world that can really win the world with manpower." Jiang Xiyue seemed to have not said so heartily for a long time. If there were too many words, she suddenly felt very relieved, licked her dry lips, tilted her head and smiled and said, "Aren't my thoughts very immature..."

"I really didn't think that much." Ling Che said suddenly: "All I've been thinking about is trying to get closer to her, and get closer, but now that I'm so close to her, I'm hesitant. But now In the beginning, what I wanted was not just a glimpse of the scenery on the moon from afar."

He seemed to be awakened.

Ling Che recalled that when he was at the lowest position, when he was tortured on the torture bench in embarrassment at the training ground, what he thought the moment he passed out was: I want to take off that moon, so that she is still dazzling by my side, Only take pictures of one person alone.
