Misty rain, red mansion, Concubine Xiaoxiang

His watery face was frozen pale and stiff, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly to see the figure flying towards him, he hastily tightened the reins and stretched out his hand to pull Daiyu onto the horse's back.Pulling the cuffs of the inner jacket, wrapping her stiff fingers and gently brushing off the snowflakes on her face, staring at her white and trembling lips and teary eyes, untied the outer cloak and wrapped her tightly in her arms, Ride the horse towards the tent!

The warm fire burned away the cold air from her body, Shui Rong held Daiyu in her arms, and pressed her forehead against her icy snowy forehead, and asked, "Is it cold?" Daiyu shook her head with chattering teeth, her cold little hands had already Being grabbed by him and put into his arms to keep warm, Daiyu wanted to withdraw her little hand, but he held it tightly and wouldn't let go!

"Why are you disobedient?" Shui Rong's cheek was pressed against her cold little face, the expression on her face was cold, but the deep concern and worry in her eyes could not be concealed, and she said coldly: "The wind and snow here are too heavy, your bones How can you bear it?" Although the imperial physician had checked the pulse just now, he was still worried, and his gloomy eyes became more and more stern!

The warm breath of Daiyu lying in his arms was transmitted to her body, her cold cheeks were melting and itching, and the tears also flowed down, she raised her head and stared at him, saying: "Don't you know that the Birch Forest How dangerous is it? Don't tell me you don't know."

"I know the treacherous birch forest is dangerous, but I can get out!" Daiyu's familiar self-confidence and fortitude were all over her handsome face. Can't help but soften like spring water.Raising his hand to gently wipe away the tears on her face, he coaxed in a low voice, "Don't cry! Am I okay?"

Daiyu stared up at him with tears in her eyes, and said, "You are the commander-in-chief of a 20-strong army, but you are leading the way. Yes, you are fine, so what if you can't get out?" Looking at Daiyu With an angry pretty face, Shui Rong pinched her cheeks, and said with a light smile: "Just thinking about Dai'er's angry appearance, I won't be reluctant to come back."

Daiyu's cheeks were flushed immediately, she bit her lips and stared at him fiercely, nodded, and said coldly: "Then Prince Beijing, remember, if you dare to do this again next time, I will never come to you , I want to take my two children to Dieyun Valley."

"You won't." Shui Rong said so firmly, but still lifted her slender chin, looked at her firmly, and said, "Dai'er, tell me you won't." Daiyu slapped his hands away. Arm, said coldly: "Then just try it?" Fuxiu wanted to stand up but was pulled by Shui Rong and fell into his arms, looked down at the angry Daiyu and said seriously: "I'm sorry!"

Daiyu turned her head and stared at him in a daze, not knowing how to react, his ruddy lips had already been stolen by him, his arms were tightly wrapped around her ears, and he said softly, "I'm sorry!" Daiyu's eye circles were red like sunset glow, she bit her lips tightly to keep herself from choking up sobs, leaned on his shoulder, suppressed her crying and said: "I don't want to hear you say sorry, we are husband and wife. I just I want you to stay with me and my child in peace!" If there is anything wrong with him, she will not be able to sustain it by herself!

Shui Rong quietly held her in his arms, and sighed, "I'm crying like a child more and more, is Dai'er planning to sprinkle ice on my clothes in such a cold day?" Daiyu burst out laughing Come, tears are still in the corners of the eyes, but the smile and peace of mind are already on the brows.She raised her slender hands and rubbed his cheeks, and asked, "Is your face frozen?" Covering her small hands with water-soluble hands, she lowered her eyes and smiled, "It's okay!" The horse swung his whip and rushed back to Daiyu and the child.

"The path in the Birch Forest is really treacherous and difficult to navigate. If you are not careful, you will step into a place of eternal doom." It is full of traps and traps, and there are miasma and poisonous gas that can kill people. He said with a faint smile: " We spent two days inside before we found a way out, this way opened, and the Xiluo Kingdom is under our control." Lu Pingyuan lost the battle with Xiluo Kingdom, and this time the army found the way to the Birch Forest. It can go straight to Bianliang City, the capital of the Xiluo Kingdom!

Holding Daiyu's warm slender hand, Shui Rong nodded, and Daiyu raised her head and asked, "Isn't there any guarding soldiers in Xiluo Kingdom near the Birch Forest?" Shui Rong fed Daiyu with ginger soup, faintly He said with a smile: "No one has been able to crack the mechanism of the Birch Forest for hundreds of years, so they have great confidence in the mechanism of the Birch Forest to protect the capital." But the Birch Forest is a dead thing after all, and it is not difficult to crack it!

The Xiluo Kingdom is connected to the Tianbi Dynasty in the southwest, and sooner or later they will not tolerate each other and go to war.So since he took over the throne, he has collected ancient books about the secret arts of the Birch Forest, and visited famous people all over the world to crack the Birch Forest. Clearly.

"How does Dai'er know that I'm not in the camp?" Shui Rong raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked.

Daiyu gave him a blank look, and said: "In the past, you sent letters to Youyun Prefecture one by one a day, and there was no news for three consecutive days. Do you think I don't know?"

"Didn't receive my letter in three days?" Watery eyes were dark like the sea, already filtering many things in his heart, Huo got up and walked to the door, opened the curtain and ordered: "Go and call Weiwei immediately." The general came to see the king."

Daiyu walked up to him and stood beside him, her transparent thoughts turned exquisitely, she already understood the meaning of Shui Rong's words, and asked in surprise: "Rong Ying said, you wanted to lie to me, but you already wrote the letter paper? Shui Rong nodded, looking at the snow-covered ground with dark eyes.

"The last general has seen the prince and concubine." General Weiwei knelt on one knee, the armor on his body was covered with a layer of snow, and the cold breath followed the north wind to make Daiyu shudder .

"Did the courier who usually delivers letters for this king come back three days ago?" Shui Rong asked lightly.

General Weiwei looked at Shui Rong in surprise, but immediately replied respectfully: "The messenger came back three days ago, but when he heard that the prince was going to the Birch Forest, he also rode out to follow him. The general thought that he was the prince. The guards around him didn't stop him, and let him go."

Shui Rong raised his thick eyebrows, thought for a while, and ordered: "Scatter out the soldiers immediately to find the messenger's whereabouts, hurry up!"

"Yes, the last will obey!"

Daiyu clutched Shui Rong's sleeves and said, "Haoze and Qingwan are still in the city, so they're okay, right?" Shui Rong had already brought Daiyu's cloak and snow cap to dress neatly with her, and put his cloak and hat together. Dressed up too, and walked out of the camp holding Daiyu's hand.

"Reporting to the lord, the messenger's body was found at Fengxuegang, ten miles away from the big tent. His whole body was already frozen as stiff as iron, and he had been dead for about three days." Shui Rong rode Daiyu to the gate of the camp just now. , The soldiers who went out to patrol had already galloped over on horseback.

The calmness of the water-soluble face did not change at all, it seemed that this result had been expected.He lashed the horse with a whip, and disappeared into the snow with Daiyu running like lightning.Daiyu nestled anxiously in Shui Rong's arms, the cold and harsh wind in her ears made her tremble even more.Sensing the tightness of the arms around her, Daiyu tried her best to calm herself down, no, they will be fine!

Youyun Prefecture was silent, only the sound of snowflakes falling on the branches, and the bloody smell on the pure white snow rushed into her nose, making Daiyu's heart tighten, her throat was stuck and she couldn't say anything, her trembling little hands were tight Fastened with a water-soluble placket.Shui Rong hugged her tightly with his arms, and rode his horse directly into the courtyard.

The tranquility in the courtyard made Shui Rong and Daiyu feel more uneasy, they flew up from the horseback, carried Daiyu all the way across the front yard and fell into the back yard.When they reached the inner courtyard, Shui Rong released Daiyu, and Daiyu ran towards the house, calling out in multiple voices: "Hao'er, Qing'er."

Daiyu, who ran too fast, didn't notice the cobblestone road under her feet, stumbled hard on it and threw herself towards the white snow.Before the exclamation came out, Shui Rong who was with her was already holding her slender waist in his arms, and said, "Dai'er, be careful." Showing two handsome little faces, when seeing Shui Rong and Daiyu, they greeted them in surprise: "Father, mother."

The two little guys who threw themselves into her arms were soft and fragrant, and Daiyu let go of her tightly gripped heart, and asked, "Are you all right?" Shui Haoze and Shui Haoze Qing Wan's clear black and white water eyes raised her head to look at Daiyu's anxious face in doubt, then turned her head to look at her indifferent father, and asked with a frown, "What's wrong, mother?"

Shui Rong stepped forward to support Daiyu's waist and legs and hugged her, looked at her slightly frowning Daiyu, and walked quickly towards the house.Put her on the couch, took off her shoes and socks and inspected carefully, Yubai's toes were red, and she rubbed them lightly in distress, and asked in a low voice, "Does it still hurt?" Daiyu shook her head, her face glowing Ruxia's red, retracted her feet and shrank under her skirt, bowed her head and said: "No, it's all right!"

Shui Rong reached out and pulled her feet out from the hem of the skirt, hugged them on her knees and rubbed them gently, then turned around and took the plaster in the cabinet and wiped them lightly.The brows in front of her are handsome and heroic, and the corners of her eyes are resolute with uncompromising persistence. Daiyu stretches out her small hand and strokes his sword eyebrows coldly, but tears can't help overflowing her eyes!

Daiyu turned her head to prevent the tears from falling down, but the moment she turned her head, the tears jumped onto Shui Rong's cheeks disobediently, Shui Rong stood up and gently kissed the tears away from her face, softly said: "Aren't we all right now? Hao Ze and Qing Wan are obediently waiting for us here."

"Yes, mother, Haoze and Qingwan promised mother that they will obediently wait for mother here." Shui Haoze and Shui Qingwan, who jumped in at some time, opened the bead curtain and walked in, looking at Daiyu Mo The toes covered with ointment stepped forward and blew lightly, saying: "Hao Ze will not hurt your mother anymore." Daiyu caressed their little faces lovingly, looking at them lightly, she didn't know what to do. Say something!

The bloodstains on the snow were shocking. If Shui Rong hadn't brought the phantom master here in advance, she couldn't imagine what it would be like to come back today. Her Hao Ze and Qing Wan are only four years old!No matter how smart they are, they are only four years old. How much resistance can such a little milk doll have?

The tears fell more and more urgently on her face, Shui Qingwan stepped forward to wipe the tears off Daiyu's face, held Daiyu's fingers with her soft little hands, and said: "Uncle Meimei and many uncles in black have beaten all the bad guys away. Now, the father is back, and we will be fine, mother, don't cry."

Looking at the two sensible children, Shui Rong leaned over and kissed them, and ordered the servant girl to serve them well and go to rest.Turning around, he held Daiyu tightly in his arms, with a distressed look in his eyes, as if the warm sunshine was falling on Daiyu's heart, Daiyu gradually stopped tears in his arms, but there was a coldness between his brows. She asked in a nasal voice, "Rong Ying, can you guess who those are?" No matter who puts their minds on her children, she will never let them go lightly.

"Don't cry anymore?" Shui Rong raised her eyebrows and looked at her red eyes, Daiyu pursed her lips, her watery eyes sparkled, and retorted: "I, I don't want to cry, but I don't know Why don't you cry." The tears couldn't help but slipped down, and she didn't want to.

Shui Rong smiled slightly, helped her put on her shoes and socks slowly, carried her out of the inner room and sat on the chair outside, lightly buckled the chair handle, and said, "Qimei Hanying." Two black figures came from outside the door Come in, knelt on one knee and said: "This subordinate has seen the Lord."

"After the concubine left today, my subordinates received a notification that there are about twenty unknown persons hiding in Youyun State." The voice of Mi Mei was hoarse and dark without much ups and downs, just talking about the facts!

Shui Rong folded his hands and looked sideways at Daiyu, Mo Mo turned his head to look at the bead curtain in front of him with a cold and murderous intent on the corner of his lips, and said indifferently: "Have you found out who it is?" The weapons used by the men in black are bows and arrows, drawing the bow and shooting arrows only takes an instant, and they have the mark of the viper printed on their bodies."

The water-soluble expression turned serious and looked at Qi Mei, and said, "Are the 20 or so archers all shooting star archers?" Yan Mei nodded, and said, "Yes, these twenty archers have all been executed, and the subordinates on them are all shooting stars." All of them have been thoroughly checked, and all of them are printed with the Viper mark of the Meteor Archer." As he spoke, he presented the blueprint in his hand, and Shui Rong took it and looked at it carefully, with a sneering smile on his lips, he turned around and handed over the blueprint. Hand it over to Daiyu.

"Is there any news from Beijing?" Shui Rong played with the jade wrench in his hand, his lowered eyes looked down like sharp eagles.

"The news from Beijing is as usual, there are no other changes." Shui Rong nodded, and said lightly: "Go down and rest first, and pay close attention to the movement of the capital." Looking at Hanying who just came back from the camp, he asked, "How is it?"

"Just now came the exact news from the army that the courier did die three days ago. That is to say, the courier has been replaced by someone since the prince left the camp. The courier who arrived at dusk three days ago was a fake. It's just to find the way." Hanying just came back from the camp in front, and carefully told Yu Shui Rong and Daiyu the news he got.

Daiyu propped her chin up with a half-smile and looked at Shui Rong, Shui Rong raised her eyebrows at her, and blinked ambiguously.Daiyu pouted with a blushing face, ignored him and looked down at the blueprint in her hand!

"No, Rong Ying." Daiyu, who was looking down at the blueprint in her hand, suddenly raised her head to look at Shui Rong, and Shui Rong looked at Daiyu with a smile on her face. In front of his eyes, said: "You have already seen it, right?"

Shui Rong nodded, picked up the blueprint, put it in his hand, pointed at the viper pattern on it with his slender fingers, and said indifferently: "The sharp archer who attacked Dai'er and Danyang outside the city three years ago has the viper pattern on his body. It has a small five-clawed foot, but there is no one on this pattern." The five-clawed foot on the viper pattern of Meteor Archer is tightly attached to the abdomen and merged with it. And would you think that Sun Xinzhi would add a small five-clawed foot to the viper's belly?

"Then what is their purpose of blaming Meteor Archer?" Daiyu raised her eyebrows slightly, but Shui Rong said with a faint smile: "If I knew what they wanted to do, I wouldn't have to be so caught up in thinking like I am now." It's beyond comprehension." Saying that, he waved his hand to make Hanying retreat.

Is someone going to blame Yu Shui Pei?But if it weren't for people close to him, who would know that there are such a group of powerful killers hidden around Shui Pei?She once heard Duguqian mention that the sharp archers trained by Sun Xinzhi come and go without a trace. They can pretend to be street bearers, or hide in the market as teachers.Therefore, no one has been able to find them out for sure. Even if they know that they are hiding in the capital, they can only wait for their next action.

Shui Rong looked at Daiyu tenderly and asked, "What is Dai'er thinking?" Daiyu looked at the blueprint in her hand thoughtfully, then raised her head and asked, "Rongying, you said that this expedition to the Southwest is the least Who would it be that we hope to return to court after a big victory?" Shui Rong raised his brows, and said, "The one who doesn't want us to return to court after a big victory is the prince of Xiluo Kingdom."

Daiyu nodded and said, "There is one more person."

"Who?"

"King Fengyi."

Shui Rong looked at the blueprint in Daiyu's hand pensively, picked it up and looked at it carefully, and said indifferently: "Perhaps King Fengyi doesn't like our victory and return to court, or maybe he is still looking forward to our victory and return to court. "

What's the meaning?Daiyu blinked at Shui Rong with dewy eyes, and Shui Rong burst out laughing, saying, "Xiluo Kingdom is a serious threat to the Tianbi Dynasty, King Fengyi, and all the princes and grandchildren of the Tianbi Dynasty don't want to do that." An increasingly powerful neighbor exists." He thought that the current King Fengyi should also be very contradictory, but who sent these fake archers?What is the purpose?

Daiyu nodded, and said: "Rong Ying seems to have some reason for saying this." Shui Rong glanced at her, a little worry appeared on his handsome face, he folded his hands and quietly listened to the sound of snowflakes falling, and said, "But I don't know Why, I always feel that things in the middle of the capital are so peaceful and weird." When was Shui Pei someone who would give up easily?What's more, it is the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Lord.

Daiyu nodded in sympathy, and sighed: "I'm afraid it will be the calm before the storm." Shui Rong smiled slightly, but fell into deep thought.At this time, the chief guard of the nine gates of the imperial city of the capital is the father of Su Xiaoxiao, a concubine next to Shui Yun. With such an in-law relationship, there is no fear of rebellion in the imperial city, let alone Shui Shu is still alive.

But he always felt uneasy in his heart. Those Taoist priests recommended by Shuiyun to enter the palace directly caused Shuishu to ignore the government and indulge in pills all day long. It must be Shuiyun.Shui Ronghuo straightened up, his eyes narrowed like eagles, it seemed that the battle here was really about to be settled quickly.

The power of the Li family should not be underestimated, and now Shui Yun is a bit self-indulgent. If someone catches him, and there is no military power in Beijing to support him, his position is really in jeopardy.After thinking about it, he went to the desk and wrote a note rolled up in a bamboo tube, went out, and told Steward Wang to find a proper courier to deliver the letter to Mu Yanjun.

"Rong Ying is worried that there will be changes in the capital." Daiyu looked at Steward Wang who was going away, there were a series of footprints on the white snow, messy like their state of mind at this time.Shui Rong held her in his arms and said, "Yes, we have been away from Beijing for almost two months, and the changes in Beijing can be said to be changing rapidly, but we don't know anything about it." It is good that Shui Shu wants to take back the military power, but if If someone wants to take advantage of his opportunity to leave Beijing to do something big, then he is thousands of miles away and it is really hard to guard against.

At night, the lights are like beans, Daiyu is sitting on the couch reading a book, and Shui Rong is studying the situation on the map in his hand.After staring at him for a while, Daiyu threw the book on the couch and walked to Shui Rong. Daiyu rested her chin on the table, glanced at Shui Rong, and asked with great interest, "What are the three letters that Rong Ying wrote later?" What is it?" Shui Rong sat behind the desk, resting his chin, looked sideways at her pretty face, looked at Daiyu with interest, and asked, "Daier, guess what I wrote?"

Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Daiyu pursed her red lips, and said, "I can't guess, who knows what you wrote." Thinking of the three letters falling into the hands of no one, Daiyu felt extremely anxious. Feeling uncomfortable, he drew circles on the Tang wood table with his slender hands, and muttered, "Why do you want to take away his letters?"

Shui Rong pulled her over and hugged her, resting his chin on her shoulder, kissed her jade-like earlobe, and said with a soft smile: "There are only three words in one of them, I will start and you will end. Guess Dai'er What is it?" Daiyu turned around in surprise, her soft red lips bumped against his thin lips, the arms around her waist were tightly clasped, and the red lips had been plundered by him!

Panting and pushing him away, Daiyu's cheeks were as red as fat, but the resentment on her face became more and more serious, she said: "Obviously you wrote it to me, and if someone took it out like this, I really would be ashamed to see it." I'm dead." Shui Rong held her small chin and stared at her rosy mouth, pecked lightly, bent over and hugged her, got up and walked towards the bed, and said with a light smile: "Whoever wants to watch, just look at it." , anyway, what does it matter if we are husband and wife?"

Daiyu pursed her mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "But I don't know what you wrote?" She took off her blouse with her slender fingers, and whispered to her ear: "Daier will know, I will Tell you!"

The bright yellow scroll shone brightly under the sun, and Shui Rong held the imperial decree tightly in his hand, his cold eyes shot at the eunuch who delivered the decree, and said calmly: "Eunuch Lan, go down and rest first." The Eunuch Lan looked at The back of the hand with the water-soluble veins bulging, hurriedly bowed and apologized with a smile: "The old slave still has to wait to go back to his life, and ask the prince to give the slave a favor."

He had never seen such a cold and murderous Shui Rong in the palace for many years, and he felt a little trembling in his heart.After all, he is a military nutritionist, and it's only been two months since he saw him. Shui Rong's aura is even more aggressive than when he was in the capital, and that kind of calm and majestic demeanor made him involuntarily become half shorter.

Shui Rong waved his hand lightly, and Eunuch Lan thanked him like an amnesty, and followed Butler Wang out at a trot.

"Is this decree for Rong Ying to temporarily cease fighting?" Daiyu took the bright yellow decree and looked at it carefully, with an extremely indifferent expression on her face. I'm afraid this is not Shui Shu's decree. Prince.But how could Shuiyun be so confused?Didn't he not take advantage of the defeat of the Xiluo Kingdom to pursue the victory, and wait for the spring to come, when they are strong and strong, and then go to the battlefield to fight tough battles?

The Iron Cavalry of the Xiluo Kingdom has the title of patron saint of the Xiluo Kingdom, which is enough to show how brave they are.This time Shui Rong was able to win a big victory because of the right time and place. During the battle, they burned their food and grass while taking advantage of the north wind and south fire.Now it is the middle of winter, there is no fresh grass and leaves on the ground, and the road to and from is covered with thick snow. There is no food and grass supply at all. Come back in a big defeat!

Originally, Shui Rong was going to set off today to attack Bianliang City in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that such an imperial decree would directly lock him here and be unable to move.Looking at Daiyu with her sea-like eyes, she suddenly laughed out loud, "Dai'er, have you ever heard the saying 'I will not accept the fate of my ruler abroad'"

Daiyu nodded, stood up and straightened his clothes, her cool and beautiful eyes were full of support for Shui Rong, and said: "Rong Ying is fighting outside, no matter how smart and capable the prince is, he is just talking on paper. He governs the country with benevolence and filial piety only when the country is in danger, doesn't he understand the principle of using heavy codes in troubled times?"

Shui Rong held her slightly cold little hand, and the affection in his heart was about to pour out. After all, the one who understood him best was her beloved wife, his Dai'er, and said softly: "He thinks that he will be the crown prince or the quasi-emperor." Then he can do whatever he wants, last time he was prevented from taking Su Xiaoxiao as the first side concubine because of carrying out the decree of the former queen, I am afraid that our crown prince has already remembered it in his heart."

"He's thinking about it in his heart, so let's think about it by himself. Let's just complete this emperor's order and leave it alone. Wouldn't it be nice to travel around the great rivers and mountains together?" Shui Rong held Daiyu tightly in his arms In the middle, he patted her on the back and said: "Okay, when we go back this time, let's put everything aside and learn from Tao Zhugong to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests to make a living by ourselves."
