Ye Linxiang dealt with the memorial without raising his head, stood by the door without looking or saying a word, and pinched his own hand while Ye Linzhao said nothing.

Ye Linzhao stepped forward nervously. The courage that had surged in his heart had already disappeared when he saw Ye Linxiang, and he almost collapsed into a coward.

He had no choice but to be afraid of Ye Linxiang. It had almost become his instinct. Normally, he was fine, but as long as Ye Linxiang kept a straight face, his legs would become weak, and there was no need to talk about courage.

"If nothing happens, just come back to me. If you can't help me, don't cause trouble."

Seeing that Ye Linzhao couldn't say a word for a long time, Ye Linxiang opened his mouth to chase people away.

"Why don't you see the emperor's sister?" Ye Linzhao asked in a low voice, "Do you know that she was crying? I heard my father said that the emperor's sister had not cried since she was a child, but she just cried.

"

Ye Linxiang paused with his ink pen while reviewing the memorial, and the ink dripped on the paper, rendering it red.

"I know why you are angry, and I am also worried about Sister Huang's safety, but I also know what Sister Huang is thinking," seeing that Ye Linxiang could listen, Ye Linzhao continued: "We are not Sister Huang, no

Probably make every decision for her."

"What do you know?"

Ye Linxiang raised his head, his deep eyes full of suppressed anger, as well as worry and fear hidden deep inside.

"I can't watch her go to danger even though I know there is danger. She has strength, but she will also be injured, and she will also feel pain when she is injured. If the injury is too serious, she may also die. You let me

How can you calmly watch her go to the battlefield and remain indifferent?"

Ye Linxiang was like a trapped animal in a cage at this moment, venting his emotions hysterically. His originally cold eyes turned dark and looked even more penetrating.

"But that was also the imperial sister's own choice, and we couldn't convince her at all."

Ye Linzhao's words were like a needle pricking a balloon. Ye Linxiang seemed to be deflated and lost all his energy.

"Yes," Ye Linxiang completely shrouded himself in the shadow where the light could not reach, hiding all his fragility and not letting anyone see it. "No one has ever been able to make her give up the choice she made.

"

"The late emperor couldn't do it back then. Why should I have such a feeling that has not been made public to this day?"

Ye Linxiang's voice became lower and lower, and no one heard it except himself. The self-mockery and sarcasm in his voice turned into a sharp blade, stabbing himself completely, but it seemed as if he didn't know the pain.

Revealing my own scars again and again.

"Anyway, I told you that if you don't go to see the emperor off tomorrow, I will, and I will let you preside over the morning meeting tomorrow."

Ye Linzhao finished what he wanted to say at once, turned around and left. He had to see off the emperor's sister tomorrow, so he had to go to bed early and couldn't go late.

Ye Linxiang was the only one in the empty imperial study. No matter how bright the light was, it could not illuminate the darkness deep in his heart. What was he thinking in his heart? Now, even he himself has become confused.

In a military camp on the outskirts of the capital, before dawn, the military camp became lively. The soldiers were packing up their salutes, the horn sounded, and everyone hurried to gather.

"General Zhao, how are you preparing?"

General Zhao was watching the gathering of soldiers when a cold voice sounded behind him. He looked back, immediately saluted and reported the progress.

"General, everyone is almost ready. We can set off when the time comes."

"That's good." Chen Xi nodded, and then said: "Let everyone finish breakfast. If there is nothing else, you can take a rest. In the next few days, we may need to travel day and night."

"So urgent?" General Zhao asked doubtfully, "Didn't we already make arrangements when we came back last time? How come we have to go on another expedition in less than three months?"

"General, don't say what I said is straightforward. Everyone was in high spirits when they came back. They all thought that at least they would not have to fight in the next few years. Veterans like Datie and the others have been delayed after fighting for so many years.

At their age, the people and children around them will be fooling themselves."

"When they came back, everyone in the family hurriedly found a match for them, and when the time came, they married each other. When the time came, the wife and children were on the bed, but now it happened again, and the other party was

She refused to get married, and now she is making a fuss about calling off the engagement."

"I can't help my brothers."

Chen Xi's face didn't look good either, but this matter was of great importance. The court had not announced Zhang Donglin's crime yet, because they were afraid that the Huns would find out the news, and the situation would be even more troublesome.

"Brothers, I don't mean to say this to make things difficult for you, General," General Zhao saw that Chen Xi's face was not very good, so he explained: "It's just that brothers don't understand why. It's okay to fight, but there must be a reason.

"

"This battle is not clear-cut. If that brother goes there, everyone will really not be able to accept it. If there is a reason, everyone can persuade themselves to some extent and be mentally prepared to some extent."

"General Zhao, you and I have worked together for so long. Not only do I understand your character, but you also understand mine."

Chen Xi patted General Zhao on the shoulder, with a solemn expression on his face, "We can't talk about this yet. When the war starts, you will know the reason. I don't want to lie to you, so don't ask. When the time comes, I

Will tell."

"Hey---" Seeing the serious look on Chen Xi's face, General Zhao knew that he wouldn't get any information. After sighing, he stopped pressing, "Of course, my subordinates obeyed the general's order.

My subordinates will make arrangements now."

"Go ahead."

After nearly half an hour, the horn sounded again in the military camp, and everyone was ready to go, waiting for the last order to be given in the morning light.

"General?"

General Zhao was beside Chen Xi. Seeing Chen Xi staring in the direction of the capital and not moving, he thought she was reluctant to part with him.

In fact, most of the time, the general is too strong and stubborn, which always makes people forget that she is actually a woman. At this age, if she is not still loved by her parents, she would have been married long ago.

Live a life of caring for your husband and raising your children.

How is it like their general, who is obviously a noble princess, but lives a miserable life with the soldiers on the frontier, but never utters a word of suffering? No matter how difficult it is, he bears it on his own.

People feel sad.

"General, it's time for us to leave. The time has come."

Chen Xi took one last look at the road where there was no one around, tightened the reins in his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go."

Chen Xi's army had just not covered one mile when the rapid sound of horse hooves came from behind. Chen Xi vaguely heard something and tightened the reins in his hands to stop the horse.

Amidst the flying dust, Chen Xi saw the voice she had been looking forward to. The joy on her face could not be stopped, and she opened her mouth to make the team stop.

Ye Linxiang came here after a long and dusty journey. When he stopped, his clothes became a little messy and there was sweat on his forehead.

But Ye Linxiang, who was originally a bit of a germaphobe, didn't pay attention this time. Instead, he stared deeply at Chenxi with his deep eye mask. The two looked at each other affectionately, and neither of them spoke.

"Here, general, I will go and arrange the team first. If there is anything going on between you and the regent, please resolve it as soon as possible. We will wait for you in front."

General Zhao is also an old general who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years. Even if he can't see the fishy relationship between Chen Xi and Ye Linxiang, his instinct urges him to leave this place of right and wrong.

Chen Xi nodded, "I will follow as soon as possible."

General Zhao got the answer and continued to move forward in front of the large army.

"Why did you come with me?" Seeing that Ye Linxiang had no intention of speaking, Chen Xi broke the silence first and asked, "I thought you didn't come to see me off."

"Do you have to go?"

Ye Linxiang did not answer Chen Xi's words, but instead asked her.

"Yes," Chen Xi said firmly after being stunned for a while, "I have to go, I won't change my mind."

"..."

Ye Linxiang did not rush to express his opinion. Instead, he looked at Chenxi seriously, trying to describe the outline of Chenxi with his own eyes, and then closed his eyes and imagined her appearance.

"Then go." Ye Linxiang opened his eyes and already had the answer in his heart, "I will wait for you to come back."

Ye Linxiang suddenly let go, but Chen Xi couldn't react. After being stunned for a long time, he finally realized what Ye Linxiang said.

"Well, I will definitely come back."

Chen Xi reached out from her arms and took out her personal jade pendant. With a slight movement, the jade pendant split into two halves. Chen Xi took Ye Linxiang's hand and placed one half in his hand.

"This jade pendant of mine was specially made for me when my father was still alive. It is probably the only one in the world. It can be divided into two halves. I will give this half to you."

Ye Linxiang looked at the half of the jade pendant carved with dragons in his hand, and then at the half of the jade pendant carved with phoenix in Chen Xi's hand. A faint arc appeared on his indifferent face. The trace of haze in his heart was all gone, and there was only one thing in his eyes.

He and Zhen'er were left, as well as the jade pendants in their hands, and there was no room for anyone else.

"Ding---, the villain's darkening value is -5. The current darkening value is 0. Congratulations to the host for completing the mission."

Chen Xi looked at the smile on Ye Linxiang's face and couldn't help but laugh too. This was an unintentional act.

After completing a matter of his own, Chen Xi didn't mind making Ye Linxiang happier. Before Ye Linxiang could react, he moved his horse closer to Ye Linxiang and raised his head to bring Ye Linxiang's face

A kiss up and down.
