(Yeah)

It was another sleepless night. I scratched my scalp helplessly and sat up from the bed. I kept my eyes open for almost the entire night, staring at the carvings on the tent roof, counting sheep until I was confused. I finally fell asleep.

The past passed, and I relived the situation of my mother being hospitalized in my dream. The feeling of depression made me wake up from my dream. After that, I couldn't fall asleep, waiting for dawn with my eyes open...

I stretched out my hand to open the curtains, and a trace of golden color came in through the screen window. I patted my somewhat groggy head and slowly walked to the dressing table and sat down. I looked at myself in the mirror and unconsciously smiled wryly. The person in the mirror was still there.

Me? Why are you so haggard?

He rubbed his cheeks with both hands, feeling like he was thinner than Huanghua.

She tied up her hair and put on a pink gauze skirt. The reason why she chose pink was because she thought it would make her face look better. After washing and tidying up, she opened the door to the palace. The courtyard had been swept clean, and the morning mist was gathering.

The sky above Wei Palace was graceful and ethereal. I walked to the flower stand, sat down leaning on the night vine, and took a deep breath of the fresh air mixed with the faint fragrance of flowers. My mind suddenly became much clearer.

In the past few days, after the emperor came to court, he would ask Yan Xi to invite me to play chess with him in the Yangxin Palace. After a few days, I didn’t have any other skills, but my chess skills improved. Of course, what made me happy was that I got the battlefield from the emperor.

The information contained therein also included the letter Ye sent back to me along with the military letter.

Despite the huge disparity in the numbers of the two armies, the first battle between Ye and Xiyue actually achieved quite good results. This was the most heated topic discussed in the court recently. The private soldiers led by Lian Yuanfei did not compete with the heavy artillery brigade due to the heavy artillery brigade.

Xiyue's army arrived outside Zengcheng at the same time, and Ling Ye took advantage of this opportunity to lead Xiyue's 5,000 vanguards into the swamps on the western outskirts of Zengcheng. The Xiyue soldiers, who did not know the geographical situation, saw that there were only a small number of Xuan** troops, and made meritorious service.

They were so eager that they didn't think it was a trap. The five thousand pioneers were like tigers coming out of their cages, chasing after them fiercely. As expected, the five thousand pioneers were instantly swallowed up by the mudflow in the swamps of the western suburbs, and more than half of the troops were swallowed up. Until

At that moment, the Xiyue army knew that they had been deceived and was very upset. They turned back with the remaining troops and horses, but they did not expect that Mo Haoran had already led his troops to prepare an ambush in the jungle in the western suburbs. After a fierce battle between the two sides, only Xiyue

The vanguard generals broke out of the siege and fled back to the Xiyue camp. The rest of the soldiers were killed.

I don’t know how the words spoken in the Emperor’s Hall of Mental Cultivation that day had any effect, nor how the Emperor created public opinion and rumors. I only know that some subtle things quietly changed inadvertently.

That day Yue Ming came back from the palace and said with a smile that he had brought me a piece of gossip. It turned out that the people in the market were talking about more than just the war between Xuan Guo and Xi Yue. There was another issue that they were even more excited to talk about.

, that is, Lian Yuanfei. The common people actually described him as a tycoon. They all said that Xiyue Khan King Yekel, who called himself the son of the wolf, was nonsense and was just a fool for Lian Yuanfei to take advantage of! Xiyue

In fact, the biggest beneficiary from the war with Xuanguo was Lian Yuanfei. He knew King Rui of Xuanguo's leadership ability, but he did not dare to confront him head-on. He hid behind the Xiyue army and acted like a coward.

In order to preserve the strength of his own army, let the Xiyue army compete with them and act as cannon fodder. The people behind their backs said that Lian Yuanfei was very deep in the city. And the Xiyue Kingdom was simply being manipulated by others.

Pussy bag, even if you can win the war with Xuan Guo, it will definitely be a miserable victory. Lian Yuanfei's strategy of mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind is really wonderful.

After I heard such news, I just smiled. In fact, upon careful analysis, such rumors themselves have many loopholes, but public opinion is like this. Whether it is ancient or modern, people's gossip and propaganda abilities are amazing.

Shockingly, in just a few days, such remarks were already flying all over the sky like snow flakes. I heard that the Xiyue Army also had some grudges against Lian Yuanfei because of the rumors. When the artillery arrived at Zengcheng,

Lian Yuanfei's private soldiers were asked to attack the city with artillery, while the Xiyue army himself stayed in the barracks and stood still. This was the battle report sent to the palace at dusk last night. Now, has Lian Yuanfei begun to use artillery?

The city is under siege? Can Ye handle it calmly?

I sighed worriedly. It was probably because I was worried that I couldn't sleep last night!

"Sister, are you awake?" Wan'er's voice came from the palace door.

I stuck my head out and smiled at her: "Well, I've been up for a while, and I can't sleep. Why not get up early and take a breath of fresh air!" I looked at her holding several packages of medicinal materials in her hands, which must have just come from the imperial pharmacy.

When I brought it back, I remembered that Wan'er had been drinking the decoction for several days. I didn't know how effective it was, so I asked with a smile: "Wan'er, how do you feel after drinking the decoction these days?"

Wan'er's cheeks were slightly red. She trotted over with a faint smile and whispered: "Well, uh... my menstrual period this month feels much better, and the injured area in my lower abdomen no longer hurts.

, Wan'er feels that this medicine should have an effect..."

"That's good. Since it's effective, Wan'er should insist on drinking it for a while. I'll read the medical books again today. There is another stronger medicine in Lan Gu's notes. You just started taking it. I don't dare to add it.

, I will check the dosage of the medicine later and try to add a little bit."

"Yes. Thank you sister!" Wan'er smiled.

I feigned anger and curled my lips and replied, "Are you sincerely trying to make me feel sad by being so polite?"

When Wan'er heard this, she panicked and hurriedly wanted to explain to me. She gave up when she saw my pursed lips and snickering expression, and said angrily: "Sister is so childish!"

Shuang'er came out of the ear room and asked respectfully: "Master, breakfast has been prepared. Do you want to eat now?"

I stood up and was about to respond when Yue Ming's voice came from the door of Caiwei Palace: "Xiaowei, I will take you out for morning tea today..."

"Have morning tea? Are you leaving the palace?" When I heard this, my eyes lit up and my beautiful mood blossomed at this moment.

Yue Ming was dressed in a white robe, with a lazy and unruly expression full of charm. He reached out and fiddled with the long hair on his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Of course I am leaving the palace. The breakfast in this palace is exquisite, but you eat a lot.

There is no smell, but the refreshments outside the palace still remind me of them. What do you think? Do you want to come out of the palace with me?"

I nodded, but did not forget to give him a roll of my eyes, and said angrily: "Yue Ming, I find that you are talking more and more nonsense!"

Yue Ming made a sweaty gesture and stuck out his tongue: "Xiaowei, I find that you are getting more and more rude... Uh, how dare this boudoir life bring about not self-cultivation but the opposite?"

I immediately lowered my head and asked Wan'er to help me find the badge to get out of the palace. I also asked them to eat by themselves without worrying about me. When I walked out of the gate of Caiwei Palace, I realized that no matter where I go now, I have to follow behind me.

Two followers. Those are the hidden guards that Ye left behind to protect me.

The first month of the first month has ended, and February has come quietly. The cold and cold air of winter has suddenly subsided, and spring warmth suddenly appeared in Tianyi City, with a scene of grass growing and orioles flying. Yue Ming and I were walking side by side on the wide imperial road, and suddenly flying in the air

It started to drizzle, and I stretched out my hand to catch the rain and mist, which was as fine as a cow's hair, and felt the softness of the city's "light rain on the sky streets as moist as silk."

The city is still bustling. It's early in the morning, and there are people on both sides of the road who are shouting and selling food. I looked here and there, and I saw bursts of fragrance wafting past, which made my stomach growl.

"What do you want to eat? I'll treat you!" Yue Ming took my hand and asked with a smile.

I pointed to a stall selling hot sauce not far away and suggested, "Yue Ming, that one looks delicious, let's go and try it?"

"Okay!" Yue Ming smiled, pulled me straight to the stall, found a small table and sat down.

The stall owner rushed over to greet us, and soon brought us hot fried milk and pancake fruits. I held the porcelain bowl and took a sip. The strong bean flavor was strong. Compared with the modern soy milk mixed with water, these

It's really delicious, the original flavor of soybean juice.

I put down the porcelain bowl and glanced at the two hidden guards leaning near the stall. I felt a little embarrassed. I was just focusing on eating myself and forgot about their existence. I asked them to come over to eat together, but they were a little shy.

, they were not allowed to sit at the same table with us, so in the end we had no choice but to let them sit down near us, and treat each of them to a bowl of hot sauce and some refreshments.

We lowered our heads and drank the hot sauce. After a while, several more customers came in one after another. The boss was busy greeting the customers enthusiastically. Two middle-aged men among them sat down at the table behind Yue Ming.

"Hey, Brother Liu, I just saw you coming out of Jingzhao Yin Yamen and looking at the door of the Yamen for a long time. What were you looking at?" There was a man behind Yue Ming as soon as he sat down and he couldn't wait to look at the man he called Brother Liu.

asked his companion.

I looked up at them with some curiosity. Judging from their clothes, they should be scholars. Brother Liu heard his companion ask him, and there was a smug smile on his face: "Your Excellency's young master came back from the front this morning.

, sent the battle report from the front line to the emperor. As your deputy, I went to the palace to attend court, and the work of writing notices was naturally done for my brother. Brother Li, didn't you see a group of common people surrounding the gate of Jingzhao Yin Yamen just now?

?”

"Notice? Is it about the war?" the man named Li asked.

The man surnamed Liu took a sip of the soldering paste that the boss had just given him, and after putting it down, he said calmly: "Isn't the most important thing in the world now the war between us Xuanguo and Xiyue!"

The man surnamed Li saw that he had not officially entered the topic, and urged him a little impatiently: "How is the military situation now?"

The man surnamed Liu smiled faintly: "Haha... Look how anxious you are. Lian Yuan is not that son of a bitch. He brought artillery and private soldiers and started to attack the city."

"Artillery? Then... what is the situation in Zengcheng now? Has His Highness defended the city?" The man surnamed Li asked nervously. He didn't even have time to take a sip of the soldering paste in his hand. No.

It's just him. When I heard this, I couldn't help but prick up my ears. In yesterday's battle report, I only heard that Lian Yuanfei led his soldiers and Ye's army to confront each other. Could it be that they had already started fighting last night? (To be continued. If
