Luo Junyao didn't know how long she slept. When she woke up, the sky outside was still bright, but her body was inexplicably sore and weak. She couldn't help but lay on the bed and stretched out without any image. She was about to sit up.
When I came, I heard Xie Yan's voice coming from not far away, "Are you awake?"
Luo Jun shook his head and looked over, only to see Xie Yan sitting on the other side reading a book by the window.
When he heard the noise here, he put the book on the table aside, got up and walked towards the bed.
Luo Junyao rubbed his eyes, sat up from the bed, and asked, "When is it? How long have I been asleep?"
Xie Yan chuckled lightly and said, "You have been sleeping for seven hours, and it is morning now."
Seven hours? That’s not fourteen hours?!
She was a little shocked and didn't believe it. She looked out through the window and saw that it was indeed early morning.
"Why did I sleep for so long?" Luo Junyao asked doubtfully.
Xie Yan sighed lightly, walked to the bed, sat down, raised his hand and touched her forehead and said, "You are sick, don't you feel anything? You had a fever in the middle of the night last night."
Luo Junyao felt it carefully. Apart from his body being a little sore and weak, he really didn't feel anything.
There is no memory of last night at all.
"I'm all right."
Xie Yan said softly: "I'll have people deliver food and soup. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Luo Junyao shook his head quickly. She had just woken up. Where could she sleep?
Looking at the obvious fatigue on Xie Yan's eyebrows, I knew that he probably didn't sleep well all night to take care of himself, "Did you not sleep last night? Why don't you take a rest first?"
Xie Yan said: "It doesn't matter, I'm not tired, am I hungry?"
Luo Junyao nodded honestly. After sleeping for more than ten hours, can he not be hungry?
After a while, Qin Yaoer came over with vegetables, rice and medicine that had just been cooked.
The meals consisted of porridge and side dishes that were light and easy to digest, but the smell of medicine only made people feel that the whole room was filled with fragrance, and there was nothing in the nose except the smell of medicine.
Luo Junyao endured it and said, "Why don't you give me the medicine first?" After drinking it, it wouldn't smell so bad in the stomach.
Qin Yao'er glared and said, "Princess, you haven't eaten for a long time, how can you drink medicine?"
Luo Junyao grimaced, "You're making the whole house smell so bad that I can't eat."
Xie Yan glanced at Qin Yao'er and said, "Take it out first, and after Shake has finished his meal, he will have someone make the medicine again and bring it back."
Qin Yao'er thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's okay, it's not an emergency medicine anyway."
So I really took out the medicine.
While Luo Junyao was eating, he asked Qin Yao'er who turned around and came in, "What's wrong with me? I feel like there's nothing wrong with me."
Qin Yao'er lay on the table, glanced at Xie Yan who was sitting next to her, and said, "Maybe you are too tired? You are not in good health and need a good rest."
"..." What's wrong with my body?
Facing her questioning gaze, Qin Yao'er said: "Anyway, you have to listen to the doctor. Compared with those wealthy ladies, your health is indeed not bad, but it's not much better. Running around during this period is too hard.
I suddenly felt a little feverish after I had some free time. It’s not a big problem. I just need to adjust it a little and it will be fine.”
"That's good." Luo Junyao also felt that it made sense after hearing this. Her body was originally that of a wealthy lady who knew how to embroider her fists and legs, and she had been exercising seriously in the past few months.
During this time, you can travel to mountains and seas all over the world, so it’s okay to get sick occasionally.
Luo Junyao looked at Xie Yan who was sitting next to him, "Yao'er said I'm fine. Ayan, aren't you busy?"
"Gu Jue is in charge of the war in Yannan, and Jinxing is in charge of Liangzhou. There really is nothing to be busy with."
Luo Junyao looked at him with some suspicion, "Just go and do it if you have something to do. I don't feel uncomfortable at all. I don't need anyone to accompany me."
Xie Yan helplessly raised his hand to rub her hair and said: "If Gu Jue can't even deal with Cao Jie, he shouldn't be the commander of the army in this town. There are no problems in Gaoyu King City, so naturally I will
Nothing happens."
"You haven't told me yet, what did you do in Gaoyu?" Luo Junyao asked curiously.
She only knew that Xie Yan took Qu Fang to Gaoyu, but she didn't know what exactly Xie Yan did when he went to Gaoyu.
Xie Yan said: "It's nothing, I just helped He Ruoqiu."
"You killed King Gao Yu?!" Luo Junyao opened his eyes wide.
Xie Yan said helplessly: "Killing King Gaoyu now will only make the various tribes in Gaoyu more united and more hostile to Dasheng."
"Then what did you do?"
Xie Yan said: "The power of the Gaoyu royal family and the major tribes is in a relationship of ebb and flow. If Heruomuti's army is almost wiped out in the pass, the power of King Gaoyu will naturally be greatly damaged. In addition, the town in Liangzhou
The national army and Jinxing also selectively severely damaged the troops directly belonging to the royal family."
"So, the king's power is weak now?"
Xie Yan nodded and said: "It can be said that King Gaoyu was not unable to stabilize the situation originally, but I helped them add fuel to the fire."
"what have you done?"
Xie Yan said: "I just told Gao Yu's beloved concubine that her son is in my hands."
Luo Junyao changed his question, "What did Gao Yu's beloved concubine do?"
"She stabbed King Gaoyu in the back during the critical moment of the dispute between King Gaoyu and the Queen. Now Princess Heruomuti's natal father and brother were killed, and the whole family became slaves of the Gle family. King Gaoyu and Queen
After a stalemate, he was forced to agree to make He Ruoqiuti the crown prince."
"So easy?" Luo Junyao was a little surprised.
"Gaoyu is originally a kingdom formed by tribal alliances. Whoever is more powerful has his word. Even King Gaoyu, if his power is weaker than his subordinates, it is not difficult to be replaced. Now King Gaoyu and the queen are in charge
With half of the power, He Ruoqiuti will inherit the throne in the future, which is already the best choice."
The people of Gaoyu do not respect the imperial power as much as the people of the Central Plains. Changing the head of the family is not a big deal to them.
Although the Central Plains Dynasty has always been called Gaoyu, King Gaoyu changed his surname several times, and I am afraid they themselves may not remember it clearly.
Luo Junyao frowned and said, "But He Ruoqiuti..." He Ruoqiuti really doesn't look like a British master.
Xie Yan smiled and said: "This is what will happen in the future. King Gao Yu will not die for a while."
"What about He Ruomudi?" Luo Junyao blinked, "Did I save his life unnecessary?"
Xie Yan shook his head and said: "No, you did the right thing. Let him go back when Yanzhou is completely pacified."
"..."
Now that half of King Gaoyu's power has been lost, he is forced to make He Ruoqiuti the crown prince.
Heruomuti was considered the trigger and the biggest responsible person for King Gaoyu's failure, but he was also the heir that King Gaoyu valued most.
He Ruomuti still has his own ambitions. If Da Sheng can give him some more support, it is conceivable that Gaoyu King City will be very lively for many years to come.
After breakfast, Luo Junyao was dragged out for a walk by Xie Yan.
Just after leaving the courtyard gate, I saw Han's figure in the distance.
I don't know if she was frightened yesterday, but Han didn't come forward this time. She just saluted the two of them from a distance and then backed away in panic.
The hurried back looked like there was a tiger chasing her behind.
Luo Junyao thought for a moment and came to some understanding.
She just lost her temper with Jiang Guanmu and Mr. Han last night, and ended up falling ill that night. Even if Xie Yan didn't say anything, Mrs. Han would probably wonder if her illness was related to what happened last night.
After all, ladies from powerful families and famous families are quite prone to "Qi diseases".
How dare you come forward like this?
Jianling City has returned to its former peace, but the business travel has not returned to its original level, making it seem a bit deserted.
However, the pedestrians and vendors on the street did not show any panic or worry on their faces. They obviously felt that the sudden war was far away from them.
The two walked hand in hand on the street, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Both of them were extremely well-dressed and handsome, and ordinary people would not dare to approach them and strike up a conversation.
Luo Junyao happily held a candied haws of water and ate it while walking. The sweet taste made her feel very good.
"Yanzhou is fine. Are we leaving Yanzhou next?" Luo Junyao asked as he walked.
Xie Yan looked down at her, nodded and said: "After going to Qingzhou to deal with the matter, it's time to return to Shangyong."
As soon as he mentioned Shangyong, Luo Junyao suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.
General Luo must have known about her great achievements during this period. Luo Junyao was a little worried: I wonder what my father would think of this strange daughter of hers?
As if he knew what she was worried about, Xie Yan held her hand and said softly: "General Luo will definitely be proud of you. The girls of the Luo family are also women and men."
Luo Junyao smiled, took a big bite of the candied haws, and said nothing.
As the two walked, they talked about their respective things during their separation.
Unknowingly, I walked all the way to the bottom of the tower and happened to see Jiang Guanmu coming down from the tower.
"I have finally met the prince and the princess." Jiang Guanmu bowed his hands respectfully.
Xie Yan nodded and said, "How did things go?"
Jiang Guanmu hesitated for a moment and said, "Please tell me, Prince Qi, that the handover matters have almost been settled with General Zhendong."
Xie Yan said: "Very good. Once the handover is completed, Marquis Yueyang can return to Beijing."
Jiang Guanmu said: "Your Majesty, the construction of Ling City is complicated. General Zhendong is also responsible for the defense of Chixia Pass. Do you need the last general to stay and assist for a period of time?"
Xie Yan said: "It doesn't have to be like this. Lu Hao has been stationed at the border all year round. These things cannot trouble him. When the war in Yannan is over, Jiang Yan will be stationed at Chixia Pass for a long time."
Jiang Guanmu lowered his head in shame, "The general and the Yanzhou army have let the prince down."
In addition to Wu Yi's surrender to the enemy, the reason why the Gaoyu people were able to invade the pass without any effort was because the Yanzhou army was distracted.
Jiang Guanmu was slightly lower than Wu Yi in terms of military rank, but his influence as a lord was no less than that of Wu Yi. As the deputy commander of the Yanzhou Army, he actually did nothing except guarding Jianling City.
If Jiang Yan and Gu Jue hadn't arrived in time, they might not even have been able to defend the mausoleum.
Now the regent has personally transferred one of the chief generals of the Zhenguo Army to guard Yanbei, which shows his dissatisfaction and disappointment with them.
Xie Yan looked calm, without any anger, "In recent years, I have been paying attention to the northwest and neglected Yanzhou, which made the people of Gaoyu think there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. Marquis Yueyang can guard Jianling, how can I
I'm glad. You've been stationed in Yanzhou for nearly ten years, and it's time to go back."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Guanmu sighed secretly and saluted the two of them again before leaving.
"Is Jiang Guanmu going back to Shangyong?" Luo Junyao asked.
Xie Yan nodded and said: "The Yanzhou army is disorganized and weak. I mobilized the Zhenguo army to garrison Yanbei to defend against the Gaoyu people, and I can also reorganize the Yanzhou army. Jiang Guanmu has already reached the time to return to Beijing.
It’s time, it’s better to go back.”
Jiang Guanmu had nothing to do with his official duties and was willing to persevere in the face of danger.
Xie Yan did not even doubt that if the city really came to be broken, he would die for his country.
But other than that, he has not done much more in Yanzhou over the years.
Yanzhou's current and future situation does not require a general who can only muddle along.
The reason why Wu Yi was originally chosen to lead the Yanzhou Army instead of Jiang Guanmu, who had a higher status, was that Jiang Guanmu was not a playboy, but he also lacked some enterprising spirit.
The two boarded the tower, and Luo Junyao couldn't help but sigh: "When they go back, I'm afraid there will be another storm."
Xie Yan looked down at her, and Luo Junyao leaned on his shoulder and said, "I know you think this is not a big deal, but...if I were Mrs. Yueyang Hou, I would definitely make arrangements for Jiang Guanmu!"
Xie Yan heard the resentment in her tone and couldn't help but chuckled: "How does the princess plan to arrange it?"
Luo Junyao raised his eyes and smiled at him, saying: "Cast him! Then divorce him, drive him out of the house, and let him and his true love live in love for the rest of their lives."
Xie Yan shook his head and said: "Marquis Yueyang is the one who has the initiative. Unless he volunteers, otherwise... it is impossible to drive him out of the house."
Luo Junyao glanced at him and said nothing.
Xie Yan immediately changed his words: "Shao Yao is right, drive him out of the house."
Luo Junyao sighed, of course she knew Xie Yan was coaxing her.
However, she had no interest in getting angry with Xie Yan over other people's affairs. She tilted her head and said, "I hope Mrs. Yueyang Hou will be more open-minded and don't feel sad for someone who is not worth it."
"The letter I shook to Die Ying before I went out was for Madam Yueyang Hou?" Xie Yan asked.
Luo Junyao did not deny it: "Yes, I told Mrs. Yueyang Hou about Jiang Guanmu. It is better to know in advance than to be caught off guard."
"What else was written in the letter?"
Luo Jun rolled his eyes and said nothing.
Xie Yan did not force her, but said softly: "Don't worry, as long as Jiang Che is here, Mrs. Yueyang Hou's life will not be difficult."
Luo Jun said: "You are right." As long as Mrs. Yueyang Hou can think openly, her life will not be difficult.
I'm just afraid that she will get stuck in the illusory relationship between husband and wife and make things difficult for herself.
Xie Yan stretched out his hand to take her into his arms and said softly: "Mrs. Yueyang Hou can support the entire Hou family alone. She is not a weak person."
"I am not Jiang Guanmu, and I will not be like him."
Luo Junyao couldn't help but raise his head and glare at him, saying: "Of course you are not him. How can Jiang Guanmu compare with you?"
Xie Yan chuckled, lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers, saying softly: "I thought Shake was worried."
Luo Junyao looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. He couldn't help but stand up on tiptoes, bit his lip, and gritted his teeth and said, "I am not Mrs. Jiang either. If you dare to be like Jiang Guanmu, I will kill you."
"I don't dare." Xie Yan sighed softly, took her into his arms and said, "When A Cheng takes charge, I won't have to worry about these things. Then we will go wherever Yayao wants to go."
Luo Junyao's eyes lit up and he immediately forgot his previous discomfort, "Then let's go to Zhangzhou and go to sea with my uncle's caravan?"
Xie Yan nodded and said: "If you like it, of course you can."
