At the end of March in the 31st year of the Yuan Dynasty in the Dayao calendar, the imperial capital was peaceful, green grass was sprouting, and it was full of vitality.
The Northern Expedition has been setting out for more than half a month, and the news returned is that everything is safe and sound. The spring is warm and the sun is shining brightly. Emperor Yao is in a good mood, and his illness that has been lingering for half a year is much better. He took advantage of the opportunity of the visit of foreign envoys to hold a banquet for his ministers.
Drunk into the night.
"I haven't seen the fifth prince for a long time. I'm so happy today. How about we go and have a few more drinks?" After the banquet, all the ministers ran back to their homes drunkenly in twos and threes. However, Prime Minister Zuo was not less interested and pulled the fifth prince to go to his house.
He continued to drink. The other ministers only thought that he had drunk too much and no one cared about what the two people would say when they got together. Little did they know that a huge web of conspiracy had been opened, and the target was to go to the Jolo River Khan.
The prince-general Yi Chenjing on the front line of the country and his concubine, Bai Qige.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is not far outside the palace. Prime Minister Zuo led others to sit in the hall and poured a cup of tea for the fifth prince Yi Chenxuan across half the table: "Is there any news from Qi Tao?"
"Why are you so anxious? It's only been a few days?" Yi Chenxuan picked up the tea cup and took a sniff. He shook his head and said, "Your tea is still so tasteless. It's okay if you don't drink it."
Prime Minister Zuo was far less calm than him, and he punched the table hard: "I really didn't expect those ordnance pictures to be made by women. If I had known this, it would have been better to let her freeze to death in the snow.
That boy Yi Chenjing has become even more powerful, and he has become more and more favored by the emperor."
"You are so shocked by just a few pictures of weapons. What if I said her intelligence is much more than that? That woman is bold and careful, and her methods are very sharp. Even I suffered from her." Thinking of being beaten on the day of the expedition.
Bai Qige slapped her hard. Yi Chenxuan's face was gloomy and terrifying, and his cheek seemed to be still burning with pain. "Things are very strange. I asked people to ask the old servants of the Bai family, and they all insisted that Bai Qige was a cowardly and weak woman.
The act of being coerced by Yun Zhongjin to steal the defense plan also shows that she is very timid. How could such a woman suddenly change her gender and become Yi Chenjing's most powerful chess piece? Fortunately, Qi Tao had been informed before the expedition to act accordingly.
With his caution and cunning, it is not difficult to get rid of Bai Qige."
Prime Minister Zuo snorted coldly, as if he was not very satisfied with Yi Chenxuan's arrangement: "What's the use of just getting rid of Bai Qige? The most important thing is Yi Chenjing. That kid is eager to fight for the throne, and his level of cover-up is no less than yours -
He sent the concubine Jing out of the palace to prevent us from taking action. I sent people to inquire for so many days and still couldn't find any trace. It's extremely abominable."
I don't know whether to think it's ridiculous or stupid to kill someone's biological mother and to blame someone for being on guard. Yi Chenxuan played with the teacup calmly, his sinister eyes narrowing into slits.
"Don't worry, neither Bai Qige nor Yi Chenjing can escape. The Huoluohe Khanate will be their burial ground. Let them remain underground as a ghost couple until death!"
Under the same night thousands of miles away, the army of Yaoguo was immersed in a deep sleep. From a distance, there were only a few tents with lights on, and one of them was the tent of General Yi Chenjing.
"After crossing the Wukue River and walking for more than 200 miles, you will reach Lingyun City, an important place on the Dayao border. You need to stay there for three days to prepare enough food and grass and rendezvous with the remaining people. During this period, you must also prevent sneak attacks from the Huoluo River Khanate.
.Those nomadic soldiers are best at raiding, riding and shooting. Lingyun City relies on the moat and high walls to avoid being harassed day and night. Even so, there have been more than one incidents where the Huoluohe tribe sneaked into the city and robbed and destroyed it."
Yi Chenjing frowned at the map on the tiled desk, her expression much more serious than at the beginning of the march, which intuitively made Bai Qige feel the tension of the approaching war. She was not afraid of sleeping in the open air, and she was not afraid of hardship and hardship. Only Yi Chen
Jing's frown made Bai Qige worried. On the surface, the four lieutenants looked friendly, but in fact they were not convinced by the young prince general. Yi Chenjing encountered great resistance every time he made a decision, whether it was appropriate or not.
After a month, I have obviously lost weight.
"It will take three days to get to Wukue River, why are you worried so early?" Bai Qige dimmed the oil lamp, grabbed the map and stuffed it aside, her thin figure was stretched out on the ground. She stretched out her hand to press the center of Yi Chenjing's eyebrows, Bai Qige was really
She hoped that she could soothe all his worries and never see her frown again, but she also knew that that day would never come.
As a prince, he has the troubles of a prince; as a general, he has the worries of a general; if he were a king, he would also have the troubles of a king.
The cold fingertips made Yi Chenjing feel slightly distressed. Bai Qige followed him on the expedition before she had fully recovered from her miscarriage. The symptoms of cold body and Qi deficiency came and went, and her hands and feet were always as cold as the middle of winter, although she kept pretending that nothing was wrong and could not bear it.
But he knew it very well. For several nights he saw her covered in cold sweat, biting her lip and trembling all over.
This disease may stay with her for the rest of her life.
The serious look on his face became much lighter. Yi Chenjing turned around and hugged Bai Qige, speaking softly: "I was still thinking of going to bed early today, but I forgot about the time while looking at the map. Go to bed, you haven't looked very good these past two days, are you tired?"
Bai Qige groaned and didn't answer. She avoided Yi Chenjing and got into the quilt alone.
In fact, she really wanted to complain. The reason why she couldn't sleep well was not because she was too tired or anything else, but entirely because of Yi Chenjing - it had been raining and cold these days, and Yi Chenjing always used her as a heater in his sleep.
The hug was so tight that it was difficult to breathe smoothly. How could she sleep well in that state? But seeing his tired look and not having the heart to protest, she would rather sleep less if she could give him a moment of warmth to sleep peacefully.
But one thing I have to admit is that Bai Qige always sleeps soundly when Yi Chenjing is by her side.
After extinguishing the oil lamp and taking off his shirt, Yi Chenjing took off Bai Qige's armor with ease, lay down on the floor, hooked his wrists, and rolled his soft body into his arms.
In the past, I always felt that there was not enough time. I wished I had to eat, drink or even sleep. I devoted myself to the battle every day. Since Bai Qige appeared, marching has become a lot more fun, especially when night falls, it has become what Yi Chenjing looks forward to most every day.
It's a matter of fact, because only then can Bai Qige take off her men's clothes and hold her tightly in her arms.
"I've lost weight again." Yi Chenjing whispered into Bai Qige's ear as she put her palms on her soft waist and squeezed it gently.
Bai Qige clapped her hot palm away and glared at Yi Chenjing, not sure if she could see it: "Don't make trouble."
"If the soldiers know that I have a beautiful woman with me every night, I don't know what trouble they will cause."
A really beautiful lady may make people jealous and dissatisfied. This face... I guess no one will envy her. Bai Qige is noncommittal. She is very confident in her appearance. Except for Yi Chenjing, a man with "ulterior motives", there is absolutely no possibility of anyone else.
Men fall into the path of self-humiliation.
Drowsiness invaded his mind bit by bit like silk threads. Just when Bai Qi's fans were about to fall asleep, a burst of hot air disturbed the situation, and then there was a heat on their lips, and their breathing began to become irregular again.
The third time, this is the third time since the expedition that Yi Chenjing could not control himself and made "little moves". He hugged each other every night, but could only hug each other without making any progress. For Yi Chenjing, who is just a young man, he wants to keep close to each other all the time.
The state of abstinence was simply impossible. He had managed to suppress the heat the previous two times, but the discomfort and secret impatience of the past few days made it really unbearable for him this time. No matter how much he kissed, he couldn't get enough of her, and it was hard to satisfy his desire.
"Qi Ge..."
Bai Qige's hesitant tone made Bai Qige keenly aware that Yi Chenjing seemed to be different tonight, less patient and more hot. She subconsciously avoided her hot lips, Bai Qige turned her head to one side, but unexpectedly, Yi Chenjing also breathed hot.
Then he followed, and while dodging, he was crushed.
"Is it okay tonight?" He breathed heavily in his ears, suppressing and hiding, "I want you."
"Are you crazy?!" Shocked by Yi Chenjing's words, Bai Qige's eyes widened, "This is in a camp, with 40,000 soldiers sleeping around. Do you want the morale of the soldiers to be chaotic before the battle?"
Although the general's camp is unguarded, the camps of the other lieutenants who join the army are not too far away. If there is any strange noise, it will definitely be heard in such a quiet night. Bai Qige does not want to be discovered because of such a thing.
Her true identity, and she didn’t want tens of thousands of soldiers to point fingers and make irresponsible remarks at her in the days to come. Besides...
She's not ready yet.
Even though Yi Chenjing's gentleness every night had relatively weakened the shadow of her terrible memories of that night, it was still too early for her to cater to his desires. Although her whole body was no longer stiff and trembling when he touched her, the psychological barrier
But it has not been completely eliminated. The tearing pain in the memory is too real, so real that it feels like I am still in the dark and helpless night, the moment when my dignity was ruthlessly trampled and crushed.
A little impulsive but still rational, Yi Chenjing propped herself up and stared at Bai Qige's face for a moment, then lay down with a helpless expression.
"It still doesn't work? What is it that makes you so resistant?"
Bai Qige didn't answer. She couldn't say this kind of thing. Maybe she was still a relatively conservative person in her heart.
Yi Chenjing messed up the quilt, and the cool air after the rain came in. It was so cold that Bai Qige sneezed. When she reached out to pull the quilt that had slipped under her body, he unexpectedly pulled her down and fell on her. She couldn't help but let out a low voice.
call.
"hiss--"
There was a low sound of gasping for cold air, and the two people in the tent froze instantly.
That sound was not from the two of them, but from outside, very close to the camp!
Yi Chenjing reacted quickly, took off her coat and put it on her body and rushed out of the tent quickly. However, she was a step too slow after all. It was deserted and desolate outside, and the night was deep. How could there be half a person there? I think that person also knew that he had accidentally been exposed.
Escape as soon as possible. The surroundings were densely packed with tents. It was extremely difficult to find an unknown person. Even Yi Chenjing, as the commander-in-chief, was helpless.
She frowned and returned to the tent. Bai Qige had already put on her clothes. Seeing his expression, she knew that the person who had been eavesdropped had successfully escaped. The two of them looked at each other for a long time, the expressions in their eyes becoming more and more solemn.
Thousands of miles away from the Royal Palace of Yaoguo, danger is still everywhere.
Behind the grass hut not far away, a pair of eyes stared at the general's tent. He didn't tiptoe away until the oil lamp in the tent came on again and then went out. The letter in his hand was soaked with cold sweat. The writing on it was a little blurry. If you didn't look carefully, it would be very clear.
It's hard to tell what is written.
In addition to the princes and concubines, Yi Chen Jing was killed, and he succeeded in protecting the emperor. He was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
