A huge group of people stopped at the door of the City Lord's Mansion. Ling Jiyun got off his horse and walked through the corridor to the study.
At this time, he was sitting in his seat, listening to the report.
"Sir, General Yao from Aoran City sent a letter yesterday, explaining why Dai City could not be captured for a long time." Wang Yang, the right general, clasped his hands and reported respectfully.
"What's the reason?" Ling Jiyun picked up the tea and took a sip.
"The information obtained by General Yao is the same as that investigated by his subordinates. Li Zeming, the lord of Dai City, was a military general. He was extremely shrewd and brave. When the late emperor was still alive, he defeated the half-million elite soldiers of the Tianping Kingdom with a force of 100,000.
, was appreciated by the late emperor, who gave him the position of Lord of Dai City. He was grateful for the late emperor's appreciation and swore that the city would be as long as the people were alive, but the city would be destroyed and the people would be destroyed."
The tea cup instantly overturned on the table, the lid fell to the ground and shattered. The tea overflowed the edge of the table, like broken pearls hitting the ground bit by bit, with water splashing everywhere. "He is quite loyal.
"One stood up, walked to the table and said, "Go and find out how many troops Dai Cheng has left?"
"As ordered, I will go and investigate immediately." Wang Yang exited the study.
General Feng Tianlai from the left stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, the Lord of the Yuxi Kingdom sent an envoy this morning, saying that he is willing to send 200,000 troops to help our army attack Aoran City."
"Huh." Leng Yin turned around and said, "He knows what's going on."
…
A light rain fell in the night sky, and a light mist surrounded the beams of the house. The halo of the lanterns on the pillars dimmed, making me feel unexpectedly melancholy.
Gently push the window leaf, let Xiaoyu knock on the window shuttle, the water droplets fall to the ground, making a tinkling sound, composing a song of distant thoughts.
A slight voice came from behind, and she closed her eyes slightly. Lian Ruoyi put down her hands to cook the supper and called: "Master, you are hungry, come and have something to eat."
Ling Jiyun said without looking back: "Let it go, it's late at night, go back and rest." He always suppressed his anger because he owed her a life in this life.
The smile disappeared from her beautiful face, mist appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she said with a cry: "Yun, do you have to treat me like this? What did I do wrong? Tell me, and I will definitely change."
"Go back." As soon as the words fell out, a pair of slender jade hands were wrapped around his waist.
She leaned against him tightly, tears streaming down her face, "Please, don't do this to me, I'm heartbroken."
When she was heartbroken, she could still rely on herself like this; when Gardenia was heartbroken, she endured loneliness alone. He seemed to see Gardenia trembling, weak and helpless in front of Wang Nong's tomb a year ago.
Feeling a throbbing pain in my heart, I pushed Lian Ruoyi away, walked aside, picked up the book on the table, pretended to look at her and said, "It's time for you to go back."
Lian Ruoyi rushed out of the door sadly, and a fragrance drifted through the room. Ling Jiyun put down the book, clenched his fists, and his sharp eyes were filled with sadness.
In the Lost Forest, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. Ever since Yao Wang saw Ling Jiyun that day, he had been thinking a lot about whether he should tell Gardenia.
Sitting in front of the grave of Hua Xuzi and his wife, he drank wine alone and said, "Apprentice, it's a pity that you died like this, leaving Gardenia as a little girl to live alone in the world. Now I have encountered a huge problem. What do you think I am?
Should she tell her that her enemy is here? Even though he can't enter the Lost Forest, waiting like that is not an option."
He raised his neck and realized that there was no wine in the wine gourd. He stood up, patted his butt and said, "It's God's will."
Seeing the smoke from the kitchen not far away, King Yao started walking towards the yard through the little halo of leaves.
Gardenia took out the last plate of food and put it on the table, shouting out: "Master, we are back for lunch."
"Back." King Yao responded with a long voice, making Gardenia burst into laughter.
Cai'er flew to and stopped on Yao Wang's shoulder, rising and falling along with Yao Wang's jumps.
I washed my hands and sat at the dining table. Looking at the delicacies on the table, my mouth was almost watering. I quickly picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into my mouth. I stretched out my big finger and said, "Gardenia, the more cooked your food is, the better it will be."
have eaten."
"It's delicious, Master, please eat more. Gardenia won't compete with you." Gardenia said with a smile as she handed over a bowl of rice.
Medicine King wolfed down his food like a child. Gardenia saw it and couldn't help but laugh bitterly. No wonder her father and uncle wanted to invent laughing soup to punish him. They must have suffered enough from such a live treasure master.
Halfway through the meal, King Yao put the wine gourd on his waist on the table and said, "My wine is gone. Go to Liangji Liquor in the city and help me bring back a gourd of wine."
Seeing the chopsticks stop on the bowl for a moment, she actually reacted. Yaowang pretended to be unintentional and continued to eat, waiting for Gardenia's reply.
