Tang Yin and Yin Rou walked out of the study. On the way, Tang Yin said tentatively: "Your Majesty seems not willing to meet the envoys of Sichuan."
Yin Rou said: "The envoy from Sichuan is here to recruit troops."
Tang Yin blinked in confusion and asked: "What conscription?"
Yin Rou said quietly: "Not long ago, Minister Wang Yi proposed to reorganize the legions directly under the capital. However, recruiting and training new soldiers from the capital would take too long and the cost would be too high, so he advocated drawing troops from various vassal states.
, In this way, it not only saves time, but also has various vassal states to support their own armies, without the need for the court to pay, killing two birds with one stone. However, Wang Yi's idea was opposed by various vassal states, and Sichuan State was the most strongly opposed princes.
One of the countries, the envoys from the Sichuan Kingdom must have come to see the emperor for this reason."
"Oh!" Tang Yin responded thoughtfully. The emperor's direct army could no longer afford to support it because of the lack of tribute from the princely states. The number of troops was getting smaller and smaller. In the end, only the tens of thousands of imperial guards were left.
Yes, it is a good idea to allocate troops from the vassal states. The vassal states send troops to raise the troops, but the command power is in the hands of the emperor. This undoubtedly weakens the rights of the vassal states and increases the power of the emperor. Can the vassal states agree?
How strange! He frowned and said, "Why have I never heard of this in Feng Country?"
"At that time, Zhong Tian was in rebellion in the Feng Kingdom, and the emperor's edict must have been sent to Zhong Tian." Yin Rou guessed.
This is possible! Tang Yin nodded and stopped asking further questions about this matter. If he became the Wind King, he would not be so stupid as to transfer his army to Shangjing, support it with his own money, and let others command it.
He didn't ask any questions, and Yin Rou didn't speak either. The two of them walked forward in silence. Perhaps Yin Rou was so distracted by her thoughts that she didn't pay attention to her steps, and happened to trip over a slightly tilted square brick.
, Yin Rou's body fell forward involuntarily.
"Princess, be careful!" Even though Tang Yin's spiritual energy had dissipated, his movements were still astonishingly fast. His figure was like lightning, and he rushed to Yin Rou's side with a quick step, reaching out to hug her.
The frightened Yin Rou took a moment to recover. Seeing herself leaning in Tang Yin's arms, her jade face turned red. At the same time, her mind naturally recalled that Tang Yin was as tight as he is now when she was in danger in Feng Country.
He hugged himself tightly to resist the numerous assassins.
His embrace always brings an indescribable sense of security to herself! Yin Rou thought to herself, and her pink cheeks turned redder.
Seeing such a shy and cute Yin Rou, Tang Yin had the urge to lower his head and kiss her, but his reason still restrained the impulse. This was the palace after all, and there were so many guards around him. He couldn't do anything to insult Yin Rou's reputation.
He held Yin Rou's body steady, and then reluctantly took back his arms.
"Are you leaving Beijing tomorrow?" Yin Rou asked to cover up her embarrassment.
"Yes." Tang Yin looked straight at Yin Rou. If she asked him to take her back to Feng Country now, he would definitely accept it without hesitation. No matter how many people stopped him, he wouldn't care.
But Yin Rou didn't say that. She just said softly and said nothing more, but a look of loneliness and sadness flashed across her face.
It didn't matter that he pretended to be strong, which made Tang Yin even more heartbroken. He raised his hand, wanting to embrace Yin Rou into his arms, but his hand stopped in mid-air and did not fall down after all.
"Let's go, I'll take you out of the palace." Yin Rouqing said calmly.
Tang Yin and Yin Rou walked out of the courtyard of the Emperor's study. Xiao Min immediately came forward to greet them. He first greeted Yin Rou and took out a spirit-gathering pill and handed it to Tang Yin. Then he looked at the two of them, feeling that they were both
The atmosphere among people is a bit weird.
After swallowing the Spirit Gathering Pill casually into his stomach, Tang Yin suddenly remembered something. He reached into his arms and took out a deerskin bag with a bulging inside. He handed it to Yin Rou and said, "I have wanted to give this to you for a long time.
is you."
"What is it?" Yin Rou took the leather bag curiously, pulled open the rope on it, opened the mouth of the bag, and poured out a green gem from the ground.
This gemstone must be about half the size of a palm. It is completely green and has no minor flaws inside or outside. Holding it in your hand, it feels cold and chilly, and a cool air rushes into your body. Even in the windless midsummer,
It can also make people feel the cool air, which is indescribably comfortable.
As a princess of the empire, Yin Rou has never seen any kind of treasure, but she has never seen such a strange and beautiful gem. Looking at it, she seemed to be looking into Tang Yin's eyes, and suddenly an indescribable strange feeling came into her heart.
.
Seeing Yin Rou holding the green crystal and being speechless for a long time, Tang Yin became nervous rarely. He frowned secretly and asked in a low voice: "Don't you like it, princess? Then... then just throw it away." As he spoke, he
He reached out and grabbed the gem in Yin Rou's hand.
He didn't catch the gem, but he caught Yin Rou's clenched fist. He looked at Yin Rou inexplicably, and to his great surprise, he saw Yin Roumei's dazzling smile. She said softly: "I
I like it very much. I will treasure this gem well."
"Ah!" When Tang Yin heard this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. It was rare to see Yin Rou smile so brightly, which made Tang Yin feel cherished. He was a little stunned, looking straight at Yin Rou, with his palm
He also held her hand for a long time without letting go.
It wasn't until Xiao Min couldn't stand it any longer and coughed heavily that Tang Yin came back to his senses. His old face suddenly turned red. He hurriedly stopped his hand, covered up his embarrassment with a dry smile, and said: "If the princess likes it, I will
I will look for opportunities to get some more.”
This green crystal was found in an underground cave when Tang Yin was practicing the Fire of Darkness last time. At that time, he didn't think it was a treasure. He just picked two pieces casually, one was given to Fan Min, and the other he kept.
They all stay with me until now.
"Such a treasure should be very valuable." Yin Rou smiled at Tang Yin and said, "I will be very satisfied if I have one."
It turns out that you are so easily satisfied... Tang Yin looked at Yin Rou with pity, and his heart tightened and sank. Maybe he didn't even notice it. The closer he got to Yin Rou, and the closer he came into contact with Yin Rou, he would also fall into it.
His love for Yin Rou deepened, and his love for Yin Rou went far beyond the scope of his reason.
Yin Rou put away the emerald gem very preciously, and then took off a brocade bag from her waist. She wanted to hand it to Tang Yin, but then she thought about it and changed her mind. She took a step forward, then bent down and handed it to Tang Yin with her own hands.
The kit was tied on Tang Yin's belt, and he said with a smile: "This is my return gift to you."
Not to mention Xiao Min was dumbfounded by her move, even the guards on both sides were stunned and their jaws almost dropped. The aloof princess actually tied the kit for others, which was far beyond their understanding.
.
Tang Yin also seemed a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly said: "I... I will do it myself!"
Yin Rou did not listen to him and continued to tie the brocade bag and said softly: "This is the amulet my father gave me when I was just born. I hope it can protect you from danger and live a long life."
Rou... Tang Yin didn't know how much willpower he used to suppress the urge to hold her in his arms. In this era, there were too many restrictions, and Tang Yin still had to abide by them. Looking at Yin who was so close at hand,
Rou, he could only recite her name silently in his heart, but he also secretly swore in his heart that sooner or later, he would own her openly and own everything about her!
After leaving the palace, it was already dark. Tang Yin did not delay on the way and hurried back to the inn in a restless mood.
There were no more accidents on the road this time. It seemed that after the dark spiritual cultivator failed to assassinate Tang Yin last time, he had restrained himself a lot and did not dare to continue to cause trouble for him.
Back at the inn, Tang Yin called over Lotte, Jiang Fan, and Jiang Lu, and explained that they would leave overnight tonight to return to Yancheng, but Jiang Lu and Tianyan's spies would continue to stay in Shangjing, firstly to manage relations, and secondly to observe Shangjing.
Case.
In fact, in Tang Yin's mind, the situation in Yancheng was not serious enough to require him to rush back all night, but he did not dare to stay in the capital anymore. He was afraid that he would suddenly be reluctant to leave and stay away from Yin Rou.
He has always been proud of his super self-control, but in front of Yin Rou, he no longer has any confidence in his self-control.
When he came to Beijing, Tang Yin brought Letian and Jiang Fan with him. When he left, he also took Letian and Jiang Fan with him.
Not understanding why Tang Yin suddenly left in such a hurry, Letian and Jiang Fan didn't dare to ask any more questions. They picked up their prepared luggage and followed Tang Yin out of the inn. They quickly whipped their horses and headed straight back.
Tang Yin rushed out of Shangjing in one breath, and then entered Anguo without stopping. Letian and Jiang Fan tried their best to keep up with Tang Yin, until they entered the territory of Anguo for more than a hundred miles, and the sky was already turning white. Tang Yin's horse
The speed is gradually slowing down.
At this time, Letian and Jiang Fan finally caught up with Tang Yin and finally found a chance to speak. The two were panting. Letian swallowed and said, "Sir, let's take a rest first, otherwise the man can bear it and the horse can bear it.
No way!"
Tang Yin wiped the sweat from his face and looked down. The horse he had stepped off was already trembling with tired hooves. He was afraid that if he continued to run, he would foam at the mouth and die from exhaustion. He nodded and said: "Okay.
Well, let’s rest here for a while before leaving.”
After the three people dismounted, they all felt pain in their buttocks, numbness all over their bodies, and all the bones in their bodies seemed to be falling apart.
Tang Yin let the horses go to graze, while he sat on the ground, leaned back, looked at the stars in the sky, and said, "Lotte, Jiang Fan!"
"grown ups?"
Letian and Jiang Fan quickly stepped forward and looked at him in confusion.
Tang Yin narrowed his eyes, as if talking to himself or to the two of them, and said: "After I become the King of Feng, I will definitely marry her. Apart from her, there will be no other queen of the Feng Kingdom."
