Under the city wall, Lin Ye was applying medicine and bandaging to the wounded soldiers. The soldiers came over and said, the princess is here.
Lin Ye looked up and saw in the distance, a woman in a goose-yellow dress, holding an oil-paper umbrella and standing there quietly.
Lin Ye quickly washed his hands and went over.
"Auntie."
Tuoba Yunxi hummed and asked him: "Are you free now?"
Lin Ye said: "Yes."
Tuoba Yunxi turned around: "Then come with me. I have a few words to say to you."
Lin Ye hummed and looked up at the gray sky. Fine rain stars fell on his face. There was so much spring rain here in Lone Bamboo.
Tuoba Yunxi tilted the umbrella towards him, and more than half of himself was exposed.
He reached out and took Tuoba Yunxi's umbrella. He held it for Tuoba Yunxi, leaving her under the umbrella and him in the rain.
"Yesterday I heard that you handed over the command of the garrison where the rebels are attacking mainly to Feng Xiu."
"Yes, indeed."
Tuoba Yunxi asked: "Then why is this so? You should know that your Majesty witnessed this battle with his own eyes."
Lin Ye said: "In a serious defensive battle, my command is not as good as Feng Xiu's. He can handle it well enough."
Tuoba Yunxi: "I'm just afraid..."
Lin Ye said: "Auntie is afraid, am I cultivating my own people? I want to take credit for Feng Xiu."
Tuoba Yunxi nodded slightly.
Lin Ye said: "Your Majesty has said one word to me many times... it is correct."
He said: "Feng Xiu's command on the city wall is more correct than my command on the city wall. If your majesty thinks that I am cultivating party members, then your majesty is wrong."
Tuoba Yunxi glanced at Lin Ye. What he said was still a bit childish, but for his age, he was indeed still a big kid.
Lin Ye said: "Auntie, don't be angry, Feng Xiu is indeed..."
Before he finished speaking, Tuoba Yunxi asked him: "Are you afraid that I will be angry?"
Lin Ye hummed.
Tuoba Yunxi smiled, and this smile seemed to make the gloomy weather brighter.
"I just came over casually to ask. I know you are no longer the kid you were in Yunzhou."
As she walked, she said, "I'd rather ask, aren't you curious?"
Lin Ye: "I'm curious, but I can't ask."
She didn't say what she was curious about, and Lin Ye didn't ask what he was curious about, but both of them seemed to know that each other would definitely understand.
If Tuoba Yunxi was Tuoba Lie's biological sister, then she shouldn't be living in the palace at this time.
Tuoba Lie is a traitor. That is a serious crime of treason and will implicate the nine clans.
Many civil and military officials in the dynasty came to Guzhu with the emperor, and many people have already submitted memorials, asking the emperor to deal with Tuoba Yunxi.
But the emperor's attitude towards these memorials was...turn a blind eye.
Ignore it and don't explain it.
"I'm curious myself."
Tuoba Yunxi suddenly said this.
This was beyond Lin Ye's expectation, because Lin Ye guessed that who didn't know, and my aunt herself should also know it very well.
Tuoba Yunxi raised her head and looked at the sky. The sky was blocked by her beautiful umbrella, so she could only see the beautiful side.
"Am I really?"
She whispered to herself again.
Lin Ye didn't know what to reply.
Tuoba Yunxi said: "I thought you would be more active."
Lin Ye said: "I don't dare to inquire about my aunt."
Tuoba Yunxi said: "I am referring to the counterinsurgency war."
Lin Ye said: "Well, there is really nothing that requires me to be active, because this battle, in the final analysis, is a matter between His Majesty and Tuoba Lie."
He said: "If nothing unexpected happens, the troops and horses mobilized by Your Majesty in advance will set off from Yunzhou soon. Yangzicheng only needs to hold on for one month. When the army arrives, Tuoba Lie will not dare to fight."
He looked back and said, "Your Majesty will give me some credit for this matter, but I won't get any credit for it, so it's boring."
Tuoba Yunxi nodded.
She thought that Lin Ye was very eager to kill Tuoba Lie.
"I will, but not now."
Lin Ye seemed to have guessed what his aunt was thinking, so he added.
"sorry."
He said.
Tuoba Yunxi turned her head to look at Lin Ye. She said nothing. After a moment, she raised her hand and wiped the rain off Lin Ye's face. Her hand was so gentle, but the temperature of her fingers was as cold as the rain.
She said: "Come closer, this umbrella is not that small."
Lin Ye did panic, but he still obeyed and got closer.
When you get closer, you can smell the unique aroma of my aunt. It's faint, but when you smell it, it seems to make your heart happy.
It can't be said to be pleasant, it's a feeling that... smelling it will make your blood become slightly agitated.
"You actually know that Tuoba Lie cannot completely lose in Guzhu."
"yes."
Lin Ye said: "Your Majesty hopes that Tuoba Lie will lose in Guzhu, but he does not want his entire army to be annihilated in Guzhu."
The emperor even hoped that Tuoba Lie would take the remaining soldiers and defeated the generals and run to Dongbo to try again.
If Tuoba Lie defeated Dongbo, there would be nothing left of his Beiye Army, and the victory would be a miserable one.
It would be best if Dongbo defeated Tuoba Lie. In that case, Dongbo's national power would be greatly damaged.
Tuoba Lie is a traitor and must be destroyed. Dongbo is disobedient and must be spanked.
Your Majesty does not want Dayu's elite to fight Tuoba Lie's Beiye Army, let the Dongbo people fight.
If Tuoba Lie wins, His Majesty will immediately mobilize troops and horses to clean up the Dongbo battlefield.
Tuoba Lie thought that he was the emperor's only opponent, but the emperor never had an opponent.
He doesn't need to use all his strength to attack anyone, and he even has to lower himself to a lower level to deal with it.
"if."
Tuoba Yunxi said: "You will be the commander in charge of attacking Dongbo in the future. How about you take me with you?"
Lin Ye was shocked when he heard these words, followed by sudden heartache.
Auntie, after all, I still want to see Tuoba Lie again. Even if the brother is fake and the love he has shown for more than ten years may be just an act, the process is real.
"good."
Lin Ye nodded.
Tuoba Yunxi smiled, but this time his smile was not as bright and bright as the smile just now.
She said: "The emperor is always right, that's why he hurts many people, because if a person has too much emotion, he often ignores right and wrong."
She looked at Lin Ye.
He said nothing more, but Lin Ye knew that his aunt was afraid that he would be as ruthless as the emperor.
"I'm going back, you should go back too."
Tuoba Yunxi walked directly out into the dense rain without taking the umbrella in Lin Ye's hand.
Lin Ye stood there and watched for a long time.
In the distance, Tuoba Yunxi boarded the carriage, but it was no longer the pink carriage, that carriage was in the past.
As if she mustered up the courage, Miss Xiaohe waved to Lin Ye from the side of the car, and Lin Ye nodded in greeting to her.
The carriage left the barracks, and the rain was outside the carriage, splashing a layer of water vapor, making the carriage seem like a painting between heaven and earth.
Lin Ye turned back and looked towards the city wall, the shouts of killing were still there.
That is not painted between heaven and earth, that is carved into heaven and earth, and will be remembered for a long time.
Tuoba Yunxi said that Lin Ye did not seem to be positive about this battle because Lin Ye knew that he had no chance to kill Tuoba Lie in this battle.
At this moment, another carriage suddenly came.
Before the car stopped, Zinai jumped off the carriage and ran towards Lin Ye.
Seeing her anxious look, Lin Ye quickly went over to pick her up.
After receiving Xiao Han first, the guy jumped up and gave Lin Ye a dog hug weighing more than 100 kilograms.
"He came here in such a hurry and didn't even hold an umbrella."
Lin Ye handed the umbrella to Zinai.
Zinai said: "Just now, my aunt came to see you and asked me if I wanted to come with you. I was thinking of going home to help you get some clothes, and then..."
She handed Lin Ye a cloth bag, which looked square and square, and seemed to contain a book.
"What's this?"
Lin Yewen.
Zinai said: "I was packing my things and saw this. Sister Ning must have secretly put it here for me, and she didn't tell me either."
Lin Ye opened the cloth bag. What was inside was not a book, but a notebook.
Ning Haitang’s practice notes.
After opening it, there was a short letter inside.
The letter said that she never wanted to owe anyone a favor, and that she owed Lin Ye a favor by winning the battle at Longzhangtai.
This notebook is her experience while practicing in Shangyang Palace and Yuxin Guan. Let Lin Ye take a closer look. It may be helpful to restore Dantian.
How many people are there in this world who have practiced both Shangyang Palace and Yuxin Kuan?
After Lin Ye and Zinai returned to Yangzi City, Zinai moved directly into the palace, so he didn't even pack much.
If she hadn't gone back to find clothes for Lin Ye today and tidied them up, she wouldn't have discovered this note.
"Sister Ning knows that you don't owe favors to others casually, right?"
Zinai said: "That's why she secretly put this thing into my box."
Lin Ye said: "It's not that I don't want to owe favors, it's that I already owe too much."
Zinai didn't know yet that the Chu brothers were dead, and Lin Ye didn't intend to tell her.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Zinai was keenly aware of the fleeting sadness in Lin Ye's eyes.
"It's okay, the war is too cruel."
Lin Ye raised his hand and rubbed Zinai's head: "If you have nothing to do, go back to the palace as quickly as possible. It's not fun here."
Zinai said: "I can also fight. I told you that I will be a general in the future. After meeting Sister Ning, I want to be a general even more."
Lin Yexiao: "Wait a little longer."
Zina pursed her lower lip: "How long do you have to wait?"
Lin Ye said: "I actually started to officially lead the army when I was sixteen. You must be sixteen too."
Zinai said: "What you said is that you are not allowed to go back on your word in the future. If you go back on your word, you are a dog."
Xiaohan was still hanging on Lin Ye. Hearing this, he turned around and looked at Zinai, with an expression on his face that said, "What's the matter with me?"
Lin Ye nodded: "Okay, if I regret it, I will be a dog."
Xiaohan looked at Lin Ye, and suddenly he felt a sense of intimacy, his eyes were kind, as if to say...silly boy, you are what you are.
"Go back quickly."
Lin Ye put Xiaohan down. Xiaohan looked up at Lin Ye and called out twice, meaning have you forgotten something?
It faced Lin Ye with its buttocks and barked back. Lin Ye gave it a kick on the butt, and it was satisfied.
Zinai and Xiaohan also went back. Before going back, Zinai stuffed the umbrella into Lin Ye's hand, then hugged his head and ran to the carriage.
"Brother, you are weak, don't get caught in the rain."
Lin Ye: "Compared with you, who is not weak?"
Xiaohan: woof woof!
Lin Ye: "Compared with her, you are a weak dog."
The horn sounded again outside the city, which sounded like the rebels had temporarily retreated.
They were just feigning attacks for the past two days, and they were just providing cover for those who were digging trenches.
Lin Ye turned around and walked towards the barracks. The rain was heavier than before.
