A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. The hibiscus tent warms the spring night, and the beauty is beside him with the fragrance of soft jade. There is no need to mention Lin Chong's spring breeze that night.
Until she woke up the next morning, Lin Chong was still covered in fog. She couldn't believe what happened last night. Until she saw Yuan Qingfang still huddled in a small ball under the quilt, maybe she was really tired yesterday. Based on her usual
She was so alert that she didn't wake up even when he was so close.
Lin Chong climbed up lightly and kissed her forehead gently, giggling to himself for a while. Then he thought that after all this tossing, Qingfang must be tired now, and he had to make her something delicious to replenish her body.
One supplement.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, put on his clothes and went directly to the royal kitchen. Before leaving, he whispered to the young eunuch not to disturb her and let her have a good rest.
Unexpectedly, just as Lin Chong left, Yuan Qingfang's long eyelashes fluttered a few times and she opened her eyes. She gently touched the spot on her forehead that Lin Chong cherished and kissed with her hand, and smiled softly: "I still
There are some things that I have to do, but I am no longer the same as I was before, and I will definitely try to survive, for you and for our future."
She quickly put on her clothes, but when she was leaving, she was stopped by the little eunuch at the door: "Girl, Your Majesty said that your servants should take good care of you."
Without Lin Chong around, Yuan Qingfang was still the arrogant and indifferent killer: "Oh? Did he ever say that he wanted you to restrict my actions?"
The little eunuch thought for a while: "That's not the case."
"In this case, I want to leave now, so you shouldn't stand in my way. When His Majesty Lin comes back, remember to tell him to take good care of himself." After saying that, Yuan Qingfang pointed a little to the little eunuch.
I only heard the sound of breaking wind. I turned to look at the person, but there was no trace of them.
When Lin Chong came back with the cooked porridge and hot soup, he saw the scene of an empty building. At that time, he just wanted to drag out the little eunuch who was looking at Yuan Qingfang and kill him with a cane.
In fact, even though he knew in his heart that she had to leave eventually, and he could not trap her with this deep palace, after all, they had just expressed their feelings to each other the day before, and they were separated so soon after a night of tenderness. Thinking of the next time they would see each other, Lin Chong thought.
I felt completely hopeless and terribly uncomfortable.
If the Minister of War had not entered the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, he would have almost forgotten that this was the fourth day after the Shangyuan Festival, the day he had agreed with Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng to close the net.
If this battle can succeed, the Qing army will definitely be severely weakened and will not have the strength to do it again in the next few years. He will then be able to make up his mind to deal with the chaos in the country.
After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, Lin Chong soon returned to the emperor he used to be, who was always calm and well-informed. "Master Zhang, how is the situation?"
Zhang Guowei hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty's good plan has achieved results. As expected, Dorgon refused to believe Li Zicheng's overtures, but threw an olive branch to Wu Sangui. Now Wu Sangui has pretended to cooperate with him. It is not yet known what the situation will be today, but
According to the battle reports from the past few days, there should be no major mistakes."
Lin Chong nodded: "Now that the matter has come to this, we can only rely on the two generals' adaptability on the battlefield. Outside, you will not be affected by your fate. I believe that both of them are resourceful people who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they will definitely come up with something.
Strategies to deal with various situations. If we can succeed this time, I don’t know how many people will not have to die on the battlefield and can come back safely. The common people will be spared the pain of years of war, and the soldiers will be able to go home and reunite with their relatives."
Zhang Guowei sincerely sighed: "Your Majesty is truly a wise and benevolent king. God bless me for the bright future."
Lin Chong smiled, and when he turned his head, he whispered to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Is it right or wrong to go against the will of heaven? Luck is really something that only depends on one person.
Can it be twisted with just force?"
Zhang Guowei didn't know what His Majesty was mumbling to himself, but at this moment he trusted the emperor wholeheartedly. No matter what the other party said, he must have thought it made sense.
Outside Shanhaiguan, Jierhalang clutched the hilt of his sword tightly.
A day and a night have passed. If the plan is really going well, the news of the successful entry should be transmitted by this time. If the battle is defeated, then we should find a way to withdraw at this moment. In any case, there should not be no news at all like now.
Not wanting to be suspected by Dorgon any longer, Jierhalang only took Legie and a Black Eagle guard with him on this trip.
The Black Hawk Guards are all very skilled at lightness. Regardless of whether they win or lose, he should have the news first.
An ominous premonition surged in Jilharang's heart. If there was still no news after tonight, then Dorgon and the 80,000 soldiers he led might be in danger.
"Legi, go find Naha. I have something to discuss with him."
Leji also knew that his master was worried at the moment, fearing that something big was going to happen, so he did not dare to delay for a moment, found Nahajiu and hurriedly took him to Jierhalang's tent.
"Your prince has other ways to enter the customs, right?"
Naha crossed his arms and looked at him leisurely: "The prince has made up his mind to cooperate with my prince?"
Ji'erharang's face was gloomy, but for a moment he regained his usual gentle smile: "The mighty Ming Dynasty Prince has become a small deputy general with no real power in our army. I really wronged you."
Naha didn't seem to expect that he would suddenly say such a sentence, and she remembered that a few days ago, he had used a few meaningless words over and over again to defraud him of a lot of information, and he did not reply to his words at the moment.
Jierhalang waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm not deceiving you now. I know that King Zhou has a twin brother, so now you leave your brother in the Central Plains, right?"
Naha laughed and said, "Your Majesty knows a lot. He can even find out that we are twin brothers. But you are wrong. The one who stayed in the Central Plains is my brother, King Zhou."
Jilharang shook his head: "You can't change your demeanor and habits when you speak. If you hadn't been in a high position for a long time, you wouldn't have such habits. Besides, you know that you will have a narrow escape when you come here, how can you bear to let your brother do it?
Are you in danger? But to be honest, it doesn't matter to me who your brothers are standing in front of me now. What I want to know is very simple. Do you know any other ways to enter the border? "
King Zhou spread his hands: "Of course there is no other way. After so many years, if there were other shortcuts to directly enter the pass, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty have been unable to protect it long ago? The only way to enter the pass is to break the city
