Chapter 269 See You Again

"Every day is the same." Li Zhaonian said weakly, "I don't know how long this day will last."

Li Jifeng was silent for a moment, "The war in Beilin has ended. Beirong has lost its future king. I believe that in the next ten years, no one in Beirong will dare to climb that mountain again."

"Without Huyantuo, there will be other tribes." Li Zhaonian said slowly: "The war will not stop because people are greedy by nature."

Li Jifeng felt the deep disappointment in Li Zhaonian's heart from his words.

Everyone had designs on him, and everyone rebelled against him. In the end, only Li Jifeng, his younger brother who was not close to him before, was left.

"Isn't the court peaceful today?" Li Zhaonian asked.

Li Zhaonian lingered on the bed, and he only had a few waking hours every day. He only went to court a few days ago. On weekdays, Li Jifeng was in charge of the country as the emperor's younger brother.

Li Jifeng said: "The emperor's imperial edict to establish the emperor's younger brother has pushed me to the forefront. The Jiang family has done a lot of tricks behind my back."

The Chu family poisoned and murdered her, but Li Zhaonian could not provide any evidence.

The Chu family poisoned Li Zhaonian in order to promote his infant Li Zhaonian's legitimate son to the throne, but they never imagined that an edict issued by Li Zhaonian after he woke up completely shattered their plan.

They won't stop there. The best way is for Li Jifeng to die. Li Jifeng has been assassinated several times in these days. The most dangerous one was when the assassin almost put a knife on his neck. If it weren't for his kung fu, maybe Jiang would have been killed. It worked.

"Ge is old." Li Zhaonian said, "Fortunately Jiang Ji stepped forward and stabilized the situation."

Li Jifeng feared for his robe, "Jiang Ji has some tricks, but his influence in the court is far less than that of Jiang Ge Lao, and he is still struggling now."

Li Zhaonian pressed his forehead in pain and said, "It's too chaotic. This world is too chaotic."

"If you take a look at all the history books from the last years of the past dynasties, you won't feel confused. The history books have been beautified." Li Jifeng said.

Li Zhaonian stared at the closed window for a moment, then suddenly said: "Open the window and let me take a look at this snow. I may not be able to see the next one."

He is an emperor, but he acts so cowardly.

Whenever he wanted to open the window, the eunuchs and maids would kneel on the ground and say that the imperial doctor said that His Majesty could not see the wind, kowtow and shout for mercy.

He didn't want their lives, he just wanted to see a snowfall, but it was so difficult.

Li Jifeng paused for a moment, then stood up to open the window.

There was heavy snow falling outside the window, and Li Zhaonian poked his head, still unable to see the distant palace wall. Perhaps he could only fly away from this place if he died.

A cold wind blew in.

Li Zhaonian covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed a few times. Li Jifeng immediately reached out to close the window.

"Brother, take care of yourself."

"Yes." Li Zhaonian looked away, "I still want to see her again."

"Who does the emperor want to see?" Li Jifeng didn't respond for a moment, "Just let someone pass it on."

When he finished speaking, he didn't hear Li Zhaonian's answer. When he turned around, he saw that Li Zhaonian had closed his eyes.

…

Xie Tingzhou's lethargy lasted for a day, and they had not left Shuozhou when he woke up.

Last night I heard that the official road ahead had collapsed and it was difficult to move forward. The Yamen was already undergoing emergency repairs, so the team had to stop on the road and find a post station to temporarily settle down.

Shuozhou is close to Beilin. It was Beilin's help in the disasters and banditry in the past few years. The prefect was extremely grateful to him, so the army passed through Shuozhou without any obstruction.

Chang Heng knelt in the corridor, crying with snot and tears.

It took a long time for Doctor Yu to come out and whispered: "Your Majesty, let you in."

Chang Heng nodded, "Then I, then I will tell the truth."

"What else can I do if I don't tell the truth?" Doctor Yu said: "Your Majesty is more sensitive than ordinary people. If you can't hide it, don't hide it."

Chang Heng stood up and walked in, then knelt in the room and said, "Your Majesty."

The conditions of the inn were not very good, and the charcoal stoves were moved in by Konei Lin himself.

Xie Tingzhou didn't speak for a long time, lying half on the bed, holding Mrs. Tang in his hand, the veins on the back of his cold white hands were obvious.

"Say it."

"Yes." Chang Heng wiped his face, "But the prince must not be angry. Regarding the battle at Yanliang Pass, I did not lie in the previous part. The princess won the battle during the counterattack. However, the princess pursued the deserters into the west. Within the territory.”

Xie Tingzhou closed his eyes.

When he woke up yesterday, he was not conscious yet. When he heard that Shen Yu was fine, he went to sleep peacefully.

But when I woke up again and recalled Chang Heng's words, I could easily analyze what was wrong.

Chang Heng refused to admit it when he was called before. Xie Tingzhou was so anxious that he almost pushed him over.

"How many days ago did she chase the remaining soldiers?" Xie Tingzhou asked.

"Judging from the urgent delivery received, it has been..." Chang Heng was a little afraid to look at Xie Tingzhou's face, "It has been more than ten days."

Chang Heng immediately added: "Now that the official road is blocked, maybe the princess has returned to Yanliang Pass, but the urgent delivery cannot come in. Besides, the old prince has already led the troops, so the princess will be fine."

After saying that, he started crying again, "Your Majesty, please punish me, any punishment is fine. I lied because I was afraid that Your Majesty would be anxious."

Xie Tingzhou was bored and speechless, and waved his hand, "Get up."

"I can't afford it," Chang Heng said.

"You want me to help you?"

Chang Heng stood up suddenly, wanting to make up for his mistake, "Your Majesty, I'll send someone to see how the official tunnel is being dug."

…

A head count is taking place in the camp.

Shen Yu and Xiao Chuan attacked from front to back and dispersed the Xijue pursuers. They were furious at being beaten in the city.

The Western Jue suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining remnants fled everywhere. Shen Yu did not let them chase him, but led his men to attack the enemy directly and took over the Cha Risong camp where the Western Jue camped.

There was a lot of noise outside the tent.

Xiao Chuan sniffed, "Why does the Western Jue territory smell so strong? It's so unpleasant."

Shen Yu asked, "Is it worse than the military tent in summer?"

"That's not the case." Xiao Chuan took a sip of hot milk from the bowl, and immediately spit it out, "Pah, why is this thing so smelly? My God, is it broken? Why do the Western Jue people like to drink this thing?"

Shen Yu took the bowl and smelled it, but she was not used to the smell, so she put the bowl aside.

This time they defeated the elite and occupied the Xijue camp, which made Xiao Chuan very excited, "Let's use their Xijue food to feed our soldiers and horses, and make Boda angry to death."

"No." Shen Yu said, "Let's rest here for a day and set off tomorrow."

"Why?" Xiao Chuan was stunned, "We finally took down the camp, and we're going to give it back like this?"

Shen Yu said, "I've inspected their camp before. The Great Zhou looked down on the barren land of Xijue, so they never thought that anyone would set foot in the hinterland of Xijue. It's useless to take down this camp. The defense is not good. We can't stay here for long, otherwise if Boda brings troops here, we will be very passive."
