My companion is a bit fierce

The golden bird sinks to the west, the north wind blows to the south, and the steed stands upright, dragging a long black shadow under the setting sun.

The last Hun cavalry finally fell.

The setting sun was dying, and the wind was whistling and neighing, bringing out bursts of fishy smell.

"We won! Your Highness!" Meng Wenbin couldn't control his trembling hands, and circled around Rong Jue excitedly.

Uda has run away and disappeared, the most elite cavalry is gone, and his vitality is seriously injured. The Xiongnu dare not attack Mobei anymore.

Rong Jue drove the horse to Rong Xu's side, seeing that his expression was tired but his eyes were still bright, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Why did you come here?" Rong Xu straightened his helmet for him, "You are not allowed to leave your post without authorization in the army. You are a first-time offender, and we just won, so we won't pursue it for now."

Rong Jue nodded, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Yes, father!"

Meng Liren turned his head and glanced at Rong Jue: "Wuda retreated really fast, even the cavalry was gone."

"Don't chase after the poor, it's time for spring plowing, and everyone can farm with peace of mind." Rong Xu moved his sore shoulders, "Rectify the three armies and order them to withdraw!"

Meng Liren nodded, and the vast desert grassland burst into cheers, winning really fast.

This year is another good year.

The news of Mobei's victory spread to Dingjing very quickly, and Dingjing, which had been silent for a long time, seemed to be alive again, and began to be lively again.

Emperor Tongxi received the express and praised Mo Bei in the court hall, and all the officials followed suit when they saw the wind, and Rong Wang was unparalleled in bravery, and Rong Wang's son was not inferior to his father.

Not inferior to his father?Rong Wangshizi?

Emperor Tongxi withdrew his smile, flattened the corners of his mouth and suppressed his temper.

With Mobei's victory, he no longer has to borrow the food and supplies that will never return, but he still has to worry about what Rong Xu will do next.

After the court, Emperor Xi returned to the imperial study room without saying a word all the way to continue to deal with the backlog of memorials.

After staring at Rong Xu's bulletin for a long time, Emperor Tong Xi finally said, "Prince Xuan."

Qi Lan came over soon.Emperor Tongxi sat on the top, watched him respectfully salute and then answered respectfully.

Being impartial and well-founded, Qi Lan, the crown prince, did a really good job.

"I heard that you received the pigeons from Mobei a few days ago?" Emperor Tongxi closed his eyes to suppress the fatigue inside, and when he opened them again, they were already full of light.

Qi Lan stood below, and he was not in a hurry when he heard the words, and he replied in a calm and unhurried manner: "It belongs to Prince Rong, and I told my son about Mobei's experience, and I am safe. If my father wants to see it, my son can go Fetched."

"No need."

Knowing that Qi Lan is not lying, Emperor Tong Xi is not interested in this letter, and Rong Jue and Qi Lan are friends, so a letter is nothing.

Qi Lan lowered his head and said slowly: "With Mobei's victory, the people at the border can also live a good life. All this is thanks to the father."

Emperor Tong Xi liked to hear this, although it was a bit unexpected, but it was really convincing when it came out of Qi Lan's mouth.

"It makes sense." Emperor Tong Xi's mood calmed down a lot, "It's really hard work for King Rong to lead the army in battle. This time, King Rong's son escorted grain and grass to Yunguan, and he also participated in the battle and made meritorious service..."

Qi Lan nodded in response, expressing his acquiescence.

"Has he told you about this?" Emperor Tong Xi asked.

"I've said it." In fact, Rong Jue's letter mainly contained the word "safety", and the rest was just nonsense.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and in Qi Lan's eyes, Rong Jue is good even if he talks nonsense.

Unfortunately not.

"He told you that he would also go forward?"

Qi Lan paused and shook his head: "No."

That was a veritable letter of peace.

Emperor Tongxi half-opened and half-closed his eyes, and was silent for a while: "Although this battle was won, the rewards for the soldiers have not yet been determined, so it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate. What is the crown prince's opinion on the matter of rewards?"

Award?

Qi Lan, who was still happy for Rong Jue, suddenly broke out in cold sweat on the back of his neck.

There is no seal for the Rong family father and son. As for rewards, what should be rewarded to be worthy of their military achievements?

Emperor Tongxi has always been quite jealous of Mobei. In the previous small battles, Mobei sent messages, he just looked at it as if he didn't know it, and if Rong Xu didn't ask for it, naturally there would be no rewards.

Rong Xu didn't care about these things, so the two parties naturally lived in peace.

But this time, it's different.Whenever the Huns really want to enter Mobei, they must start from Yunguan.What's more, the battle of Yunguan was introduced in a hurry by Rong Xu when he was in Beijing. At that time, Rong Xu was still arguing with Emperor Tongxi about food and grass.

Emperor Tong Xi's eyes were sharp, and he refused to miss a single bit of Qi Lan's reaction.

"In this battle, Prince Rong and his son are the first." Qi Lan took a deep breath and stabilized his voice, "Of course they should be rewarded."

Not sealed, but rewarded.

"Rong Wang loves the people like a son, and cares about the people. This time, Mobei has spent a lot of money preparing for the war. I think the next spring plowing must be somewhat lacking..."

In any war, there will be casualties, Qi Lan is right, but Emperor Tong Xi doesn't want to help anymore.

Just kidding, what if a wolf is raised? !

He hadn't forgotten that the words Rong Xu threw to him before he left, he almost pointed at his head and said he was short-sighted and stupid.

Not wanting to hear Qi Lan say good things to Mobei again, Emperor Tong Xi waved him to stop: "There is nothing in front of King Rong's palace, and the son of King Rong did not say goodbye before leaving, so he left Beijing for no reason. But it is understandable because the matter is urgent. When the Northern War is over, let him come back."

Qi Lan stopped talking.It is true that he was happy when Rong Jue came back, but it shouldn't be like this!

This time it was really a hostage, Emperor Tong Xi would not let him mess around in Dingjing again!

Taking a deep breath secretly, Qi Lan replied calmly: "Mobei has just won, and I think it will take a while to rectify, the son of Rong Wang is also going up to practice this time—"

Emperor Tongxi didn't want to listen to Qi Lan's words any more. The son's heart was already off, and his voice was cold: "Why not go back to Beijing after the experience?"

It seems that Emperor Tongxi has made up his mind and will not change it.

Don't say whether it's good or bad, Qi Lan saluted: "My minister is still inexperienced, and I'm afraid it would be unfair to speak casually. Father might as well wait until tomorrow to bring it up in the court. Hundreds of officials work together, and I think it's better than my minister."

Emperor Tong Xi's heart felt tight for a while, it was obviously Qi Lan's self-effacing words, but it was extremely harsh to his ears, his tone was light and light, as if he was stabbing him secretly.

"Back off, I still have things to do."

After asking the palace servants to send Qi Lan away, he sat quietly with Emperor Xi for a long time.

The chest was still unbearably tight.

"Ouch—" He couldn't hold it any longer, a fishy sweetness oozed out of his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"Your Majesty!" The surrounding palace people panicked.

Emperor Tongxi was in a trance, but he still remembered to order: "Don't call the imperial doctor, and besides, Xuan... Xuan... Forget it."

No one dared to persuade Emperor Tongxi, so they could only take care of him in silence.

"Your Majesty." Yuan De was very anxious, "I can't delay any longer, I'd better invite the imperial doctor to take a look, and this servant will quietly find one for you."

Naturally, the imperial doctor would not say anything.

Emperor Tongxi didn't want to call the imperial doctor to take his pulse, but he didn't want to admit that he couldn't do it anymore.

At about the same age, Rong Xu was able to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy bravely, but he could only lie on the bed and cough up blood.

The gap was too great for Emperor Tongxi to accept.

Obviously he is the emperor!

After sitting for an unknown amount of time, Emperor Tongxi finally came to his senses, staring blankly into the distance, and a group of birds flew past, heading north.

Are you flying to Mobei?

Even they think this place is not good, are you going to Mobei?

"Mobei...can't let it go any longer..."

Yuan De noticed that Emperor Tongxi's lips were moving, but he didn't hear the sound. Just as he was about to lean over to hear clearly, he was startled by Emperor Tongxi who suddenly stood up.

"His Majesty!"

"You don't need to help me, I can walk by myself." After waving all the palace people back, Emperor Tong Xi picked up his pen and began to process the memorial.

As if nothing happened.

===

"This is Ah Jue's letter." Li Hongbao held the letter that Rong Jue gave him, read it twice, and waved it excitedly, "That's great! Ah Jue said he was about to win and he really won!"

Wang Mingda couldn't understand his snarky appearance, so he sneered disdainfully.

He looked at Qi Lan, and just as he was about to talk to him, he realized that Qi Lan didn't seem very interested.Shouldn't it be, shouldn't Qi Lan be happy about Rong Jue's letter?

"Your Highness doesn't seem to be in a good mood?"

"It's okay." Qi Lan forced a smile, suppressing the bitterness in his heart, "Ah Jue is going back to Beijing."

"Ah Jue is going back to Beijing?! Ah! I'm so happy to see Ah Jue again!" Li Hongbao didn't think much of it, and cheered happily when he heard that Rong Jue was coming back.

There is nothing wrong with Rong Jue returning to Beijing to accept the reward, but Qi Lan's expression does not mean this matter.Wang Mingda's heart skipped a beat, and he yelled at Li Hongbao: "Be quiet! It's so noisy!"

"How does Prince Rong plan to return to Beijing?" Wang Mingda asked softly.

"How did he come here in the first place, and how he comes now."

"What!" Wang Mingda couldn't sit still.

"That's it." Qi Lan was restless and didn't want to say more. Emperor Tong Xi had already made a decision, and he might not change it no matter what.

"King Rong won't agree!"

After making meritorious service, he still has to go to Beijing as a hostage. It would be a ghost if Rong Xu agreed!

Qi Lan pursed her lips, and just about to say something, she thought of Emperor Tong Xi's irresistible expression: "Who knows what King Rong will do... His Majesty said that he left Beijing for no reason..."

"..." Wang Mingda was speechless, their majesty is really talented, and he can think of such a shameless reason.

If he really uses this reason to pressure Rong Jue to go to Beijing, if Rong Xu doesn't explode, then he really has a good temper!

Using this reason to return to Beijing, Rong Jue may really live a proton life.

Wang Mingda understood Qi Lan's concerns, and just as he was about to comfort him with a few words, he saw his eyes fixed on the letter in Li Hongbao's hand.

"what happened?"

"Why are there so many words in Li Hongbao's letter?"

"What?" Wang Mingda didn't know why, and didn't know what Qi Lan was fussing about.

Rong Jue didn't write him a single letter.

"Oh, I forgot," Li Hongbao leaned over and said loudly, "Ah Jue said that the letter paper is not enough, so I will send you a letter here, saying that he is all right, and that you should not miss him too much."

Wang Mingda yelled, jumping up as if his feet were on fire: "Who wants to miss him?!"

"Here, here." Persevering, Li Hongbao spread out the letter paper, pointed to a line of small characters, and read out each word, "'Be safe and don't read it'."

Wang Mingda: "..." Rong Jue, you are such an idiot, you really save pen and ink!

Qi Lan narrowed his eyes and quickly read the letter paper, thinking of his own, you little bastard!When you come back, you must clean him up!
