They all say I'm a tyrant

The sky had gradually darkened, and the autumn rain outside the window was still pattering non-stop. Standing by the window and listening to the sound of the rain, Lin Ce seemed to be able to feel the howling cold wind outside through the window.He turned around and glanced at Ruantang, You Yan was still in a deep sleep.I don't know if it was because I didn't sleep well last night, because I just caught a cold in the rain, or because I was hurt by the news I just got. After taking a bath, I just rested on the soft bed for a while, waiting for Lin Ce to put down the memorial in his hand and think about it. When talking with him, he realized that he had fallen asleep.

Lin Ce stood by the window for a while, then returned to the front of the collapse, tucked the blanket for You Yan, then sat down slowly on the ground, staring at You Yan's face intently.In fact, Lin Ce has never understood why You Yan always praises his appearance so naturally, but in Lin Ce's mind, You Yan is actually the one who is more outstanding in appearance.

Maybe it's because he has so many outstanding features, so he doesn't care so much about his appearance.

Lin Ce leaned down and leaned over to place a light kiss on You Yan's forehead, and then let out a silent sigh.He just cut off You Yan's words, but he knew that if it was something You Yan had already decided, even he couldn't change it.Although You Yan has been willing to give in for him in many things over the years, You Yan is always You Yan, and he is the most sober and independent person Lin Ce has ever met.

Although You Yan also proposed to go to the Southwest before, but after all, Tao Jiang was still there at that time, and the situation in the Southwest might not necessarily depend on You Yan, so You Yan chose to back down.But now, unexpected events happened, Tao Jiang died in battle under the great situation, and someone has to clean up the mess in the Southwest. More importantly, the cause of Tao Jiang's death is full of doubts. According to You Yan's character, he must do it himself. clear.

But this time Lin Ce had no reason to stop him.

Lin Ce raised his hand to cover his face, and he remembered that when You Yan left him to go to the northwest, he swore in his heart that he would never let such a thing happen again, he would secure the throne, he would become Strong, no longer bullied by anyone, and will protect the ones he loves.

But I didn't expect that after four years, such a thing would still happen once.

He spent nearly half a year with You Yan day and night, and he began to learn to be less anxious, and began to cherish every moment he spent with You Yan. He was no longer full of fear of the future, and no longer worried about gains and losses.And now, they have to face separation again.

It's not that Lin Ce can't accept the brief separation, but he doesn't think it's because of this reason, because You Yan is going to the battlefield again, and he has to experience the fear four years ago again.

"Huaicheng," one hand grabbed Lin Ce's fingers, and took his palm away from his face. Lin Ce raised his head, and looked at You Yan's slightly red eyes, "Are you awake?"

"Why are you sitting here?" You Yan moved in to make room for Lin Ce, "Come up and lie down with me for a while."

Lin Ce lay down next to You Yan, and You Yan evenly spread the thin blanket on Lin Ce's body, then turned sideways and put his arms around his waist: "How long have you been sitting on the ground? Do you have something on your mind?"

"No," Lin Ce patted his back lightly, and touched his forehead, "It's a little hot on the forehead, but I still have a cold, or call the imperial doctor over."

You Yan interrupted him: "I know you are worried," he raised his head and looked into Lin Ce's eyes, "You don't want me to go to the southwest, you are afraid that the battle there will be critical, and if I go, it will be like four Like it was years ago, now there is no Tao Jiang who swears to protect me to the death, maybe it is worse than four years ago. But you also understand that I have to go this time, the situation in the Southwest needs to be resolved quickly, Fan Kingdom must be destroyed, Otherwise, there will be endless troubles, and more importantly, I will give Tao Jiang an explanation."

Lin Ce didn't answer, but hugged You Yan's shoulder forcefully.

"I know I'm not omnipotent, but this time I promise you, I won't be injured at all. Four years ago in the Northwest, it was because we were at a disadvantage in terms of military strength and national strength, but it's different now , the situation in the Southwest, even if we lose the battle now, the odds of winning are still in our hands, so I am just going to deploy troops, and I don’t need to risk my life, and I will definitely return safely.” You Yan said softly, “I know you passed four years ago. What kind of suffering, this time I will not let you go through it again."

Lin Ce closed his eyes slightly, he licked his lips, and said in a low voice, "Actually, I can go to the Southwest in person, if Yujia personally conscripts..."

"Isn't that just what they want? You left the capital for a Southwest? I can clean up the chaos in the Southwest for you, but I can't sit in the capital for you, because not everyone can trust me," You Yan said. Looking at Lin Ce, he said seriously, "Huaicheng, you are the master of the world. If you sit there, the world will be stable. This is the majesty you have accumulated little by little in the past few years and the respect that all people have for you. Trust, not even me, can replace it."

Lin Ce rested his fingers on You Yan's shoulders, rubbed them one after another, and after a long time, said softly: "I know, I wouldn't stop you."

"I hope you can trust me, and then, wait for me to come back."

"I have always believed in you," Lin Ce said softly, "but this does not conflict with my worrying about you."

You Yan looked at him for a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, he looked outside, only to find that the sky was already dark and the candles were already lit in the hall, he couldn't help asking: "What time is it? How long have I slept?"

"It's raining today, the sky always gets dark earlier," Lin Ce replied, "Gao Yong asked someone to cook ginger soup, you drink some to get rid of the cold, and then have dinner."

You Yan sighed softly, and buried his face on Lin Ce's shoulder: "Today is a day of great joy for Shuwen, I almost forgot, I don't know what's going on in the mansion now."

"I sent someone to send a letter to the old lady. Everything in the mansion is as usual now. The guests and hosts are enjoying themselves. Don't worry." Speaking of this, he hesitated a little. I'll let someone ask you to come back."

You Yan shook his head: "How can this kind of thing be delayed. Anyway, Shuwen is the protagonist of today, and other people are not important. He is very busy today, and he probably doesn't know that I am not here. Going back will only disturb his interest."

"If he is dissatisfied, I will explain it to him personally."

You Yan laughed when he heard the words: "Shuwen is now your courtier after all. If you explain this kind of thing to him without thinking, you are not trying to scare him. Anyway, he won't really blame me. At worst, it will happen in a few days." Bring him some tea."

The autumn rain was desolate, there was no charcoal basin in the hall, and there was a bit of coolness, Lin Ce was full of worries, and he no longer had the mind to deal with the government affairs, so he just leaned on the couch and hugged You Yan, and the two talked.

There was a knock on the door suddenly, and Gao Yong's voice came: "Your Majesty, the Southwest Army has reported."

The two people in the hall paused and looked at each other before Lin Ce responded, "Send it in."

The door of the palace was carefully pushed open from the outside, bringing in a bit of cold wind. Gao Yong himself sent the general in, and brought the ginger soup for You Yan by the way, then stepped back lightly, and closed the palace. Door.

You Yan took a sip of ginger soup, the hot taste eroded his mouth, and then brought bursts of warmth.He leaned on the couch, watched Lin Ce open the military newspaper, then carefully read the content on it, took another sip of ginger soup, and then said slowly, "Who wrote this military newspaper?"

"Guo Zhun." Lin Ce said, he had already read the content on the paper, and looked up at You Yan, "As the secret agent said, Tao Jiang did die for the country, and our army was defeated and lost thousands of dollars in the battle around the capital. People, have now given up attacking Yingdu City, and temporarily retreated to Jiaozhou."

"Why did you lose? Why did Tao Jiang die?" You Yan clenched the soup bowl in his hand, "This Guo Zhun, can you make it clear?"

"The military newspaper said that the Lord of Fan Kingdom sent a small group of people to escort a carriage out of Yingdu City. Tao Jiang believed that the carriage was the family of the Lord of Fan Kingdom, so he personally led hundreds of people to chase after him, but he didn't want to Falling into the enemy's trap, he was defeated and perished. At the same time, the defenders in the capital waited for an opportunity to counterattack. Our army without the main general did not investigate for a while, and it was too late to deal with it, so we were defeated. But fortunately, we withdrew in time, so there was no greater damage After finishing speaking, Lin Ce shook the thin sheets of paper in his hand, "Guo Zhun has temporarily taken over the military power, waiting for my next order."

You Yan locked his eyes on Lin Ce's hand, looked at the few pieces of paper, and suddenly threw the soup bowl in his hand on the ground, and the debris fell all over the ground, disturbing the people guarding outside the hall, Gao Yong hurriedly asked Said: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

"It's okay," Lin Ce said calmly, "The soup bowl is too hot, you General You didn't hold it for a while. I'll clean it up later."

"The slaves obey the order."

There was a bit of a smile on You Yan's lips, but it was full of sarcasm: "Does Guo Zhun really think that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so he can let him do whatever he wants? Abandon tens of thousands of soldiers, and then lead hundreds of people to chase a carriage that escaped from the city? Such a simple trick to lure the enemy, Tao Jiang will try it himself?" He raised his hand and took the few pieces of paper out of the Lin Ce took it in his hand, "If Guo Zhun hadn't taken over the military power so urgently and written such a memorial, I wouldn't have thought of him, even if Tao Jiang wasn't killed by him, But he can't get rid of the relationship."

He lowered his head, glanced quickly across the paper, and took all the contents above into his eyes, and continued: "I always thought that although Guo Zhun was difficult to deal with, he always had a big picture. After all, if the Southwest is gone, He is the general manager of Yizhou, so I told Tao Jiang not to care about him. But if he dares to frame Tao Jiang because of this, I will definitely let him pay with his life."
