They say it's sick

The rain dissipated and the clouds dispersed, and the morning light was faint.

Even though there were many turmoil and hazes the night before, they all disappeared when the sun rose, and the palace finally returned to its former purity.

Yunzhi rarely sleeps because of any incidents. In the past years, even if a big battle is imminent, he would have to sleep first, let alone just dispel a long-term obsession. The beloved is beside the pillow. After the rain In the early morning of Chuji, it is necessary to have a good sleep.

But often the more this seemingly easy to satisfy demand, the more difficult it is to fulfill.And Chen Jin is often the one who likes to disturb Yunzhi's clear dreams since childhood.

In the matter of getting Yunzhi to wake up, Chen Jin has developed a spirit of perseverance with years of rich experience.

Although this ability has been useless since Li Yan was added to Yunzhi's room, it has never been shelved, and the door was knocked so loudly that even Xiao Duo, who was sleeping soundly in the main hall, was beaten Shocked and went out to check with his shoes, Yun Zhicai, who covered his head with the quilt, finally reluctantly let go of Li Yan's arm, which was tightly embracing him, and asked him to get up to open the door, and lifted the quilt by himself, letting the cold wind blow in and open the door. The door blew against his face, and he woke up slowly.

Chen Jin went out of the city before dawn, and came all the way back in a hurry, still in good spirits, looking the same as before, at least Li Yan didn't see anything unusual, he led people into the house, and went to pour water by himself.

Yun Zhi sat on the bed, casually draped a robe over his middle coat, rubbed his eyes, and was about to ask Chen Jin what news he had, when his eyes fell on his face, he frowned, "What happened?"

"Listen to me first..." Chen Jin took the teacup passed by Li Yan and drank it down. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "After I returned to the city last night, I was about to arrange for someone to send a letter to Youzhou. First, there was news sent to our house. As you expected, those small countries in the north were indeed instigated to join forces to find trouble in Youzhou. I don’t know if they suddenly grew their brains or got advice. This time, they did not directly Youzhou City took action, but instead divided into many small teams, sending cavalry in turn to harass several villages and towns near the border, and ran away when they met our defenders, and came back again when they found an opportunity in the next day, tossing back and forth several times .

Although there was not much loss, neither the civilians nor the army were disturbed.Lord Hou felt that this could not always be the case, so that the people would not be able to survive even an Ansheng year, so he decided to use offense as defense, and personally led an elite army to attack the nearest Milu Royal Court. You know our strength, and the result is natural Big win, but..."

Chen Jin paused slightly when he said this, as if he was struggling with the wording later, Yun Zhi, who had been silent all this time, took his expression into his eyes and asked directly: "What's wrong with my father?"

Chen Jin sighed, and no longer struggled with how to speak euphemistically, he replied honestly: "During the attack, Lord Hou accidentally hit a Liu Ya and fell off his horse, and he was unconscious for several days, and now he finally woke up before he dared to let others Send us a message."

As he spoke, he took out the letter that had been in his arms and handed it to Yun Zhi: "The letter was written by the young lady, saying that Master Hou is no longer in danger of life, but after all, he broke his leg. It means, after all, it is the year of destiny, and he is not as strong as before. He has accumulated many old injuries after many years of fighting. He really should take a good rest. But you also know the character of Lord Hou. The current situation in Youzhou , how could he rest..."

What Chen Jin said later, Yun Zhi didn't listen at all, his eyes fell on the paper as if he was reading a letter, but unconsciously, his father's suddenly gray temples appeared in his mind after the elder brother's accident.

He has always felt that he is omnipotent, but he has always understood that it is because Yun Ye has the confidence behind him.

In fact, in the past years, Yun Ye, who fought all the year round, was always hovering on the edge of life and death, which was even more rare than when the danger was extremely dangerous now, but the older he was, the mood was completely different for Yun Zhi.

He knew better than anyone else that Yun Ye would not always be heroic and invincible, but he always hoped that this day would never come.In fact, he could support the Yun family, but he never wanted to use such an opportunity.

When the news arrived, everything that should be said was said. Li Yan sent Chen Jin out of the house, and arranged for someone to prepare hot water and food for him. When he returned to the room, Yun Zhi had already got out of bed and was sitting on the desk. before, contemplating an open map.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head subconsciously, his eyes fell on Li Yan's face, he bent his eyes, and said softly, "It's still early, you can sleep for a while."

"It's not that you don't know me, you've already slept enough, if you didn't want to spend more time with you, you would have woken up early..."

Li Yan added charcoal to the charcoal basin, took a fur coat and put it on Yun Zhi's shoulders, sat down next to him, and glanced at the map, "The situation in Youzhou is very difficult?"

"It's a little bit, but it's not impossible to deal with..." Yunzhi spread out the map completely, and pointed it to Li Yan, "This is the location of those small countries, each with its own distance, and now Milu is already in danger, and he is powerless to fight with him." The other few join forces, and the rest continue to use my father's method, which can naturally be resolved, but the battle line is too long, and it will always take a lot of time and energy to ensure that Youzhou's city defenses will not be attacked by surprise, but With Youzhou's current military strength, it can still deal with it."

Li Yan looked in the direction of Yunzhi's finger, and asked after a little thought: "In your opinion, according to Youzhou's military strength, it is actually possible to wipe out these small countries in one fell swoop to avoid future troubles. Why did you delay until now?"

"These small countries are no different than Juba. They all live in the grasslands and live as nomads. After destroying their royal courts, they have no cities to occupy, and it is very difficult to garrison troops. Go to the grassland to graze. Besides, it is easy to destroy the country, but it is impossible to kill all the people. When the time comes, the rest of them will still be there, and it will still be difficult to survive..."

Yunzhi sighed, "Youzhou is already big enough, and the people can live in peace. There is really no need to start a war just to occupy the boundless grassland."

"The people of Youzhou are lucky to meet the Yun family..." Li Yan was silent for a moment, then turned around and poured a cup of hot tea into Yunzhi's hand, "The prince means to stay in the palace for a few more days , spread the news of the Holy Majesty's illness first, and then send out the funeral, so... you should set off for Youzhou tomorrow, otherwise it will be troublesome to leave the capital after the national funeral."

Holding the teacup, Yun Zhi looked at Li Yan without blinking: "You want me to go back to Youzhou?"

"Because you want to go back..." Li Yan poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip, "According to what you said, the troubles in Youzhou can be resolved, but it will take time. Your father is injured and needs to recuperate. Although there are your sister-in-law and the generals in the middle, he still has to worry about it. Thinking about it like this, you can't feel at ease.

You came to the capital that day to avenge your elder brother, now that your obsession is gone, it has nothing to do with you, the only thing that makes you hesitate is me. "

"Actually, I didn't hesitate too much. I want to go back to Youzhou, and I know that you won't stop me. The only thing I'm struggling with is what should you do..." Yunzhi put down the teacup and rested her head on Li Yan , "According to my heart, I want to take you with me. Anyway, you also said that day that you want to go back to Youzhou with me, but now is not the time."

Li Yan nodded lightly: "The war is urgent. If you want to return, you will have to travel day and night. If you take me with you, you will inevitably have concerns. When it is freezing in Liaobei, even I can't say whether I will." I just tossed and got sick, which delayed the trip instead, and then..."

"Furthermore, you don't want to leave the capital just yet..." Yunzhi took his hand and said softly, "Although there are arrangements for the war in the southwest, the generals and household servants have just set off, so it's hard to say what will happen next. The situation in the middle is more pressing. Although King Huai'an has prestige and military power, there are always some loyal veterans in the court, who are very dissatisfied with him for years of controlling the government.

Once the news of Jinshang's death came out, it was bound to cause an uproar.No matter how well he can cover up everything that happened in this palace, there will always be someone who will be convinced that he murdered him, and by then... the chaos after the death of the late emperor will probably repeat itself again. "

Li Yan sighed and didn't answer.

After the death of the first emperor, the princes competed for the throne, and many forces competed among them. It seemed that Xiao Duo was the one who won the victory in the end.But all the dangers and twists and turns are forgotten along with the victory.

The palace has already been cleaned up, even if Yuan Jing's body is enshrined in the main hall over there now, the news that will spread in a few days will only be that he suddenly died of a serious illness while recuperating in the palace today.

But as Yun Zhi said, no matter how perfect the arrangement is, those old ministers in the court who have long been dissatisfied with the Xiao family will not let it go. Maybe there will be restless people taking the opportunity to make trouble, and there are hidden dangers in the southwest.No matter how good Xiao Duo is, he still has a headache for a while.

At this moment, even if his own existence might not be able to help him, Li Yan couldn't leave the capital without hesitation.

Fortunately, he and Yun Zhi always understood and understood each other.

They all have their own things to do, and both understand and support each other's choices.

It is also because of this that in the face of the upcoming parting, I feel more and more reluctant.

"Although there will be no war in the capital, it is still dangerous. You must be careful..." Yun Zhi pressed her face to Li Yan's chest, listening to the still strong heartbeat, "It took me a long time to get better. , don’t get sick again because of your troubles or negligence, you know that I have eyes and ears in the capital, so I can’t hide any news from me, and if there is anything wrong with you, I can’t feel at ease on the battlefield.”

"Okay, I promise you, I will take good care of myself..." Li Yan put his arms around his shoulders, and leaned over to place a kiss on his lips, "The battlefield is dangerous, and the sword has no eyes. You have to be more careful than before, because of me Wait for you."
