Phantom Square.
"So, you and Chi Meng are going to Hidden Soldier Valley?"
The empress was still wearing a dark red thorny gold python robe. She held the tachyon in her jade hand but did not move. She looked across the dining table and frowned.
Li Jing nodded slightly, picked up the dish and put it into his mouth.
The bright lights in the hall reflect on the dishes, as if adding a filter to these exquisite side dishes.
"Uncle Yang and I used to have a mentor-disciple relationship... Now that he's here, there's no reason not to help. But the matter is at this point, and I don't know what the final result will be."
The empress frowned and looked a little confused when she saw Li Jing just burying her head in eating. But there were Ji Ruxue and others in the hall, so they didn't ask directly.
"Well... we should start our journey tomorrow, so we won't be delayed much."
Li Jing ate very quickly and usually had a huge appetite. Therefore, the porcelain bowl in front of him is two sizes larger than that of the Empress and others, and even compared to Chi Meng's bowl, it is also slightly larger.
Wiping her mouth with a small handkerchief, Li Jing put her hands on the dining table and looked at the empress's phoenix eyes, feeling a little ashamed in her heart.
Until now, it seems that there is nothing that can be done to coax her.
"You guys eat first, I'll go outside to get some fresh air."
Li Jing stood up and left. Chi Meng, who still had rice grains left in the corner of his mouth, puffed his cheeks and glanced at Li Jing's back in confusion as he strode away.
Usually Xiaoguoguo would wait for them to finish eating together...
After a while, the empress also stood up and left, and the huge hall seemed to become a little empty in an instant.
Even Chi Meng felt that the meal was no longer delicious.
What are you doing?
…………
On this late autumn night thousands of years ago, the coolness came earlier than in later generations.
Li Jing frowned and stood in front of the court with her hands behind her hands. Her slender figure was pulled out of the old shadow under the moonlight. But his two eyes were still shining brightly in the darkness.
He lived again, but he didn't expect that Uncle Yang's life could not be saved.
In fact, Li Jing didn't have much affection for this person who was neither a teacher nor a relative. However, when I first came to this world, I happened to be in a period of fear. Uncle Yang happened to show up and was willing to give me careful guidance, so I climbed up the pole.
I never thought I would reach this point in the end...
Li Jing looked up at the waning moon in the sky, thoughts flashing through his mind.
Du Gong's resuscitation of Uncle Yang must be just an illusion. I temporarily stabilized Li Xingyun, but in the end, I still had to go on my own...
There were faint footsteps behind him, and Li Jing turned around with a smile on her face.
"I see you were quite tired just now, why don't you go rest?"
Although the empress was wearing a thick python robe, the makeup used to cover up her daughter's body had been washed away because she had already returned to the palace. Now she stood under the moonlight, with a beautiful face, narrow phoenix eyes, and a mature charm flowing between her dark eyebrows.
Although her long eyebrows are slightly wrinkled at this moment, she looks like a hibiscus emerging from the water, a unique sight.
Li Jing looked over from here and fell right on her bright face. Although we have lived together for a long time, this scene still feels amazing.
Li Jing's gaze was quite aggressive, but the empress just frowned slightly and opened her lips lightly: "We are going to the Hidden Soldier Valley. Are you hiding something from us?"
Li Jing raised her eyes and looked directly into the pair of narrow phoenix eyes. She sighed in her heart and said softly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just some of my personal matters that have not yet been resolved. If this matter can be resolved... maybe in the future... There are far fewer places to be restrained.”
The empress narrowed her phoenix eyes and said coldly: "To this day, is there anything else you can't tell me?"
Li Jing was speechless for a moment, and just about to speak out, he heard the cold voice of Sister Yu continuing to sound.
"As soon as you came out of Miao territory, you couldn't wait to clear out foreign enemies for Qi country. First, you refused to follow me back and forth in Shu country and took over the land of Hanzhong. Then you asked Corpse Ancestor to invite Drought Demon to come to Qi country to build Firearms. He also used the method of distillation to make spirits for sale in the name of Huanyinfang, making profits to replenish the national treasury, as well as various 'work-for-relief' and other methods to attract refugees from all walks of life..."
"What on earth are you going to do?"
Under the night, the narrow phoenix eyes widened, forcing Li Jing to look away and no longer look at her.
"If you want to leave Qi Country, even if you go to Tongwen Palace or any of the princes, I will not stop you. But I want to know, what you did to make Qi Country stronger...have you left long ago? idea.”
"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains and Winds"
The empress stepped forward, and Rulan's breath sprayed on Li Jing's neck, causing Li Jing to take a step back.
"You are overthinking it. I am not going alone. There is also Chi Meng..."
The empress sneered: "The golden silkworm Gu on Chi Meng's body must be on your body now. You used magic to hide it from her, but you can't hide it from me!"
Li Jing's breath suddenly stagnated, and she turned her head dumbly.
How come she knows everything.
The empress stared into his eyes for a long time, and then slowly said: "I had no doubts at all, but you were too hasty in what you did before... As soon as one edict was issued, another edict came immediately. Take it out. It’s almost as if you want to take out everything you have learned in your life at once. Before, I thought you were just eager for success, until today..."
Li Jing was just silent.
His original intention was indeed to bear Li Xingyun's future revenge alone after this incident was over.
With Yuan Tiangang's support, even if Li Jing leaves the Cangbing Valley and goes to Qi State, Qi State may be besieged by other princes.
With the oppression of bad commanders, almost no princes in the world dare to resist.
Li Jing remained silent, and the empress just looked at him.
After a while, Li Jing's slightly hoarse voice sounded slightly: "I went to the Hidden Soldier Valley not to save Uncle Yang, but to kill him... After this incident, I was completely in a situation that was beyond redemption, Li Xingyun He will definitely be on the opposite side of me. And he has the support of a bad guy. By then..."
A hand covered his mouth in an instant, and the empress's phoenix eyes were blank and colorless.
"Whatever you want to do, just do it. Qi Country will not abandon you, and I will not abandon you."
"Before, I only had Qi Country in my heart, but now..."
To this day, there is no need to finish the words between the two, the hidden meaning is only in their eyes.
Li Jing exhaled and slowly held the empress in his arms.
"wait me back."
…………
The sky was white and misty, it had just dawned, and there was still a bit of cold autumn in the air.
The west gate of Fengxiang City was ordered to be opened early.
Three figures on horseback rode out. The figure on the far left was the tallest and straightest. He had a bamboo hat on his head and was only wearing an ordinary black narrow-sleeved short coat.
Only the wide and long sword box behind it attracted a little attention.
The ordinary young man's eyes were slightly closed, he suddenly reined in his horse and stood there, looking back at the city head.
The dark red figure on it looked over from a distance with a pair of phoenix eyes.
You can also see here that the shorter figure next to her is almost reduced to tears.
Li Jing smiled easily, turned around, and pinched the horse's belly.
The sound of trampling horse hooves sounded.
The figure on it gradually faded away.
