Wearing the stars and wearing the moon, we travel both mountains and rivers.
In less than two days, a small team of four hundred cavalry generals led by Tantai Ming and Gongsun Changzheng rushed back to Siyang non-stop. What they escorted was the most important item in Simeng at the moment, which was sealed in West Asia. Archduke Tilda's Ice.
The silver-haired Grand Duke Tilda was sleeping as if in a deep sleep in the unmelting ice. She was wearing the church's saintly dress. Her body was slightly curled up like a mother holding a baby, and she was holding an invisible sword.
But Gongsun Changzheng knew very well that this sword was the reason why Fa Si was able to intervene.
Before dawn, the gate on the side of Siyang City has been cleared, and not even a mouse is allowed to wander here.
Waiting at the city gate on this side is the most distinguished figure in the entire Simeng.
Tantai was restored and Jiangningyun was restored.
The two stood quietly under the unclear sky. They seemed to have no interest in talking to each other. They only occasionally exchanged a few words to make the place seem less lifeless.
"West Asia will never give up." Jiang Ningyun said.
"Won't."
Tantai replied looking into the distance.
"How will the army respond?"
Tantai turned sideways and finally looked into Jiang Ningyun's eyes.
Those are really a pair of young eyes. Such a girl is almost old enough to be his daughter, but now she looks at him so forcefully.
He spoke slowly: "Listen to Your Highness."
Jiang Ningyun sighed. She knew what kind of person Tantai Fu was, and she also knew what kind of person His Highness was.
"How does Lord Tantai want His Highness to decide?"
Tantaifu pondered for a moment, but then showed a rare smile: "You girls from the Jiang family are too straight-tempered."
"The one with a soft heart that can turn around is not here, he is in the palace."
Jiang Ningyun answered quickly.
Tantaifu shook his head: "No, I'm talking about temperament. Both of you have very straight temperaments."
He looked into the distance again and his tone became much gentler:
"If you were in the military department, both of you sisters would make very good soldiers."
Jiang Ningyun frowned slightly: "Master Tantai means that Ning Yun is not as handsome as you."
"There is no such thing as handsomeness. He just lives a long time."
Tantai Fu doesn't always look like he wants to eat people, but there are always people who look like they have an aura of calmness and self-power.
Such a person, even if he says this calmly, will always make people unable to relax.
"War is always a bad thing. There is no reason why people like war."
Tantaifu's eyes seemed to be looking towards the north in the direction of West Asia, somewhat empty:
"Of course we can fight a good war against Simeng, but when we fight a war, there will always be people who hate us, whether it is Simeng people or West Asians."
Jiang Ningyun looked at Tantai Fu's figure looking into the distance, and his tone was cold:
"It's really wonderful that they hate His Highness, not you, the Commander-in-Chief."
Tantai was not angry anymore, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth: "There will always be people to hate, unless there are people in the world who are happy when fighting, such people are stupid lunatics. Unless all Simeng's soldiers are lunatics, otherwise they must Someone was scolded.”
He turned around with his hands behind his back and faced Jiang Ningyun, his tone was unusually serious:
"If you scold Your Highness, bad words will not be transmitted into the palace. If you scold you and me, the Simeng state will be unstable. Who do you think it is better to scold?"
Jiang Ningyun frowned slightly, as if she didn't like the other person comparing her to him. She glanced deeper into the night and her voice became calmer.
"coming."
Tantaifu didn't need her reminder. In the distance, under the night sky, he could see a piece of pyroxene that was as high as two people, reflecting the bright moonlight, quickly approaching Siyang's side gate from mid-air. .
It was Tantai Ming and Gongsun Changzheng, as well as several hundred horsemen following them, as well as Gongsun Xue.
"See Mr. Souji!"
Everyone cheered in unison, and it was convenient to report both chief executives at once.
Tantai glanced at Tantai Ming in front of him again, and a trace of gloom immediately flashed across his son's face. He pressed his chin closer to his neck and lowered his head seriously.
He understood that the Justice Department could intervene in this matter and that Jiang Ningyun could stand here now. These were all his responsibilities.
That damn knight who never died!
With a "pop" sound, the expressionless Gongsun Xue smashed a huge wooden box nearly two meters high to the ground without saying a word.
The wooden box is like a tall coffin, but it is more well-protected than most coffins. It is densely covered with Taoist charms like psoriasis. If you look closely, you will find that the Taoist charms are slowly turning yellow one by one. It becomes brittle and finally turns to paper ash.
Lying inside was naturally the immortal Temperance Knight Odu.
Tantai glanced at Odu's coffin, looked at Jiang Ningyun, and raised his hand towards the ice sealing Tilda: "Master General, please."
Jiang Ningyun didn't give in. He nodded lightly and stepped forward. He raised his hand and placed it on the surface of the ice, closing his eyes slightly.
Shaoqing, she opened her eyes with long eyelashes and her tone was a little regretful:
"This Grand Duke of West Asia is indeed very powerful."
After hearing her helpless words, Tantai Fu's expression became much more solemn. He turned his head and glanced at Tilda in the ice, and his expression suddenly paused for a moment:
"...Yunbo Sword?"
Jiang Ningyun sighed. She originally thought that Gongsun Changzheng could find this thing quietly, but now the Yunpo Sword and Grand Duke Tilda were frozen in the ice that no one could break. This was not something she could do. It's under control.
"It is the Yunbo Sword. When His Highness visited West Asia, he gave it to the Grand Duke of West Asia for the sake of... just for a kiss."
"I see."
Tantaifu nodded and didn't say much.
But his apparent silence concealed deep thoughts in his heart - this little girl from the National Law Department did not know that His Highness was threatened by Prince Gao, and the idea of gifting a sword to a beauty must have been an excuse casually thought up by the ridiculous His Highness.
The real situation was clearly known by the military department of other countries. It must be part of Prince Gao's blackmail. Not only did he force His Highness to take his life, but also forced him to hand over the immortal gift for some reason.
So this Yunpo sword is useful?
What is the use?
Tantaifu's eyes lingered on the Yunpo sword for a long time. He didn't know that his assumption was almost the truth, except that Han Dongwen was not forced.
Your Highness... it is more valuable to protect him at the moment.
He was so deep in thought, and led everyone under the pale moonlight to escort Na Jian Bing to the most severe place in Siyang, Dingfa Pavilion.

Sleeping hall.
The dragon bed is made of warm and fragrant nephrite. Jiang Keyin's shoulders are like a piece of extremely beautiful and warm nephrite. Her collarbone reflects the moonlight outside the window, and her shoulder blades reflect the warm fire in the palace. She just leans on the bed and looks out the window.
"Your Highness, you could have deceived Ke'er."
She blinked her eyes that were very similar to her sister's and looked at Han Dongwen who was standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back.
His Highness called her here tonight, but she was still not a bed attendant. In addition to imparting the secrets of Qi Puppet, she heard a rather strange sentence.
"I want, no..."
His Highness took a breath and said again: "I want to make you my concubine."
"His Royal Highness originally promised to be the queen."
She was stunned for a moment, but her words were still filled with tender resentment.
"Ascend to the throne, and I will appoint you as my queen."
Han Dongwen's eyes reflected Jiang Keyin's shadow. He paused for a moment, but then continued:
"The concubine in the middle palace is very dangerous."
Jiang Keyin smiled, her eyes seemed to narrow, and she still seemed to be looking at Han Dongwen: "Fasi has been dealing with the Tantai family for many years."
"Not Tantai."
Han Dongwen shook his head, repeated what Tantai Fu said, and finally concluded:
"Tantai, they want the concubine alive, not the queen dead."
Jiang Keyin looked at Han Dongwen in front of him, was silent for a long time, and then spoke slowly: "Ke'er is stupid, your Highness, do you mean that Taka forced His Highness to choose the concubine?"
"no."
Han Dongwen shook his head: "But if Simeng has a concubine, he can make Prince Gao trust me more."
"If he can't do what he wants, will His Highness and Ke'er both be waiting for death?"
"yes."
"Where's Simeng? Where's Tantai?"
"Maybe they have a plan, maybe they don't, but for Prince Gao, if I can't do what he wants, there will be no more Simeng."
Jiang Keyin took a deep breath, and his smile became lighter, but more serious:
"What does Gao want?"
"You want me to stabilize Simeng and help him capture Taka."
"What does the beautiful Duke of Gaotongxia want?"
"We asked her to stabilize West Asia, but she failed."
Jiang Keyin blinked: "Xia is still there."
Han Dongwen took a deep breath and looked out the window: "And we have a chance to stabilize her."
"If you want to use force, will Tantai agree?"
Jiang Keyin leaned closer to Han Dongwen, hugged his shoulders from behind, pressed her chest against his back, and whispered in his ear: "Your concubine wants to remind you. , Tantai will probably say this: 'If there are people in the world who are happy during a war, such people are stupid lunatics.'"
"Lord Tantai feels that His Highness does not know how to fight."
Her red lips parted slightly, almost biting Han Dongwen's ear.
Han Dongwen looked at the moonlight outside the window and the stars in the north, and the corners of his mouth turned up:
"I don't understand soldiers, I don't understand madmen."
