Li Guo suffered a loss this time, so he had no choice but to turn around and continue the war with the old King of Qin. The Qin army was not a vegetarian, so it naturally responded with all its strength. Yan Qing ascended the throne in a hurry and could not mobilize all his troops, so he had to continue to seek help from Yan State.
Yan Lie had just left Kyoto City and had only traveled half a day when he was overtaken by the soldiers who were delivering messages from the Yi Kingdom. Yan Lie took the letter with confusion and saw that it read: "His Royal Highness, War King: You see the words as they say, the war in Yi State is all due to the Yan State's great help, but before I can express my gratitude, there is another merciless person. Please. Because Li Guo is raiding the northern border again, I am really worried about Emperor Qin, but I don’t have enough troops to support him. I would like to ask His Highness the War King to send some troops north to help me protect Emperor Qin when he returns to Yan State. Uncle, when everything is sorted out in the future, I will come to your door to say thank you. Yanqing."
Yan Qing's meaning was clear. Although he was embarrassed to trouble others, he still spoke. He probably felt that he had already embraced Yan Guo's lap anyway, and the ready-made troops would not be used in vain! Although the Yan State can refuse, if they really refuse, they are worried that Yan Qing will turn his anger on Yan Yu.
"Brother Emperor, this Yan Qing is so shameless. How can this army borrow money once and borrow it twice?" Yan Xu had been living in the open during this period, so he couldn't help complaining.
"What can I do? Who told him to be my brother-in-law!" When he thought of Yan Jing, Yan Lie couldn't refuse, but the long-term battle was too much for his brothers, so he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"His Royal Highness, the Fourth Prince, you and the fourth prince will go back first, and the wounded soldiers will also go back first. I will lead a team to support the old King Qin." Every time he encountered such an embarrassing situation, it was Li Xiao who took the initiative to stand up and solve the problem. , so Yan Lie admires Li Xiao very much for his responsibility and responsibility.
"But in two months, it will be your wedding date with the emperor's sister." Yan Lie said with some worry.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty the War King, I will remember the time and make a quick decision." Li Xiao said. According to past experience, it will indeed not take too long to completely solve the problem.
Finally, as Li Xiao suggested, he led a group of troops northward alone, while Yan Lie, Yan Xu, and some sick people returned to Yan State first.
After hearing about the current situation in Yi Kingdom, people in Yanjing City knew that the heroes were about to return to the court.
During this time, Yan Jing often went to visit Yan Shu and learned some cooking methods from her. The two of them often go to Yanjing Food City to listen to plays and eat delicious food together. In short, their life is very pleasant.
When they received a message from Fei Ge, saying that Yan Lie and the others were on their way back, Yan Jing and Yan Shu started making delicious food. After all, their men felt sorry for themselves. Leading troops to fight was hard work, so they naturally wanted to reward them well when they came back. Rewarding.
Another half month later, Yan Lie and his party finally returned to Yanjing City. It was late winter now. Yan Jing and Yan Yan had gone to the palace gate to wait early in the morning. Their ears and noses were so cold that they saw the shadows of Yan Lie and Yan Xu.
Yan Yan's eyes scanned the team several times, but she didn't see Li Xiao. "Brother Imperial, where is Li Xiao? Why didn't he come back together?" Yan Shu asked.
"Don't worry, he has something to do and will be back in a few days." After Yan Lie said that, he hugged Yan Jing. The situation was simply enviable to others. Yan Xu shook his head and left first.
Yan Shu suddenly felt empty in her heart. She didn't know where Li Xiao had gone or if anything happened to him. She only knew that he had not come back.
