In the imperial study room of Daqian Imperial City, memorials flying like snowflakes piled up higher and higher.
"Crash!"
Li Jiuye finally couldn't control his emotions. He stretched out his hands suddenly and swept all the scrolls on the table to the ground.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Changsun Jian looked at the emperor's pale and haggard face, feeling sympathy in his heart.
The deteriorating situation on the border made the Daqian Emperor's temper worse day by day. Yesterday, he almost became angry with his favorite third princess, which scared Li Yiru to the point of almost crying.
"Three more cities were lost. What happened to Yu Xuanji and Zeng Rui?" Li Jiuye loudly vented the anger in his heart, "It's been so many days, why is there still no movement at all?"
"Your Majesty, it is not easy to mobilize enough troops to compete with Xiao Wuhen and the Fulong Empire without the Xiao family being aware of it." Changsun Jian said calmly, "General Yu and General Zeng have already replied, It is estimated that it will take at least two weeks to successfully intercept Xiao Wuhen's retreat."
"Two weeks, how can I wait for two weeks!" Li Jiuye's voice became louder and louder, "In two weeks, the entire Xiqi Province will be occupied by the Fulong Empire!"
"Your Majesty, for the current plan, we can only stabilize the Xiao family first." Changsun Jian said solemnly, "Some sacrifices are inevitable."
"Do you really want to bow to the Xiao family?" Li Jiuye bit his lower lip hard, with bloodshot eyes almost coming out, "The third child finally fought for the Li family, but he has to be defeated by my incompetent emperor father. Throw your face back?"
"Your Majesty, everything is for the country and the country!" Changsun Jian advised earnestly.
"If I dismiss Lin Aiqing today, investigate and throw her into jail." Li Jiuye fell weakly on the golden bench, "Who else will be willing to sincerely serve my Li family in the future?"
"It's just a temporary grievance. I hope Lin Shangshu can understand His Majesty's difficulties." Changsun Jian advised softly, "After these two weeks, we will naturally have many ways to compensate him."
Li Jiuye slumped on his chair, his expression gloomy and he remained silent for a long time.
"Your Majesty, the situation on the border is extremely urgent, and we must make an early decision!"
"Hey!" After a long while, Li Jiuye seemed to have accepted his fate and waved his hand to Changsun Jian, "Pass the message to Dali Temple and say hello to Lin Aiqing. You must treat Lin Aiqing well and never let him suffer in prison. "
"I obey the decree!"
Looking at Changsun Jian's leaving figure, Li Jiuye seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He lay on the chair and stared blankly at the golden ceiling above the study, murmuring to himself:
"Xiao Qing, Xiao Wuhen, today's humiliation will be repaid tenfold. If I don't punish you nine Xiao family clans, I, Li Jiuye, will not be a human being!"
*************************************************** ***************
It is now the hottest season of the year, but Qingfeng Mountain is still green with green mountains and water, shrouded in fairy mist, and is cool and refreshing. It seems to have no connection with the outside world, and it is a paradise world of its own.
Under the powerful effect of the "Spirit Gathering Pattern", the entire Piaohua Palace was shrouded in thick spiritual mist. The sunlight filtered through the layers of mist and plants and shone into the courtyard. Its power was repeatedly weakened, just like early spring. Warm, without any heat of midsummer.
The sun had already climbed past its peak and gradually began to slide westward, and smoke could be heard coming from the kitchen on one side of the yard.
Ever since Zhong Wen accompanied Shangguan Junyi to the imperial capital, the good-tempered Leng Wushuang took the initiative to assume the responsibility of the cook.
The kind-hearted assassin girl knew that her cooking skills were far inferior to Zhong Wen, and she was worried that the sisters in the palace would not be used to it, so she asked Zhong Wen to leave a few recipes before leaving, detailing the cooking methods of some common dishes. After carefully recording it and practicing diligently every day, the meals gradually began to look good. Although there were only a few varieties, the taste was already at least seven points higher than Zhong Wen's.
From the row of houses in the backyard, the sound of "ding, ding" was heard from the forging. The elixir business in "Qingfeng Pavilion" was becoming increasingly popular. Qiao Erniang worked hard and purchased large areas of medicine fields around. Many pesticide farmers are employed, and orders for planting tools are coming in continuously. Shen Xiaowan, in addition to practicing all day long, devotes almost all her energy to the "production" of farm tools. It would be unreasonable to say that she is the number one "coolie" in Qingfeng Pavilion. Not an exaggeration.
Without Shen Xiaowan's company, Baoqin, Siqi and other four girls were also very busy down the mountain. Without Zhong Wen's stories and delicious food, the little Loli was lying on the corridor in front of the house bored, with the table in front of her. There are a lot of spiritual crystals placed there.
She held her chin with her left hand and swung her feet back and forth behind her. From time to time she stretched out her right hand to touch the spiritual crystal in front of her.
Any spiritual crystal that she touches will lose its luster within a moment, turn into an ordinary stone, and then be placed in the pile of stones next to the spiritual crystal.
A wave of spiritual power that seemed to be advanced suddenly emanated from the little Loli, and then disappeared quickly.
As if she was used to it, the little Loli looked uncomfortable, still swaying her feet in boredom, and continued to reach out to touch the pile of spiritual crystals in front of her.
"Goo!"
Suddenly there was a strange cry above the head, and then a black shadow came down from the top and landed quickly in the courtyard of Piaohua Palace.
Little Loli turned her head and looked around in surprise, and saw a strange big bird appearing in the yard at some point. It had a white head and extremely long wingspan, and it looked very majestic.
Behind the big bird sat a man and a woman. The man in front had a handsome face, wearing a white shirt and a gentle smile on his face.
"Zhong Wen!"
The little Loli was so happy that she no longer cared about the spiritual crystals on the ground and rushed towards the big bird with a loud shout.
"Xiaodie!" Zhong Wen laughed and jumped off the bald eagle, reaching out and lifting up the little Loli, "Did you miss me?"
"I miss your...Journey to the West!" the little Loli was very honest.
"Are you just thinking about my story?" Zhong Wen pretended to be sad.
"Also, there's also the food you cooked."
Zhong Wen: “…..”
He suddenly felt that sometimes honesty may not be a virtue.
"Where did you find this big bird?" After another friendly conversation with Shangguan Junyi, the little loli's attention quickly shifted to the bald eagle, "Can I ride it and fly into the sky like you? ?”
"Of course, I will take you to the sky to play around in the evening." Zhong Wen touched the little Loli's head and said lovingly.
"Really?" Little Loli happily pulled Zhong Wen's sleeve and shook it, "You're so kind!"
At this time, a slim orange figure appeared in the yard, with a stunningly beautiful face, a slim figure, and beautiful big eyes filled with surprise, joy, and deep longing.
"Wushuang!" Zhong Wen looked at the assassin girl whom he hadn't seen for many days. He was so excited that he couldn't help but open his arms to her.
Leng Wushuang's eyes were filled with mist, and his figure turned into an orange shadow in the courtyard. He quickly jumped into Zhong Wen's arms, buried his cheek in his chest, and never wanted to leave again.
Shangguan Junyi stood behind the two of them, looking at Leng Wushuang in Zhong Wen's arms with a hint of guilt, feeling quite complicated.
After a passionate kiss, Leng Wushuang finally left Zhong Wen's arms reluctantly, with a seductive blush on her fair cheeks, which moved Zhong Wen's heart.
At this time, Lin Zhiyun, Nangong Ling and others also appeared in the courtyard one after another. Although Zhong Wen had not been away for a long time, the courtyard was still filled with a lively and joyful atmosphere of reunion after a long absence.
Sure enough, when he is around, there will always be more laughter on the mountain.
Looking at the Piaohua Palace compound with laughter and laughter, Lin Zhiyun couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
While Zhong Wen was chatting and laughing with everyone, he was thinking about how to confess to Leng Wushuang what happened between him and Shangguan Junyi.
"Sister Wushuang, can you come with me?" Shangguan Junyi suddenly took Leng Wushuang's hand, "Sister, there is something I want to say to you."
"Sister Junyi..." Zhong Wen knew that Shangguan Junyi wanted to take the initiative to take on this responsibility, but he felt guilty and opened his mouth to speak.
"Little brother, go cook!" Shangguan Junyi glared at him, then turned around and pulled Leng Wushuang out of the yard.
Zhong Wen sighed, turned around, and found Nangong Ling looking at him with a half-smile: "What's the matter, Sister Nangong?"
"It's nothing." Nangong Ling blinked her beautiful eyes: "Didn't you hear Elder Shangguan's instructions? Hurry up and cook."
Zhong Wen knew that the incomparable wisdom of Sister Nangong had seen the clues. He shook his head helplessly and walked towards the kitchen...
…
When Zhong Wen came out of the kitchen, Shangguan Junyi and Leng Wushuang were sitting in the lobby talking affectionately, with extremely harmonious expressions on their faces, not even a hint of sex.
Zhong Wenxiao walked forward with a smile, and happened to meet Leng Wushuang's clear eyes. His heart was shocked, and he couldn't help lowering his head and saying shamefully: "Wushuang, I'm sorry."
Suddenly I felt a piece of softness in my hand, but it was held by Leng Wushuang's catkins: "My father is just a farmer, but he also married two wives, let alone a capable person like you, and Sister Shangguan treats me very well. , I am very happy that you can be with her."
"Wushuang..." Zhong Wen was moved when he heard this.
"As long as you still have a place for me in your heart." Leng Wushuang said softly, "I will be satisfied."
Zhong Wen couldn't help but hold her delicate body in his arms: "Wushuang, I will never let you down in this life."
"I don't know how many lifetimes you, little rascal, have been blessed by this." Shangguan Junyi couldn't help but sigh when seeing Leng Wushuang being so considerate, "You can actually win the heart of Miss Wushuang."
"There is also sister." Zhong Wen took her hand with a smile, "From now on, the three of us will never be separated."
"I'm really taking advantage of you, a little rascal." Shangguan Junyi couldn't help but glare at him and said coquettishly.
"Since we are all a family, why don't we get together in the evening..." Suddenly some thoughts came to Zhong Wen's mind, salivating at the corner of his mouth, and he laughed.
"Little brother, do you think you have lived too long?"
Shangguan Junyi immediately understood his dirty thoughts. He tapped his jade finger lightly and condensed a small red vortex in the air.
"I-I'll serve the food!" Zhong Wen felt a chill on the back of his neck. He shrank his neck in fear, turned around, and ran into the kitchen without looking back.
At the same time, the gray messenger bird flapped its wings and flew into the library of Piaohua Palace.
