"As we walked along, I felt that at least one third of the area was ice and the rest was snow. But after we walked here, I discovered that half of the area was covered with ice, and neither soldiers nor horses dared to walk fast. , the infantry is already very slow, and with the boundless fear, they will probably be even slower!"
Li Hanyan looked unhappy after hearing Zhao Xuanyi's analysis, "Far East is really stingy. They actually gave 20,000 cavalry. It would be great if they were all cavalry!"
"I'm satisfied if they are willing to lend troops. I don't know how to repay the favor of 40,000 troops. Fortunately, we now have 75,000 troops. Even if Japan wants to have a huge war now, We are not afraid of counterattack!"
"Well! There are more than 70,000 people. Although having more soldiers is a good thing, the food and grass are consumed very quickly. How long can our current food and grass last?" Li Hanyan asked.
"It won't be much, I guess it won't last more than a month!"
"What? Only less than a month?"
"This also includes the food and grass recovered in the past two days, otherwise it will be a problem for half a month! But it doesn't matter. We will set off in two days. Along the way, we will kill people to get food and kill chickens to get eggs! It is enough for us to maintain our lives. As long as there are people in Japan, we I won’t starve to death!”
Li Hanyan smiled, "I hope what you said is true!"
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"
"A lot! When you went to Zui Chun Tower every day, when would you come back and not lie to me?"
"Oh my ancestors, how long has it been? Why do you still remember it? Really!" After Zhao Xuanyi said that, he hugged Li Hanyan tightly in his arms, and then slowly kissed Li Hanyan's lips!
But Li Hanyan didn't move away, and the two finally kissed each other. Zhao Xuanyi kissed Li Hanyan's lips gently. He was still a newbie to these things, and he didn't want to scare her away. He did so softly and slowly, as if he was eating ice cream. !
He stuck out his tongue and counted all the two rows of Li Hanyan's teeth. Well, there was a lot. Then Zhao Xuanyi wanted to pry open Li Hanyan's teeth, but Li Hanyan stood firm and did not give Zhao Xuanyi a chance!
Zhao Xuanyi was so angry that he laughed and whispered in Li Hanyan's ear, "Fool, open your mouth!"
"Why...? Wuwu?" Just as Li Hanyan spoke, Zhao Xuanyi took advantage of the situation and sealed her lips. Li Hanyan felt as if a poisonous snake ran into her mouth, turned around inside, and then grabbed her own The fragrant tongue keeps lingering around him, without giving him any chance to fight back!
Is this a kiss? She had seen Zhao Xuanyi and Zi Yuan kissing more than once, but this was the first time she experienced this feeling. Li Hanyan slowly closed her eyes and enjoyed it, and a pair of beautiful hands hugged Zhao Xuanyi's shoulders!
The two were kissing sweetly when suddenly a woman's moan came over. Zhao Xuanyi and Li Hanyan immediately separated and looked up at the wall. The sound came from next door, and of course Qinglian and Liu Bo were next door!
Li Hanyan's face turned red with embarrassment, "Really...?" Li Hanyan couldn't find any adjectives!
Zhao Xuanyi laughed softly, "Okay, my father hasn't been seen for a long time, let them alone!"
"Why are these walls not soundproof at all?"
"It's just a layer of window paper and not a single brick. How else are you going to soundproof it?"
"Just one layer of paper?" Li Hanyan asked in surprise.
"What do you think? And you haven't seen that this wall can also be opened. Just like a door, it opens when you pull it! How about I open it for you to take a look?"
Li Hanyan grabbed Zhao Xuanyi's arm, "Don't make trouble! Qinglian and Liu Bo are next door. Will you let them live if you open it?"
Zhao Xuanyi laughed loudly, held Li Hanyan in his arms, and grabbed Li Hanyan's hips with his big hands, "When we get home, we will also enter the bridal chamber!"
Li Hanyan hurriedly put her face into Zhao Xuanyi's arms and refused to lift it up for a long time!
On the other side of the capital, Zhao Xuanyi has been gone for more than a month, and forces from all sides are also surging! Early in the morning, Qi Lianzhong personally came to the Meridian Gate of the palace in a carriage. After getting off the car, he carefully picked up his daughter!
Qi Qingyu timidly got off the carriage and looked at the frightened palace. At this moment, Qi Qing
Yu no longer had the freshness and excitement that she had when she first entered the palace. She just felt particularly scared when she saw this palace!
"Dad, now that the prince is no longer in the palace, what else should I do?"
Qi Lianzhong glared at his daughter, "Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? The original purpose of letting you in was not to find the prince, but to accompany the queen. As long as the position of the princess is not decided for one day, we cannot stop. Next, I heard that Huang Ning’s girl has also run inside recently, how can my Qi family’s daughter lose to him?”
Qi Qingyu looked at her father who could no longer dissuade him. He could only take the prepared gifts and walked towards the gate of the palace! No matter what I say at this moment, it is all in vain!
In Mingyue Palace, Nan Zhu quickly walked into the hall, "Elder Princess, Qi Qingyu is here again. I just saw her enter the queen's bedroom!"
Mingyue Palace's face was full of coldness, "This Qi Lianzhong is really shameless. Is it possible that we haven't killed enough people to remind him? He actually let her daughter enter the palace? You really don't take me, the eldest princess, in your eyes!" Reading La
"Princess, do you want me to go over and teach her a lesson?"
"No, the queen likes this girl very much now. If she teaches her a lesson in person, I'm afraid it will discredit the queen. Don't worry about her for now. What kind of trouble can a girl in the boudoir cause?" Compared with this, Zhu Yuejun is more worried about Zhao Xuanyi. !
The distance between the capital and Japan is as great as heaven and earth. Even my Moon Guards can't reach the place. Now I don't know what's going on there. Everything seems to be lost in the sea. This makes Zhu Yuejun worry every day. I can’t let go of my heart for a long time!
"Is there no news about the prince yet?"
"No, since they left the Ming Dynasty, they have completely lost contact. At least there is any news from the Far East! I have asked the Moon Guard to be responsible for the investigation, but... I haven't received any news yet!"
Zhu Yuejun sighed, put down the fold in his hand, and slowly closed his eyes. Nan Zhu slowly walked over, "Eldest Princess, you are getting thinner and thinner now. Do you want me to send the imperial doctor over to take a look at you?"
Zhu Yuejun waved his hand, "No, I'm just a little tired. It's okay! How are you doing in the capital recently?"
"There's not much in the capital, but...it's very lively over there with King Yong'an!"
"King Yong'an? What are you making trouble again?"
"The marriage between his son and the girl is approaching recently. I heard that invitations were widely distributed and many ministers in the court have received them!"
"Has anyone gone?"
Nanzhu shook his head, "Even if they receive the invitation, they won't go by themselves. They will probably ask the servants to send the gifts, otherwise they will expose their contact with King Yong'an!"
"Hmph! Do these rip-off guys really think that King Yong'an can be successful?"
"Princess, do we want to do something?"
"No need for the time being. King Yong'an is undoubtedly putting pressure on the court and telling us how powerful he is. However, we don't know how much his partisans can help him in front of the court! By the way, prepare some for me too. Give me a gift!"
"We... also give gifts?"
"Of course, it would be too stingy if we didn't express such a big happy event!"
"Then...eldest princess, what should we give you?"
"It can't be too shabby. Order the Ministry of Industry to carve something for me out of gold. It must be a heavy gift from the royal family!" After Zhu Yuejun finished speaking, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth!
In Prince Furui's palace, Zhu Zhelin sat in front of the desk, holding a hand warmer in his hand and a bamboo slip on the table, nodding his head as he read.
Zhao Xuanli walked in from outside. When he saw Zhu Zhelin, he clasped his hands and saluted, "See you, Your Majesty!"
"Here, come in!"
"Yes!" Zhao Xuanli walked into the study. "My lord, are you anxious to call me here? Is there something wrong?"
"Your brother went to Japan and has been gone for a month, right?"
"Yes! Almost!"
Zhu Zhelin put away the bamboo slips in his hand and turned to look at Zhao Xuanli, "I sent someone a few days ago
An investigation was conducted and it was proven that the treasure map I obtained last time was a fake! In other words, he is really still in the Duke Protector's Mansion, and Zhao Xuanyi is not at home now. Can you think of a way to get it? "
When Zhao Xuanli heard this, he was shocked, "Your Majesty, this...isn't it appropriate? My brother is not at home, and there are only a few younger siblings in the house. It is not appropriate for me, the elder brother, to go alone!"
"When did I tell you to take the main entrance?"
Zhao Xuanli blinked, then looked at Zhu Zhelin's face, and slowly lowered his head, "Yes! I understand!"
Zhu Zhelin nodded, "Zhao Xuanyi won't be able to come back for a while. Presumably the Duke Protector's Palace will not be so peaceful. Can you find an opportunity by yourself?"
Zhao Xuanli rolled his eyes and said, "My lord, have you heard something?"
"What do you want me to hear?"
"This...no! I'll do it right now!" After Zhao Xuanli said that, he turned around and left!
In the Duke Protector's Mansion, Zi Yuan is sitting in the study and reading the account books. Although there is no shortage of money in the mansion now, Zi Yuan must calculate every expenditure clearly and not squander it wantonly. This may only be possible for those who have experienced wandering and begging in the past. It will be clear!
The door opened, and a small figure walked in, then hugged Zi Yuan's thigh and said, "Aunt Zi Yuan!"
Zi Yuan put down the pen in her hand and looked down at the little angel Liu Xiawan, "What's wrong? Didn't I ask you to practice?"
"It's over. It's so boring in the house these days. How about we go out and play?" Zi Yuan also liked this lively and smart child. She slowly picked up Liu Xiawan and put her on her lap.
"Auntie is inconvenient now and can't leave the house. You just play at home. If you have nowhere to go, go find your Aunt Tang Rou and see Zhao Mingxian?"
"What's so good about that little one? He cries every day and is very disobedient!"
Zi Yuan smiled, "It was the same when you were little!"
"Auntie, they all say you are pregnant. You will give birth to a baby next year, but how did you put the baby in your belly?"
"..." An innocent little girl asked this question, and Zi Yuan didn't know how to answer it for a moment!
In Tang Rou's room, Tang Rou and several other girls were coaxing the child. Du Xinyu was holding Zhao Mingxian and rocking her. Zhao Mingxian laughed happily. Seeing that Du Xinyu liked children so much, Tang Rou couldn't help but said, "Do you like having one by yourself so much?" "
"No!" Du Xinyu shook her head in fear, "I'm still surprised. When you gave birth to the child, I felt like you were about to die!"
Tang Rou shook her head helplessly, "I do feel that way, but as mothers we all want to have our own children, right?"
"My husband said that he will not force me to have a child! I don't want to die of pain!"
"You just need to meet a reasonable person like your husband. If you marry someone else, you probably won't be able to have children even if you don't want to. Mothers are more valuable than their children. If you don't have children, you probably won't even be able to eat!"
"I can make my own money!"
"What if my husband lets you leave the house? How about giving you money? How do you make money? How many of my sisters were ransomed at a high price, but only a handful of them lived happily in the end!"
Du Xinyu handed the child to Ha Kena, "Sister Tang, how did you fall in love with your husband back then?"
Tang Rou remembered what happened with Zhao Xuanyi back then and smiled, "I'm blind! My husband has been gone for so long, why is there no news at all?" After Tang Rou finished speaking, she showed a worried expression.
"Don't worry, my husband will be fine. He is very tough!"
Tang Rou smiled, "I really envy you for not growing up!"
Everything is calm in the Duke Protector's Mansion. Although Zhao Xuanyi is no longer in the manor, there seems to be nothing different in the manor, and there is no danger!
