The emperor finally did not wait for the attack from the grassland tribes. He only stayed in Nanyun City for four days and left in a hurry.
During the four days of the day, they were basically together with Li Ye. The two of them discussed how to win the battle in front of them at the lowest cost, and then face everything that was about to happen in the imperial city.
It took four days to explain everything to Li Ye repeatedly. Even if there were any omissions, Li Ye dug them out and then found a solution.
The final result of the discussion between the two was: the benevolent is the king.
Because the Five Regions Dynasty has never bullied some of the surrounding small tribes, it has been a peaceful place for thousands of years, and the people of the Five Regions have also received cultivation business.
Although Li Ye mentioned the banditry on the Fuchun River, it was not a big deal in the eyes of the emperor.
"You are now a national advisor and have a large army at your disposal. Once this battle is over, you will have your hands free to deal with the illusory water bandits." The emperor laughed angrily at Li Ye.
Li Ye looked at him and said nothing, thinking that after the battle, this matter would be the eldest prince's business. How could he have time to take care of such nonsense?
As the carriage drove on the wasteland, the emperor took Li Ye's hand and confessed again and again: "I don't care about anything in the imperial city, but Wutong is the only one you have to take good care of for me. If someone bullies her, I want you to take care of her." Get ahead.”
Li Ye was stunned and thought to himself that you are leaving now, and you have thrown another big baggage here, and you can't even think about whether to pick it up or not.
"When I return to the imperial city, I will look after her for you, don't worry." In desperation, she could only make a promise.
"Can't you tell me that you are willing to marry her? I don't care how many wives you find in the end, at least include Wutong?" The emperor really wanted to kick him.
Li Ye thought for a while, looked at him seriously and replied: "My goal is also where you are going now. I really can't promise you before that."
After much deliberation, this was the only reason to shut the Emperor's mouth.
"Fart! I still marry and have children, right? You're just making excuses. I don't care, just look after her for me." Seeing that Li Ye wouldn't let go, the emperor had no choice but to act rogue.
"Okay, you can be cruel." Li Ye smiled.
"After my husband and I go to Tianshan Mountain, half of the guards around me will stay in Fengyun City to protect your family, and the other half will come back to Southern Xinjiang to help you. They will be handed over to you from now on."
"After the throne is confirmed, I will hand them over to the new emperor. Is this a sign of my affection for him?" Seeing that Li Ye finally agreed, the emperor couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"What state are they in?" Li Ye looked at the man in black outside the car window and asked with a smile.
"Why don't you go down and try with them, and pass two moves?" The emperor looked at him and said with a smile.
Li Ye shook his head. He would not be stupid enough to test the guards around the emperor.
"When we get to Fengyun City, please tell my parents that I will go back to see them after I have taken care of the matters in the Imperial City."
The emperor looked at him and asked, "Do you want to send a letter back?"
Li Ye shook his head: "No need, they have just arrived, and there is nothing more to say."
In his heart, only staying with his parents is the best thing, and everything else is just fart.
The emperor nodded, pointed to the stone pavilion in front of him and said, "Send it to wherever you are. You must say goodbye after a long journey."
Li Ye's heart softened, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he stretched out his arms to hug the emperor: "We are far apart, Your Majesty, take care of me!"
The emperor hugged him gently and wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed: "I will conquer the country first. When you arrive, you can still be my national advisor."
Li Ye felt sad about leaving, but was suddenly laughed at the words of the emperor. He let go of his hand and said with a smile: "As long as your majesty can conquer the country again, when Li Ye passes away, I will definitely become a master of the country with you again." ."
The emperor looked at him and praised him sincerely: "I like your words very much."
Li Ye shrugged and said with a smile, "I often say something to make my husband happy."
The monarch and his ministers looked at each other, and then burst into laughter.
...
A group of people arrived at Shili Tiao Pavilion outside Nanyun City, and the emperor finally drove Li Ye out of the carriage.
Looking at Li Ye, whose eyes were red, the emperor waved his hand and said with a forced smile: "I'm going to leave as soon as I slap the ass. Everything else is left to you and your husband. The palace has its own arrangements. You don't have to Worried."
Li Ye followed him to the ground and waved, "Have a safe journey!"
The emperor said nothing, waved his hand and got into the carriage.
I saw the man in black who was driving the carriage flicking his whip, and the carriage pulled by four dragon horses slowly climbed up the official road and drove away into the distance.
Nalan Yu came up and looked at Li Ye and asked, "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"
Li Ye looked back at him and didn't reply. Instead, he took the reins from him, looked at the carriage gradually going away, and whispered:
The jade steps stand empty,
The old bird returns home in a hurry.
Where is the return journey?
The long pavilion is connected with the short pavilion.
After repeating this in a low voice several times, he mounted his horse and galloped towards Nanyun City.
Li Ye galloped on his horse, and Nalan Yu had no choice but to follow him.
What Nalan Yu didn't know was that Li Ye was in tears at this moment. He didn't want Nalan Yu to see him like this.
He would rather have this summer wind blow dry the tears on his face.
...
Thinking about that afternoon six years ago, in the pavilion of an inn in Baiyu City, the emperor, also dressed in black, made three courses of tea with him and chatted for an hour.
Before leaving, he also gave himself a jade pendant. It was not until five years later that he learned that this was the formation of the imperial city.
When he was still young, the emperor entrusted himself with the important task of protecting the imperial city.
That's an unconditional trust.
A kind of trust that Li Ye could not repay.
He ran all the way, rode into the city, and returned to the south gate tower like a gust of wind. Then he dragged out the lounge chair in the house and nestled the whole person in it.
Mu Mu, who was chatting with Wei Qingyu in the room, looked at Li Ye who came back without saying a word, and couldn't help walking up to him and reaching out to touch his forehead.
After a long while, he murmured: "Is it because there is no war, my brother's mood is getting worse every day?"
Li Ye opened his eyes and looked at her, as if he had returned to Tianshan when the three-year-old girl ran to him and left two spiritual fruits behind. As a result, both he and Li Hongxiu accidentally broke through.
"Mu Mu, do you miss Bai Susu?" Li Ye pulled Mu Mu to sit down next to him and asked gently.
When Li Ye suddenly asked her about her childhood, Mu Mu's eyes suddenly turned red, and she nodded and said, "Of course Mu Mu thinks so, but I seem to have forgotten what she looks like."
After saying that, he suddenly fell into Li Ye's arms and started crying.
Wei Qingyu, who was in the room, ran out and looked at the two people with wide eyes.
Li Ye waved to her to express that it was okay.
"Yes, it's been eleven years since Master Bai left Mumudu. It's been too long, so it's normal to not remember." Li Ye patted her gently and said calmly.
"Master, will you still remember Mu Mu?" Mu Mu raised her head and looked at Li Ye and asked.
Li Ye nodded and said with a smile: "Master Bai is an adult and has a better memory than us. How could she forget you?"
"That's good. When Mu Mu's cultivation reaches a certain level, we'll go find the master." Mu Mu said, clenching her fists.
"That's right, my Mu Mu has always been the most powerful. By the way, what level are you at now? I've been busy with frontline matters recently, so I forgot to ask you."
"It's the eighth level of the golden elixir, I guess. My husband scolded me last time, so I won't be able to endure it any longer." Mu Mu thought for a moment and replied.
Li Ye looked at her and smiled and said, "I still like Mu Mu back on Tianshan Mountain. I really shouldn't have let my wife take you down the mountain. She taught you some nonsense."
When Mu Mu heard this, she immediately quit, jumped up from his arms, and made a face at him: "Do you dare to say this in front of your master's wife?"
"Why don't you dare? Let's see what I say to her next time." Li Ye chatted with Mu Mu for a few words and felt his mood calmed down a little.
"I don't know when that damn girl Xiaoqing will come back. How many years have she been back? I don't know if she will come back to see me or that damn girl Xiaobai. I will definitely let the dog bite him when she comes back." Mu Mu said bitterly. .
Listening to Mu Mu talking about Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai, Li Ye suddenly remembered that there was no news about these two guys since they left Fengyun City.
"Did something happen to the two of them? It's been seven or eight years, and it's supposed to be time for them to come back." Li Ye looked up at the sky and said faintly.
"Hmph, Xiao Qing used to come to see Mu Mu every year, but now she has actually forgotten about Mu Mu." Mu Mu curled her lips.
"Stop talking about it, wouldn't you be living well without Xiaoqing? You can't bring up a thirteen or fourteen-year-old Yuanying realm monk, right?" Li Ye said with a smile.
"You have your birthday in about ten days. If you want anything, my brother will find it for you." Because Bai Susu doesn't know Mu Mu's specific birthday, Mu Mu has always celebrated the same birthday as Li Ye in these years.
Mu Mu tilted her head and thought for a long time, then shook her head and said, "It seems that I don't want anything in particular, because my brother has already given Mu Mu an iron bow."
"Then let Brother Nalan go hunt some hares outside the city and come back, and I'll grill the meat for you." Li Ye also knew that there was really nothing for Mu Mu, and the two of them never separated their belongings.
Besides, Mu Mu is a money-lover and has saved more things than Li Ye.
Upon hearing this, Mu Mu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "I haven't eaten my brother's roasted meat for a long time since my parents went back."
When Wei Qingyu, who was sitting nearby, heard these words, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Princess Princess, after this battle is over, I will accompany you to the countryside to hunt."
Mu Mu looked at her and nodded, smiling: "Go all, go all!"
While the three of them were talking, Nalan Yu walked in, looked at Li Ye who was lying on the chair and said, "I have carefully checked the tunnels outside the city. Two of them are blocked and have been resolved."
Li Ye looked at him, nodded, and replied quietly: "Just wait for them to call."
"What good advice does the Imperial Master have?" Nalan Yu found a chair and lay down on it.
Looking at the increasingly cloudy sky, Li Ye said calmly: "I will fight with this to drive them back to the three towns. This time it is our turn to attack and play around them."
Nalan Yu and Wei Qingyu were both shocked, wondering what kind of medicine was in Li Ye's gourd.
As long as Mu Mu doesn't care, she just needs to be with Li Ye, and she won't think about things that waste her brain.
"They have been surrounding me for so long. Do you think it's fun? I haven't started yet. I'll give them three moves first. When I let my horse pass, that's the day they surrender."
Closing his eyes, Li Ye said quietly.
...
Twenty miles outside Nanyun City, in the golden tents of the grassland tribes.
Yelu Chucai looked at King Khan and Yelu Qi from various tribes and said, "Have all the heavy equipment for siege been brought here?"
Yeluqi replied: "Everything is in place today."
Lan Tianqi looked at Yue Wuxie and Zhize Suogu and said, "This is our last battle. All departments must work together to win Nanyun City."
Yelu Chucai looked at the three of them and said in a deep voice: "This time we and our army should not be anxious, learn the lessons from the previous two times, play with them slowly, and be sure to capture Nanyun City."
Zhize Sogu patted his chest and said: "We must give an explanation to our dead brothers and capture Nanyun City."
Yelu Chucai nodded and said: "At midnight tomorrow, the army will arrive at the city, the three shield formations will open the way, and the catapults will crush them. I don't believe it. This Nanyun City is made of iron."
Yeluqi looked at the four kings without saying anything. He was just a junior here and had only the duty of obedience, but he had a bad feeling. After all, the guy named Li Ye had not revealed his trump card until now.
He was not sure whether he could win Nanyun City in one battle.
But he didn't dare to say it out for fear of affecting the military morale of various departments.
In wartime, military morale is the most important.
...
On Nanyun City.
Li Ye looked at Nalan Yu and asked, "Brother, how is the matter I asked you to do with Wang Tianhua?"
Nalan Yu smiled and replied: "It was done quietly last night. Brothers are all hoping that this will make another great contribution. How can we not be careful?"
Li Ye took a deep breath and said quietly: "As long as you do this well, I will definitely give you credit later."
"Could it be that they will really attack tomorrow?" Nalan Yu looked at the wasteland outside the city. It was so quiet that even wild animals didn't want to pass by.
"They are more anxious than me. They have been preparing for so many days and they probably can't bear it anymore." Li Ye said softly.
"Do you want me to invite the eldest prince and City Master Yang to come over?"
"Forget it for today. When my elder brother goes back in the evening, he will go to their house and ask them to lead the army and get here on time tomorrow morning."
This was Li Ye's intuition at the beginning of the war.
Regardless of whether your prediction is accurate or not, you must take the most thorough precautions.
"Mumu and Qingyu, you two should go back early to rest today and be here on time tomorrow. We will give them a big surprise." Li Ye said in a condensed voice.
"Brother, don't worry, Mu Mu will definitely help you win this battle!" Mu Mu shouted, patting his chest.
Li Ye shook his head, walked to Nalan Yu, and whispered to him.
Nalanyu looked up at him and nodded vigorously.
Li Ye walked outside the door, looked at the boundless wilderness, and roared.
"This time it's my turn to be a hunter!"
