The deep palace courtyard, with its solemn and solemn architectural style, is very quiet and beautiful amidst the heavy snow.
Xu Yuan looked at the white sky and walked forward with the woman in red beside him.
She seems to like bright colors like fiery red.
She did not wear the loose red robe and skirt of the past, but a rather tight fiery red dress.
Xu Yuan glanced at the other party naturally.
After losing the loose red robe, he finally had some ups and downs.
Acting is something that needs to be invested with true feelings, and then pulled out ruthlessly, then go in again, come out again, go in, come out, and so on.
So,
When Li Qingyan noticed his gaze and glanced at him coldly, Xu Yuan just smiled and asked aloud:
"You've come so far, can you tell me what you want to ask me?"
Li Qingyan paused and stared at Xu Yuan with slightly opened red lips:
"Director Lou, has she left the city?"
When Xu Yuan heard this, he immediately began to pretend to be confused:
"Ah? Haven't you already sealed the entire city with a formation? How can she get out?"
Li Qingyan stared at Xu Yuan's plain eyes as if he were looking at a fool:
"Xu Changtian, when you say this, do you think I have no brains?"
"No."
Xu Yuan looked serious: "Don't talk nonsense."
People with big breasts have no brains. Of course you have brains.
Li Qingyan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said directly:
"I personally prefer that she has not left the city. After all, you have not left. So if Lou Ji has not left the city, I hope you can contact her and leave two Yunqi bombs sent to Zong Qingsheng and Uncle Mu. Beifeng City."
After hearing this, Xu Yuan was thoughtful and asked:
"What if she's gone?"
Hearing this question,
The corners of Li Qingyan's lips raised slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared straight at Xu Yuan:
"If she leaves, she will definitely offer to take you away with her, but you are still here, so you can start thinking about how to explain to me why you want to stay in Beifeng City."
"." Xu Yuan's expression was slightly strange.
He found that each of these royal people was more difficult to fool than the last.
The person who asked Xu Yuan to stay in Beifeng City as a hostage was you, Wu Yuan, and the person who is left to explain now is also you, Wu Yuan.
After a while,
Xu Yuan suddenly said in a funny tone: "What are you suspecting?"
Li Qingyan smiled slightly, his eyes unchanged: "What do you think I am suspicious of?"
"How can I know what you suspect if you don't tell me?"
"What do I doubt in your own mind?"
"Okay, okay."
Xu Yuan raised his hand to interrupt the spell: "You just suspect that I, Xu Changtian, stayed here to prepare for trouble in Beifeng City."
Saying that, Xu Yuan paused and pointed at himself:
"Your Highness, do you think a dude like me is capable of causing trouble in this situation?"
"Dandy?"
Li Qingyan looked at Xu Yuan up and down, and a hint of humor appeared on his beautiful face:
"I never believe in so-called reputation, I only believe in what I see with my own eyes."
"So what did you see?"
"After getting along with Xu Changtian for this month, I think you don't look like a playboy at all."
"Can I beat you?"
"." Li Qingyan.
A moment of silence,
The woman in red patted the snowflakes falling on her shoulders:
"It seems that Lou Ji has indeed left."
Xu Yuan did not hide this anymore:
"She did leave, and she did say she would take me with her."
"oh?"
Li Qingyan's beautiful eyes were a little confused: "Why are you suddenly willing to tell me this? Are you thinking about how to explain it to me?"
Xu Yuan shook his head and said seriously:
"This is what my father meant."
"."
Li Qingyan became slightly helpless, as if he had already expected Xu Yuan to explain this way.
Xu Yinhe.
Growing up, she had often heard this name from Uncle Mu.
When I was a child,
Uncle Mu's comments about Mr. Xu are generally words of praise and admiration such as "one appearance through the ages" and "amazing strategy".
But as she grew up, Uncle Mu's praise for Mr. Xu gradually changed from praise to scoldings such as "a thief who steals the country", "an old immortal" and "a bastard who does not abide by the ways of a courtier".
Such a character is really suitable for taking the blame.
When Xu Yuan saw Li Qingyan's expression, he knew in his heart that the other party didn't believe him. He sighed and started telling lies:
"No, my princess, do you think I, Xu Changtian, want to stay in this shabby city?"
While talking, Xu Yuan pointed to the south of the city:
"The city gate over there was blown up. Once the barbarians attack the city, we know how many days we can hold it."
"But my father said that he needs my son to stay in Beifeng City as a hostage so that you can rest assured that our Prime Minister's future actions will not endanger the interests of the imperial court."
After Li Qingyan heard these passionate words, a trace of thought appeared in his eyes:
"Didn't you say that you are a dandy? A dandy would still care about this?"
Xu Yuan frowned, with a hint of anger in his eyes:
"Li Qingyan, I, Xu Changtian, did not do human affairs before, but I have been influenced by it since I was a child. I can still grasp the importance of the overall situation."
Li Qingyan looked at Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan also stared at her, his eyes sincere and sincere.
For a long time,
Li Qingyan suddenly raised his eyes and smiled:
"It seems that Lou Ji has prepared a retreat for you."
"." Xu Yuan's expression froze.
Damn it, if you want to show off, how come these women are more ruthless than the other when they are trying to cause trouble?
In a daze,
Li Qingyan slowly raised a jade hand, caressed Xu Yuan's face, chuckled at a close distance, and his red eyes were as hot as fire:
"Regardless of whether there is an escape route or not, if you dare to stay in Beifeng City in this situation, you are worthy of a man in this palace."
After all,
She patted Xu Yuan's shoulder with her hand:
"I am very satisfied with you on this matter."
"."Xu Yuan.
Withdrawing his hand, Li Qingyan continued to move forward and said:
"The barbarians will probably start attacking the city in about two hours. I will go to the city gate tower right away to take charge."
two hours
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed up and asked with a frown:
"Lou Ji told me that the barbarians are adjusting their deployment and preparing to siege the city. The siege will have to wait until at least tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow."
The heroic woman in red raised her red eyes and glanced at the white sky:
"It is indeed necessary to wait until tomorrow to completely surround Beifeng City, but the barbarian king will never do such a stupid thing. He can at most expand his military formation to the Dongxian Gate and not go further north."
Xu Yuan immediately understood:
"Is it necessary to be surrounded by troops?"
"The enemy must be surrounded? Good vocabulary."
Li Qingyan narrowed his eyes: "But it's more because the foreign king is very aware of the internal conflicts of our northern border army. As long as he puts all his troops in the south, the sects in the city will definitely have other thoughts."
Xu Yuan pondered slightly and frowned slightly:
"You mean the sect is thinking of escaping?"
As he said that, Xu Yuan glanced at the heavy snow in the sky with strange eyes:
"Aren't you looking for death if you lead an army to flee in this kind of weather? And if Beifeng City is lost, the 700,000 troops will really be alone."
Li Qingyan's voice was slightly cold:
"The army will not flee, but those high-level officials will definitely think of escaping with supplies. Some of the barbarians understand my Dayan language. When the time comes, the barbarians will definitely use this to disrupt the morale of the army in the city, and they will lose the leadership of these people. The following is The time for the army to reorganize will become a gap period."
The higher the position and the more power one has, the more one cherishes one's life.
It is not difficult for high-level cultivators to cross the northern mountains. As long as they are not too unlucky and are blocked by strong barbarians, they can usually escape directly back to the territory of Great Yan.
Xu Yuan thought for a moment and suddenly asked:
"But aren't you already in a battle?"
Li Qingyan shook his head:
"Maintaining the operation of the North Fengcheng Formation is a huge expense every day. If we bear the siege equipment, the expense will become even greater. Once the war starts, most of the source crystals will be deployed to the formation in the south of the city. By then, the north Naturally, the formation cannot maintain such intensity."
After saying that, Li Qingyan smiled comfortingly at Xu Yuanyan:
"Don't worry, even if the city is destroyed, you will never die before me."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan's heart sank, and suddenly he had a bad feeling:
"Princess, what do you mean?"
Li Qingyan said nothing and took out a pair of armor from the Sumeru Ring:
"Try it on and see if it fits."
"."
Xu Yuan glanced at the armor of Qianhu's personal guards of the Yulin Army.
Although Dayan's technology of engraving defensive formations on cloth and clothing was still rare, the technology of engraving on armor, although expensive, was already quite mature.
Human life is not valuable in this extraordinary feudal dynasty, but martial arts practitioners are valuable. The cycle of training a combat-ready soldier starts at least five years, and for elites, it takes ten years.
Therefore, most forces will not be stingy on life-saving items such as armor. The regular army basically has standard armor.
From the grassroots soldiers, to the middle-level captains, to the high-level commanders, there are standard armors.
However, the armor Li Qingyan gave him in front of him should be specially made, and his soul could sense some complicated and mysterious formations on it.
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan reached out to take it and asked softly:
"I don't know what your highness means."
Li Qingyan pursed his lips and smiled:
"From now on, you are the only personal guard of this palace."
Xu Yuan's mouth twitched:
"only?"
While talking, the two of them had already arrived in front of a courtyard.
Li Qingyan pushed open the courtyard door and said casually:
"When my cultivation level was low, I followed Uncle Mu. When my cultivation level is high, I naturally don't need personal guards, so you are the first one."
The small pond in the courtyard has frozen, and the pavilions and pavilions are covered in thick snow. However, the stone pavement seems to be made of a special material, and the snow disappears as soon as it falls to the ground.
Walking together on the stone road, Xu Yuan said:
"As for doing this? In this situation, there is no need for me to hide my identity."
A bodyguard is equivalent to a 24-hour personal bodyguard. It is equivalent to being unable to attend the third prince's invitation tonight. It is almost impossible to do anything he wants to do in the future.
Li Qingyan seemed to have guessed what Xu Yuan was thinking, and glanced at him coldly:
"When there is a war, there are both city defense formations and military formations. The safest place is around me."
Xu Yuan did not agree and said:
"The war has not started yet, so there is no need to be in such a hurry."
Li Qingyan frowned slightly, but then he seemed to understand something and turned his eyes to look at him:
"Did you and Li Yunqing have something to talk about in that pavilion earlier?"
"."Xu Yuan.
This washboard princess seems to be a little too sharp. If the engagement is really concluded, it may not be easy to fool her when going out after the wedding.
Well, Big Ice Tuozi is still the cutest.
She believed whatever he said.
I miss the first day in Dabingtuozi.
Xu Yuan was thinking about these messy things when Li Qingyan suddenly said unexpectedly:
"In that case, you can come back to my side as a personal guard from tomorrow."
"." Xu Yuan's eyes were a little surprised.
This woman actually let him go?
Li Qingyan's beautiful face looked slightly soft in the wind and snow. A pair of phoenix eyes met his gaze and he said slowly:
"If you want to go to a place like Goulan, I won't stop you before your wedding."
Xu Yuan stopped subconsciously and looked at Li Qingyan's tall back with astonishment.
But soon,
He then heard the rest of Li Qingyan's words coming faintly:
"Although I don't know what you want to talk about with Li Yunqing, if it involves the matter of seizing the legitimate son, I suggest you not to get involved randomly. I will not be the same as Li Yunqing."
After all,
She opened the door to her own room and walked straight in.
Xu Yuan stood there in a daze.
hiss.
What did this woman mean by her last words?
Follow into the room,
Xu Yuan looked around, locked the woman in red who was tying her hair in the room with brief furnishings, and asked directly:
"Hey, what did you mean by that last statement?"
Li Qingyan took out a hairpin from his Sumeru ring, gathered up his long straight black hair that was scattered behind him, neatly tied it into a bun, and replied softly:
"literal meaning."
Xu Yuan walked to sit opposite Li Qingyan and asked:
"If you don't support the prince, you are preparing to support the second emperor."
Li Qingyan stared at Xu Yuan helplessly:
"Changtian, in your opinion, a prince must be the successor to the royal family?"
Xu Yuan took a breath of cold air, and then tried to act:
"You want me to be the prince."
"madness."
Li Qingyan tied up her hair and stood up with a tall figure. Her simple bun made her look more heroic. Her eyes were slightly cold for a moment:
"In the Great War, there are external and internal troubles, and the common people are suffering. I will support whoever is willing to solve the problem and who can solve it."
"."
Xu Yuan placed the armor on the table in front of him and exhaled.
have to,
He thought this washboard princess was planning to become an empress.
As expected of being raised by Marquis Wu Cheng, he only protects the emperor, but not the actual person.
Just thinking,
Xu Yuan's eyes suddenly condensed and he stared at the woman in red opposite:
"what you do?"
Li Qingyan untied the belt around his waist and said in a calm voice:
"Change your clothes and put on your armor."
Xu Yuan's eyes were unblinking and his expression was serious:
"Do you need help?"
Li Qingyan met his gaze with no trace of shyness on his face:
"You seem to want to help me put on my armor?"
After a pause,
There was a hint of mocking amusement in her red eyes:
"Oh no, you seem to want to help me take off my clothes."
between words,
The red coat fell to the ground and the room was silent.
Xu Yuan's eyes widened at first, then disappointed, and then surprised.
The beautiful woman's white and flat belly had a beautiful and attractive waistcoat line, but it disappeared further up.
A special piece of chest-wrapping cloth was wrapped so tightly that it couldn't be seen clearly at all.
