The words fell.
Xu Jian didn't answer.
The house was quiet except for the cold wind howling outside and beating on the wooden doors and windows.
Xu Jian raised her eyes to glance at Lin Yunyan, then lowered them again, her eyes falling on the glass of wine on the table.
The wine cup is empty.
Subconsciously, he wanted to reach for the wine bottle.
A slender hand stretched out in front of him. The fingertips made his skin as white as jade. His fingers were clasped around the handle of the pot, and the wine fell down, filling the cup crisply.
Lin Yunyan was generous and generous, and Xu Jian could just see the set of sleeve arrows on her wrist hidden in her sleeve.
The arrow was naturally unloaded, but the cold and sharp concealed weapon matched the girl's soft wrist. It must be said that the difference was really big.
However, the person wearing the sleeve arrow is the little princess, so there is nothing out of the ordinary.
She has worn this thing for a long time and has long been used to it.
The movements of his hands and feet are not affected at all.
Not to mention the thick clothes in winter, even in summer, if you don't hold her wrist, you won't find the hidden secret.
And Xu Jian can see the front end of the sleeve arrow at this moment...
Firstly, it was due to the angle, and secondly, Lin Yunyan had no cover at all.
This is a habit and trust developed over many years. When I think about it, the heavy sullenness caused by the previous problem suddenly disappears a lot.
Xu Jian picked up the wine cup and took a sip.
The fragrance of osmanthus entered his mouth and his throat rolled. He leaned back slightly and tapped his right leg gently with his left hand.
He had been seriously injured.
In the late spring of the 10th year of Yongjia, the prince visited Yuguan on behalf of the emperor, which naturally boosted the morale of the border officers and soldiers.
The same goes for Xu Jian.
The prince's safety cannot be compromised, but Yuguan is still safe.
In the eight-year war, Yuguan failed and the court suffered heavy losses. However, Xu Mang led his troops to fight back and regained the pass, beating the Xiliang people back steadily.
After that, throughout the ninth year of Yongjia, Yuguan underwent reconstruction and reinforcement. So much hard work was naturally rewarded.
The unwilling Xiliang people wanted to make a comeback, but they couldn't rush in despite the towering pass city walls. They just frequently harassed and plundered outside the pass.
The soldiers went out to fight several times, but the Xiliang people did not take advantage.
In the spring of ten years, the reinforcement was completed.
The Holy Father had the idea of fighting him out, so he couldn't stand Xu Jian's hard words and a bunch of reasons, so that he returned to the border shortly after the funeral of the old Duke.
The arrival of the prince was not only to check the achievements of Yuguan, but also to inspire and call before the war.
As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince supervises the troops in the pass, there is no need to worry about safety at all.
However, Li Shao had only been in the pass for three days. After Xu Jian finished his morning training, the prince and his followers were nowhere to be found.
The garrison generals were so anxious that sweat broke out on their foreheads. After further questioning, they discovered that His Highness might have slipped out.
This is fatal!
We had to look for it, but we couldn't look for it in a big way, lest the Xiliang scouts would find out about it.
The general ordered the manpower, and Xu Jian was ordered to lead a group of people to set off.
By the time he found Li Shao, the group of people almost bumped into the faces of the Xiliang army.
The difference in numbers was too big, and Li Shao had to be taken care of. Xu Jian could not confront the Xiliang army head-on, so he could only retreat with the prince.
Who would have thought that the Xiliang people would find out and chase him wildly?
Li Shao panicked and ran to the town of Guanxia on horseback, causing the town to be involved in the war and killing more than a hundred people.
Fortunately, reinforcements arrived soon, and they fought together with Xiliang's backup, killing Xiliang's army and retreating steadily.
The situation turned around, but Xu Jian's right leg was seriously injured in the chaos because he wanted to protect Li Shao.
This "result" fell on the battle report and ended with a "great victory". Xu Jian was injured due to the battle.
As Li Shao and Xu Jian returned to the capital, the emperor cursed the prince behind closed doors, and the idea of excommunicating him was shelved.
Xu Jian carries his military exploits on his back, but there is no chance of recovery
, at first I could barely use crutches to support me, and then I could only get in and out with a wheelchair.
Recalling what happened a long time ago, Xu Jian took another sip of wine.
Lin Yunyan did not urge her, but just looked at him quietly, her clear and clear eyes reflected a layer of light brought by the oil lamp, as well as his figure.
The corners of Xu Jian's lips curved and she laughed.
The turbid air in her chest melted away with her smile, making Xu Jian feel a sense of relief.
"I tied up Li Shao," Xu Jian said.
It was a short sentence, but it was said very openly.
The content was a bit weird, and Lin Yunyan couldn't help but open her eyes wide and laugh out loud.
Xu Jian organized her thoughts and continued to talk about what happened that day.
When he woke up, Li Shao was gone.
Without any delay, Xu Jian only left a message to the general, took Shen Chen with him, and quickly left the customs.
He knew the general whereabouts of Li Shao and quickly found the person. He kidnapped the person without saying any nonsense.
Li Shao's followers were stunned and wanted to rush to save the prince, but Shen Chen knocked them to the ground one by one, so they behaved.
Xu Jian took the people back to the pass.
And because he knew the movements of the Xiliang group, he was very likely to plunder the town. He asked the general for troops and horses to go out to fight, beat back the enemy soldiers, and also learned the Xiliang people's back-up plan from the prisoners. .
The general is gearing up.
The prince is patrolling, and if there is more victory at the border, the Holy Emperor will be even more happy.
And if they take the advantage and set up an ambush in advance, they will definitely win a big victory.
"It is indeed a great victory. The people of Xiliang were caught off guard and had almost no power to fight back," Xu Jian said, paused, and then said, "Your Highness, you should not be underestimated."
Li Shao, who was left behind in the pass, escaped again.
He disguised himself as a soldier and followed him out secretly.
The two armies were fighting and he was in danger. Xu Jian found him in the crowd and injured his leg during the rescue. ..
"Nothing good would happen if we met him," Xu Jian laughed. "If I had known he was so dishonest, I couldn't just tie him up, I would have to knock him out."
Lin Yunyan frowned.
She knew that Xu Jian's injury was related to Li Shao, but she really never thought that Li Shao would come out of seclusion "over and over again."
What surprised Lin Yunyan was that Xu Jian's smile was very calm at the moment.
Regardless of what he said about "knocking him out", he was actually calm and calm, which was completely different from when he was eccentric and angry.
What makes Lin Yunyan even more confused is Xu Jian's "choice".
The person who kidnapped Li Shao was not really the sixteen-year-old Xu Jian. He had experienced life and death, and he knew how unreliable Li Shao was. How could Xu Jian, who was honed and well-behaved through hard work, let Li Shao do it? What about successfully exiting customs again?
Others didn't dare to touch a hair of Li Shao's body. Xu Jian had already been tied up, so why was he afraid of being tied more firmly?
With Xuan Su and Shen Chen staring at him, Li Shao would have no chance of escaping.
Why?
Just woke up and had a lot of things to do, and you couldn't care less about it?
That's not unreasonable.
However, vaguely, there is another feeling lingering in my heart.
what is it then?
It seems that she once heard Xu Jian say that she might be able to connect here...
"The wine is gone."
Lin Yunyan came to her senses after hearing the sound, and saw Xu Jian swinging the wine bottle, which was obviously empty.
Xu Jian called Shen Chen and asked him to refill the pot.
"Half a pot?" Lin Yunyan murmured subconsciously.
"Half a jug is enough, I don't want to drink more." After Shenchen closed the door and went out, Xu Jian leaned back on the chair, looked at Lin Yunyan with her deep eyes, and smiled casually, "The princess has not given up the idea of drinking?"
Lin Yunyan snorted lightly.
She wanted to hear what Xu Jian was going to arrange this time.
No result
Of course, this is not something to be obedient to.
"You're still greedy for alcohol at a young age, so hurry up and grow two years taller."
Lin Yunyan:......
Lin Yunyan, who was already full, was filled with anger.
