last time

Chapter 178 Departure
It was only in the middle of the night that Li Xunchuan reluctantly squinted for a while, and started preparing outside before he fell asleep completely.Shang Luoqiu wrapped his cloak and looked at the organized team on horseback in the dim light. Zuo Qiuhong and Tao Qianzhu followed Shang Luoqiu, showing their eyes in the armor.

Li Xunchuan knew that Shang Luoqiu didn't want him to go, and after listening to what Shang Luoqiu said last night, he also understood what Master was worried about, but there was no way, he would not push Beili into chaos, but he had to help Zhuo Ran .In fact, Shang Luoqiu will not stop him. In the current situation, Beili does not want to recognize Emperor Chengping as the master, and bears the provocative attack of the ancient Qiang people. Li Li would not agree to anyone.

Fortunately, there are forbidden troops.

Gu Zhao and Xi Yu took the forbidden army to Yongzhou, which spared Beili some things.But whether the imperial army should invest in Beili or stay with Zhuo Ran as a sharp weapon, Li Yunchuan hadn't fully figured it out yet.If you invest in Beili, Li Yanchuan must stay here and keep an eye on the movements of these people all the time. The forbidden army has followed Li Yanchuan for many years, and has long been accustomed to Li Yanchuan's orders. Not used to it.But if you follow Zhuo Ran, there are people from both the Zisha Hall and the Forbidden Army, and the complicated relationship will only increase Zhuo Ran's troubles. Besides, Zisha Hall is still a member of Queen Yu Jing. This is not a good thing for Zhuo Ran. Invisibly urging Zhuo Ran, Li Yuchuan didn't want them to hurt her.

So he is brooding.

If he can help Zhuo Ran win the Yongxin Tu Sanzhou this time, then he will naturally find a way to solve these matters.However, he still needs to discuss the details with Zhuo Ran face to face. Since Beili doesn't need him for the time being, he will go to Zhuo Ran first.

When Li Xunchuan stepped out of the tent, Shang Luoqiu had already taken people away, and Xiao Qijing was telling Xiong Zhenghao something, when he saw Li Xunchuan coming over, he was silent.Although Li Xunchuan didn't sleep well, he looked quite awake, Xiao Qijing patted him on the shoulder, thought for a while and said, "Master, he..."

"Brother-in-law," Li Yuchuan said softly, "I know."

Xiao Qijing nodded, and Li Yanchuan looked at Xiong Zhenghao, and said in a deep voice: "Before you were an eagle on the battlefield, and you followed me for so long and couldn't go up to play in person, this time you can fulfill your wish."

Xiong Zhengmo frowned: "Master Hou won't be with me..."

Xiao Qijing smiled, and said: "It's not time for Ah Yu to show his face, and Master Hou is going to find a wife, so you can stay in Beili and listen to me."

"Yes." Xiong Zhenghao nodded. Sure enough, Li Xunchuan had always been concerned about Zhuo Ran, but fortunately, Xiao Qijing was less ruthless and perverse than Li Xunchuan, and more calm and reliable. It would not be a loss for Xiong Zhenghao to follow Xiao Qijing.

"When will Lord Hou set off?"

Li Xunchuan thought for a while and said, "Hurry up. Be careful when you go to the northern border. If you don't have definite news, you can't act without authorization. If there is any situation, just ask Changying to send a message."

Xiao Qijing almost forgot to tell Xiong Zhenghao the method of Beili's communication, and Li Yanchuan only remembered it when he mentioned it, and then took Xiong Zhenghao to the back to understand the situation.Xiong Zhenghao felt that Xiao Qijing was honest, he said what he said, and he personally taught Xiong Zhenghao many things, and Xiong Zhenghao naturally understood that this was specifically mentioned by Li Yuchuan.

He is a fast learner and very attentive.

When Li Xunchuan returned to the camp, Xiao Ziyi was lying on the table writing, and Li Junyi was watching with his little daughter in his arms.Li Xunchuan lifted the curtain and went in, Xiao Ziyi just looked up at Li Xunchuan, and said softly, "Uncle is here."

"What are you writing?" Li Xunchuan sat opposite him. Xiao Ziyi was young but had strong wrists. He held the pen steadily and did not tremble at all. Li Xunchuan raised his eyes and looked at Li Junyi: "Who taught Yi'er? Look at that." It's not like your and brother-in-law's words."

Li Junyi smiled and said: "He figured it out by himself. Earlier, I thought about asking a master to call him, but we didn't care that he practiced according to the book, but it seems that the writing is really good. .”

Li Xunchuan shook his head: "It's really good, but I still feel that something is missing. Forget it, I will find a master for Yi'er to teach him in a few days, and I promise to teach him better, without even paying money."

Looking at his appearance, Li Junyi felt that Li Xunchuan was too shameless. She knew who Li Xunchuan was talking about, so she just said softly: "Don't teach Yier to be bad, how old is he?"

"What's wrong?" Li Xunchuan replaced Xiao Ziyi with a new rice paper, and said softly, "My wife is a talented woman from Yongzhou, and the Imperial Academy is the secretary of the Imperial College. Can you still teach him?"

Li Junyi stared at him, Xiao Ziyi put down his pen, with a look of surprise on his face: "Is uncle going to have a bride?"

Li Xunchuan nodded: "Yes, Yi'er, be good here. Uncle is going to find a new wife. Bring her to see you later and let her teach you these things, okay?"

"Is the bride good-looking?" Xiao Ziyi lifted his spirits, ran to Li Yuchuan's side and rubbed his arms in his arms, put his arms around his neck and said softly, "Is Yi'er going to call her aunt?"

Li Xunchuan thought about it, and Zheng nodded.

"If I can't learn it, will my aunt be angry?" Xiao Ziyi was picked up by Li Yanchuan and turned around a few times. When he saw Li Yanchuan shaking his head and telling him that the bride was very gentle, he started laughing, wanting to make a fuss to see her.

Li Junyi frowned slightly: "Be careful of the injury on your left arm."

"It's all right." Li Yanchuan supported Xiao Ziyi with his right arm, and turned upside down, "By the way, Yier, do you have anything interesting, can you lend me some, uncle is going to tease the bride."

Xiao Ziyi thought for a while, nodded his head heavily, Li Yuchuan put him down, and Xiao Ziyi ran to fetch him.Li Junyi smiled helplessly, and said angrily, "It's good for you, but you still want to grab Yi'er's toys. Those are the ones he said he would leave for Nian'er. As an uncle, you are really not big or small."

Li Xunchuan spread his hands: "At worst, I'll make him some toys as compensation, and when Yi'er is older, I'll teach him how to ride a horse."

Li Junyi lowered his eyes and smiled, Li Kenian was much more obedient than Xiao Ziyi, and he didn't like to cry, so he looked around with his round eyes open.When Li Xunchuan saw her, he thought of Chuyun, and Chuyun was a little younger than Li Kenian, so he wondered if he would be troubled by Zhuoran these days.

He stretched out his hand to hold Li Kenian's hand, and a finger was caught. He was thinking about Zhuo Ran, Xiao Ziyi rushed over excitedly, grabbed his robe and stood on tiptoe, holding a rabbit in both hands Show the puppet to Li Yuchuan.

"Rabbit?" Li Yuchuan took it, and he bent down and smiled at Xiao Ziyi, "It's really good, I like it."

Li Junyi smiled: "Isn't this your favorite puppet? Are you so willing to give it to my little uncle?"

Xiao Ziyi nodded: "Little uncle wants to bring the bride back to show Yi'er."

Li Xunchuan patted Xiao Ziyi's shoulder like Xiao Qijing patted his shoulder, and he smiled: "You're right, little uncle has to work harder."

Li Junyi looked at Li Yuchuan: "If you want to go to Yongzhou alone, you must take care of your injury first. You won't let the military doctor see it, but at least take care of it first, so as not to cause the root cause of the disease."

"How could it be?" Li Yanchuan straightened up, "I'm still young, this injury is nothing. By the way, sister, my brother-in-law took Xiong Zhenghao and said that he was showing him the things of our Beili Communication. He's been familiar with Chang Yi for the past few days."

"Chang Yi?" Li Junyi nodded, but had some doubts, "How do you know Chang Yi is still here?"

"The last time I saw Qi Du, I saw that he didn't bring Chang Yi with him. Ruofei played in the air for a while that night, and I saw him bully Chang Yi there. By the way, Chang Yi didn't have any flesh, and he was taller than Ruofei. How can it become a Saker if it is missing more than one star?"

Li Junyi sighed: "When Qi Du left, he didn't even think about taking it with him. He has grown a human nature, and his interest is naturally not as good as before. Your brother-in-law and I have thought of many ways, but there is no way."

Li Xunchuan thought for a while, and said: "Qi Du...I want Qi Du to come back again, this time I will go to Xiaqiu, and I will discuss it carefully with him when I come back."

"It's best if you can persuade him," Li Junyi sighed, "Your brother-in-law tried to persuade him many times before but he didn't let go. You have to think of a way."

Li Xunchuan nodded.Xiao Ziyi was still thinking about his aunt, and while the adults were talking, he drew a picture on paper. When Li Yanchuan was about to leave, Xiao Ziyi gave him the painting, saying that he could not let Li Yanchuan peek at it, but gave it to Zhuo Ran.

Li Xunchuan touched his head: "Yi'er, I haven't said how beautiful your aunt is, what if you don't like her when she comes back?"

"Yi'er, who my uncle likes, will also like it."

"That's not acceptable." Li Yanchuan curled his lips.

Li Junyi sighed, and pulled Xiao Ziyi to her side: "Okay, if you want to prepare anything, hurry up and go back early."

Li Xunchuan said seriously: "If I come back, there will definitely be a big change. But sister, I will not make fun of Beili, I will definitely come up with a better way. These days are going to be hard for sister and brother-in-law, In addition, Master, he..."

"Master is also on your side." Li Junyi said, "You must understand Master's thoughts, he will never distrust you, we will all respect your decision, but Ah Yu, you have to distinguish between priorities and don't act on your will .”

"I know." Li Yanchuan touched the rabbit's ears, "Don't worry, sister, if Master is still angry with me, please ask sister to coax Master more on behalf of Ah Yan."

Li Junyi smiled: "You just remembered Master? Sometimes you just follow him, don't be so playful."

Li Xunchuan nodded.

***
After the fight with Li Xunchuan that day, it was the tattoo that carried Yeno back to the camp. Yeno was injured in the chest and fell into a coma for a long time before waking up.Tattoos waited outside the camp for several hours, and they didn't dare to act without Jeno's order. They just passed the news to Bayer, hoping to let him come here to help.

But no reply.

You Si was still staring at Jeno's medicine, for fear that the fire would go out.The weather is very cold, and the supply of food and grass here is quite sufficient, but if you spend more time, you will not be able to support it one day.Ye Nuo was still in a coma, if Li Xun Chuan attacked him unexpectedly, it would be even worse.

Seeing that the medicine was almost boiled, You Si took it to Jeno. When he got out of the big tent, he found that it was snowing. Although it was not big, pieces of snowflakes were blowing in with the wind. You Si leaned over to protect the medicine bowl, The tattoo opened the curtain for him.

"Thank you, Deputy General." You Si nodded slightly, and the tattoo followed him into the big tent.

Ye Nuo has not yet escaped from the dream, the Qiye Lake is frozen, he had a great time playing with his beloved girl on the ice, listening to her tell the ancient love story of Gu Qiang, holding her against the cold.

It was a sweet dream, and Jeno didn't want to come back.The tattoo was too strong, so he opened his mouth and poured the medicine completely. You Si frowned aside, and took the veil to wipe Yeno's sweat.

"Call the doctor again," the tattoo spoke quickly, and You Si was stunned for a moment, before listening to him continue, "See if you can wake up Mu Duzhi."

You Si answered yes.After he stepped out for a short while, he came over with Bayer's instructions.Tattoo immediately straightened up, took the letter with both hands, spread out a piece of paper with eloquent ancient Qiang characters, and tattoo frowned slightly.

"give it to me."

You Si opened his eyes wide and exclaimed in surprise, "Mudu Zhi!"

Jeno half stood up, and Tattoo hurriedly stepped forward to hold his arm, Jeno stretched out his finger to take the letter, and said, "I'm fine now."

He looked down at Bayer's order, and the tattoo frowned on the side. He said: "Mu Duzhi, what does General Bayer want to do? If he doesn't send troops to help, the champion Hou will definitely take advantage of the victory and pursue it."

"Bayer..." Yeno slowed down, "Bayer is at the border now."

Tattoo frowned slightly: "Border? Aren't they coming to Beili?"

"If my predictions are correct, he wants to take the border and pull the defense line of the Pingxi mountain stream all the way there. If it goes well, he will unite with the ancient Qiang people in the three prefectures of Yongxintu and naturally take back the west of the Wuming Mountain." Jeno Sighing, "Bayer did a good job. He led Li Xunchuan to Beili. When the matter is completed on his side, Beili will be in his pocket."

You Si arranged the cushions on the couch, and Jeno leaned on the pillow, and handed the letter to You Si to burn.The tattoo didn't speak, Yeno shook his head and said, "Emperor Dayu has been changed, Bayer took the order of Agamula to continue to take Dayu down, just like Argus did."

"Should we continue to fight?" Tattoo said, "Mu Duzhi's injury needs to be taken care of."

Ye Nuo said in a deep voice: "Champion Hou is also injured this time, Da Yize and Yuqiu also need their treatment, we will rest for a few days. I just hope Bayer can move faster, time is really running out. "

The tattoo leaned over slightly: "We will follow Muduzhi's orders."

"Tattoos," Yeno raised his eyes, "I'm fine now, you let the injured person take care of it, don't do anything for now."

Tattoo nodded and went down.You Si added a quilt to Jeno. He cried for a long time in the past few days, fearing that Jeno would never wake up again. Seeing that Jeno was fine, he felt relieved for a while, but he was still very sad.

Yeno looked at You Si lowered his head and wiped his tears, and said softly, "You Si, what's wrong with you."

Yusi shook his head.

"This time..." Jeno frowned, "I'm sorry for you, I didn't do it, and I can't take you home, don't be sad."

You Si looked up at him, his eyes filled with tears, and he shook his head vigorously: "I'm not sad, as long as Mu Duzhi agrees to take me home, I know Mu Duzhi won't lie to me, I'm not sad. It's just Mu Duzhi was injured, and You Si was very scared..."

Jeno sighed deeply: "Actually, I can also not be injured, but when I was on the battlefield, I suddenly thought of Qi Ye. I missed her so much, so my mind was confused."

"Sister Xi Ye doesn't want Mu Duzhi to get hurt..." You Si choked up, "I shouldn't have said those things to Mu Duzhi, Yu Si knew I was wrong."

"Okay Yus," Yeno said softly, "I'm not feeling bad, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to blame yourself. Qi Ye is reminding me that maybe Bayer did something wrong, and I will never be able to beat the champion Hou, just like Qi Ye will never come back."

You Si lowered his eyes.

Jeno smiled: "However, since Bayer said so, then we will follow suit. You Si, go and have a good rest with the tattoo, and deal with the rest of the matter."

"Yes."

***
Peng Ge has been getting used to Ye Baiqi for a long time these days, and he has become familiar with Zhe Shicuo after a few days of fighting.He didn't plan to go back to Gaodu, but found another kind of fun at the border. Ye Baiqi was kind, and the two of them fought side by side, and they developed a lot of tacit understanding.

Snow fell on the border, too.

Peng Ge couldn't catch the snowflakes in his palm, he rubbed the wetness in his palm, and smiled at Ye Baiqi: "General Zhonglang, the snow on the border is really small, it doesn't look good at all."

"It's been like this all these years." Ye Baiqi was still tying ropes around his arms, and raised his head upon hearing this, "If you want to enjoy the snow, you might as well go to Xinzhou Meilin, it's a must."

Peng Ge shook his head: "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"By the way, it's almost Chinese New Year, why don't you send a letter to Xiqi?" Peng Ge shook his body, "General Ye has already returned to Xiqi, in fact, you don't need to stay here, go home How nice."

Ye Baiqi said: "What are you going back for? The matter here has not been resolved. Besides, if I leave, can you take Zhe Shicuo? Isn't the Fengyang Department staring at this place for two days? If we leave, The border and the three states of Yongxintu will definitely not be easy."

"General Zhonglang really values ​​love and righteousness." Peng Ge nodded, "I don't want to be involved in those things anyway, so I might as well stay by your side and help you, just fooling around."

Ye Baiqi smiled: "You are honest."

"By the way," Peng Ge walked up to him and said softly, "Bayer and Agamula went to Beili, but there was no news from there. Did they fight or not?"

Ye Baiqi said: "I heard that Ah Yu has returned to Beili. If Agamula finds out, he will find a good way to attack Beili. If there is no news, it means they are still thinking. But I always feel that Something is wrong, Agamula is so calm, and he has endured it for such a long time."

"Of course Agamula and Baier won't be so impatient," Peng Ge said, "They have to figure out who the Marquis is. But they've made rapid progress over the years, and I'm afraid Beili won't be able to stand up to them." .”

Ye Baiqi stood up: "That's why you underestimated Ah Yan, he can always surprise you."
