A few days later, the emperor was furious again in the court.The reason is that the Mongolian army entered from Gubeikou, and successively killed and plundered countless officials and people in Huairou and Shunyi.The previous plan was leaked, and the reinforcements were attacked by the enemy halfway, and almost the entire army was wiped out.No one knows who leaked the news.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one dared to answer.
Li Gexiao and others felt strange, there were only a few of them in the palace, how could anyone know their plan?
Could it be that there are ghosts in the army?
While discussing this matter, I heard a report from the guard outside: "Young Master Qi, are you back?"
Xiaomei then opened the door, and Qi Xijin really came back.Seeing this, Qi Xijin carefully asked: "Is it not the right time for me to come back?"
Xiaomei changed the topic: "Are you off work today?"
Qi Xijin chuckled: "Yes, the boss has something to do, let us come back first. You have something to do, then I will go back to the room first."
Xiaomei nodded.Want to close the door.Li Ge said with a smile: "Today we should not discuss any more. Tomorrow, the prince and I will go to Mr. Xu's residence."
Several people nodded one after another, doing their own duties.Xiaomei went back to the house and opened the book on the art of disguise. He has been secretly investigating the fact that he was impersonated recently. At the beginning of the poisoning, he did have a hazy consciousness. , When he regained consciousness again, he was already in an unknown hell.At first he couldn't move, but someone always brought him food.Besides, he always felt that that person was always by his side, neither speaking nor harming.When he got better, he ushered in the cruel training.
Xiaomei took a breath, put aside those cruel scenes, and speculated: she must have been taken away in a coma, and the person most likely to take her away was the fake master Yunhe invited. Who else could have disguised himself besides him?There has never been such a person in the rivers and lakes.Later, he pretended to be himself, which must be because he knew himself very well, and even if he got along day and night, he might be flawless.Familiar with Master and your own people at the same time?
Xiaomei felt uneasy, could it be...
Hearing footsteps outside the house, Xiaomei put away the secrets of disguise, opened a book and put it on the table.
Yunhe brought some snacks and walked over with his head held high.If it wasn't for Qi Xijin's sudden return, he wouldn't have such a leisurely moment.
Seeing that it was Yunhe, Xiaomei laughed and teased: "My lord is free these few days."
Yunhe sat directly next to him: "Sneak free. What book?"
Xiaomei just looked down and just turned to Li Yu's words.
Yunhe also joked: "How do you read Li Yu's words? Shouldn't you read Wen Tianxiang and Xin Qiji now?"
Xiaomei shot back: "Is it okay for me to touch poetry and hurt my feelings?"
"Yes, why not." Yunhe kept his eyes on Xiaomei, and he hadn't seen Xiaomei smiling for a long time. He was very happy, and then sighed, "I'm afraid of reading Li Yu's words. Huan...unlimited country, sometimes easy to meet but difficult to see..."
Xiaomei hurriedly interrupted him: "Okay, stop reading. We won't lose. I'll read another one." As she closed the book, she raised her head and met Shang Yunhe's affectionate eyes. After quarreling, losing, and regaining each other, some feelings seem to be deeply rooted in the dark, and they can meet without words.
Yunhe was a little flattered, and said affectionately: "Xiaomei, this is the first time you have considered my feelings, do you know how happy I am?"
Xiaomei replied with a smile: "I'm not a child, so I know exactly what to do when. I believe that you and Brother Ge will not let Daming fail."
Yunhe was ecstatic: "You really believe me?"
"I have to believe in you. I still want to live a good life. If I don't believe in you, I won't have a pure land of peace and happiness."
Yunhe suddenly felt that he couldn't laugh or cry.This He Xiaomei, what should he do with him?
In the blink of an eye, Xiaomei really changed the copy of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", Yunhe naturally got closer and closer, and Xiaomei didn't reject it, as if she was used to the two being so close.Xiaomei didn't read many military books, and she didn't understand many parts very well. Yunhe explained them one by one, and occasionally made a joke, which made Xiaomei laugh endlessly.
As the night gradually rose, the moon quietly poked its face out from the clouds, and the bright light coated the entire palace with a layer of silver light. The candlelight flickered in it, making it more ambiguous and warm.
Yunhe played tricks on Xiaomei: "Why don't I leave?"
Xiaomei looked at him with a smile, and asked, "What do you think?"
Yunhe also smiled: "I think, yes."
"That's weird."
Yunhe moved closer to Xiaomei's ear, and said ambiguously, "Really, I miss you so much."
Xiaomei couldn't help but blushed, she hurriedly backed away, and said angrily, "It's really shameless."
Yunhe laughed and teased: "You actually understand what I'm talking about?"
Xiaomei didn't know how to answer for a while, her face became more flushed, she just hesitated and said: "I don't know, what are you talking about. Anyway, I can't do it. It's getting dark, you hurry up."
With a sullen face, Yunhe leaned forward and hugged Xiaomei, pretending to kiss her, but Xiaomei still refused to let her go, and stretched out her hand to push her back. Yunhe was about to "force her" when there was a knock on the door.
When Qi Xijin came to visit, Xiaomei was surprised: "Why are you here?"
Qi Xijin said with a smile: "Want to come and see you, brother? Are you discussing something with the prince?"
"It's nothing serious."
Yunhe looked at Qi Xijin, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said, "Then you talk." He left with a flick of his sleeves.
Qi Xijin only looked at the back of Yunhe going away, and the hands in his sleeves trembled slightly.Xiaomei asked in surprise, "Are you okay?"
Qixi Jinfang came back to his senses, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, tell me, what kind of person am I in your heart?"
"Why ask this?"
Qi Xijin felt a little dissatisfied, and said aggrievedly: "Senior brother, why are you so indifferent to me? You are not like this to the prince. I can see that you are all hiding things from me. Don't tell me it is for my own good. I know that I am useless, but I also want to contribute. I also know about the war at the border, and I won’t say anything if you tell me, but you avoid me like this.”
Xiaomei admitted that everyone really wanted to avoid him, but he didn't know how to tell this "unknown" junior brother that he had been walking in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he more or less understood the truth of "knowing people, knowing faces, not knowing their hearts". The current situation cannot be sloppy.He hadn't seen him for many years, and he was also very fond of this junior, but he felt that there was always a barrier between the two of them, and they would talk about everything without talking for a long time.What's more, he already had some doubts...he just said something else: "Don't think too much about it, things in the world are simpler and you will live happier."
Qi Xijin smiled reluctantly, and said in silence for a while: "Okay, I understand. I really shouldn't stay here anymore."
Xiaomei persuaded: "You just got an income, now you leave, where are you going?"
Qi Xijin said in a low voice, "Anyway, I'm used to wandering."
Xiaomei stayed again: "We won't be going out for a while, so why not wait a little longer."
Qi Xijin agreed to stay.
