Is the prince jealous today?

Knowing that Qi Jian entered the palace overnight, Liu Yi put on her clothes and went out.Xiaosi naturally couldn't stop him, and he didn't particularly want to stop him.

But before he reached the gate of Qi Mansion, Liu Yi suddenly heard a few strange bird calls in the flowers not far away.Following the sound, he vaguely saw a familiar black figure.

At this time, it wasn't an appointment time, why did Ye Yi slip into Qi's mansion and hide in the grass?In a dazed effort, Yeyi threw down a piece of paper and dodged into the night.

Liu Yi: ...If I had known earlier, I would have called a strong man to stop.

Looking at the empty grass, Liu Yi sighed helplessly, walked over to pick up the paper, maybe it happened suddenly, this time there were only a few words written on the paper, saying that there was news from Longnan.

The word Longnan was like a heavy hammer, firmly pressed against Liu Yi's heart, no matter how much he wanted to go to the palace gate to find someone, he couldn't take a step.

Holding the thin paper, he hesitated again and again, then turned to Xiao Si and said, "I have something to do, let's go out first."

"Young Master Liu, are you not going to pick up your son outside the palace?" Xiaosi asked.

Liu Yi shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, you can send someone to deliver a cloak to him."

Arriving at the pre-appointed spot, Liu Yi imitated three partridge crows, Ye Yi quietly emerged from the night.

"What's the news?" Liu Yi was obviously anxious, her voice was higher than usual.

Ye Yi could hear his eagerness, and said the conclusion first: "Master, don't worry, it's good news."

Liu Yi let out a long breath, and let go of the hand holding the paper: "I can't, the Qiang and Di army retreated, right?"

"That's not true." Ye Yi smiled honestly, "But General Liu waited for reinforcements."

"Reinforcements?" Liu Yi was slightly taken aback, thinking of something, her voice was a little unsteady, "What reinforcements? There was no order from the court, let alone any reinforcements."

Ye Yi also felt that this incident was a bit strange, but it was a good thing for the master and the Liu family to be able to wait for reinforcements.

"I heard about this at the mansion. It is said that in the northern army, someone led soldiers out of the camp for drills. They accidentally found clues of the enemy army and followed the clues to attack Longnan."

north?Qi Jian once said that he has someone in the army, and since he was a child, he has been stationed in the northern border with King Qi.Thinking of this, Liu Yi pursed her lips and remained silent.

Ye Yi continued on his own: "However, it's really a coincidence. When General Liu was trapped in Longnan and was in a stalemate, the team of troops suddenly appeared, caught the enemy by surprise, and happened to bring a lot of food and grass. General Liu is in urgent need of food and grass."

While talking, Ye Yi became suspicious: "With a large amount of food and grass, we headed straight to Longnan right after leaving the camp. This is not quite like leaving the camp for drills, but rather, rushing to save people?"

The voice became lower and lower, Ye kept looking at Liu Yi, his eyes were full of admiration: "Could it be that these people were sent by you, master?"

"If only I had the ability, it would be great." Liu Yi sighed, tilting his head and rubbing his eyes.

Who sent this group of people, you don't need to think about it, but Wuzhi dispatched troops without authorization, did Qi Jian want to die?What's more, the emperor has already moved the idea of ​​letting him lead the army. According to the analysis of the two of them in the past few days, the imperial edict will be issued by tomorrow at the latest.

After issuing the imperial decree, he took the Shangheli book and the tiger talisman, and led his troops to travel day and night. Longnan is much closer than Shu, and it can be reached within ten days.

In these ten days, no matter how scarce food and grass are, there will be no shortage. Why did Qi Jian take the risk of sending troops, and why did he enter the palace overnight?

He was able to send troops to deliver food and grass without telling himself, could it be that he also did other actions without telling himself?Slightly shocked in his heart, Liu Yi frowned and thought for a moment, then hurried back to Qi Mansion.

Seeing the gate of Qi Mansion from a distance, Liu Yi's heart trembled. The gate of Qi Mansion, which should be quiet, was brightly lit, and besides Qi Jian's carriage, there was another carriage. The sword is neat and mighty.

He turned over and got off the horse, passed by the carriage, and glanced casually, there was no one in the carriage.Going around the carriage and entering the mansion, Liu Yi grabbed someone casually and asked where Xiaosi was.

He tiptoed into the main courtyard. Luckily, Xiaosi didn't wait in the main hall or bedroom, but squatted beside the courtyard gate, pulling the grass stalks with a sad face.

Seeing Liu Yi, he quickly stood up, and before he could say a word, Liu Yi covered his mouth tightly and quickly pulled him aside.After confirming that he won't shout, Liu Yi let go of his hand and cut straight to the point: "I want to see Zhiwen's latest secret letter."

Xiaosi shrank his pupils sharply, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "Didn't Mr. Liu read it?"

Liu Yi squinted her eyes and said in a cold voice, "I'm talking about the latest one."

Xiaosi's face changed slightly, but he still didn't change his words: "Mr. Liu, you have already seen it."

"It's not the one that found the traces of the Liu family's army in Longnan, nor is it the reply to send reinforcements to Longnan. What I want is another one." Liu Yi's fingertips trembled twice, he clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice, "Yes That letter, privately transferred to the Northern Army's reply letter."

Xiaosi raised his head in astonishment, his eyes widened.

Seeing his expression, Liu Yi knew that she guessed right: "The advance troops have arrived in Longnan, what's next? The army that cut in from behind and besieged Longnan, where is it now?"

"This?" Xiaosi wiped the sweat from his palms on his trouser legs, wondering whether he should speak or not.

"You really want Qi Jian to die?" Liu Yi's voice rose, and then immediately suppressed it.

Trying to suppress his anxiety, he tried to persuade: "Secretly mobilizing the army is tantamount to conspiracy. If I guessed correctly, the father-in-law who delivered the decree is sitting in the main hall?"

Xiaosi hung his head and played dead.

"And that father-in-law, besides the imperial decree, also has a tiger charm." Liu Yi's voice became lower and lower, and when he spoke, he bit his lip and slowly closed his eyes.

Qi Jian begged for the Tiger Talisman overnight, and if she was sure that she would get the Tiger Talisman, she must be in a hurry to recruit soldiers and try to set off early tomorrow morning.

This time is poor, but it's really good.

Even if the news from Longnan came to the palace tomorrow and he had already left the capital, besides the news, whether it was big or small, the emperor would not recall the soldiers because of this undecided matter.

After a few more days, the army stationed in the north left the camp without authorization to march westward, one after the other, and passed the news of the death of the Qiang and Di troops into the palace. The well-handled Longnan, the safe and sound father, and the military merits he earned for nothing.

At that time, He Lishu was in hand, military service was in hand, and the Liu family had just entered Beijing to report their duties, so they didn't have to enter Beijing for five years.The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, no matter how suspicious and angry the emperor is, he can't ignore the ancestral precepts and call the Liu family back to Beijing.

Who will bear these doubts and anger?Who will bear the responsibility for arbitrarily dispatching troops and generals?Liu Yi pressed her chest that was getting more and more painful, and took a deep breath: "Xiaosi, let me ask you, how many lives does Qi Jian have?"

Xiaosi was stunned, then knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed heavily: "Mr. Liu, please, please..."

Liu Yi pulled him up and pointed to the main hall with his eyes: "Is he in there too?"

Xiaosi shook his head, with a crying voice: "Only the prince is inside, and the prince went to the greenhouse."

Hearing the word "greenhouse", Liu Yi's heart seemed to turn over, her internal organs ached from being pulled, she wished she could fly to the greenhouse and drag him out.

But Wang Gonggong was still waiting in the main hall, Liu Yi could only pat his cheeks, calm his mind, and go to the main hall to settle the matter first.

Wang Gonggong saw Liu Yi, got up to pay his respects, took out Daoming's yellow imperial decree, together with the imperial decree, there was also Feng Heli's letter: "Your servant is ordered to ask for the emperor, has the princess thought about it?"

Liu Yi lowered her eyes and nodded.

"The emperor said that in the warm pavilion yesterday, the concubine Shi Zi heard that she must reconcile first when sending troops, and she didn't give an accurate word. If you think about it now, please put your fingerprint on the reconciliation letter."

Putting He Li's book on the case table, the prince took out another item from the brocade box: "After the imperial concubine presses her fingerprints, this tiger amulet and imperial decree will belong to you."

Liu Yi smiled slowly: "As long as I press my fingerprints, I will be able to lead troops out to solve my father's urgent needs? After that, continue to stay with my parents in Western Shu?"

The prince answered yes.

Liu Yi's eyes fell, and on the crumpled He Li book, she recognized Qi Jian's handwriting.This is the second time I have met this He Li Shu, Liu Yi thought happily in bitterness, Qi Jian is really stingy, even He Li Shu is not willing to write another neat letter.

"Consort Shi, please." Wang Gonggong took the printing pad from the side, and gently opened the cover.

The red ink pad was as bright as blood, Liu Yi took a look at it and turned his head.

The prince sent the printing pad forward, and he was bound to win it.Everyone knows what the Tiger Talisman means to a general.What's more, General Liu is still trapped in Longnan, and Liu Youchen will definitely press this handprint out of emotion and reason.

Liu Yi glanced at the printing pad again, took it over, was silent for a moment, then gently closed the lid: "I'm afraid Youchen is going to disappoint the emperor's love."

Around the flower house, there are towering walls, above which there is only a small door.

Liu Yi pushed open the small door, and held a lantern to shine a light inside. The tall and low plants were connected together, and the moonlight poured down from the roof, bright and clean.

Under the silvery moonlight like a waterfall, he didn't see anyone. He tried to call Qi Jian, but only heard an empty echo.

A greenhouse is definitely not just a greenhouse, is there another secret room?Then Qi Jian, will she be hiding in the secret room?But where is this secret room?Liu Yi thought anxiously, as the old saying goes, if a daughter-in-law is found with a lantern, isn't she looking for a daughter-in-law with a lantern?

However, it's really hard to say who is the daughter-in-law.Shaking his head, Liu Yi blew out the lantern and placed it outside the door, then lifted his foot gently, and stepped into the greenhouse.

Usually, there must be some opening mechanism in the secret room. He tried to walk in, knocking left and right on the wall. Before he could find the mechanism, he smelled a faint smell of wine.

As the footsteps deepened, the aroma of the wine became stronger and stronger. Following the aroma of the wine, Liu Yi finally saw a black figure in an extremely hidden corner.

With black iron neck guard, black iron arm brace, black leather boots with cloud head, Qi Jian is dressed in black military uniform, standing under the moonlight, holding a wine jar in his arms.
