The king is the guide of the ministers

A normal man is a man who is always in need.So in a few days, Liu Ci couldn't bear it anymore, and the baby didn't know what was going on, even if he took the initiative to "hook up" the child's father, the baby would still cry and fuss.

The two people who had been going back and forth, and couldn't help it, were now reduced to hiding in a corner to "have an affair" by taking advantage of the time when the baby was not around after retreating from the imperial court.

This time, when Xuanyuan Lingye and Liu Ci were kissing until the sky was dark, Yan Yilan bumped into him.

Yan Yilan opened her eyes wide and looked at the two kissing passionately in the imperial garden, but unconsciously found that she also had a reaction.

Sensing the strange gaze, Xuanyuan Lingye and Liu Ci stopped, and they also saw Yan Yilan. "Why is he here! Didn't it mean that he kept himself locked in the house and refused to go out?" Liu Ci frowned slightly.

Xuanyuan Lingye pulled Liu Ci into his arms, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about him, let's continue!"

Yan Yilan looked at the closeness of the two of them, but felt a little puzzled.Obviously Liu Xiang was sacrificed by Xuanyuan Lingye that day, but why is Xuanyuan Lingye still with him now?

Seeing that Yan Yilan refused to leave, Xuanyuan Lingye frowned, and Liu Ci hooked Xuanyuan Lingye's neck, and whispered in his ear: "I want to go and have a word with him, you go back Wait for me."

Xuanyuan Lingye looked at Yan Yilan, and then said to Liu Ci: "Just talk to him here, I'll go sit in the pavilion over there and wait for you."

"Well, good." After Xuanyuan Lingye walked away, Liu Ci smiled and walked towards Yan Yilan: "Mr. Lan, are you okay?"

Being called Mr. Lan, Yan Yilan was a little surprised. He looked at Liu Ci for a while, remembered what happened just now, and sarcastically said: "Unexpectedly, Uncle Guo really has an shady relationship with His Majesty!"

Liu Ci said, "Are you planning to stay in Dongting like this?"

Yan Yilan didn't speak, he didn't want to stay here at all now.He had completely given up on Xuanyuan Lingye.But he didn't complete the task Yan Yiqing gave him, so he dared to go back.

Seeing that he didn't answer her own question, Liu Ci also knew that he had something to hide.

"Would you mind walking with me?" Liu Ci smiled at him.

"Eh?" Yan Yilan was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Liu Ci in bewilderment.The wound on Liu Ci's face has healed, it may be because of the kiss with Xuanyuan Lingye just now, so her face is still pink.

Yan Yilan looked away angrily: "I don't have that much time to spare!"

Liu Ci ignored him, stretched out his hand and pulled a leaf to play with: "Mr. Lan has the life he wants?"

Yan Yilan still didn't answer Liu Ci's question, but he was thinking about the answer to this question.Do you really have the life you want?He only knew that he had been following Yan Yiqing's ass since he was a child, and he would do whatever Yan Yiqing asked him to do.

Perhaps, before that, wanting to be with Xuanyuan Lingye might be the only thing he wanted to do.

And now... Yan Yilan smiled sadly, she really didn't have any thoughts.

"Actually, I never thought that I would live this kind of life. To be honest, I still haven't adjusted to it. I still like freedom in my bones." Liu Ci looked at Xuanyuan Lingye in the pavilion not far away, and smiled. Laugh: "If you gain something, you must lose it. How can life be so perfect."

In Liu Ci's eyes, Yan Yilan suddenly understood one thing.

The two of them seem to be very in love with each other, but since they love each other so much, why did Xuanyuan Lingye marry that girl again?

"I don't understand." Yan Yilan said softly: "If you like someone or something, since you like it, then try your best to get it. Talking about gains and losses here, it's so boring!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ci smiled and said, "Maybe!"

Suddenly, Liu Ci turned to look at Yan Yilan, restrained his smile, and said, "Mr. Lan, what is the purpose of you coming to Dongting this time? I don't think you can hide here for the rest of your life. You have to face it. You have to face it. You can't escape!"

Yan Yilan's face turned pale all of a sudden, why didn't he understand it himself.

"You don't need to worry about it!" Leaving this sentence behind, Yan Yilan desperately wanted to escape from here.

Liu Ci didn't stop him, and let him leave in a panic.Liu Ci has gained something, he feels that Yan Yilan doesn't seem to reject him very much, and it also proves that Yan Yiqing really has other plans.

But what exactly is that?For Xuanyuan Lingye?Not quite!

Recalling Yan Yiqing's eyeliner in Dongting, and even his people in Motianling, this Yan Yiqing really cannot be underestimated.

"Finished?" Xuanyuan Lingye came behind Liu Ciwu when he was in a daze, and hugged him.

"Well, I have been thinking about what Yan Yiqing wants to do. He is only as old as you, but why can he install so many forces in Dongting! You probably can't do this. Other countries." Liu Ci said.

Xuanyuan Lingye laughed softly: "Yan Yiqing is just a prince, how much ability do you think he will have?"

"But..." Liu Ci frowned slightly, Xuanyuan Lingye was right, she had ignored this issue.

"Liu Ci." "Huh?" "A long period of time will be spent in the flames of war. Are you afraid?"

Xuanyuan Lingye turned Liu Ci's body so that he faced her.The war has now begun, and Dongting will be bloody.Liu Ci looked at Xuanyuan Lingye, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of! As I said before, although peace and prosperity are good, troubled times are also good!"

"You, it's still the same fear that the world will not be chaotic!" Thinking of this person who is always full of weird thoughts, Xuanyuan Lingye couldn't help laughing.

Chapter 212: That Bowl of Beef Soup

Tianxuan 3450, winter.

Day after day, the new wind picked up, and the surrounding area was covered with dense clouds, and it had been snowing heavily for several days.

King Jing and the coalition forces of many southern vassal states have also risen up, and the south of Dongting Kingdom is full of gunpowder and war, and there is no peace.The rumors spread maliciously by someone put all the civil and military officials in the imperial city at risk.

Liu Ci stood on the waterside pavilion wearing a cloak, the jade statue was covered with a thin layer of ice, looking at the frozen lanterns in the pool, Liu Ci put his hands together, closed his eyes and prayed that Dong Ting's coup would be quelled as soon as possible , I also pray that this war will not cause great harm to innocent people.

Just as Liu Ci was praying devoutly, Xuanyuan Lingye, dressed in a black emperor's attire, walked over on the chaotic jade.

"It's cold outside, let's go inside."

Xuanyuan Lingye stretched out both hands to tightly cover Liu Ci's hands that were frozen red, breathing hot air while rubbing his hands.

Liu Ci's heart warmed up, how many people in this world can treat him like this?

"I'm not cold, let's go back."

Back in Luochen Hall, Xiaobai brought a charcoal brazier and a copper stove for warming hands, Xuanyuan Lingye stuffed the small copper stove into Liu Ci's sleeve, and then asked Xiaobai to make some warm soup.

"How's the war in the south going?" Liu Ci asked.

Xuanyuan Lingye fiddled with the charcoal fire in the basin, and said: "The two sides have been at a stalemate. After spending a long time on the Youshui River, there is no progress. The south is densely covered with water, and our Dongting imperial court's army is not good at that kind of battle. Fight on terrain."

Liu Ci listened carefully, and he also knew that Xuanyuan Lingye and Siye's armies were used to fighting in the open areas of the central and northern regions. If the terrain in the south is not open, they would not be able to use it at all, and they could support it until now. , is already very good.

However, food and grass cannot be consumed, and the supply of armaments is a big problem.And at the same time, it has been a long time, and the patience of the soldiers cannot be exhausted.

Homesickness and various bad emotions will increase day by day, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Then it will lure the enemy deep and bring them to the central part." Liu Ci said after a moment of silence.

Xuanyuan Lingye didn't make a sound, he was weighing Liu Ci's suggestion.Putting the joint rebel army in the center undoubtedly added danger to itself.But at the same time, it became the other party's expedition.This is a half-and-half.

"First lure the enemy to go deep, and then find a way to make them fight each other. At that time, we only need to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Liu Ci felt that those who conspired with King Jing would definitely be weak-willed, as long as they took advantage of these people's loopholes, the allied army would be disintegrated very quickly.It is more efficient to concentrate troops to defeat them individually than to wipe them all out.

Xuanyuan Lingye nodded slightly and said: "But none of the civil servants in the court is willing to be this precarious lobbyist."

Liu Ci's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stared straight at Xuanyuan Lingye.Xuanyuan Lingye met his gaze, but twitched her eyebrows: "Don't tell me, do you want to go?"

"Who else but me!" Liu Ci excitedly said.

Xuanyuan Lingye frowned and shook his head, no matter what Liu Ci said, he just didn't agree.

"I'm just making an unannounced visit, so there shouldn't be any problem!" Liu Ci said.

Xuanyuan Lingye still insisted on his opinion, he would not let Liu Ci go deep into the enemy's camp to take this risk.

"If after another three days there is still no progress on Siye's side, I will decide to go to Youshui myself. After I leave, you and Congmo will share more about the court affairs."

Although Liu Ci's method is good, the central area and the large area near the imperial city have relatively stabilized after the previous wars.If the flames of war are extended here again, I am afraid that all the soldiers and civilians will not be able to bear it.

"I'll go with you!" Liu Ci felt that even if he didn't stay in the imperial court now, there would be no major problems.

The army is in the hands of Xuanyuan Lingye, and those people have no way to rebel even if they want to rebel.
