After Hua Qianyu finished his statement, Peng Yuan replied with a serious face: "He wants Daning's soldiers, so he will exchange their sweaty heads."

Hua Qianyu was about to speak again, when someone shouted outside the tent, and he looked towards the source of the sound.Through the tarpaulin, he couldn't see the scene outside, he walked out, saw the soldiers surrounded Le Yang, stopped him, and then led Le Yang into the tent before Le Yang could express anything.

"If you're curious, just come in." Hua Qianyu said.

Peng Yuan thought it inappropriate to let mere pawns participate in the discussion, but before he could speak, Hua Qianyu stepped into the topic: "Le Liyou brought not only a contract, but also the second son of Irbu Khan. And himself—both of them will be our hostages." Le Liyou was not unprepared, he gave a bargaining chip to win trust in the letter with the translation.

"The prince is easy to talk about, so what qualifications does he have to be a hostage?"

"He is the younger brother of Philo Khan."

Peng Yuan's face changed when he heard the words: "You just let such a person bring our army's intelligence to the Turks? Just let him lie to our army to help his brother seize power and get the emperor to endorse it? If he had to cross the river and demolish the bridge, ten thousand elite soldiers would be lost in vain. Life, can you be responsible for such consequences?"

Fortunately, Hua Qianyu suspected that Le Liyou became the enemy's staff officer and only discussed it with An Mingyang, and An Mingyang never mentioned it to Peng Yuan, otherwise it would be even more difficult for Peng Yuan to be persuaded by him.

"There are 20 soldiers stationed on the border of Yinshan. If you kill [-] and attack the city, you will be able to win? In order to assist in the battle, he even showed the power behind him to other Khans. His Majesty intends to end the war, but has no intention of continuing to expand the country. There are rolling mountains between Daning and Turks as barriers. It is the safest choice.

"The barbarians have no credibility, how long can the false peace last?"

"Combining foreign enemies, killing the king and seizing power, there must be bloody battles between factions, and you can't take care of yourself. How can you have the leisure to invade the borders of other countries? What's more, the Turks have changed their masters, and the new ruler's behavior is somewhat different from his predecessor. Advocate, why not do it?" Le Liyou took this into consideration, and stated in his letter that Ba Yetuo was gentle in things, and even opposed Qiong Ali's breach of contract and marching, but in Peng Yuan's mind, Le Liyou was Ba Yetuo's claim As a guest, Hua Qianyu judged to relay Le Liyou's judgment, and Peng Yuan would even suspect that there was fraud in it.

"Then," Peng Yuan retracted his chin, raised his upper eyelids and stared at Hua Qianyu, "who should lead the [-] cavalry?"

Hua Qianyu raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and said calmly: "Qianyu. It's just that after the victory, Daning needs to sign a treaty with Feiluo Khan in front of all the khans. This requires the permission of the emperor."

"It's easy to say, what if you lose? To die in his civil war is what you want?"

"Yu is fighting for Ning... Even though he died nine times, he still has no regrets."

Peng Yuan's expression became more gloomy: "I'll go, you're too young to convince the public."

"But you are the coach, how can the coach leave his post without permission and personally participate in other civil wars?"

Peng Yuan was silenced by his words, and Hua Qianyu said: "This matter still needs to be reported to His Majesty and the marshal, and it will take seven days to travel back and forth between the two places in eight hundred miles, but before that, I will sign the cooperation agreement , and arrest the prince. I will write the secret letter. If the result of asserting without authorization is to provoke the emperor's anger, Yu will bear all the blame and ask the commander for permission."

"Bring it all on your own? Hmph, you are still as naive as ever." Having said that, Peng Yuan did not reject the proposal, but just left in a huff.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Le Yang was so nervous that his fingers were knotted. He couldn't pick up the pen and paper until Peng Yuan left, and wrote: Young Master, it's dangerous.

"If I was afraid of death, I would not appear here."

Having said that, seeing Le Yang still looking depressed, Hua Qianyu teased: "I am a god who has gone down to earth to experience, and this life is not yet perfect, how can God let me die with regrets?"

When I was young, I went to the streets with Le Yang. A fortune teller once held his hand and said that he was a god descended from the earth. At that time, Hua Qianyu replied proudly "I know" and left the old Taoist priest who was about to kneel down and left gracefully. .

Le Yang still remembers that incident, and now he can't help laughing when he recalls that scene.

Feeling better, Le Yang picked up his pen and asked again: Young Master didn't intend to reject Li You, right?

Hua Qianyu replied: "Yes, he is very smart, he seems to have anticipated my reaction... The biggest effect of using Ashina's prince as a hostage is to prove that he is against Ashina."

Le Yang: Li You's mind turned quickly. He originally wanted to take Galting Yehu back, but changed his mind in the blink of an eye.

He failed to keep up with Le Liyou's thinking, and Le Liyou never revealed any changes in his thoughts or important plans to him, which made Le Yang quite frustrated.

But... even talking about these things with him is meaningless, right?He was already excluded from the plan by Le Liyou, and he couldn't give constructive advice other than boasting about his cleverness.

Le Liyou just didn't want me to get hurt - even if he thought so, he didn't feel comforted, he could only realize that he was nothing.

After thinking about it, Le Yang raised his head and thought: When I see Li You, I will give him two "slaps" to wake him up.

Noticing that Le Yang's expression changed again and again, Hua Qianyu couldn't guess what he was thinking, but judging from his current expression, he thought he had figured it out.Hua Qianyu once again looked at Le Yang's well-written words, and replied: "Perhaps he didn't want to let Ning Jun intervene so quickly... Detonating disputes from within, and when Ashina was caught off guard Send foreign troops to surround. However, if Daning marched aggressively at that time, it would definitely pose a threat to the Turks who were weakened by the civil war, and he was thinking about the Turks.”

Le Yang held up the white paper with new characters written on it, and asked: Are you angry?

Hua Qianyu found it funny: "That's his hometown, should I be angry because he didn't betray his hometown and blood relatives?"

Le Yang clasped his fingers, put his hands on his chin, raised the corners of his mouth, stared round his almond eyes, and stared at Hua Qianyu with admiration, Hua Qianyu let out a silent "ah".

After a long silence, Hua Qianyu asked: "Princess...during her time in Turkic, can you find any news about her?"

The atmosphere changed suddenly, and the corners of Le Yang's mouth gradually shrunk. He shook his head, Hua Qianyu didn't ask any more questions when he saw this, and worried that Hua Qianyu might misunderstand, he wrote down: I didn't see the woman from the Central Plains beside Da Khan. You can't reveal your identity, so you can't ask the Turkic people about the whereabouts of His Highness. Your Highness, she is very blessed, maybe she is just in a place we can't see.

Hua Qianyu shook his head, and with the usual smile, he said, "I'm used to seeing life and death." He didn't talk about the princess any more.

Hua Qianyu's original idea of ​​joining the army was to bring back the princess sister who was sent to Turkic to get married, but...it was too long, so long that he could no longer describe her face, so long that even if he thought she was He is no longer alive, and it is difficult to produce more emotions in his heart even if he removes a few strands of desolation.

How can people be so merciless?

... He must go back quickly, return to An Mingxi's side, and spend his whole life engraving himself into the depths of An Mingxi's soul, so that An Mingxi will not be able to forget him from generation to generation.

Hua Qianyu approached, patted Le Yang's head lightly, and said: "It's been a long time, you've worked hard, go and have a rest."

The voice came from above his head, Le Yang suddenly raised his head, looking at Hua Qianyu, who was already far taller than him by more than a head, suddenly felt the vicissitudes of life.

Hua Qianyu looked down at Le Yang who was in a daze, and although he didn't know what he was thinking, he said, "You seem to... grow smaller and smaller."

Le Yang wrinkled his face and made a grimace, which instantly made Hua Qianyu laugh.Hua Qianyu said again: "It must be that the Turkic food is not good-do you have a good dinner?"

Seeing that Le Yang didn't say anything, Hua Qianyu also guessed the answer. He took a pack of paper wrappings from the table, pushed it into Le Yang's arms, and said, "Don't worry, the person you miss will appear on your door soon. before."

Le Yang held the paper package in both hands and looked at Hua Qianyu blankly.Hua Qianyu said: "This is crystal cake, sweet, I think you will like it."

In an instant, it seemed as if he had returned to Huafu, and the Hua Qianyu in front of him was still the same as before——Le Yang missed the days in the capital.

Le Yang grinned at Hua Qianyu, and left the tent with a snack like holding a fragile treasure.

……

In late autumn, the heat of Luojing has gone, and the sun is at dusk again. The sun has lost its scorching arrogance, and the soft glow is shining on the sky and the earth, but the slightly tired pedestrians only care about going home, and their pace is slow, which is not as good as enjoying the golden sun and moon dusk.

Ouyang Shuo got off the sedan chair, looked towards the sky and easily found the bright moon in the east, but he didn't stop for it, but entered the Wangchun Tower with anxiety and excitement.

On the second floor, in front of the window by the corner, the familiar yet unfamiliar young man held a teacup and cast his eyes out of the window, looking into the distance.Time stands still around him, warm light paints his outline, in this noisy tea house, he is like a silent painting.

Suddenly there was a cool wind blowing from the window, shaking the young man's clothes, following the direction of the wind, the young man saw Ouyang Shuo standing next to him, so he put down his wine glass, raised the corners of his lips, and stood up to say hello : "Your Excellency Zuo Si."

Ouyang Shuo pushed his palm and replied, "Then I should say 'General' respectfully." At the same time as saying "General", he bent down.

Hua Qianyu smiled and said, "Long time no see, Ah Shuo."

Ouyang Shuo raised his forearms, shook his palms, sat down in front of Hua Qianyu, and replied, "Chen Shi only parted in the main hall, so it won't be long." I thought that time would pull the two farther and farther apart, but in the The moment Hua Qianyu opened his mouth, Ouyang Shuo knew that everything was still the same.

Thinking back to Hua Qianyu's unfriendly aura in the hall, Ouyang Shuo asked, "Who are you angry with?"

Hua Qianyu was taken aback, apparently not understanding why Ouyang Shuo asked such a question.

"You didn't look happy when His Majesty bestowed you the position of General." Ouyang Shuo knew his friend well, he could see the cold smile on the young man's face, and he knew that the smile was involuntary.

Hua Qianyu lowered her eyes, the corners of her mouth still curled up: "Probably... I'm really angry."

"Such blessings can't make you forget your troubles? Who can be a general like you?"

Perhaps avoiding the question, Hua Qianyu asked, "How is Ah Shuo doing? I haven't heard you mention family matters in the past five years."

"Family matters..." Ouyang Shuo sighed.

"What? What's wrong?"

"What does Qianyu think of Sanniang to me?"

Hua Qianyu was silent for a while, then asked, "Has Ah Shuo changed his mind?"

"Oh," Ouyang Shuo showed a self-deprecating smile, "I used to think that if I love you, I will last forever, but... yeah, I changed my mind. I even thought that I would like Sanniang in the past, but my vision is too narrow, and I never knew anything other than Sanniang. The girl..." Ouyang Shuo poured tea for himself, but he just held it when the cup was full, not in the mood to drink, "Sanniang probably also found that I love Yuan'er more, so she treated me more carefully, but she became more and more cautious. So, the more I feel that she doesn't understand me, gradually, I don't want to talk about Fengyue with her."

"Don't you love me?"

"Nowadays, compared with love, it's more about kindness and shame." Ouyang Shuo raised his head to drink tea, and realized that it wasn't wine until the bitter tea entered his throat.

Hua Qianyu stood up suddenly, left the word "goodbye" and left in a hurry.Ouyang Shuo stared at the back of him leaving in a hurry, until the back disappeared, he murmured: "Don't you want to have dinner together?"

Hated?

He looked at the table that hadn't been served yet, and asked in his heart: Because I'm ruthless?
