On the other side of Chaoyuan Hall, Xiao Jue's bedroom was brightly lit.

After Ah Lian's conditioning, although the residual poison in Xiao Jue's body was not completely removed, it no longer poses any threat to him.

At this moment, he swept away his sick appearance a few days ago, and was sitting on the dragon bed being served by Eunuch Zhao for supper.

——After all, in order to pretend to be sick, and to prevent someone with a heart from poisoning Xiao Jue again, the dinner brought by the imperial dining room was basically sent back intact. The reason was that the emperor was in a coma and couldn't eat anything.

It has to be said that the taste of the meals produced by Yue Fanlou is much better than the imperial meals in the palace. In comparison, the warm fire meal is not for people to eat at all!

Swallowing down a mouthful of plum cake contentedly, Xiao Jue quietly glanced at Zhuang Qingyue who was sitting and drinking tea, feeling more and more satisfied with this "sister-in-law".

"Those who are well-informed probably already know Xu Lin's actions, and tomorrow morning will be a good time to test it out.

In addition, the palace needs to send more people, but to avoid the eyes and ears of the palace, Huo Qing will have to work harder.As for the Forbidden Army, is the Tiger Talisman in your hands? "

Having said that, Xiao Lingfeng paused.He looked at the two small plates of pastries that had been empty in front of Xiao Jue at some point, and subconsciously frowned: "Eat so many pastries at night, are you not afraid of food accumulation? Don't complain about your stomach being full in the middle of the night."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Lingfeng was suddenly a little dazed.Xiao Jue has a real blood relationship with his body, but Xiao Lingfeng is an outsider.

To him, this nominal younger brother is just a paper man in a book.

But at that moment just now, a scene of a baby the size of a bean crying because of accumulated food appeared in his mind, disturbing the palace's restlessness in the middle of the night.

So some words blurted out unconsciously, and the restraint in the words really seemed like a strict brother.

Xiao Jue on the side was also taken aback when he heard the words, but quickly waved his hands indifferently: "It's okay, I'll let Eunuch Zhao rub it for a while, don't delay things, don't worry, Brother Huang."

He lowered his eyes, as if his eyes were still fixed on the exquisite food in front of him: "Brother Huang, continue to talk, I'm listening. Hmm... What did you say just now, Tiger Talisman?"

He tilted his head and thought for a while, jumped off the dragon bed with one foot, and ran to the dark room inside the bedroom before he even had time to put on his shoes. Eunuch Zhao was startled by his actions, and chased after him with his shoes.

Xiao Lingfeng put down his teacup, and looked at Zhuang Qingyue helplessly: "The dignified emperor, why is he becoming more and more like a child, it's not dignified at all."

Zhuang Qingyue hugged a stove to warm her hands, and heard that the old god was there and said: "Why do you have to be so solemn in front of your elder brother? If I had an elder brother, I would definitely roll around in front of him every moment, begging for candies. "

Xiao Lingfeng was startled again when he heard the words.

He could more or less guess Zhuang Qingyue's life experience, so although Zhuang Qingyue said this casually, the speaker had no intention of listening to it—

If he had come earlier, if he had met Zhuang Qingyue earlier, he would have tried his best to become the person who always had sugar in his pocket for Zhuang Qingyue.

...Of course, it's not necessary to be an older brother.

However, although Xiao Lingfeng really wanted to say something about Zhuang Qingyue's words at this time, he didn't have the nerve to give Zhuang Qingyue an in-depth analysis of his turbulent heart in front of Huo Qing and Ah Lian. Brain, the upper and lower lips suddenly touched, and said a word that was not too brainy.

"If you grow up to look like Ah Yue, then it's not called Sapo, it's called coquettish."

After finishing the words, I saw Zhuang Qingyue's hand covering the stove tightened suddenly, and her eyes swept over like knives. Although she didn't speak, the meaning in her eyes was obvious: "There are still people watching, what nonsense are you talking about."

Xiao Lingfeng was also a little embarrassed by this look.Looking around, fortunately Huo Qing and Ah Lian knew each other well, and had already lowered their heads, but the bedroom was completely quiet because of this.

But the suffocating silence was quickly broken by footsteps.

Xiao Jue shuddered out of the dark room while pulling on his shoes and holding a wooden box in his arms.

He slammed the wooden box in front of Xiao Lingfeng, and the things in the box swayed and hit the inner wall due to his movements, making the sound of clanging metals -- as if a box was filled with broken pieces.

Xiao Jue opened the box in front of him without hesitation, and the broken metal of the box was displayed in front of his eyes.

"Tiger talismans are here, you can choose which one you want, brother." He stroked his chin and thought, "From the Imperial Army, from the Gyeonggi Patrol Battalion, from Quezhou, from Yuezhou, do you want anything else?"

Xiao Lingfeng took a breath, and couldn't hold back the reproach: "All these tiger charms are packed together in one box? Waiting for someone to catch them all at once?"

Xiao Jue waved his hand: "It's okay, anyway, the Jingbei Army is not under the control of the Tiger Talisman. If it is really wiped out, Brother Huang will definitely come back to save me, right?" There is no need to even call himself "Zhen".

Seeing Xiao Lingfeng's indescribable expression, Xiao Jue choked up for a moment, and asked: "Is it? Is it? Brother Huang?"

Xiao Lingfeng didn't answer, so he poked his head to look at Zhuang Qingyue: "Sister-in-law Huang, what do you think?" Sister-in-law Huang brought him Yue Fan Lou's snacks, so she will definitely come to rescue him, right?

Xiao Lingfeng raised his forehead secretly, thinking that if Xiao Jue knew that Zhuang Qingyue was once a rebellious prince appointed by the previous court, and tried every means to kill him to usurp the throne, would he dare to talk to him like that.

So before Zhuang Qingyue could give an answer, he stretched out his long arms, picked out two cubs from the box, and then interrupted Xiao Jue's chattering questions.

"The defense of Quezhou was originally my subordinate. His father also fought with his father and was absolutely loyal to the Xiao family. His Majesty issued a secret order to let Ding Yue go there with the tiger talisman."

"But Xu Lin probably won't fight the Quezhou garrison, and will go directly to the rear..." He looked at the two black gold tiger charms in his hand, "Therefore, Your Majesty only needs to hand over the Gyeonggi Patrol Battalion and the Forbidden Army to me, and I will be able to Guard the Xiao family for His Majesty."

Xiao Jue said "Oh", and picked out the tiger amulet of the Quezhou defenders from inside and threw it to Huo Qing: "I will write a secret decree later, and you will quietly send it to Ding Yue."

Then, while asking Eunuch Zhao to prepare his pen and ink, he muttered in a low voice: "Why do you call it guarding the country for me? They are all from the Xiao family, and the country does not belong to me alone."

Xiao Lingfeng heard his words clearly, and his face became serious in an instant: "Your Majesty, be careful with your words."

Although he always kept in mind that "the people are the masters of the country" before he came here, but now that he has entered a feudal society, he naturally wants to do as the Romans do.

If Xiao Jue said such things openly again in the future, his reputation as the regent's plot to usurp the throne would be confirmed.

Besides, even if Xiao Jue really relied on him like a younger brother at this moment, he also knew that this man was definitely not as gentle and harmless as he seemed now after being the emperor for so many years.

What if he turns his face and denies anyone by then?Although Xiao Lingfeng didn't want to think about Xiao Jue in a bad way, after all, the king's heart is unpredictable, and he still wanted to live a long life and spend time with Zhuang Qingyue.

Huo Qing moved very quickly, and delivered the emperor, the oral order, the secret letter and the tiger amulet to Ding Yue in almost a quarter of an hour.

Ding Yue led a group of personal soldiers, took advantage of the night to leave the imperial capital at high speed, and rushed towards Quezhou City non-stop.

Ding Yue didn't expect that everyone had already returned to the imperial capital, and there was still a chance to fight.But I have to say that this is the most exciting task he has received since he followed Xiao Lingfeng back from the northwest.

He clearly knew that as long as he left the imperial city, his every move would be watched by people in the dark, and because of this, he vaguely regained some of the pleasure he had playing with the Xisha barbarians when he was in the northwest.

Outside the city of Yuezhou.

When the dawn was about to break, the sound of the horseshoes of the messenger soldiers broke the silence of the camp.

The lights in Suxi Army's tent stayed on all night, and the messenger who got permission stepped into the tent quickly, with a look of unconcealable joy on his face.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, Xiao Lingfeng's people approached General Tan Shouchang in Quezhou City, and tried to join forces with General Tan to stop us outside Quezhou City. But Tan Shouchang had heard early in the morning that the regent was threatening the emperor to usurp the throne, so he didn't give Xiao Lingfeng any face!"

He said vividly like a storyteller: "The General Ding sent by Xiao Lingfeng, he was cut down by Tan Shouchang with a single sentence after he said a few words, and he died on the spot!"

Xu Lin frowned: "This is serious? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

The messenger swears: "General, the villain saw it with his own eyes! Then Tan Shouchang said that Xiao Lingfeng must have forged the imperial decree to deceive him into rebellion, and he will never associate with rebellious officials and thieves!"

The messenger said it seriously, but Xu Lin was suspicious by nature and always felt that something was wrong. Besides, he had been dormant in the southwest for many years and had always acted cautiously. He would never believe what the messenger said.

After waving his hand to make the messengers retreat, he turned his head to look at the confidantes in the tent and asked their opinions.

A big man with beards said bluntly: "Since Tan Shouchang doesn't give Xiao Lingfeng face, let's try to make contact too. An enemy's enemy is a friend!"

Xu Lin hummed heavily, noncommittal.

He knows it's not that simple.Tan Shouchang's reputation for being stubborn has long spread, and if he could not give Xiao Lingfeng face, he could also not give him Xu Lin's face.

Anyway, Xiao Lingfeng still had a little friendship with him in private, but as for him, Xu Lin, who had been stationed in the southwest for so many years, how could he have a chance to talk to Tan Shouchang?

Xu Lin didn't speak, and the tent fell into silence for a short while.

After a while, a man in white without armor spoke out Xu Lin's heartfelt thoughts: "Tan Shouchang has always been upright, Xiao Lingfeng can't please, and we may not be able to do it."

When he looked up, it was the gentleman who was supposed to be in Liangzhou.

He stroked his goatee, and said: "But General Hu is right, we can also send someone to test it out, if it works, just ask him to open the city gate, we can attack directly without detours Gyeonggi."

"If it doesn't work..." He stretched out his palm and made a gesture between his neck, "The commander of the Quezhou garrison can take it into his pocket."

"Sir..." Xu Lin said in a deep voice, "We are playing in the name of the Qing emperor, and we are supposed to be teachers of justice. Tan Shouchang has already released a message saying that he will not be with Xiao Lingfeng. If we kill him, wouldn't we be trapping ourselves in injustice? "

The gentleman twitched the corner of his mouth, and the smile on his face was full of malice: "The stubborn Tan Shouchang refuted Xiao Lingfeng's face, can't Xiao Lingfeng teach him some lessons?"

Xu Lin understood instantly.

He looked at the gentleman and asked humbly: "Then, who do you think will be the envoy to meet Tan Shouchang?"

The master paused his hand to stroke his beard, and looked around in the tent, his eyes fell on the man in black robe standing behind Xu Lin: "How about just this...Master Jiang Yu Shengjiang."

With a fake smile on his face, he looked at the calm Jiang Yusheng: "As we all know, Jiang Yusheng is His Majesty's confidant, Jiang Yusheng said that our Suxi Army is from King Qin, so we are from King Qin .”
