The princess looked at the dejected, familiar and strange person in front of her, and narrowed her eyes slightly. It is true that she resents Shen Ming's self-assertion that has led to the separation of flesh and blood for many years, but it is also true that she is unwilling to let Shen Ming die, this person has been entangled with her for half a lifetime, and has long become an inseparable part of life.

The slender and white hand slowly pressed the handle of the knife, raised his eyes, and Shen Ming met a pair of clear eyes: "Although I hate you, I don't want you to die." ”

Shen Ming was stunned at first, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Seeing you leave me, it's better to die, it's too painful to live like that." ”

The princess raised her eyebrows slightly, as if smiling: "When did I say I was leaving?" ”

Shen Ming was stunned again, a cold-blooded and violent person like Shura in the mouths of the people, at this moment, he was as cramped and uneasy as a young man who had never experienced the world, his eyes didn't even dare to look at the expression on the princess's face, he was afraid that he had heard it wrong, or it was just a dream.

"You'll definitely go."

The princess snorted coldly: "As far as you think about it the most, do I want to leave or not, don't you know?" You can't live without me, so why can't I live without you? ”

Without waiting for Shen Ming to react to the meaning of her words, the princess coughed lightly and said, "Now you have two choices in front of you, one is to put down everything in your hand and leave the Liang Kingdom with me, and we can go to other places to live in seclusion, or travel." The second is that you stay in the palace and continue your power struggle, and from then on, you will never see each other again, whether you live or die. ”

"But you just said ........"

The princess glared at him, pretending to be impatient: "What do you say so much, just say which one to choose." ”

Do these two options still need to be considered? Shen Ming chose to give up everything at hand without saying a word, he was not a person who was intoxicated with power, he had been fighting for power and profit all these years, and even did not hesitate to drive Shen Zhiwen out of the palace, but it was just to plunder resources, only by virtue of his status as a prince, there were some things that he could not get. Things would turn out like this, and he didn't expect it at the beginning.

His unusual cheerfulness puzzled the princess: "Don't you think about it? promised so quickly, isn't there something boring? ”

"No, I mean it." Shen Ming stretched out his hand and wanted to hug the person into his arms, but suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was not the woman who could coax him some time ago, so he held his breath and forcibly took his hand back, "Over the years, the outside world has misunderstood me very much, they say that I am obedient and cruel, that I like to seek the throne, and that I am a tyrannical person, there are so many rumors, and one thing is right." That's what I want for you. You will always be the most important one in my heart, and I can do anything for you, including dying and giving up everything. ”

The princess breathed and was silent for a long time.

"It's a sin."

If there really is a so-called karmic reincarnation in the world, she must have owed Shen Ming a lot of debts in her previous life, otherwise why would she be entangled in this life?

According to the practice of Meng Liguo, the world is vegetarian within 100 days of the national mourning, during which marriage is prohibited, and people are not allowed to drink and have fun, and even the music may be played. In this bleak time, Meng Liguo's palace should have been shrouded in gloomy clouds, but in Minghua Palace, there was a faint sound of music.

"Your Highness......." the internal official hurriedly came to report, "This is an urgent letter sent back by the eyeliner of Shattered Leaf City. ”

Shattered Leaf City? Holding Yan raised his eyebrows, if it weren't for this letter sent by the internal official, he would probably have forgotten the army stationed in Shattered Leaf City. It's interesting to say. Before Bai Huan's death, from the beginning of the establishment of Meng Liguo to the civil strife a month ago, it was clear that Meng Liguo had been made a mess by various events, but she never used the defenders stationed in Broken Leaf City, as if she had completely forgotten that army. Such an abnormal behavior not only made Zhu Yan feel funny, but also puzzled: "Gonggong Li, I heard that you have been following the first emperor for a while?" ”

The serving inner manager, that is, Gonggong Li who was talking about in the mouth of the Yan, fell to his knees in fright as soon as he heard the words of the Yan: "The slave has followed the emperor for more than five years. ”

"That's been a long time. Gonggong Li, since you have been by the side of the first emperor for so many years, you must know more or less about the first emperor, right? What the hell is going on in Shattered Leaf City? ”

"This ........," Gonggong Li hesitated.

If it weren't for the fact that he had served in front of Bai Huan for many years, and his understanding of Bai Huan was even deeper than that of Feng Changqi, I am afraid that Zhu Yan would have completely wiped him out.

The corners of his lips hooked up a smile, but his eyes were not gentle at all: "Gonggong Li, there are so many people in this palace, this king thinks that the smartest person is you, you must not let this king disappoint you." Regarding the affairs of the first emperor, when you have something to say, say it as soon as possible, do you understand what this king means? ”

Gonggong Li was excited, and in a trance he thought that he was in the jungle and was being targeted by a fierce beast.

He defended himself head-on: "Your Highness, the minion has no intention of concealing this matter, since the day when he chose you, the minion has sworn allegiance to you, and there is no intention of concealing it!" Although the first emperor trusted the minions, some things were finally not allowed to be listened to, and the matter of Broken Leaf City was also discussed by the first emperor himself with General Lu, and the minions only overheard one or two sentences....... The servant heard the first emperor say to General Li that the northwest is an important frontier area, and if there is no need, there is no need to return to Beijing, just guard the border pass. ”

A hint of surprise flashed at the corner of his eyebrows: "Even if there is civil strife, the rebels will not move all the way to the capital?" ”

"Don't move," this kind of words sounded ridiculous, but the internal official swore that she had really heard it with her own ears, "Your Majesty only asked General Lu to guard the border pass, and nothing else should be bothered." ”

Holding the inkstone, he smiled: "Good spirit." ”

Since ancient times, the Northwest Frontier has always been a disease that Meng Liguo cannot completely cure, and no one has been able to completely solve the hidden dangers of Qianghu in the Northwest throughout the ages, so the Northwest Frontier Defense is the top priority of Meng Liguo. Bai Huan gave this kind of order, which was nothing more than to let the northwest garrison not have to be distracted and concentrate on defense, but it could be regarded as seeking peace for the people of the northwest border pass, but I am afraid that it would not be so easy for herself, otherwise a month ago, the rebels would not have been able to attack the capital.

"This king understands, you should step back first."

Gonggong Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and slowly withdrew from the dormitory, while the inkstone was sitting in his place, and the letter in his hand was opened little by little.

After all, it is not a trivial matter to seek a change of dynasty in a country, and he is a cautious person, so he is naturally prepared in advance. Meng Liguo said a few words that he had placed eyeliner in every military camp, especially the garrison of Broken Leaf City, which was biased towards Bai Huan, and he took precautions in every way, for fear that this army would suddenly jump out like a tiger and destroy all his plans, so when he looked at the secret letter from Broken Leaf City, he paid special attention to it.

The letter was written in black and white about the recent situation of Broken Leaf City, including Jade Hopeless's arrival at the garrison camp of Broken Leaf City, and the secret conversation between the three of them in the camp tent, all of which were carefully explained by Eyeliner. Knowing that Lu Ming not only had no intention of taking refuge in himself, but even reached an agreement with Yu Hopeless, he was so angry that he was about to drop all the objects in his hand: "This jade is hopeless, I really don't know how to lift!" ”

Angry, Yu Hopeless suddenly wanted to open it again.

After all, Yu Wuwang is Feng Changqi's master, Feng Changqi knows about Bai Huan, how can he not know? Although the marriage contract between this person and Feng Changqi has not been clearly determined, those who pay a little attention to gossip know that the two are very affectionate, and it is only a matter of time before they get married.

Holding the inkstone tightly holding the letter, his eyes were cold: "It seems that Yu is hopeless and can't stay, so I have to find a way to let him go down to accompany Bai Huan as soon as possible." There is also Feng Changqi, isn't it rumored that the three of them have a deep relationship with the outside world, since this is the case, let's go underground and be companions together. ”

A sneer came out of his throat.

Shattered Leaf City, inside the garrison camp.

At this time, it was lunch time, and the soldiers had finished their whole morning of training, dragging their tired bodies to the cauldron of eating, and at this time, only the matter of eating could make them feel a moment of joy and relaxation. The crowd of people queuing for food was noisy, and only one person stood by and stared in a certain direction restlessly.

The person next to him felt strange, so he pushed him forward with his elbow: "You go quickly, it's your turn." ”

The young soldier woke up like from a dream, and after apologizing, he hurried forward, and although he tried to hide the embarrassment between his demeanor and movements, he was still seen by some nosy sharp-eyed people.

The other party squinted slightly, hiding in a corner that ordinary people couldn't notice.

"That person is the suspect found by the military advisor?"

The person on the side nodded again and again: "That's right, this is the person the military advisor said!" ”

This young soldier looks no different from the other soldiers next to him, and even because of his youth, he looks more innocent than others, who would have thought that he would be a small work that other people have planted in the barracks? Confused in his heart, but Lu Ming didn't see any softness, he casually found an excuse to shout the seemingly innocent little soldier in front of him, and then he raised his hand and knocked the little soldier unconscious with a hand knife, while the other soldiers were eating, no one noticed the changing gap next to him, and directly carried the person back to the camp tent: "Strategist, Strategist, come over and take a look, is this little ghost the person who released the carrier pigeon that you met with your own eyes that day?" ”

Sitting upright, his eyes wandering in the sand table, trying to find some inspiration from it, the military advisor raised his head impatiently: "How do I know if the person you brought back is ...... Hey, really. General, you really captured him, I thought there would be no more chance to meet, it's a pity. ”

Compared to Lu Ming's head, the military advisor was like a fox.
