. Although Zhao Qianru had guessed it somewhat, she was still shocked when she heard her say it herself, and she didn't know how to comfort her for a while.

Duan Yanzhu smiled sadly and said: "After I knew about sending me to the Great Song Dynasty to join my family, I also thought about eloping with Renxian, and from then on, I will go incognito, find a place where no one is there to spend my life, and I don't think about any other national hatred and family hatred, and I don't think about reviving the country." But I can't, because I'm the princess of Dali, for the people of Dali, for Duan Di, I can't just think about myself. So in the end, I personally agreed. I still remember the day I agreed to kiss, the expression of disappointment and helplessness on Renxian's face, but I ......" said that, she couldn't help but hide her face and cry again.

Zhao Qianru came out of Duan Yanzhu's room, and let out a long breath at the moonsky, and said, "Is it really ten constants when life is unsatisfactory?" ”

The next day, the people continued on the road, and Duan Yanzhu hid in the car all the way, not showing up. And Liu Renxian also looked at Yan Shan, as if he had lost his soul. Yang Yan was a little inexplicable, but Gan Hua covered up for Liu Renxian and said that he didn't wake up from yesterday's wine, so Yang Yan didn't care anymore.

When they arrived in Xiaoshan at noon, the people stopped to rest and eat, and Yang Yan ordered the people to report to Lin'an quickly, telling them that the Dali mission had arrived, so as not to welcome them in time and lose their manners. Zhao Qianru called Yang Yan aside and told Yang Yan everything about yesterday. After Yang Yan heard about Liu Renxian and Duan Yanzhu, he couldn't help but feel deep sympathy for them, but unfortunately in this matter, he and Zhao Qianru were just as powerless as they were, because both of them sacrificed voluntarily. So just sighing for the two of them.

Zhao Qianru suddenly said: "If one day, our Great Song Dynasty is facing the disaster of losing the country, and the official family wants to treat me as a person who is close to foreign countries, what will you do?" Is it the same as Liu Renxian, who gave up painfully? ”

Yang Yan was stunned for a moment, shook his head slowly, and said word by word: "No, I will take you away at all costs, ignoring everything else." ”

Zhao Qianru was also stunned and said, "Why? Is it so difficult that you don't care about Da Song? ”

Yang Yan shook his head, took her hand, and said, "For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, I can fight to the death, even if I am buried on the battlefield, I will never complain." But this is just for me, and I will never allow the exchange of my dearest people. ”

Zhao Qianru's heart was hot, leaning on him, Yang Yan gently hugged her, and said: "If a country pins its hopes of recovering the country on a friendly woman, then this country is afraid that it is not far from the death of the country." Dali is an example, the monarchy has been on the side for decades, and the previous emperors were not hardworking, but they just got by, and now they are suffering from chaos, in fact, it is a matter of course. If they continue to be so unenterprising, even if the Great Song Dynasty sends troops, they will not be able to save Dali's fate from the country. ”

Zhao Qianru pillowed her head on his shoulder and sighed: "Dali is like this, why is it not like this in our Great Song Dynasty." ”

Yang Yan gently stroked her hair and said, "Do you think this time the imperial court will not send troops to rescue Dali?" ”

Zhao Qianru said: "Dali has always been friendly with the Great Song Dynasty, and in the southwest can contain Jiaozhi and Tubo, and the toe has always peeped into the southwest of my Great Song Dynasty, how to let Dali be annexed by the toe, or support a court that is close to the toe, is not good for our Great Song Dynasty." Therefore, it is reasonable that the imperial court should send troops, but the problem is that now our own civil strife in the Great Song Dynasty has not yet been calmed down, and in such a situation, the imperial court may not agree to send troops. What's more, the soldiers guarding Sichuan, Shaanxi, Xiang'e, and Jianghuai can't move, and the remaining soldiers in the imperial court are all pacifying Manichaeism, and now our Great Song Dynasty has no soldiers to come out? ”

Yang Yan said: "Guangxi itself is adjacent to Dali, and now that Manichaeism has been pacified, if it is possible, it should be possible to transfer some people from Guangxi to rescue Dali." ”

Zhao Qianru raised her head and said, "I know you want to help Liu Renxian, but after all, this is a military matter, and you can't rely on personal feelings." Are you going to divide a lot of people to help Dali? Do you know how many people are needed to help Dali? If there are fewer people and horses, they can't defeat the Jiaozhi army, and they will also damage the national prestige of the Great Song Dynasty, and if there are more people and horses, Guangxi will inevitably be empty. Besides, if you don't have your own business, then you still have the heart to take care of other people's affairs. ”

Yang Yan listened and became silent, he admitted that what Zhao Qianru said was indeed right, military affairs cannot be acted on by personal feelings. said: "I know, don't worry, I won't be so ignorant." In a few days, Zhou Xin will send the preliminary situation on Dali's side to Lin'an, and then I will be able to have more detailed information, so that I can also judge how many people are needed to help Dali? ”

Zhao Qianru couldn't help laughing: "You are such a stubborn person." After all, you still want to help Liu Renxian. ”

Yang Yan smiled bitterly, although he didn't approve of Liu Renxian and Duan Yanzhu's behavior, he was also moved by their sacrifice, so he wanted to try his best to help them, and finally could comfort their wishes, and said, "Don't you want to help them?" ”

Zhao Qianru lowered her head, sighed softly, and said, "If it is possible, I am naturally willing to help them." Suddenly smiled and said, "But you are so stubborn, so you look cute." ”

Yang Yan saw that she was as delicate as a flower, and couldn't help but kiss her on the face. But Zhao Qianru was startled, and hurriedly jumped out of his arms, blushing with shame, and said coquettishly: "It's broad daylight, what are you doing?" ”

Yang Yan scratched his head and smiled.

Zhao Qianru said again: "But you have to remember that whether or not to send troops is a matter for the imperial court, and the ministers of Zhongshu will definitely weigh the profits, in this matter, you are a foreign minister, not to mention that you yourself have something to do now." So at this time, no matter how much you want to help them, don't take the initiative. I think if the imperial court intends to send troops, the official family will summon you to the right place at that time. ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "I know." ”

Guangyan's hand left Yu Yunwen's wrist and was silent in thought. Yu Yunwen smiled slightly: "What is the old man's illness? The master did not speak outright. ”

Guangyan said: "The problem of the public is overwork, so that the heart and blood failure, if you calm your mind and nourish your mind from now on, you may have ten years to live." ”

Yu Yunwen said: "What if it continues like this? ”

Guangyan sighed: "If you are still like this, you should work less, worry less, and rest more." ”

Yu Yunwen laughed and said: "The old man is already over sixty years old, even if he dies, he will not die young." What's more, who can not die in life since ancient times, and the destiny of heaven is also his own, what is there to say about the master? Let's just say it, how much time does the old man have to live? ”

Guangyan hesitated for a moment before he said: "The poor monk is shallow in medicine, and he doesn't dare to say anything, but Xianggong should be fine within this year." ”

In fact, Yu Yunwen's illness fell in Sichuan when he was in Sichuan, but it was not very serious at that time, so Yu Yunwen didn't take it too seriously. But since returning to Lin'an and becoming the prime minister, the affairs have multiplied sharply, and Yu Gongliang's death has also hit him hard, so the illness has become more and more serious. Guangyan is a famous monk in Lin'an, proficient in medical skills, and has friendships with various officials, long before Yu Yunwen went to Sichuan, the two had a good relationship, so Yu Yunwen asked Guangyan to diagnose his pulse.

Listening to Guangyan's words, Yu Yunwen nodded and sighed, "Is it only one year?" ”

Guang Yan hurriedly said: "The poor monk's medical skills are shallow, and he talks nonsense, so he may not be taken seriously, so he still invites some Lang Zhong with excellent medical skills to take a look." ”

Yu Yunwen waved his hand and said: "The old man is not greedy for life and afraid of death, but now that the state affairs have eased up a little, the old man is only afraid of ...... once he leaves" Saying, he sighed again and said: "If there are still three years, even if it is two years, at least the old man can arrange calmly and do his last thing for the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Guangyan sighed softly and was about to say something more, when a family member came in and said, "Xiangye, someone in the palace has come to invite Xiangye into the palace to discuss matters." ”

Since receiving the news that Yang Yan wanted to protect the Dali mission back to Lin'an, Zhao? I can't help but feel relieved, and the big stone that weighs on my heart is also a lot lighter. Regardless of whether Yang Yan knew about the rumors or not, he dared to return to Beijing alone and leave the army in Guangnan, which showed that he had no intention of resisting the imperial court. Moreover, this reason is also used very well, "protect the return of the Dali delegation to Beijing", even the officials who support Yang Yan cannot find a reason to oppose Yang Yan's return to Beijing.
