Chapter 701: Disdain to go north

Just thinking about it, Li Taoyao had already eaten all these meals. My stomach is full, and my mood is no longer so depressed. The little palace maid sent water and hand towels, and Li Taoyao washed her hands and face, and combed her hair again.

Watching Li Taoyao coil up her curly hair, Wei Youqing's mind returned to the Daosheng Villa back then, and Li Taoyao's soft little hands slid over her hair. Just thinking about it this time, Wei Youqing's heart was tingling.

"Unfortunately, she doesn't remember that time." Wei Youqing thought disappointedly. He sat next to Li Taoyao's dressing table, and watched Li Taoyao comb his hair with some dementia.

Li Taoyao didn't know what Wei Youqing was thinking. For Li Taoyao, the person in front of her was just a colt pointed out to her by her father, and the emperor's words just now made her understand that her future life would fall on this person.

It's just that it takes three years to get married, but the person in front of him enters the house, and he runs into the inner room with him, and the people around him don't stop him......

Li Taoyao sighed in her heart, and the frustration of being reprimanded by the emperor just hit again. Sure enough, everyone has a pair of powerful eyes...... This person is a popular person next to the emperor, and no one is willing to offend him......

She didn't know that everyone knew that she eloped with Wei Youqing, and many people speculated that the two might have been married for a long time. On weekdays, they are used to being intimate, where would the people next to them think that Wei Youqing followed Li Taoyao into the inner room was not in accordance with the etiquette system?

Li Taoyao had no choice but to smile and say, "Mr. Wei, didn't Your Majesty just say that you want you to accompany the Holy Driver to dinner?" Why don't you go yet? ”

Wei Youqing had already forgotten about it, and was reminded by Li Taoyao, secretly beating his head, and said with a smile: "Thanks to your reminder, otherwise I would have forgotten." He patted Li Taoyao's soft jade hand on the dressing table, and smiled affectionately, "I'm fascinated by you...... Thanks to the reminder of the good wife. ”

Li Taoyao took away her hand a little awkwardly, carefully not letting Wei Youqing notice it, and naturally picked up the white beaded flower on the dressing table and put it on her bun.

Because of her absent-mindedness, Zhuhua was a little crooked, Wei Youqing stepped forward and carefully straightened Zhuhua for her, and her fingers gently brushed her slender jade neck like congealed cream.

The slightly cool touch made Wei Youqing feel numb again, and the thought of waiting for three years to bring back the beauty in front of him made Wei Youqing feel aggrieved.

Li Taoyao was a little annoyed because of his flick, not to mention that she saw from the mirror of the dressing table that a little palace maid was about to come in to report the matter, and when she saw that the two were intimate, she hurriedly retreated again.

"Mr. Wei......" Li Taoyao was a little stunned on her face, but she didn't want to embarrass Wei Youqing in her heart, she swallowed the unhappiness in her heart, and said softly, "Go quickly." ”

Wei Youqing noticed Li Taoyao's displeasure, and immediately understood that Li Taoyao was a lover to him and a wife who almost got married, but he was a stranger to Li Taoyao.

This feeling made Wei Youqing frustrated. It is much better to comfort yourself than to become an enemy.

In the Dongming Palace, Li Chengyu did not blame Wei Youqing for being late. accompanied them to the meal, as well as Li Wanyi, the princess of Fenxi.

Apparently Li Wanyi was overjoyed that the horse had been transferred to the Yulin Military Prison, and that the emperor had promised to investigate the case thoroughly.

The vacant seat next to Li Chengyu was naturally Wei Youqing's, and when Wei Youqing entered, Li Wanyi happened to talk to Li Chengyu with a smile.

Wei Youqing took a seat, sat down in his seat and listened quietly to Li Wanyi tell Li Chengyu about the customs of the Khitan.

"Today's day is the saddest time for the Khitan." Li Wanyi said in a whisper, "The imperial brother wants to listen to the little sister tell the truth, and the little sister will say it." This is nothing, we Shatuo elders know it.

This place in Xinzhou was originally a pasture for the Khitan people to spend the winter. But every year in the summer, the Khitans return to the north, and Xinzhou will return to us again. The Khitan king didn't want to fight, so he couldn't do it if he didn't. When the first emperor was there, he wanted to negotiate peace. The Khitan king didn't dare to disagree, but after the peace was negotiated, Xinzhou was gone.

The Khitan king had to rebuild a pasture for the winter in Dasheng Prefecture next to Xinzhou, and exchanged horses and skins for what he needed for the winter, and finally barely survived.

The Khitan king naturally didn't want to live so aggrieved, and it wasn't a matter of a day or two to fight with us. But the little sister heard Assise say that the Khitan didn't have so many soldiers and food to fight south, at most, they just wanted to take Xinzhou over. ”

Li Chengyu nodded and said: "In this way, this Wang Yuanhe framed Assise out of nothing, just to give the Khitan king a mouthful, so that he can use this as an excuse to tear up the contract." This Wang Yuanhe can really be said to be ill-intentioned. ”

Li Wanyi didn't speak, which can be regarded as her heart's approval of Li Chengyu's words. Li Chengyu turned his head and glanced at Wei Youqing, and said angrily: "Come here so late, can you understand what I and the princess are saying?" ”

Wei Youqing said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess is telling the story of the Khitan. Youqing understood the second half, that is, because the Khitan king was not capable of going south, our army disdained to go north. Then no matter whether the Khitan wins or loses, the war can only stop at Xinzhou. ”

"Disdain to go north?" Li Chengyu laughed out loud at Wei Youqing's words, "Youqing, you might as well be honest and sincere." ”

Wei Youqing understood what Li Chengyu meant, and smiled embarrassedly: "What Your Majesty said is that just as the Khitan does not have the ability to go south, our army also has the ability to go north. It's just that Xinzhou is the gateway to the east of my river, and it must not be taken away by the Khitans. But Her Royal Highness Princess Fangcai also said that the Khitan regarded Xinzhou as their pasture for the winter, and it seemed that the tragedy of the battle in Xinzhou was inevitable. ”

Li Chengyu shook his head and smiled: "As you said, why is Xinzhou fighting every year, and it can always be taken back every year?" ”

Wei Youqing of course knew that He Jiming was in Xinzhou, and when he had to fight with the Khitans every year in the past, as long as the soldiers and civilians in the city and the heavy grain and grass were withdrawn to Youzhou, which was not far from Xinzhou, when the Khitans were coming, he could not hold out, and when the spring began, the Khitans would naturally leave.

The winter in NSW is very cold, it is the season of cat winter, and it doesn't matter where you go to cat winter. This is a secret matter of Hedong Town, if it is not He Jiming, Wei Youqing will not know.

Wei Youqing smiled, among the six towns in the north, the largest is Hedong Town. Now it seems to be in the hands of Yang Yishan, but in fact, even Yang Yishan is Zhao Haohai's subordinate, and most of the officers under him are from the Holy Protector Army.

Now although it seems that the Holy Protector Army has been taken command by the Wu Xiucheng brothers, the Holy Protector Army is also completely under the command of the Wu brothers. But that was under the condition that the Zhao clan did not move, if there was a disturbance in the Zhao clan in the capital, this group of arrogant soldiers would not know what they would do.
