"It won't happen again."

Sakurako and other geisha from the Wa Kingdom were placed in the Sifang Guild Hall, and Li Yuntian said quietly after sending Sakurako back to his residence, "You have to rest first for the past few days and go outside to relax." ”

"The little woman obeys." Sakurako bowed to Li Yuntian when she heard this, and said in a soft voice, her left cheek was a little red and swollen as if she had been slapped, her kimono was torn in a few places, her hair was loose and she looked quite embarrassed.

"It's been almost three years since you left home, if you want to go back and see, this king can arrange it." Seeing Sakura's pitiful appearance, Li Yuntian couldn't help but feel a sense of love in his heart, and he couldn't help but say when he thought of Sakura's departure from home.

"The little woman thanked the prince, since the little woman has already come to Daming, then she never thought of going back." Sakurako's eyes lit up when she heard this, and then she was dark, and she leaned over to thank Li Yuntian sadly.

Since Sakurako was given to Li Yuntian as a gift by the shogun, she has lost the right to return to the Wa Kingdom, and she will honestly play the role of a "gift" in the Ming Dynasty, and the "gift" will not be asked for by the master.

Li Yuntian noticed the loss and gloom in Sakurako's eyes, and the corners of his mouth squirmed, wanting to say something to comfort Sakurako, but in the end he couldn't say it and got up and left.

No matter what secret mission Sakurako shouldered, she was a complete victim of Li Yuntian's deal with the shogun, and had to live far away from home to live in Daming, so he really didn't know how to comfort Sakurako, because everything could be said to be caused by him.

Sakura bit her lip and looked at Li Yuntian's distant back, she knew more and more about Daming in the years in the capital, and felt that Daming was a vast and prosperous area, and at the same time, she also knew more about Li Yuntian's deeds, and her heart was full of curiosity and admiration for this prince who was born in two lists of Jinshi and came out of the grassroots step by step, and it was difficult for her to imagine how Li Yuntian achieved this miracle that was impossible in her opinion.

In addition, the guests who came to the Sifang Hall to cheer for Sakura all regarded them as Li Yuntian's women, so not only did they respect her and never dared to take advantage of her, but many people even took the initiative to stammer, which made her vanity a little satisfied.

Sakurako knows that Daming will be her future destination, so she will inevitably have a home in Daming, since the outside world has now regarded her as Li Yuntian's woman, then she can only become Li Yuntian's woman, because no one dares to have any wrong thoughts about her.

There is an old saying in ancient times that marrying a chicken is followed by a chicken and a dog is married to a dog, and the women of the Wa Kingdom are even more centered on men in their lives, and Sakurako should now also plan for her future life, she can't be a geisha for a lifetime, after all, she has to marry.

When Li Yuntian coldly held her hand in front of the living room door just now, Sakurako, who had nothing to rely on in Daming, suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of security, and an indescribable dependence surged in her heart.

However, Sakurako knew that she was just a gift from the shogun of the shogunate to Li Yuntian, and Li Yuntian didn't seem to have any nostalgia for her, she rarely saw Li Yuntian since she came to the Ming Dynasty, and Li Yuntian seemed to have forgotten her.

Before meeting Li Yuntian this time, Sakurako's biggest worry was that Li Yuntian would give her to others, and then she would live with people she didn't like in the strange country of Daming, and it would be terrible to think about that kind of hypocritical and boring days.

Now, although Sakura no longer has to worry about Li Yuntian giving her away, Li Yuntian has not shown any intention of accepting her as a concubine, which means that her future will be full of ruggedness and ups and downs.

Things were as speculated by the outside world, early the next morning, Wu Guogong's wife rushed to the Zhongwu Palace, of course, she did not come to ask the guilt but came to apologize, and felt ashamed of Song Kai's behavior in the Sifang Hall last night.

Since Li Yuntian has been living in the Wutang these days, the princess Zhou Yuting received the Duchess of Wuguo, and Zhou Yuting was quite surprised by the Duchess of Wuguo's intention, as if she didn't know about the Sifang Hall last night.

After learning the general story of the incident, Zhou Yuting generously expressed her understanding, after all, it is common for men to get drunk and go crazy, if Song Kai reported his home to Li Yuntian, then he would definitely not be hit by the thirty boards.

The Duchess of Wuguo hated the iron and said to Zhou Yuting that Song Kai should have been hit by this board a long time ago, saying that Song Kai did not do his job on weekdays, and only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun with a group of fox friends and dogs, and he hoped that he could learn a lesson this time.

Not only that, but Duchess Wu also implicitly said that if someone hadn't secretly fanned the flames that night to stimulate Song Kai, who had already drunk a lot of wine, Song Kai would not have done such a foolish thing.

In a harmonious atmosphere, Zhou Yuting chatted happily with Duchess Wuguo, and Duchess Wuguo finally left the Zhongwu Mansion satisfied, secretly glad that the beam of the Zhongwu Mansion was finally untied.

Duchess Wuguo had to come to the Zhongwu Mansion to make amends, Song Kai's behavior was not only a taboo in officialdom, but also was imprisoned in the prison of Shuntianfu last night, she also tried to rescue Song Kai, who had been beaten for thirty boards, but where did Shuntianfu dare to release people, just said that he could take care of Song Kai in prison, and as for releasing people, Li Yuntian nodded.

Although he was angry that Song Kai offended Li Yuntian without knowing the severity, the Duchess of Wuguo had to find a way to save Song Kai, Song Kai had been pampered since he was a child, and he was still thirty boards.

Fortunately, Zhou Yuting's attitude was very kind, which made the Duchess of Wuguo successfully achieve her goal, Zhou Yuting then asked people to go to Shuntian Mansion to say hello, and immediately Song Kai, who was humming in his mouth, was carried back to the mansion by the subordinates of Wuguo Mansion.

Looking at Song Kai with blurred flesh and blood on her buttocks, Duchess Wuguo was so distressed that she wanted to shed tears, she actually didn't hate Li Yuntian because this was Song Kai's offense first, Li Yuntian just did what a prince should do, and what annoyed her was the fox friends who instigated Song Kai to be rude to Sakura.

In fact, there were many people who got together with Song Kai that night, but later they saw Song Kai making trouble in the Sifang Hall, some people were worried about being implicated and quietly slipped away, and the rest could be described as Song Kai's sworn friends, and the guys who instigated Song Kai ran the fastest, obviously they knew that the consequences of provoking Sakura were very serious.

To tell the truth, Duchess Wuguo couldn't swallow Song Kai's sulking breath of being beaten by thirty boards, and it was obvious that someone was secretly calculating Song Kai.

But since Song Hai is now leading the army to fight in the Western Regions, what can the Duchess of Wuguo do? Only by waiting for Song Hai's class teacher to return to the dynasty will she make plans, she will make the people who plotted against the Wuguo Mansion pay a painful price.

Regarding Song Kai's slight punishment by Li Yuntian, many powerful people in the capital secretly applauded, and the recent momentum of the Wuguo Mansion has been too fierce and has threatened the balance of power in the officialdom of the capital, so not only the honorable nobles but also the civil officials are deeply disturbed by this, and they definitely do not want the overall strength of the nobles to be enhanced.

After all, no force in the capital wants to see the balance of power in the officialdom of the capital broken, this is not only the dispute between the nobles of Jingnan and the founding of the country, but also involves the right of speech of the civil official group and the noble group in the court.

Just when the people in the capital were talking about Song Kai's beating, one night a few days later, a fast horse galloped all the way to the capital under the moonlight.

"One hundred thousand people in the Western Regions are in a hurry, send them to the palace quickly!"

On horseback was a dark-skinned knight with a Chinese character face, with a banner with a big "fire" written on his back, and a round bamboo tube tied to his chest, and after listening to it in front of the moat, he shouted in a slightly hoarse voice to the soldiers on duty on the city gate.

After hearing the voice of the knight with a face of the national character, the soldiers on the tower of the city gate hurriedly reported to the military attache on duty, and the military attache on duty then asked a soldier to lower the city wall with a hanging basket, crossed the moat in a boat tied to the river, and took the knight with the national character face.

The defense of the capital has clear regulations, even if something big happens, the city gate cannot be opened at night, and it must wait until the next day to play, like this, the knight with the national character face is already a special case to take over the moat in a small boat, after all, the war situation in the Western Regions is the most important thing in the Ming Dynasty at present, and its battle report must be sent to the palace as soon as possible.

When the knight crossed the moat, the military attache on duty at the city gate checked the seal he was carrying, proving that he was a person sent by the Western Expeditionary Army to ask for help, and hurriedly sent someone to send him to the imperial city.

At the gate of the Imperial City, the knight of the national character stopped in front of the closed city gate again, and the military attache on duty at the gate of the imperial city learned of the intention of the knight of the national character and let people put down the hanging basket and hang it on the city wall.

After entering the imperial city, the knight with the national character face was once again inspected and checked the seal letter with him, and after confirming his identity, the military attache on duty hurriedly arranged for someone to send him to the military pavilion, and according to the regulations, the battle reports of the Western Regions must be sent to the military pavilion first, and the military pavilion will report to the top.

Although the members of the military cabinet have now gone home to rest, there are military attachés on duty in the military cabinet in case of emergency.

When the knight was hurriedly taken by the people of the military pavilion to the room where the military attache was resting, the military attache on duty was sleeping on the bed, after all, there were very few people who could break into the capital at night to deliver letters, so it seemed very relaxed.

"My lord, the Western Regions is urgent." After knocking on the door, the knight with the national character face hurriedly handed over the bamboo tube he was holding in his hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Blue Leaf City was broken by the Eastern Chagatai army, and the life and death of Wu Guogong and others are uncertain. ”

"What...... What the? The military attache on duty was sleeping in a daze at this time, yawning lazily, and after hearing this, he was first stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked, and stared at the knight with a blank look of disbelief, and his expression was extremely shocked.

"My lord, Blue Leaf City has been breached, and only a few thousand soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army have been able to escape back to Beshi Bali City!" The face of the knight with the national character face was full of gloomy expression, and he said in a deep voice.

"Oh my God, how could this be!" The military attache on duty was sure that he had heard correctly, and couldn't help muttering to himself, that's an army of 250,000, how can you say that it's gone?
