Chapter 232 Exploration
The deep palace compound, the solemn and solemn architectural style is quiet and beautiful in the heavy snow.
Xu Yuan looked at the white sky, and walked forward with the woman in red beside him.
She seems to like the bright color of fiery red.
She didn't wear the loose red gown that she used to wear, but a rather tight fiery red dress.
Xu Yuan glanced at the other party naturally.
Lost the large red robe, and finally had some ups and downs.
Acting skills need to be invested with true emotion, then ruthlessly pulled out, then go in, come out, go in, come out, and so on.
So,
When Li Qingyan noticed his gaze and glanced at him coldly, Xu Yuan just smiled and asked aloud:
"After walking so far, can you tell me what you want to ask me?"
Li Qingyan paused, staring at Xu Yuan's red lips slightly parted:
"Mr. Lou, she...has left the city?"
Xu Yuan immediately began to pretend to be confused when he heard the words:
"Ah? Didn't you seal the whole city with a formation, how did she get out?"
Li Qingyan stared at Xu Yuan's plain eyes as if looking at a fool:
"Xu Changtian, when you say this, do you think I'm brainless?"
"No."
Xu Yuan looked serious: "Don't talk nonsense."
Big chest is no brains, of course you have brains.
Li Qingyan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said directly:
"I personally prefer that she didn't go out of the city. After all, you haven't left, so if Lou Ji hasn't left the city yet, I hope you can contact her and leave the two Yunqi bullets that were sent to Zong Qingsheng and Uncle Mu. North seal the city."
Xu Yuan was thoughtful after listening, and asked:
"What if she's already gone?"
Hearing this question,
Li Qingyan's lips curled up slightly, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared straight at Xu Yuan:
"If she leaves, she will definitely ask to take you away with her, but you are still here, so now you can start thinking about how to explain to me why you want to stay in Beifeng City."
"." Xu Yuan had a slightly weird expression.
He found that these members of the royal family were more difficult to fool than one.
It was you Wu Yuan who made Xu Yuan stay in Beifeng City as a hostage, and now you are the one who left him to explain.
After a while,
Xu Yuan suddenly made a funny voice: "What are you doubting?"
Li Qingyan smiled slightly, his eyes unchanged: "What do you think I'm suspicious of?"
"How do I know what you suspect if you don't tell me?"
"I am doubting what in your own heart"
"All right, all right."
Xu Yuan raised his hand to interrupt the spellcasting: "You just suspect that I, Xu Changtian, stayed here to prepare to cause trouble in Beifeng City."
As he spoke, Xu Yuan paused, pointing at himself:
"Your Highness, do you think I, a dude, have the ability to do things in this situation?"
"Dude?"
Li Qingyan went up and down a lot of Xu Yuan, and there was a smile on his beautiful face:
"I never believed in the so-called fame, but only believed in what I saw with my own eyes."
"So what did you see?"
"Xu Changtian, after getting along this month, I don't think you look like a dude at all."
"I can beat you or me."
"." Li Qingyan.
Be quiet for a moment,
The woman in red pats the snowflakes off her shoulders:
"It seems that Lou Ji has indeed left."
Xu Yuan did not hide this anymore:
"She did go, and she did say to take me with her."
"oh?"
Li Qingyan was a little puzzled in her beautiful eyes: "Why did you suddenly want to tell me this? Did you decide how to explain it to me?"
Xu Yuan shook his head and said seriously:
"That's what my father meant."
“.”
Li Qingyan became a little helpless, as if he had expected Xu Yuan to explain it this way.
Xu Yinhe.
Since she was a child, she has heard this name from Uncle Mu often.
When I was young,
Uncle Mu’s evaluation of this Xu Gong is generally admirable, such as "one look through the ages" and "amazing strategy".
But as she grew up, Uncle Mu gradually changed from praise to this Duke Xu, who sweared at him like "thief who steals the country", "immortal thing", "scumbag who doesn't follow the way of courtiers".
Such a character is really suitable to take the blame.
After Xu Yuan saw Li Qingyan's expression, he knew in his heart that the other party didn't believe him, so he sighed and opened his mouth to lie:
"No, my lord princess, do you think I, Xu Changtian, want to stay in this ruined city?"
While speaking, Xu Yuan pointed to the south of the city:
"The gate of the city over there was bombed. Once the barbarians attack the city, we know how many days we can hold it."
"But my father said that I need my son to stay in Beifeng City as a hostage to reassure you that the future actions of our Xiangguo Mansion will not endanger the interests of the court."
Li Qingyan listened to this eloquent speech, and there was a hint of thought in his eyes:
"Didn't you say that you are a dandy, and the dandy still cares about this?"
Xu Yuan frowned, with a sullen look in his eyes:
"Li Qingyan, I, Xu Changtian, did not do personnel affairs before, but I have been obsessed with it since I was a child, and I can still handle the big picture."
Li Qingyan looked at Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan also stared at her with sincere and sincere eyes.
For a while,
Li Qingyan suddenly bent his eyes and smiled:
"It seems that Lou Ji has already prepared a retreat for you."
"." Xu Yuan's expression froze.
Damn it, I want to pretend that these women are more ruthless than the other when they tear down the stage.
in a daze,
Li Qingyan slowly raised a jade hand, caressed Xu Yuan's face, and smiled at close range, with a pair of red pupils burning like fire:
"Regardless of whether there is a way out or not, if you dare to stay in Beifeng City under such circumstances, you are worthy of the man in this palace."
Say it,
She patted Xu Yuan's shoulder with her hand:
"This matter, I am very satisfied with you."
"." Xu Yuan.
Withdrawing his hand, Li Qingyan continued to step forward and said:
"The barbarian side, it is estimated that they will start attacking the city in about two hours, and I will go to the gate tower to sit in the city immediately."
two hours
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then followed quickly, frowning and asked:
"Lou Ji told me that the barbarians are adjusting their deployment to prepare for the siege, and the siege will have to wait until at least tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow."
The heroic woman in red raised her red pupils and glanced at the white sky:
"To completely encircle Beifeng City does have to wait until tomorrow, but that barbarian King Yi will never do such a stupid thing. He will not go further north if he expands the army to the East String Gate at most."
Xu Yuan suddenly realized:
"Surrounded by masters must be missing"
"Must be absent? Good vocabulary."
Li Qingyan narrowed his phoenix eyes: "But it's more because the Yi Wang is too aware of the internal contradictions in our northern border army. As long as he puts all his troops in the south, the sects in the city will definitely have other thoughts."
Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, frowning slightly:
"You mean the sect will think about fleeing?"
"Leading the army to flee in this weather, isn't it courting death? And if Beifeng City falls, the 700,000 troops will really be alone."
Li Qingyan's voice is slightly cold:
"The army will not flee, but those high-level officials will definitely want to escape with supplies. Some of the barbarians understand my Yan language. At that time, the barbarians will definitely use this to disturb the morale of the army in the city, and lose the leadership of these people. The following There will be a gap in the time the military regroups."
The higher the position and weight, the more he cherishes his life.
It is not difficult for high-level cultivators to cross the northern mountains. As long as they are not too unlucky and blocked by barbarian strongmen, they can usually escape directly to Dayan territory.
Xu Yuan thought for a moment, then suddenly asked:
"But didn't you start fighting?"
Li Qingyan shook his head:
"Maintaining the operation of the Northern Sealed City formation is a huge expense every day. If it bears the siege equipment, the expense will become even greater. Once a fight starts, most of the source crystals will be deployed to the formation in the south of the city. Naturally, the array cannot maintain such strength."
After finishing speaking, Li Qingyan smiled comfortingly at Xu Yuan:
"Don't worry, even if the city is destroyed, you will never die before this palace."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan's heart sank, and suddenly he had a bad feeling:
"Princess, what do you mean"
Li Qingyan did not speak, and took out a pair of armor from Xumijie:
"Try it to see if it fits you."
“.”
Xu Yuan glanced at the armor of the Habayashi Army Qianhu Guards.
Da Yan's technique of engraving defensive formations on cloth clothes is still rare, but the technique of engraving armor on armor is quite mature, although expensive.
Human life is worthless in this extraordinary feudal dynasty, but martial apprentices are valuable, and the cycle of cultivating a battle-worthy soldier starts at least five years, and the elite takes ten years as a span.
Because of this, most forces are not stingy with life-saving things like armor, and the regular army basically has standard armor.
From the low-level soldiers, to the middle-level captains, to the high-level commanders, there are standard armors.
But the armor that Li Qingyan gave him should be specially made, and his mind and soul could sense some complicated and mysterious patterns on it.
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan stretched out his hand to take it, and asked softly:
"I don't know what His Highness means"
Li Qingyan pursed his lips and smiled:
"From now on, you are the only personal guard in this Palace."
Xu Yuan's mouth twitched:
"only?"
While speaking, the two had already walked to a courtyard.
Li Qingyan pushed open the courtyard door and said casually:
"When my cultivation base was low, I followed Uncle Mu. When my cultivation base was high, I naturally didn't need personal guards, so you are the first one."
The small pool in the courtyard has been frozen, and the pavilions and pavilions are covered under thick snow, but the stone road seems to be made of special material, and the snow will disappear as soon as it hits the ground.
Walking on the stone road together, Xu Yuan said:
"As for doing this? There is no need for me to hide my identity in this situation."
Personal guards are equivalent to 24-hour personal bodyguards, approximately equal to being unable to attend the third prince's invitation tonight, approximately equal to almost impossible for him to do something in the future.
Li Qingyan seemed to have guessed what Xu Yuan was thinking, and looked coldly at him:
"War together, there is not only a large defensive formation, but also an army formation. The safest place is around my palace."
Xu Yuan did not agree, saying:
"The war has not started yet, so don't be so anxious."
Li Qingyan frowned slightly, but immediately seemed to understand something, and turned his eyes to him:
"Did you and Li Yunqing finish talking in that pavilion earlier?"
"." Xu Yuan.
This washboard princess seems to be a little too sensitive. If the engagement is really concluded, it may not be easy to fool her when she goes out after marriage.
Well, the big ice dumpling is still the cutest.
She believed whatever he said.
I miss the first day of Dabingduozi.
Xu Yuan was thinking about these messy things in his mind, when Li Qingyan suddenly said unexpectedly:
"In this case, you will come to Bengong's side as a personal guard tomorrow."
"." Xu Yuan looked a little surprised.
This woman actually let him go?
Li Qingyan's beautiful face softened slightly in the wind and snow, and a pair of phoenix eyes met his gaze, and said slowly:
"If you want to go to a place like Goulan, I won't stop you before you get married."
Xu Yuan subconsciously stopped, looking at Li Qingyan's tall back, his eyes were stunned.
But immediately,
He heard Li Qingyan's remaining words faintly:
"Although I don't know what you want to talk about with Li Yunqing, but if it involves taking over the heirloom, I suggest you not to participate indiscriminately. I will not be the same as Li Yunqing."
Say it,
She pushed open the door of her wing and walked straight in.
Xu Yuan stood there in a daze.
Hiss.
What does this woman's last words mean?
followed into the room,
Xu Yuan looked around, locked on the woman in red who was tying her hair in the room of the furnishing brief introduction, and asked directly:
"Hey, what do you mean by that last sentence?"
Li Qingyan took out a hairpin from the Sumeru Ring, gathered the long straight black hair that was scattered behind him, and neatly tied it into a bun, and replied softly:
"literal meaning."
Xu Yuan went to sit down opposite Li Qingyan, and asked:
"If you don't support the crown prince, you are planning to support the second emperor."
Li Qingyan stared at Xu Yuan helplessly:
"Chang Tian, in your opinion, for the royal family to seize the heir apparent, a prince must stand?"
Xu Yuan took a deep breath, and continued acting to test:
"You want me to be the prince."
"madness."
Li Qingyan **** her hair and stood up. Her tall figure and simple ball head made her look more heroic. Her eyes were slightly cold for a moment:
"The Great Yan has external troubles and internal troubles, and the sufferings of the common people. Whoever is willing to solve it, and whoever can solve it, I will support whoever."
“.”
Xu Yuan put the armor on the table in front of him, and let out a breath.
have to,
He thought that the washboard princess was going to be an empress.
As expected, he was raised by Marquis Wu Cheng, who only protects the emperor, but not the exact person.
I was thinking,
Xu Yuan's eyes suddenly froze, staring at the woman in red opposite him:
"what you do?"
Li Qingyan untied the belt around his waist, and his voice was as calm as water:
"Change clothes and wear armor."
Xu Yuan didn't blink, with a serious expression:
"Do you need help?"
Li Qingyan met his gaze, without any shyness on his face:
"You seem to really want to help Ben Gong wear armor?"
paused,
Her red pupil revealed a mocking smile:
"Oh no, you seem to want to help me undress more."
During discourse,
The red clothes fell to the ground, and the room was silent.
Xu Yuan's eyes widened at first, then disappointed, then surprised.
A beautiful and seductive vest line has been drawn on the white and flat belly of the stunning woman, but it disappears when it goes up.
A characteristic chest wrap is so tightly wrapped that it is completely unreal.
