If everything could come back

Chang'an Palace

The man in bright yellow sat in the room and slapped the table furiously, "Hmph! What a Pegasus ranch, it dares to refuse even Li Tang's business!"

"Your Majesty calm down, it's not good to hurt your body." A flattering voice came into his ears, and half of the furious Li Yuan's anger disappeared immediately.

"How can you not be angry with me? Recently, Li Tang has retreated a lot. The people of the world have sent troops to me without authorization to destroy all the black armored cavalry. Now even the Pegasus Ranch, which has been providing us with war horses, is going to fight with me. Li Tang draws a clear line, how can you make me calm my anger." Speaking of this, Li Yuan was furious again.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that there is another backer behind this Pegasus Ranch, so I stopped doing business with Li Tang." She said all this calmly, as if she didn't understand it all, she sat next to Li Yuan It was Dong Shuni.

"Why does Aifei say that? Could it be that Aifei has learned something?"

"Your Majesty, this concubine is just a little concubine, and she speaks lightly. I don't know if I should say this. I am afraid that others will say that my concubine has interfered with the government." She spoke seriously, with a little fear in her tone, and Dong Shuni grasped it just right. .

"I promise you to say what you say, but no one here dares to say anything about you!" Li Yuan's tone was beyond doubt.

Dong Shuni revealed a smile after hearing this, and then covered it up, and put on a sincere and fearful look, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Shang Xiuxun, the owner of the Pegasus Ranch, will soon marry Song Shidao, Song Shidao's younger sister, Song Yuzhi It's a relationship with Kou Zhong."

"You mean that the Pegasus Ranch no longer supports Li Tang because of its relationship with the Song Clan, but instead encourages the Young Marshal's Army?"

"The concubine dare not lie, the concubine only knows that if Song Yuzhi stays with Kou Zhong for a day, I am afraid that the Pegasus Ranch will not cooperate with Li Tang for a day." The voice lingered in Li Yuan's ear, like a curse .

"Then what can my concubine do?"

"The concubine feels that the emperor can ask the concubine to go to the Pegasus Ranch in person to discuss cooperation with them."

"You go?"

"That's right, it's the concubine. The emperor may not know that the concubine had a relationship with Song Yuzhi in the past and was as close as a sister. If the concubine goes there, maybe Yuzhi will sell Suni for the sake of her past love." Dong Shuni said A string of words really said "sincerely".

"But how do you know that Song Yuzhi will definitely be at Pegasus Ranch?"

"Your Majesty, even if Yuzhi is not here, I think she will definitely come to see me if she knows I'm here." While speaking, the picture of herself, Yuzhi and Kou Zhong laughing and laughing in the past kept appearing in her mind, and she clenched her hands unconsciously. , the resentment in his eyes was fleeting.

"Shuni, you are a woman who wants to run around for me, Li Tang, it's really hard work for you." Li Yuan put Dong Shuni's hand in his palm.

"For the sake of the emperor, no matter how hard the concubine works." After finishing speaking, Dong Shuni leaned into Li Yuan's arms.

"Don't worry, I will send five hundred elite soldiers to escort you to the Pegasus Ranch. They will all obey your orders. If there is anything you want, just ask them to carry it out."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Dong Shuni left Li Yuan's arms, "By the way, Your Majesty, the concubines don't want to say anything about this, so as not to make people in the court fall for the Emperor's words."

"My dear concubine, you are really thinking of me in everything, don't worry, the five hundred elite soldiers will follow you in casual clothes immediately."

"The concubine will definitely not disappoint the emperor's painstaking efforts." She stood up and walked to Li Yuan, bowed her head and knelt down, with a fierce look on her face.Song Yuzhi, do you still remember your good sister?Neither you nor Li Xiuning can get Kou Zhong!

The day after Dong Shuni left, Xiuning came to the hall to greet Li Yuan. Although she went back to Chang'an to plead guilty with Li Shimin, she was also punished by Li Yuan to stay behind closed doors in Qianxiu Palace and reflect on her past mistakes. Please An has to face Dong Shuni's exaggerations and insinuations towards her.Xiuning took a deep breath and got ready.

"Xiu Ning pays respects to Father Emperor." Xiu Ning knelt down slightly to salute.

"Get up." A lazy voice was the answer.

"Thank you, father." Xiu Ning stood up and looked at Li Yuan. Dong Shuni is not here today?

"Xiu Ning, you don't have to come to pay your respects these days. I'm a little tired and want to take a good rest for a few days."

"Is the father unwell? Do you want Xiuning to see the imperial doctor?" Xiuning was still nervous about Li Yuan.

"I just need to take a good rest because I'm worried about state affairs recently. It's nothing serious. Xiuning, you don't have to be nervous." Li Yuan replied lightly.

Hearing that Li Yuan said it was fine, Xiuning felt relieved, "By the way, why didn't Concubine Dong accompany her father today?" She used to see Dong Shuni by Li Yuan's side every day, almost inseparable, but now when Li Yuan was worried, It's strange that Dong Shuni is not there.

"Oh... Shuni... She is not feeling well, so I let her rest. Xiuning, you go down to rest too, I'm tired." Li Yuan used his usual nickname in the last sentence.

"Then Xiuning will not disturb the rest of the father, and my daughter will leave." Xiuning retreated outside the hall, thinking that Li Yuan was obviously unable to answer just now, did something else happen?After thinking for a moment, Xiuning told Qiu Ru, her maid, "Qiu Ru, prepare some supplements, and follow me to Concubine Dong's place."

"Yes, Miss." Since Li Jing's death, Xiuning has specially allowed Hongfu to stay in Li's residence to help take care of things, so she doesn't have to be with her anymore, and Qiuru is a new servant girl transferred to her, although she is not as strong in martial arts as Hongfu. , but she is also considered clever, and she is very satisfied with her. Now that they have been together for a while, they are very close.

Xiu Ning walked to the gate of the palace, Qiu Ru followed behind, and before the guards at the gate could speak, she said first, "Xiu Ning knew that Concubine Dong is not feeling well, so she came to see her and wanted to send some supplements to Concubine Dong."

"The princess has a heart, but the emperor has ordered that without his permission, no one is allowed to disturb Concubine Dong." The soldier bowed to Xiu Ning and did not intend to make way.

"So that's the case, so Xiu Ning won't bother you anymore." She turned and left.

Ganxiu Palace

"Miss, what's wrong with Concubine Dong? She wants guards to guard the gate of the palace, not even letting you in." Qiuru was puzzled. She usually saw Concubine Dong sneering at Miss. Now that she was ill, Miss was kind enough to go and see her. She was turned away, she is really a beauty.

"Qiu Ru, do you think it's more appropriate for an empress to be guarded by a doctor and a maid when she's sick? Then why are they guards?" Xiu Ning asked with a smile.

Qiu Ru heard what Xiuning said, and naturally felt something was wrong, "Is this Concubine Dong not sick? Then why doesn't she come out to see people?"

"Maybe she can't come out to meet people?" Xiu Ning said to herself.

"Miss, do you mean that Concubine Dong is not in Aimu Shu's Palace at all?" Everyone said that Qiu Ru was clever, and she really knew everything.

Li Xiuning stood up suddenly, and said immediately: "Qiu Ru, I can't leave the palace now, you go to Li's mansion to help me find Hong Fu, ask her to tell me about what happened in Chang'an recently, and also ask her to check these things for me. Is there any suspicious person out of the city?"

"Understood, miss, I'll go right away."

Xiu Ning suddenly panicked inexplicably, hoping that she was thinking too much, but nothing happened at all.Second brother, I wonder how you are doing?

Yin Gui School

Wan Hou is sitting leisurely on a chair, this chair... Evil King Shi Zhixuan used to sit with her master in his arms...

"See the master." A female disciple came to salute.

"What's the matter?" Wan Hou lifted her foot and sat herself upright on the chair. This is the female disciple she sent to watch Chang'an's every move.

"Master, a large number of ordinary people in Chang'an left the city at the end of yesterday."

"Oh?" What kind of tricks is this Li family going to do? "Approximately how many are they? Are they together or scattered?"

"About a few hundred people, all dressed in different clothes, didn't seem to be together, but they left the city one after another during this time."

"I see, you go back and help me keep an eye on it, and notify me as soon as you have any news."

"Yes."

After the people left, Hou Hou continued to lie down on the chair and think. It is not surprising that hundreds of people enter and leave the city in a day, but they are all crowded in Weishi?Is it a premeditated large number of people leaving the city?Does this have anything to do with Ziling and the others?No matter what, at least go to Ziling to have a look.Thinking of this, she stroked the bell ring on her hand, Ziling, I'm going to see you again.

Ganxiu Palace

"Miss, I'm back." Qiu Ru rushed in, ignoring her slightly messy bun.

"How about Qiuru?" Xiuning eagerly went up to her.

"Sister Hongfu said that nothing major has happened in Chang'an City recently. I only know that the person sent by the emperor to buy war horses at the Pegasus Ranch returned to the palace yesterday, so there is no news. Also, sister Hongfu found out that it was not until yesterday. A large number of people left the city, about 500 people."

"Five hundred...Qiu Ru, help me go to the record room of the Minister of the Ministry of War to check. How many soldiers are there in Chang'an now? How many original soldiers are there in each department."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

"Wait!" Xiu Ning stopped Qiu Ru, and sat down to think again, "If the father intends to let the soldiers out of the city secretly, it will not be recorded..." Xiu Ning sat quietly and said nothing, and Qiu Ru beside him could only wait and worry. .

Not a moment later, she got up again and took out a bag of silver from her closet, handed it to Qiuru and said, "Qiuru, you go to find Eunuch Yan who has been serving the emperor all this time, remember! Just ask him these few questions That's good." Xiuning whispered in Qiuru's ear for a while, and Qiuru left immediately after listening.

All she can do now is wait.

"Miss, I'm back." Qiu Ru was already sweating profusely, she didn't dare to delay for a moment, seeing that Miss was so nervous, something must have happened.

"how?"

"I asked Eunuch Yan when was the last time he saw Concubine Dong? Eunuch Yan said it was Si o'clock yesterday. I asked Eunuch Yan what were Concubine Dong and the emperor doing at that time? Eunuch Yan said that the emperor and Concubine Dong were together at that time." After hearing a report about going to the Pegasus Ranch to buy war horses, he retired with that person, leaving only Concubine Dong and the emperor. I asked Eunuch Yan how the emperor was feeling at that time? Eunuch Yan said that the emperor frowned deeply and fisted Hold it tightly, for fear that it is about to get angry."

After hearing this, Xiu Ning immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote on the table for a while, then put the paper in an envelope and sealed it and handed it to Qiu Ru, "Qiu Ru, please find someone to help me send this letter to Luoyang and hand it over to the Young Marshal's Mansion." In Kou Zhong's hands, remember to be quick."

"Understood, miss." Qiu Ru flew out for the third time.

Lingnan

The Song family is now gathered in the meeting hall, starting from a communication a little earlier.

"Uncle Song, I'd better go back to Pegasus Ranch." Shang Xiuxun stood up and said.

"No, you and Shidao will get married in less than half a month, how can you leave at this time? What's more, Li Tang is not a good person, you can't go back and take risks." Song Que was resolute.

"But I can't leave the Pegasus Ranch alone." It's impossible for Shang Xiuxun to leave the Pegasus Ranch no matter what she does, because she has suspended the big business of the Pegasus Ranch because of her wedding preparations, Li Tang just now Come on, it was her negligence.What's more, if she wants to marry into the Song family, the Pegasus Ranch will naturally belong to the Song family along with her. Business dealings can't be so unscrupulous, and she has to go and explain it to Li Tang in person.

Everyone fell silent...

"Father, sister Xiuxun, let me go." Yuzhi said.

"Yuzhi, you are not allowed to go either. Li Tang is currently in a stalemate with Kou Zhong's young commander, and with the serious damage to his troops recently, Li Tang is imminent. Now the support of Pegasus Ranch is very important to them. Do you know how dangerous it is for girls to deal with them? Besides, you don't understand business." Song Que would never allow anyone in the Song family to take risks.

"Yuzhi, dad is right! You and Xiuxun are not allowed to go." Song Shidao said, he looked at Yuzhi and Shang Xiuxun beside him, these are the two most important women in his life, how could he let They are in danger.

Looking at the two men who are so nervous in front of her, Yuzhi feels warm in her heart. She understands the worries of her father and elder brother, but she has to face some things.

"Father, brother, I know that even if we don't do anything, Li Tang will not dare to attack the Song family in Lingnan. But as sister Xiuxun said, the Pegasus Ranch cannot be left alone, it is sister Xiuxun's hard work." Yu Zhi Knowing that these words are useful, "Father, elder brother, sister Xiuxun, don't worry, it's absolutely fine to let me go. Suni is my former good sister, and she won't make things difficult for me. Also, although I don't know how to talk about business, this time There is no need to discuss business, but I just want to make it clear to Li Tang that the Pegasus Ranch will no longer provide Li Tang with war horses, right, sister Xiuxun?" She said a series of words calmly, as if it was just a little thing.Seeing Shang Xiuxun nodding, she immediately gave Song Que a confident smile.

Song Que knew that he had nothing to do with his precious daughter, "Father is really mad at you... It's always dangerous for you to go alone as a girl, and Dad sent a group of elite soldiers to follow you."

"No need dad, Suni came to the Pegasus Ranch alone to talk with us, but I brought a group of soldiers and horses. It's our fault to say it. Besides, Suni doesn't know martial arts. If you want to fight, I will win, okay? Besides, even if I can’t do it, there are still many people in Pegasus Ranch! Right, Miss Xiuxun! So dad, you can rest assured to wait for me in Lingnan, I will definitely come back as soon as possible! Sister's wedding." She looked at Song Shidao and Shang Xiuxun beside her, and both of them couldn't help bowing their heads.

"You girl, daddy can't say no to you. But when you go out, you still have to take precautions, you know?"

"Understood, dad, then I'll go and prepare first."

Yuzhi casually packed up some luggage and set off. Before leaving, Shang Xiuxun didn't forget to tell her to be careful, and she promised she would.

Suni, because I let you meet Kou Zhong; let Kou Zhong use you; turned you into Concubine Dong; finally let you live in hatred.So, whether it is for you or for Kou Zhong, I have to see you. If you want to take revenge, you can take revenge on me. This is what I deserve.

Luoyang

The arrival of a table of pink clothes made the deserted Young Marshal's Mansion finally liven up.

"The witch didn't expect us to part for a short time, you are so anxious to find us." Kou Zhong teased Houhou who came from afar, and elbowed Ziling next to him.

"I'm here to look for Ziling, so it's none of your business!" Houhou choked back at Kou Zhong mercilessly, then turned around and went to Ziling's side to wrap his hands around his neck.

Seeing Feixuan standing aside, Ziling immediately helped down and hooked his hand, "Wuhou, stop playing."

"Okay, I came here specially to tell you about Li Tang, but you are so heartless, I don't bother to care about you."

"Wait, witch, what news do you have from Li Tang?" Kou Zhong finally became serious.

When Hou Hou got it wrong, he still ignored him, Kou Zhong had no choice but to signal to Ziling, he pushed him to Houhou's side, and asked him to say something meaningly, Ziling had no choice but to soften up. "I'm sorry, I was too serious just now, I apologize to you."

"Yes, Houhou, I also apologize to you on Ziling's behalf." Feixuan on the side also said with a smile, she knew that Houhou would not be really angry.

"Ah, there's really nothing I can do about you." Wan Hou subdued, and she knew she couldn't last long. "My disciple found out that a large number of people in Chang'an left the city three days ago."

"How many people are there?"

"About 500 people."

"It's all in the future?"

"Well, it's almost at this time that they are leaving the city one after another. I'm afraid that Li Tang is trying to harm you, so I'll tell you as soon as possible, and see what's going on with you."

"But there is no movement in Luoyang." Ziling was puzzled, and he and Kou Zhong exchanged glances.

"Maybe I think too much, as long as you are fine."

Although nothing happened in Luoyang, Kou Zhong felt that it was not so simple.

"Young Marshal, there is a letter from Chang'an, and I want it to be delivered to you by name." A soldier came to report, and he presented the letter to Kou Zhong.

"You said it was sent by Chang'an?" Kou Zhong took the letter.

"Yes, young commander."

"Okay, you go down."

"Subordinates retire."

Everyone gathered around, Kou Zhong couldn't wait to open the letter, and a beautiful piece of paper came into view.

From Kou Zhong personally:

Since returning to Chang'an, Xiuning has been arranged by her father to shut herself in the palace to think about her mistakes and not leave the palace. It is equivalent to confinement, and there are many things Shu Xiuning cannot know.Recently, it was learned that 500 people from Chang'an left the city at one time, and Concubine Dong also disappeared in the palace at one time. Went to the Pegasus Ranch to discuss the purchase of war horses, but came back disappointed, and my father was furious. Concubine Dong’s departure may be detrimental to the Pegasus Ranch, so Xiu Ning sent this letter to inform you, I hope you can go to the Pegasus Ranch to reverse the situation big picture.

Xiuning's own handwriting

A page of words is written in a simple way, concise and to the point. After all, Xiu Ning knows that Kou Zhong can't understand the eloquent words, and the short letter makes everyone present finally understand the reason.

"Okay, help me get ready, I want to go to the Pegasus Ranch immediately." Kou Zhong will never allow any damage to the Pegasus Ranch, no matter it is for Lu Miaozi or himself, let alone Shang Xiuxun and Song Shidao After getting married, she will soon be Yuzhi's sister-in-law, and he will never allow any possibility of hurting Yuzhi, so he wants to keep the Pegasus Ranch out of reason.

"Young Master Zhong, I'll go with you." Ziling stepped forward to put Kou Zhong's shoulder.

"No need for Young Master Ling, I can handle it alone, Luoyang cannot be without someone to take charge of the overall situation." Kou Zhong looked back.

"Young Master Zhong, I don't trust you alone."

"Master Ling, I have magical powers to protect my body. Are you afraid that I won't be able to deal with this mere [-] elite soldiers? Don't forget the battle of Luoxu." Kou Zhong reminded.

Ziling knew he couldn't beat Kou Zhong, "Young Master Zhong, then you must be careful."

"rest assured."

Since Kou Zhong set off, Ziling has been absent-minded. He always feels that this matter will not be easily resolved. In the past, Kou Zhong broke through the siege of Luoyang alone and challenged the black-armored cavalry with ease. This time he just went to help the Pegasus Ranch. Why did it make him so uneasy?

Feixuan on the side seemed to have seen through Ziling's thoughts, "Ziling, go if you want."

"Feixuan..."

"I know you're worried about Kou Zhong, if that's the case, go help him quickly." After all, Feixuan knew Ziling best.

"But Luoyang..." "Isn't there still something wrong here in Luoyang?" Wan Hou interrupted Ziling's concerns.

"Wu Wan..."

"Mr. Xu, hurry up, I will wait for you and Mr. Kou in Luoyang!"

"Okay, since everyone encourages you to go, Ziling, don't hesitate." Wan Hou walked to Ziling.

Ziling looked at the crowd, he had made up his mind, he put his hand on Xu Xingzhi's shoulder and said, "Okay, Luoyang will be handed over to you!"

"Yes, Young Marshal Xu!" Xu Xingzhi promised.

"That Ziling, let's go quickly." Houhou urged Ziling's hand as usual.

"Wuhou, you..." "What are you and me? You don't necessarily want me to wait for you in Luoyang, right? Of course I will go wherever you go!" What Wuhou said was taken for granted, but Ziling looked at Feixuan unnaturally. .

Feixuan understood, "Yes, Ziling, you should leave as soon as possible. I will wait for your return in Luoyang with Army Master Xu."

"Did you hear that?" Wan Wan and Fei Xuan looked at each other with a smile, and glanced at Zi Ling triumphantly.

Ziling had no choice but to say, "Then let's go." After saying goodbye to Feixuan and Xu Xingzhi, Ziling and Wanwan rushed to the Pegasus Ranch immediately.
