The queen was sitting in front of the warm stove feeding breast milk to the little prince in her arms. The female official Muer was whispering something in the queen's ear. The queen was easy-going, laughing from time to time, or teasing Muer, and Muer laughed so hard that her eyes turned into a crescent moon, and the two got along very well.
Suddenly, a noise sounded outside. The queen and Mu'er looked at each other and saw a hint of suspicion in each other's eyes. The queen simply got up and handed the little prince to Mu'er, wiped the milk left on her nipples, then stuffed it into her clothes and wrapped it in a fluffy coat.
After doing all this, the door of the room was pushed open with a "bang". The queen stared coldly at the person who pushed the door open, and said dissatisfiedly: "Li Yun, you are not the kind of rude person!"
After a night of recovery, Li Yun's injuries had almost recovered. Under the bandage of the wound, the blood had already scarred, but his expression seemed a little anxious, even a little angry. However, he glanced at Mu'er, who was standing in the room, holding the prince, and restrained his tone: "My Majesty, I have heard something, and I want to come to you for verification."
The queen gave Mu'er a wink, and Mu'er hugged the little prince and hid behind the screen.
Li Yun glanced at the warm stove and felt the "crackling sound" of the burning firewood inside was particularly harsh. Before the queen could speak, he couldn't help but say, "His Majesty Queen. I heard from the people in the parliament that you actually sent Wang Sancai as cannon fodder?"
"Yes, this is my personal agreement with him." The queen raised her eyebrows and said in a rushing tone: "I wonder what you think?"
Li Yun realized that his attitude was wrong and sighed: "Sorry, Your Majesty Queen, I just want to say, isn't it a bit unfair to Wang Sancai?"
"Unfair?" the queen said something.
Without further consideration, Li Yun said, "His Majesty Queen, he just saved you and the prince yesterday. In a blink of an eye, you actually sent him to take a group of people to die. I also know that there will definitely be no danger based on his strength. But this is a completely question of attitude. Every innate strong man has his own self-esteem and glory. If you use him as cannon fodder, aren't you afraid that he will be dissatisfied with our Li Guo?"
The queen did not answer his doubts. Instead, she asked back: "Do you know what agreement is between me and him?"
When the queen asked this, Li Yun's tone became even more irritable: "I came to find His Majesty the Queen because I knew it! Your Majesty the Queen, don't forget. The Bai family..."
"Shut up!" The queen interrupted him sternly: "How I arrange it naturally has my purpose!"
Li Yun calmed down his tone, but still couldn't hide his anger: "Are you not afraid of angering Wang Sancai if you do this?!"
The queen said almost in accusing tone: "Li Yun, please pay attention. The assessment agreed between me and Wang Sancai is just a simple assessment that I can trust."
"I'm afraid he doesn't think so simply like His Majesty the Queen." Li Yun's tone was a bit sarcastic: "His Majesty Queen, we can't lose the innate powers in Wang Sancai."
"He is not that kind of person." The queen's tone was quite certain: "The conversations with him yesterday were enough to see that he was not a person who was unreputable and unprincipled. He had favored me, but did not ask for any benefits or privileges for this, so it was enough to see that his personality was not as despicable as you thought."
"Okay, I'm despicable." Li Yun sneered: "It's me who judges a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
Seeing his appearance, the queen felt a little reluctant: "Li Yun, can you stop like this?"
Li Yun took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions that surged in his heart: "Your Majesty, I hope your decision is correct. Don't forget that one of your decisions is enough to affect the entire kingdom behind you."
Leaving this sentence, Li Yun turned around and went out immediately.
The queen followed: "When did I disappoint you and the Council?"
"No." Li Yun sighed in the distance: "But this time, we will at least prepare for the war in secret."
...
It was approaching dusk in a blink of an eye and the sky gradually became darker.
Deputy Sima sat on the ground and let the heavy snow in the air sprinkle on him at will, with no expression on his face.
There was a bonfire in front of him, and there were teams of leather soldiers around him, and some scattered horses. If you count carefully, you would know that there would be less than thirty horses.
The soldiers' expressions were dull. They all knew that they would die soon. They had known this result since they were ordered to come here to investigate in advance last night. Deputy Sima looked at the soldiers with numb expressions and couldn't help but look at Wang Sancai, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.
Since Wang Sancai came here in the morning, he has been sitting with his eyes closed. Except for the fact that he had made a lot of food from noon to fill the stomachs of more than 200 people, he had almost never opened his eyes.
"Sir, eat some, we can't be a starving ghost, right?" A soldier held a skewer of grilled horse meat and handed it to Sima with a smile.
Deputy Sima shook his head numbly and said, "I won't eat frozen horse meat. Please give the others some points so that all brothers can warm up before they die."
While saying this, Deputy Sima looked at the skeletons of three horses that were frozen to death in the early morning, and a little bit of resistance appeared on his face.
The soldier insisted on handing the hot horse meat to Deputy Guard Sima: "Sir, you came to accompany your brothers early this morning. The brothers were very moved. The brothers all swore that they must not let you be a starving ghost, but there is really nothing else to eat here, so just let it go."
The genius wants to come so early!
Deputy Sima cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he could never say this. He only heard him say lightly: "I, Sima Kuang, never settled in this life, and this time is naturally no exception, take it away!"
The soldier bit his lip tightly, but could only shrink his hand holding the horse meat back and said sincerely: "Sir, you strictly discipline yourself and be loyal to the kingdom in this life, and the people will definitely remember you!"
Deputy Sima replied casually: "They will remember you too."
But what I wanted to say in my heart was: I don’t want them to remember me.
After seeing this, the soldier could only shake his head and sigh and stand up, holding the horse meat slowly walked away and distributed it to his companions.
"The snow is covered with cold wind, and more than 200 people are heartbroken." Deputy Sima Sima murmured at the sky, with a feeling of "the wind is whispering and the Yishui is cold" in his tone.
"I can't tell that a person as rough as Sima's deputy lieutenant can make such a good sentence." Wang Sancai suddenly opened his eyes and then stood up.
Deputy Sima knew that his life was about to come to an end, and he no longer had any dissatisfaction and complaints with Wang Sancai. He sighed extremely, and even laughed at himself: "What's the use of this?"
Wang Sancai ignored his feelings, suddenly looked shaking, and said seriously: "Deputy Sima, tell them to prepare, the enemy is coming."
