.

Seeing that he looked at him like a drowning man holding a life-saving straw, Chen De felt unbearable and comforted him: "The city of Jinling is high and the pool is deep, and the soldiers are sophisticated that he has enough food. If he can hold on for a year or two, the Song army may retreat if he can't capture the city."

"Take it seriously?" Liu Yi asked anxiously for fear that Chen De would just deal with him casually.

Chen De nodded and said in a deep voice: "Be serious. Sun Tzu's Art of War says that if you build a 100,000 troops and go a thousand miles to fight, the people's expenses and the public's service will cost a thousand gold a day. If you have a dull army to defeat sharpness, you will be forced to defeat your city, and if you have a long force, you will be unable to use the country. If you have dull army to defeat sharpness, you will be unable to do anything about your money. If you have a wise man, you will be unable to do your best." He came to this era, and by chance, he became a general with heavy troops, and privately

He also made up for Sun Tzu's Art of War. At this time, he was just a little quoting. Liu Yi nodded without stopping. He said: "From the current situation, although the Song State is large and the military strength is strong, how can he be surrounded by strong enemies on all sides? Khitan and Taiyuan are powerful. If these more than 200,000 imperial guards were dragged in Jiangnan for a long time, it would inevitably give people the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to enter. I am afraid that the person who sits on the dragon throne in Kaifeng will not be able to sleep at night."

Liu Yi turned his worries into joy and said with a smile: "It's good that way, Brother Chen, you are really a talented person. I will contact my colleagues. We must ensure that you are regained and reused, and lead the army to drive the Song people back to Jiangbei."

Seeing that he believed in him so much, Chen De couldn't help but feel moved and bowed to thank him: "Brother Liu, the most taboo thing in the court is to form a clerk. You are a censor in the court, and I am a general in command of the army. Some personal relationships are acceptable. If you contact my colleagues, you will be able to give someone a handle. Moreover, Hu Ze, the commander of the Tiande Army, is a long-time general in the army and is good at defending the city. He is now in charge of the Jinling city defense. Even if he uses me, he will not be able to do better than him."

Liu Yi nodded in disappointment, picked up the wine glass and said, "No matter what, the country is in trouble, Brother Chen, you must cheer up."

Chen De also raised his glass and fucked him. The two of them had their own thoughts, and they talked less. Finally, they supported each other and returned home.

When he returned to the mansion, it was already late. Chen De immediately found a basin of cold water to pour himself thoroughly from head to toe. His thin wine immediately woke up. Because he was attending the Xinglin Banquet specially for the new Jinshi, he picked a black Confucian robe, stuffed the mask of his night clothes into his cuffs, and then rode his horse to the palace for the banquet.

The Apricot Garden Banquet was not held in the apricot garden, but was because it inherited the name of the previous dynasty. Since the beginning of Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty, the new Jinshi released the title when the spring flowers were in full bloom, and the royal family gave the banquet in Qujiang Garden, where a large apricot trees were planted widely in Chang'an, so it was also called the "Apricot Garden Banquet". Before the banquet, young and handsome people had to be selected from the new Jinshi to ride horses and enter various gardens in Chang'an to enjoy the fun. This Jinshi was called "Tanhualang", which was another romantic story.

In previous years, the results were released in March and spring flowers were lush. This year, the Song army delayed the start of the exam because of the invasion of the south. It was already May, and it was already green, red and thin, and its youth had already faded. But the palace had its own method in the palace. The palace maids tied various silks and satin into silk flowers and tied them to the trees, making them colorful and colorful, competing for beauty. It was really a skill.

After Chen De arrived at the garden where the banquet was held in the palace, he found a secluded seat with a good view. Looking around, there were almost no military generals in the court who came to attend the Xinglin banquet. Generally, civil officials shook their heads and bowed with the Jinshi, recognized his disciples in the same year, and there were also a few old Hanlins with white haired expressions reminiscing about the scene at that time. However, no one paid attention to Chen De, an uninvited guest. In fact, Chen De still had the title of a scattered cavalry attendant, and he was half a civil servant, and with a few good words copied, he was also considered a talented person. But who made him a general who was suspicious of the court? The literati had the most sensitive sense of smell. Although he was given an increase in his position on the surface, a discerning person knew that the court was not at ease with this person at a glance, so everyone was unwilling to talk to him, so that one day he would not be able to get along with it.

Not long after, Li Yu came to the garden with Zhou Hou's company. Huang Wen followed them as usual, but the skirt of the female Shi's body turned into the court robes of the concubines. Due to the 150,000 troops of Hukou camp, the emperor's face was a little gloomy, but today is a happy day for the new Jinshi. He still forced a smile, and Chen De felt a little sympathetic in his heart. Huang Wen's face had a faint expression, no joy or worry, and his eyes were empty, and there was no such bright eyes and kindness. He felt that there was only one body left in his whole body, which made Chen De feel heartbroken.

Lu Ying followed Li Yu, who was a professor of the Imperial College and one of the chief examiners of the Jinshi class this time, so he introduced to Li Yu to all the young Jinshis who passed the imperial examination. Li Yu also said some praise to these new Jinshis with a smile, talking about some literary matters. The nature gradually became stronger, and in the end he really forgot the current troubles of the enemy and started chatting and laughing with the Jinshis.

Perhaps it was a special feeling. On the first moment he stepped into the banquet, Lu Ying saw Chen De. He stared at him deeply. Chen De picked up the wine glass at him with a smile, raised his neck and drank it all.

At the Xinglin Banquet, there was a need to recite poems and reconcile. Huang Wen was still responsible for recording the lyrics written by ministers and Jinshi. Because Chen De had been sitting in a remote place and Li Yu had never seen him, he did not let him get up to write lyrics. This situation fell into the eyes of those who were interested, and it was another sign of Chen De's fall from favor, and it was far away from him. The new Jinshi did not understand his background. He was either proud or treacherous, and no one would come to make friends with Chen De's papers.

Until the paper was finished, Huang Wen personally sent the poems written by Li Yu and his ministers to the Jianye study for preservation, which was the opportunity that Chen De had been waiting for. He took advantage of the inattention and slowly retreated into the shadow of the tree. He went to a place where no one was watching, lifted up his robe and tied it around his waist, took out a black mask from his sleeve to cover his head and face, and then avoided the palace maid and eunuchs in the palace who were like butterflies, and hid in the palace before coming to Jianye study. He saw that there was a lamp inside, but no one was on duty at the door. Chen De took off his mask, gently pushed the door open a gap, and flashed in, just as he saw Huang Wen turn around.

Huang Wen opened her eyes wide and almost screamed. Then she bit her lip tightly, staring at Chen De, desperately holding back her tears.

Chen De closed the door, walked to Huang Wen in one step, opened his arms and hugged her tightly, and the two of them remained silent for so long.

After a while, Huang Wen whispered in a low voice: "How can you still come to see me?" She is also a smart person in Bingxue. She thought a little bit, and then guessed the whole story, and said in a crying voice: "Don't you know this is a death sentence? Why do you still have to come? Why don't you leave quickly!" As she spoke, she was about to force Chen Dehuai to push him out with both hands.

Chen De hugged her soft body firmly and asked in a deep voice: "Do you really want to be this imperial concubine with peace of mind?"

Huang Wen raised her head, her eyes were swollen, and she cried and said, "God will do anything to others. Your Majesty has already told the world to sign me a concubine. Do you want to bear the reputation of a traitor and be despised by the world for a woman?"

Chen De whispered: "So what? A real man is not afraid of the criticism of thousands of people, but wants to be worthy of his guilt! Even a woman cannot protect her, so why do you still talk about success or fame!"

Huang Wen was so scared that she opened her eyes wide by the three-point ruthlessness he had in his words. Chen De explained: "The world is big, Jiangnan is just a small boat. We can leave Jiangnan and go to a place where no one knows us, go to Jiangbei and the Western Regions. I know there is a big city called Dunhuang, with rich cultural relics and a gathering of classics, and you will definitely like it."

"Really?" Huang Wen murmured with some longing when moved by Chen De's description of the future.

"Really, I will make careful plans. Once the Song army withdrew, we will leave Jinling." Chen De felt relieved when Huang Wen's face was no longer as empty as it was when she was originally, and gently pinched her cheek and asked, "Huang Baoyi, would you like to elope with me?"

Huang Wen was so embarrassed that she fainted from her cheeks, she gently broke away from his hand and said angrily: "What are you doing?" Seeing that Chen De was still paying attention to her waiting for answers, she couldn't help but hold back her shame and nodded gently. Chen De happily held her waist, turned it around in the study three times before putting it down, hugged her arms and kissed her lips boldly.

Huang Wen closed her eyes and passively endured Chen De's strong kiss with the manly aura. She was almost suffocating, and then she gradually felt that Chen De had let go of herself. The two of them were still staring at each other deeply, and their eyes were reluctant to leave for a long time.

At this moment, there was a slight sound outside, and the two of them woke up from this dreamy situation. After listening carefully, there was no other movement. Chen De comforted Huang Wen and said, "Maybe it was the sound of the cat in the palace." Huang Wen suddenly remembered something wrong, broke away from his arms and said softly, "You were secretly coming out of the Xinglin Banquet. If you left for too long, you would be discovered. I will put these documents back and go back."

Chen De thought it was the same. When the day came, he let her go and told him: "You must pay attention to everything in the palace. I will find an opportunity to see you again." After that, he hugged her gently and turned around and left. Huang Wen was alone in Liu's study. Her experience just now seemed like a dream, but she left a strong masculine aura on Chen De, telling herself that everything just now was true, and that person would take him out of the palace and go to the vast world outside.

Chen De left the palace gate, put on his mask again, and wanted to return to the garden where Xinglin Banquet was located on the road. Seeing that there were already lights in front of him, the sound of the jinshi and the civil servants vaguely heard. Chen De took off his scarf and pretended to have just left and walked up the stone path. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind: "I didn't expect that General Chen, who is famous all over the world, is actually a thief who steals fragrance and jade." Chen De turned around and saw that it was Lu Ying standing behind him coldly.

Chen De pretended to be unknown and bowed: "Mr. Lu misunderstood. I just got lost just now because Xiao Jie came back."

"Really? I thought it was the cat in the garden that was hiking around again." Lu Ying stared at Chen De's face and said.
