The lamp that had been burning all night went out at dawn, and Huaiyu got up to hug the two children and see them off at the door.

  Qingxuan and Baixue both wore armor, silently following behind her.

  "Did you suddenly want to go to Kyoto with him of your own accord?" asked Huaiyu as she walked.

  Nonsense, can it be voluntary? Who doesn't want to stay by the lord's side for a while longer? When the lord was sitting in confinement, Ziyang Jun sneakily used Qi Jin's mouth to prohibit them from frequent visits. Now that the confinement is finally over, he shamelessly wants to take them all to the front lines.

  Can't people live in peace anymore?!

  But His Highness is also a person who cares about the world, as a man, how can he say that he is unwilling to go home and defend his country at this time? So, even if they are angry in their hearts, the two of them smiled and replied: "Voluntarily."

  Hua Yu was delighted: "It's also time for you to show off your skills, heroes emerge in troubled times, you two can't make Flying Cloud Palace lose face."

  "Yes!" Qing Xuan and Bai Ji responded in unison.

  Jiang Xuanying was already waiting at the door.

  He wore a suit of silver armor, his black hair tied up high. He grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist and turned to look back, his handsome eyebrows moving slightly as they met the two people behind Li Huaiyu.

  Hua Yu smiled and handed him one of the two milk buns: "Look, she said she wanted to send it to her father. She didn't sleep all night, keeping her eyes open."

  The little milk buns are best at crying and making a fuss in the middle of the night, but sleeping during the day. However, Mèimèi is more sensible than her brother, after listening to Mother's nagging about sending Father out of the hospital door, her small black grape-like eyes remained wide open.

  Taking the daughter in his arms, Jiang Xuanjin's eyebrows and eyes were warm: "Don't you give them a name yet?"

  "No rush, let's call out the milk name first." Huai Yu smiled and said, "It sounds pretty good too."

  Jiang Xuan's eyebrows jumped: "Sounds good?"

  "Don't you think so?" Huai Yu lowered her head and looked at her son in the swaddle, affectionately calling out, "Little rascal."

  Jiang Xueming: "I don't know"

  The son's nickname is "mixed egg", he thinks it's not a big deal, but the daughter's nickname is "troublemaker", isn't that a bit too much? Who can do such a thing to their own child?

  "Hey, don't be disgusted!" Hua Yu glared, "Folk rules, the worse the milk name, the easier the child is to raise. Look at our little rascal and little troublemaker, from birth to now, they've never given me much trouble, right?"

  It's true. After all, she falls asleep as soon as she lies down and it's always him and the wet nurse who get woken up in the middle of the night.

  Jiang Xuanjin took a deep breath, kissed Xiao Huo Hai, and then handed her back to the wet nurse.

  "I want some too." Huai Yu stretched out her index finger and pointed at her own face.

  Everyone was fully armed and ready to depart, with many people watching. Jiang Xuanjin cleared his throat twice: "Don't be reckless."

  Hua Yu was unhappy, his mouth curled up high, but looking at the many people beside him and the heavy armor on his body, he thought for a moment and retreated one step.

  However, before she could take another step forward, the person in front of her leaned down and wrapped his arms around her neck, quickly brushing his lips against hers.

  "Let's go." Jiang Xuanjin flipped onto his horse and gave a low shout.

  The people around them all moved and tidied up their teams, walking out in an orderly manner. Qingxuan and Baixue also bowed to Huaiyu and merged into the crowd.

  A pale purple banner was blown by the wind and fluttered, the people under the banner sat on horseback with their backs straight.

  Li Huaiyu stared blankly at him, watching the familiar figure walk further and further away, gradually becoming a dot in the faint morning light.

  "Don't be sad, I'll be back soon." Xu Chuyan comforted her in a low voice.

  Hua Yu nodded: "I know, I'm not sad."

  With a complex expression, she pinched her handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face. Chuyan softly responded: "Yes, Your Highness is the strongest."

  Heartfelt pain, holding onto the jade and embracing the little scoundrel, squatting down. Looking at the hoof prints on the road in front of the door, choking back sobs.

  She's not sad, just a little scared, already got used to being with him every day. When he's not around, she might have trouble sleeping.

  Somehow, for more than twenty years before she married him, she was clearly living alone by herself, but now that she's alone again, she feels terrified.

  It'll be fine soon, she thought, I have a lot of things to do myself, and soon I won't have time to think about him.

  In the ninth year of Daxing, in early May, the Purple Yang Jun personally led 50,000 troops to confront the Western Liang, marching from the first line city to Huaidong, and receiving 30,000 scattered soldiers. At the time of formal confrontation, the strength of the Purple Yang side had reached nearly 100,000.

  "It's too shameless!" Liu Yunlie looked at the war report and scolded, "Did this guy go to recruit soldiers with his face?!"

  His subordinate trembled and reported: "Many people in the folk have joined the protection of the country, and they have all gone to serve under Ziyang Jun. They say that in today's chaotic world, only the Ziyang branch is willing to resist foreign enemies."

  Jiang Xuancheng's good reputation over the years was not ruined by a single defeat, but instead became even more deeply ingrained in people's hearts during this battle against Western Liang.

  Liu Yunlie felt a bit flustered. Although he didn't have to go onto the battlefield, as soon as he thought of Jiang Xuanjin, he felt that something wasn't quite right.

  "What about the Emperor?" he said. "Get an imperial decree to execute Jiang Xuanji, and I can get the help of the vassals from several nearby fiefs."

  The subordinate shook and replied vaguely: "Someone has been watching on the left deputy general's side, I don't know."

  As soon as he heard this, Liu Yunlie felt that something was not quite right and hurriedly went to the imperial palace to take a look.

  The quiet palace, from the outside it still looks the same as usual, but walking in can see that the palace people have fallen to the ground, and the palace where Li Huairan and Ning Guifei are locked up is already empty.

  "What's going on?!" Liu Yunlie burst out in anger.

  The deputy general on the left said in a pale face: "I was just about to go and report to Your Majesty that he has disappeared."

  "Where's he gone?!" Liu Yunlie turned around and rebuked: "Don't send someone to look for him yet?"

  "It's already been found." The left vice general bowed his head. "But Your Majesty seems to have made preparations long ago, deceiving the guards outside and making them relax their vigilance. I am truly powerless."

  Liu Yunlie was furious and almost died of anger. At this critical moment, Li Huailin ran away, so how could he explain to Xi Liang?

  Such a large palace, with guards arranged so tightly, how did this person manage to escape?!

  Li Huailin took Ning Wanyi and, under the cover of Feng Yijun, escaped all the way to Yongzhou. He knew that Liu Yunlie had ulterior motives, so as soon as he arrived in Fengyi, he issued an imperial edict, saying a lot of grandiose words, which basically meant two things:

  1. The great chaos in the world is the responsibility of Zi Yang Jun, Liu Yun Lie and others who plotted against the emperor;

  2. Calling on all princes to jointly resist the Western Liang army.

  He only had a few thousand loyal soldiers left, so he could only utter empty words. However, saying something was better than not saying anything, and everyone ignored the fact that "Ziyang Jun plotted against the emperor". They also considered Liu Yunlie to be a rebel.

  Thus, the Northern Wei ushered in the most chaotic year in history. Heroes rose up everywhere, and battles raged on continuously. Jiang Xuanjin charged into the battlefield with a fierce momentum. With careful planning and decisive actions, he forced the Western Liang army to retreat 300 miles, and then welcomed Liu Yunlie again.

  "In the past, we met each other. We both went to support the king, I saved him once, and he also saved me, so we became sworn brothers. Liu Yunlie sat in the camp, holding a wine cup and smiling, 'This time we meet again, he and I are both rebelling, if not him dying, then it's my demise.'"

  The woman stroked the zither, and the sound of the zither was somewhat sorrowful. Liu Yunlie burst out laughing, drained his cup, put on his helmet and armor, and went out the door.

  When meeting old friends in a foreign land, this time, he said he can't lose no matter what.
