A war is about to break out.

In Fenghua City, both the martial arts people and the common people all took out armors and spears from their homes.

Jin Zixi looked at a family of young people walking out of the house wearing military uniforms, and was dumbfounded: "That old man is so old, and he still wants to go to the battlefield?"

Jiang Liyun smiled and waved his hand: "You misunderstood. It is us who are going to the war, and these people have to stay and defend their homeland... These actions are all their own initiative, and you can't stop them at all. If you reason with them, they will

He will also tell you a lot of truths, if you don’t believe me, just ask.”

Jin Zixi nodded: "Actually, I don't need to ask. I know that when I was a child, my mother took me to travel around the world. Once I passed through Wushuang country. At that time, Wushuang was in civil strife. Women wanted to rebel against the masters. If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have thought of it.

Some women went to the battlefield. But I remember that they didn’t even have decent weapons, but they still went to the battlefield to kill the enemy and fight with the men.

Kill... Didn't you see the scene at that time? In order to be the masters of the family, they first stayed humble and were willing to be singers and dancers. They sneaked into all kinds of despicable and dirty places to find out information, and finally counterattacked with one sentence! I also asked them

Why do you do this? What do you think they said? They said that any resistance is just a pile of bones. Without sacrifice, how can there be success?"

Speaking of this, Jin Zixi smiled: "Actually, what the people want is to live and work in peace and contentment. They don't want war. But one day, when someone grabs their throats, when someone threatens their lives with a knife,

Life, they will still rise up and resist."

"This girl is right, it's time for us to rise up and resist!" An old man happened to hear Jin Zixi's words and couldn't help but echoed, "The Emperor of Nanxiang was cruel and unkind. During the civil war, many of us were captured and sent to the army.

! How much money did you steal from us to use as military pay? But since we chased

After joining the Young Master, the Young Master did not ask us to join the army, nor did he ask us to pay. He even provided people to help us plant crops and teach us how to grow crops! I thought that the food was harvested to make military rations, but I didn’t expect that the Young Master only wanted 10% of our income.

It turns out that we turned over only 50% of the food to the court!"

"Yes, the young master is so kind to us, why don't we support him as emperor?!"

"This time, we must be the masters of the matter!"

The crowd is buzzing and the enthusiasm is high!

Jin Zixi could completely feel their enthusiasm, and her mood gradually became excited: "Don't worry, everyone, we will never lose this battle!"

In the evening of the same day, Jiang Shaoqing sent someone to hold peace talks. Jin Zixi secretly found it funny why Jiang Shaoqing always liked to beat around the bush when doing things, and this time he actually showed courtesy before fighting.

When Jiang Liyun got the peace treaty, he also had a sneer on his face: "If you don't go, there will be a war. No matter we win or lose, we will be the first to provoke the dispute. If we go, it is clear that it is the Hongmen Banquet, and my eldest brother is getting better and better.

"

"It's better to let me go." Jiang Qitian said this leisurely in the lobby, "As an envoy, it's okay if nothing happens. If anything happens... it's his fault."

This is the best way he can think of now. Even though Jiang Liyun has a hundred worries, he has to do it.

"I'll go too!" Jin Zixi clapped her hands, "I also want to see what tricks Jiang Shaoqing will come up with!"

"Okay, okay, I know all the tricks of a man like Big Brother. He will be very happy if you go. Besides, it's not a dragon's den or a tiger's den. Miss Jin, you can't risk your life to accompany a gentleman."

After listening to Jiang Qitian's words, Jin Zixi couldn't help but smile: "Third brother, I have known you for so long, and this is the first time I have discovered that you are so good at joking. Can you be called a gentleman?"

Jiang Qitian was not angry after hearing this, but frowned slightly, raised his sleeves and stood up: "If Miss Jin does not intend to be my fourth brother's queen, there is no need to call me third brother."

After saying that, Jiang Qitian left first, probably to prepare for tomorrow's peace talks.

Jin Zixi looked at Jiang Liyun suspiciously, and saw that he also had a sad look on his face. Jin Zixi thought that he was still worried about tomorrow's peace talks, so she smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. If we can't reach an agreement, we'll be fine."

Let's have a fight, sometimes force may be the best solution."

The dark black eyes slowly raised, staring intently at that pretty face: "You really don't want to be my queen? We are already married."

"You know, I don't like being stuck in the same place."

"I will not restrict any of your actions."

"Then don't say you want me to be your queen."

The atmosphere became tense in vain at some point. In the end, Jiang Liyun had no choice but to shake his head and sigh: "I won't force you, just rest early."

For some reason, Jin Zixi found that everyone's eyes looked strange when they mentioned this matter. The Marquis was like this, Jiang Qitian was like this, and Jiang Liyun was like this. Did she have to enter the palace and become the queen?

Back then, Jun Kuang and Bai Ruyan also had the opportunity to secure a stable position in the country, but they lived a carefree life. In the end, their son conquered the world and earned the titles of Supreme Emperor and Empress Dowager for nothing. But now, where are these two people living happily?

If people knew it, why would she go to the palace and suffer?

Although she had made up her mind, Jin Zixi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night. She could always think of the way Jiang Liyun looked at her in the evening. It was dark and quiet like a piece of stagnant water. It made people's hearts tremble for no reason when they recalled it.

Somewhat upset.

After getting up in undressed clothes, Jin Zixi had no choice but to go for a walk in the yard. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a flute slowly coming from a distance, accompanied by a clear voice singing "Xiang Mouse".

"A rat has skin, but a human has no manners! If a human has no manners, what's the use of immortality?

Rats have teeth, but humans have no rest! People have no rest, so why wait until they die?

Rats have a body, but humans are rude, and humans are rude! Why don't you die?"

This is a Wei Feng song that satirizes the despicable and shameless rulers. When Jin Zixi heard the person singing the song, Jiang Qitian, and the flute played melodiously in the background, Jin Zixi guessed that it was Jiang Liyun who played it.

When she heard the sound and approached, she saw common people and martial arts people sitting around Jiang Liyun and Jiang Qitian, singing "Bustard Feather".

"Suppress the bustard feathers, gather in Baoxu. The king's affairs are too busy, and he can't do the millet. Who are the parents? The sky is long, and what is it?

The bustard's wings are gathered together on the thorns. The king's affairs are too busy, and he cannot feed the millet and millet. Where can the parents eat? The sky is long, and what is the limit?

The bustards are busy gathering in the buds of mulberry trees, and the king's affairs are too busy to weed the rice beams. What about parents? The sky is long, and it is always there."

When singing in sorrow, there is even a bit of gnashing of teeth and hatred.

Compared with the affectionate song Jin Zixi sang in the Hou Mansion that day, this song against corvee was more resonant with everyone.

Soon, Jin Zixi also sang along. Her voice was clear, distant, and very delicate. It attracted everyone's attention as soon as she came in.

In the gentle evening breeze, her gorgeous purple dress danced with the wind, and the red lanterns made of famous paper reflected her fair cheeks, making her bright eyes even more attractive.

Everyone gradually stopped singing. Although many people had seen Jin Zixi today, they did not know her identity.

"Come."

Jiang Liyun put down the jade flute in his hand, smiled and stretched out his hand to Jin Zixi.

After Jin Zixi approached, Jiang Liyun introduced to everyone: "This is my wife, Jin Zixi, the master of Chaoyang Palace."

Just the three words "Chaoyang Palace" are enough to shock everyone.

Firstly, very few people in the world know that the palace owner of Chaoyang Palace is a woman, and secondly, only a handful of them know Jin Zixi. Most of the people who have seen her true appearance are some well-known seniors in the world.

Almost all of these seniors have disappeared from the world, and their identities and whereabouts are even more elusive than Jin Zixi's.

Seeing her extraordinary demeanor, everyone expected that she was not an ordinary person. When they heard that she was the master of Chaoyang Palace and Jiang Liyun's wife, they were so surprised that they were speechless. They were stunned for a long time before some people from the world left.

He came out and saluted Jin Zixi: "It turns out to be Palace Master Jin. I'm disrespectful and disrespectful."

"Hey, since she is the young master's wife, wouldn't it be too foreign to call her Palace Master Jin?"

"You don't know that my younger brother and sister-in-law are very ambitious. They don't want to follow my fourth brother in his great achievements and become queen in the future. Until now, I only dare to call her Miss Jin. I don't dare to call her younger brother or younger sister anymore for fear of

When she got upset, she put a knife on my neck!"

Jiang Qitian finished speaking with a smile, and there was a bit of complaint in his tone. Jiang Liyun originally thought that he would not say this in public, but he did not expect that Jiang Qitian did it anyway, which made him feel embarrassed for a moment.

"As the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions. I have my own reasons for not wanting to be a queen. When you say that, it's more like putting a knife on my neck and forcing me to be the queen." Jin Zixi was not angry, but was slightly picky.

He raised his eyebrows and seemed a little proud.

"Hey, you're not my wife. It's none of my business whether you want to be the queen or not. It's just that my fourth brother has a good temper, so he asked you if you want to be the queen. If it were me, you just don't want to be the queen anymore.

I will tie you directly to the palace!"

Although the two were joking, they also revealed the fact that Jin Zixi found that Jiang Liyun's face looked ugly all night, and his mood became increasingly uncomfortable.

Isn’t it just a queen’s position? Why do everyone care about it so much?

Jin Zixi returned to the wing dejectedly. Not long after, Jiang Liyun followed her back. The two stood in the corridor speechless, and Jin Zixi didn't know what to say. In the end, it was Jiang Liyun Qian.

He smiled and spoke first: "Don't worry, the third brother didn't say that just to target you, he just wanted to remind me, don't take it to heart."

"I don't mean anything else. I just don't like to stay in one place all the time. There are still many things in this world that I need to do. And I also think that with my personality, I may not be suitable to be a queen. You should choose a queen."

It is better for women who are born into ladies."

"Ajin, this matter is not that simple. You are my first wife. If you are not willing to enter the palace as my queen, I would rather leave the queen position vacant than welcome another woman to become my queen."

He spoke lightly, and the fiery red lanterns in the corridor illuminated his dark eyes with an unclear expression.

Jin Zixi opened her mouth and was about to say something when Jiang Liyun left with a smile: "Go to rest early. If you really want to go to peace talks with Third Brother tomorrow, remember not to take it lightly."

"Wait!" For the first time, Jin Zixi caught up with him and grabbed his sleeve, "I can't sleep, can you stay with me tonight?"

Jiang Liyun took a slow breath. During the past few months of living alone in Fenghua City, he hoped that Jin Zixi could be by his side every day. But now when she said these words, he couldn't believe it.

, he lowered his eyes and saw her slender jade fingers holding his wrist, slowly showing a smile.

"good."

Early the next morning, Jiang Liyun ordered someone to help Jin Zixi freshen up. Jin Zixi didn't know why everyone's expressions suddenly became so strange, and Jiang Liyun also smiled lightly and remained silent.

Before leaving, Jiang Liyun helped Jin Zixi organize her clothes and said, "Although I know that with your ability, you will definitely not encounter any danger during this trip, Jiang Shaoqing is an old fox, and there is no guarantee that he will play tricks again this time."

What a trick, but it’s better to be careful.”

"I know."
