Chapter 503
Tang Yin and Yin Rou walked out of the study to read the full text. On the way, Tang Yin said tentatively: "Your Majesty seems not willing to meet the envoys of Sichuan."
Yin Rou said: "The envoy from Sichuan is here to recruit troops."
Tang Yin blinked in confusion and asked, "What conscription?"
Yin Rou said quietly: "Not long ago, Minister Wang Yi proposed to reorganize the legions directly under the capital. However, if the troops were recruited from the capital, it would take too long to recruit and train new soldiers, and the expenses would be too high, so he advocated drawing troops from various vassal states. , In this way, it not only saves time, but also has the princes to support their own armies, without the need for the court to pay, killing two birds with one stone. However, Wang Yi's idea was opposed by the princes, and Sichuan was the prince with the strongest opposition. One of the countries, the envoy from the Sichuan Kingdom must have come to see the emperor for this reason. "
"Oh!" Tang Yin responded thoughtfully. The emperor's direct legions could not afford to support them because of the non-payment of tribute by the princely states, and their strength was getting smaller and smaller. In the end, there were basically only tens of thousands of imperial guards left. It would be a good idea to draw troops from the princely states. The vassal states sent out troops to raise troops, but the command power was in the hands of the emperor. This undoubtedly weakened the rights of the vassal states and increased the rights of the emperor. It is strange that the vassal states can agree! He frowned and said, "Why have I never heard of this in Feng Country?"
"At that time, Feng Kingdom was probably when Zhong Tian was in rebellion, and the emperor's edict must have been sent to Zhong Tian." Yin Rou said speculatively.
This is possible! Tang Yin nodded and stopped asking further questions about the matter. If he became the Wind King, he wouldn't be so stupid as to transfer his army to Shangjing and support it with his own money but let others command it.
He didn't ask any questions, and Yin Rou didn't speak either. The two of them walked forward in silence. Perhaps Yin Rou was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't pay attention to her feet. She happened to stumble on a slightly raised square brick, and Yin Rou's body fell forward involuntarily.
"Princess, be careful!" Even though Tang Yin's spiritual energy had dissipated, his movements were still astonishingly fast. His figure was like lightning, and he rushed to Yin Rou's side, reaching out to hug her.
The frightened Yin Rou took a moment to recover. Seeing herself leaning in Tang Yin's arms, her jade face turned red. At the same time, her mind naturally recalled that Tang Yin was as tight as he is now when she was in danger in Feng Country. He hugged himself tightly to resist the numerous assassins.
His embrace always brings an indescribable sense of security to me! Yin Rou thought to herself, and her pink cheeks turned redder.
Seeing such a shy and cute Yin Rou, Tang Yin had the impulse to lower his head and kiss her, but his reason still stopped the impulse. This was the palace after all, and there were so many guards around him. He couldn't do anything to insult Yin Rou's reputation. thing. He held Yin Rou's body steady, and then reluctantly retracted his arm.
"Are you leaving Beijing tomorrow?" Yin Rou asked to cover up her embarrassment.
"Yes." Tang Yin looked straight at Yin Rou. If she asked him to take her back to Feng Country now, he would definitely accept it without hesitation. No matter how many people blocked her, he didn't care.
But Yin Rou didn't say that. She just said softly and said nothing more, but a look of loneliness and sadness flashed across her face.
It doesn't matter if he pretends to be strong, which makes Tang Yin even more heartbroken. He raised his hand, wanting to embrace Yin Rou, but his hand stopped in mid-air and did not fall down after all.
"Let's go, I'll take you out of the palace." Yin Rou said calmly.
Tang Yin and Yin Rou walked out of the courtyard of the Emperor's study. Xiao Min immediately came forward to greet them. He first greeted Yin Rou and took out a spirit-gathering pill and handed it to Tang Yin. Then he looked at the two of them, feeling that they were both The atmosphere among people is a bit weird.
After swallowing the Spirit Gathering Pill casually into his stomach, Tang Yin suddenly remembered something. He reached into his arms and took out a deerskin bag with a bulging inside. He handed it to Yin Rou and said, "I have wanted to give this to Yin Rou for a long time. is you."
"What is it?" Yin Rou took the leather bag curiously, unzipped the rope on it, opened the mouth of the bag, and poured out a green gem from the ground.
This gemstone must be about half the size of a palm. It is green all over and has no minor flaws inside or outside. Holding it in your hand, it feels cold and chilly, and a cool air rushes into your body. Even in the windless midsummer, It can also make people feel the cool air, which is indescribably comfortable.
As a princess of the empire, Yin Rou has never seen any kind of treasure, but she has never seen such a strange and beautiful gem. Looking at it, she seemed to be looking into Tang Yin's eyes, and suddenly an indescribable strange feeling came into her heart. .
Seeing Yin Rou holding the green crystal and being speechless for a long time, Tang Yin became nervous rarely. He frowned secretly and asked in a low voice: "Don't you like it, princess? Then... then just throw it away." As he spoke, he He reached out and grabbed the gem in Yin Rou's hand.
He didn't catch the gem, but he caught Yin Rou's clenched fist. He looked at Yin Rou inexplicably, and to his great surprise, he saw Yin Roumei's dazzling smile. She said softly: "I like it very much. I will treasure this gem well."
"Ah!" When Tang Yin heard this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. It was rare to see Yin Rou smiling so brightly, which made Tang Yin feel cherished. He was a little stunned, looking straight at Yin Rou, with his palm He also held her hand for a long time without letting go.
Until Xiao Min couldn't stand it anymore and coughed heavily, Tang Yin came back to his senses. His old face flushed, and he quickly withdrew his hand. He used a dry laugh to cover up his embarrassment and said, "If the princess likes it, I will find a chance to get some more."
This green crystal was found in the underground cave when Tang Yin practiced the Dark Fire last time. At that time, he didn't think it was a treasure. He just picked two pieces and gave one to Fan Min. He kept the other one until now.
"Such a treasure should be very valuable." Yin Rou smiled at Tang Yin, "I'm very satisfied with just one."
So you are so easy to satisfy... Tang Yin looked at Yin Rou with pity, his heart was also tightening and sinking, maybe he didn't even realize that the closer he got to Yin Rou and the more he touched Yin Rou, the deeper he would fall. His love for Yin Rou had far exceeded his rational range.
Yin Rou treasured the emerald gem and took out a brocade bag from her waist. She wanted to hand it to Tang Yin, but changed her mind. She took a step forward, bent down, tied the brocade bag to Tang Yin's belt, and said with a smile: "This is my return gift to you."
Her action, not to mention Xiao Min was dumbfounded, even the guards on both sides were stunned, their jaws almost dropped. The princess who was so high and mighty actually tied the brocade bag to someone else personally, which was far beyond their understanding.
Tang Yin also seemed a little uneasy. He hurriedly said, "I... I'll do it myself!"
Yin Rou didn't listen to him and continued to tie the brocade bag. She whispered, "This is the amulet my father gave me when I was just born. I hope it can protect you from danger and live a long life."
Rou... Tang Yin didn't know how much willpower he had to suppress the urge to hold her in his arms. In this era, there are too many constraints, and Tang Yin still has to abide by them. Looking at Yin Rou who was so close, he could only silently recite her name in his heart, but he also swore in his heart that sooner or later, he would have her openly and have everything about her!
After leaving the palace, it was already dark. Tang Yin didn't delay on the road for long. With a restless mood, he rushed back to the inn directly.
There was no accident on the road this time. It seemed that after the failure of the dark spiritual cultivator's assassination of Tang Yin last time, he also restrained himself a lot and did not dare to continue to trouble him.
After returning to the inn, Tang Yin called Le Tian, Jiang Fan, and Jiang Lu, and told them that they would leave tonight and return to Yancheng, but Jiang Lu and the spies of Tianyan would continue to stay in Shangjing, one to manage the relationship, and the other to observe the situation in Shangjing.
In fact, in Tang Yin's mind, the situation in Yancheng was not serious enough for him to rush back overnight, but he didn't dare to stay in the capital anymore. He was afraid that he would suddenly be reluctant to leave and be reluctant to stay away from Yin Rou.
He has always been proud of his super self-control, but in front of Yin Rou, he has no confidence in his self-control.
When he came to Shangjing, Tang Yin brought Le Tian and Jiang Fan with him, and when he left, he also took Le Tian and Jiang Fan with him.
Not understanding why Tang Yin suddenly left so hastily, Le Tian and Jiang Fan didn't dare to ask more. They took the bags they had prepared long ago, followed Tang Yin out of the inn, and rode straight home.
Tang Yin rushed out of Shangjing in one breath, and then entered Anguo without stopping. Le Tian and Jiang Fan tried their best to catch up with Tang Yin. It was not until they had entered Anguo territory for more than a hundred miles and the sky was already pale that Tang Yin's horse speed gradually slowed down.
At this time, Le Tian and Jiang Fan finally caught up with Tang Yin and finally found a chance to talk. The two were panting. Le Tian swallowed his saliva and said, "Sir, let's take a break first, otherwise people can bear it, but horses can't!"
Tang Yin wiped the sweat from his face and looked down. The horse under him was so tired that its four hooves were shaking. He was afraid that if he continued to run, he would foam at the mouth and die of exhaustion. He nodded and said, "Okay, rest here for a while before leaving."
After the three got off the horse, they all felt pain in their buttocks, numbness all over their bodies, and their bones seemed to be falling apart.
Tang Yin let the horses graze, and sat on the ground, leaning back, looking at the starry sky, and said: "Le Tian, Jiang Fan!"
"Sir?"
Le Tian and Jiang Fan walked forward quickly, looking at him puzzled.
Tang Yin narrowed his eyes, as if talking to himself or to the two of them, and said: "When I become the King of Wind, I must marry her. There will be no one else as the Queen of Wind Country except her!"
