At the second watch, there was a lamp like a bean in the inner tent of the Luoyan Army. Lin Jue sat under the lamp, holding a book in his hand and reading quietly. Bai Bing, with his long hair disheveled and a small flowered jacket wrapped around his body, was leaning on the bedside, holding in his hand

Holding needle and thread, Zizi was embroidering a pattern stitch by stitch on a piece of white cloth. There was silence in the tent, the sound of books turning, the jade bracelet on Bai Bing's wrist and the slight tinkling sound of the thimble, and the sound of the jade bracelet on Bai Bing's wrist clinking slightly with the thimble, and in the camp at the foot of the mountain outside the tent.

The sound of horses honking and the sound of trees on the long hill swaying in the night wind can be heard clearly, adding to the silence of the night.

Bai Bing's slender fingers gently pulled the colored thread through the Baijuan cloth, completing the last stitch of the stamens clustered in the middle of a blooming flower, then deftly tied a knot and bit off the colored thread.

He sighed, raised the silk cloth, admired it against the light, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Why is Bing'er obsessed with female celebrities recently? What's going on?" At some point, Lin Jue had put down the book and was looking at Bai Bingxiao with a smile.

Bai Bing said softly: "It's nothing, I just want to learn. I don't know anything about these, so naturally I have to learn. As a woman, even a female celebrity can't do it, so what does that mean?"

Lin Jue smiled and said: "What do you think? Are these things related?"

Bai Bing shook his head and said: "Of course my husband doesn't dislike it, it's just that I want to learn it. When I was a child in Mobei, except for things like martial arts, hunting, chopping wood, and boiling water, I didn't learn anything that ordinary daughters should learn.

I just want to experience what ordinary daughters should do. That day, Sister Luwu embroidered a scarf for her husband to take out for the expedition, Sister Caiwei embroidered a cloak for her husband, and Sister Huanqiu embroidered a brocade handkerchief for her husband.

, I discovered that I was the only one in my family who didn’t know how to do it. So I decided to learn this.”

Lin Jue laughed and said: "After all, it's just for comparison, right? You don't have to imitate female celebrities, they can't if you know how. You see, when the army goes out, you follow me to protect me, this is what they want

If you can’t do it, why bother comparing yourself with others? Everyone has strengths that others cannot reach.”

Bai Bing thought for a while and said: "What your husband said makes sense, but the war will always be over. When the days are calm, why are we still fighting and killing? By then, won't I know nothing? I won't be able to do anything.

I don’t want to fight and kill all day long. I think that if I have a few children for my husband in the future, I would rather throw away my weapons, forget my martial arts, and just concentrate on serving my husband and raising children. This is the life I want most.”

Lin Jue smiled and nodded: "So that's what you think in your heart, then it's up to you. As long as you are happy, you can do whatever you want. By the way, how have you learned the craftsmanship of this female celebrity? I saw you with me before the expedition.

Lu Wu is asking for needlework, silk fabric patterns, etc. Lu Wu is a master at this, and famous teachers produce great apprentices. I believe you are also good at embroidery. Let me see how it goes."

Lin Jue stood up and walked over. Bai Bing hurriedly hid the embroidered bandage in his arms and kept saying: "Don't look, don't look, it's hard to get into your husband's eyes."

Lin Jue smiled and stretched out his hand to snatch it, saying, "What's there to hide? An ugly daughter-in-law still has to meet her parents-in-law. It's not you who has the final say whether it's good or not. I'll know after seeing it. I'll decide whether it's good or bad after I see it."

Bai Bing blushed and kept it in her arms, refusing to take it out. Lin Jue sat on the bedside and hugged her body. He put one hand into her arms, saying he wanted to grab something, but he kneaded her plump chest. Bai Bing

Bing's body went limp in Lin Jue's arms, but in the end she could no longer resist the invasion of her husband's strange hands. Lin Jue also took the embroidered stretcher away. Lin Jue leaned closer to the light and took a closer look, but it was a graceful spring begonia flower. Although it was not completely completed.

, but it was completely beyond Lin Jue’s imagination.

"Bing'er, you are so ingenious. I thought you were really bad at embroidering, but I didn't expect that the embroidery was so delicate and beautiful. Look at the petals, stamens, and leaves, they are so lifelike. Sure enough, they are indeed my Lin.

A woman from Jue is smart and dexterous. She can learn everything in one go and become good at it in a short while. Not bad." Lin Jue praised.

Bai Bing blushed and said, "Husband, there is no need to comfort me. I am far behind Sister Lu Wu and others."

Lin Jue turned to look at Bai Bing's pretty face and said softly: "In my opinion, they are all equally good. I want something. I'm short of a sweat towel, which is just right."

Bai Bing said happily: "Then when I finish the embroidery, I will twist the edges, and then embroider my name and give it to my husband. If my husband likes it, I will feel at ease."

Lin Jue's heart skipped a beat when he saw her bun was fluffy and disheveled, and her face was red. When she leaned down and was about to do something, she suddenly heard the clatter of footsteps outside the tent. Then came Sun Dayong's thick and suppressed voice.

.

"Sir, are you asleep? I have something important to report."

Lin Jue stood up quickly and said in a deep voice: "Is it Brother Sun? What's the important matter? Is it the Jurchens' military situation?"

Sun Dayong's voice came in a low voice: "It's not news from the Jurchens, it's... it's... the young prince... he..."

Lin Jue said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Sun Dayong said: "Yes, I just got the news that the young prince...just killed Guo Xu with a knife."

"Ah?" Bai Bing cried out in surprise. Lin Jue was calm as if he didn't hear anything.

"When I got the news and went to check, the young prince had already cut off Guo Xu's head. He said that he went to visit Guo Xu with good intentions, but Guo Xu tried to take his weapon to kill him. He killed Guo Xu out of desperation.

I asked him to come and explain to your Excellency, but he said that he didn’t need to explain, and just told me to tell you the whole story. I am humble enough to report it to you,” Sun Dayong continued.

Lin Jue's face showed no signs of movement. He pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Is this what it is? Then I know. You go ahead. Contain Guo Xu's body. The relevant people will all agree on Guo Xu's body."

Xu was killed because he tried to escape."

Sun Dayong nodded in agreement and asked reluctantly: "Are you going to invite the young prince to the big tent?"

Lin Jue said: "No need. Let's all rest early. There may be a big battle tomorrow, so conserve your energy.

"

Sun Dayong promised in a deep voice, said goodbye and left.

After Sun Dayong's footsteps faded away, Lin Jue slowly sat down and picked up the book. Bai Bing was stunned. She jumped out of bed, came to Lin Jue and asked: "Husband, what's the matter?"

What's going on? How could the young prince kill Guo Xu directly? Wouldn't it be more advantageous to keep this person alive? How could he kill Guo Xu without consulting you? How can you be so calm, husband?

"

Lin Jue turned to look at Bai Bing and said with a smile: "Bing'er, don't freeze yourself and go to bed. You'd better leave these things alone."

Bai Bing said angrily: "I don't, I want to know what happened? I have heard a lot of discussions recently about the matter between you and the young prince. Some people say that you and the young prince will have differences in the future, or that they are cunning.

The rabbit is dead and the lackey is cooking, and he also said that the master with great achievements must have troubles. I am worried to death. Not only me, but also the princess is worried to death. Now the young prince has committed suicide in private, Guo Xu, is this really going to follow

Are you falling out?"

Lin Jue frowned and said: "Where did you hear these words? Who dares to chew such tongues? Is it Sun Dayong and the others?"

Bai Bing waved his hand and said: "No, no, it was said by the old people in the village of Luoyan Valley. I like to wander in the village and overheard what they said while chatting. Those are just common people in the mountains, you can

Don't blame them."

Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "Everywhere there are people who are full and have nothing to do, and a group of people who are poor and worried. How can there be such things as they say? I have a good relationship with the young prince."

"Then why did he kill Guo Xu privately? Why don't you seem angry at all?" Bai Bing said.

Lin Jue sighed, pulled Bai Bing to the edge of the bed, hugged Bai Bing and stuffed him into the bed, then took off his clothes and went to bed. He held Bai Bing in his arms and whispered: "Bing'er, since you want to know,

I will tell you the whole story, but just listen and don’t talk too much.”

Bai Bing nodded in Lin Jue's arms and said softly: "Bing'er will never talk too much."

Lin Jue pondered for a moment and said softly: "If you ask me why I am so calm, it is because I know that the young prince will kill Guo Xu. This is expected. What is there to be surprised about? Guo Xu deserves to die, although he

He is the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, but in front of us he is just a prisoner. There is nothing special. Even if Guo Xu doesn't kill him, I will kill him with my own hands tomorrow, and I will not let him survive tomorrow.

"

Bai Bing stared with his big eyes full of confusion and said blankly: "But in the evening, you told the young prince that keeping Guo Xu's life was of great significance and had many benefits. Are those all lies?"

Lin Jue stroked Bai Bing's long hair and said softly: "Of course it's not a lie. It will be of great benefit to us to coerce the emperor to control the princes. It will make many people turn from opposing us to supporting us. This is extremely beneficial to major events. I

Everything I told the young prince is true."

"Then why did the young prince kill Guo Xu? Was he worried about his own position? Was he afraid that Guo Xu would hinder his position?" Bai Bing asked.

Lin Jue smiled, sighed and said: "That's just a superficial view. Even if I keep Guo Xu, I'm just using his identity. How can it affect the status of the young prince? If I, the Luoyan Army, take over the world,

The throne naturally belongs to the young prince, and he knows this better than anyone else. How could he be so small-minded that he would be afraid that Guo Xu would block his way to become emperor? That is absolutely impossible. You are too

You underestimated the young prince."

Bai Bing frowned and said, "I don't quite understand these things."

Lin Jue nodded and said: "No wonder you think so. This kind of thing is very sensitive, and random speculation is inevitable. Do you know that the relationship between me and the young prince is indeed extremely sensitive. Those rumors you heard before

It's not groundless. Ever since the prince and his son arrived at Luoyan Valley, there has been a gap in their hearts. The Luoyan Army only listens to my orders. They must feel very awkward in their hearts. I am also worried that there will eventually be a conflict between me and the young prince.

The situation of a cunning rabbit dying and being cooked by lackeys. After all, the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty belongs to the Guo family, and even if I win the world for him, I will inevitably be suspected of having a high profile and shocking the master. No emperor wants his ministers to be more prestigious than himself.

He is high and has great power. If this problem is not handled well, it will be a disaster. Although we can deliberately avoid this, we cannot ignore its existence, can we?"

Bai Bing frowned and said nothing, her slender fingers tightly grasping the silk clothes on Lin Jue's chest. Her husband's quick admission of this made her even more nervous. She couldn't imagine that one day there would be a relationship between her husband and the young prince.

A situation of dissatisfaction will occur, which will be extremely terrible.

"Since the death of Prince Liang, the young prince has become much more profound. As far as I know, Prince Liang said a lot to the young prince before his death, but no one knows about it. After the death of the prince, the young prince said to me

My attitude has become much more humble, and the humility... makes me a little uncomfortable. Maybe I am over-minded, but I always feel that some things seem inevitable even if I don't want them to happen. I feel...

The prince must have said something before he died, which caused so many changes in the young prince. You know, sometimes the best state between people is not to be respectful and respectful, just like the relationship between you and me.

, if I stay away from you every day, and if you treat me the same way every day, what a terrible situation it will be. The best situation is to say what you have to say, and respect and love each other. Maybe take the relationship between husband and wife

It is not appropriate to describe the relationship between me and the young prince, but it gives me the feeling that the young prince’s humility is deliberate and is an uncomfortable state. Including the fact that he mentioned many times that he would work with me in the future.

The world's words like this always make people feel that he is wary of me and is testing me and paralyzing me with these words." Lin Jue said softly.

Bai Bing frowned and nodded: "What you said makes sense. We shouldn't be so divided in the first place.

Yes, when the young prince came to our house, he always went straight into the inner hall without any hesitation and behaved informally. Later, he suddenly became less polite and fewer people came. When we met, he was neither polite nor polite. I also felt that

strange."

Lin Jue sighed: "Yes, a person's psychological changes will be reflected in his attitude and actions, and others will feel it."

Bai Bing said: "But I still don't understand, what does this have to do with killing Guo Xu or not?"

Lin Jue said softly: "Guo Xu is my enemy. He is responsible for the death of my husband, the death of the Emperor and Concubine Rong. Regardless of public outrage, I will kill him just because of my personal hatred. I have already promised Huanqiu."

and Lu Wu, to avenge their dead relatives. Everyone in Funiu Mountain should understand this. But now, because of Guo Xu’s special status and the current situation, it seems that it is more useful to keep him, so
