Tang Li waited for a long time, but there was no response from the room.
He knocked on the door again. "Sister-in-law, I know you're here. Don't be angry with my brother. Let me ask you something. It's very important. "
He waited for a while more. Han Yunxi did not open the door, but she answered him, "It's already so late. If there's anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."
"What if I have to ask now? Sister-in-law, can you open the door? "Tang Li asked.
If Han Yunxi had stepped out, she would definitely have noticed Tang Li's strange behavior. His expression was a little dazed, as if he had lost his soul.
Han Yunxi was silent for a long time, but she still did not open the door. She said calmly, "Go ahead."
Tang Li suddenly became serious and asked, "Sister-in-law, is the end of spring and the beginning of summer the best time for the expedition to the north?"
The person in the room seemed very surprised and did not answer for a long time.
"Sister-in-law, is that right?" Tang Li stubbornly wanted an answer.
The room was still silent.
Tang Li did not ask again. He stood quietly and waited. The person in the room naturally knew that he was waiting.
"Tang Li, did the Baili Army's people look for you?" Han Yunxi asked seriously.
Once she said this, what else did Tang Li have to ask?
Sister-in-law also knew that the Baili Army had objected to the expedition at the beginning of spring. Otherwise, she would not have asked him this.
Actually, Tang Li already knew the answer. He did not know why he was so persistent in asking, as if he was looking for a reason to convince himself.
He leaned his head against the door and did not answer for a long time.
"Tang Li, your brother and Myriad Merchant Hall have discussed the expedition at the beginning of spring. Don't listen to the Baili Army's people." Han Yunxi was anxious.
Tang Li still did not speak. Han Yunxi stood inside the room and waited.
Just as she was about to open the door, Tang Li spoke again, "Sister-in-law, I understand. I'm here tonight to ask you for a favor. "
"What's the matter? Why are you being so polite?" Han Yunxi asked cautiously.
"Sister-in-law, please persuade my brother to postpone the northern expedition until the end of spring and the beginning of summer. That's the best time. Let my brother accompany you to Tianshan Mountain. When you come back, we'll go and save them. "
Tang Li seemed to be answering Han Yunxi, but also seemed to be talking to himself. He muttered, "I've thought about it. Ning Jing's belly is big, so it's inconvenient for her to move around. If we rashly go to save her, she'll definitely get in the way. It'll be even more inappropriate if the fetus is affected. Why don't … why don't we just wait for the child to be born before we go and save her? "
Han Yunxi abruptly cut him off. "Tang Li, have you lost your mind? Once the child was born, how could Jun Yi Xie lock the child and the mother in the same place? The child would definitely be taken away! Do you want your child to be a hostage at birth? Can you guarantee that Bai Yuqiao can help us find out the child's whereabouts? Can you guarantee that we'll be able to find the child at the same time? Tang Li, Jun Yi Xie isn't that stupid! "
Although Han Yunxi couldn't bear it, she still said, "Tang Li, you have to know that everything can be discussed before the war. Once the war starts, the two armies won't give up any opportunity to flatten Northern Li just because of a child!"
In other words, it was very likely that the child would be abandoned.
Tang Li didn't say anything. The two of them were separated by a door. The silence between them was enough to quiet the entire night.
Finally, Han Yunxi said, "Tang Li, this matter has been decided. Don't make trouble for yourself! Your brother is at the Baili Army. No one will dare to do anything to you. Don't worry! "
"Sister-in-law, I can't let my brother take risks and make mistakes because of my own selfishness!"
In the quiet night, Han Yunxi could clearly hear that Tang Li's voice was choked with sobs. He said, "Sister-in-law, I know my brother isn't here. Please don't let him know about this. Help me persuade him. "
"Since I was young, my brother has always doted on me. No matter how big the problem was, he would help me shoulder it. But this time … I have to shoulder it myself." Tang Li's voice grew choked with sobs. "Ever since he was young … until now, no one has been able to help him shoulder his problems. He's always shouldered them himself. From today onwards, I, Tang Li, can't let my own matters …"
Before he could finish speaking, the door suddenly opened. Han Yunxi wasn't the only one standing by the door. Long Fei Ye was also there.
Tang Li was shocked and instinctively stepped back. He didn't expect his brother to be in the room too.
His brother and sister-in-law quarreled, and sister-in-law didn't return to the bedroom. He thought that they were still at odds and weren't together.
Long Fei Ye walked out expressionlessly and stopped in front of Tang Li.
Tang Li was embarrassed and nervous. He didn't explain anything and was about to leave. However, Long Fei Ye stopped him. "Stop!"
Tang Li was actually very obedient to Long Fei Ye's words. He almost reflexively stopped, but it was only for a moment. Soon, he hurried towards the door.
Long Fei Ye's figure flashed and blocked his way.
Tang Li resentfully turned his head away and didn't dare to look at him.
"Are you sure?" Long Fei Ye asked.
"Yes!" Tang Li answered without hesitation.
"Look at me and answer me!" Long Fei Ye said sternly.
Tang Li kept looking to the side and didn't dare to turn his head.
"Go back to sleep!" Long Fei Ye ordered.
Who would have thought that Tang Li would turn around and look at him with a serious expression. "Brother, I'm sure. I've thought about it all day. I'm sure! "
Long Fei Ye clenched his fists so tightly that they cracked. He wasn't angry at Tang Li, but rather at the person who instigated Tang Li.
This was his most cherished disciple, his younger brother whom he had protected for over twenty years. Among his relatives in the East Qin camp, he was the one who had the least ambition, the most carefree, the purest, and the one who lived the most carefree life.
Who was it that had told him so many important things?
Who was it that had instigated him to sacrifice himself for the sake of the country rather than save his wife and children?
Who was it that had placed such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders?
Could it be that he, Long Fei Ye, hadn't endured enough in his life? Was Tang Li also here to bear it?
"Has Baili Yuanlong arrived?" Long Fei Ye asked.
On the way back, he had ordered Baili Yuanlong to personally come over and discuss the alliance with the Di Clan military. Baili Yuanlong and the other deputy generals should have arrived in the next few days.
"Brother, I'm sure. This is my own matter. I have the right to make my own decision!" Tang Li said loudly.
"What do you know?" Long Fei Ye said coldly.
Today, he had been infuriated by Han Yunxi. Now, he was even more infuriated by Tang Li.
Tang Li looked into Long Fei Ye's eyes and choked with sobs. "I understand you! Brother, I understand. I understand everything! "
Long Fei Ye was stunned, but he immediately avoided Tang Li's gaze.
For over twenty years, this younger brother of his had never looked at him or spoken to him so seriously. Only then did Long Fei Ye realize how resolute Tang Li was.
As soon as Long Fei Ye averted his gaze, Tang Li took the opportunity to avoid him and escape through the door.
"Brother, General Baili is already outside the city. I'll go pick them up!" With that, he hurriedly left.
Only then did Long Fei Ye realize that it wasn't Baili Yuanlong who had instigated Tang Li. If it wasn't someone from the Baili Clan, who else would have told Tang Li that "late spring and early summer" was the best time to go to war?
Long Fei Ye quickly thought of someone. He immediately walked out the door. Seeing this, Han Yunxi hurriedly chased after him.
Long Fei Ye quickly arrived at Gu Beiyue's courtyard and knocked on the door without any trace of politeness. Han Yunxi stood in the distance, watching with a complicated expression.
"Your Highness, I'm here." Gu Beiyue's voice came from behind him.
Actually, he had been waiting for Long Fei Ye at the tea table in the courtyard. He had said so much to Tang Li, so it would be strange if Long Fei Ye didn't come to settle the score with him.
Long Fei Ye looked at him coldly. "What do you mean?"
Gu Beiyue had already stood up and walked over. Faced with Long Fei Ye's rage, he was neither servile nor overbearing. He only said one sentence, and it made Long Fei Ye fall silent.
He said, "Your Highness, Tang Li isn't the only one by your side, and Tang Li isn't the only one with a wife and children. The northern expedition at the beginning of spring is bound to increase casualties. Moreover, the power of the Phoenix is not only the Princess's problem, but also yours. If the dual cultivation fails, you'll be in greater danger. Your Highness, you should know that you're the same as Ning Cheng. Once you fall, whether it's the Baili Army, the Commander-In-Chief's Office, or the Tang Sect, none of them will be willing to cooperate with Western Qin. When that time comes, no one can reverse the consequences. "
Gu Beiyue was very calm. "Your Highness is a wise person. You should know that this northern expedition is of great importance. No one can afford to lose! If you're not fully prepared, it's better to wait than to rush. "
Long Fei Ye smiled bitterly. "Gu Beiyue, you're crueler than this crown prince."
"Your Highness, this isn't cruelty. This is a choice," Gu Beiyue said calmly. "There's only right and wrong in making a choice. There's no such thing as mercy or cruelty."
Long Fei Ye was cruel to Tang Li. However, once the northern expedition was changed, many soldiers would feel that Long Fei Ye was merciful. Most of the soldiers in the Commander-In-Chief's Office, the Baili Army, and even the Ning Family Army had never been to Northern Li. They hadn't experienced the coldest beginning of spring in Northern Li! In this kind of situation, it was normal to freeze to death or die of typhoid or disease.
There was no absolute standard for cruelty and mercy, but there was right and wrong!
"Your Highness, the difficulty of the Emperor's path lies in making a choice." Gu Beiyue took a step back and bowed respectfully. He said seriously, "This one hopes that you'll be careful about what's right and wrong!"
The anger in Long Fei Ye's eyes had already been extinguished. He looked at Gu Beiyue and couldn't help but laugh. He laughed until he shook his head.
Han Yunxi listened to Gu Beiyue's words and her heart was filled with emotion.
Who said that the one who obtained the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion would obtain the world? Only the one who obtained Gu Beiyue would obtain the world.
He was a true doctor. He treated illnesses, people, the heart, and even the world!
He possessed the rare calmness of a doctor and the rare ability to make a choice.
Tonight, he had treated Long Fei Ye.
"Your Highness, it's getting late. Please go back! This one is alone. The choice is up to you. " Gu Beiyue said seriously.
Long Fei Ye didn't say anything. He stood there for a moment before leaving. When he reached the door, he saw Han Yunxi waiting for him.
Han Yunxi didn't say anything. She could understand what Gu Beiyue meant by the way of the Emperor, but she admitted that she couldn't make a choice.
She couldn't bear to part with Tang Li, and she was even more reluctant to part with Ning Jing, the Ning Jing who had been waiting to see the father of her child.
Long Fei Ye said lightly, "Ask Bai Yuqiao if he has a plan to protect us."
"Okay!" Han Yunxi nodded immediately.
She couldn't guess what choice Long Fei Ye would make, but at least he wanted to ask Bai Yuqiao's opinion. This meant that he hadn't given up on Tang Li and Ning Jing.
What answer would Bai Yuqiao give them?
