Li Yancheng stayed with Yan Xi all night without sleeping.
He just wanted to stay with him quietly for a while, even if this person was about to change back to his original state.
At dawn, he sent Yan Xi back to He's house. Looking at the person on the bed, he looked back every three steps. His feet felt like they were filled with lead, and every step was heavy.
The wing where Zhao Xuanlin and Pang Hao lived was very close to Yan Xi's courtyard.
The two sharp-eyed people had already discovered Li Yancheng when he entered Yanxi courtyard.
They hid in the dark and watched this scene quietly. After Li Yancheng left, Pang Hao entered Yan Xi's room and found that Yan Xi was fine. He felt relieved and called "Xi'er" several times.
Yan Xi, who was in her sleep, heard his call, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at him blankly, "Master, why do you come to see me so early? What's the matter?"
Pang Hao narrowed his eyes and said tentatively, "Xiao Jin sent a letter saying he was seriously injured in a battle with the Xiongnu."
"What? He's seriously injured?!" Yan Xi immediately lost her composure, sitting up and staring into his eyes nervously, "Where is he now? How is he now?"
Seeing this reaction, Pang Hao lowered his eyes, curled his lips slightly, and smiled in a good mood.
"Master, it's already so late, why are you still laughing?!" Yan Xi was extremely anxious and quickly got out of bed.
Pang Hao raised his hand and held his hand, saying jokingly: "He's fine, I was just kidding."
"A joke?" Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, then stared into his eyes. When she realized that he wasn't faking it, she got annoyed and said, "Master, this joke isn't funny at all!"
"Didn't you say that you didn't want to get involved in his affairs? Why are you so worried now?" Pang Hao raised his eyebrows.
Yan Xi was puzzled, "When did I ever say such a thing?"
"Yesterday afternoon, have you forgotten?"
Yan Xi paused, and the memories of the past few days flooded into his brain, playing rapidly in his mind, becoming clearer and clearer.
He was stunned.
Damn, this guy Li Yancheng actually hypnotized him.
Pang Hao frowned slightly when he saw him like this, "You didn't really forget, did you?"
"Ah?" Yan Xi pulled his thoughts back and quickly denied it, "No, no, I remember it, but... why did I say those words? I'm not possessed, am I?"
He pretended to be confused.
Pang Hao snorted coldly, "It's not like he's possessed by evil spirits. I think someone did it on purpose."
"..." Could it be that Master knows something?
Yan Xi was shocked for a moment, then began to play dumb, "Ah, really? Maybe. Anyway, Master, I have to wash up and go to court."
He put on his clothes in a hurry without giving Pang Hao a chance to speak.
Pang Hao shook his head and sighed, cursing in his heart, "What a heartless little brat."
Forget it, never mind. As long as everything returns to normal, it will save him from worrying about it.
Yan Xi went to court, but did not see Li Yancheng.
It was only on his way back from court that he heard that the south of the Yangtze River had suffered serious flooding due to the spring floods. Li Yancheng had volunteered to the emperor last night to go and manage the situation and comfort the people.
Out of his eagerness to help the people in the south of the Yangtze River with flood control, he set out early this morning.
Yan Xi doesn't think so.
It wasn't that he was eager to control the flood, it was clearly that his crime had been exposed and he didn't dare to face me, so he just left.
…
Spring went and summer came, summer went again, and the beginning of autumn arrived. The Li Dynasty and the Huns fought for more than half a year. During this half year, Lou Jinchuan made many outstanding achievements and won every battle. The Huns could not hold on any longer and were frightened of him. Not long after, they submitted a letter of peace.
When the emperor heard about this, he laughed so hard that he couldn't stop, but he planned to take the opportunity to give the Huns a warning, forcing them to sign dozens of unequal treaties.
Yan Xi knew very well the main reason behind this war. The reason why the Huns invaded the Li Dynasty was simply because the Huns were short of resources and the people had a hard time living, so they rose up in resistance.
If so many unequal treaties were added, peace would not last long and the Huns would make a comeback.
So, he mustered up the courage to advise the emperor in the court and analyze the reasons.
After listening to his suggestion, the emperor accepted it and revised the peace treaty, reducing the taxes on the Huns and the tribute they had to pay to the Li Dynasty every year.
This news quickly spread to the Xiongnu. Some Xiongnu tribes that had been oppressed too harshly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel more grateful to the emperor and Yan Xi.
The Hun king, who had been feeling suffocated, was able to breathe a sigh of relief and signed the peace treaty happily.
At the same time, the system prompted that Yan Xi's task progress had increased by another 6%.
Lou Jinchuan made several contributions and was promoted from the sixth rank to the second rank General Zhenbei. The emperor ordered him to return to the court and held a celebration banquet for him.
On the day he returned to Lin'an, the streets on both sides of the street were filled with eagerly waiting people.
They all wanted to see what kind of person this victorious general was.
Lou Jinchuan, who had an extraordinary appearance, was wearing armor and riding a horse, walking in the front.
He looked so majestic that the women watching were stunned.
When he arrived at the palace gate, the eunuch beside the emperor came to greet him on behalf of the emperor.
Lou Jinchuan looked up at the heavy palace gate, calmed down, and followed the eunuch step by step into the huge palace.
