Emperor Lin woke up three days later, but unfortunately he just woke up and couldn't even get up.

The imperial physician was right. The accumulated cold poison over the years had invaded his internal organs. His vitality over the years was at the cost of overdrawing his life. Now, there is no medicine. After he drank the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, he vomited a lot. Even though the Xiongxiong stove was burned in the palace and the people who were taking care of him were sweating profusely, he still called cold.

Preparation for national funerals has begun in the palace.

Lin Qing didn't care about his father's illness at all, and he was not in a bad mood. The secret spy from the Song State wrote again that the prince of Yong had met Emperor Song. Although he didn't know what the two said, the prince looked happy when he returned. Later, Emperor Song summoned his uncle Rong Yan and the mighty general who followed Emperor Song to the palace, which showed that he was about to take action.

Dalin's envoys were still rushing to Lincheng, the capital of Song State. According to this situation, the Song army and Yong army would join forces to face the border before they could arrive.

Dalin was panicked for a while, and Xi Xingjiang, who was performing military affairs outside, also received an order to rush back to Beijing, and then led the 30,000 troops assigned to the border, waiting for the order.

Just as the Yong Kingdom was waiting for the alliance to reply and Dalin was on high alert, Song Jinglan personally led 100,000 troops to the junction of the Huai River between the two countries of Song and Lin.

Prince Yong, who was still waiting for the Song Emperor to reply at the embassy, ​​was shocked when he heard the news.

I am still waiting here, so you go??? Then are you allies or not?

Song Jinglan personally fought, and the Song Dynasty was temporarily supervised by the uncle Rong Yan. The prince of Yong State did not wait for the officials of the Honglu Temple to communicate with him, and directly led people to the uncle's mansion to ask for explanation.

As soon as Rong Yan came out of the palace, he saw the fierce prince of Yong State as soon as he got off the carriage.

The Rong family has good genes and the whole family is beautiful. Although Rong Yan is middle-aged, he cannot hide his romantic appearance. His beautiful fox eyes look a little frivolous when he looks at people, and when he squints his eyes and smiles, he seems to have hidden countless bad thoughts.

He was not angry when he was blocked by the impolite Prince Yong. He just smiled gracefully and asked, "Third Prince, why did you get so angry?"

The prince of Yong State was so angry: "You still have the nerve to ask? What does your emperor mean?"

Rong Yan was very sincere: "You have seen it too. This is the situation. What does the third prince mean? You can understand it yourself."

Prince Yong State: "???"

Before I came, I heard that people in the Central Plains love to play puzzles and do not speak straightforwardly, especially like to beat around the bush. Now when I see you, it is indeed worthy of your reputation!

The cunning Emperor Song took his troops to fight without waiting for the alliance with him. He clearly wanted to take the initiative to annex Dalin and seize the fruits of victory they had planned for many years! The prince of Yong State dared not wait any longer. He left the uncle's mansion and left Lincheng with his accompanying people, rushed back to Yong State to compete for the opportunity.

A few days later, Song Jinglan led his troops to the south bank of the Huai River and the news of his arrival back to Dalin Jingzhong.

Everyone clearly realized at this moment that war was about to go.

During this period, Lin Qing has been discussing politics every day, and he dared not relax at all and did not even dare to sleep well.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a series of rapid footsteps outside the hall. Before the palace servant could shout, he woke up in an instant. He suddenly turned over and sat up, and asked the palace servant who was jogging in in a deep voice: "But the Song army sent troops?"

The palace maid kneeled in front of the bed, cried in a voice: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has passed away."

At the same time, seven death knells came from the palace.

Emperor Lin, who had been using medicine for so long, finally went there late at night.

Lin Qing's eyes were dizzy.

It was just this time.

Despite the early preparations, Emperor Lin's death still brought heavy gloom to the already panicked capital. Many people have packed up their bags and fled to the capital overnight. But where can they escape? Once Yong and Song Kingdom jointly attack, every piece of Dalin's land will be covered with war.

The next morning, all the officials were wearing hemp and Lin Qing ascended the throne.

The funeral of the late emperor was going on in an orderly manner, but no one had time to grieve. After all, according to the current situation, the two countries of Song and Yong will soon be fought. The most urgent task is how to mobilize national forces to resist the attacks of the two countries.

Whether Dalin's hundreds of years of foundation can be maintained by Lin Qing's hands depends on this battle.

...

To the north of the Huai River, Xi Xun, the general of the State, led 70,000 troops to camp on the banks of the Huai River, and looked at each other from a distance from the 100,000 Song troops separated by the river. The two armies confronted each other for many days, and no one was moved. The other end of the Song army was personally expeditioned by the Emperor of Song, and the morale was high, and the soldiers' shouts of training from the soldiers reached the sky every day.

On the Lin side, because the death of the first emperor, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and heard the news that the Yong State's army was preparing to go on a war, they all knew that they were about to face a battle of back and forth, and the atmosphere was quite solemn. Everyone tightened the weapons in their hands and prepared to fight to the death.

On this day, the Lin army, who were waiting for battle, suddenly saw the Song army on the other side raise a blue flag.

Here, the blue flag means negotiation.

The messenger immediately told Xi Xun, who was studying maps with his soldiers in the tent.

"Negotiation?" The middle-aged man who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years was majestic, and his voice also showed the dull and heavy feeling of training for many years: "Is the news correct?"

The messenger said: "It's indeed the blue flag!"

The soldiers around him immediately looked at each other, and the deputy general beside Xi Xun pondered: "It's now, what do they want to negotiate?"

Xi Xun pondered for a moment and immediately walked out: "You will know after talking."

When I arrived at the bank of the Huai River, I saw a boat parked in the center of the river.

A tall man in black armor stood on the board. Because he was separated by a distance, he could not see his appearance. He could only see the scarlet cloak on his shoulder being blown by the river wind, and the smiling voice passed through the banks of the Huai River: "General Xi, I have long admired my reputation. Today I am lucky to see him, and my reputation is worthy."

It was the Emperor of Song!

Through the sound of the river, his voice floated across the river and into Lin Jun’s ears on the shore. The deputy general whispered: “I heard that Emperor Song has a strong martial arts and deep internal strength, so it is true.”

Xi Xun looked at the figure on the boat in the center of the river and the dark Song army on the shore behind the boat, and raised his internal strength and said in a deep voice: "What advice does Emperor Song have? Please speak out."

Song Jinglan raised his hand and pointed it back and asked with a smile: "Does General Xi see the 100,000 army behind him?"

Xi Xun replied: "Xi is not yet dizzy yet, and he still has the power to fight!"

Song Jinglan said leisurely: "General Xi misunderstood. I am not here to fight with you by leading these 100,000 troops." He paused, and his smiley voice drifted into the ears of every soldier in Dalin on the shore: "I am here to propose marriage."

Xi Xun thought he was really dizzy and misheard.

He turned his head and looked at the soldiers around him. As expected, everyone looked confused and shocked. Only Xi Xingjiang, who was following him, suddenly widened his eyes, and a hint of disbelief appeared on his face.

There was a strange silence on both sides of the Huai River.

It took Xi Xun a long time to regain his internal strength and asked in a deep voice: "What does Emperor Song mean?"

The man on the board smiled and bowed to him from afar: "General Xi, go back and tell you your Majesty, I am the only one who is the Princess Yong'an."

The reeds on both sides of the Huai River were swept up by the wind and white reed flowers all over the sky, floating and falling all over the water.

Before Xi Xun could react, Xi Xingjiang beside him roared a swear word, drew his sword and rushed out.

Xi Xun was stunned and shouted: "Xingjiang! Stop!"

Xi Xingjiang could not listen. He was about to go to the center of the river as soon as he swept his body. Xi Xun shouted, "Stop him!"

Several secret whistles on the river bank flew forward and held Xi Xingjiang down. Seeing that he was still trying to struggle, Xi Xun strode over, snatched the sword in his hand two moves, and angrily shouted: "Nostalgic!"

Xi Xingjiang's eyes were shattered, his eyes were red, and he shouted: "I want to kill him!!!"

Xi Xun looked angry and said, "Go down to me and bet on him!"

Xi Xingjiang clenched his teeth, his eyes were so red that he almost dripped blood, but looking at his father's heavy expression, he couldn't say a word.

After solving the movement on his head, Xi Xun took a deep breath and looked at the young man on the boat again. The king of a country would not have any jokes. He shook the blue flag and demanded negotiations, and then took the boat alone. He made so many preparations. If it was just to make a joke, then Emperor Song would be too ridiculous.

Xi Xun was already wondering why the Song army did not go to fight, and now he gradually understood the intention.

He thought for a moment and ordered, "Come on the boat, I will get on the boat and talk to him in detail."

The deputy general said worriedly: "General, there may be an ambush."

Xi Xun said in a deep voice: "He is not afraid, what are I afraid of?"

Soon a soldier drove a small boat, and Xi Xun got on the boat alone. When he approached the ship in the center of the river, he flew onto the board.

It was the first time he saw the legendary Emperor Song, who was more fierce than a wolf, and he couldn't help but be as surprised as the prince of Yong State. However, he did not show anything, but still had a majestic face and asked in a deep voice: "Xi heard that Emperor Song has signed an alliance with Yong State, what does today's words mean?"

Song Jinglan smiled and waved his hand back. The guards waiting beside him put an imperial edict on his hands.

He handed the imperial edict to Xi Xun and said with a smile: "This is a covenant written by the orphan, and I wish to make a good relationship with Dalin forever. During the reign of the lonely, Song and Lin would communicate with each other and fight against foreign enemies together, and never fight."

Xi Xun's pupils slightly expanded, and he reached out to take the letter of the alliance and took a look. It was indeed written clearly and clearly on it, with the jade seal of the Song Dynasty next to it.

Xi Xun has been through the battlefield for a long time and has a lot of knowledge. He still can't help but feel shocked at this moment. He slowly rolled up the imperial edict, looked at the young emperor in front of him deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Xi will report back to His Majesty for this matter."

Song Jinglan smiled slightly: "Waiting for good news."

Xi Xun clasped his fists and turned around and flew out of the boat.

A few days later, the border military information was spread to Kyoto with the covenant.

Lin Qing was exhausted during this period and was inevitably nervous when he heard the news of the border war, worried about bad news.

Until he saw Xi Xun's letter and this covenant, all his worries turned into shock. He sat in a high position and could not speak for a long time. The guards who served him thought it was a defeated military situation. They were frightened, but they heard him slowly say: "Biography, Princess Yong'an."

Lin Feilu has been mourning for a while, and her knees were still unconscious. Suddenly, she heard Lin Qing's call and felt that something might have happened.

Is it a defeat in the war?

Was she going to escape with her soon-to-be-delivered queen?

She walked into the hall in a very complicated mood, and Lin Feilu was a little unresponsive after reading the letter and letter of alliance that Lin Qing gave her.

After a long time, she slowly raised her eyes to Lin Qing, who looked solemn, and pointed at herself suspiciously: "Princess Yong'an?"

Lin Qing nodded heavily.

Lin Feilu: “…………”
