As soon as General Lan stepped into the Lan Mansion, Mrs. Lan, who was waiting, hurriedly ordered the maid to prepare hot water and clean clothes.

Lan Yingwu waved his hand a little impatiently and ordered the maid to call Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai'er over.

"In the northwest, there was an animal rebellion, and the imperial court decided to send troops to support, and the candidates to go to the northwest to quell the animal rebellion have been decided. Lan Yingwu's tone was filled with a bit of resentment.

"Father, is it because Emperor Xia is going to send you to the northwest to quell the rebellion?" Lan Cai'er heard this, her face full of anticipation.

After Lan Yingwu returned from the transfer of Licheng, he had not yet gone on an expedition, and he, a general of soldiers and horses, had no military power in his hands, but he had no place to use it.

"The people of the Western Expedition have been decided, and Hong Fang will be the main general. Lan Yingwu smiled self-deprecatingly.

This news surprised both Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai'er.

"Father, the Northwest Beast Rebellion is such a big thing, why does the imperial court not send you, a veteran, to go, but send Hong Fang? Although Hong Fang has a good cultivation, he is a civilian official, and he has never been on the battlefield, so let him go to the battlefield, isn't that like talking on paper?" Lan Caier was upset for her father.

In the court of Great Xia, the civil and military divisions and military generals, for many years, Lan Yingwu and Nangong Sword competed.

Among them, Nangong Jian is the leader of the noble military generals, and Lan Yingwu is the representative of the commoners.

After Nangong Jian's death, Lan Yingwu was already the leader of the military generals second only to Wuhou in the court, but this time, he was unexpectedly selected as the general candidate of the Northwest Expeditionary Force.

"Cai'er, your analysis is good, but there is something wrong, this counterinsurgency refers to the beast rebellion, not the ordinary killing of the enemy. Although Hong Fang is a civil official, his martial arts cultivation is still above me, the northwest beasts are chaotic, and legend has it that there are **-level peak spirit beasts, and there are even demon beasts. In Hong Fang's early years, he traveled all over the country, stayed in the northwest for several years, and had enough experience in killing spirit beasts. So it makes sense that he was chosen this time. Lan Yingwu's words were actually only half of what he said.

Lan Cai'er didn't seem to understand it, but Ye Lingyue on the side had already guessed seven or eight points.

This time, the crown prince was deposed, and Hong Fang was also dismissed by the angry Xia emperor, which inadvertently touched the interests of the Great Xia nobles behind the prince.

Although Emperor Xia was angry at what the prince did, in the final analysis, Emperor Xia was also a nobleman, and he was an emperor, and he knew the importance of balance.

So on the one hand, he relieved himself of his post and made the commoners rejoice, and on the other hand, he had to appease the aristocratic faction so that they would not be overly dissatisfied.

If nothing else, Hong Fang's expedition to the northwest, as long as he has made great contributions, after making meritorious contributions, Hong Fang will be reinstated.

This also means that Ye Lingyue's past efforts are likely to be in vain.

"Hong Fang became the general of the Western Expedition, but it is well deserved, do you know, who is the deputy general of the Western Expeditionary Army this time?" Lan Yingwu snorted, obviously, the candidate for this deputy general made Lan Yingwu even more dissatisfied.

Nangong Jian is dead, and the only people in the DPRK who can act as Hong Fang's deputy general are the younger generation of generals...... It's just that Lan Cai'er and Ye Lingyue thought about it, but they couldn't guess a suitable candidate for the deputy general.

"Xiahou Hong, I don't know what method Hong Fang, Luo Guifei and others used, they actually relieved the saint and let Xiahou Hong go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions. Lan Yingwu said, and looked at Ye Lingyue worriedly.

Ye Lingyue's eyes changed, and the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, it seemed that she still underestimated Hong Fang and Xiahou Hong.

Emperor Xia let Prince Hong out, and let him serve as the deputy general of the Western Expeditionary Army, not long after the holy decree was issued, Xiahou Hong was released from the prison.

"Hong'er, my poor Hong'er. ”

It's just been a few days, and Xiahou Hong's appearance has changed so much that Luo Guifei and Hong Fang are surprised.

Prince Hong was skinny and skinny, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, his legs were limping, and his body exuded a smell like a rotting corpse, who could associate him with the high-spirited Prince Hong a few days ago.

After taking Xiahou Hong back to the dormitory, Luo Guifei hurriedly ordered Qiu Fangshi to heal Xiahou Hong's injuries, and this inspection found that Xiahou Hong only had half a life left, and he was as weak as a three-year-old child.

Luo Guifei hugged Xiahou Hong and cried so much that her liver and intestines were broken.

"Who doesn't know whether to live or die, and dares to torture Hong'er!" Luo Guifei was angry and angry.

"Who else could there be, Ye Lingyue's slut. She has been tormenting me every day for the past few days. I will cut off the woman's flesh piece by piece. "Thanks to Ye Lingyue, Xiahou Hong finished ripping off the position of his heart, and it has not been good.

I don't know what method Ye Lingyue used, Xia Houhong didn't have any wounds on his body, but he felt pain all over his body, as if there were ants gnawing in the blood and bones all over his body.

"The fourth prince, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. When you inherit the great unification in the future, let alone a small Ye Lingyue, even if it is ten, it is still at your disposal. Hong Fang's words made Xiahou Hong stunned.

"Lord Hong, I have become like this now, it is very difficult to keep the throne of the prince, let alone inherit the throne. Xiahou Hong said with annoyance.

"Fourth prince, do you know why you were able to come out this time? It is because Concubine Luo Guifei united with the four nobles and marquis, and knelt outside the Jinluan Hall for six hours in exchange for this opportunity. Emperor Xia has ordered you to go to the northwest with me to quell the beast rebellion. At this time, you have to recover from your injuries as soon as possible. Since he learned that Xiahou Hong had a special hobby and almost harmed his son, Hong Fang lost his earlier closeness to Xiahou Hong.

Now in Hong Fang's eyes, Xiahou Hong is just a chess piece that can be used.

If he is obedient, he can continue to enjoy his glory and wealth, and if he is disobedient, Hong Fang will never mind, and directly destroy this chess piece on the battlefield in the northwest.

"What! My father is going to send me to the Northwest Battlefield, isn't this letting me go to death!"

The Northwest Battlefield is the most dangerous battlefield in Great Xia, and it is also the place where the border guards are heavily stationed.

It's just because, in other places, the Xia army fights all people, but only in the northwest of Great Xia, the soldiers have to fight with the sky and the beasts.

Xiahou Hong had long heard that one of the most ferocious troops in Great Xia, the Tiger Wolf Army, was stationed there.

I heard that there was a scarcity of food and grass, and the soldiers had to rely on hunting animals for food, and there were even rumors of cannibalism in winter.

There are many beasts there, in addition to the spirit beasts that are difficult to deal with, there are even demon beasts that can transform into humans.

Compared with the Northwest Battlefield, the Heavenly Prison is simply a paradise on earth.

As soon as the pampered Xiahou Hong heard that he was going to the northwest battlefield, he was so frightened that the three souls were gone, and he scolded Hong Fang in his heart.
