Episode 52 (2)

"Since you don't want Lu to teach Xiao Hai, why do you still let Xiao Hai follow him?" Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Xiaohai has just turned into a human form, just like a newborn child, so it is naturally the most suitable for the steady Changming to teach him. Zi Mo asked Xiao Hai to learn from Chang Ming, how could he let him follow Lu Ye? Of course, Lu Ye is also very capable, but he has some living habits that are not suitable for teaching children. He was also confused by Yu Zimo's strange arrangement?

"These two guys are annoying, and having them together will reduce the amount of time they spend annoying me so we can have more time to ourselves. …… Isn't it good?" Yu Zimo's eyes moved slightly, looking at Qingran.

Qingran's rugged face flushed slightly, and he said in his heart, "Okay." ”

Ahead they were to the palace, although they had already seen their mother last night, after all, secretly, and now they were officially on their way, the wheels crushing against the smooth and square stone pavement, making a low sound. The surrounding palace walls are tall and solemn, and inside and outside this palace wall, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are secretly watching them.

"We left a little late last night, and now that we're going, I don't know if my mother is resting well. Qing Ran coughed and said in a stiff voice.

"As long as we go, my mother will stay awake all night, and she will be very energetic. ”

Qingran smiled.

After getting out of the car, Qingran and Yu Zimo were side by side, and they were about to walk towards their mother Wang's residence, when they saw a guard not far away rushing towards them.

"The prince and princess stayed. The guard shouted. He soon arrived close to Qingran and Yu Zimo, and said eagerly, "The king asks the prince and princess to go see him immediately." ”

"King?" Qingran couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart. He looked at the palace gate where his mother's house was nearby. "Got it, we went over when we saw my mother. Then he took Yu Zimo's hand.

"Prince. The guard hurriedly stepped forward, stopped Qingran, and said profusely, "Please ask the prince and princess to go over immediately, and the border is in a hurry." ”

"Don't rush at this time. Qingran saw that her mother had come out of it.

The guard's face turned red in a hurry, "Prince, the eldest prince Xiao Bogong is gone." ”

Qing Ran was shocked, stopped his figure, turned his head and asked the guard, "What's the matter?"

"The eldest prince is missing, there is no commander on the border, the enemy has begun a major attack, the king asks you to hurry over. ”

The change in the military situation was like lightning, and he looked at Yu Zimo beside him, and then at his mother Wang. Wang heard the guard's words clearly, and waved his hand towards Qingran, "State affairs are important, child, you go quickly, I will wait here for you to come back." ”

"But ......" Qingran hesitated, looking at his mother deeply, he understood what his mother meant, his heart turned around, and in the end, he could only turn around and go with Yu Zimo to meet the king of Shang with the guards.

……

The guards took Qingran and Yu Zimo in the direction of the heavy bluestone brick road.

This is the road to the main hall.

Qingran couldn't help but look at Yu Zimo. If it is not an important state matter, the king of Shang will not summon his courtiers in the main hall.

The road to the main hall is not long, but the clear heart is as heavy and resolute as the stone slab under his feet.

In front of the tall temple gate, the guards stopped. Qingran and Yu Zimo walked into the hall side by side.

The king of Shang wore a grand royal robe and sat on the king's chair in the middle of the main hall, with a majestic expression. The courtiers stood below, lined up. From the moment Qingran and Yu Zimo entered the main hall, their eyes were locked on the two of them. The entire hall was filled with a tense and critical atmosphere.

"The king is looking for me. "Qingran stood still, neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm.

The Shang King didn't care about Qingran's attitude and wording. A pair of unfathomable eyes stared at Qingran. He waved his hand downwards slightly. A waiter walked up to Qingran with a slender wooden box.

Another wooden box? Qingran didn't open the wooden box. His eyes were still firmly fixed on King Shang. At this moment, the distance between father and son seems closer and more distant.

"I just got the news that the eldest prince Xiao Bogong is missing. The army lost its commander and fell into chaos. Now the enemy has broken through the border and is attacking in the direction of our capital. The king of Shang finally spoke, "I want you to lead 100,000 soldiers to defend against the enemy army and find Xiao Bogong." ”

The hall was silent again. After King Shang finished speaking, everyone was waiting for Qing Ran's reaction.

"I'm just a mere philistine. Qing Ran's answer was still stubborn, but his eyes were staring at the Shang King.

"You are also a citizen of the Shang Kingdom. The words of the king of Shang are also cold, this is dangerous, and the businessman knows it, but he still does not have the rhetoric of his father sending his parents to the battlefield in his expression, and he does not have the breath of relatives.

After throwing Qing Ran a cold and unrefutable answer, King Shang turned his head to look at Yu Zimo. "Zi Mo, I know that you Xin people are known for their bravery. Whether you want to stay in Shangdu or go with him is up to you. Only when talking to Yu Zimo, the tone of the Shang King was gentle.

Yu Zimo smiled slightly, as if he was not affected by the murderous atmosphere in the palace, and said lightly: "Since I am his princess, I naturally want to be with him." "It's like that's the natural thing to do.

"Good. The Shang King nodded, "The army is ready, you can set off immediately." ”

Yu Zimo bowed slightly to the Shang King, and then whispered to Xiao Qingran beside him, "Let's go." ”

Xiao Qingran didn't speak, resolutely turned around, and walked out of the hall with Yu Zimo.

……

Leaving the palace, Qingran and Yu Zimo first returned to their palace and saw that everyone in the palace had been dressed up in the courtyard.

"Chang Mingβ€”" Qingran glanced at the courtyard and frowned.

Chang Ming stepped forward, "Prince, princess, as soon as you left in the morning, the king sent someone to inform him that the prince was going to lead the troops to the battle, and the military situation was urgent, so he had to set off immediately." Prepare the soldiers accompanying the house. ”

His will was swift. Qingran said coldly.

His gaze swept over the sergeant in front of him again, and he couldn't help but hesitate, "The battlefield is dangerous, you don't have to go with me, you can stay in the palace, and someone will naturally take care of it." ”

Qing Ran's gaze rested on the face of one of the guards behind Lu Ye. Although the guard was dressed in military uniform, he still couldn't hide his weak body. After Lin Xiang's eyes healed, although Princess Yu Zimo allowed him to leave freely, in fact, he still lived in the palace. This time, Qingran and Yu Zimo returned to the capital, and he also followed.

Lin Xiang slowly stepped forward and saluted, "The prince is heroic, but he is not familiar with the battlefield. Lin Xiang knew that he was single, so he stayed in the army for a while, hoping to do his best for the prince and princess. ”

"But. Qingran looked at Lin Xiang's pale face. After leaving Dongjun, Lin Xiang's originally somewhat improved body was as sick as when he first saw him. "Traveling with the army is no better than ordinary travel, your health is not good, so don't go. I took my heart. "Besides, Lin Xiang was cast from Xiao Bogong, and now, although Xiao Bogong is missing, his men are still in the army, and it is inevitable that someone will recognize him and find him trouble.

"The prince can rest assured, Lin Xiang's body can support it. Lin Xiang's eyes were clear and firm, "I have been in the army with the eldest prince for many years, and I can adapt to the environment in the army." When I was in the army, I was blind and mostly in my tent, and no one saw me except the eldest prince and the men who took care of me. Lin Xiang seemed to see Qingran's worries.

"But?" Qingran wanted to say something.

Lu on the side also stopped him from talking. "Let him go. Although we have the courage to go to war, after all, no one has actually fought with the army. In terms of experience, I am afraid that none of us can compare with this blind sick man. ……”

"He'll send us experienced sergeants who are familiar with the battlefield. "In Qingran's mouth, he is the king of Shang.

"Those sergeants are all Xiao Bogong's subordinates, can you trust them, they still can't trust you, will they be honest with you?" Lu also showed a sneer.

Although Lu Ye's words were harsh, they hit the nail on the head. Over the years, although the king of Shang has been training his own soldiers. Most of the Shang State's forces were still in the hands of Xiao Bogong. Xiao Bogong was brave and good at fighting, and won the support of the soldiers. Most of the people who went to the battlefield with him were most familiar with the battlefield situation.

Now that Xiao Bogong is missing, the army's morale is unstable, and the king of Shang has sent Xiao Qingran, who is opposed to Xiao Bogong, to be their commander, and it is inevitable that they will be suspicious. When the time comes, don't talk about dispatching, it's not bad if you don't go against the yang.

"Oh well. Qingran nodded, "Lu Ye, you take care of him more on the way." ”

Lu also smiled slyly.

"This is sent by the king. Chang Ming held a pair of Xuanjin armor in his hand.

Qing Ran did not hesitate and put the armor on his body.

……

On the teaching field, the army was already waiting in line.

When Qing Ran arrived in Xuanjin armor, the hearts of the soldiers who saw him couldn't help but shake a little. Although the governance of Dongjun has won Qingran some reputation. But his humble background and attitude towards his actions were still criticized in the Shang country, especially in the army. Many of the soldiers complained and were dissatisfied with the Shang king's letting a hunter lead them on the expedition. The king's command is hard to disobey. Fortunately, there is also a princess of Xinguo, and they have long heard that the princess of Xinguo is not only beautiful, but also excellent in martial arts, and quite proficient in the way of using soldiers. Hearing that the princess of Xin Guo would send troops with the prince, the sergeants did not make a group of moves. Just think that prince is an ornament.

Now look at the prince Xiao Qingran in a military uniform, tall and heroic, with an awe-inspiring expression, not angry but mighty. His princess, Princess Xinguo, followed closely in a plain robe, and a solemn feeling rose in her heart for a while.

Four people dressed in deputy general's clothes came to Xiao Qingran and Yu Zimo to salute as they approached. Li Kang, Wang Duo, Zhang Jianlin, and Chen Shi were ordered by the king to go on the expedition with the prince.

They were the generals chosen for him by the king of Shang, and just by looking at their appearances, they were all battle-hardened people.

Among them, Li Kang picked up the long and narrow wooden box from the saddle, saying that the king sent someone to send it to Prince Qingran.

Qingran saw that it was the one that the king of Shang had just given him in the main hall and he hadn't taken away. I don't know what important things are in it, so he sent it again and again. Qingran took the wooden box, opened it, and saw that it contained only an old arrow, and the arrow had been stained with rust.

What did he do with a used arrow? Qingran looked back and let Yu Zimo beside him look at it. Yu Zimo also seemed to be a little confused.

"This is the arrow that the king used to go out on a requisition. Li Dang saw the confusion of the prince and the princess, and said.

It is rumored that when the king of Shang was still a prince, he had always been greedy for pleasure, uninhibited, and had never participated in the country's military and political affairs, and the successor of the king of Shang had not personally conquered. It seems that the relationship between the deputy general in front of him and the king of Shang is by no means ordinary.

Qing Ran and Yu Zimo exchanged a look. This is not the time to ask the other party why. Qingran put away the wooden box, and then said two words to the four lieutenants: "Go." ”
