Chapter 124: Parting Ways
"Brother Xuanqing, what are you talking about, I have always regarded you as friends. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shen Lanying frowned and hurriedly explained. But in fact, she was very shaky inside. If Xuanqing parted ways with them on this, it would affect the plan to seize the heir. But if they stay, the safety of the siblings will be a big concern in the future.
Wang Yichen once said that he leaked his mouth once, and Shen Lanying knew that there was a link against Xuanling Xuanqing in Sikong Yan's plan. The sixth sense told her that these two people must have an unclear relationship with the imperial court.
Xuanqing ignored Shen Lanying, snorted coldly, and walked away, just as he walked to the door, the door was suddenly pushed open from outside the house.
"Brother?"
Xuan Ling came back at this time, and at first glance, she saw her brother with a blue face and burning eyes, and said in surprise, "Brother, why is your face so ugly? Who provoked you?"
At this time, Xuan Ling's breath was a little short, and her cheeks were flushed, feeling like she had just run a 10,000-meter run.
Xuanqing glanced at her sweaty sister, and didn't care what she had just done. Turning his head to Dongfang, he said, "Thank you for telling me the truth, Xiaoling, let's go." ”
"Huh?" Xuan Ling looked at her brother in surprise, "Where are you going?"
Xuan Qing glared at her, "You already know Shen Lanying's true identity, right?" ”
"......Ahh
Xuanqing didn't listen to her explanation, snorted coldly again, turned around and left. However, what was unexpected was that Li Yunxuan chased him out.
The room was silent for a few seconds.
"I'm sorry, I just went out for something, what's going on here?" asked Xuan Ling with a forced expression, she was still immersed in the joy of getting to know Dugu Xiaomo one second, and the next second she inexplicably learned that Shen Lanying's identity was exposed.
Sikong Yan said helplessly, "Two things happened. First, your brother knows that Shen Lanying is Princess Zhaoying, and he seems to be a little disgusted with us and decides to move out of this inn. Second, Miss Li is likely to become your future sister-in-law, I congratulate you in advance. As he spoke, Sikong Yan made a gesture of arching his hands.
Xuan Ling said with a smile, "When is it, Brother Sikong, you still have the heart to laugh." Forget it, I'd better hurry up and find my brother, or who knows what strange things he's going to do. Anyway, our destination is the same, even if we don't live in an inn, we will often run into it, so I'll go first. With that, she waved her hand at the rest of the room and flashed out of the room.
Shen Lanying looked at the direction Xuan Ling left and frowned slightly. Xuan Ling's reaction made Shen Lanying a little puzzled, the contrast between the attitudes of the two brothers and sisters towards their small force group was too great, and looking at Xuan Ling's appearance, it seemed that she had something to do with Sikong Yan.
No, although Xuan Ling knew that it was not simple at a glance, at most it had some connection with the imperial court, so it didn't have anything to do with the battle for the throne, right?
When Shen Lanying was puzzled by Xuan Ling's identity, Dongfang Li finally figured out the chaotic relationship in front of him, knew that he had ruined Princess Zhaoying, and walked quickly to Shen Lanying and leaned down to worship.
"Wechen is guilty and forgot the ...... His Highness explained"
Shen Lanying quickly grabbed him. What are you kidding, this is a military boss, she can't even stammer, where dare he kneel.
"General Dongfang, what are you doing, my identity will be known to them sooner or later, how can I blame you, sit down, Xueli, quickly pour tea for the general." ”
Shen Lanying had a gentle smile on her face and was very affable. Xue Li brought the teapot, and Shen Lanying personally poured him tea, making Dongfang Li look flattered.
"I heard Brother Yan say that General Dongfang only brought 20,000 horses, and even took down more than ten cities of the Xiongnu, defeating ten times the strength of his own troops. It's really impressive. ”
Dongfang Li hurriedly said, "Where is it, it's just that I found an opportunity and took it by surprise, otherwise with the ability of Linghai Guard, it will be difficult for us to get benefits." ”
After that, Dongfang Li was led by Shen Lanying and talked about the war. As for whether he will inadvertently expose some military secrets, it depends on Sikong Yan.
Regarding the military aspect, Sikong Yan and Wang Yichen are both good at clichés, and they can even say a few words from time to time when they are shuang, which makes Shen Lanying have to look at this coachman on weekdays differently.
Shen Lanying is not very good at clichés, so she doesn't interject much, and the others chatted for a while, and the topic went around and returned to Luo Xingyan.
Shen Lanying suddenly realized a serious problem, "So, you and the two brothers and sisters of the Luo family have left Yanping Pass?
"Yes. Dongfang Li nodded, "This highness can rest assured that a junior cousin under the command of Luo Haifeng is temporarily in charge of the northern garrison. ”
"Uh...... That's who, how old is this year?"
"I'm fifteen years old. Dongfang Li's expression was extremely sincere.
What's the difference between that and not having a general!
"Eh, forgive Zhaoying for being too talkative, has the Eastern General ever thought that if the Hun army takes advantage of this time to attack us in the south, it is very likely that my Yong Dynasty will not be able to resist it. ”
Dongfang shook his head disapprovingly and said, "No, Your Highness just rest assured." The monarch of Linghai has decided to let the princess marry to the Yong Dynasty and the relatives, and before we left Yansha Pass, the team of the relatives has already entered the territory of the Yong Dynasty. Commander Luo Haifeng personally inspected it. It is estimated that in another month, the team will arrive in the capital. If it had not been for the sincerity of the Xiongnu's request for peace, we would not have withdrawn our troops from the border. ”
"What! You have withdrawn your troops!" it was Wang Yichen who spoke, his face was so calm that he could drip water, "How many people have been evacuated?"
Dongfang Li was taken aback by his solemn look, and replied in a proper manner, "Counting the disabled and the old, half of the men and horses were withdrawn, and the remaining soldiers were stationed at each pass. ”
"Half?" Wang Yichen stood up from his seat excitedly, "Who ordered this?
"It's Luo Haifeng's leader, but the specific plan is drawn up by Luo Xingyan, and she has always advocated holding on, rather than taking the initiative to attack. She has always been very careful in defending the city, and it is only fitting that she can handle it. Although you can rest assured, although there is only half of the army left, they are all carefully selected elite soldiers, even against the Xiongnu in their heyday, there is no possibility of losing the city. Dongfang Li's tone and expression were very confident, which also made Wang Yichen and Shen Lanying breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that they are worried too much.
