Chapter 58: News
The crown prince sent a battle report to His Majesty urgently, and also brought back a package for Feng Ling. It was Hei Yi who came to deliver something to Feng Ling, and he looked tired.
Feng Ling opened the package and saw a red brocade bag with a mouth tied inside. She took out the brocade bag, opened the silk thread at the mouth, and took out a letter from it. She unfolded the letter, and wrote just a few lines on it: Ling'er, I am fine with my father and brother, don't read it. The first victory in the war will be able to teach only when His Majesty decrees. The book is inconvenient, and the face is black. Husband word.
Feng Ling accepted the letter and rushed to the black: "You sit down, drink saliva, and tell me about the battlefield again." ”
Hei and his entourage thanked him: "Thank you for the throne of the princess." He took the tea sent by Hongmei and drank it all in one go, Feng Ling motioned to Hongmei to bring tea and snacks again.
Hongmei held a kettle in one hand and a plate of plum blossom cakes in the other, and she gently placed them on the table. Hongmei said: "The palace is regularly delivered food, no more than the prince's mansion can make a fire to cook at any time, and General Heiyi eats a few pieces of dim sum to fill his stomach." ”
Under Feng Ling's nod, Hei Yicai hurriedly ate a few pieces of dim sum and drank a few cups of tea.
He rode a horse for a few days in the dark, and every time he arrived at a station, he would rest and change his horse's food, and then continue to move forward, sometimes tying himself to his horse and taking a nap. Now he was tired, sleepy and hungry, so he couldn't be polite, and only after eating did he have the energy to tell the crown princess about the war.
Feng Ling said to Hei Yi: "You pick up the important words and go back to the prince's mansion to rest, and come back to retrieve the letter when you leave." ”
Hei Yixing saluted and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked His Majesty to tell the Crown Princess that the war has been won for the time being, and once the army leaves, Jingguo and Ningguo will still violate the border, and the war will be endless." If the army goes back and forth, it will waste a lot of manpower and financial resources, and Youzhou will not be defeated and will be dragged down. The prince discussed with the prince of Zhenguo, wanting to take the opportunity to take down Jingguo and Ningguo. ”
Feng Ling nodded, she agreed with the decision of the crown prince and her father, but was worried about their safety.
Hei Yi continued to talk about the war: "The army marched for twenty days to reach Windy City, and the Jingguo army had been attacking Windy City for three days. The crown prince had already sent a message to the general of the city defender in Windy City, and the army was on the way, if the army of Jingguo attacked Windy City, he only needed to defend the city. The defenders of Windy City desperately defended the city, and the defenders also suffered more than 100 casualties.
The crown prince led his army to Windy City. Zhen Guogong led 10,000 Chang'an defenders to besiege the Jingguo army, the first battle was a great victory, the morale of the soldiers was greatly increased, the more fierce the battle, the Jingguo army was defeated and retreated, and the Jingguo army retreated to Biancheng with more than half of the casualties.
The prince ordered the army to rest in Windy City for three days, planned a battle plan, and still let Zhenguo Gong attack Biancheng with an army of 50,000. Jingguo was too late to move troops at this time, and it took a month for Ning Guo and Jingguo to go back and forth from Biancheng.
When Zhenguo Gong led the army to attack Biancheng, Jingguo's army stationed in Biancheng resisted desperately, and the army led by Zhenguo Gong could not attack the city smoothly for a few days. Hei Si Hei Wu offered a plan to Zhen Guogong, led General Jing Guo out of the city, and used the formation to hold him.
Zhenguo Gong called the battle every day, and let people scold General Jingguo for being a coward, not daring to go out to fight, so he could only be a shrunken turtle in the city, surrounding them for ten days and a half, and they naturally starved to death in the city without grass and food......
The general of Jingguo thought that Youzhou had not fought for a hundred years, and he didn't necessarily have a strong army. The defeat of the Prospect army at Windy City was due to the fatigue of the soldiers after a few days of siege fighting. Now the Youzhou army has been on a long-distance expedition and has been fighting for days and days, and it must be weak and invincible. He took all the armies and set out, wanting to take the Zhenguo Gong to defeat the Youzhou army and make military achievements.
When Zhenguo Gong saw Jingguo's army out of the city, he commanded the army to retreat while fighting, and one mile outside the city, Jingguo's army fell into the stone formation laid by the black four and black five with the black guards. Jingguo's army suffered heavy casualties, Zhenguo Gong took Jingguo's general, Jingguo's army in Bian fled, the wounded, the wounded, and the prisoners......
Biancheng has now returned to Youzhou, and the army is now resting in Biancheng, waiting for His Majesty's holy decree to decide. This time, the concubine of the British Duke was still a brave man, unlike the British Duke who stayed in the room and drank every day.
......”
Hei Yi said softly: "The deployment of the crown princess has made the army win big victories one after another, the prince and the prince of Zhenguo are overjoyed, and I deeply regret that I can't ask for credit for the princess, and I will record all the credit on the black guards......"
"It's useless for this concubine to take credit, it's good to remember Heiwei. You must protect the prince and the prince of Zhenguo. ”
"Obey the order!"
"If there is anything, you must inform the concubine. Remember!"
"Obey the order!"
"Okay, you go back to the prince's mansion to rest first. ”
Hei bowed and left. Feng Ling opened the brocade bag and took out the rubies inside, which were as clear as apricot-sized rubies. Mama Zhang said: "The slave has never seen such a bright ruby, and there are no impurities at all. ”
Hongmei said: "These gems can be set with a lot of jewelry"
Feng Ling played with the rubies, and the gems rubbed against each other to make a crisp sound. The sun shines on the rubies, emitting a red halo, like holding bright stars in your hands.
She packed the rubies, handed them to Mama Zhang, and said, "You find a box and put half of it, and send it out of the palace to the Zhenguo Mansion to your grandmother, mother, and second aunt." Tell the family that the prince and his father are all right, and they have been defeated, and they can't be a teacher for the time being, so that everyone can rest assured. ”
Mama Zhang took it. Feng Ling thought for a moment and then said, "Send Lin Feng back to the Prince's Mansion and let Manager Zhang find two people to teach him something." ”
"As ordered, the slave and maid withdrew. ”
Mama Zhang saluted and went into the house to find a box of gems, and then found the pair of cards out of the palace given by Concubine Shu, and took Lin Feng out of the palace together.
Feng Ling took Lin Feng with him when he entered the palace and let his brother see him in private. Shadow Eleven sneaked into his room in the middle of the night, told his brother a few words, and left in a hurry.
The next day, Lin Feng told Feng Ling that a man in black came into the house in the middle of the night and woke him up, telling him: "Tell the crown princess, I haven't found out the news she wants to know yet." There was a shadow guard who went to the front with the army. ”
In the past few days, Feng Ling has been thinking, who sent the shadow guard to the front line with the army, is it Your Majesty, is it the queen, or is it ...... Do they want news, or do they want surveillance?She decided to write this down and give it to Hei Yi to bring to Jing Hong so that he could be on guard.
Feng Ling heard that Xiao Zhao, the palace maid of the concubine, asked the eunuch to ask for a meeting outside, she asked Hongmei to pack up the pen and paper, walked out of the room by herself, and stood in the main hall to wait.
The eunuch Xiao Shuzi walked into the communication, and Feng Ling motioned for him to let Xiao Zhao in. Xiao Zhao walked in with a basket containing large peaches. Hongmei stepped forward to take the basket and put it on the table. Xiao Zhao saluted Feng Ling and said with a smile: "Say hello to the crown princess." ”
Feng Ling sat at the table, pointed to the peach and said, "The concubine asked you to send it?"
Xiao Zhao replied: "Back to the crown princess, it was the mother who sent it, this is the peach that was just sent into the palace by Yangzhou Express Horse, a total of two baskets, and His Majesty gave it all to Zhaoyang Palace." Niangniang instructed the slave maid to send some to the crown princess and the concubine, saying that you can try it. ”
Feng Ling smiled: "Niangniang has a heart, thank you Niangniang for this concubine." How is my mother feeling lately?"
Xiao Zhao stood beside her and said softly: "Niangniang has been tired recently, and the doctor said that it was caused by what Niangniang ate. Last night, the guards took away a few little eunuchs in Zhaoyang Palace, saying that they were going to be tried one by one. ”
Feng Ling nodded: "This concubine will go to see Niangniang tomorrow." You go back and greet the mother on behalf of the concubine. ”
Xiao Zhao responded, saluted and retreated.
Feng Ling picked up a peach, and she thought of Princess Peach of Ning Kingdom, she thought of this war caused by this woman's selfishness, and she took a bite of the peach with hatred, as if biting on the princess's face.
