Chapter Seventy-Three: False Cavalry

Just when Qing Fenglan's face was full of shock, a slender figure appeared outside the main hall.

I saw that the person who came was dressed in red and white armor, which perfectly reflected his figure, and he saluted over Qingfeng Lan and Ding Junru.

"Daughter Shen Qin visits her father"

After saluting, Shen Qin turned around and looked at the many ministers in the main hall, his eyes were sharp, not at all like a fourteen-year-old girl.

Zifeng saw Shen Qin come in, and hurriedly stood up, and saw that Shen Qin and his party had finished saluting, and walked to Shen Qinyi's side in three steps and two steps, protecting this little sister firmly behind him.

Qingfeng Lan glanced at Zifeng, when she first saw this girl, she was so timid, but now she is willing to stand in front of Fourteen, facing this third prince of Suju Country with 50,000 cavalry, should she sigh that she has grown up, or should she lament that she has opened up?

As soon as Shen Qin walked to Zifeng's side, he affectionately grabbed Zifeng's arm and leaned on Zifeng's body.

Shen Qin looked Qing Fenglan up and down: "This is the person you told me hundreds of times? ”

Zifeng instantly blushed and gently stabbed Shen Qinyi beside her.

Shen Qin stood on tiptoe and looked carefully at Zifeng, whose face was flushed: "Don't be shy, it's not like you want to marry him, and you don't allow us to discuss it?"

Qingfeng coughed lightly twice in embarrassment.

Shen Qin took two steps forward after ridiculing Zifeng, standing in front of Ding Junru, a pair of bright eyes staring closely at the person in front of him who claimed to marry him.

Qingfeng Lan moved forward half a step slightly, if Ding Junru had any abnormal moves, he would have to make a timely move.

Ding Junru looked down at Shen Qinyi: "Fourteenth princess, now that Your Majesty has not agreed to the marriage between you and me, is it not appropriate to stand so close now?"

Shen Qin grinned at the corner of his mouth, turned around and said, "Do you know why I like military so much?"

Ding Junru shook his head.

Shen Qinyi didn't wait for Ding Junru's answer, and continued: "Because I don't believe that there is peace in this world, and the only condition for peaceful existence is that my fist is bigger than everyone else's. ”

After speaking, Shen Qinyi turned his head suddenly, and looked at Ding Junru with fierce eyes: "And now, your fist is bigger than mine, and I have no chance to choose in front of you." ”

Ding Junru looked at Shen Qin very elegantly and smiled.

Shen Qin gritted his teeth and looked at Ding Junru in front of him: "Don't think you won." ”

Ding Junru said with a smile: "This time I came to marry the fourteenth princess, this is a win-win thing, and no one loses." ”

Shen Qin smiled and asked, "Oh, win-win, how can you say it? Marry me, and the cavalry will enter the imperial capital? Is this a win-win?"

Ding Junru still had an elegant smile: "I said, these 50,000 cavalry were used by my father to protect me, if I can leave the imperial capital safely today, these 50,000 cavalry will also go back with me, isn't this a win-win situation? ”

When Zi Feng heard this, his face was full of anger and he wanted to rush over to hit Ding Junru.

But as soon as he took two steps, he was stopped by Shen Qinyi.

Shen Qinyi calmed Zifeng and then turned around and continued: "Third Prince Ding, I don't know if your country knows the customs of the empire? A woman can only marry after sixteen. ”

Ding Junru: "I know about this matter, the main reason for coming here this time is to invite the fourteenth princess to return to China with me to cultivate a relationship, and two years later, I will come to the imperial capital to propose marriage again." ”

Shen Qinyi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Turned around and looked at the person inside the tulle: "Father, my daughter agrees to this marriage, and I ask my father for permission." ”

I don't know that Qingfeng Lan and the others didn't expect such an ending, and even Ding Junru, who has always been in the grip of victory, didn't expect Shen Qin to be so happy.

Zifeng hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Shen Qinyi and asked, "Changping, isn't it 50,000 cavalry? It's not so easy to capture the imperial capital, don't you promise him." ”

Shen Qinyi looked at Zifeng in front of him with some sadness: "Sister, you don't understand, the current empire is not unavailable, but no one obeys orders, if I don't leave, what will happen to the people in the imperial capital?"

Zifeng was stunned for a moment, raised her head and looked at Qingfeng Lan on the side, only to see Qingfeng Lan silently lowered her head.

Zifeng looked at Shen Qinyi in front of her again, and suddenly felt like she had been stabbed by something.

Zifeng looked back at the man in the tulle, the man who had said that he would always protect the country, wasn't it time to need him now?

Shen Teng slowly stood up, this was the first time he stood up on his own in nearly ten years.

Lan Yun on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help, but was gently shaken away by Shen Teng.

Gently lifting the tulle in front of him, Shen Teng walked out slowly.

This was the first time Qing Fenglan had seen His Majesty the Emperor, this old man was full of white hair, haggard face, and rickety, but now he stood up straight, and his eyes were full of anger.

Shen Teng walked out of the tulle and stood still, and said slowly: "Within two years, if you let me know that there is any mistake in the Fourteenth, the Imperial Iron Cavalry will set foot in the Suju Country!"

Qingfeng Lan looked at the old man and remembered that her sister once said that this person is a person who attaches great importance to feelings, and he once ran thousands of miles by himself, just to save the person who gave him a pot of water.

Now that his daughter is forced to marry in another country, you can imagine how sad this old man must be.

After finishing speaking, Shen Teng took a slow breath: "Accurate!"

Hearing this last accurate word, Qingfeng Lan almost fell to his knees, the power contained in it should not be underestimated, how strong should this old man be when he was young?

Looking back, the current Ding Junru no longer has the elegant style he used to have, sweating profusely and kneeling on the ground in disheveled clothes, as if he had seen purgatory.

After Zifeng heard Enzhun, she lowered her head and slowly stood up and said, "Qingfeng, are you willing to help me?"

It's not loud, it's not small, but it's heard by all.

Qingfeng Lan nodded: "I do." ”

Zifeng raised his head, stared at Ding Junru who was kneeling on the ground with red eyes, the tears in his eyes kept flowing, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The surname Ding, you remember, within two years, if you dare to move half of Qin, I will set foot in the country of Xuju." ”

Trembling and looking at Shen Qinyi beside him: "Wait for me, in two years, I'll pick you up!"

After finishing speaking, he fainted directly, Qingfeng Lan hurriedly stepped forward to hug Zifeng, and after putting his fingers on his wrist for a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's nothing, it's okay to be angry, just rest for a few days." I'll take her back to rest now. ”

Qingfeng picked up Zifeng and walked outside the hall.

When he walked to Ding Junru's side, he stopped: "Since you know about me, you should also know who I am." ”

After speaking, he left the hall with Zifeng in his arms.

Ding Junru stood up slowly, gasped for breath, glanced at Shen Teng in front of him, and then at the many ministers behind him, and laughed: "Hahahaha, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, but in the big camel, if you die, you are dead." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Walked to the door of the main hall and turned around to look at Shen Qinyi: "Let's go, my army is still waiting for you outside the city." ”

Shen Qin gritted his teeth and glanced back at the old man in front of him, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, then stood up, and walked out without looking back.

Shen Teng watched Shen Qin leave, a mouthful of blood spurted out, it was originally difficult to stand, but now he fell down directly, and Lan Yun hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

Shen Teng gasped: "Let Wu Shuo send Fourteen out of the country!!"

Wu Shuo, who had just rushed forward, heard this, turned around and ran out, his fat body now seemed much more flexible.

Seeing Wu Shuo running out, Shen Teng slowly closed his eyes, and tears slowly fell from the corners of his eyes.

When Zifeng woke up again, it was already seven days after Shen Qinyi left the imperial capital.

Zifeng opened her eyes and saw the breeze in front of her, and the tears in the corners of her eyes flowed again.

Qingfeng gently helped her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Don't cry, you have been in a coma for the past few days, and you have been crying, if you continue like this, you will be blind, so how can you save the fourteenth princess." ”

Zifeng forcibly held back her tears, but she still kept flowing.

Qingfeng sighed: "There are a total of fifteen cities on the border of the Suju country from the imperial capital, and this time if you can quietly let fifty thousand cavalry appear near the imperial capital, then there must be someone among them who is assisting, and the person who assists them is positioned with high authority, so that they can hide tens of millions of people from fifteen cities." ”

Zifeng closed her eyes and said slowly, "It should be the Northern Prince." ”

Qingfeng Lan smiled: "Although I don't know why you said that it was the North King, but this time I checked, the North King was not involved in this matter." ”

Zifeng opened her eyes and looked at Qingfeng in confusion.

Qingfenglan: "You have been in a coma for seven days, I have not been idle for these seven days, I checked all the routes from the border of Suju Kingdom to the imperial capital, and found a very interesting route." ”

Zifeng struggled to sit up, but was gently pressed back to the bed by Qingfenglan.

Qingfeng Lan picked up a map from the side and unfolded it, pointed to the location of the imperial capital above and said: " This is the imperial capital, the cavalry appears in the east of the imperial capital, but the cavalry does not necessarily have to pass through the east, if you go from the northeast, although it will go around a big circle, but it can easily avoid nearly ten cities, and there is a natural danger in the northeast, there is a small road between the two large mountain ranges, the path can only pass one person at a time, but there is a pass there, guarded by a thousand people, if someone buys the guards there in advance, let the 50,000 cavalry set off two months in advance, you can bypass all the eastern cities to reach the imperial capital, but one thing I have always been unable to understand, that is, even if you detour to the northeast into the empire, there are still seven cities along the way, how the hell did they get around these city guards? ”

Zifeng looked at the map and thought for a while: "If it weren't for 50,000 cavalry." ”

Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and then patted his head: "Oh, why didn't I think of it? After the herald came in that day, he said that there were 50,000 cavalry outside the city, and we didn't confirm it in time, if it was just a trick, in fact, there were no 50,000, maybe only 10,000, or even less, thousands of cavalry, plus internal response, could completely bypass all the cities." ”

Zifeng said slowly: "I also suddenly remembered that Qin Yi had told me a similar strategy before. ”

Qingfeng frowned slightly: "You said that this strategy was told to you by the Fourteenth Princess?"

Zifeng nodded slightly.

Qingfeng Lan fell into contemplation again, raised his head after a while and said, "If the fourteenth princess told you, then she should be easy to see through such a skill, then why did she still agree to kiss?"

Zifeng shook her head, her brows furrowed slightly.

Qixing sat behind and sneered, "You two are really stupid, isn't it simple? ”

Qingfeng was stunned for a moment: "Did the fourteenth princess take the initiative to go to the Suju country? But why?"

Qixing shook his head: "I don't know about this, but as far as what you said, if she wasn't willing, I'm afraid she would have said it in the court, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that the third prince won't be able to live." ”

Qingfeng looked at Zifeng lying on the bed: "Could it be that she... ”

Zifeng said with a serious face: "No, she is not that kind of person, there must have been something that we don't know, so she made this decision." ”

Qingfeng sighed: "Then why is it? The fourteenth princess is very talented, if she doesn't return to her within two years, and marry a woman after two years, even if she doesn't help Suju country deal with the empire, it is equivalent to cutting off one of the empire's arms." ”

Zifeng stretched out a hand and gently grabbed Qingfeng's hand: "I beg you, you must rescue Qin Yi." ”

Qingfeng glanced at Zifeng, only to see that Zifeng's eyes were full of pleading: "I'll do my best!"

Zifeng let go of her hand with confidence, and then stared at the roof with her eyes, as if she was remembering something.

Qingfeng Lan picked up the map and looked at it again.

After a while, a guard outside the door asked, "Is the head of the Qingfeng Lan Sect here?"

Qingfeng Lan glanced at Zifeng, then at Qixing, and both of them shook their heads.

Qingfeng stood up and wanted to walk out the door.

Walking out of the dormitory door, I saw a guard standing there, Qingfeng Lan walked over and asked, "Are you looking for me?"

The guard glanced at Qingfeng Lan and arched his hand: "I was sent by Lord Wu, and Lord Wu asked me to tell you that the number of cavalry in Suju Country is fraudulent, there are no 50,000 at all, only less than 2,000 horsemen." ”

"What do you say? less than two thousand horsemen?"

"Yes, this is also what Lord Wu discovered after a lot of effort, there is a master of illusion in their army. ”

Qingfeng thought for a moment, if it was only less than two thousand horses, then there was no need to take any natural risks, as long as someone responded and avoided the patrol troops of each city, then he could go directly from the eastern border to the imperial capital, and after arriving outside the imperial capital, he used illusion to expand the number of cavalry. This also explains why Ding Junru is in such a hurry to leave instead of continuing to seek benefits in the imperial capital.

Qingfeng Lan raised his head and asked, "What else did Master Wu say?"

"Lord Wu asked me to tell you that there have been military operations in various border countries recently, and it seems to be just ordinary military activities, but Lord Wu asked you to pay attention to these changes may be special operations against the Empire, and Lord Wu asked you to wait for him to come back before making plans, and you must not act recklessly. ”

Qingfeng Lan nodded slowly: "Then does Your Majesty know about these news?"

"The recitals everywhere are on the way, and it won't be long before Your Majesty will know. ”

Qingfeng Lan nodded slowly: "In this way, you go back and tell Master Wu, I will act according to the situation, please rest assured." ”

The guard nodded and turned to leave.

Qing Fenglan stood on the high platform and looked at the continuous palace in the distance, falling into deep thought.
