Chapter Twenty-Four: The Green Mang Sword
Qiao Xiaoqiao was lying in Feng Lingxuan's arms and crying, when he suddenly felt that his feet and necks were rubbed by something. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Little dumplings!" She exclaimed in surprise.
"This little thing isn't honest! I'm about to bite through the small wooden box along the way! Feng Lingxuan smiled and turned to point to the small wooden box on the horse's back.
Qiao Xiaoqiao hugged Xiao Tuanzi and looked left and right, grinning happily, completely forgetting that there were still tears on his face.
"What a kid!" Feng Lingxuan couldn't help but rub Qiao Xiaoqiao's head.
"Why all of a sudden, so anxious? Didn't you say you were going to leave this morning? β
Qiao Xiaoqiao pouted, "Homesick!" After saying that, he lowered his head.
This is a truth, she is indeed homesick, but she is thinking about home in another world.
"Oh!" Feng Lingxuan smiled.
"Lord Wang! Where are you going? Qiao Xiaoqiao then remembered.
"Whoa!" Feng Lingxuan pointed at Xiao Tuanzi, "You forgot to bring something!" Feng Lingxuan raised his eyebrows mischievously.
"Lord Wang! You wouldn't be here to deliver the dumplings, would you? Qiao Xiaoqiao felt incredulous.
"Hmmm! Who made you so anxious, quietly ran away in the middle of the night, and caused me to wake up early in the morning! I almost couldn't catch up! Feng Lingxuan stretched lazily.
"Lord Wang! You," Qiao Xiaoqiao was moved and didn't know what to say.
"That's it! All right! Don't cry anymore! As for me, it's quite boring to be bored in Lingxuan Pavilion every day, this trip should be taken out to relax! Besides, the dango is also your dog, I just raised it for a few days! β
Yuan Mu stepped forward and hugged his fists, "Seventh Prince!" It's getting late, there's a small town not far ahead, why don't you have a good night's rest tonight and leave for your return tomorrow morning? Luckily? β
Feng Lingxuan waved his hand, "No need, I'm afraid that if I stay longer, I will be even more reluctant in my heart, hehe!" I mean, I can't bear to be a little group! With that, he turned and stepped on the horse.
Qiao Xiaoqiao stood on the side of the road until Feng Lingxuan's back disappeared into the vast night.
Xuantie lifted the curtain and walked into the tent of the dragon rhino, and the food brought in before was restored to the original and placed on the table, and the prince did not move.
"Your Highness! Are you looking for me? β
"You go and tell Ding Tai to select ten agile guards from my personal guards, and ride fast horses overnight, and you should be able to catch up almost tomorrow morning!" Remember! Be sure to keep your distance! Don't let them find out! β
"Your Highness!" Xuan Tie was startled, "You mean to send ten guards to secretly escort Xiao Qiao?" Your Highness! Escort Xiao Qiao, I naturally have nothing to say, but you have to transfer ten people from the personal guards! There are only twenty of your personal guards! Your Highness! It's too risky! The news of your personal expedition to the west has already spread throughout the country, and I don't know how many people with ill intentions are secretly waiting for an opportunity! Although we have an army of 100,000, it can't withstand someone's sneak attack, Your Highness! Xuan Tie Ken asks His Highness to think twice! β
"Just do as I say!" The dragon rhino looked a little tired.
"Your Highness! γβ
"Go down! I'm a little tired! β
Xuan Tie knew that it was useless to say anything, and he couldn't be clearer about the prince's character.
Long Xi was indeed a little tired, he lay in the tent and listened to the wind whistling outside the tent and slowly closed his eyes, in his dream, Qiao Xiaoqiao was standing in the garden, looking at him with a smile like a flower.
For seven days in a row, from sunrise to sunset, the soldiers gradually couldn't hold on.
"Your Highness!" That night, Ding Tai came to the prince's tent, "It's not a way to march like this, Your Highness!" I'm afraid that I haven't arrived in Xiguan yet, and the soldiers are already tired! β
Ding Tai is a captain of the Third Military Academy, a straightforward young man, he is Zhao Zhen's subordinate, and this time he has offended his boss by taking the initiative to ask Ying.
Long Rhino licked his chapped lips and raised his hand to point at the map, "Wolong Valley!" By the time we arrived in Wolong Valley, we were almost halfway through the trip, and we could have a good rest for the day there! β
"But Your Highness! There are at least three days left to go to Wolong Valley! I'm afraid the soldiers,"
"Want to be a comfortable soldier? It was only possible in peacetime! Now is the time for the country to be in crisis! We are fighting this battle to defend our homeland! What else is the enemy talking about at the moment? Pass the order! Before arriving in Wolong Valley, if there is a tired person! Chop!! β
"Yes!"
Ding Tai immediately felt a little more awe of this elegant prince in his heart.
Since the prince left, the palace has been silent a lot, and Zhao Lingxin's days have been spent in boredom.
If there is nothing important on weekdays, she stays in her own Taiwei Mansion, and even goes to Mingyue Palace less.
And Empress Mingyue seemed to be very satisfied with Zhao Lingxin's performance on the night before the prince's expedition, and specially rewarded her with a pair of jade bracelets.
Emperor Yan's condition did not improve, and Jiang Li had to serve while acting as the government minister.
Mu Qingyun was also named "General of the City Protector!" by the emperor! "Responsible for maintaining the peace of the imperial capital Yanlan.
Zhao Wei felt that he had been shelved, and he himself knew that this time he politely refused to lead troops to the west, not only the emperor, but even the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were extremely dissatisfied with him.
Since the last time he saw off the prince, the prince had said a few words to Zhao Lingxin in private, and he didn't know what was wrong with this kid these days? Every day, she looks like she can't give up, and there are so many times when she is angry with him as a father! This was absolutely not the case before.
On the tenth day after the prince left, Zhao Wei finally couldn't help but go to Mingyue Palace.
"! Wei Chen felt that the emperor seemed to be deliberately snubbing Wei Chen this time! Wechen is only afraid that when the prince returns, the emperor really doesn't need Weichen! β
Mingyue has been in a good mood recently, the prince is not here, even the wild girl who made her bad has returned to Dongyu, the emperor has been in bad health recently, she is really the overlord of the harem this time!
Mingyue didn't answer Zhao Wei's words, but just kept turning the sapphire ring on her finger, "Lord Zhao!" Do you remember the old way of Xuanzhen? β
Zhao Zhen was taken aback: "Sword Saint Xuanzhen? β
"Huh! Juggernaut? Who gave this name to him? In the eyes of this palace, Xuan Zhen is just a bull-nosed veteran who likes to play swords and dance swords! β
"! Hyun Zhen has been gone for more than ten years! Why did the mother suddenly mention him? β
"Look at this sapphire!" Mingyue stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Zhao Wei's eyes, "This sapphire variety is very rare!" Priceless! Some say it fell from the sky! Some people say it was fished out of the sea! As far as Hongu knows, there are only three in the world as big as Hongu's hand! β
Zhao Wei was puzzled, "Niangniang! Wei Chen doesn't know what this gem has to do with that Xuanzhen Taoist? β
"When my father was still a prince, he once went out of the palace to play, and was conspired by gangsters on the way, thanks to Xuan Zhen, who was passing by, to save him! At that time, Xuan Zhen was still very young! His father cherished him as a good material, and promised that when he ascended the throne, he would make him a general! But this Xuan Zhen is also very high, so he immediately declined! Say that there is no interest in mundane things! The father is a person who is very affectionate, and he always feels that he can't owe Xuan Zhenyi such a large favor, so he has to take out an ancestral piece of peerless blue treasure and give it to Xuan Zhen. Later, I heard that this bull's nose didn't know what method was used to divide the sapphire into three! One made jewelry and gave it to the prince's late mother, hehe! But then it fell into the hands of this palace! The other two were set by the bull's nose on two peerless swords! β
Zhao Zhen suddenly realized! "Qinglan Sword!"
Mingyue nodded, "That day, when I saw Xin'er come back with the Qinglan Sword given by the prince, this palace remembered this matter!" β
"! This Xuan Zhen is the prince's master! The gift of the Qinglan Sword to the prince is also expected! But you just said that there are two of these peerless swords! Where is the other one now? Does the mother know? β
"It is said that the other one is called Qingmang! I don't know where the Qingmang Sword is now! Bengong is not interested in that sword, what makes Bengong interested is the owner of the Qingmang Sword! Lord Zhao still remembers what the bull nose said back then! β
Zhao Wei shook his head blankly.
"The bull's nose said: All those in the world who hold the sword of the blue treasure are the talents of kings! Lord Zhao thinks about it, that bull's nose has a very high prestige in the five countries! What exactly does he mean by that? β
Zhao Wei thought for a long time, and suddenly patted his head, "Niangniang!" What do you meanγγ! β
"Shh Mingyue made a silent gesture, "So, Lord Zhao, what else do you have to worry about?" If Xin'er's move really can't go one day! Shouldn't we be prepared early? β
Zhao Wei was stunned, this queen openly admitted that she was at the mercy of her daughter as a chess piece! Isn't that γγγ
He didn't dare to think about it!
"! Wei Chen sent someone to find out the whereabouts of the Qingmang Sword! βγ
"Clever!" Mingyue chuckled, fiddling with the sapphire on her finger again.
