(11) Brothers
He only nodded, dismounted, and handed over his mount to them, without stopping. He walked fairly fast, and his back was as straight as ever. When a few little heavenly soldiers saw him, their eyes lit up, revealing their heartfelt admiration, and they unconsciously stood up straighter.
He smiled.
When he was about to arrive at Chen'an Palace, he finally slowed down his pace, took off his heavy helmet, and his forehead was already full of cold sweat.
He bent down, coughed a few times, leaned himself against a rockery, closed his eyes and gasped weakly.
Walk fast so that the soldiers who admired him will not see his pale face, and if he does not speak to them, they will not realize that his hoarse throat is speechless.
He is the god of war in their hearts, the myth of the undefeated in this ninefold heaven, and he doesn't want them to see any of his weak appearance.
The national strength of the Yinlong clan is declining, internal and external troubles, and his father's Lingxiao throne is becoming more and more unstable day by day, but fortunately, the four soldiers of "Heaven, One, Life, and Water" under his command are still quite effective, so they can calm this precarious situation for their father.
The Yanlong clan is naturally fierce, and the whole clan is fierce and good at fighting, regardless of age or age, but can only succumb to the barren land of Mobei, and has not concealed its wolf ambitions for nearly a thousand years, vainly trying to send troops to Yinlong, attacking the Nine Heavens and replacing it. It's just that he is forced by his prestige and prestige of Xuanyuan Jinghua, and at present, he is only making a small fuss at the border, and doing some half-painful things to restrain his energy and probe his hypocrisy, and he has not yet taken too excessive actions.
There is also a Canglong family, which originates from the West Sea and is rich enough to rival the country. The kings of all dynasties have submitted to the Yinlong of the Celestial Clan, and they have also paid tribute every year, and they seem to be at peace. However, the current Canglong King is known for his virtue, not only managing the water tribe under the seat in an orderly manner, but also collecting all the water demon pirates who originally disturbed the people with a lot of money for his own use, and organizing them into a large army that can be fought and defended. With such a sufficient treasury and excellent armament, once an army rises into rebellion, its threat is no less than that of the fire dragon.
In such a situation, how dare he relax a little? I am afraid that if he shows a little fatigue today, he will be rumored to be in the camp tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow there will be a big attack by the enemy army.
To his father, he was a pillar that could never be defeated, and to soldiers, he was an invincible hero. Xuan Yao always said that his father was too unkind, and Chang Jing'an hated him for not taking care of his body, but they didn't understand that in his position, many things had already been involuntarily, and he was not just for the person on the throne of Lingxiao.
It's for this family, this empire.
If he falls, tomorrow the army will attack, and there will be no eggs under the nest?
Jinghua smiled bitterly, he didn't dare to let himself rest for long, and he gritted his teeth and got up after a while. For as long as he can remember, he has been accustomed to this less competitive body, and he has also been used to forcing himself to endure all kinds of discomfort from time to time. He is the god of war, the benchmark of all people, no matter how uncomfortable he is, he must not be affected in the slightest way, and he must always be determined and heroic.
But maybe he got up too violently, his feet were weak, and his body shook and he almost knelt on the ground. At this moment, a pair of hands suddenly held him firmly, and someone whispered in his ear: "Second brother, be careful!"
In the next moment, Jinghua had stood up straight again, silently avoiding Chenhua holding his hands, "Why did you come?"
Chenhua smiled gently, "Let's take a look at the second brother." Last time, my second brother was sick, and I didn't have a chance to come to see you. ”
In the Chen'an Palace, the brothers sat opposite each other. Jinghua took off his armor, Xu was facing his brother, and his tense body looked a little relaxed. Chenhua took a sip of the tea offered by Jing'an, and did not say anything in his mouth, but frowned.
Seeing this, Jinghua smiled and said, "Is this tea not your appetite?"
Chenhua glanced at Jinghua's cup and said curiously, "What did the second brother drink?" He didn't wait for the other party to agree, grabbed the cup, and only took a sip, then choked and coughed repeatedly, and said with a bitter face: "What a fierce wine." ”
Jinghua smiled: "Children, don't learn to drink if you don't know how to drink." ”
Chen Hua was unconvinced and said, "Where am I a child!" He coughed twice, and then cleared his throat and said, "Second brother, what kind of wine is this? Why does it still smell of medicine?"
Jinghua smiled and said, "This is medicinal wine, which naturally has a medicinal taste." Seeing that I didn't want to drink the medicine, Jing'an came up with this method of soaking the medicine in wine so that I could still drink a little. ”
"Does it work?"
Jinghua took another sip and said leisurely: "The medicine is useless, but the wine is not bad." ”
Chenhua also smiled, "Second brother should pay attention to his body, you don't value it yourself, but someone values it." ”
Jing Hua knew who he was talking about, put down the cup, sighed lightly and finally said, "Bao Yao, are you okay these days?"
"If you don't go to see her, how can she be okay?" Chen Hua shook his head and said, "You two are really, you like to stuff everything in your stomach." Your husband was sick early, and she was so anxious that she wiped her tears every day, but she couldn't wipe her face to see you in the palace. You are fine now, leading the troops to practice every day, but I don't know if you can take the time to go to her to make a compensation. ”
He took out the drop of water from his bosom and said, "That day she cried alone to throw this thing away, and I was persuaded by me." You too, I saw Jing'an wearing a pair earlier, how can this given to Xuan Yao be the same as the one given to Jing'an? No wonder people want to brainstorm you!"
Jinghua was stunned for a moment, and then said: "What Jing'an is on was sent by Changning, not me." ”
Chenhua let out an "oh", "That's your fault." I said second brother, I will absolutely obey you if I lead the troops to fight, but why don't you understand the thoughts of this girl's family? You and Bao Yao, one Feijun does not marry, and the other Feiqing does not marry, but you go to your father to ask for a will earlier, marry her back, and don't feel good about her? She is thin-skinned, but you have to ask other girls to come and urge you, so you can't be considerate of her?"
Jinghua looked at his cup sullenly, but didn't say a word.
Chenhua said again: "Don't blame me for being too talkative, I have already gone to my father to help you probe the wind in this matter." ”
Jinghua looked up sharply and looked at him steadily.
"You two are like lukewarm, so I, as a brother, have to help you and fan the flames. Chenhua smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, my father didn't object after hearing it, although the eldest brother is not yet married, but the candidate for the crown princess must be carefully considered, and it can't be decided for a while, and there is no need to let you hang on your side in order to wait for the eldest brother." Father Jun said that when you make a great contribution one day, he can take the opportunity to discuss with the queen mother, after all, Xuan Yao is the queen mother's daughter, and she still needs her to nod and agree. ”
