Chapter 58
The prince's harboring of salt really gave Si Kouxi a headache, she put most of her energy on this matter, listening to other people's reports every day, but the prince's side was still as bland as a bowl of clear soup, without any taste for people to savor.
The fighting on the front line of the Jianian Dynasty was suspended for a while, and King Shen pacified the people in the area that had been occupied, and it seemed that he had been running around to settle the people, but in fact he was waiting for Lan Jing to advance. His superficial behavior won the praise of the people, and the soldiers also thought that he had followed a good prince, but Mu Xi in the court did not think so.
Jing Xuan was sitting next to Mu Xi, with some worry in her eyes, and when she poured tea for Mu Xi, she finally couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, this Mu Jinshen has already led his troops to break through the first line of defense, and his lack of next move for a long time is a little worrying." Mu Xi snorted coldly, worried? In his opinion, there is nothing to worry about, he is not moving forward when the momentum is at its peak, that is, he is indecisive, and now that the army of Tengxiao Kingdom is approaching the second line of defense, when they arrive, Mu Jinshen will definitely not have the ability to fight back. Resettlement of the population of the occupied areas? It's ridiculous, he can only settle the people in that area, and he only has that ability. "He's really like his mother, indecision can't be a big deal."
Jing Xuan was strange, talking about the front-line war, how could it be involved in that unlucky woman, and she could only respond in her mouth. "If it weren't for He Shu's unwillingness to raise troops again, how could I succumb to the Tengxiao Kingdom." His eyes were full of anger, and his tone was full of unwillingness. Jing Xuan didn't understand, she also entered the palace a year after Mu Xi became emperor, and she didn't know about the early grievances between the two of them, so she couldn't express her opinion for a while, and would only follow Mu Xi's words.
In the early years, after Mu Xi became the emperor, he was not willing to only have these territories in his hands, and he was resentful of being a proton in Tengxiao Country in his early years, and wanted to vent his resentment, so he wanted to attack some territories on the border of Tengxiao Country to occupy them. It is true that the reputation of the Agni Army of the Jiangnian Dynasty at that time made the leaders of various countries and regions a little afraid, but this does not mean that the Tengxiao Kingdom is afraid, nor does it mean that the Jianian Dynasty has the ability to compete with the Tengxiao Kingdom for the same piece of meat. Mu Xi was carried away by anger, but He Shu knew very well the place where he was born and raised, and he also knew very well that the iron and bloody wrist of the emperor of Tengxiao Country at that time was something he could challenge.
She rejected Mu Xi's proposal, Mu Xi actually loved He Shu at that time, since He Shu refused, he also couldn't pick out a better general and gave up, but this has always been a pimple in Mu Xi's heart, in Mu Xi's opinion, this should belong to him, so that he succumbed to Tengxiao Country and the unwillingness in his heart became more and more.
Since this incident happened, He Shu found that Mu Xi, who had been a proton in Tengxiao Country for so many years, may have learned from the emperor how to be introverted, how to behave like a superior person, and how to be a scheming person, but the greed and irritability in his heart have not been smoothed out, but in the days of becoming a proton, the greed and unwillingness in his heart have become more and more prosperous. It's just that he didn't realize it, and he didn't begin to be exposed until he really became the emperor above ten thousand people.
He Shu's love for him is enough for her to tolerate everything about Mu Xi. From beginning to end, she was the only one who was wishful thinking, and Mu Xi had already buttoned her up for indecision. The accumulation of many things led to such an ending in the end.
Lan Jing's army made its way to the location of the second line of defense without having to be tested, but five kilometers away, Lan Jing signaled for the army to stop and set up camp in the same place. Tu Xiu didn't understand why he stopped at this time, didn't he go in, so he simply took it for himself all of a sudden. Lan Jing said: "This distance is until the war starts, and we have time to pass. This is also not easy to arouse suspicion. "Tu Xiu understood that everything here was arranged by Lan Jing, and he didn't say much." Prepare yourself, and tomorrow we'll meet the generals here. This sentence was naturally said to Tu Xiu, who said that he understood and retreated to camp with the soldiers.
Lan Qiong looked at him skillfully camped there, and felt quite funny, "This literati is quite adapted to the life of the military camp, and he didn't complain about being tired along the way." Qi Shu looked at the camp of the Carnival Dynasty army in front of him, squinted his eyes and said, "You think everyone is like you." Lan Jing found that these two people were not happy if they didn't choke a few words a day along the way, and he was used to it. Lan Qiong was about to refute it, but was interrupted by Qi Shu. "Lord Wang, I will leave to find King Shen tonight, and then Liao Ying will come to deliver your news, and I should not come back. Liao Ying is the messenger of our Bihai Palace training to transmit information, they are fierce and not easy to be shot, so please rest assured. ”
Lan Jing nodded, he knew that Qi Shu had always done things safely, and along the way, he found that this girl was definitely a person who could do big things. As soon as Lan Qiong heard her say that she wouldn't come back in a short time, he didn't know why he felt a little anxious, and even blurted out: "What are you going to do?" The tone was excited, his voice was a little loud, he himself was stunned at that moment, and Qi Shu and Lan Jing were even more startled. Qi Shu was a little at a loss all of a sudden, so she stumbled and said, "I need to go to the palace to get something." ”
Lan Qiong felt strange that there was something he needed to look for in the palace, and the palace was even more heavily guarded at this time, and it was very difficult to get things there. "Is this the task given to you by Bihai Palace? Need your ·····" Lan Qiong suddenly thought of her brother's leg, and the medicine to treat her brother's leg was in the palace. Then he went to the palace to make his brother's legs, and suddenly Lan Qiong didn't know what to say. Lan Jing seemed to sense something different flowing between the two of them, but it was so fast that he couldn't catch it, Qi Shu quickly spoke: "I have always been by the palace master's side, no matter how her identity changes, my identity will never change, so this time I am just to complete my mission." Lord Wang, when you arrive here, there will be Liao Ying in the northwest and the princess to deliver the news, you must take it yourself, otherwise they will hurt people. After speaking, he didn't wait for the two of them to say anything, just turned around and left.
Lan Qiong looked at the slender but tall back, and wanted to say something, but after all, she closed her mouth, and the loneliness in her eyes was nowhere to hide. Lan Jing finally understood, he patted Lan Qiong's shoulder and said, "She said that her identity can't be changed, but she didn't say that she couldn't change her identity." Lan Qiong looked at her brother with an uncertain expression in her eyes, "I ordered you to be the general of the town, and when the front line starts fighting, you will lead 30,000 troops all the way to the center of the imperial city, conquer all places in the name of the Fire Army, and make peace with the northwest according to the planned route, maybe, you can get the news of Qi Shu earlier than us." Lan Qiong understood her brother's intentions, but she had always been fighting with Lan Jing, and if she suddenly delivered an army of 30,000, she was afraid that she would mess up.
Lan Jing wanted to wait for Lan Qiong to answer him, but he didn't wait, and only looked at Lan Qiong's hesitation. He stumbled and said, "Brother... I'm afraid ······" Lan Jing had never felt his younger brother hesitate so much, he stared into Lan Qiong's eyes and said, "Lan Qiong, you have followed me to the battlefield many times, and you are also very clear about the affairs in the army, it is time for you to learn to stand alone." Lan Jing's eyes were full of trust and perseverance. Lan Qiong also looked straight into Lan Jing's eyes, nodded heavily, and Lan Jing hooked the corners of her mouth and left.
Over the years, it has always been this brother who has been in the limelight outside, and many people have ignored Lan Qiong, who has also grown up, and when the time comes to stand alone. Because he was born prematurely, he was weak since he was a child, and he was born with his mother's body. He knew that his father was a little sad about this, and sometimes he blamed him in his heart, because if it wasn't for his mother's insistence on giving birth to him, his mother might not have left so early. He thought that his brother would blame himself in the same way, but he didn't, but always accompanied him to practice martial arts and study, and with this brother's company, he lived a really carefree life.
His brother taught him the ability to block on his own, and at the same time blocked the most damage for him, and he was very happy to have such an older brother, and it was time for him to show him that his years of training had not been in vain. His brother had an even more difficult road ahead of him, and he couldn't afford to waste so much time on him.
