(Hero's Tomb Chapter 24) was forced to go on the expedition
"Brother, what do you think about this?"
After Xie Yanfeng returned to the Anping Marquis Mansion, he hurriedly found Xie Runzhu to explain the general situation and Nangong Qiyue's guess. And after finishing speaking, he looked at Xie Runzhu's slightly frowning brow and asked.
"If it is really as Qi Yue said, then the sky in the capital is about to change. ”
Looking at Xie Yanfeng, who was no longer as good as usual, Xie Runzhu's face was solemn.
"And, if it's just our own business, it's fine, but now there is Jiang Ren, this matter is a little tricky. ”
"It's not just Jiang Ren, I'm afraid there is also Lidanguo. ”
Xie Yanfeng shook the folding fan and lay on the soft couch by the window with a big grin.
"If the emperor really knows Yan Lingge's identity, then ......"
"I'll go to the palace right now. ”
"Hey, brother, don't worry. ”
Seeing that Xie Runzhu, who had always been calm, lost his bearings as soon as he heard about Yan Lingge, Xie Yanfeng sighed and hurriedly stopped him.
"Are you entering the palace now?" If the emperor asks you what you are doing in the palace, what will you say?"
"I ......"
Listening to Xie Yanfeng's question, Xie Runzhu was speechless.
"Brother, now Qi Yue has returned. ”
"I ...... Know. ”
"Then you can wait for news in the house. ”
Xie Yanfeng glanced at Xie Runzhu, who couldn't hide the anxiety on his face, and sighed helplessly.
"Well, that's it, I'll go find someone to find out what's going on in the palace. Qi Yue has been in the palace for a while, why hasn't she come out yet?"
"Who are you going to?"
Seeing that Xie Yanfeng was about to leave, Xie Runzhu asked: "That's the palace, Yanfeng, you can't come nonsense." ”
"Oh, rest assured. ”
After giving Xie Runzhu a reassuring look, Xie Yanfeng strode out with a folding fan.
......
"What did you say? You said that the emperor wanted to send troops to Jiang Ren?"
When Xie Yanfeng came back, it was already an hour later. And the one who returned to the Anping Marquis Mansion with him was Nangong Qiyue, who had just come out of the palace.
"Yes. ”
In the bamboo shadow curry, Nangong Qiyue stood with her hands on her chest and leaning against the door frame.
And listen to him, it is imperative to fight Jiang Ren. ”
"But when a war suddenly starts, how can you stop the mouths of the people?"
For a while, Xie Runzhu still couldn't accept the fact that there was going to be a war in China.
"In recent decades, my country has always been peaceful and peaceful, and there is no trouble with neighboring countries, how could the emperor suddenly have the idea of raising troops Jiang Ren?"
"Qingmang Mingzhu, Yan Feng should have told you. ”
Glancing at Xie Runzhu, who was still a little stunned, Nangong Qiyue said: "Dominate the world, isn't this reason enough?"
"But ......"
"Oops, brother. ”
Xie Runzhu just wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Xie Yanfeng.
"After so many years, can't you see what kind of person our emperor is?"
"I ......"
After a pause, Xie Runzhu sighed secretly, and then turned to Nangong Qiyue and asked, "Then the emperor wants you to lead the troops to the battle?"
"Hmm. ”
When it came to the war, Nangong Qiyue's face was faintly displeased. Xie Runzhu looked at the look of anger on his face and asked, "But what's the difficulty?"
"This time, the emperor sent troops to Jiang Ren on the grounds that Jiang Ren's soldiers repeatedly invaded our country's borders, logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this reason, if I am asked to lead troops to Jiang Ren for this reason, I will not have any objections, but ......"
"Bang" punched the door frame, Nangong Qiyue gritted her teeth and said: "But the emperor actually used Ge'er as an excuse to let me take Jiang Ren within three months." ”
"What?"
Hearing this, Xie Runzhu was shocked.
And Xie Yanfeng had already heard Nangong Qiyue talk about things on the way back with Nangong Qiyue, so although he was also full of dissatisfaction at this time, he didn't show it too obviously.
"Three months!"
Nangong Qiyue clenched her fists.
"Although Jiang Ren is a small country, everyone in the world knows that he is brave and good at fighting, even ordinary people can hold swords and guns and ride war horses on the battlefield. Although there are many soldiers in our army, they are all straw bales that are not of good ......use! If so......"
"If the brave cavalry founded by the old general of Nangong is still there, let alone three months, one month is enough to step on Jiang Ren. ”
After receiving Nangong Qiyue's words, Xie Yanfeng walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly.
"Then the emperor plans to keep the princess under house arrest in the palace all the time?"
"Anyway, listening to him today, I have no intention of letting Ge'er go back to the General's Mansion. ”
Suppressing the grief and indignation that suddenly surged in her heart, Nangong Qiyue looked at a weeping willow in the garden with red eyes.
Xiao Yong Cavalry, that is a father when he was alive to create an army, the market said, Xiao Yong Cavalry in every soldier is able to go deep into the enemy camp alone and retreat like a god-like person, once the soldiers and generals of other countries heard the name of the brave horse, it is even more not even dare to show the face, "in the name of bravery, the soldiers of the town in all directions", it is said that the invincible brave cavalry of the year.
However, such an army with strict military discipline and dedication to the country was forced to be disbanded 15 years ago because of the emperor's sentence "Now that the Haiyan River is clear, I pity the suffering of the generals who cannot reunite with their relatives".
His father was brave and loyal to the country all his life, and the military camp was his lifelong belief, and the words of the former emperor were obviously afraid that his father's achievements would be high. So because he couldn't stand this blow, not long after the disbandment of the brave cavalry, he became ill, coupled with the old injuries on his body, and then died in less than a year.
And the mother, because of her infatuation with her father, pulled herself to the age of ten when she was on the verge of despair, and finally realized her long-cherished wish to meet her father again with a white silk.
Although he also followed his father in and out of the barracks when he was young, he did not really appreciate their demeanor, but their legendary deeds appeared in his mother's mouth again and again. And because of this, for so many years, I have worked hard to practice martial arts and select soldiers for special training, just to reproduce the style of brave riding back then.
However, now, his army has just taken shape, although it is much better than the ordinary army, but it is still a little difficult to take Jiang Ren in three months. But if Jiang Ren can't be leveled within the time limit set by the emperor, then she will ......
"Qi Yue. ”
Seeing that Nangong Qiyue began to be in a daze after Xie Yanfeng mentioned the brave ride just now, Xie Runzhu glanced at Xie Yanfeng reproachfully, and then walked to Nangong Qiyue's side.
"What did the emperor say about Jiang Ren?"
He only gave me a time limit to pacify Jiang Ren within three months, and said that if I couldn't take Jiang Ren by then, he would make Ge'er's identity public. ”
"Publicly?"
Xie Runzhu frowned: "Your Majesty, does he really know the true identity of the princess?"
"Hmm. ”
Nodding, Nangong Qiyue looked at Xie Runzhu and the two of them a little apologetically.
"Originally, the matter of the song had nothing to do with you, but because I ...... If the emperor investigates the crime of bullying the king, I am afraid that you will not be able to get rid of the relationship. ”
"When is it? Why are you still saying such outrageous things?"
A punch slammed into Nangong Qiyue's chest, Xie Yanfeng pursed his lips and said, "Have you done it for nothing for so many years?"
"Ahem, ahem...... It's me...... Gaffes. ”
Holding his chest, Nangong Qiyue ninja coughed a few times in severe pain.
"What's wrong with you?"
Seeing the look of pain on Nangong Qiyue's face, Xie Yanfeng and Xie Runzhu hurriedly asked. And Xie Yanfeng suddenly remembered that Nangong Qiyue had been injured in Jiang Ren.
So he looked at his fist with a little weakness, and Xie Yanfeng asked cautiously: "Didn't you say that your injury was a skin injury? I didn't use much strength for that punch just now, but I saw that your painful sweat came out." ”
“......”
glanced at Xie Yanfeng, and Nangong Qiyue was speechless.
Isn't it because you're afraid you're worried?
"You're hurt, I'll call the doctor!"
Because of Xie Yanfeng's words, Xie Runzhu walked out of the door anxiously. But as soon as one of his feet stepped out of the door, he was stopped by Nangong Qiyue.
"You don't need to stir up the crowd, really...... It's just a skin wound that's already healing. ”
"Really?"
looked suspiciously at Nangong Qiyue, who was still in a cold sweat on his forehead, Xie Yanfeng didn't believe it.
"You take off your clothes and show me the wound. ”
“......”
Glancing at Xie Yanfeng again, Nangong Qiyue slowly walked to the stool and sat down.
"It's really fine, don't worry. Now that Ge'er's safety is uncertain, I don't dare let anything happen to myself. ”
"That's good. ”
Hearing Nangong Qiyue say this, Xie Yanfeng was relieved. But Xie Runzhu is still a little worried.
"Don't you really need to see a doctor?"
"Not really. ”
Looking at Xie Runzhu with a smile, Nangong Qiyue slowed down and said, "I came this time, in addition to telling you about the current situation, there is also another very important thing to ask you for help." ”
"Cut, what's not please, why is there so much nonsense?"
Returning to Nangong Qiyue, he rolled his eyes, and Xie Yanfeng said: "Don't be mother-in-law, hurry up!"
"In order to preemptively strike and be unprepared, I think I will lead the troops to Jiang Ren in a few days, and during my absence, the people in the general's mansion have to be taken care of by you. ”
"Anything else?"
Poking his hair with a fan, Xie Yanfeng asked.
"And Ge'er, although the emperor won't do anything to her now, I can't rest assured that she is alone in the palace, so I ......"
"Well, is there anything else?"
Interrupting Nangong Qiyue's words, Xie Yanfeng asked again.
"Uh...... Without. ”
After thinking for a while, Nangong Qiyue said: "And you, pay more attention, especially the style of speech, you try to be as low-key as possible during this time, don't attract the emperor's attention." ”
“......”
Hearing Nangong Qiyue say himself by name, Xie Yanfeng rolled his eyes again.
"I said General Nangong, you can take care of yourself and come back from the battlefield safely, ah. ”
"Haha, okay. ”
understands that even if he doesn't say that the people in the Anping Marquis Mansion will take care of his general's mansion very thoughtfully, so Nangong Qiyue can't help but sigh, how lucky he is in this life to have such two good brothers!
