Chapter Thirty-Seven: Years and Whom Do They Ask?
The faces of the crowd changed from surprise at the beginning to admiration. Cheng Shinan kept stroking his palms and laughing.
The music stopped, and the crowd applauded. They all praised King Luan.
"Luan'er, you have hosted the family banquet at the beginning, this time is the most lonely! Hahahaha! ”
Cheng Luan stood up from his seat, walked to the center, and saluted: "Father, my son doesn't dare to hold it up this time." However, this idea really wasn't come up by Erchen. ”
"Oh, is it possible, Luan'er has a master behind him?"
Cheng Luan looked at me sideways, and suddenly smiled slyly: "It is true that this master is still given by his father to his son!" ”
Cheng Shinan laughed and pointed at me: "It turned out to be Jinse, it seems that I chose you to assist Luan'er, and I chose the right one!" ”
The commotion in the hall resumed. Probably no one thought that the mastermind behind this grand banquet was actually a shabby and ordinary woman like me.
I really didn't think that Cheng Luan would directly inform Cheng Shinan that I planned this family banquet, so I looked at it in a daze.
Just bumped into Cheng Hao's eyes, he only stared at me, his eyes were cold and terrible, as if he was going to eat me.
"Miss Jinse is really talented, I admire it!" A man in Tsing Yi bowed his hand to me diagonally, and I looked back at him, who was one of the people who had pointed me out earlier.
I stood up, and before I could answer, another man in a long beard said, "Miss Jinse, it really makes all the men in my ritual department embarrassed!" ”
The crowd echoed the voice.
I sneered inwardly and only bowed. Tilting her head, she saw that Princess Nanshan was covering her mouth and chuckling, and she was meeting my eyes at this time, so she glared and glanced around, and then pouted at me, shrugged her shoulders, and looked helpless.
I pursed my lips and smiled, and for a moment I knew it.
I have always heard that the king of Nanshan is depressed and does not want to make progress because of the bewitchment of Princess Nanshan, but when I see it today, this rumor is not credible.
This is really a strange woman!
"Luan'er, this time your family banquet is very lonely, tell me, what reward do you want?" Cheng Shinan leaned back in his chair and asked with a smile.
"Father, but there is one thing I want to ask my father to fulfill."
"Just tell me about it."
"Erchen wants to go to the west and learn to lead troops to fight!" As soon as Cheng Luan said this, the hall suddenly fell silent.
Who doesn't know that King Luan grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, and he is really frightening in terms of ruthlessness. However, in terms of strategy, he could not convince the people.
There are too many cronies in the north of the Li country, and the eastern border of the Qi country is strong, but the current lord does not want to fight against other countries, but it is not easy to take it.
It seems that this Luan King has long planned this.
Cheng Shinan was also silent, he frowned, as if he was extremely worried.
"Luan'er, have you thought about it?"
Cheng Luan nodded firmly: "As a royal man, the son also wants to do the cause of the country, please ask your father to trust your son, and your son will live up to his father's expectations." ”
Cheng Shinan was silent for a while, waved his hand, and said: "Okay, Gu will write a letter to Han Jiang, the general of the Western Realm, tomorrow, and ask him to take care of you more!" ”
Cheng Luan said happily: "Thank you, Father Wang...... It's just that Erchen still has a request......"
Cheng Shinan put down the wine glass that he wanted to bring to his lips, and said in a deep voice: "Let's hear it." ”
"Erchen, I want to take Jinse with you!"
The already silent hall was in an uproar. I was also shocked, I never thought that Cheng Luan would think of taking me to the west! Although the Li State did not explicitly stipulate that women were not allowed to join the army, the previous dynasty was unprecedented!
I couldn't help but look at Cheng Hao, he didn't seem to expect Cheng Luan to have such a appearance, at this time, his hands were tightly clasped on the armrests of the wheelchair, but his face was as usual.
Cheng Shinan had already recovered from his initial surprise and smiled at me, "Jinse, what do you think of yourself?" ”
And so it is again! Is this a trick used by the lord of the country?
I know that I can't get any answers from Cheng Hao, and there are many ministers, and it is inconvenient for him to open his mouth for me to make an idea. This will only confirm my reputation for making the two princes incompatible.
So he lowered his head, his mind flowed quickly, and finally raised his head, and said with a smile: "Jin Se is willing to follow King Luan!" ”
Rumble!
The entire Chengtian Temple looks like it's about to explode!
I felt like my heart was shattering. I know what that means.
I secretly looked at Cheng Hao, his eyes were closed, and his chest was heaving deeply a few times, as if he was suppressing some emotion. When I opened my eyes again, there was a thick sadness and doubt flowing from my dark purple eyes.
I struggled to suppress the bitterness at the base of my tongue.
Lang Sheng said to Cheng Shinan: "Jin Se still has one more thing to ask for, and I hope that the lord of the country will be fulfilled." ”
Cheng Shinan rested his elbows on the desk, leaned forward, and looked at me with interest: "You speak!" ”
"Jin Se went to the west with King Luan this time to serve the Li Kingdom. Jin Se is a woman, and it is inevitable that she will be looked down upon by men in the army, so Jin Se wants to ask for an official position for herself! ”
"Didn't you let King Luan assist before Lone? This time, you are the military advisor of King Luan. Cheng Shinan smiled, still wanting to be perfunctory at will.
"That's a private position next to King Luan, what Jin Se is asking for is a position in the army!" I said it absolutely clearly. I know that although those positions are vain, I am a weak woman, but I can protect myself from losing my life among all men.
The ministers were in an uproar again, and many whispered that I didn't know how to lift, and I just smiled and waited.
As soon as I can bring it up, I know that Cheng Shinan will definitely agree. Otherwise, how else could he let me contain his two princes?
If you want a piece to work, you must first increase the value of the piece!
Sure enough, Cheng Shinan hesitated for a while, and then spoke: "Jin Se, although she is a woman, she has the talent of the world, and she is the person that Luan'er fancies, this time, I order you to be the right general under the command of Han Jiang, the general of the Western Territory, and work with him to help Luan'er rectify the situation of the troops in the Western Territory, don't be alone!" ”
I immediately curtsied and saluted: "Jinse, the right general of the Western Frontier, obey the king's orders!" ”
Chengtian Hall is silent.
All eyes are on me, the first female general in the history of the country.
And I, looking at the figure on the right, was also looking at me fixedly, with a dark purple look in which the emotion was difficult to understand.
The turbulent times are ups and downs, and people's hearts are uncertain. I don't know when we will be able to see each other?
The king of Luan got his mind and drank his wine at the banquet, and all the princes and officials came to toast and celebrate, but he did not refuse anything, and he was drunk after a while.
Seeing that he was drunk, the lord of the kingdom motioned to the entourage of King Luan to send him back to his house, and I wanted to go back with him, and when I got up, I saw the white figure on the left hand side slowly standing up and walking towards me.
I turned around and saluted with a smile.
Princess Nanshan returned the salute, looked at me and smiled first, her dark and thick eyelashes blinked lightly twice, and she spoke in a very soft voice with an alien accent.
"Sister Jinse, today is like a familiar sight. Due to the inconvenience of the body, replace the wine with tea, and toast you! With that, he drank the contents of the cup.
Only then did I realize that her lower abdomen was slightly bulging under her white clothes, and she was pregnant.
"Jinse is honored!" I laughed.
So he poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it with his head up.
I couldn't help but look at the King of Nanshan, who felt my gaze and turned his head to me gently. The smile is warm and tranquil.
Such two people, let me think about what kind of collusion they have with Cheng Luan, I will definitely not believe it. If you want to come to Chengluan, there must be something strange about building a palace in Chuzhou.
Cheng Luan called me loudly at the entrance of the hall, he was already drunk and a little out of proportion.
Turning around, I looked again at the figure above, who was slowly sipping a glass of wine......
King Luan was not lightly drunk, so he called the sedan chair to send him out of the palace. Along the way, he was even more drunk.
"Jinse, today I ...... Finally able to go to the border...... You're happy for me......"
"I ...... Finally, finally can...... Comparable to Cheng Hao...... He, doesn't he just rely on the power of the army in his own hands? Take a look now...... Who's worse than who......"
"Jinse, Jinse...... You follow me, I'm ...... will protect you......"
"Father, father...... Why do you only value Cheng Hao...... He's a broken leg of the waste...... Where, where can I compare ......"
"Father, from his birth...... Everything is his...... Don't forget, I, Cheng Luan...... Saddle your horse and ...... for you"
……
I walked outside the sedan chair, listening to his words along the way, and I was overwhelmed.
Then he said to the attendant: "Why don't you stop your lord's mouth?" ”
The attendant was stunned and at a loss.
I said sharply: "The prince is drunk and talks nonsense, if it is heard by someone in the palace, it will reach the ears of the lord tomorrow, and the lord of the country will blame the prince, do you still have your life?" ”
When the attendant heard this, he seemed to have a cold war, and immediately turned out a blackened old handkerchief, casually gathered a group, shouted that the sedan chair driver had stopped, and went in and stuffed Cheng Luan's mouth, Fang Chang breathed a long sigh of relief.
The roots of my ears were suddenly cleared, and I was able to sort out the events of the day.
The change came too quickly, and people were caught off guard. However, since the age of nine, hasn't the change already begun?
It's just that this time I'm going to go to the border, it's the barracks, and it's the place where men have made meritorious contributions since ancient times.
is also the place where Wang Chenghao of Ningyuan grew up...... Perhaps, this is the real reason why I decided to go to the West.
I want to experience what he has been through, so that I can match him!
Although I know that the western frontier of today is no longer the western frontier of his time......
Thinking so, he was already outside the palace gate, and the carriage he had been riding in was already waiting there.
I pulled Cheng Luan into the carriage with the attendant and sat down across from him.
Today's banquet tossed for a long time, and I spent a lot of brainpower, and I was also very tired, so I leaned against the car window and pretended to sleep.
In a daze, a burst of wine rushed to the sky. slowly opened his eyes, but saw Cheng Luan's face enlarged in front of him.
The handkerchief on his mouth was torn off by him at some point, and he was shaking it now, as if he was about to come and hug me.
"Jinse, Jinse...... Ben King, like your tight ...... You followed me...... I'm not going to lose you......"
I hurriedly dodged to the side, the space in the carriage was limited, and half of his body was already pressed against me.
"Wait for me to ascend to the throne...... There's nothing to do with Cheng Hao......"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and tore at my clothes!
I looked coldly at Cheng Luan's face that kept approaching me, and a raging fire burst out in my chest. Cheng Luan, do you know that your hands are stained with the blood of the woman's parents under you?
I freed up my hand that was not pressed by him, and with all my strength, I slapped him in the face!
"Smack!"
Cheng Luan was in pain and looked at me in a daze.
The attendant outside the car heard the sound, opened the curtain and looked in, and saw that Cheng Luan was pressing on me, so he hurriedly lowered the curtain and didn't dare to make a sound.
"Smack!"
Another palm. This time, it was the other side that was played.
Cheng Luan covered his cheeks, slipped to the ground, and cried.
I snorted, kicked him, straightened my clothes, and leaned against the window again to close my eyes.
