Chapter 356: Stealing the Talisman
Fen Ai sat on the bridge, took a willow branch in her hand, and paddled it in the lake, when she saw the fish swimming over, she happily called Wei Qi to come and play with her, and Wei Qi was watched by the maids reading.
These days, Xiao Baozi has lost a lot of homework under the pretext that Lan Wan'er is not at home.
Lan Wan'er saw Fen Ai pestering Wei Qi, stepped forward to pull her away, and then squatted down to reason with her, "Fen Ai, your brother must study hard, so that his brother can protect Fen Ai in the future." ”
These two children are sensible when they are well-behaved, but usually Lan Wan'er doesn't worry less about the two of them, Fen Ai is young, and no one plays in the house alone, and there is only a small bun entangled.
Now that the misunderstanding between Lan Xuan'er and Wei Xuanyun has been resolved, the two of them are still as harmonious as ever, but with children, Lan Xuan'er is not as willful as before, and everything will be done with children as the premise.
Fen Ai snuggled up in Lan Wan'er's arms, while Wei Qi was holding a brush and writing on rice paper, and from time to time there was a burst of happy laughter between several people.
Such a peaceful day is also what Lan Wan'er yearns for.
Dissent has been ruled out, and now she is also at ease to be her princess......
"Little Baozi will be like Daddy in the future, practicing martial arts to protect his mother and sister!"
"Fen Ai also wants to practice martial arts to protect his mother and brother!"
The immature voices of the two amused Lan Xuan'er.
"Okay, then the mother will protect your father." Lan Wan'er had gentle eyebrows and eyes, and looked at the two children in front of her, and she was very relieved in her heart.
At this time, Wei Xuanyun, who was standing at the door of the courtyard, stopped and looked at it, and did not go in, his expression was a little gloomy, but the corners of his mouth trembled slightly.
At night, after Lan Wan'er coaxed Fen Ai to sleep, she returned to her room, and when she just pushed the door open, she saw Wei Xuanyun, which startled her.
"Why are you standing here......
In the past, Wei Xuanyun would not stand at the door and wait for her, but today it is strange, Lan Xuan'er walked to the table, lifted the teapot and was about to pour water, but Wei Xuanyun hugged her from behind.
It was obvious that Wei Xuanyun's trembling body and his slightly hoarse voice could be felt: "Today, the emperor summoned me to the palace, the border war is tense, and I will go on the expedition tomorrow." ”
As soon as these words came out, the cup in Lan Xuan'er's hand suddenly rolled down on the table, she froze for a while, then turned around and looked at Wei Xuanyun, and said word by word: "Wei Xuanyun, are you joking with me?" ”
"No, the expedition agreement drawn up by the emperor, as well as the life and death situation, are all placed there." Wei Xuanyun pointed to the envelope on the table, and his words were slightly cold.
After Lan Xuan'er listened, she hugged Wei Xuanyun, her hands were clenched tightly, she snuggled in Wei Xuanyun's arms, but her heart was very uncomfortable, and all kinds of complex emotions filled her brain.
"You must come back safely......" Her voice was hoarse, tears drenching the sideburns beside her cheeks.
In the face of national affairs, Wei Xuanyun, as the prince of Fengwu Kingdom, cannot escape at this critical juncture, he enjoys everything given to him by the country, and he must also contribute to the country.
"Yes, these days, if you tell Fen Ai and Qi'er, just say that I went to the north to investigate the people's situation, don't tell them about it."
Lan Wan'er nodded, but she was still very worried in her heart.
This expedition is different from the past, Wei Xuanyun's mood is also very depressed, and now the military attaches of the DPRK and China can't suppress the foreign enemy, and the king of Wei is the most brave and warlike of the many princes, and the emperor can only send him.
If he is defeated, then he will go down in history, and once he is defeated, he will not only be spurned by the people, but even the history books will attribute all the blame to him.
Therefore, he can only win and not lose.
The next day, Lan Xuan'er went to bid farewell to Wei Xuanyun, and the man in front of her sat on a black horse, his silver helmet echoing the morning light, reflecting a dazzling light.
I saw Wei Xuanyun on horseback waving his hand to Lan Xuan'er, and then rode away, and the team of Haohao Tangtang behind him followed, just looking at his back, Lan Xuan'er felt indescribably sad in her heart.
The team drifted away until it disappeared from view.
At this time, Lan Wan'er suddenly opened her mouth and instructed the looking book on the side, "Looking for the book, go back and take care of Fen Ai and Wei Qi." ”
Hearing this, Mishu was surprised and couldn't help asking, "Master, where are you going?" ”
"Go to the front." She only left this one sentence, and turned around to look around.
After that, Lan Xuan'er immediately took the reins of the horse on the side of the road, then jumped up, rode on the horse, flicked the whip and went around to another road, to chase Wei Xuanyun and his party.
However, in order not to let Wei Xuanyun have worries and not want him to worry about herself, all this was carried out secretly by Lan Xuan'er.
At night, Lan Wan'er lit a bonfire by herself and kept warm on the path beside the forest, when she heard the sound of rustling and realized that something was wrong, she extinguished the fire.
Lan Wan'er hid behind a tree, only to see a group of black-clothed people walking in.
There were dozens of people, and they built a fire around them, and then the leader began to discuss the plan with several people.
"If this operation fails, take this pill."
"Boss, I heard that Lord Wei's martial arts are extremely high, I don't know ......"
"So that's why the emperor sent him to war, and when he is exhausted, that's when we start."
……
At this time, Lan Wan'er chuckled in her heart.
It turned out that this group of people was sent by the emperor to assassinate Wei Xuanyun, so it is no wonder that this group of people chose this trail.
At night, this group of black-clothed people fell asleep, and Lan Wan'er quietly put poison into the water bladders on their horses, breaking their souls for seven steps, colorless and tasteless, as long as they walked seven steps, they would inevitably fall down and die.
The next day, all of them died in the wilderness.
And what really shocked Lan Xuan'er was that the emperor actually sent someone to kill his own son, but fortunately, all this was stopped by her, otherwise Wei Xuanyun might really have no return this time.
She decided to immediately catch up with Wei Xuanyun's team and no longer act in secret.
When she rushed to the camp and entered the camp, she saw Wei Xuanyun deploying the battle line, and she shouted: "Lord Wang......"
Wei Xuanyun suddenly raised his head and saw that it was Lan Xuan'er, his brows frowned tightly, his face was a little angry and mixed with worry, "Xuan'er, why did you come with you?" ”
With that, he stepped forward to hold Lan Xuan'er's shoulder, and then looked around to see if she was injured.
"Lord, the emperor wants to kill you......" Lan Xuan'er's face was not good-looking, she hesitated for a long time, but decided to tell Wei Xuanyun about it.
Lan Xuan'er went straight to the point and told Wei Xuanyun about the secret guard sent by the emperor, and after he learned about it, although he was depressed in his heart, but now that the enemy army was crusading in front of him, he couldn't care about anything else.
Now the situation on the front line is not objective, the grain and grass have been consumed, and half of them have been taken by the enemy's sneak attack, and there are no reinforcements in this battle, Wei Xuanyun brought all the soldiers who were personally trained by the palace, and they were all people with families.
It's just that under such severe conditions, Wei Xuanyun became more and more frustrated, and he didn't believe that without food, grass, and soldiers, this battle would not be fought.
"Leng Feng, order to go down, bleed the war horse for the soldiers to replenish their strength, gather everyone in a moment, I want to reorganize the team!" In order to replenish the strength of the soldiers, this is the only way to make a decision, otherwise they will be dragged to death by the enemy.
As a result, the soldiers were full, and Wei Xuanyun took the opportunity to rectify the team with righteous words and improve the morale of the whole army.
"Our war horses died for us, and our country also needs us to defend, soldiers, are you willing to fight a bloody road with this king?"
Wei Xuanyun stood on the high platform, his voice was hoarse, but he didn't give up.
"Yes! Willing! The soldiers were united in their hearts and spoke in unison, and their voices resounded through the sky and rippled throughout the vicinity of the camp.
So, the war was about to break out, Wei Xuanyun took the soldiers to the battlefield again, this bloody and vicious battle was the beginning, the sword on the battlefield had no eyes, Wei Xuanyun took the sword, cut off the enemy's head, and has been rushing to the front of the soldiers to lead them.
It was dark, there was wolf smoke everywhere, and there were corpses everywhere, but it looked a little creepy.
"Take the enemy's head!"
Wei Xuanyun waved his long sword and ordered the soldiers behind him, and then the soldiers rushed up.
Wei Xuanyun won the first fierce battle, the morale of the army was stable, and the morale was high, which was a miracle, unprecedented, but Wei Xuanyun led everyone to do it.
The border war was urgent, although the first battle was won, but now there is no food and grass, and there are no reinforcements, they just can't support it for long, and the emperor learned of the military situation and did not plan to send troops to help.
Above the court, the courtiers did not understand what the emperor meant, and even though they repeatedly asked for their lives, the emperor was still indifferent.
In the military tent, Wei Xuanyun sat on a leather chair, with a topographic map on the table in front of him, after a few days of fighting, he looked a little tired, and the lack of food and grass made him look even more embarrassed.
"Without reinforcements, if we continue to consume, we will be defeated by the enemy, I will steal the talisman." Lan Xuan'er looked at Wei Xuanyun from the side, but suddenly brought up the matter of stealing the talisman.
But stealing the talisman is not a trivial matter, not to mention whether the emperor blames the two of them for this, if the battle is defeated, then the entire Fengwu country will fall into the hands of the enemy, but if they don't steal the talisman, they will face the annihilation of the whole army.
"No, it's too dangerous, our soldiers can carry it for a while, I'll think about it again."
Wei Xuanyun is worried that Lan Xuan'er is in danger, if the thief is caught, then even Wei Xuanyun can't save Lan Xuan'er, and then let someone with a heart be charged with treason, so how can Wei Xuanyun, who is on the front line, take care of her?
Lan Xuan'er didn't approve of it, she understood the current situation very well, so she had a dispute with Wei Xuanyun: "I can't bear the prince, how many soldiers in the army are starving to death now, if it continues, we are just consuming troops!" ”
"This king commands you to stay here and not go anywhere!"
A touch of scarlet appeared in Wei Xuanyun's eyes.
But Lan Xuan'er turned around solemnly, completely ignoring Wei Xuanyun's meaning, she knew that the soldiers couldn't afford to wait, and when life and death were at stake, she could only make this decision.
So, she went to the palace alone to steal the talisman.
