"Oh? Are you sure? King Yu was also quite surprised when he heard about Pingzhou, and looked at Xuan Shaoning's eyes with both puzzlement and encouragement, "This time, the people of Pingzhou are fierce, if they don't have full prestige, they are afraid that they will be difficult to tame, and now there is no longer what it used to be, the situation is complicated, are you ready to prepare?" ”

After listening to Pei Zhenghao's introduction, Xuan Shaoning had already flipped back and forth several times on the way to see King Yu, he knew very well that this recruitment was an opportunity, but also a challenge, and it was the time to prove himself.

"Yes, I've already thought about it, no matter what, I have to try it once, and I ask Your Highness to agree!"

King Yu was very familiar with the situation in Pingzhou, and at the same time was even more surprised and admired by Xuan Shaoning's decision. He didn't know the loyalty and bravery of the Pingzhou soldiers, but even if he was as prestigious as King Yu, he was not completely sure that he could train a righteous servant like Pei Ye's subordinates, and the small friction with Xiliang in recent years was also constant, and he was also powerless, and he was more worried that Xuan Shaoning would not be able to deal with Pingzhou Prefecture. But since he dared to volunteer, King Yu was still willing to fulfill it, and at the same time he also admired Xuan Shaoning's courage.

"The courage is commendable, this king naturally agrees, this king will strive for grace time, let it go!" King Yu looked at Xuan Shaoning with burning eyes, and at the same time pressed his hand heavily on his shoulder. Xuan Shaoning saw the encouragement and trust in King Yu's eyes, and at the same time felt the arduousness and difficulty of this task, but there was no chance to turn back when he came to this point, and the only thing he could do at present was to nod vigorously.

"I was also surprised when I heard Shao Ning's decision, since His Royal Highness has agreed, then you might as well let me go with Shao Ning and take care of each other." Pei Zhenghao was also kind, but he didn't expect Xuan Shaoning to oppose it.

"Commander Pei wants to travel back and forth between Mobei and the capital, and he is also entangled in affairs, so I am determined to go to Pingzhou alone."

For Xuan Shaoning's opposition, King Yu was also a little surprised, but it sounds a little reasonable, now he was left in the capital by Emperor Liang, and he couldn't return to Mobei for a long time, and Pei Zhenghao was also his confidant, and there were still many places where he was needed, so it would be Xuan Shaoning.

Xuan Shaoning himself was a little surprised by the objection that Fang Cai blurted out, why did he not want Pei Zhenghao to go with him, because he was afraid that he would see that he was weak? Or are you afraid that you will be robbed of your credit after you succeed? Sure enough, as the Master said, the more you grow, the more you realize the complexity of the human heart. Unconsciously I have left the palace of the king of Yu, walking alone on the street, suddenly grunted, bowed my head and touched it with my hand, it turned out that my stomach was calling, only then I remembered that it was already sunset dusk, and I hadn't eaten yet, and now a matter of heart landed, it was better to go and reward myself well. Where did it go? By the way, it is still Wantong's Leng Yue Zhai is the most suitable. Just as Xuan Shaoning was walking towards Leng Yuezhai with brisk steps, there was a person who had been following him.

Walking to the end of the Heavenly Street and going west is the Guoren District, Leng Yuezhai is in the most lively place in the Guoren District, the figure followed Xuan Shaoning until the end of the Heavenly Street, and the figure disappeared after a turn. The man was standing at the end of the long street and was in a daze, but Xuan Shaoning suddenly walked out from behind her.

"You're stalking me?" If it weren't for seeing that the other party was a woman, I was afraid that Xuan Shaoning would have to do it.

"Ahh Obviously, this woman didn't expect to be recognized by Xuan Shaoning, and turned around with her frightened eyes open. This woman's appearance is not outstanding, and her dress is very simple, but she has an indescribable temperament, just like a clay pot planted with peonies, although the texture is ordinary, but because of the aristocratic temperament of peonies, the clay pot is also different.

"You...... Are you someone close to the princess? Xuan Shaoning vaguely recognized the woman in front of him.

"Yes, Captain Xuan, the little girl is the snow ring next to the princess." The woman found that Xuan Shaoning recognized her, but she relaxed, "Captain Xuan, I know that you must be very strange why I am here, and why I have been following you, in fact, it is all because of the princess." ”

"Because of the princess?"

"Naturally, the princess was very worried when she heard that you had recruited troops several times in vain, so she asked the slave maid to come to Captain Xuan, and the princess said that since the captain is useless in the capital, it is better to change places, maybe the sky will be wide!"

"Ahh Xuan Shaoning didn't expect the princess to pay so much attention to herself, and she also came up with an idea, and what was even more rare was that this idea was the same as that strange old man!

"It's really embarrassing for the princess, and you're still worried about me."

Xuehuan pursed her lips and smiled, "The princess's heart for the captain, has the captain ever understood?" I hope that the captain will not disappoint the princess. With that, he walked away quickly.

"Snowring Girl!"

Xuehuan, who was far away, stopped when he heard the sound, looked back at Xuan Shaoning, Xuan Shaoning swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Please tell the princess, I will leave for Pingzhou in a few days......."

Snow Ring nodded and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Princess! Xuan Shaoning was actually a little moved, the dignified princess would send her personal maid to give an idea for the sake of a little captain of her own, and anyone could see this intention. However, why was Luo Yao's face slowly emerging in his mind at this time, in addition to being moved.....

"How? Did he listen to my advice? But what do you have to say to me? ”

"Princess, you are too anxious, which one should I answer first?"

"Okay, you girl, hurry up, or I'll be angry!"

"Alright, alright, my Highness the Princess." Xuehuan paused, pinched her throat and pretended to be a male voice and said: "The princess is worried about the last general, it is really an honor for the last general, please tell the princess that the last general will go to Pingzhou in the near future, and I hope the princess can rest assured!" ”

"Did he say it?"

"Naturally, can I still deceive the princess?"

"In this way, he is going to Pingzhou to recruit troops. Sure enough, I changed places, I think it was earlier than me, right? ”

"Princess, don't be lonely, no matter what, at least you want to go together, I think Captain Xuan must be grateful to the princess in his heart."

"Will you?"

"Of course, when I looked at Captain Xuan, my face slowly changed from shock to joy and then to expectation!"

"Really?"

"How dare Xuehuan deceive the princess!"

Princess Yunxuan put her hands together and gently put them on her chest, lowered her head, let her jaw against her chest, her face flushed slightly, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and she looked like a girl with a spring attitude, and even Xuehuan on the side couldn't help laughing.

"Your Highness the Princess!" At some point, Lady Ying also appeared in the royal garden, and she walked up to the princess and saluted, saying, "I don't know that the princess is so happy when she meets a happy event!" ”

"Huh? How can you tell I'm happy? ”

"Princess, your face is full of happiness! Don't say it's winter, even if it's spring, this garden full of spring can't compete with the princess's lovesickness! ”

"You...... I don't think I can hide anything from you......."

"Hehe" Yingshuren smiled and took the princess's hand, "My good princess, women are the most infatuated, what is better than meeting the person you like, I am also a woman, I can naturally understand it!" ”

At this time, Princess Yunxuan had gradually let go of her defense, and continued: "That's right, it's still related to you!" ”

"Oh?"

"Remember when I asked you a question?"

"Naturally remembered"

"Even he has thought of the solution to the problem, and now he has gone to Pingzhou, I just hope that everything will go well here!"

"Don't worry, there is a princess who is worried, and anyone should come back well!"

"Why don't I recognize you as my sister, you are a little older than me, and I will call you Sister Ying in the future?"

"I can't ask for it, my princess sister!"

That night and two days later, King Xiang of Liang Guojing and Huangfu You of Xiliang both received news that the Xuanjia Army intended to recruit troops in Pingzhou.

The 30th year of the Liang calendar in the heavy snow has arrived, just one night of Kung Fu Xuancheng is like putting on a snow-white cotton jacket, the people of the capital began to nest the days of winter, only those wine shops and song shops are still open to attract customers, but the business is much worse than before.

The garden of Xiangwang's Mansion is also covered in silver, following the footprints on the flower path, accompanied by the rustling footsteps, Xiangwang is very comfortable to enjoy the annual snow scene. Recently, he is still in a good mood, and King Yu's recruitment has repeatedly hit a wall, and there is no progress; King Ling also died down and never made trouble for himself again; As for Emperor Liang's health, it seems that he has improved, although he still doesn't go to court much, he doesn't summon the prince much, and the harem is really in the hands of Concubine Jingjia. In the tug-of-war for the throne, he is still in a good position at present.

"Your Highness, there is faith."

King Xiang retracted his gaze to enjoy the scenery, and without looking back, he took the note handed by his subordinates, and wrote: Pingzhou, change. With just one glance, King Xiang threw the note into the furnace handed by his subordinates, and it turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

"Righteousness? Guts! It seemed to be talking to himself, but no one saw King Xiang's cruel eyes.

"Brother Xuanxian, don't you wait for this cold winter to pass before going?" The speaker is Jiang Weizhen, who has been the champion of the Beijing Examination High School since he is now a member of the Zhongshu Provincial Wailang, although he is only from the sixth grade, but he is already the highest rank of Shizi. At this time, he was in the cold moon fast, not at all the shabby appearance of the day, although the clothes were still plain, but he was wearing a blue and ink-colored robe and a plain hairband, which looked full of style.

"The recruitment deadline is approaching, if it is past the New Year, you will have to waste a lot of time, and you can't afford to delay!" Xuan Shaoning drank all the warm wine in one gulp, and his attitude was resolute.

"How many people are you?"

"One person"

"This ......"

"Brother Jiang, don't worry, I have martial arts, not to mention that the Beijing master can go to Pingzhou to get there in three days, it can be regarded as the scope of the capital, but there will be no danger."

"Then, you don't plan to say goodbye to your master?" It was Qi Wantong who said this, she was right, it has been nearly two years since she went down the mountain after completing her studies, and the Beijing Division is not far from Yanshan, but Xuan Shaoning has never stepped into Qingshan Academy, and her classmates all think that Xuan Shaoning is busy with official business, and at this time Qi Wantong mentioned it again to see how Xuan Shaoning reacted.

Sure enough, after Xuan Shaoning drank a glass of wine again, he got up and said, "I'll set off early tomorrow morning, time is pressing, let's go to visit the master on the day I return." Brother Jiang, Wantong, I'll take my leave first. ”

In the early morning of the next day, the snow stopped temporarily, and the entire Jingshi was still asleep, Xuan Shaoning packed up properly from the back door of Yuwang's Mansion, and quietly left the Jingshi with Yuyu. Yu Biao is the best at running among the five horses of Xiliang, since following Xuan Shaoning and others to defect to the Xuanjia Army, Yu Biao has been idle in the capital, speaking of which, Xuan Shaoning has not seen Yu Biao for more than a year. After Yan Keran heard that Xuan Shaoning had decided to go to Pingzhou alone, he specially gave him the jade biao.

"Yuyu, let's go!" Xuan Shaoning touched the horse's head, straightened his waist, clamped the horse's belly with his feet, and only heard a neigh, and the jade horse immediately scattered the horse's hooves, and immediately only a wisp of smoke and dust remained in place.

Two days before Xuan Shaoning arrived in Pingzhou, the large army of the Xuanjia Army had returned to Yecang City, and the army that returned triumphantly was warmly welcomed by the soldiers and civilians of Yecang City.

Huo Qing, the only one who did not participate in the battle this time, was also in the greeting team, trying to poke his head out of the crowd on tiptoe with excitement, and try his best to look in the direction of the large army. After looking at it for a while, I saw it: Shi Gong Zhengyuan, who was walking in front of the team, was dressed in military uniform, very mighty, and in the face of enthusiastic soldiers and civilians, he was still as plain as ever, and it was very rare to occasionally show a smile; Not far behind him were Duan Lang and Ling Scarlet Yan, who was dressed as a man, and the two of them were also full of spirit, constantly waving their hands to the crowd on both sides.

"Zhengyuan! Duan Lang! Scarlet face! Seeing his former classmates, Huo Qing was even more excited, and kept waving his hands, hoping that they could see him, "I'm here!" It's a pity that there are too many people, too noisy, no matter how Huo Qing calls, the three of them still didn't hear or see it, until the three of them completely disappeared into the crowd. Huo Qing, who put down his hands, was a little disappointed, his hands were also a little sore because of Fang Cai's vigorous waving, and when he was rubbing his shoulders, he heard the people around him say:

"I heard that this time to recover Yinzhou, there is one person who is the first hero!"

"I know, I know, it's that Xuan Shaoning!"

"But isn't it, I heard that he led the cold sword and a guard to charge into battle, and won the tiger's mouth in one fell swoop!"

"Not only that, but after that, he single-handedly took on the enemy army and contacted Annan to ambush the soldiers to rescue the general who was besieged by the Tang army!"

"Wow! So powerful? ”

"That's right, for this reason, the emperor promoted him to lieutenant, and the ones called Gong Zhengyuan and Duan Lang have been promoted to centurions!"

"Qingshan Academy is really full of talents!"

"That's it!"

"That's not all, it seems like there's a ....... who didn't do anything."

"Hey, be quiet!"

After speaking, a few people peeked in the direction where Huo Qing was, either disdainful or contemptuous, and quickly dispersed.

A conversation was all poured into Huo Qing's ears, he turned his back to those people, his fists gradually clenched, his shoulders trembled slightly, his face that had been smiling was already clouded, and his teeth squeaked.

This scene happened to be seen clearly by Yang Jing not far away.

"Daddy!"

"Scarlet is back!"

"Dad, have you heard of the Battle of Yinzhou?"

"Of course, Shao Ning, Zheng Yuan, and Duan Lang are all very brave!"

"Am I not heroic? Dad, you are not allowed to be partial! ”

"Haha, Dad knows your wishes, but you should also know that there are no women in the Xuanjia Army, you have made an exception, and you still want to be a female general?"

"If you haven't had it before, then start with me!"

"Yes, Uncle Ling, this time when he fought against the Tang Army in Yinzhou, Scarlet Yan was brave!" Duan Lang, who was following behind, praised with a smile, "If you don't believe it, you can still ask Zhengyuan!" ”

Everyone turned their eyes to Shi Gong Zhengyuan, and he still said calmly: "They are not exaggerating, they are indeed very Uncle Ling's demeanor, although a woman dressed as a man failed to obtain military merits." ”

Ling Tieying was very happy when he said this, and he held Ling Feiyan tightly with both hands, his eyes were full of love. And Ling Scarlet Yan will only show the tenderness of an ordinary woman in front of her father.

"Hey, Huo Qing!" Duan Lang's eyes were sharp and he shouted.

Huo Qing, who was a little lonely, happened to pass by Ling Tieying's tent, and when he heard Duan Lang calling himself, he hurriedly restrained his lost expression, and barely squeezed out a smile, "Hey, you're all back!" At the same time, he slowly walked in front of everyone.

Duan Langyi grabbed Huo Qing's shoulders and said with some confusion: "What's wrong?" You don't think you're happy to see us back, huh? ”

"Ah, no...... Nope! Finding that his emotions were discovered by Duan Lang, Huo Qing couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and began to worry that his jealousy would be discovered.

"Look at how reluctant you are, is something going on?" Ling Feiyan also saw Huo Qing's depressed mood.

"I ......"

"I guess I haven't seen us for too long, and I'm too excited for a while to know how to express it, right?" Duan Lang looked at Huo Qing and said, "In that case, why don't you invite us to a meal?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Huo Qing glanced at Duan Lang with a somewhat complicated expression, "Then let's be at the tea and wine shop in the town tonight, everyone come!" ”

"That's right!" Duan Lang slapped Huo Qing hard and smiled happily.
