Chapter 188: Brothers Snatch Marriage
Meng Buge was defeated and killed, the Beirong army collapsed at once, and the momentum of the Northern Liao army was like a rainbow, and the battle was one-sided. After the end of the war, the statistics showed that the Northern Liao Army and Beirong's prisoners of war captured 20,000 Beirong elite cavalry and 60,000 puppet troops.
Faced with such a result, Ji Qingchen was not happy at all.
Because, he knew that the battle of Ludao was not over yet, and as long as the army rushed out of Yanmen Pass with one blow and completely wiped out the nomadic people of Beirong, this was the real war.
And the generals around him are also high-spirited, and everyone takes the initiative to ask for help, preparing to go out of the customs to destroy Beirong.
However, at this time, Zhang Rang suddenly came to Liaozhou from King's Landing. After arriving in Liaozhou, Zhang Rang's face was very gloomy, and the first words he said to Ji Qingchen when he walked into the big tent shocked Ji Qingchen.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty is ready to ask Beirong to marry the princess for the eighth prince." Zhang Rang said, and he couldn't say the next sentence, because at this time he had already seen Ji Qingchen's face turn pale all of a sudden.
There are many princesses who have left the country, and there may not be many who are married, so it can only be Shu'er! Da Yan wants to ask the country to marry the princess, and let Ji Qian marry Shu'er?
This caught Ji Qingchen by surprise!
At the same time, it made him very angry!
And the generals in the big tent were stunned, everyone didn't follow Ji Qingchen for a long time, but they all lived and died together, they were Ji Qingchen's henchmen, and naturally understood some of Ji Qingchen's situation, that is, the emotions between him and the princess who left the country. But now Da Yan wants the Eighth Prince to marry Princess Anle?
Isn't this forcing brothers to turn against each other?
Who came up with this bad idea?
The generals in the big tent, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to say for a while.
"Anything else? You continue. Suddenly, at this time, Ji Qingchen said in a low voice.
"Your Royal Highness, this is Jiang Rou's conspiracy, because it wasn't until Wang You and Wang Wenhe's father and son wrote to His Majesty to ask for the princess to leave the country, and said that this is the meaning of the Empress Dowager Xiao who left the country, we know that this is an agreement between Jiang Rou and Wang You in the past few days, and the Cui family and the queen have also agreed, and now a mission has been sent to propose marriage." When Zhang Rang said this, he knelt in front of Ji Qingchen with a "plop" and said in a low voice, "Zhang Rang didn't do his duty, so Jiang Rou's conspiracy succeeded, please punish Your Highness!" β
"You go on." Ji Qingchen still asked calmly, his face was much better at this time, and his expression was not as gloomy as just now.
"The envoy sent by Dayan this time is Wang Wenhe, because this suggestion was made by their father and son, His Majesty promoted Wang Wenhe to be the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and let him be fully responsible for the marriage of the Eighth Prince." Zhang Rang continued, but at this time, his face had turned pale, because since he had followed Ji Qingchen until now, it was the first time he had seen Ji Qingchen behave so calmly in this big matter.
"Anything else?" Ji Qingchen continued to ask, and when he saw that Zhang Rang wanted to speak and stopped, he said coldly, "Finish speaking!" β
"No!" Zhang Rang said in a low voice and continued, "There are six hundred people in this mission, in addition to the financial resources and two hundred envoys, there are also four hundred forest horsemen as escorts, and Your Majesty attaches great importance to this marriage. β
"Before the slaves rushed back to Liaozhou, Wang Wenhe had already set off!" Zhang Rang saw that Ji Qingchen was silent, so he continued.
"All of you go down!" Ji Qingchen said lightly, "This king wants to rest for a while." β
"No!" The generals didn't know how to comfort Ji Qingchen, so they could only bow down and withdraw from the big tent. Suddenly, there were only two people left in the big tent, Ji Qingchen and Zhang Rang.
However, even if only Ji Qingchen and Zhang Rang were left in the big tent, Ji Qingchen didn't say a word to Zhang Rang, and Zhang Rang didn't dare to ask Ji Qingchen, so there was nothing but silence between the two.
After a long time, he saw Ji Qingchen leave his seat, he asked Zhang Rang to get up, and strode out of the big tent by himself.
It's just that as soon as he walked out of the big tent, he was stunned for a moment.
Because just in front of the big tent, there were only 500 people left, and the generals of the cavalry battalion stood quietly in front of the tent on horseback.
Seeing Ji Qingchen, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, under the leadership of the main general Li Changzheng, suddenly said loudly, "The Xiao Cavalry Battalion is waiting for His Highness's orders at any timeββ"
In an instant, Ji Qingchen understood the meaning of the Xiao Riding Camp, and he was moved.
However, he didn't say a word, but turned over and got on his horse and rushed out of the camp. Li Changzheng was Ji Qingchen's guard, and when he saw Ji Qingchen riding out of the big tent, he followed behind Ji Qingchen, but he didn't let the Xiao cavalry camp follow, but stayed in front of the big tent.
"Go back!" Seeing Li Changzheng coming with him, Ji Qingchen scolded.
"Your Highnessβ" Li Changzheng was about to speak, but Ji Qingchen said, "Get outβ"
"No!" Li Changzheng was helpless, so he could only watch Ji Qingchen disappear from his sight in a daze. And Ji Qingchen, who came out of the camp, galloped on horseback, and he ran for nearly half an hour in one breath before he reined in his horse and stopped on a small hillside.
Turning over and dismounting, he walked slowly up the hill.
One person, one horse, one knife, just standing quietly on the hillside!
His gaze moved to the western sky, and when he saw that the fiery red sun was struggling to burn himself, his thoughts returned to the scene when he had just left the country, and saw him off outside the capital:
"Brother Qingchen, I want to ride a horse again."
"Brother Qingchen, when I grow up, will you marry me?"
"Good! Shu'er, when your hair reaches your waist, I will marry you! β
"Shu'er, I promised you that I would take care of you for the rest of my life and not let you be wronged. However, today, because I really want to go back to Yanguo. Shu'er, I dreamed of my mother last night, and when I woke up, I found myself crying. It's been ten years, and I've been away from the country for ten years, and I still don't remember what my mother looks like. Shu'er, it's not that I don't dare to stay in the country, it's not that I don't want to marry you, I can't grow old with you, but I can't, because I'm afraid that after staying away from the country for a long time, I will forget who I am? will forget that he is still a man of Yan Kingdom, and he still has the bronze blood of a man of Yan Kingdom in his blood. β
"Brother Qingchen! I know the truth! You know all these things! Princess An Le said in a choked tone, "Brother Qingchen, as long as you live well, no matter what you do, Shu'er will not blame you." Shu'er will always remember what Brother Qingchen said. Even if Brother Qingchen returns to Yanguo, Shu'er will not forget Brother Qingchen, Shu'er believes that one day, Brother Qingchen will definitely get everything he wants! β
When Ji Qingchen's thoughts recalled this, his eyes were already moist unconsciously! Because he thought of the song "Guarding the Looks" outside the capital, he thought of Shu'er's dancing posture, and he thought of "There are geese in Beiling, and the feathers are like snow." The wind mourns, and the wings fly south. The wings are broken and the rain is unbearable. The wind is dignified, and it will never leave. In this poem, he thought of what he said to his war horse Xiying: Little white horse, you will be called Xiying in the future! You left your mother, and I left Shu'er. We will leave the country today and return to Dayan to conquer the world. Don't worry, as long as Ji Qingchen still has a breath of air, when we all become strong enough in the future, I will go north with you with the knife, and go to the capital city where I left the country to welcome Shu'er and your mother. Luckily?
All of this appeared in Ji Qingchen's mind one by one, like a memory, and like yesterday's time, which made Ji Qingchen a little trance. And when all this flashed through Ji Qingchen's mind, he realized that he owed Shu'er so much unconsciously. That's the sentence: When you have long hair and waist, can I marry you? He has not yet fulfilled his promises. Not only did it not come true, but his father also wanted to marry the woman he liked to his brother, even if everyone knew that he liked Shu'er, but he still had to marry her to his starling Ji Qian.
At this moment, Ji Qingchen suddenly became very weak, he sat slowly on the grass like a child, holding the wolf blade given to him by the teacher in his arms, and looked at the direction of Shangjing in a daze.
Motionless.
But he cried, secretly cried!
And the Shadow Warhorse stood behind him very well-behaved, like his companion, and like his patron saint.
One man and one horse sat on the grassland, and sat in the sunset until dark!
In the camp, the generals heard that Ji Qingchen rode out of the camp alone, and everyone was very worried. But everyone knows that Ji Qingchen has a temperament, as long as Ji Qingchen says that he doesn't let people follow him, he really doesn't want others to disturb him, so the generals are worried but they don't dare to go out to find him, so they can only wait quietly in the big tent.
At this moment, almost all the generals of the Northern Liao Army arrived, like Cheng Qianfan, the main general of the Long Xiang Cavalry, and the two deputy generals Bai Yang and Yuwen were injured; Like the black eagle rider general White Elephant, the deputy generals Liu Qingqing and Hou Xiaotian; like Fang Wanqi, the chief general of the infantry army, and Xiang Ziyu, the deputy general; Like the devil cavalry commander Xu Dachun, the dead soldier battalion captain Zuo Zongquan, the Beirong cavalry commander Huang Taiji, etc.
Everyone is anxiously waiting in the big tent!
Only the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion Commander Li Changzheng were still riding on horses, standing quietly in front of the big tent.
Suddenly, just when everyone was sitting a little impatient, Li Changzheng's voice came from outside the tent: "Ninth brother! - You're back! β
The generals in the big tent immediately greeted him, and found that Ji Qingchen had already ridden back to the camp.
"Brother Jiu, brothers have something to tell you." Seeing Ji Qingchen riding a horse to the front of the tent, Li Changzheng shouted loudly.
"Say it!" Ji Qingchen glanced at the generals standing outside the big tent, and said to Li Changzheng.
"Brother Jiu, it is God's decision for us to be born in Yan Kingdom, whether we live or die, we can choose." Li Changzheng said, "It was decided by God that we were born in Yan Kingdom, but it was our own choice to become soldiers of Yan Kingdom. β
"Brother Jiu, it was decided by God that we were born in Yan Kingdom, but it was my own decision to be brothers with Brother Jiu." Li Changzheng shouted loudly, "Today, Brother Jiu wants to kill his brothers, and his brothers will say such things." Brother Jiu, the lives of the brothers are sold to you, not to His Majesty! No matter who sits on the dragon chair in King's Landing, these brothers don't bother to care. Because the brothers don't recognize the dragon flag, the brothers only recognize the king flag of the ninth brother, and the brothers are only willing to follow the battle flag of the ninth brother to fight the world. But as long as Brother Jiu is willing, no matter who wants to marry the princess, the brothers will take it back for Brother Jiu even if they are dead! β
Quiet!
It's quiet!
It's very quiet!
Because everyone was shocked by Li Changzheng's words! What's the difference between that and rebellion? Even Ji Qingchen himself was shocked, he didn't expect Li Changzheng to say this.
However, just when everyone was stunned.
Suddenly, in the silent night sky, there was a roar from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion: Brother Jiu, it is God's decision that we are born in Yan Kingdom, whether we live or die, we can choose. It is God's decision that we were born in Yan Kingdom, but it is our own choice to become a soldier in Yan Kingdom. It was God's decision that we were born in the Yan Kingdom, but it was my own decision to be brothers with Brother Jiu. Today, Brother Jiu wants to kill his brothers, and the brothers will say such things. Brother Jiu, the lives of the brothers are sold to you, not to His Majesty! No matter who sits on the dragon chair in King's Landing, these brothers don't bother to care. Because the brothers don't recognize the dragon flag, the brothers only recognize the king flag of the ninth brother, and the brothers are only willing to follow the battle flag of the ninth brother to fight the world. But as long as the ninth brother is willing, no matter who wants to marry the princess who has left the country, the brothers will take it back for the ninth brother even if they are dead!
As long as the ninth brother is willing, no matter who wants to marry the princess who left the country, the brothers will take it back for the ninth brother even if they are dead!
β¦β¦
As long as the ninth brother is willing, no matter who wants to marry the princess who left the country, the brothers will take it back for the ninth brother even if they are dead!
β¦β¦
Although there were only 500 people left in the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, these 500 people shouted in unison and shouted the domineering words from the bottom of their hearts, but they spread all over the camp of more than 200,000 people at once.
And just when the generals were still shocked by the boldness and rebellion of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, suddenly there was an earth-shattering shout from the camp: As long as His Highness is willing, no matter who wants to marry the princess who has left the country, the brothers will be taken back for His Highness even if they are dead!
β¦β¦
As long as His Highness is willing, no matter who wants to marry the princess who has left the country, the brothers will take it back for His Highness even if they are dead!
β¦β¦
Wave after wave of shouting! Resounded in the heavens and the earth!
At this moment, Ji Qingchen's eyes on the horse were moist, and he was moved by the soldiers, because he found that he was not alone, because there were more than 200,000 brothers with him.
Riding on the horse, Ji Qingchen quietly watched the Xiaoqi camp, the camps of the armies in the camp had been in place for a long time, and he shouted loudly, "Order, the army will rest immediately, and go out of the customs early tomorrow morning!" β
He decisively gave the order to go out of the customs and destroy Beirong. Because he wants to give his brothers a great future.
