Chapter Seventy-Eight: Nan Yuan's Expedition
Su Yu Nian hastily ate a bite of breakfast, then packed up and went to the city gate.
Nan Yuan was already waiting at the gate of the city, and the ceremony before the expedition had not yet begun, Nan Yuan and Lan Yuyang stood in the crowd and didn't know what they were talking about, but they could see that their faces were solemn.
"Is everything arranged?" Nan Yuan was serious and serious.
"It's all arranged, don't worry. There is no problem with grain and grass. β
Nan Yuan nodded, and in the afterglow, he saw Su Yunian standing in the crowd, with a thin figure. A frown furrowed slightly as he walked over to her. "Why did you come out with so little wear? so bad, how can you let me leave with peace of mind?"
As soon as the words fell, Nan Yuan raised his head and saw Su Yu Nian's eyes slightly red, and he suddenly felt helpless, and hurriedly comforted: "What's the matter, Nian Nian? Is what I said too heavy? I didn't blame you, it's me who is not good, I'm just worried about you, don't cry, okay." β
Su Yunian stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Nan Yuan's waist and buried his head in his chest. "Nanyuan, you promised me that I would come back safely, and I must not be injured!"
Of course, Nan Yuan knew her worries, and rubbed Su Yu Nian's hair with his wide palm. "Well, I promised you. But you also have to promise me that you must wait for me to come back, and I will write to you often, and you will write back to me. Don't be blinded by other men. β
Su Yunian nodded sullenly. "I know, you can go without worry. You don't have to worry about things in the capital, I will take care of it, and I will often visit the queen.
But you are only one person on the battlefield, so be sure to protect yourself. Don't make your own decisions when you encounter something, discuss it with Lan Yuyang and them. The temperature difference between day and night in Northern Qi is large, you must cover the quilt and don't get sick. There are also Northern Qi people who are scheming and brave and good at fighting, you must be careful. β
Nan Yuan listened to Su Yu Nian's words into his ears, and memorized them word by word in his heart. He knew that Su Yunian was hiding his inner uneasiness with worry, and a trace of guilt rose in his heart, now that the situation in the court was unclear, he finally had an advantage, but he had to stay away from the capital, leaving Su Yunian to face the dangerous imperial city by himself, and he was calculating with those people.
"His Royal Highness the Prince. "The guards behind him came to summon Nanyuan, and the departure ceremony was about to begin.
"Okay, I got it. Tell General Lan that I'll go over. Nan Yuan commanded the guards behind him in a deep voice.
The guards quietly retreated.
"Niannian, I'm leaving, and I'm going to write to me often. Nan Yuan sniffed and kissed the top of Su Yu Nian's hair, and made up his mind to turn around and leave.
On the sixteenth day of the first month, Nan Yuan, the prince of Tianyuan Kingdom, and General Lan Xiao led an army of 500,000 troops to Northern Qi.
The 500,000 Tianyuan soldiers were all in wrought iron armor, holding spears, standing neatly at the gate of the city, with a sky-high momentum and solemnity. Before he set out to conquer the Northern Qi Dynasty, there was such a momentum, which caused many young people to boil their blood and a sense of pride.
Prince Nanyuan and Lan Yuyang were wearing Tianyuan robes, and they were riding sweaty and bloody horses at the front of the team under their crotches, dazzling.
On the other side of the city gate, a sacrificial ceremony was being held before the expedition, Nan Yuan stepped forward and sprinkled the blood of the three animals on the military flag, calm and calm, and behaved moderately, the prince of a country deserved! There was not much pride and pride in the eyes of the queen mother, but there was a deep worry.
After the sacrifice was over, Nan Yuan returned to his horse, and Emperor Tian Yuan looked at the Tian Yuan elites in front of him and said loudly. "Northern Qi deceived me Tianyuan no one, invaded my frontier, and stabbed the royal family. On this trip, we will drive the people of the Northern Qi out of Tianyuan and help our country prestige. When you return triumphantly, I will personally celebrate your achievements!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" 500,000 soldiers shouted in unison, and their voices resounded through the sky and stirred people's hearts.
"The auspicious time has comeβ"
"Let's go!" Nan Yuan raised his sword high, and with an order, 500,000 soldiers rushed to the battlefield with a mission.
Su Yu Nian looked at Nan Yuan's distant back, and the tears she held back finally slipped down, but she wiped them clean with her hand. No, she can't cry, he can't let Nan Yuan worry about himself. Nanyuan, I'll wait for you to come back!
Nan Yuan could feel the burning gaze behind him, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was Su Yunian, but he couldn't turn back, he could only pretend to be light-hearted. But what he didn't know was that the knuckles of his hand that were clenching the reins had turned white, not that he didn't want to turn back, he didn't dare!
She was afraid to see Su Yunian's reddened eyes, and even more afraid to see her tears. Niannian, you must wait for me to come back!
Lan Yuyang saw Nanyuan's white bone joints, and knew that he must be uncomfortable at this time, not because he didn't want to turn back, but because he couldn't bear it, he was afraid that he would never want to leave again after this glance.
The army went farther and farther, and gradually only the dust could be seen along the way. Emperor Tianyuan ordered the hundred officials to disperse, and it will not be early today. Su Yunian saw that the queen's body was a little weak, so he walked over to assist the queen. "Niangniang, I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come back safely, you must take care of your body, you must not fall, otherwise, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be distracted. β
The queen mother is really more and more satisfied with Su Yunian. Although the queen's eyes were red, there was no shortage of dignity at all, and she patted Su Yunian's hand. "Good boy, this palace knows that you must not feel good in your heart, I'm fine, you can do whatever you want, and if something happens, this palace will carry it for you. But you have to come to the palace often to talk to the palace. β
"Don't worry, Queen. The folk girl will definitely take good care of the things that belong to the prince in the city, and wait for the prince to come back with peace of mind. Su Yunian had a thick nasal voice, and his tone was soft but extremely firm.
The Empress Mother nodded with satisfaction and left behind Emperor Tianyuan.
Su Yu Nian watched the queen mother leave, and then got into the carriage of the Su Mansion. I was always looking forward to something in my heart, hoping that Nan Yuan would appear in front of me in the next second as before.
Nanyue had noticed Su Yunian from the beginning, his thin but straight body looked very helpless in the wind. He even wanted to step forward and take Su Yunian into his arms to shelter him from the wind and rain. Nan Yue didn't understand why he had such thoughts, did he like Su Yu Nian? But the feeling is familiar.
In the Northern Qi military camp.
"I heard that it was Nan Yuan, the crown prince of the Tianyuan Kingdom, who led the troops this time, do you have any suggestions?"
"Your Highness, the Tianyuan Kingdom has already sent troops, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not have any actual combat experience, and it is estimated that it is only on paper, so there is nothing to worry about. Deputy General Jiang Chen disagreed, it was estimated that he was another straw bag, arrogant and self-righteous.
