Chapter XI
Instead of spending it here in vain, it is better to learn some real skills, how can the daughter of General Ling be defeated by an ancient document, Ling Yueyan immediately returned to the room and picked up the secret book of Ning Kong Step, and now when he looked closely, he found that many of the jerky and difficult places were marked, and he thought that it was written by someone who had read it before.
Ling Yueyan moved the low wooden table in the room outside, picked up the books in the room, and read it carefully, this look is four months.
As early as the third day of Ling Yueyan's mountain, the court elected the eldest prince to temporarily manage the government.
But the tyranny of the great prince made Chao Jiaguo lose several important ministers who opposed him one after another after Li Shangshu, and the prime minister who originally supported the eldest prince suddenly turned against him, and made a plea of guilt, complaining bitterly that he should not help the abuse.
After four months of undercurrents, it finally broke out today, and a group of soldiers led by General Ling Xiao to support the second prince gathered in the right capital, without a sword or sword, only stating that according to the will of the first emperor, Cao Guifei would be buried with him, and the queen would come forward to negotiate all matters.
"Your brother has spent a lot of effort this time, hundreds of generals, and countless cavalry have surrounded the entire Youjing City without leaking." Xie Ji lay on his back on the couch and looked at Ling Yueyan who was writing seriously in front of him.
Four months have passed, although Guling Peak is a good place, but all day long, Ling Yueyan's skin is not as fair as when he first came, but it is not dark, but it looks more heroic, and it has become more and more like a general's daughter.
"The first emperor died suddenly, where did the will come from for Cao Guifei to accompany the funeral, and the eldest prince can get the temporary position of managing the government just because Cao Guifei is behind him." Ling Yueyan said lightly, and the last stroke of his hand was completed, with extremely beautiful hairpin small characters.
Xie Ji propped up half of his body and glanced at it, it was the word 'politics'.
"You can see it better than some courtiers, those officials who are wart and carbuncles are afraid that the eldest prince will fall, and they hold on tightly to this life-saving tree, but they don't know that as long as there is no Cao Guifei, the eldest prince will be a waste." Xie Ji said.
In the past few months, several senior brothers have often come to accompany her and help her practice condensing empty steps, Xie Ji is particularly diligent, and sometimes he will bring sweet ball soup made in a small box, and this time it will slowly become ripe, and the two often talk about Chaoli without scruples.
Ling Yueyan also wanted to know about the affairs of Jingzhong, after all, she hadn't seen Brother Ye Zheng for so long, and it was good to hear some news, she picked up the paper whose handwriting had not yet dried, and pointed it at the wind, when she stood up, Xie Ji looked at Ling Yueyan's waist, and the jade belt hook on the waist seal was used by men.
Xie Ji got up and walked to Ling Yueyan's side, bowed forward, half of his face was about to be attached to Ling Yueyan's face, Ling Yueyan opened a little sideways, half tilted his head and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
The corners of Xie Ji's mouth hooked, and her left hand quietly stretched out to Ling Yueyan's waist, Ling Yueyan felt that her waist was loosened, and her clothes slipped off, she didn't care about the words in her hand, and hurriedly grabbed her coat, and found that Xie Ji had taken the jade belt hook away.
Ling Yueyan's eyes were angry: "Give it back to me!" ”
Xie Ji took the jade belt hook and observed it carefully, and asked, "Senior brother has never asked senior sister why he is so obsessed with this third prince. ”
Ling Yueyan closed his coat neatly, and pretended to be serious: "This is an unspeakable thing, you give me back the things first and then tell you." ”
Seeing her so serious, Xie Ji really thought there was some story, and as soon as he handed the jade belt hook to her, he heard Ling Yueyan laugh and said, "Why else, because of handsomeness!" ”
I think that when the third prince went to the frontier for the first time, when he returned to the city with his brother, thousands of women gathered at the gate of the city, surrounding the road and blocking it, all wanting to see his true face, such a handsome appearance, only she Ling Yueyan was worthy of it.
Xie Ji couldn't stand Ling Yueyan's heart-warming expression, turned around and left, "Hurry up and practice well." ”
Ling Yueyan sneered, hurriedly picked up the paper with the word "Zheng" written on the ground, put it on the stone couch, and after sitting down, he picked up the secret book of Ningkong Step, and there was another piece of paper pressed under the secret book, and the paper was also a beautiful hairpin in small characters, writing: Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures.
It was a poem from the Far Cypriot country north of the Yellow Sands, full of manly ambitions, which she had seen in the frontier of her brother's room when she was very young, not in her brother's handwriting.
Ling Yueyan only took four months to read the entire text of Ning Kong Step by heart, and he was already able to roughly use its method, which was a great progress, and I believe that it would not be long before he could cross the bridge smoothly.
After another month, Xie Ji came to tell her about the right capital as usual, and brought a letter from her brother, who was sent to guard the frontier at the age of twelve, and came back at most twice a year.
She didn't say anything in the letter, just a few words of concern and reproach, she was used to it, Ling Xian was only six years older than her, but sometimes she was older than her father when she spoke and acted.
However, there was a sentence in it that caught her attention, Ling Xian said that within a month, everything could be decided.
Xie Jiyan sacrificed Cao Guifei in order to keep his position, and personally sent Cao Guifei into the imperial mausoleum, this move was undoubtedly digging his own grave, I don't know if it was the reason for being the same woman, Ling Yueyan actually felt a little sad for Cao Guifei.
Thinking of Concubine Hu, the mother of the five princes and the sixth princess, in order to survive, she did not hesitate to let the little palace maid go to ask her for protection in the general's mansion late at night, Cao Guifei has been favored for many years, and her power in the court is deeply rooted, and only the eldest prince personally sent her to the funeral can make everyone keep silent, but being treated like this by her own son, I don't know how sad Cao Guifei's state of mind was before entering the imperial mausoleum.
After Xie Ji left, Ling Yueyan put down the letter and began to panic, if what his brother said was true, the second prince would become the new emperor in another month, then Brother Ye Zheng would naturally be the third prince, and Brother Ye Zheng would be crowned in half a year, and the mourning period of the first emperor had also passed, so after everything was decided, shouldn't we discuss the marriage.
Can she not be in a hurry? Brother Ye Zheng was born to attract bees and butterflies, and when his brother becomes the emperor, won't more people want to marry him?
Ling Yueyan looked at the wooden bridge that was swaying by the wind on the opposite side, he had been familiar with it for four months, and he had practiced for another month, no matter what, he had to try it, and he must catch up with the second prince to ascend the throne.
On this day, Alan came to deliver food, and Ling Yue Yan asked casually, "Did Master say that he wanted to come recently?" ”
The master said that her basic skills were not solid, and she had to force her to practice basic skills.
There are also a few female soldiers in my father's army, Chao Jiaguo does not discriminate against women as soldiers, but she has seen those female soldiers, with rough skin and strong body, if she really practices like that, let alone marry Brother Ye Zheng, I am afraid that no one in the right capital will dare to marry.
But after a few months of practice, there is no major change in the body shape, but the appetite has become better, and the flesh on the body is a little stronger, which does not affect the appearance.
"The old man has been coughing badly recently, and the senior brother has invited a famous doctor from Beijing to come, and he won't come over for the time being." Alain said, placing the food on the table.
Ling Yueyan said worriedly, "Is Master very sick?" She asked while quietly putting a bowl of dumplings into the food box, although Alan is young, but his cooking skills are one top and one good, but this dumpling is called unpalatable.
Alan shook her head, she usually doesn't go to her master's residence except for delivering food, and she also leaves it outside to deliver food, so she doesn't know if it's serious.
"I heard that the third senior brother will come back recently, there are no major events in the villa, and the third senior brother will not go up the mountain, I think it should be serious." After speaking, Alan walked into Ling Yueyan's room, packed up some dirty clothes, and turned to leave.
Third Senior Brother? It's been five months since I've been here, except for the spruce accident, she has seen the senior brother, the second senior brother and the fourth senior brother, but the third senior brother and the fifth senior sister, she hasn't seen it yet, and she has some expectations in her heart.
Alan said that Master's illness may be very serious, so the senior brothers should not come over recently, so she can take this opportunity to quietly try to see if she can cross the bridge, so as not to be ridiculed when she gets there.
After eating a full meal, Ling Yueyan picked up the rope prepared in advance, walked to the wooden bridge, and tied the rope firmly to the bridge and his waist, the weather is very good today, the sun is shining in the north, it is a day suitable for adventure.
She stood at the head of the bridge and took a few deep breaths, then slowly opened her hands, squatted slightly, and used the power of the lower plate to lightly step on the ground under her feet, and then shook a few dead leaves, and then rose slightly with the technique of light skill, Ling Yueyan tentatively stepped out.
Seems to have worked! She plucked up her courage and walked to the first plank of the wooden bridge, the wooden bridge was shaking slightly, she held her breath and slowly stabilized herself, taking the second step, the third step...
At this time, he had walked to the middle of the wooden bridge, swaying more and more, suddenly dark clouds covered the sun, and a strong wind blew, Ling Yueyan was distracted and did not stand firm, and stepped on the air.
The whole person fell down rapidly, Ling Yueyan was a little panicked, her hands were scratching in the air, this was the first time she had this feeling of being on the verge of death, fortunately, the rope tied to the bridge was tight enough, she hit the cliff hard, screamed in pain, and the tingling pain in her waist was strong, it was very likely that she had hit some sharp stone.
Endured the pain and jumped hard, she has made great progress in light skills recently, and there is no problem at all to fly up at this height, but suddenly something fell from her waist, Ling Yueyan looked down, and it turned out that the jade belt hook on her waist was loosened by the collision just now.
This was stolen by her at the royal banquet while Brother Ye Zheng was taking a nap in the room, she had been carrying it with her all these years, but she couldn't lose it, she turned over and fell, her hands tried her best to stretch to the longest, fortunately, she reacted quickly and grabbed the silk thread on the jade belt hook.
Ling Yueyan closed her eyes and protected the jade belt hook on her chest, ready to meet another impact, when suddenly the rope tied to her waist loosened, she was shocked, the impact of the fall just now was too great, and the rope was rushed away!
It's over, is it really going to die today?
