Since playing two games of chess with Xu Huan, Yan Ling has been running to the main courtyard every day as if he was looking for a chess friend.

Xu Huan is still recuperating, but he is very welcome to go, the old and the young talk every day, which is very enjoyable.

As a result, Yan Ergongzi completely forgot about going to Yongcheng, as if he had gone out to play this time, and he was very happy to be a guest.

After getting up early and practicing the sword, Yan Ling returned to the house sweating profusely.

"The weather in Nanyuan is too hot, and after practicing for so long, I am all sweating." He wiped his sweat and muttered complaints.

"Childe, go wash it, the water is ready." Yan Ji came out of the inner room.

Yan Ling agreed, walked all the way and took off, the young and toned body was soon completely naked, and his long legs stepped into the bathtub.

Yan Ji followed him to pick up his clothes, sighing as he picked them up.

"Sigh what? Come and wash my hair! ”

Yan Ji asked strangely, "Didn't you wash it yesterday?" Why do you have to wash it today? ”

Yan Ling was confident: "It is said that the weather in Nanyuan is hot, and the body is full of sweat, can the head be clean?" If you don't wash it, it's all the smell of sweat, how can you see people? ”

Yan Ji understood: "I don't want to leave a bad impression on Lord Xu, right?" ”

If you want to marry Miss Xu San, you have to please her father, this idea is right!

Yan Ji figured this out and was very supportive. As long as you don't have to go to Yongcheng to die, what is it to ask him to wash his hair?

So he washed and scrubbed very hard......

Yan Ling, who was pulled, shouted: "You tap! ”

Yan Ji was aggrieved: "Isn't it good to wash it a little clean?" ”

Yan Ling said: "Is that what you call washing?" Your scalp is ripping! ”

The master and servant were noisy, and finally washed up and looked new, and went to Xu Huan to play chess.

But this time they were stopped.

Wei Jun looked polite and said, "My lord has something to do today, so I won't entertain Yan Ergongzi." ”

Yan Ling watched the officials go in and out, feeling a little unusual, but if he asked directly, Wei Jun would definitely not say, so he said, "Then I'll wait here, Lord Xu will always be busy, right?" ”

Then he walked to Baoxia by himself.

"Hey!" Wei Jun stopped him again, "The adults are really not free today, Yan Er Gongzi will come back another day!" ”

How could Yan Ling listen to him, if he left obediently, wouldn't he not be able to hear the slightest news? Immediately, he quickly bypassed him and said to himself, "How do you know if you don't wait?" Maybe the adults will get things done in a while? You don't have to worry about me, just give me a pot of tea. ”

Yan Ji immediately took over smartly: "Childe, I'll go make tea." Then he went as fast as he could.

Yan Ling had already sat down, looked up at him, and looked sincere: "Since there are a lot of things, you don't have to worry about me, get busy!" ”

He's like this, how can he stop it? Wei Jun sighed silently, and went out to whisper to the guards: "Keep an eye on it, don't let Yan Er Gongzi walk around." ”

Although Yan Ling didn't hear what he said, he saw this posture.

Yan Ji came back with tea and asked in a low voice, "Childe, what are they doing here?" Is something big happening? ”

Yan Ling drank tea, stared at the outside, and whispered: "There must be something big." The one just now was clearly a herald, and he was summoned in person. ”

"Hey, Miss Xu San is here!" Yan Ji excitedly pointed to Xu Yin, who had just come in.

Yan Ling scolded: "Don't make noise. ”

He stared at Xu Yin, her expression was as usual, and her steps were not flustered, the situation should not be so bad? But I can't say, he has known each other for so long, he has never seen Miss Xu San flustered, and he took someone to arrest the bandits in the middle of the night, and he was calm.

Xu Yin didn't notice that there was anyone here, and walked into the house quickly, and saw his father surrounded by Ji Jing and others.

"Father."

Xu Huan saw her and beckoned: "Ah Yin, come." ”

Xu Yin walked over, and a place had been prepared for her here, a little further back next to her father, where she could audit.

Ji Jing and the others looked at her as usual.

"What's going on?" She asked.

Xu Huan glanced at it, and Ji Jing replied: "Back to the third miss, Wu Zijing suddenly sent troops to seize Yongcheng. ”

Xu Yin looked surprised: "So fast? "In my previous life, it would take a few months!

Everyone's faces were as heavy, and Jin Lu said: "It's really fast, we all thought that he would send troops at the end of the year at the earliest." ”

Great Liang was originally a Tibetan land, Gaozu had borrowed soldiers from them when he conquered the world, and later the Great Zhou Dynasty established the country, Gaozu reciprocated the peach and named the leader of his tribe as the king of Liang.

This Wu Zijing was born in the Central Plains, has been in the army for generations, and was also a good general. But later he was framed and fled to Daliang.

The world has been in turmoil for a long time, and no one cares about whether the generals will flee or not, the Son of Heaven is weak, and Da Liang has not listened to the emperor's orders for a long time, so Wu Zijing has become Marshal Da Liang.

But this Wu Zijing is not a grateful person, seeing the fierce internal power struggle in Da Liang, he actually took the opportunity to seize the throne of Da Liang.

He is not a Da Liang person, and he won the throne by mutiny, those Tibetan people are very fierce, how can they obey him? Therefore, everyone thought that it would take him some time to suppress the internal rebellion before he could free up his hands to annex other places.

Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, he actually sent troops.

Yongcheng was taken away, then Nanyuan was in danger, no wonder her father suddenly summoned her, this is a major matter related to life and death.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yin understood, and said: "It's not surprising, Da Liang is in turmoil, so he is in a hurry to send troops." A large army can fight and seize profits everywhere, and it can suppress internal contradictions. ”

Xu Huan nodded with satisfaction: "That's the truth." But in doing so, as soon as you encounter a setback, it will collapse completely. ”

Xu Yin asked, "Father, what should we do then?" With Nanyuan's soldiers and horses, is it difficult to hold? ”

"Yes." Xu Huan didn't hide it from her, "For my father, I originally thought about sending a messenger to Dongjiang or Guanzhong to see if I could ask the king of Dongjiang and the Duke of Zhaoguo to help, but I didn't expect Wu Zijing to move so quickly." ”

Xu Yin quickly weighed it in his heart. If Wu Zijing hasn't fought yet, then he can negotiate the conditions well. Now that the fight is about to start, Nanyuan has no qualifications to put forward conditions, and the initiative is completely in the hands of others.

It's a real challenge.

"Of course, our Nanyuan is not Yongcheng, and he may not be able to take it if he wants to." Xu Huan said confidently, "For my father's estimate, it is not a problem to keep three or five months." ”

Even so, it is still necessary to find rescuers.

As soon as Xu Yin hit Yan Ling with his idea, another herald came outside.

"My lord! Yongcheng has a letter! It was sent by Wu Zijing himself! ”

Hey? Is it a declaration of war?

Xu Huan took a look at it, and his face became strange.

"Father? What's wrong? ”

Xu Huan handed her the letter with a strange expression: "Wu Zijing did not declare war, but made an invitation to invite his father to Yongcheng to attend the meeting. ”

Xu Yin read it three or two times, and sure enough, it was an invitation letter. Wu Zijing spoke quite politely, and it was not their family that was invited, but several nearby state capitals.

"This is the Hongmen Banquet, right?"
