Chapter 209: Uninvited Guest
The battle situation in Anyang was as Wen Rongan expected.
At the end of this winter, the news came that King Yongning had died violently and that the rebel army had collapsed.
Hearing the news, the whole army was very excited, but Yan Ran fell into deep doubts.
In the previous life, King Yongning committed suicide after the defeat, but in this life he became a violent death, I don't know what happened in it.
Although everything is developing in an unknown direction, Yan Ran is a little apprehensive, but at the same time, she feels happy.
At least, my uncle's family is safe and sound, and the soldiers and civilians of Bac Ninh have not suffered as much losses as in their previous lives, and these changes are always good.
Just when life in Bac Ninh City gradually returned to calm, another bombshell news came.
"Overseeing the Imperial History?"
Yan Ran frowned, and an ominous premonition surged in her heart.
Wen Rongan nodded and said, "Well, I think it's because the Beining Army has not sent troops to quell the rebels, so the Holy Lord sent someone to investigate whether the Beining Army lied about the military situation." Because Yushi's trip was an unannounced visit, the matter was extremely confidential. If it weren't for the fact that Bac Ninh faced Mobei directly, in order to prevent the leakage of military secrets, a very tight and powerful intelligence network was built, but I am afraid that we would not have been able to know about this matter. So by the time we got the news, the Imperial Historian should have already entered the territory of Bac Ninh. ”
Yan Ran sneered: "I didn't expect that the Holy Lord would be so distrustful of Beining. ”
Wen Rongan said: "I'm afraid that this matter was also instigated by someone, although the imperial history is called a secret visit, in fact, it is for someone to subdue the hearts of the army." ”
Wen Rong'an's words made Yan Ran connect all the unreasonable points and figure out the whole story of this matter.
She couldn't help but hate: "Xiao Zun knew the importance of the Beining Army garrisoning the border, but he still sent troops to the Holy Lord. If the Bac Ninh army moves troops south, causing the loss of Bac Ninh, he will inevitably suffer the wrath and infamy of the saint at that time, and Xiao Zun can take the opportunity to intercede for the Bac Ninh army and win the gratitude of the Bac Ninh army. If the Beining army resists, it will also provoke Long Yan's anger, and Xiao Zun can still do this. For his own selfish desires, he actually used those conspiracies and calculations in the court here, disregarding the safety of his family and the people, selfish and short-sighted, and not worthy of being a king at all! ”
In the previous life, the Beining Army chose to transfer troops to the south, and then at the cost of heavy casualties, barely resisted the invasion of the enemy army and defended the homeland of the people of Shengguo.
In this life, under the intervention of Wen Rongan and Yan Ran, although a vicious battle was avoided, he still could not escape Xiao Zun's calculations, how could it not be infuriating.
Saying that, Yan Ran became worried again: "Since Xiao Zun is a hindrance from it, the imperial history who came back this time should also be his person, right?" I wonder who it will be, will it recognize us? ”
Yan Ran is not afraid of being recognized, nor is she afraid that the news that she is still alive will be transmitted back to Anyang.
It's just that in this way, she has to advance all her plans and return to Anyang immediately.
However, since coming to Bac Ninh, everything has been complicated, first the king of Yongning rebelled, then the declaration of war by the large and small Yue countries, and then the outbreak of the plague.
Yan Ran and Wen Rong'an, one was busy treating the plague, the other was busy repelling the enemy army, and the matter of conditioning Wen Rong'an's body was temporarily put on hold.
Now, everything is calm, and the most important thing at the moment is to recuperate Wen Rong'an, and it is not yet time to return to Anyang.
Wen Rong'an held Yan Ran's hand and said with relief: "Don't worry, I have already discussed it with my uncle, since the purpose of Yushi's trip is not pure, Beining naturally can't let it be manipulated." The gates have been heavily guarded, and whoever enters the city will be taken. ”
Yan Ran nodded, but she always felt faintly uneasy in her heart.
Three days later, the inspector Yushi, who came to Bac Ninh for an unannounced visit, entered the city, and as soon as he entered the city gate, he was taken down by the soldiers guarding the city gate and escorted to the army camp.
Yan Ran was studying medical science with Mo Sui in the pharmacy, and Qingxuan suddenly broke in, panting and said, "Girl, hurry, go, Daying, Han, Han ......"
Yan Ran was puzzled: "What are you shouting?" ”
Qingxuan ran out of breath, and couldn't even finish her words, so she simply stopped narrating, and directly pulled Yan Ran and walked out.
Yan Ran followed Qingxuan all the way to the military camp, and when she walked in the door, she saw a man chattering beside Wen Rongan.
Yan Ran looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Han Xi? How are you? ”
When Han Xi heard Yan Ran's voice, he turned around, his face was still bruised and swollen, and he said happily: "I know, how can you two people die so easily!" ”
“……”
Yan Ran was speechless, Han Xi didn't seem to be wrong in what he said, but why was he so dissatisfied?
Yan Ran looked at the bruises on Han Xi's face and said to Qingxuan, "Bring my medicine box." ”
Qingxuan hurried out again and turned back to the pharmacy.
Yan Ran walked up to Han Xi and asked, "Are you the one who oversees the imperial history?" ”
Han Xi nodded hurriedly, feeling the aftermath of the catastrophe: "I thought that I would die in Beining on this trip, but I didn't expect to meet the two of you, it's really good!" ”
Yan Ran was puzzled and asked, "How do you say this?" Also, you are a master of the academy, you are not good at teaching, why did you come to do the imperial history? ”
Facing Yan Ran's series of questions, Han Xi sighed and said slowly.
"You don't know that after you left Anyang, the situation in Anyang has changed a lot. Since the rebellion of King Yongning, the two princes have repeatedly offered strange schemes, and they have won the respect and reliance of the saints. On the other hand, the prince not only made no achievements, but also did two errands wrong one after another, which made the saint disgusted. Now, the second prince is in the limelight, and he wants to win over my father, but my father ......"
Yan Ran interrupted Han Xi's words and asked, "Your father?" ”
Wen Rongan explained from the side: "Han Xiang. ”
It turned out that Han Xi was the illegitimate son of Han Xiang, and he had been living in Qizhou with his mother when he was a child, so he had a relationship with Xu Fuzi, who was born in Qizhou.
Later, Xu Fuzi went to Anyang to teach, and Han Xi followed her all the way.
And Han Xiang helped Wen Rong'an, also because of Han Xi.
However, at that time, Yan Ran thought that Han Xiang had a friendship with General Wen, so he took more care of Wen Rong'an, and because many things happened one after another, he did not explore.
But I never thought that there was such an inside story in this.
Yan Ran smoothed out her train of thought and motioned for Han Xi to continue.
Han Xi said again: "My father is upright and does not want to form a party for personal gain. He can't be used by the second prince, and the second prince naturally wants to think of pulling him off the horse and replacing him with his person. So, the second prince made a proposal to the saint to ask my eldest brother to go to Bac Ninh for an unannounced visit under the pretext of investigating whether the military situation in Bac Ninh was true. But my father is just my eldest brother's son-in-law, if there is any accident on the road, or if it is unknown to die in Bac Ninh, won't the Han family's descendants be extinct? So, I took the initiative to stand up to the thunder. ”
Han Xi did not live with his father and brother when he was a child, because of the love and hatred between his mother and Han Xiang, but Han Xiang and his brother were very good to him.
Now that his family is in trouble, as a member of the Han family, he naturally has an unshirkable responsibility, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Beining for an unannounced visit instead of his eldest brother.
After all, Xiao Zun didn't expect that Han Xiang not only had a son, but also an illegitimate son who had not been included in the family tree.
Yan Ran asked, "If Xiao Zun wants to deal with Han Xiang and set up an ambush to assassinate your eldest brother on the road, it is very likely." But why do you think it is difficult to save your life when you come to Bac Ninh? ”
Han Xi said: "Regardless of whether the Beining Army resists the decree or not, the secret visit of the imperial history is a great threat, and the Beining army can get rid of the imperial history without doing anything." Bac Ninh is a border city, and Anyang is beyond the reach of the whip, so what can it do then? This was the idea that the second prince fought at the beginning, and asked my eldest brother to send him to death, so as to hit my father! ”
Han Xi said, pointing to the wound on his face, and exaggerated: "Just look at my face, I just entered the city, and I haven't done anything, I've been beaten so much that I don't even know my mother!" ”
Yan Ran originally thought that Xiao Zun's move was to subdue the heart of the Beining army, and he would inevitably send his henchmen there.
Unexpectedly, he was trying to deal with Han Xiang, so he came to Han Xi by mistake, which dispelled her concerns.
As she spoke, Qing Xuan had already taken the medicine box.
Yan Ran treated Han Xi's injuries, and Han Xi kept shouting in pain.
Yan Ran couldn't help but say with disgust: "This little injury is also worth shouting at, no wonder Master Xu doesn't look down on you!" ”
Yan Ran is the best at pinching people's seven inches, and a word made Han Xiyan stop drumming, and he endured the pain without saying a word.
After treating the wound, Han Xi regained his vitality: "I will immediately repair a letter and send it to Anyang to correct the name of the Beining Army!" ”
Wen Rongan shook his head and said: "This matter is not in a hurry, you have just come to Beining, and the results of such a quick investigation are suspicious." You've had a hard time, so it's better to have a good rest. ”
Han Xi couldn't hide his excitement: "I'm not tired at all, I heard that the atmosphere in Beining is very different from Anyang, and I still want to go out for a walk!" ”
After coming to Bac Ninh for such a long time, Yan Ran has been immersed in studying medicine and pharmacy, and has never seen the scenery of Bac Ninh well.
So, she also said to Wen Rong'an: "Cousin, I heard that tomorrow is the Prayer Festival in Bac Ninh, and the city will be very lively, let's go and see it!" ”
Wen Rongan originally wanted to refuse Han Xi, but when he heard Yan Ran say so, he readily agreed: "Okay." ”
Pray for peace festival is a unique festival in Bac Ninh, because Bac Ninh has been facing war all year round, so such a festival was created to praise the bravery of the Bac Ninh army to protect the country and the people, and pray that there will be no more troubled times, and everyone will be safe and smooth.
Yan Ran went out this time, and the team was very strong.
She brought Qingxuan, Xian Luo and others, Dumb and Zhang Yunshu naturally followed her, and she pushed Mo Sui out for Jiang Siwan.
In order to avoid accidents, Wen Rongan asked Zhang Yunzong to bring a team of government soldiers to protect the safety of the female dependents.
The people of Bac Ninh are open, even if Yan Ran is not dressed as a woman and walks hand in hand with Wen Rong'an, no one will say anything.
"Wow, that's wonderful!"
Yan Ran stopped in front of a juggling stall, only to see one of them suddenly spew out a fireball, which was very dazzling.
"Be careful!"
Wen Rongan was afraid that Yan Ran would be injured, so he took her into his arms.
Yan Ran leaned on Wen Rong'an's arm, feeling his heartbeat and body temperature, and raised her eyes to look at him.
The four eyes are facing each other, and the affection is lingering.
The accident happened suddenly, and I saw a few arrows shot out of nowhere, which disappeared into the crowd, and someone fell to the ground after being hit by the arrow.
Everyone was in an uproar, running in all directions, and scattering Yan Ran and his party.
Wen Rongan held Yan Ran's dead hoop in his arms and looked around vigilantly.
"Cousin, beware!"
Yan Ran watched an arrow shoot straight at Wen Rong'an, and wanted to push him away, but it was too late.
"Ahh
At this time, Wang Lingxuan suddenly rushed out of the crowd, stood in front of Wen Rongan, blocked the arrow, and fell to the ground.
