Chapter 126: Gao Ling, the princess of Gao Canguo

An An is like a guest in Gao Canguo, leisurely and comfortable. Except that he can't leave the Proton Palace at will, his life is more comfortable than in the military camp. This Gao Chan lord is still quite sensible.

However, such days are estimated to not be able to continue for a few more days, and when my father received the news that he was captured, he didn't know how many cities he was willing to exchange.

He Shengnan saw that he looked confident, and asked strangely: "Little prince, aren't you afraid that the emperor is unwilling to exchange the city for you?" ”

An An said: "Even if my father abandons me, the lord of Gaocan will not execute me easily." ”

He Shengnan didn't understand political matters, and asked, "Why is this?" ”

An An said: "If my father is still jealous of my grandfather, he will push the boat down the river and refuse to exchange the city. If the lord of Gao Can executes me in a fit of anger, then my father will use the power of the country to destroy Gao Can. First, it can unite the strength of the military and the people of the whole country, the army is more ambitious, and it is only a matter of time before Gao Canguo is destroyed. Second, you can take the opportunity to recruit military service again, and when the Gao Can Kingdom is destroyed, the other countries can find an excuse to swallow them up. ”

He Shengnan asked: "Since the strength of the whole country can annihilate Gao Canguo, why didn't you send more troops over before, why did you do it many times?" ”

An An said: "This is about the dignity of a great country. In the past, my father felt that there was no need to spend so much energy to annihilate Gao Canguo, and the benefits outweighed the losses. But if they dare to kill me, and my father is still indifferent, other countries will despise my father and emperor, and will be unwilling to submit to the imperial capital. The imperial capital has lost the confidence of all countries to come to the court. And it is more worthwhile to exchange ten cities for me, and send more troops to destroy Gao Can. ”

When He Shengnan heard this, he felt very distressed, how could he see the family affection and interests in the world so thoroughly at such a young age.

She comforted: "I think the emperor is not willing to give up on you, after all, you are also his own son." ”

An An said with a smile: "Between the imperial powers, there is no family affection at all. And my father is wary of my mother and grandfather, if I disappear completely, it won't just solve a big trouble for him. In the future, he can sit back and relax, and then slowly repair the relationship between Eniang, and one day, they will be reconciled as before. ”

He Shengnan shook his head and said, "If the emperor really dares to abandon you, Miss will never forgive him." ”

An An said: "The lord of Gao Can will not be so stupid, he will understand such a truth." If my father is unwilling to exchange the city, I may be locked up in a prison and tortured by them. ”

He Shengnan said helplessly: "Little prince, why do you put yourself in such a passive position? If Miss knew, she would be crazy. ”

An An said: "So I brought you here, if my father chooses to abandon me, then we must find a way to escape by ourselves." ”

He Shengnan said: "This place is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for you and me to escape together." ”

An An said with a smile: "What we have to do is to be surprised." ”

He Shengnan nodded and said, "There is a chance of winning, but it is too risky, and you must not act like this in the future." ”

An An said: "Wealth and danger are sought, there is really a day when we escape, and my father will compensate me out of guilt." ”

He Shengnan asked, "What if the emperor is willing to exchange the city?" ”

An An said: "Then we still took it by surprise, hijacked the lord of Gao Can, and joined forces with General Zuo Ying to eliminate Gao Canguo." Since my father is unwilling to abandon me, he will definitely investigate this matter strictly, and at that time, the eldest prince will not be able to escape the involvement. ”

He Shengnan began to admire him, and she asked, "Little prince, who did you learn from these?" ”

An An said: "I don't need to learn from anyone, in the palace, I have read almost all the books on imperial power in the library. ”

Those living and bloody events, one by one, swirled in his mind. It made his heart gradually harden and his thinking more rational.

He Shengnan didn't like this An An, she said: "Miss has taught you since you were a child, be an upright person and relieve the worries of the people. How do you learn all those intrigues? ”

An An said: "If I don't learn this, I may die at the hands of the eldest prince this time." I haven't forgotten what my mother taught me. But being in the royal family and not knowing how to protect oneself will bring disaster to yourself and the people around you. ”

He Shengnan didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, the next person reported that there was a princess of Gao Canguo who asked to see her.

An An directly refused: "Please pass it on, just say that it is inconvenient for this prince to meet guests." ”

The servant said, "The princess said that it won't delay you too much." If you are not happy with what she says, she can leave at any time. ”

An An and He Shengnan didn't know what this princess was talking about, An An wanted to refuse, He Nan said: "What's the matter if you see it." ”

An An then said: "Then please!" ”

Princess Gao Ling came and saluted each other.

She said with a smile: "I heard that the imperial capital is outstanding, and now I see the little prince of the imperial capital, and the rumors are true." ”

An An said: "If it is a rumor, how can it be taken seriously? I wonder what the princess is doing when she comes to see me? ”

Princess Gao Ling said: "The imperial capital army is menacing, and it is only a matter of time before our Gao Can Kingdom is destroyed. If the little prince wants to escape, I can help you. It's just that in the future, can the little prince keep my brother safe? ”

An An frowned and said, "I'm just a member of the army, and I can't decide anything." Now that I can't protect myself, how can I protect your brother? ”

Princess Gao Ling said: "I just want to give my brother a guarantee, if the little prince has the right to decide our life and death in the future, please open up to my brother." He was only ten years old and didn't understand anything. Matters between countries have nothing to do with children. ”

An An said: "Princess Gao is too much to lift me up......"

Princess Gao Ling interrupted him: "Little prince, I know that my father has done some things that have harmed the interests of the imperial capital. also killed many people in the imperial capital. I'm a female and can't stop him from doing all this, but my brother really has nothing to do with these things. I hope he can live well. ”

An An said: "Then you dare to disobey your father? You only protect your brother, but what about yourself? ”

Princess Gao Ling said: "Life and death are fate, I don't ask you to save my life." If I die and my brother lives, I will be satisfied. ”

An An asked, "Can you watch your father and queen die tragically?" ”

Princess Gao Ling said: "My mother passed away five years ago, and the only thing that makes me feel at ease now is my younger brother. ”

An An said: "Princess Gao, it is better to persuade your father and the emperor to be a vassal to our imperial capital." My father may be able to forgive you. ”

Princess Gao Ling shook her head and said, "I have advised my father many times, but he has ignored it. ”

An An said: "Then there is nothing to say. ”

Princess Gao Ling said: "Then I'll try again, little prince, please be patient." ”

After Princess Gao Ling left, He Shengnan said, "Little prince, what do you mean by Princess Gao Ling?" ”

An An said: "I don't know her. Perhaps, she has greater ambitions. ”

He Shengnan said: "If Gao Canguo is a minister, then wouldn't you be a great meritorious?" ”

An An smiled and said, "But I didn't do anything!" ”

He Shengnan said: "That Princess Gao Ling appreciates your talent very much. You said that if the current lord of the country abdicates, what will happen to Gao Changuo in the future? ”

An An said: "Maybe you can become the right-hand man of the imperial capital." ”

He Shengnan said: "Little prince, did you have this plan before you set out on the expedition. ”

An An said: "Who can predict what will happen in the future. Sometimes there are windfalls, and it's not impossible. ”

Princess Gao Ling came to meet the lord of the country.

She said: "Father, the imperial capital army is menacing, after all, we are short of troops, it is better to surrender to the imperial capital, can we solve our worries?" ”

The lord of Gao Can said: "Ling'er, you are thinking too simply. Over the years, we have repeatedly invaded the imperial capital. There are deep grievances with them, from the hundreds of officials to the common people. We all hate us to the core, and even if we are vassals, we may not be treated well. ”

Princess Gao Ling said: "But our Gao Can Kingdom can't compete with the imperial capital. Even if the emperor of the imperial capital is willing to exchange ten cities for the little prince, the next time they raise the strength of the country, we Gao Can will not be able to fight back. ”

The lord of Gao Can said: "Then according to Ling'er's opinion, what should I do? ”

Princess Gao Ling said: "We have repaired the book to the emperor of the imperial capital, expressing our willingness to be a minister. and send the little prince back on a certain day. In order to show our sincerity, we can pay an additional 20% of the tribute every year, and we will be protected by the imperial capital in the future. You can also deal with them economically, and you will be stronger before the national power is determined. ”

The lord of Gao Can said: "If the emperor is unwilling, what should he do? ”

Princess Gao Ling said: "The imperial capital is a big country, and it accepts congratulations from all directions. We are willing to surrender, how can they not want to? ”

Lord Gao Can said, "Let me consult with the ministers again. ”

The pros and cons of Gao Can's generals and resistance are explained, and it depends on the ministers' statements.

Among these ministers, many civilian officials expressed their willingness to submit, after all, in every war, both sides suffered heavy losses. And Gao Can's people are not prosperous, and if they continue to consume like this, Gao Can will be in danger of destroying the country sooner or later.

The generals were vehemently opposed, and the bloody nature of the soldiers did not allow them to submit to the enemy. And they are all brave and good at fighting, if they surrender, what use will they have.

The two sides engaged in a heated dispute. After a few days, the results were still not discussed.

In the midst of their stalemate, Gao Can said: "Your Majesty, we have killed countless of their people over the years, but we are afraid that after being called a minister, the imperial capital will be liquidated. None of us can escape responsibility. ”

The lord of Gao Can said: "We will send an envoy to discuss with the emperor of the imperial capital, and if he is a minister, see if these old grievances can be written off." ”

General Gao Canyou said: "Your Majesty, people's hearts are unpredictable, now that their prince is in our hands, they pretend to forgive us, and when they are put back, they will settle the account, then we will not sit back and wait for death?" ”

Prime Minister Gao Can said: "Your Majesty, there are many countries in the imperial capital that first resisted and later became vassals. The imperial capital did not embarrass them, and the ministers thought that they did not look like people who did not keep their promises. ”

General Right said: "Prime Minister, you can't just think that they will keep their promises, and just put our lives in the hands of others and let others handle them. ”

The prime minister thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we leave the little prince behind." After a few years of peace with us, we will put the people back. ”

The lord of Gao Can said: "I'm afraid that the emperor of the imperial capital will not agree." ”

The prime minister said: "It's better for the old minister to go to the peace talks." For the sake of Gao Chan's future, it is necessary to be cautious. ”

The lord of Gao Can said: "Okay, then Aiqing will run it." ”

Yang Mubai waited for 20 days, but there was no news of General Zuo Shang and An An's triumph, she was very anxious, could it be that something had happened.

She spent some money and sent to the camp to inquire.

After a few passes, all I got was that they were still fighting in Gao Chan Country, and they didn't return so soon.

The more Yang Mubai thought about it, the more anxious she became, and she said to Qiu Yue: "Qiu Yue, why don't you go to the Gaocan border to check and see if something happened to An An." I've been restless lately. ”

Qiu Yue said: "Miss, I'm going, who will stay with you?" Now there is no news in the battalion, which is the best news. Gao Canguo is said to have a strong army, how can he subdue them all in a few days. With the left general here, you can rest assured! The little prince will be fine. ”

Yang Mubai said: "Then how can there be no news at all? ”

Qiu Yue said: "The little prince is busy fighting, where can he have time to write you a letter home?" Just wait for him to come back in peace! ”

As they were talking, the maid came to report: Zhang Shuo is here.

Qiuyue was very surprised, why did Zhang Shuo come at this time, could it be that he missed her and came secretly?

Yang Mubai was a little worried, Zhang Shuo came here for no reason, could it be that something happened to Pingping?

When Zhang Shuo saw Qiu Yue, he was so happy that he forgot about it for a while. Qiu Yue coughed dryly and said, "Zhang Shuo, why are you here?" ”

Zhang Shuo came back to his senses, hurriedly saluted Yang Mubai, and then said: "Queen Mother, the emperor is very concerned about you, special." Order Weichen to come and pick you up and take you back to the palace."

Yang Mubai said: "Isn't he going to take a concubine?" How do you remember me? Shi Nianxin is so beautiful, what does he want me to do! ”

Zhang Shuo: "......" This is a matter between your husband and wife, what kind of fire is it to throw on him?

Qiu Yue Yuanchang said: "That is, you men just like the new and hate the old, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot." Insatiable. ”

Zhang Shuo said: "Qiuyue, I'm not such a person. After you left, I didn't miss you for a day. After speaking, he looked at her aggrievedly.

Yang Mubai couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Zhang Shuo, you go back and tell the emperor." When An An returns from the expedition, I will return to the palace. You and Qiuyue will go back first! ”

Qiu Yue said: "Miss, you are alone now, how can I rest assured of you." When you go back to the palace, I will go back when I go. ”

Yang Mubai said: "I mean, let you take Zhang Shuo back to your tent." You little don't win the newlywed, I'm not afraid that Zhang Shuo won't be able to hold it back? ”

Qiu Yue glared at her and said dissatisfiedly: "Miss, you learned from you, so nasty?" ”

Zhang Shuo's face flushed. He really couldn't hold it anymore, but he couldn't say it like that!

Yang Mubai said: "Hey, you have been married for so many years, and you are still so shy, it is embarrassing for you." All right! You take Zhang Shuo to wash up, he has been in the dust all the way, don't you feel distressed? ”

Qiu Yue said: "It's pretty much the same. Zhang Shuo, you come with me. ”

Qiu Yue asked the maid to prepare a few kinds of wine and food, and when Zhang Shuo finished washing, she was ready to eat together.

Zhang Shuo finished taking a bath, came behind her, and hugged her tightly. whispered in her ear, "Qiuyue, I miss you very much." ”

Qiu Yue nodded and said, "I miss you too." Are you tired of traveling? Eat some food first......"

Before she finished speaking, Zhang Shuo came to her and kissed her fiercely. It seems that I want to integrate all the thoughts of this year into this kiss.

After a while, Qiu Yue gasped and said, "Aren't you hungry?" Let's eat first......"

Zhang Shuo bit her lip and said softly, "I want to eat you." With that, he carried her to the bedroom.

Qiu Yue said shyly: "It's not dark yet!" ”

Zhang Shuo said with a smile: "It will be dark soon." ”

Thinking that he hadn't seen him for a year, he was really anxious, so he didn't stop him and let him go.

Where can Zhang Shuo take care of so much, and toss Qiuyue endlessly. And over and over again.

Qiu Yue was tired, and it was already late when I saw it outside. She rejected Zhang Shuo and said, "What's the matter with you? I can't stand it anymore, your martial arts are so bad, why are you so capable of this? ”

Zhang Shuo smiled and said, "Who is this to blame?" How long has it been since you've been with me. Am I not holding back? ”

Qiu Yue said angrily: "You married me for this?" ”

Here we go again, here we go again. How many times has he said it.

Zhang Shuo immediately said: "Of course I married you because I love you!" Isn't it tireless to do this because you are longing for you? ”

Qiu Yue said: "Hmph, a man's mouth, a deceitful ghost, I don't believe you." ”

Zhang Shuo grabbed her hand and said, "If you don't believe it, I'll prove it to you." After saying that, he began to toss her again.

Qiu Yue was helpless, so she only tossed by him. When Zhang Shuo was done, she was very tired, and she wanted to ask about the palace. After saying a few words, he fell asleep.

I don't even remember how Zhang Shuo answered her.

Zhang Shuo saw that she was sleeping soundly, and looked at her with his head in his hand. I haven't seen her for so long, but her appearance has not changed, and she is just as fascinating.

He looked at it for a while, and he was tired, so he gently imprinted a kiss on her forehead, and said softly: "Qiuyue, don't run anymore, I really can't live without you." After saying that, he hugged her and fell asleep.

The next day, Qiuyue woke up and Zhang Shuo had already left.

After Qiuyue washed, she went to see Yang Mubai. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shuo was not here with Yang Mubai, Qiuyue was very puzzled, didn't Zhang Shuo say that he came to take Yang Mubai back to the palace? At this time, where did he go?

She said, "Miss, did Zhang Shuo come to you today?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "He hasn't been here. Why, I left you when I was full? ”

Qiu Yue was speechless and said, "Miss, what's going on with you lately?" Speak so indiscriminately. ”

Yang Mubai said: "Then didn't he dine at your place?" ”

Qiu Yue replied: "Nonsense, of course there is a meal, you really want to starve him to death!" ”

Yang Mubai said: "Didn't he leave when he was full?" Am I wrong? ”

Qiuyue: "......" this woman is so hateful.

When Yang Mubai saw her like this, he laughed and said, "Qiuyue, where do you want to go?" Oh! It turns out that you have something unclean in your head, and it depends on me. ”

Qiu Yue said: "I won't talk nonsense with you. Since Zhang Shuo is here to pick you up and take you back to the palace, why is he not here for you. Where the hell did he go? ”

Yang Mubai shook his head and said, "Qiuyue, you are hopeless." It's only been a long time, so I hurriedly looked for him, I think you're completely trapped. ”

Qiu Yue said: "He is my husband, is it wrong for me to love him?" He didn't ...... "Knowing that she had said the wrong thing, she hurriedly stopped."

Yang Mubai knew what she wanted to say, which was too embarrassing. She staggered the subject and said, "He might have prepared a surprise for you." ”

Qiu Yue said: "He won't do these things!" ”

Yang Mubai said: "Yes, then why did he go?" ”

Qiu Yue said, "Otherwise, I'll go find him." ”

Yang Mubai smiled and said, "Go ahead!" Go ahead! You can watch him well, don't let the other little girls run away. ”

Qiu Yue snorted coldly and said, "He dares." In her impression, Zhang Shuo is indeed not such a person, so she can be so sure that Zhang Shuo will not betray her.

Yang Mubai smiled and didn't speak.

Qiu Yue came to Biansai Street and walked around, Zhang Shuo didn't see anyone who likes to go shopping on weekdays. Did he go to the barracks?

Thinking so, Qiu Yue came to the outside of the barracks. She said to the soldiers guarding the gate: "Zhang Shuo is my husband, is he in the army?" ”

The soldier said, "Master Zhang came in the morning and has left now. ”

Qiuyue: "...... this dead man, where did he run away?"

She thanked the soldiers and left the barracks.

On the way back, I saw Zhang Shuo and the eldest prince discussing things while walking.

Qiu Yue was surprised, didn't the eldest prince go on the expedition with the little prince? Why did the eldest prince come back, and the little prince and General Zuo Shang hadn't heard that they had returned to the camp.

She hurriedly turned sideways into the grass by the side of the road, wanting to hear what they had to say.

The eldest prince said: "Gao Canguo sent an envoy to the imperial capital again, and this time it was still their prime minister. I see that they intend to submit, why did my father send you? ”

Zhang Shuo said: "The emperor was very anxious when he heard that the little prince was captured, so he sent me to. Gao Can sent an envoy to the imperial capital again, and I have just received the news. ”

The eldest prince said: "I heard that Gao Canguo wants to leave the imperial brother in Gao Can as a proton, and if we don't hold them accountable in a few years, we will let the imperial brother return." ”

Zhang Shuo said: "This is impossible, it is impossible for the emperor to agree." The little prince must be rescued as soon as possible. Didn't they say they wanted ten cities? ”

The eldest prince said: "Now it has changed again, who knows!" ”

Hearing these words, Qiu Yue was stunned. An An was captured, why didn't they receive any news at all. Zhang Shuo's words behind them, she couldn't hear them clearly, and she didn't want to listen to them anymore.

She hurried back. Yang Mubai saw that her face was pale and her expression was flustered, Yang Mubai hurriedly asked, "Qiuyue, what's wrong with you?" Did something happen? Did Zhang Shuo have an accident? ”

Qiu Yue calmed down for a while, and said slowly: "Miss, it's the little prince who has an accident." He was taken prisoner. ”

Yang Mubai said in disbelief: "How is this possible? He went on the expedition with General Zuo, how could he be captured? Where did you hear the news from. ”

Qiu Yue said: "I heard what Zhang Shuo and the eldest prince said......"

Yang Mubai's face quickly turned pale with fright, and she said, "Didn't the eldest prince go on the expedition with An An?" Where did you meet him? ”

Qiu Yue said: "It's on the road to the barracks. ”

Yang Mubai couldn't care so much, and hurriedly ran out.

Qiu Yue asked, "Miss, where are you going?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "I'm going to find Zhang Shuo and the eldest prince, and I'll ask you face to face what is going on." ”
