Chapter 35: Purpose (1st Update)
The queen hugged An Huajin and cried for a long time, and then gradually collected her tears under her persuasion.
After An Huajin helped her sit down, she sighed, "Auntie, you are so difficult to coax, I now know why my cousin loves to cry, and her temperament that can't stop crying is with you." ”
The queen wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, looked at her fiery red dress, and said in a choked voice, "Before my father died, did he really think about Gu Qingyan as his grandson-in-law?" That's why you came to the capital to force marriage? ”
"Well, the only wish."
"When did Father go?" The queen asked again.
"I fell ill a month ago, I went seven days later, I stopped for seven days, and after I mourned him, I slept for two days, and walked for half a month with 300,000 soldiers and horses to Beijing." An Huajin briefly described the process.
The queen's eyes were full of tears again, "Why didn't you send me news?" ”
"Can't make it."
At this time, An Yining suddenly cried "wow", he didn't run over to An Huajin to hug, but alone, squatting on the ground, covering his face and crying.
The queen suddenly felt distressed, stood up while sitting, walked to An Yining's side in two steps, and hugged him, "Good boy, don't cry, don't cry, your great-grandfather went to heaven to see your great-grandmother, grandfather and grandmother, your father and second uncle." They are now about to be happily reunited. If you find out that you are crying, you will definitely feel distressed. ”
"Your great-grandfather wrote you a letter, Ning'er, don't cry, live for a hundred years, be happy with your destiny, your great-grandfather went very peacefully, it's a good thing." An Huajin took out a box, "These are all letters left by your great-grandfather for you." ”
An Yining immediately reached out and took the box, her eyes were red, and she opened it.
There was a thick stack of letter paper lying in the box, and when the old Nanyang Wang was sick, he held the pen weakly, and the handwriting showed some vanity and no strength.
An Yining cherished the letterheads one by one and took them out to read the letters.
The queen looked at An Huajin and asked, "Father can leave me a letter?" ”
An Huajin smiled, "I only left a letter for Ning'er, and left a message for my aunt and cousin, let me tell you." ”
The queen nodded, "What did you say?" ”
"Grandpa said, let you live the life you want to live in the second half of your life, whether you stay in the capital, go back to Nanyang, or walk around, it is always the life you want to live. The most distressed person for grandpa is my aunt, the most unbearable is me, the most nostalgic is Ning'er, and the most gratifying is the seventh cousin. ”
The queen covered her eyes with a veil again and began to weep.
An Huajin is not very good at coaxing people, it took a long time for the queen who had just been coaxed not to cry, but now seeing that she was crying again, there was no way, she turned her head to look at Chu Yan, who had not said a word since she came in, and motioned to him to coax with her eyes.
Chu Yan rubbed his eyebrows, stood up, and said to An Huajin, "Give them some time, they will digest their emotions, I have something to ask you, you come with me." ”
An Huajin knew what Chu Yan was going to ask her, and she was about to say something to him, so the two left the Chinese military account to the queen and An Yining and walked out.
Standing outside the tent of the Chinese army, there is a series of camp tents in front of the eye.
The soldiers on patrol and standing guard of the Nanyang Army, one by one, were like straight aspens, energetic in the cold wind.
This is the Nanyang Army!
It's the Nanyang Army that Chu Yan has always wanted to see!
He swept his gaze, turned his head, and said to An Huajin, "You and I can walk around casually and show me the entire military camp of your Anza, right?" ”
"Okay." An Huajin led Chu Yan around the tents.
Everywhere they passed, the soldiers saluted respectfully.
"How did my grandfather know about what happened?" Chu Yan asked.
"Grandpa on the way back to Nanyang, passing through Jiangzhou, Jiangzhou Wang warmly kept him for one night, before leaving sent a hundred-year-old ginseng, pressing a letter underneath, grandpa saw it, cousin also saw, thought grandpa didn't see it, secretly hidden, grandpa read cousin a painstaking heart, didn't say anything along the way, as if nothing happened, after returning to Nanyang, even I didn't notice it, until he fell ill, I didn't know, it turned out that he had already read the letter."
Chu Yan's face sank, "Why is the Jiangzhou Wang family like this?" Instructed by Wang Anzhi? ”
"It seems that it was instructed by him, and it is probably true that he was connived at, after all, Miss Wang Si admired Gu Qingyan and wanted to use this to provoke our rift to deepen, and there was no room for maneuver for reconciliation. She probably thought that she would be able to marry Gu Qingyan if she had a chance. ”
"Wang Lanxin?"
"Well, it's her. Because that ginseng plant is her mother's dowry. Anhua Jin said, "She is quite willing." ”
Chu Yan stopped, "Since my grandfather knows what happened back then, he still wants you to marry Gu Qingyan?" ”
An Huajin smiled, "Yes, my grandfather likes him very much, and also said that the Gu family has its own way of life, and the old man Gu stands in the position of the Gu family, which is not wrong, the Gu family is the Gu family, the old man Gu is the old man Gu, and Gu Qingyan is Gu Qingyan." ”
"What about you?"
"Does my cousin want to hear a lie or the truth?"
Chu Yan said, "Tell the truth and tell the truth." ”
"The lie is that the old man has only one wish when he is dying, and I naturally want to satisfy him." An Huajin's voice was smiling, he paused, and his voice was soft, "The truth is, I want Gu Qingyan, for the rest of my life, except for me, don't think about Xiao and miss him." Wang Lanxin is going to die. ”
Chu Yan was silent.
"If I don't take care of Qingyan, I will not be happy for the rest of my life, I am not happy, I must not be what my grandfather, my father, and my brothers want. They are in the spirit of heaven, and if they see that I am not happy, they will surely not be happy. An Huajin said, "In my life, I don't want to punish myself for other people's mistakes, I can even suppress Xu Jing's blood feud and not kill him with my own hands, let alone the innocent Gu Qingyan?" ”
Chu Yan was silent for a long time, nodded, looked at An Huajin's raised face, also smiled with her, reached out and rubbed her head, and his voice was much gentler, "You are right, my cousin is not trapped by shackles, I am very happy." ”
An Huajin didn't brush his hand, at this moment, she really felt that his seventh cousin looked like an elder brother, she asked, "Seventh cousin, these 300,000 soldiers and horses, I brought them to the capital, in fact, the most real purpose is to plan for you." ”
Chu Yan was stunned, "Why?" ”
An Huajin lowered his voice, "Nanqi and Nanliang have the movement of Xingbing, and Zhang Chengze is here, because I vigorously cleared the hidden piles buried in Nanyang by Nanqi and Nanliang, he has seen my strength, and he knows in his heart that Nanyang can't be broken, so he will probably advise the King of Nanliang to raise troops from Mobei." ”
Chu Yan's complexion changed slightly.
"There are only 200,000 soldiers and horses in the North Wangfu of Mobei Town, even if the soldiers and horses are strong, occupy the natural danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand the firepower attack of Nanqi and Nanliang, as long as Nanqi and Nanliang are willing to take 200,000 soldiers and horses as death squads, then, Mobei will definitely be captured, as long as Mobei is captured, you can drive straight into the imperial capital, once my speculation is confirmed, Mobei must be reinforced, Nanyang is thousands of miles away from Mobei, the capital is only three thousand miles away from Mobei, Nanyang's soldiers and horses to Mobei, the fastest will take at least 20 days, And the march from the capital to Mobei is seven days at the slowest time. Therefore, I brought 300,000 soldiers and horses to my seventh cousin for the purpose of personally conquering Mobei. ”
Chu Yan was stunned, "I'm pro-enlisted?" ”
An Huajin nodded, "Doesn't the seventh cousin not want a big position?" So, why not take this opportunity to enlist in person? The prince led the troops to Mobei, one to encourage the Mobei soldiers, the second to bring troops to reinforce Mobei, and the third to take the opportunity to push the matter of the court bureau to His Royal Highness, and then, in the future, you don't want to go back to the court, go directly from Mobei to Nanyang, and get out of the court, isn't it up to you? At the very least, the courtiers won't be around you, holding your trouser legs, hugging your legs, crying and shouting that they won't let you go. Because, they can't see your people, and there is His Royal Highness on top, if the courtiers catch it, they will also catch the Great Highness who can be seen in front of you when the time comes, you have made up your mind, Your Highness can only stare dryly, besides, he is indeed suitable for that position, after all, he is not disgusted, and the seventh cousin, you hate the capital, the palace, and the chair, it is not suitable, and now is an opportunity. ”
Chu Yan took a deep breath, "You're right. ”
He was touched in his heart, but he didn't expect An Huajin's ultimate purpose to think about him, his cousin, he only said that he didn't want to be in that position, and wanted to sit for his eldest brother, so she paved all the roads for him.
Chu Yan rarely has red circles under his eyes, but now when he looks at An Huajin, his eyes are red all of a sudden.
An Huajin reached out to cover Chu Yan's eyes, took out a handkerchief from his arms, stuffed it into his hand, and teased him, "Seventh cousin, don't be moved to cry, I also have other purposes." ”
"You say." Chu Yan was forced to take the veil, but he didn't wipe his eyes.
"I will hand over Anping to you, Mobei has the king of Zhenbei, Su Han, and many capable generals, plus Anping, you only need to take 300,000 soldiers and horses to resist the attacks of Southern Qi and Southern Liang, and there is no need to counterattack." An Huajin's voice lowered again, "I will take the opportunity to take the 700,000 Nanyang army, divide the troops into two routes, attack the rear of Nanliang and Nanqi, and avenge their bullying of our Great Chu for so many years. ”
