Chapter 36: The March Scimitar

Sent Xiao Xin away, and when he lay on the bed after washing up that night, he didn't see Xiao Xin's figure, and he couldn't tell how contradictory the happiness and melancholy in his heart were, Xiao Jingning was secretly relieved.

She knows her own family affairs, if Xiao Xin treats her like this, in the long run, she can't escape even if she wants to. Now she only hopes to be able to see Xun Ruolan and exchange with her as soon as possible, so that everything will return to its original place, which will be good for everyone.

Sleepiness gradually hits, but there is no dream. When Xiao Jingning was in a daze in the middle of the night, he was surprised to find a person standing at the head of the bed, and he suddenly woke up, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

"Your Majesty?"

Who can tell her when Xiao Xin learned to raid in the middle of the night?!

Xiao Xin stopped her from getting up and saluting, and hugged her tightly in her arms, Xiao Jingning could still feel the hot breath exhaled by Xiao Xin when she breathed between her neck, her heart trembled, she was really at a loss in the face of such Xiao Xin.

After struggling inwardly for a long time, Xiao Jingning raised his hand to cover Xiao Xin's deadly hand, and asked gently, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”

Closing his eyes and smelling the fragrance emanating from her body, Xiao Xin was silent for a while before saying, "Today, in the court, Pingzhang asked for an order to go to the north. ”

"North?" Xiao Jingning muttered, "Over the years, Dayu has fought with the Changlin Army many times, but hasn't they all been suppressed outside the border by the Changlin Army?" And the king of Changlin is now personally sitting in the northern border......"

Suddenly remembering Pu Yangying's face, Xiao Jingning's words came to an abrupt end. There was a sudden burst of self-blame in her heart, why didn't she think of it, what Puyang Ying wanted to deal with was originally the Daliang royal family and the Changlin Palace, she thought of His Majesty, Xiao Yuanshi and Xiao Yuanjia Xiao Yuanyou, and also thought of Xiao Pingzhang Xiao Pingjing, but why didn't she think of it...... What about the King of Changlin?

Maybe not only she didn't think of it, I'm afraid even Xiao Pingzhang didn't think of it. Xiao Jingning's thoughts drifted away, when she thought of His Majesty that day, she thought that His Majesty's side was like an iron bucket, and she could rest assured. And the king of Changlin ...... He has good strength in his own right, and the guards around him are even more loyal, all of them are elite. King Changlin himself is a Dinghai god needle of the beam, thinking of him will be at ease, in the north is the existence of stopping children's night crying, who would have thought that Puyang Ying is so capable and can give birth to Dayu?

Xiao Jingning took a deep breath and asked, "Your Majesty, but what's wrong with this battle?" ”

Xiao Xin held the soft wattle covering his hand in the palm of his hand and traced the outline of his fingers: "Ruolan can know the March scimitar?" ”

Xiao Jingning was stunned: "March scimitar? What knife is still divided into months? ”

"Puff ......" Xiao Xin, who was originally dignified, couldn't help laughing, and Xia Han rubbed Xiao Jingning's hair, "The March scimitar is a battle recorded in the history of the Great Liang, no, cough cough, it's not a real knife." ”

Xiao Jingning's old face turned red, this can't be blamed on her, she has been taken by her mother since she was a child to learn the things that her daughter's family should learn such as the red music rhythm of the girl in the Xiao Pavilion, and she is not allowed to touch the unladylike things such as swords at all. After the mother concubine died of illness, Queen Yan didn't care much about them, she often ran to Jing Concubine according to her own preferences, and Jing Concubine often reminded her quietly, so she was much closer to the seventh brother Xiao Jingyan. She also learned some martial arts to defend herself, she was curious about the war, and after listening to Brother Qi's story of several battles, she felt that they were all fighting and killing, and she didn't understand it, but she knew that Brother Qi was so powerful!

It's not that she hasn't read the history of Daliang, it's just...... Like these wars, she only looks at which countries she is fighting with and which countries she is friendly with, and she knows the general map, but when it comes to what battles she is in, she is absolutely distracted! Anyway, in their daughter's family, the masters also turned a blind eye to this, that is, they were stricter in etiquette, female training and female precepts, female redness, etc.

"Your Majesty is not allowed to laugh at me!" Xiao Jingning said shyly, "I don't like to read history books since I was a child!" ”

Xiao Xin chuckled: "You, not only do you not like to read history books, I'm afraid you don't like to read anything except books." ”

Xiao Jingning was suffocated when he heard this, and couldn't help but change the topic: "Didn't you say the March scimitar?" Why did Your Majesty make fun of the fact that the concubines don't like to read......"

Returning to the topic, Xiao Xin looked solemn and told Xiao Jingning about the only war in the history of the Great Liang that put the Great Liang in danger: "In the twenty-seventh year of Jingyun, the three kingdoms of Dayu, Beiyan, and the East China Sea joined forces, intending to conspire against our Great Liang and eat it. At that time, the Dayu Imperial Army mainly attacked the northern front, the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry rushed through the Yin Mountain, the north and south of the battle line were connected to each other, at that time the disparity in strength was huge, the enemy was five and I was one, the northern defense line was torn to pieces, and then the war went straight into the hinterland, and the sword pointed at Jinling. Since the offensive began in early spring, the enemy's front protruded obliquely like a blade, and later generations called it the March Scimitar. ”

Hey?

Xiao Jingning lowered her eyes and thought about it, she seemed to have a glimpse of this when she was distracted by the history books, but she didn't remember the process much, so she recorded the warring sides.

"Huh? I seem to have heard of this, but isn't that the alliance of Dayu, Northern Yan and Northern Zhou? ”

Xiao Xin nodded: "At that time, the Northern Zhou Dynasty had actually been infiltrated by the East China Sea, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty was provoked to civil strife after this invasion of Daliang, and the government was completely controlled by the East China Sea spies, and then the Northern Zhou Dynasty was eaten and destroyed by the East China Sea and the Northern Yan in just a few decades. What really joined forces with Dayu Beiyan was actually the East China Sea, so the Northern Zhou Dynasty would have such an end. ”

"Your Majesty will suddenly mention the March Scimitar, and it should be that someone has recreated the critical situation at that time." Xiao Jingning tilted his head, "Could it be that Dayu, Beiyan, and Donghai have joined forces again?" King Hui, who is most likely to inherit the throne of Northern Yan, was killed by the lord of Chonghua, and now the court should be in chaos, right? The concubines also heard that there seemed to be a rebellion in Beiyan, could it be that they had already confirmed the heir so quickly to stabilize the court and suppress the rebels? Do you have the strength to attack my beam? The East China Sea itself is also a country that is easy to expand, and it is not impossible to see that there are interests involved. ”

Ruolan now knows that she has to care about the situation in other countries. But this time it was not the invasion of the three countries, but the country of Chongqing. Xiao Xin gently stroked the hair of the person in his arms, and continued: "Beiyan infighting and rebellion are too busy to take care of themselves, the rebels control the northern front, the four princes of Northern Yan are blind, and last month they took a risk to ally with Dayu, Dayu helped them attack the northern line occupied by the rebels, and Beiyan secretly opened the Yinshan Pass to enlarge the cavalry of Chongqing. Now although there is only Dayu, but they are prepared, the Yinshan Pass is open in January, and the northern defense line may have collapsed, Brother Wang ...... Critical, I'm just afraid that Pingzhang's kid won't be able to catch up...... If it is the king's brother...... How should I explain to my father? ”

Feeling Xiao Xin's strength holding her tighter and tighter, Xiao Jingning didn't dare to move at all, because a warm liquid dripped onto her neck, Xiao Xin cried? His body...... It is not advisable to have excessive emotional fluctuations......

"Your Majesty need not worry." Xiao Jingning comforted him gently, "In this situation, even if you work hard, it won't help, we can only believe in Pingzhang now, and I believe that he will definitely be able to solve the crisis of King Changlin." ”

"Hmm."

"Your Majesty, placement?" Xiao Jingning's voice was extremely gentle, coaxing Xiao Xin, "You have to rest well, and only after you have a good rest can you pay attention to the news in the north and make the best decision, right." ”。

Xiao Xin nodded, lay down in the position of holding her, pulled the quilt and carefully covered the two of them, sniffed the smell of Xiao Jingning's body, and slowly closed his eyes. Xu is Xiao Jingning's appeasement really worked, and it didn't take long for him to really fall asleep.
