was caught, Lan Xin felt very embarrassed: "The eldest prince, I'm really embarrassed, I don't know ......"

"Miss Lan doesn't have to blame herself, I know it's not your idea, it must be Xue'er who forced you over." Lou Qingchen knew that there were some things that outsiders couldn't hear, but now, it was impossible to pull out what they heard from their minds.

"I thought there were fun things, but who knew that it was a war and a war, it was really boring, so I went to play by myself." After Cher finished speaking, she slipped away as if she were running away.

"The eldest prince, then I will also leave, the eldest prince can rest assured, what I heard just now will definitely rot in my stomach." Lan Xin knows that people are suspicious, so it's good to make a guarantee for yourself.

Lou Qingchen nodded, and when Lan Xin turned around, he stopped again, as if he had something to say.

"Is there anything else going on with the Blue Maiden?"

"The eldest prince, I have a few words I want to say about what I just heard, I don't know if the eldest prince would like to hear it?" Lan Xin asked.

"Miss Blue, but it's okay." Lou Qingchen didn't go to his heart at all, in his eyes, a woman was just embroidering and singing songs, but Lan Xin's words in the back made him a little impressed.

"The eldest prince, in my opinion, it is better to retreat from the border battle." Blue Heart Road.

"Retreat?" Lou Qingchen secretly said in his heart, as he guessed, it was just a woman's opinion.

"Yes, it is to retreat, they suddenly increased their troops by 50,000, and they are hard to fight, I am afraid that the enemy will lose 1,000 and 800, so I think that retreat is the most feasible way now, but when I say retreat, I don't just close the city gate and hide. Instead, quietly do some engineering. Lan Xin deliberately stopped and didn't say anything, he was carefully observing Lou Qingchen's reaction, he had listened politely from the disdain just now, and now, what he saw was aroused by Lan Xin's curiosity.

"What project?" Lou Qingchen asked.

"Moat." Lan Xin said confidently.

Back at the residence, Lan Xin's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, there was no need to say so much today, but when Lan Xin heard that it was Lan Qinyang who brought 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack the northern country with Mo Yan, the anger that had been in his heart for a long time finally couldn't help but burst out, and it was time to settle the account they owed.

The next morning, when the eldest prince said the idea of retreating in public, everyone sighed, and no one thought that the heroic and belligerent prince would choose to hide and not send troops, and even the emperor could not understand his thoughts.

"Qingchen, the struggle between us and the southern and northern frontiers has never stopped, and there is no distinction between high and low, now their forces have increased greatly, if we let it go without fighting, they must think that we are afraid of the southern country, and they are even more arrogant. The emperor thought about it carefully, but it was finally incomprehensible.

"Father, retreat is not to be a turtle with a shrunken head, but to take this opportunity to build a moat, we have a lot of rivers in the north, there is a big river near the border, we will now lead the troops to dig a wide river, lead the river to the city wall, and then connect with the East River, in this way, we have a natural barrier, no matter how many troops they have in the south, it is impossible to cross the moat on foot, moreover, no matter how they want to cross the river, they will be exposed to us, our archers will take their lives at any time, we will not move a single soldier, They have suffered heavy casualties! ”

Lou Qingchen's words fell, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all amazed, and they praised Lou Qingchen's unique thinking, which no one can match.

"Good, good!" The emperor praised again and again and was very satisfied.

"Qingchen, you really impress me. I'll take full responsibility for this matter, and don't let me down. ”

"Yes! Son's Command! Lou Qingchen is already ready to go, looking forward to making a big difference.

In the evening, Lou Qingchen went to Xue'er's residence in person, and Xue'er was so frightened that she didn't dare to go out, thinking that she was going to find trouble for herself again.

"Big brother, I've always been honest today, and I haven't done anything, really." Cher said nervously.

"I'm not here for you today, Lady Blue? I have something to say to him. Lou Qingchen glanced at Xue'er and continued.

"They are all women, and the gap is really big." The more Lou Qingchen looked at Xue'er, the more she felt that Xue'er was unpleasant, and waved her hand impatiently.

"Go, go, go and get Miss Blue."

Xue'er looked unhappy, but she didn't expect to be disgusted by her brother, so she left reluctantly, and not long after, she came over with Lan Xin.

Lou Qingchen immediately got up and greeted him with a smile, but as if he had just noticed Xue'er, he waved his hand impatiently: "You go and play, we adults have something to talk about." ”

"Humph!" Xue'er was so angry that she stomped her feet, when did her brother say this to herself, it was simply unreasonable.

"Big brother, you just forget your sister, hum! Guy with no conscience, if you have something to ask me for in the future, how can I embarrass you! Xue'er said unwillingly.

"If you don't leave here again, then I'll let someone invite you out." Lou Qingchen had a slight threat in his words, but he could hear that their brothers and sisters often fought like this, which made outsiders a little envious.

"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go!" Cher reluctantly moved out.

Lan Xin smiled lightly: "The eldest prince really spoils his sister." ”

"That's what you say, that stinky girl, never felt that I was spoiling her, and always worked against me, in her eyes, I was the heinous villain." Lou Qingchen was a little helpless, but his eyes were also full of spoiling.

"By the way, the eldest prince invited me over, I don't know what it is." Lan Xin asked.

"This ......" The eldest prince hesitated a little, but looked at Lan Xin's burning gaze, paused for a moment, and then said: "Miss Lan, I have a reluctance, I don't know if Miss Lan can promise me." ”

"The Great Prince, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"I ...... I'd like to ask Miss Blue to come with me to the barracks. Lou Qingchen finally said what was in his heart, at this moment, Lan Xin already had an immeasurable position in his heart, and he was a rare talent, so Lou Qingchen wanted to recruit her into his command as soon as possible.

"Barracks?" Blue Heart was slightly surprised.

"Great Prince, you can't be joking, are you? I'm a woman, it's a violation of etiquette to enter and leave the barracks, not to mention that I'm still from the south, and it's good that nothing else happened when I entered your northern barracks, but if something bad happens, I'm afraid it will be held accountable to me. Lan Xin didn't want to go through this muddy water at all, so it was better to look at the scenery here and enjoy such a comfortable day than anything else.

"Miss Lan, don't worry, I am the one who let you enter the barracks, and no matter what happens in the future, I will bear it, so you don't have to have any worries, and besides, I will also send someone to take care of Yifan and your friends to relieve you of your worries." Lou Qingchen made up his mind to invite Lan Xin to the barracks this time, so he made plans early.

Rushing to the door and waving, two guards came in, Lou Qingchen pointed at the two and said, "Miss Lan, these are my two personal guards, and now they are Yifan's guards, ensuring that Yifan will not be injured in any way." ”

Lou Qingchen did this, and Lan Xin couldn't find an excuse to refute it for a while: "Great prince, why do you have to do this?" I'm just a woman. ”

"Nope! Although you are a woman, but you are different from them, you have great talent in your heart, not to mention women, even a man like me is ashamed of himself, Miss Lan, please don't shirk, I really need you, if you really don't want to stay in the barracks for a long time, then you will stay until you retire from the southern army, how about it? Lou Qingchen's words carried a hint of pleading.

This made Lan Xin a little distressed, he knew this, he shouldn't have said those words more in the first place, but now he is looking for the door, and he can't go if he doesn't go.

Oh, that's it, it's time to repay the love of that pearl white jade pill.

"Okay." Lan Xin finally nodded in response.

In northern Xinjiang, a large number of soldiers approached the border of the northern country, and the 50,000 soldiers and horses led by Lan Qinyang, as the vanguard, did not stop.

When he was four or five miles away from the border of the northern country, Mo Yan ordered to camp on the spot, and Lan Qinyang was very puzzled.

"Lord Wang, we are about to reach the northern border, why did we stop at this time?" Lan Qinyang was very anxious, he was now in a hurry to make this great achievement, so that he could go back and receive the reward.

"It's getting late, and the soldiers are all tired, so they need to rest, and they will attack again early tomorrow morning." Mo Yan spoke very simply: "If Lord Lan is unwilling to stop, you can take your own people and hurry." ”

Lan Qinyang was choked for a long time and couldn't speak, and paused for a moment and said: "Lord Wang, we sent troops to take us by surprise, and suddenly stopped at this time, if there are spies among these soldiers and secretly report to the northern country, won't our plan all fall through?" ”

"Lord Lan is too worried, so many of us set off at the same time, even if there are no spies, the people in the northern country have long been aware of it, rather than going to the battlefield with fatigue to fight, it is better to recuperate." Mo Yan has his own plans in his heart, although the border between the two countries, although there is constant friction, but there has never been such a large-scale fight, once this head is opened, I am afraid that this border will no longer be able to settle down, and when the time comes, it will be these soldiers and the people on the border who will suffer.

"That's what the prince said." Lan Qinyang couldn't find anything to refute for a while, so he could only agree with Mo Yan's approach.

After Lan Qinyang left, Ye Han came over, glanced around vigilantly, and then squatted down and lowered his voice: "I found a strange thing." ”
