Chapter 277: The War (1)

Before Shen Wan's illness recovered, the Western Kingdom learned that the Northern Kingdom was secretly training troops, and also heard that Xichen would launch an attack on the Western Kingdom from July to September, so they took the lead in launching a campaign against the Northern Kingdom in early June.

Because of the war in the outer court, everyone's faces were extremely solemn, and the harem was also extremely quiet at this time, Xichen had been discussing in the Liangyi Pavilion all night for several nights, and did not favor any concubines, and the concubines naturally understood that the harem should be quiet at this time, and if they still played those jealousy tricks at this time, it would be too chilling for the emperor. What's more, once the war hits the capital, these women no longer have the heart to compete for favor, only to flee for their lives!

When Shen Wan, who was ill, learned of this, she was even more worried, just because Xiao Wumian was not prepared at all, and this was not the best time to fight. Ye Cangqiong must have known at this point, so he was in a hurry to strike first!

On the seventh day of the Western Army, Xichen activated Zhang Jinyue, a member of the military department, known as the "ghost talent", to rush to the front line on the same day as the general of the expedition to the west. This Zhang Jinyue has been unknown in the military department in the past, and he saw that he was either reading military books or studying weapons on weekdays, and only once when he was the first emperor, You Shenxiang appointed to suppress bandits, and the use of soldiers was very strange and strange, and no one could see such a way. He has been neglected since Xichen succeeded to the throne, and now he has been reactivated, and it is such an important position.

After Zhang Jinyue arrived in the west, he began to deal with the West ** team, and the general of the West ** team was Shen Lan! Shen Lan knew that this person was powerful, so he decided not to use troops against foreign countries first. But in this way, some people began to spread the news of Shen Lan's exchange with the northern country. Ye Cangqiong weighed it again and again, replaced Shen Lan, and sent General Qianye into battle.

The battle started in mid-June, but it took only ten days, and the West ** team was losing and retreating, and Liangzhou, which was finally obtained, almost missed.

When the news reached the northern capital, Xichen shouted, "Okay!" ”

Shen Wan also knew such news, smiled slightly, and said: "Zhang Jinyue is indeed a person with some skills, he is familiar with the other party's combat methods, but no one can see through what he will do next." When his father was alive, he valued him a lot, but he was too young at that time, and he must have grown a lot over the past few years. ”

Cui Shanggong sighed: "According to what Weichen said, don't worry about these things, who wins and who loses in the two northwestern countries, and Niangniang has no worries, and the north is naturally good if it wins, even if it is defeated, Niangniang is also a person who has a way out." ”

Shen Wan just smiled and didn't say anything. She understood what Cui Shanggong meant, and now Xiao Wumian is in Jiangnan, and there is no war over there. However, even if the southern country is a corner of the country back then, won't the western country take advantage of the victory to pursue? The current Chu Xichen and Ye Cangqiong, which one of them did not fight this battle with the ambition of dominating the world! Haidong ignores it, and these two powerful countries must always have a winner.

Thinking of this, not only did he sigh faintly, but a low thunder sounded outside the window, dark clouds were overpowering, and a rainstorm was coming. But fortunately, the summer rainstorm came and went quickly.

"Go and bring Zhao'er over, I'm afraid I'll be afraid of thunder." Shen Wan instructed Chun'er.

At this time, in Shen Mengxuan, Ruo Concubine was hiding in the quilt in fear, and every time the thunder came, she had to tremble for a while. The maid Cailan hurriedly came over and said, "Little master, don't do this, this will cover yourself." ”

Ruo Concubine showed a pair of innocent eyes and said fearfully: "I'm afraid of thunder!" I was really scared. ”

Cai Lan couldn't pull her a few times, so she had to call a few other palace maids to work together, and she was entangled, but she heard someone behind her: "What are you doing here?" ”

Everyone turned around and saw that it was the emperor who came, and they knelt down to plead guilty. Ruo Concubine took away the quilt and was about to get out of bed to say goodbye, when another thunder hit, and she screamed in fright and hid in the quilt.

Xichen smiled and waved his hand, asked everyone to step back, sat on the edge of the bed, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't fool yourself, I know that you are afraid of thunder, so I came to take a look." He pulled the quilt open, and Ruo Concubine hid in his arms in fear. Xichen touched her nose dotingly, and said with a smile: "I was afraid when I was a child, why am I still afraid now?" ”

Ruo Concubine looked at him confusedly and asked, "When I was a child?" Has the emperor ever seen a concubine when she was a child? ”

Xichen was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I mean that you are so scared now, and you must be even more scared when you are a child." ”

Ruo Concubine shrank back and said, "It's not, when I was a child, my concubine was very afraid of thunder, and she hid in the bed every time." But now that there is the emperor, the concubines are not afraid, the emperor was very busy a while ago, and the concubines miss the emperor. ”

Xichen was a little in a trance, and said lightly: "Yes." ”

Ruo Concubine raised her head and said seriously: "Yes, the concubine misses the emperor very much, really!" ”

Xichen smiled and said, "I believe in you." His smile flickered, his eyes darkened, and he turned his head to look out the window.

Ruo Concubine encircled him hard and whispered, "Don't go, the emperor......"

After a while, he said, "I won't leave." ”

After the thunder, the pouring rain poured down, and the thunder gradually drowned out, only the sound of the roaring rain, which washed the entire palace vigorously.

In the Chen Palace, Chun'er closed the windows, which looked a little stuffy. Xiangming said with a smile: "It's really strange, His Royal Highness is so small, but he is not afraid of thunder at all, look at these little eyes, dripping and turning, what a god!" ”

Shen Wan smiled: "Fortunately, he is not like me, if he is also afraid of thunder, he will be laughed at when he grows up." ”

"Isn't Niang Niang also afraid of thunder? The slave didn't see it! Qingyue asked curiously.

"That was when I was a child, and now I'm a mother, if I'm still afraid of this, wouldn't I be laughed at by you?" Shen Wan said.

"We won't laugh at the mother!" Qingyue said proudly, "Niangniang is beautiful and smart, and she is so good to us!" We only respect the mother, how can we laugh at it! ”

"That's it." Chun'er also said.

Xiangming looked at them and smiled: "You guys are like sisters, why don't you just bow down?" ”

Qingyue blushed and said, "I've already bowed!" ”

Xiangming smiled: "That's really congratulations, don't tell us, let's have a cup of happy wine to drink!" ”

Qingyue lowered her head and was embarrassed, Shen Wan smiled and said, "This is a good thing!" I treat each of you as a sister, and since you have already bowed to the handle, I can't do it because of the rules, but this gift is to be followed. Teacher, go and prepare a gift for me and give it to the two of them! ”

Cui Shanggong said with a smile: "Yes, Weichen will do it." ”

Everyone laughed and joked, and Shen Wan only felt lonely after laughing, and looked at the rain outside the window more and more urgently.
