This matter, Xia Yueran also felt a little incredible, the Ling family's personal guards were extremely loyal, she was often envious, and wanted to raise some personal guards in their Xia family as well. However, the Xia family is obviously not in sufficient conditions, unlike the Ling family, which has a heavy army and has been operating in Yanggu Pass for many years, and has its own unique way of selecting and training.

"Although most of the Ling family's guards are orphans, they can become their own children," Xia Yueran frowned and said, "Is there someone who threatens his family?" ”

"It's possible." Ling Chenqing scratched his face after thinking about it: "Most of the Ling family's guards only got married after retiring, because they don't have much time to run a small family doll with their master." However, it is not excluded that some people will get married early, after all, there is no hard and fast rule that they are not allowed to get married. ”

"But it's also possible that something went wrong before it was selected." Qian Qian recalled what the woman said before she died: "She said before she died, she hoped that the object of her allegiance would be me, but unfortunately not." Is it possible that she had a loyal object before she was chosen? ”

"Do you already have allegiances when you are seven or eight years old?" Han Xing thought thoughtfully: "If that's the case, it's troublesome!" This woman knew that she had been in training a year before me, and that fifty of her contemporaries had now been entrusted with important tasks, and that the matter should be promptly reported to the Shogun. ”

After several people agreed, Ling Chenqing urgently delivered a carrier pigeon to Yanggu Pass, and the Ling family of Yanggu Pass reported the news to the capital. Although this matter is not very pleasant to say, it is also a good thing that the enemy is exposed, otherwise the Ling family does not know how long it will take to have a chance to find out that there is something wrong with the Ling family's personal guards.

Because of Qian Qian's news, Ling Leiyue really cleaned up a group of spies among the Ling family's personal guards, the number of them was small, but they were all in important positions, and some of them even had access to confidential military documents. Thinking back on this later, Ling Leiyue was still in a cold sweat. If these moles are all mobilized, it is also possible for the inside and outside to join forces to serve the Ling family!

After the turmoil of the Ling family passed, Feng Qiao Ning smashed a teacup in the queen's bedroom.

"What a person, so unbearable!" Feng Taishi, one of the three princes, didn't even raise his eyelids, raised his hand and gently combed his neat sideburns.

is almost sixty years old, and Taishi Feng Qiongshuo still has black hair. She wore a neat bun, a hairpin crown symbolizing grade, a thumb-sized Dongzhu earring on her ear, and a jasper pearl bead given by the empress around her neck.

"Mother! How can you still sit still! Feng Qiao Ning frowned: "That dead girl in Changle Palace won the battle in Qincheng, Jin Haiying personally played for her to ask for credit, His Majesty has been very happy in the past two days, and has been nagging Xiao Wu like this, Xiao Wu like that, these days have been resting in Changle Palace." If it goes on like this, I won't be able to see it for long, and Changle Palace is really going to be proud! ”

"It's just temporary, what are you anxious about!" Feng Qiongshuo glanced at his son, still not moving.

"Can I not be in a hurry!" Fengqiao Ning stood up and strode around the dormitory: "At this juncture, our dark stake in the Ling family has been uprooted again, and years of hard work have been in vain, what will we do in the future?" What is going to happen to Luan?! That dead girl in Changle Palace is so strong, if the Ling family doesn't fall, even if Ah Luan successfully ascends the throne, I won't be able to sleep peacefully! ”

"What are you afraid of!" Feng Qiongshuo sneered slightly: "The five princesses won the battle, and General Haiying personally asked for credit for her, if we seem to be too ignorant of current affairs, Your Majesty is afraid that you will be unhappy." You blow the wind with Your Majesty tonight, and let her praise the Five Princesses, and I will write tomorrow to ask for the title of the Five Princesses. ”

"Please seal?!" Feng Qiao Ning looked at his mother in shock: "Mother! Are you crazy?! What do you want to seal for the Five Princesses? Throne? How can that be! His Majesty's royal daughters are not very old, and they have not yet been crowned kings, how can they let the little cubs of Changle Palace take the lead?! The first prince, shouldn't it be Ah Luan? Ah Luan is the concubine! ”

"Don't be so short-sighted!" The teacup in Feng Qiongshuo's hand was slammed on the table with a bang, and the saucer and bowl were shaken: "Our Seventh Highness will be a princess in the future!" What does it matter if the king is a little earlier or a little later! ”

"But mother, Ah Luan ...... now" Feng Qiao Ning still looked angry, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Feng Qiongshuo.

"That's it! I know what you're going to say" Feng Qiongshuo's mouth showed a sly sneer: "There is nothing wrong with the fifth princess becoming the first princess to be crowned king, after being crowned king, you still have to have a fief decent, I think Qincheng is very good!" The five princesses can fight well, and it is perfect to guard the border for Your Majesty! ”

"That's what Mother said!" Listening to Feng Qiongshuo's words, the queen Feng Qiao Ning quickly calmed down, he sat back in his chair with a graceful posture, and said with a smile: "Compared with the general with a foreign surname, His Majesty must be more at ease when the prince leads the troops to the border." ”

"Exactly!" Feng Qiongshuo glanced at his son approvingly: "Don't think about anything else, just take care of the Seventh Imperial Daughter, don't let her get drunk and dream all day long, don't always stare at Changle Palace, it is logical for the crown prince to establish a long heir, and there is an eldest daughter in Beijing!" ”

Qian Qian didn't know about these things in Jingzhong, but although she didn't see it, she could probably guess about it. She knew that Jin Haiying wrote to ask for merit for her, she led people to attack the Hun camp at night, beheaded four Hun generals in one go, burned grain and grass, and suffered heavy losses, and the Huns withdrew on the second day.

According to Jin Haiying's analysis, the Xiongnu Shan Yu personally led troops to besiege Qincheng, but lost almost half of the generals, and she may face a lot of pressure when she goes back. At this time, I am afraid that the Xiongnu will be chaotic for a while, and it will not be able to slow down for three or five years, and in the next few years, there will probably be no large-scale attack by the Xiongnu.

Sure enough, not long after the Xiongnu retreated, news of the Xiongnu civil strife came from the west. This is of course great news! Jin Haiying didn't dare to delay, and immediately went to the table to ask the empress to show it. Zhongli Fengyi was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Yanggu Pass to unite with the defenders of Qincheng to counterattack the Xiongnu.

In this way, Qian Qian began his whole year of turbulent conquest career, and by the winter of the second year, they had recovered the four cities occupied by the Xiongnu before, and pushed the defense line of the dynasty forward for more than 700 miles.

In the early spring of the second year when she arrived at the border of Qincheng, Qian Qian received the will of the king. She became the first of Zhongli Fengyi's six daughters to be crowned king.

However, to Feng Qiongshuo's surprise, although Zhongli Fengyi gave Qian Qian the title of king and the majestic title "Wucheng", he only gave the title and did not give her a fief. Feng Qiongshuo knocked on the side and asked once, Zhong Li Fengyi meant that the fief was not in a hurry, and he would wait for it, but what exactly was waiting for, Zhong Li Fengyi did not make it clear.

This incident made Feng Qiao Ning's heart have a pimple, but he didn't have time to take care of so much at present, and the eldest daughter of the emperor was his biggest henchman now.
