A sip of herbal tea was poured, and the cold tea flowed down her throat into her abdomen, Luo Qingluan finally calmed down, she carefully analyzed what she should do next, how to help Nalan Ye.

If you want to go out of the city to the border, it is obviously unlikely. Don't say that the front line is so critical now, if she goes to the border pass, maybe she won't be able to find Nalan Ye, but something will happen. And if this news is misspoken, then her departure will definitely cause the jealousy and displeasure of Emperor Xichu.

The only thing Luo Qingluan can do now is to wait.

Waiting for Nangong Qing to tell her new news, or ...... If Nalan Ye hadn't died, he would have told her. Now she was only looking forward to the arrival of Nalan Ye's letter as soon as possible, so that she could know what was going on and what the situation was.

I wanted to ask Yongan to inquire about the news, but Luo Qingluan only sent the Yongan Police Station to inquire about Nangongchen two days ago. Just as he was hesitating, the butler came in: "Princess, someone has brought you something, go and take a look." ”

went out to take a look, but Luo Qingluan was a little surprised, but he didn't expect it to be Yuan Xing coming.

There was a carriage behind him, the carriage was full of things, as soon as he saw Luo Qingluan, Yuan Xing hurriedly came up and saluted, and said with a smile: "Princess, these things are all brought to you by the prince." ”

When I saw the car, it was all kinds of prey, and they were all air-dried, all kinds of venison, wild boar, rabbit meat, pheasants, and so on.

Luo Qingluan had been on the border for a while before, and there were all kinds of prey in the nearby forests, and she also asked Yuan Xing to hunt and provide food for the civilians in the city. Therefore, Luo Qingluan could see at a glance that these things were indeed from the border.

Her eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped forward and grabbed Yuan Xing's hand and said, "You're all right, right?" Nalan is okay at night, isn't it? ”

Shocked by Luo Qingluan's appearance, Yuan Xing hurriedly said, "Princess, what's wrong with you?" We're all right. ”

Dai Yue said quickly: "Before, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came with the news, saying that the prince was attacked by a sneak attack, was seriously injured, and was about to die, and said something about the military emergency, so Miss is so worried, what is going on?" ”

Yuan Xing's face changed: "No, when the subordinates came down, they were all good, and there was no sneak attack." The prince is also safe and sound, how could he be seriously injured? Could it be ......?"

Could it have happened since he left?

After all, he took these prey to follow Nalan Ye's orders and came to Xichu Jincheng from the border, even if he was fast, it took two or three days along the way. If the war had taken place after he had gone, it would not be impossible.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xing couldn't help but worry. Fortunately, Nalan Ye has always been wise and martial in his mind, and it is absolutely impossible for something to happen, so he is not so flustered.

Not in the mood to care about those gifts, Luo Qingluan pulled Yuan Xing into the living room, and said solemnly: "Yuan Xing, tell me what happened before you left." ”

Yuan Xing nodded, and immediately told the border affairs, the matters related to defense, and even the city lord's mansion, including the situation after the epidemic.

After Luo Qingluan heard this, he was less worried, but he had more doubts.

"Princess, before the subordinates left, the defense force of the Southern Wei side was indeed a lot stronger, but they didn't sneak attack anymore recently, so the prince asked me to come back." Yuan Xing said, "Originally, my subordinates didn't want to leave, but the prince thought that he could let the princess eat some game, and he sent his subordinates to hunt in his spare time." ”

Thinking of the various prey on the carriage in the courtyard outside, Luo Qingluan's heart warmed.

It is the unique mood between her and Nalan Night.

Although he was on the battlefield, every two or three days he would always send news about him with a dark harrier book, and there would naturally be a lot of sweet talk, and sometimes he would bring some small gifts. Even if it is a bookmark made of leaves, or a few exquisite small stones, whenever Luo Qingluan receives it, she can feel that Nalan Ye misses her.

Sometimes it was a poem on the letterhead, the familiar handwriting on the letter, and she seemed to be able to feel that Nalan Night was by his side.

If she hadn't heard the news brought by Nangong Qing, Luo Qingluan would naturally be even happier when she received so many wild gifts, but now she didn't feel this mood at all, she just hoped that what Yuan Xing said was true.

There was no war, no danger, Nalan Ye was as safe and sound as before, and the entire Western Chu army was safe and sound. Before seeing the truth, Luo Qingluan couldn't be sure if anything happened after Yuan Xing left? After all, two or three days is enough time for a lot of changes.

"Princess, without further ado, my subordinates will immediately return to the border to see how the prince is doing?" Yuan Xingxing said, his face was also uncontrollable worry.

Originally, he had this plan, Luo Qingluan didn't hesitate too much, and said after thinking about it: "Okay, Yuan Xing, you pay more attention to your safety." Don't let people find out, if something happens, you take care of yourself first. ”

Yuan Xing hugged his fists and said: "It's the princess, then the subordinates will leave." ”

Looking at Yuan Xing's departing figure, Luo Qingluan suffered from gains and losses.

……

The controversy above the court made the six gods of the Western Chu Emperor have no owner.

I thought that with Nalan Ye sitting on the border, it would be impossible for the Southern Wei Dynasty to join forces with North Vietnam to advance half an inch. Unexpectedly, Lian Nalan Ye, known as the god of war in Western Chu, was also attacked by a sneak attack, and now he is seriously injured and his condition is unknown.

The ministers were naturally divided into two factions, one for peace and the other for battle. The argument is red-faced and red-eared, and it is inextricable.

Led by Song Qian, the secretary of the military department, it was actually the Lord He, what he meant was that since even the god of war Nalan Ye could not do anything, then even if Western Chu sent more troops, it would be in vain, and he could only be sent to death. Now that Western Chu is under a joint attack by the Southern Wei and North Vietnam, the best way is to sue for peace. No matter what conditions the Southern Wei Dynasty requires, as long as it agrees, it will naturally be safe.

However, it was the Wenchen faction that fought the main battle, and Wang Hongjian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, scolded Song Qian bloody: "The King of Chu and my Western Chu soldiers are in danger, the situation is critical, you don't want to retreat the army, and you want to endure and sue for peace here, it is simply a loss of our face and dignity of Western Chu!" Your Majesty, this must not be done! ”

Emperor Xichu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, didn't know which side to listen to, and the day before yesterday he had sent 50,000 elite soldiers to reinforce him, hoping that it would have an effect. It's just that this mere 50,000 wants to defeat the alliance of Southern Wei and North Vietnam, at least 200,000 troops, which is simply impossible, and it is estimated that they can only be sent to death.

In the past two nights, Emperor Xichu barely fell asleep, tossing and turning all night, and his mind was full of pictures of fighting on the battlefield and corpses scattered across the field. If it weren't for Nalan Ye's exploits five years ago, there would still be a glimmer of hope, he would have been like the peace proposed by the Ministry of War.

Hearing that the people of the two factions were arguing in the hall again, Emperor Xichu had a headache.

At this time, the crown prince Nangong Qing stood up and arched his hand: "Father, the son is willing to lead 100,000 troops to the border to support the king of Chu." ”

Song Qian immediately trembled and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is not possible...... It's too dangerous. ”

Emperor Xichu frowned: "Emperor, I am very pleased that you have this heart, but this matter is not trivial, you must not be willful." ”

Nangong Qing is his most satisfied son, or the future of Xichu, how can he let his son easily get into danger?

Nangong Qing didn't flinch, and said seriously: "Father, have you forgotten the batch of armaments that your son told you before?" ”

Emperor Xichu's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered.

At this time, Nangong Yu also stood up: "Father, what the eldest brother said is that Erchen has been supervising the construction of armaments with the eldest brother recently, and at present, 10,000 swords have been successfully built and will be put into use immediately." It's just that the eldest brother is the crown prince, so he can't easily get into danger. If the father agrees, please allow the child to lead the army to support the king of Chu. ”

The two sons are equally excellent, and Emperor Xichu is relieved and embarrassed, and he also has endless worries.

He had already seen the sharpness of this batch of armaments, and if he could put them on the battlefield and take them by surprise, he might really be able to get good results, and he could turn defeat into victory.

Just as Emperor Xichu was also moved, the fifth prince Nangong Chen stood up, bowed down and said: "Father, although the eldest brother and the second brother have the heart to serve the country, they can't think it through after all. There is a more convenient and safe way, so why risk it yourself? ”

Emperor Xichu's eyes lit up and asked, "Emperor, do you have any clever plans?" ”

Nangong Chen smiled faintly: "Back to my father, it's not that my sons have any clever plans, but that someone wants to share their worries for my father." ”

Emperor Xichu hurriedly said, "Who is it?" ”

"It's Princess Duanrou."

Everyone was shocked, and suddenly remembered that Xiao Ningyu, the Duanrou princess of Dongwan Kingdom, was still in the capital. It's just that because of the urgency of the war, everyone forgot about her.

Nangong Chen said: "The princess also knows about the King of Chu, and knows that Western Chu is in an urgent situation now. She is waiting outside the palace, if her father is interested, Princess Xuanduanrou can enter the shop hall for a while. ”

Emperor Xichu nodded, and Gonggong Li immediately pulled his throat and said, "Princess Xuanduanrou has come to see you." ”

Everyone saw the graceful figure Shi Shiran walking into the hall, and Xiao Ningyu at this time became so mysterious in the eyes of the ministers of Western Chu.

"I've seen His Majesty Xichu." Xiao Ningyu said softly and bowed down.

"Princess, please." Emperor Xichu said, "I don't know what the princess has to do, please tell me quickly." ”

Xiao Ningyu smiled slightly, her stunning face was like a peony in full bloom, graceful and noble: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten?" When I came to Western Chu in this palace, my father once said that as long as Your Majesty is willing, my 100,000 troops in Dongwan can help Western Chu resist Southern Wei and North Vietnam at any time, as long as Your Majesty ......"

Naturally remembering this, Emperor Xichu was a little surprised, "Could it be that the princess means ......?"

Xiao Ningyu nodded, a trace of shyness flashed on her face: "Yes, Ning Yu has been in love with the King of Chu all his life, as long as His Majesty is willing to promote the marriage between Ning Yu and the King of Chu, Ning Yu will immediately send a letter to his father and send an army of 100,000 to support Western Chu." ”

"But...... The king of Chu ...... now" Hearing this news, Emperor Xi Chu inexplicably let go of some hearts, but said with some embarrassment, "The princess wants to know the news, a few days ago, the king of Chu was attacked by the Southern Wei Dynasty and was seriously injured, and now his life and death are uncertain. Even if I agreed to the princess, but in case the king of Chu ......"

Xiao Ningyu's face was straight, and she said solemnly: "As long as Your Majesty is willing to agree, even if King Chu has any problems, Ning Yu will never complain." A person who is the king of Chu is the ghost of the king of Chu when he dies. ”

"Good! Good! ”

The Emperor of Western Chu patted the dragon chair and laughed: "The princess is really affectionate and righteous, if the King of Chu can marry a wife like you, it will be in vain in this life." ”

Hearing this, Nangong Qing suddenly became anxious and interjected: "Father, this matter must not be allowed. Not to mention the King of Chu, what is his situation? Even if it's the princess of Chu......"

"Big brother, what you said is not right."

Nangong Chen suddenly interjected, "Now is the state affair is important, and the safety of Xichu is a critical moment, since Princess Duanrou is willing to help me Xichu, as long as the king of Chu marries the princess, the crisis of my Xichu will naturally be solved." Thinking about it, the King of Chu is willing to know, if the princess of Chu understands the righteousness, she should also do this! ”
