Chapter 22: The Birth of the Dragon (12)

A few days later, Jiang An, the prince of Donglai, returned from the Valley of the Dust Night.

This time, he was a little sad, and it took him a little longer than before, and it was not until the 25th that he returned. Time passes, when hatred and dreams are gradually submerged in the turbid world, who can leave the world independent, muddy and fragrant? The vows made when I was young gradually passed by the flow of time, who can get drunk and wake up alone? The blood and fire flowed down, blinded and washed away by the rain of time, and gradually dissipated, gradually numb, and pain was the best way to maintain this sobriety. Generally speaking, a person who has a deep hatred of blood and a sea of revenge will inevitably annihilate pure goodness and incarnate as Shura. And Jiang An is a person, quite gentle, knows how to cultivate himself best, and is wise to protect himself, but he has never gone sideways.

When she returned, Princess Yaohua's health was already half better, and she had eaten a lot of water and food every day. When King Donglai saw this, his heart was naturally happy.

At this time, the situation on the frontier is becoming more and more dangerous, Qi Ning this time, step by step, 30,000 troops stationed on the Hengqin River, constantly sending envoys to negotiate the demarcation of the border, wanting to include Shidu Mountain in the territory. Although Qi Ning is known for its military force and strong national strength, Donglai is rich and strong, and its comprehensive strength can be compared with it. In this situation, if you are not completely sure, Qi Ning will send troops, but it is not the best policy. The king of Qi Ning is not an ordinary person, many years ago when he led the army with Jiang An, he knew that he had encountered an enemy in a battle, and if he did not get rid of this person, he eventually became a confidant of Qi Ning to dominate the world. Therefore, he secretly instigated people to drive a wedge between the king of Donglai and the prince, and borrowed the hand of the king of Donglai to get rid of it. Today, it seems that everything is gradually developing in the direction that King Qi Ning expected.

After General Xuanwu sent an urgent report from the border that day, Qin Lan no longer dared to delay, thinking that Qin Lingyan had been injured recently, so he called Jiang An alone to come to Yongfu Palace to discuss matters. Jiang An listened to the call, knowing in his heart that he was here for the frontier matter, but he didn't dare to shirk it and came in a hurry.

Qin Lan was leisurely in the past, standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, the Qin Xiang who was usually accompanied by his side was also retreated at this time, when Jiang An walked into the palace, King Donglai did not look back, he asked for peace for a long time, Fang Chang sighed, and let him get up.

"Do you know that the situation on the border is critical?" Qin Lan turned around, frowned, and got straight to the point.

Jiang An stood up and bowed his head, and replied respectfully, "Erchen knows." "When the future comes, I know the reason in my heart, my own expedition has become a foregone conclusion, rather than waiting for the king to speak, it is better to take the initiative to ask for help, so I gave up a sentence, "The minister is willing to go to retreat from the enemy." ”

"It's really rare for Wang Er to be so loyal!" The voice of King Donglai was light and light, but it bit the word rare very hard. When it reached Jiang An's ears, it had a special charm. He glanced at Jiang An meaningfully, and asked with a smile, "Is 10,000 troops enough?" ”

Ten thousand! Qi Ning's troops are 30,000! Less than a third of the enemy's troops! Jiang An raised his head suddenly, shocked. His face changed instantly, his lips moved, he wanted to say something, he closed his eyes, and finally closed back the words that he wanted to blurt out.

He showed such an expression, as early as Qin Lan expected, he looked down at Jiang An, condescending, "Not enough?" The voice was clear and calm, and he waved his hand slightly, "Presumably An'er also knows that Donglai's troops have been limited recently, if it is not enough, Wang Er does not have to be stingy with the strength of Dust Night Valley." ”

A slightly playful voice came into Jiang An's ears, and after the words came out, Jiang An's heart was already clear, but it was a pity that people's hearts were selfish, even if he knew that it was a countermeasure, he explained at this time, and he was only afraid that King Donglai would not listen to it, so he laughed, "The praying mantis catches cicadas, the yellow finch is behind, when the father designed his sons, didn't he think that he was already in the plot of others?" He stared at Qin Lan's eyes and said slowly, "Jiang An is not a person who spares his life, this life is saved by his father, when his father wants it, he will take it, but his son was only thirteen years old, but he was a blood feud and owed people a deep favor," he knelt down and bowed twice, his voice was sad, "Please forgive Erchen for going against his father's will this time, the country's major affairs, not giving up an inch of land, even if there is little hope, Erchen will go all out to bring back victory for Donglai." ”

When King Donglai heard this, he was slightly stunned, his eyes wandered, and then he turned around, time seemed to freeze at this moment, I don't know how long it took, I only heard him sigh, waved his hand, and motioned him to go down, "This king knows, you go down, and go on the expedition in five days." ”

The next day, the king of Donglai announced the matter from the court, everyone was in an uproar, and the clear-eyed minister did not say anything on the surface, but sneered in his heart, 10,000 troops, in the face of the fierce people, is it not in vain to die? was relatively speechless, so I had to sigh that the Wang family kept business and the struggle was cruel.

Princess Yaohua heard this, anxious, busy in the sick sent someone to invite Brother Wang to come, Jiang An saw her, but only carefully told her to recuperate, did not mention the matter of Bingqi Lemon, she asked about the troops, and then deduced that the father had his own clever plan, you can rest assured, before leaving, Shu Yao specially told a matter, that day to give the pure sea thyme, I hope that Brother Wang will take it with him every day, can protect the peace. Jiang An smiled and agreed.

Out of Princess Yaohua's mansion, he bumped into Qin Lingyan who came in a hurry, he strode into a meteor, his expression was in a hurry, thinking that he was in a hurry to visit Shu Yao, at this time, when he saw Jiang An, he immediately smiled, hugged him, and patted him twice, "You kid, just came back, you actually took a step ahead of me!" ”

Jiang An waved his hand at him, pointed to Princess Yaohua's mansion, and motioned for him not to go in, "Ah Yao is careful, it's a heart disease, Zihan has an accident, and he can't think about it for a while," he frowned, glanced at Qin Lingyan, and said with concern, "Is the injury healed?" ”

Qin Lingyan laughed and patted his body, "Look, how strong this is!" It's not once or twice that I've been beaten by the king, I'm rough and thick-skinned! As soon as he pushed Jiang An away, he was about to break into the princess's mansion, but Jiang An stopped him, shook his head and said, "Don't." Qin Lingyan was pulled by him, stunned for a moment, indignant, and pointed at him, "Mu Yu, you're not very fair, you won't let me in." Jiang An raised his hand and pulled his hand down, slyly smiling, "I don't have injuries on my body, so I won't let her worry." ”

"You!" Qin Lingyan still wanted to argue about something, but after thinking about it, Ah Yao was delicate, and often thought about a small thing very seriously, her small injury this time, in her eyes, was almost dying, if she saw that she was getting out of bed and walking around now, she didn't know what was going to happen. Thinking of this, he stopped angrily.

dispelled the idea of going to the princess's mansion, so he walked with Jiang An, and casually asked about Qi Ning's troops, Jiang An told him truthfully, after hearing this, his figure suddenly froze, his eyes were solemn, he was surprised for a while, and blurted out, "That's just death!" ”

When Jiang An heard this, he was stunned for a moment, laughed, raised his hand and pointed at Qin Lingyan, and said slyly, "Ah Ling is not kind," he pretended to be angry, "Ah Ling, you are too underestimated!" ”

Seeing him like this, Qin Lingyan also put away his solemn expression, laughed, and patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, don't worry, when the time comes, brother, I will go to save you." ”

Jiang An smiled, crossed his hands, hugged them to his chest, raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Then I really look forward to the day when I will be saved by you. ”

After speaking, the two stroked their palms and laughed. Suddenly, Qin Lingyan's gaze was a little solemn, and then he turned cunning, approached Jiang An's ear, and said lightly, "Jiang An knows that the name of the Oiran is called Perilla in the Jinliang Flower Shadow Moon, and tomorrow will come to Wanzhou Flower Shadow Moon to perform a dance?" ”

Jiang An was surprised, "You can actually hear such things in the palace?" Qin Lingyan smiled, raised his eyes to the sky, and didn't say anything.

"Okay," he waved his hand and laughed, in recent days, although the surface has been calm, but the situation in the world has already been turbulent. He traveled in the middle of the boat, suddenly encountered a downpour, turned to a waterfall, even if he had the heart, but he was unable to return to the sky. The sudden change, the suspicion of the king of Donglai, and the frequent pressure of Qi Ning, all the spearheads were directed at Jiang An. The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, life suddenly encounters a trough, although the surface is quiet, but the heart is really headache, at this time he smiled lightly, "Okay, the beautiful scenery, Jinping beauty, there is wine today, and I will be drunk overnight." ”
