Chapter 171: Threat (Part II)

Northwest Frontier

The west wind whistled in the sand, and the soldiers guarding dutifully stood on duty, but the figure was a little shaken by the wind and sand, and the rough sand accompanied by the west hit the face of the man, which was more painful than the knife cutting the flesh.

The guards raised the tent curtains, and Jin An flashed into the tent around the thick felt.

In the tent, Bai Qiuran was huddled by the stove to keep warm, and even so, he was still shivering.

Baili Yu surrounded Bai Qiuran and stomped his feet in a hurry: "Your shoes are soaked, and you are going to freeze to death!" Take it off, I'll warm your feet! โ€

Bai Qiuran's face turned pale, but he still didn't move, but glanced at Baili Gardenia viciously: "So many people are watching!" โ€

Baili Gardenia was also in a hurry, and went up to tear off Bai Qiuran's boots without saying anything, seeing that the frozen red feet were full of distress, he tore open his clothes and put Bai Qiuran's feet on his waist and abdomen to warm them, and suddenly felt cold in his heart, and shivered fiercely, but he still didn't let go of Bai Qiuran, but smiled stupidly: "Look at me and say it's frozen, you still don't listen!" โ€

Bai Qiuran's face was crimson, he glanced at the guards next to him, he moved his feet embarrassedly, he didn't break free after all, it was strange to say, in the past, he was in the army, and he was not embarrassed to eat and live with those soldiers, let alone think about the defense of men and women, but now he can't help but care about these, Bai Qiuran found that he could be so hypocritical for the first time.

"I haven't washed for three days, and you're not dirty."

"Hehe, my own family, don't dislike it."

Bai Qiuran pursed her lips and smiled, without words.

Baili Yu continued to say: "I just said that I must follow this trip, if you don't know how to practice your body, what do you know, the girl is affected by the cold and conceived, you want me to be the last!" โ€

"Poofโ€”" The seven-foot bearded man standing next to him finally couldn't help laughing.

"You!" Bai Qiuran asked himself if he didn't have the same concentration or thick skin as Baili Gardenia, and he kicked Baili Gardenia aside with a force under his feet.

Baili Yu sighed twice and threw his body to the side, but his feet holding Bai Qiuran still did not relax at all, and he was firmly protected by his waist.

Jin An entered the tent and saw this scene, and sighed funny and helplessly.

"Your Highness!" The cheeky man stood up and said goodbye.

Jin An nodded and walked to his seat: "You have worked hard with General Bai this time, and the general will report the affairs during the period to me, so you can go down and rest." โ€

The man saw that Bai Qiuran and the two of them had already been a little unbearable, and when he heard this, he was like being amnestied, and retreated with his fists clenched.

Jin An sat on the top, glanced at the two people below, and quipped: "Now that the two armies are fighting, the situation is urgent, and everyone dare not come out. โ€

According to Baili Gardenia's poor temperament, he would inevitably reply a few words, and when the words came to his mouth, he thought of the situation of Jin'an and Bo Yan, and swallowed back the sarcastic words, and said: "Fortunately, I came with me, otherwise how would I know that you treat my daughter-in-law so badly." โ€

"You calculate how much military ration you have eaten first, since you are incompetent, you can only let Xiaobai do your share of the job," Jin An was unforgiving, and turned his head to look at Bai Qiuran: "You have worked hard this time." โ€

When it came to business, Bai Qiuran also put away his smile, pulled his foot back from Baili Gardenia's arms, and said, "Yes, there is nothing hard or hard." โ€

"What can you see?"

Bai Qiuran sighed: "The northwest side used all their strength this time to surround the entire pass like an iron bucket, and it was clear that they wanted to carry it to the end with us, and it would never be possible to break through." โ€

Jin An stared at the map on the table, his eyes narrowed, he had already guessed this, the northwest was looking at this time to hit the Western Jin Dynasty at any cost, such a desperate bet, it was really difficult to deal with.

"There are not many chances of attacking us on the surface, and this is on the border, and the emperor's reinforcements have not yet arrived, so I am afraid that it will not last too long." Bai Qiu's face was full of sadness.

"The enemy has 100,000 and our army has 50,000, the difference is very huge." Baili Gardenia also said with a straight face.

Jin An's face was also cold, and he thought for a moment: "The waterway to the east may go?" โ€

Bai Qiuran shook his head: "The northwest side is already full of yellow sand, and that waterway is too narrow to go out." โ€

Jin An was silent, thinking with his eyes down.

Bai Qiuran lowered his head and began to put on his boots, thought for a moment and said softly: "But this time I inquired about other things." โ€

Jin An raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Qiuran.

"Hmm...... The king of the Northwest has a half-brother, did you know? โ€

Jin An pondered: "Half-brother? It seems that there is such a person, but wasn't he expelled from the imperial city by the current king a few years ago? โ€

Bai Qiuran nodded: "That's right, the king of the northwest let him go in the name of letting him take charge of other places, and to put it bluntly, he won and drove people away." โ€

He ...... What's wrong? Jin An asked.

Bai Qiuran said: "I found out that the throne of the king of the northwest was snatched by an unjustifiable name, and the first emperor originally wanted to pass on the throne to his brother, but now the king has used a trick to kill the first king and rob the throne." โ€

"Kill your father!" Baili Yu's face was full of surprise and cried out.

"He did this in the dark, but someone knows the inside story, the eldest prince had no power at the beginning, he was forced to leave, it is really not easy to save his life for so many years, I heard that he intends to regain the throne, I heard that he is training in secret, but with his current situation, he can't do anything in ten or eight years."

"Secret training? If it's a secret, how can you easily find out? Is this message accurate? Jin An grasped the point of his words.

Bai Qiu dyed a choke.

Baili Yu also catered to him: "Yes, this matter should be private, how can you know it easily?" โ€

Bai Qiu glanced at Baili Gardenia: "I naturally have a way!" โ€

Baili Yu shrank his neck and closed his mouth.

Bai Qiuran looked at Jin An, his face was pale, and his eyes dodged a few times and said, "Hmm...... You also know that I am stationed at the border all the year round, so I naturally have some of my own connections, so I can inquire about this, but you can rest assured, the news is absolutely true! โ€

Jin An raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Qiuran: "Then, the purpose of you telling me this is ......"

Bai Qiuran was stunned for a while, and hesitated for a while: "Hmm...... I guess it's going to work for you. โ€

Jin An hooked his lips: "It's a little useful, have you figured out how to use it?" โ€

Bai Qiuran's eyes rolled: "I thought it should be to cause the two to fight!" Let's sit back and enjoy it! โ€

Jin An leaned back for a while: "Well, yes, that's the truth, and then what?" How? โ€

"Specific ......" Bai Qiuran said with a bitter face: "Si Nian, aren't you embarrassed for me, you have always known that I can't do without military advisors when I march and fight." โ€

Jin An hooked his lips and smiled: "Yes, it's hard for you, it's not easy to inquire about this." โ€

Bai Qiuran nodded, a little weak-hearted, and continued: "Xiaoxiao, I brought it back for you, so have you figured out what to do?" โ€

"I have heard of the reputation of the great prince earlier, and he is the most tolerant, and has always advocated that peace is precious, and if he is in charge of the northwest and inhales, it will certainly not be the scene it is now."

"You mean, we can help him?" Hundred miles of gardenia road.

Jin An shook his head: "Help should also pay attention to how to help, we can't show our weakness, let him ask for us, and save the future He will be the king and disobey the control." โ€

"Then you want ......"

"Wait until I think about it."

Baili Yu and Bai Qiuran glanced at each other and nodded.

Jin An said a few words to the two of them and left, and before leaving, he told Bai Qiu to cultivate his life and cultivate well, and not to fall into any diseases.

Bai Qiuran watched Jin An leave, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't know what he thought of, chagrin and sigh.

Baili Gardenia looked at Bai Qiuran inexplicably: "What are you doing?" โ€

Bai Qiuran pursed his mouth, thought for a moment and shook his head firmly: "Entrusted by others!" But I always feel uneasy. โ€

Baili Yu glanced at her: "Are you guilty because this news was told to you by Bo Yan, and you didn't tell the truth to Jin'an?" โ€

"How do you know!" Bai Qiuran was shocked.

"Do you think you're well disguised?" Baili Yu glanced at Bai Qiuran helplessly.

Bai Qiuran was a little embarrassed: "Isn't it good?" โ€

Baili Yu sighed: "What kind of love are the three of us, you have never lied, although you are brave when you march and fight, but you always ask the military advisor to make a decision, how can you suddenly think of this, besides, you know what others don't know?" Find an excuse and find a better one, and it is more convincing to push it on your military advisor than to stop it. โ€

Bai Qiuran pursed his lips: "You know again, but ...... I heard that the situation on Zhao Guo's side was not good, and Bo Yan also took the time to help Jin'an plan, and specially arranged for people to trek through mountains and rivers to spread this message, and I thought of the two of them...... Hey, I really don't want to lie to Si Nian. โ€

"Don't worry, Si Nian must have seen it."

Bai Qiuran looked at Baili Yu in surprise, a little frustrated: "My performance is so bad." โ€

"I've guessed it, not to mention him, Bo Yan returned to Zhao Country and we all know that there are many sufferings, and the two of them are ......."

"But Si Nian didn't keep her after all, Bo Yan went, the fate of the two was broken, and there was no reason to marry back, not to mention anything else, the emperor and the queen would definitely not agree, not to mention...... I don't know what happened to Bo Yan's side. โ€

At the mention of this, the two of them sighed helplessly.

Baili Yu said: "Let's take a look, Si Nian's invitation to go on the expedition this time is also unexpected, maybe he has some success." โ€

"What's the matter, I've been angry with him, I just let Bo Yan go back like that, didn't you see that when I was separated from Bo Yan, Bo Yan was still thinking about him before leaving, he was good! For so long, have you mentioned a thin rouge! We can still take care of each other here, poor Bo Yan is alone in Zhao to deal with jackals, tigers and leopards, hum, and wait for him to marry again in the future, I have to beat the bride out with a stick! โ€

Baili Yu hugged Bai Qiuran, whose eyes were red: "I think he is also bitter in his heart, the fate of the two of them, and look at it, the important thing is to get through this." โ€
