Chapter 255: Back to the Old Place
Early the next morning, Lan Jing'an, who had been away from his homeland for several months, finally embarked on his return journey. In addition to her personal guards and two hundred shadow guards, there was also a team of two hundred guards sent to her by Xie Weining.
Xie Weining originally wanted to send Lan Jing'an all the way out of the southwest, but Lan Jing'an refused. Her reasons are also very good, Xie Weining is too eye-catching in the southwest, and she naturally needs to be as low-key as possible. Unless Xie Weining wants to tell the world that he is in his hands, it is best for him not to send Bonan City.
Xie Weining was reluctant, but he still agreed to her. When Lan Jing'an set off, Xie Weining only rode to the gate of Bonan City, and reluctantly promised Lan Jing'an in the car: "Wait for me." I will go to Gangneung to pick you up. ”
Lan Jing'an didn't know how to tell him that he didn't plan to see him again in his life. She could only stare at him one last time before lowering the curtain, and said softly: "Cherish." ”
At the beginning, the six Xia Guo's fine works that followed Lan Jing'an and others over, one was intercepted by Liu Maung's people when he went to report to Xie Weining, and died on the road from Bonan City to Buwei; When the other five searched for Xie Weining and Lan Jing'an, they also showed their faces to Biluan and the others.
But these five people have been following Lan Jing'an and are quite familiar with her, so Xie Weining simply put them on the bright side and let them continue to follow Lan Jing'an to protect her safety. In addition, he secretly asked Lao Du to transfer a lot of fine works of martial arts to Jiangling in advance to ambush.
In response, Lan Jing'an also left five personal guards led by Xue Wei to Xie Weining. She knew that Xie Weining had a knot in mind for the shadow guard, but Xue Wei and the other guards were all people she personally selected from Xiangyang, and they had nothing to do with Brother Qingyun, so Xie Weining would definitely not refuse. With these five people, at least I can protect him a little more. In Lan Jing'an's eyes, before the restoration of the country, Xie Weining categorically could not lose his life.
No matter how many turns Lan Jing's heart turns, her itinerary is not wrong for a day. Since she could not ride a horse, even though she could reach Gangneung by boat after Gandhae, this overland journey took too long. By the time Lan Jing'an and the others boarded the ship, it was already close to Ji Xia.
This road is getting more and more prosperous, until it has passed Yufu and entered Jingzhou, which has passed thousands of green mountains. As soon as she arrived in Yufu, she asked the two hundred Xia soldiers who escorted her to go back to report to Xie Weining. At the same time, she took the big boat that came to pick her up from the cadres.
Bai Qingfeng was in Wuxian, the border city of Jingzhou, counting the day of her arrival, and deliberately waited for her at the ferry. When Bai Qingfeng saw Qiu Shaoze and Feng Shen standing on the bow of the boat waving to him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The big ship slowly docked, and Lan Jing'an stepped out of the cabin with Biluan's support. Her legs were basically in good condition, but Biluan and the others still remembered Dr. Xia's words and didn't dare to let her out of the cabin when the boat was unstable. Lan Jing'an had just arrived on the shore when she saw a few people led by Bai Qingfeng coming over to greet her.
Lan Jing'an smiled and returned the salute to everyone, and then, surrounded by everyone, she went to the county government of Wu County to rest. Lan Jing'an had a tidy up in the county office, and at the dinner, he saw everyone again.
In addition to Bai Qingfeng, Wan Mingde and Lu Min have all come over, and this battle is not small. Although Lan Jingan promised Xie Weining not to ask about military affairs, he still couldn't help but ask Wan Mingde about the northwest.
The last time Wan Mingde saw her, she was still a young girl, and she followed Dingyuan's wife Li to play with Ping'er, and when she saw him, she would simply shout Uncle Wan, and his handful of pine nuts could make her laugh so much that she couldn't see her eyes. Looking at the person in front of him again, it is really the eighteen changes of the female university, except for the vague childhood appearance in her eyebrows and eyes, the whole person is different.
Wan Mingde replied respectfully: "Please rest assured." The northwest is safe, and at present, the last general has entrusted everything to General Yan Chongyan, and Wan Ping is his deputy general. The last general led 60,000 troops this time, and 50,000 soldiers remained in the northwest, in addition, in recent years, we have recruited 50,000 people in the northwest. As long as the Xia State did not move, it was barely enough for 100,000 people to deal with Dayong and the Xiongnu. ”
Lan Jing'an smiled and said, "General Wan has arranged it very well. When General Wan is free in the past two days, the little nephew will have to catch up with his uncle. Wan Mingde hurriedly said: "The great priest is polite. ”
After Lan Jing'an asked about the northwest, she no longer asked about other military affairs, except that Bi Luan knew that she was secretly anxious because she was abiding by the agreement with Xie Weining. Everyone else thought that she was just seeing everyone for the first time today, and didn't want to rush to inquire about military affairs, so they didn't notice anything wrong.
When Lan Jing'an saw Lu Min, he thought of Zhang Xun, so he asked Lu Min about his situation. Lu Min smiled and said, "Zhang Changshi is in Jiangling. I heard that you are going to go back to Jiangling first, Zhang Changshi is very happy. None of us are his opponents except you, so you wonder how much he looks forward to playing another game with you. ”
Lan Jingan also smiled: "I won't play chess for a while, and if I play chess with Mr. Zhang again, I'm afraid that I will be disliked by Mr. Zhang." At that time, I am afraid that Mr. will frown and sigh and say, Xiaoyou, chess must not be wasted. Lan Jing'an learned Zhang Xun's tone and movements, and imitated it vividly, which made Lu Min, Bai Qingfeng and others laugh.
That night, after everyone celebrated, Bai Qingfeng saw that Lan Jing'an had arrived safely, so he handed Xiao Qingyun's handwritten letter to her. In addition to counting his thoughts about her, Xiao Qingyun's letter also made it clear that if she could successfully get out of the Xia Kingdom, the army responsible for rescuing her would be under her command.
Lan Jing'an hurriedly read it, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. Brother Qingyun treats her wholeheartedly and trusts her, but she brings him pain in the front and mistakes in the back. It was she who single-handedly created the current situation. Although Lan Jing'an smiled happily at Bai Qingfeng and the others, his heart was gray.
Lan Jing'an asked Bai Qingfeng to order the army to start tomorrow, and took the 100,000 troops stationed in Wu County to the south along the river and went to Jiangling first. Jiangling is the old capital of the big city, and it is also the inevitable transit place for the army to go north, so Lan Jing'an plans to have a showdown with Bai Qingfeng when he arrives in Jiangling, and let him take these 100,000 people to the north to help Brother Qingyun.
Lan Jing'an did these things, and she didn't hide them from Lao Du, but she needed to let Xie Weining know that she had fulfilled her promise through his hands. Similarly, once the cadres retreated from the Xia State, the Xia State should also ensure that the agreement between the two countries is valid and not embarrass the northwest side.
From Wuxian to Jiangling by boat, even if you take a large army and take the waterway, it will only take three days to arrive. On the ferry outside Jiangling City, Zhang Xun and the others had been looking forward to it for a long time, and they were all excited to see Lanjing Anju again.
After more than half a year of construction, several courtyards have been completed in the annex palace located on the foundation of the Gangneung Goddess Palace. Lan Jing'an originally wanted to live in the sacred mountain, but the buildings there had long been in disrepair and could not be inhabited at all. One of the completed palaces in the other palace was located in the apse of the former goddess palace, so Lan Jing'an moved to this new palace and named the new hall Chengjing.
The first thing Lan Jing'an did after he was settled in the Chengjing Hall was to invite Bai Qingfeng over, and told him his promise to Xie Weining alone, asking him to contact Xiao Qingyun immediately to arrange the next move of the army currently in Jiangling.
