In the long pavilion outside Gangneung City, a figure was waiting restlessly. When I saw a few people galloping from the direction of Gangneung City, and the people who were waiting, I couldn't suppress my excitement and stood directly in the middle of the road.

A few people who were galloping quickly saw that someone suddenly ran out of the long pavilion, and hurriedly pulled the reins, and Biluan Feng Shen and others also clenched their swords and were ready to strike at any time. When they got closer, they saw the person standing in the middle of the road clearly, Biluan jumped off the horse first, and shouted in surprise: "Ziqing, you came to see us?" ”

Lan Jing'an also jumped off the horse with a straight face: "He's not." He's afraid he's going to let you take him away. Ziqing, you sneaked here, right? How can you leave Mr. Aota at home alone like this? ”

Before Ziqing could speak, he had already been pierced by Lan Jing'an. He knew that all the methods he used to deal with Biluan and the others were not easy to do in front of An Lan. He could only walk over generously, kneel down for her, and sincerely say, "Yes, I ran out secretly." But I really want to go to the army with Sister An. ”

"Mr. always said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and I also ask Sister An to fulfill my upward heart. When I came out, my husband was in the village, and I had already left a letter for him and asked a neighbor to take care of him on his behalf. I also asked someone from the bookstore to forward another letter of mine to Mr. Zhang tomorrow, and I will never leave Mr. Zhang unattended. ”

Lan Jing'an almost wanted to support his forehead, Ziqing, this little boy is really big now, big people, and big ideas. She walked up to Ziqing and helped him up, and in less than a year, Ziqing had grown taller than her, and his voice had changed significantly.

Lan Jing'an said sternly to Ziqing: "I thought you were an understanding child, but you are also a fool. Do you think going to war is a joke? The power of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone is sometimes more powerful than an axe, a hook and a fork, do you know? Do you know why Mr. Aota cultivated you like that? ”

Ziqing's eyes were flushed with a hint of red when she was told by her, Lan Jing'an still couldn't bear it, and softened her tone: "I know that you are not playful for a while, but have great ambitions." If you really want to go to the army, it's not impossible, I will arrange for someone to take you there alone. But is losing Mr. Aota's teachings like this really what you want? There are thousands of paths to choose from in life, and I hope you can understand what you are choosing. ”

Ziqing opened his mouth and didn't say a word, he looked at Lan Jing'an's disappointed eyes, and his heart was extremely sad. Lan Jing'an didn't urge him, and waited for a long time before he heard Ziqing's difficult words: "If I go back and continue to study hard with my husband, is this what Sister An wants?" ”

Lan Jing'an replied without hesitation: "Yes." I hope that when I see you again in many years, you will be an important weapon of the country and live up to Mr. Aoda's hard work. ”

The young man, who was only a young man dancing spoons, finally spoke: "I understand. When I say goodbye to you, I'll go back. I will continue to follow him well and never let him down. ”

Lan Jing'an said with relief: "I am very happy to be able to see us off Jiangling by you. Thank you, self-clearing. But you don't have to walk back, after a while, I'll let Captain Feng ride you home. ”

Ziqing asked Lan Jing'an again: "Will you go to see Mr. next time you go to Jiangling?" ”

Lan Jing'an smiled: "Aren't you quite good on weekdays?" How can such a question be asked? Next time I come back, I will take Biluan and them to see you. I'll also ask Biluan to bring you something delicious, okay? ”

Ziqing nodded, and said reluctantly: "A word is a certainty? ”

Lan Jing'an looked at the slender young man in front of him and promised him seriously: "A word is a certainty." ”

Ziqing got Lan Jing'an's promise, and finally said to Lan Jing'an: "Ziqing hereby congratulates Sister An on her victory, and her wishes come true!" I also hope that Sister An, each and every one of you will be safe and sound, and the pain will not be touched. ”

Lan Jing'an looked at his self-clear eyes and curled the corners of his mouth: "Then I will accept your noble words." ”

After speaking, he instructed Feng Shen to send Ziqing back to the village, and then meet at the next post station. Feng Shen helped Ziqing onto the horse, and stepped on it himself. Lan Jing'an, Bi Luan and the others turned over on their horses again, waved their hands at Ziqing, whipped them, and walked away.

At this time, Xie Weining, who was going deep into the Qiang Land, had not received any news. From the imperial city of the Xia Kingdom to Jiangling, the road is eight thousand miles, and after the fine work of Jiangling left Jiangling with the news of Shangsi, he entered the Xia Kingdom, and encountered a group of mysterious people who hindered him in a thousand ways, and almost lost his life. Although the news was finally sent to the imperial city, Xie Weining, who was anxious at that time, had already taken people away, and he didn't know what Lan Jing'an was doing in Shangsi.

Yin Quan sat on his horse and complained to Xie Weining: "Master, why can't we follow the brigade?" Such a horse race, the small one can stand it, and the adult can't stand it. You say yes, right? Lord Wei. ”

Wei Miao, who was named, was out of breath and couldn't even speak: "Actually, it's also excellent to follow the team and arrive with people and gifts." ”

Xie Weining glanced at Yin Quan, and then said to Wei Miao with a smile: "It's hard work Lord Wei this time." After a few or three days' walk, you will reach the boarding place. Once we get on the boat, we can go straight to Gangneung along the waterway, so we don't have to suffer from this galloping horse. ”

Wei Miao could see that the Nine Emperor Princes were resolute, so he had to smile politely: "The old minister is not hard, he is not hard, he is just afraid that His Highness will be too tired." It's good that this makes us more sincere. ”

Yin Quan scolded indignantly in his heart: Sycophant, looking at his master helplessly, this is really iron-hearted. Xie Wei was reluctant to let Yin Quan go like this, and sent it over with a fluttering sentence, which made Yin Quan have a bitter face: "Yin Quan, you go to the front to explore the way first." ”

Yin Quan replied with a bowed head and galloped out. After running for a while, he didn't expect Xie Weining's voice to appear in his ears again against the wind: "What the Qiang people said is true?" ”

Yin Quan turned his head to take a look, and saw that only the master followed, so he lowered the speed of the horse and changed to slow down: "You shouldn't be fake." But the cadres are still holding the news. I heard that Wan Mingde is also back. ”

Xie Weining's face was gloomy, but his voice was not chaotic: "I'm really afraid of something." We will rush to Gangneung in ten days. ”

Yin Quan is now very convinced of his master's vision, but he still doesn't quite understand why his master is in such a hurry. He couldn't help but ask: "Although Xiao Qingyun transferred the heavy troops back to Liangzhou to guard against us, it is not necessarily that the big secretary will leave." Isn't there no news of their correspondence? Da Si Ming is a person who has made promises, so he should continue to stay in Gangneung, right? ”

Xie Weining's different-colored eyes were gloomy: "It's not that simple. If Xiao Qingyun wants to contact the ugly girl, there are means. The key is that the men and horses of the cadre army have been transferred back to Liangzhou, but they have kept it secret, and they must be waiting for an opportunity. And this timing, if I guess correctly, is the day when the ugly girl returns to the army and Qianyong fights again. ”

Yin Quan's heart was cold, and his words trembled a little: "Then if we pounce on us, you..." Xie Weining's face was calm: "Then I am willing to gamble and lose." ”

Yin Quan's heart was uncomfortable, and he hurriedly said: "Either I will take two people first, if the great priest is really not in Jiangling City, let Lord Wei go back quickly." ”

Xie Weining sighed: "If you care, it's chaotic." It's too late for Wei Miao to go back, from the moment my father announced the news to the Manchu Dynasty, I had already handed the handle of the knife to others, and now I can't withdraw it at all. We can only bite the bullet and take one step at a time. ”
