Chapter 51: Bumping
Long Xiguo's desire to attack Feng Ming Kingdom was long after Shen Run came back from Feng Ming Kingdom and was summoned into the palace by Shen Chong, and Shen Chong asked him in detail about the situation of Feng Ming Kingdom, Shen Run had some feelings. Today in the hunting ground, when Shen Chong vaguely revealed his future plans to the crown prince and close ministers, Shen Run was sure that his feelings were correct.
Shen Run had long known that his father's ambition was not only in the Longxi Kingdom, but also in order to be able to enjoy his rights for a longer time. Father Emperor wants to be the overlord of the world, but there are still Cangqiu Kingdom and Chiyang Kingdom above Longxi Kingdom, even if his ambition is inflated, he has to suppress it, and at this time, the rise of Feng Ming Kingdom gave him a good opportunity.
Shen Run felt that his father had something to hide, and he was full of confidence in the barren Feng Ming Kingdom, just like he was determined to send troops to attack the Feng Ming Kingdom and Long Xi Kingdom would definitely not suffer, which made Shen Run feel that it was not just minerals, but his father seemed to want to get other things from Feng Ming Kingdom, as for what he wanted to get, Shen Run was not clear.
From his own point of view, Shen Run did not reject this war, if attacking the Fengming Kingdom could bring Longxi Kingdom a competitive advantage that could be comparable to the Cangqiu Kingdom and the Chiyang Kingdom, then to occupy the Fengying Kingdom, which did not even have an army, would definitely be a beneficial war for Longxi Kingdom.
He sat in the dark tent and looked at the morning light, which was already asleep.
But what should she do?
Once the two countries go to war, what will happen to her as a princess? Surviving in the enemy country as a slave to the dead country, will her father kill her? Or will she be imprisoned and put to good use of her legendary abilities?
Either way, she wouldn't stay with him anymore.
Shen Run sensed from Shen Chong's words that his father had ordered him to bring Chenguang back to China not only for her prophetic abilities, but also for the impending war.
If Chenguang was forced to use her divination ability to serve that war of aggression, she would seem weak, but Shen Run was sure that she had a strong temperament, and once she knew the truth, what would she do?
Thinking of this, Shen Run suddenly felt a little suffocated, frowned, he looked at her quiet sleeping face in the dark, and reached out his hand in a ghostly manner, his fingers just touched her soft hair, but he suddenly retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
What the hell is he doing?
He thought distraughtly.
It is Shen Run's ambition to accumulate his own power, defeat the crown prince, sit on the position of the supreme ruler of Longxi Kingdom, and lead Longxi Kingdom to the top; Marrying a smart but not too smart, virtuous and generous woman as a wife, accepting a beautiful woman who knows how to advance and retreat and knows how to take proportions as a concubine, giving birth to children, and extending the heirs, this is Shen Run's life.
His life doesn't need to be variable.
Shen Run got up from the bed and went out quietly.
On the bed, Morning Light opened her eyes and glanced at the back that disappeared behind the curtain, she pulled out her handkerchief and wiped her touched hair.
……
Spring nights, warm and cold.
The morning light wrapped itself in a tree, standing on a branch, leaning against the trunk of the tree.
Si Qian stood beside her.
"The first batch of people have crossed the border in disguise as a caravan, and the people who painted the fan hall said that as long as they can afford the silver, they can have as much as they want, and if His Highness still thinks it is not enough, they can raise it for His Highness, as long as His Highness can afford to give the silver."
"When they enter the Feng Ying Kingdom, ask Si Yujin to practice hard, I spent so much silver not to buy them back as shields. Tell Si Yujin again, just say that I am impatient, the Zheng family and the Qiao family rely on the old to sell the old to shame, and they will all be disposed of within three months, and the people who can be used in the court will be killed, and all the useless ones will be executed, and no variables will be left. Chenguang said slowly.
"Yes."
"I'm afraid that the days will be advanced, and the grain and grass will not be enough, so Chang Xi will be asked to store grain in South Vietnam."
"Yes."
"In the palace, still don't have a clue?"
"Nope. Since the last time the palace has strengthened its vigilance, in order not to startle the snake, our people do not dare to act rashly. ”
"Where's Yan Ying?"
"There was no movement. In addition, Yan Ying's side sent a total of seventeen killers, all of whom have been disposed of, and his two strongholds in Qi'an have also been cleaned up. ”
"Seventeen ......," Chenguang smiled, "Don't forget to leave some souvenirs for the National Teacher." ”
"Yes."
"Keep an eye on Yan Ying, he knows more about the palace than we do."
"Yes."
At this moment, the sound of small footsteps came, the morning light followed the prestige, not far away, a man and a woman walked through the dense forest to a tree, the man was handsome and elegant, the girl was slender and pretty, it turned out to be Lin Chao and Shen Qingran.
Morninglight sat down on the fork of the tree.
Shen Qingran hung his head and followed behind Lin Chao, the two walked under the tree one after the other, Lin Chao turned around and looked at Shen Qingran.
Shen Qingran's heart jumped.
"You dropped it during the day, I picked it up on the ground." Lin Chao stretched out his hand, and a tassel earring was lying quietly in his palm, which was the one that Shen Qingran wore every day.
Shen Qingran's heart was beating fast, and her face was even redder, but fortunately, she couldn't see clearly in the night, so she was a little relieved, she timidly stretched out her hand and took the earrings from his palm, when her fingertips inadvertently touched his palm, her fingertips trembled violently, this tremor was clearly felt by Lin Chao, and he was stunned for a moment.
Shen Qingran was so embarrassed that her cheeks were hot, she bit her lip and lowered her head deeply, her skin was trembling, and she stumbled and said:
"Xie, brother-in-law Xie, brother-in-law has nothing else to do, I'll go back first."
She said, turning to leave.
"Qingran!" Lin Chao stopped her.
Shen Qingran was shocked, and turned her head suddenly, she finally saw his face, but the moment she saw his face, she quickly lowered her head, and her heart was like a drum.
"Is there anything else to do with the eldest brother-in-law?" Her voice was like a mosquito.
"Qingran, you used to call me 'Brother Lin Chao'." Lin Chao walked over and said in a questioning tone.
As he approached, the aura that belonged to him surrounded her again, Shen Qingran was happy, but she felt bitter, especially after hearing his question, she only felt bitter to the viscera.
"Because, Brother Lin Chao is already the eldest brother-in-law." She whispered.
Lin Chao stared at the top of her hair for two breaths, then spoke softly, and asked, "Did I do something that made you unhappy, you haven't looked at me for a long time." ”
Shen Qingran's heart trembled even more, like chewing coptis, bitter and sad.
"No ......," she said, after a long silence, her voice so small that it was barely audible.
"Qingran ......" Her painful feelings seemed to be transmitted to him, Lin Chao looked at her for a while, stretched out his hand, gently placed it on her head, and touched it.
Shen Qingran trembled and stiffened for a moment, but she didn't dodge.
"Great colt," said a man dressed as a squire, and said urgently, "Princess Celestia is looking for a colt!" ”
Lin Chao and Shen Qingran were both startled, both of them were shocked, and turned their backs at the same time.
Lin Chao was blank for a moment before he came to his senses.
Shen Qingran tried her best to calm herself, she turned around, smiled unnaturally, and said to Lin Chao:
"Brother-in-law, the eldest sister is looking for you, you can go quickly."
"But you ......" Lin Chao hesitated a little.
"It's not far from here, I can go back myself." Shen Qingran said in a comforting tone.
Lin Chao was silent for a moment, nodded, suddenly stretched out his hand, touched her head again, and then turned around and followed the attendant quickly.
There was still the temperature of his palm on his hair, and Shen Qingran put his hand where he rubbed her long hair, and looked at his back and disappeared into the distance.
The wind blew, Shen Qingran couldn't help but shudder, subconsciously turned around, and the lantern in his hand fell suddenly:
"Second, the second emperor's sister-in-law ......"
