Chapter XVII: General Chungwu

The Jinnan Mansion is the largest and most magnificent courtyard house in southern Xinjiang, and there is no lack of exotic peripheral buildings that wrap the inner residence with the style of the Jiangnan water town. The boudoir of the county lord of Lanlin has three floors, and this county lord, who has been loved by thousands of people since childhood, not only has a flamboyant and domineering character, but has her mother's gentle and elegant temperament, like a spring breeze. Jinnan Gong regards her as a treasure, and she has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and she is protected in all aspects. It's just that the worried Zhan Nangong can't sleep these days, and his baby daughter who has been spoiled for seventeen years is about to leave him. Every time he thought of this, his heart was like a knife, and the hero who raised the knife secretly wiped his tears several times. The emperor's order cannot be violated, not to mention the intricate stakes involved behind this seemingly logical marriage. The emperor left Lan Lin in Beijing in order to contain the power of the 170,000-strong army of Zhannan Gong. Xu was married to Mu Lianche, and it is very likely that he took a fancy to Mu Lianche as the heir to the throne. This is undoubtedly a move to balance the powerful Liwang Mansion. He didn't want his baby daughter to be involved in this dispute, let alone marry far away from now on.

"Sir, the border city of Lincang has been harassed by the Shan army recently, and the Lincang Taishou asked us to send troops to quell the chaos." A tall and handsome young officer came to report. Zhan Nangong didn't react for a while, just sat there in a daze

"Sir? Lincang Taishou asked for troops to quell the chaos," the person who came looked up and raised his voice when he saw this

"Oh, what kind of attack?" Only then did Nangong react

"Although they were all stragglers of one or two hundred, there were as few as three or as many as five night raids in a month, and the soldiers defending the city were a little overwhelmed."

"This matter is arranged by you, send 1,000 elite soldiers to support, and be sure to quell the chaos quickly. There must be no chaos now. ”

"Yes! Sir, did something happen when you returned to Beijing this time? ”

"Hey, I guess the marriage decree will return in a few days." Zhan Nangong let out a long sigh

The man's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly asked

"Marriage?"

"Yes, the emperor wants to marry Lan Lin to Mu Lianche, the first son."

"Then congratulations to the county lord, congratulations to the lord." He said this almost without thinking

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for our father and daughter to see each other again in the future."

Yang Cheng stopped talking, and his heart fluctuated at this moment. This mighty and heroic loyal general was twenty-five years old, grew up in the army since childhood, and at the age of eighteen, he was awarded the title of Sipin Zhongwu General by virtue of his military exploits. Zhan Nangong has no children, and has been by Yang Cheng's side since he was 10 years old and has become his closest person. Since the first time he saw Lan Lin's star-like eyes, he could no longer erase them from his heart. Her eyes were always so warm and bright when she looked at him, and this warmth made him not lose his way even in the cold and bloody battlefield. For so many years, Lan Lin has been like the goddess he guarded, for that bright smile, he was invincible on the battlefield, and his wisdom and courage were unparalleled. After Duke Zhannan came back with the county lord this time, he heard the news that the county lord was about to marry far away before he could see Lan Lin. The future husband of the county lord is the first son of the moon and the breeze, and only such a character is worthy of a beautiful woman like the county lord. He should be happy for her, but he can't be happy. The thought that he might never see Lan Lin again from now on hurts.

Walking out of the Jinnan Mansion, Yang Cheng immediately went to arrange the military. I was busy until dark, and on the way back to my house, I saw a group of sneaky people in the dark, and one of them was carrying a sack.

Isn't it a thief carrying stolen goods? "Stop!" Yang Cheng shouted when he thought of this.

When the men heard the shouting, they did not stop, but jumped onto the eaves, and they did it lightly. Yang Cheng dismounted and jumped on the roof to chase. chased all the way to a clearing near a cliff, and several people saw that there was no way to escape, so they planned to fight with Yang Cheng. The prestige of General Zhongwu is not for nothing, Yang Cheng's martial arts are far above a few people, and they can't parry it in just a few rounds. In a hurry, one person opened the sack and shouted, "Stop!" Or I'll kill her! ”

Yang Cheng caught a glimpse of a woman in the sack, and although it was dark and he couldn't see her face clearly, he still recognized it as the outfit of the county lord of Lanlin. The three people who were fighting with him also found an opportunity to retreat behind the shouter when they heard the shout, and Yang Cheng was surprised, "Could it be the county lord?"

"General Yang, you shouldn't be unrecognizable to who this woman is, right?" The man asked defiantly

Yang Cheng saw the face of the unconscious woman clearly at this time, it was the county lord

"What do you want to do?"

"Humph! Luo Shuyang's old thief killed so many of our brothers, and now he has forced us to have no way out, his baby daughter is now in our hands, what do you say we want to do! Ha ha! ”

"You bastards! Let go of the county lord, I will spare you today, otherwise I will send you to see your brother today! ”

"Hmph, General Yang, we can't beat you, but you can't save your county lord!" As soon as he finished speaking, the man threw the sack off the cliff along with the others.

"County Lord!" Yang Cheng flew off the cliff almost at the same moment, he just wanted to catch the Lanlin County Lord, and he didn't think about anything else. Suddenly, someone grabbed him as he fell. Looking at the falling sack body, he stretched out his hand, but he could only see her getting farther and farther away, and his heart suddenly sank into the bottomless darkness. A handsome young man in red stood in front of him.

"Do you want to die?" Bai Xing asked

A wave of dizziness hit, and he didn't hear any questions, so he stumbled up and left.

"Where are you going?" Bai Xing helped him

"Get the fuck out of here!" Yang Cheng roared angrily and pushed away Bai Xing, who was holding him

"I saved you, if you don't thank you, just let me go?"

"Who told you to save me? Why don't you save the county lord if you are so good? The green tendons on Yang Cheng's forehead burst out, and he roared like a wild beast. It was dark in front of him and he lost consciousness

Bai Xing saw that he fainted, and he had no intention of helping, so Yang Cheng fainted and fell to the ground. Bai Xing took out a medicine bottle and gave Yang Cheng a pill before he woke up

"You, a person who practices martial arts, actually faint so easily." Bai Xing said with a little disdain

"You are good, can you go down to the bottom of the cliff to see if the county lord is she..."

"If you fall from such a high place, it will be all stones, and you won't have a chance to live, maybe even the body will be broken."

The originally tall man was curled on the ground at the moment, his head buried in his knees, his throat choked, and his body twitched.

"The general is so sad, it seems that he has a deep affection for the county lord!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! The county lord is the most gentle, kind, and noble woman in the world, and I am just one of the countless people who look up to her. She shouldn't have been like this... That's all...\\\"

"Yes, I heard that she will marry Mu Lianche soon, a pair originally made in heaven, it's a pity"

"It's all those Nanyi bastards, I will definitely break them into pieces! No, the lord's mansion is heavily guarded, and those few people have mediocre martial arts, how did they kidnap the county lord? Who are you? Yang Cheng's gaze turned blood red when he looked at Bai Xing

"I still remember that something is wrong! I am Bai Xing, the young owner of Bailu Villa. The general must not be sad, those were all fakes just now, and they were shown to the general. ”

"Fake? Acting? County Lord, is she okay? Yang Cheng's face was full of shock

"That's not the county lord at all, it's someone else pretending, and he didn't fall off the cliff. If you don't believe it, the general can go to the Jinnan Mansion now and ask if the county lord is still in the mansion. A woman appeared beside Bai Xing, it was the woman's outfit in the sack just now, her face looked like the county lord in the dark, but at this moment Yang Cheng could conclude that she was not the county lord, she did not have the noble temperament of the county lord and the star-like bright eyes. Bai Xing nodded, and the woman turned to leave

"You... Why are you teasing me like that? Yang Cheng glared angrily

"Just to determine one thing, does the general have affection for the county lord?"

"Do I have any love for you, when did Bailu Villa start to take care of these idle things?"

"I want to fulfill a pair of lovers, and I want to dissolve the marriage contract of the county lord of Lanlin."

"Dissolution of the marriage? Why? ”

"Hehe, the general doesn't need to know about this for the time being, as long as the general has affection for the county lord, I'll do the rest. Leave! After finishing speaking, Bai Xing flew away

"What a great light skill!" Yang Cheng thought to himself
