There was a bonfire outside the tent, but there was a strange dullness, and the slightest wisp of barbecue aroma came into the tent, which was slightly thick and had no appetite.

Ming Chenyuan opened the curtain, walked in with a plate of roast lamb legs, and persuaded Wei Nong: "Princess, eat a little." ”

"I've been eating in the mountains for a few months, and I'm tired of eating." Wei Mian sat lazily on the felt carpet, his eyes lowered and he couldn't see his expression.

It was the end of June, and twenty days had passed since Wei Nong's escape. After she took a boat to Chunfeng Ferry, she insisted on driving away the people arranged by Yuan Che and rode her horse to the 100,000 Mountains alone. She was lucky, Wang Tuo reported to Ming Chenyuan in advance, so she only had to travel for three days before she met the connector sent by Ming Chenyuan.

Rao Youjiang let Queen Jiang loosen her mouth and let her go, but the Yan army crossed the 100,000 mountains all the way, but was still plagued by poisonous insects, and nearly 1,000 people and horses were damaged. Therefore, even after the 100,000 mountains, there was no joy in the camp, but it was uncomfortably depressed.

As soon as she remembered the purpose of Ming Chenyuan's army, Wei Nong felt faintly uneasy - she was afraid to see the war.

Ming Chenyuan thought that she was for Nie Xingji, so he said again: "Your Highness has always remembered you very much, and has been secretly paying attention to you. He paused: "I have repaired the book to inform Your Highness, and he will personally come to the Yanjiang border to pick you up." You rest here for a few days, and I will send you back. ”

Wei Nong didn't answer, but asked, "How is my master?" ”

"Mr. Ji was originally going to leave after the New Year, but he had an illness after the New Year and just came back. Later, when I heard about you, I decided to stay. Ming Chenyuan said truthfully: "His Royal Highness renovated his former villa and gave it to Mr. Ji to live in, and also gave him a maid. Very thoughtful, you can rest assured. ”

Master is sick! Wei Nong felt guilty in his heart. In the past, the ranger Ji Feng was famous all over the rivers and lakes, but now he is close to the ear, and his body bones must not be as good as before. As an apprentice, not only did he not serve the decoction, but he was worried about him everywhere......

When Ming Chenyuan saw the slightly thick expression, he knew that she was uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but comfort a few words, and then proposed: "Your Highness came from Jingzhou, and it will be nearly a month to say the least, you ......"

"Don't let him come," interrupted Weinong, "I can't go back just yet." ”

Not going back? Ming Chenyuan was anxious when he heard this, and was about to open his mouth to persuade again, when he heard her say calmly: "I want to go to Cangyu City to meet Queen Jiang." ”

*****

As for Wei Nong's whereabouts, Ming Chenyuan didn't dare to make a decision in private, so he had to send a letter to Nie Xingji for instructions. It happened that the Yan army had a loss when it crossed the 100,000 mountains, so he simply rested here, and waited for Nie Xingji to show him by the way.

Half a month later, the flying pigeon passed the book to Ming Chenyuan, saying that the situation in Jiang Guo had changed, and the situation in Cangyu City was unclear, so it was best to let Wei Nong return as originally planned.

The reason why Wei Nong wants to go to Cangyu City is that he wants to determine what the parchment roll is, and the other is that he wants to tell Queen Jiang about the Tibetan place of the national policy, so that he can make a break from then on, and he will not owe anything. But she also knew that it was too dangerous to go to Cangyu City now, and it was not a good time, so she changed her words and said that she was willing to go back to Yan Country first, and she would wait for Nie Xingji to meet her at the border of Yan Jiang.

Because Nie Xingji's journey was long and her distance was close, she was not in a hurry to rush to the agreed place, but wanted to stay in the Yan army to help. She used the knowledge she had read in that medical book to discuss prescriptions with military doctors, improving the use of drugs for trauma, doubling the rate at which she stopped bleeding and building muscles. This is undoubtedly a great blessing for the soldiers, and she has also won a good reputation among the Yan army, and the soldiers are asking each other where the "proficient in medicine, gentle and beautiful" girl is sacred.

When Wei Nong heard the evaluation of these eight words, he almost laughed, and said with a smile to Ming Chenyuan: "These eight words, not a single word is talking about me." ”

Ming Chenyuan saw her go to the military camp to take care of the wounded, and at that time, she said that the head of trauma treatment was the way, and the person was also very gentle and kind, in fact, this reputation could not be more appropriate. But he would not say it.

"After so many years, I didn't know that the princess actually knew how to heal?" He asked, confused.

Wei Nong didn't want to lie to him, and he didn't want to tell him the truth, so he had to say ambiguously: "After wandering around for so many years, I have always encountered some strange people and strange things, but I will learn the method of treating external injuries by fate, as for the rest, I don't know anything." ”

Ming Chenyuan thought of the days when Wei Nong was wandering outside, and thought of Nie Xingji's bitter lovesickness, and couldn't help but sigh: "You and Your Highness are both torturing themselves and each other. Since I have returned this time, I implore you to stay in Gyeongju. ”

Wei Nong looked at him for a moment: "This is what he asked you to say?" ”

"No, it's my own meaning." Ming Chen hurriedly explained: "Your Highness's appearance over the years...... He is twenty-seven years old, and if he doesn't mention ascending the throne and not talking about concubines, won't you be moved? ”

Slightly lowered his eyes and was silent.

Ming Chenyuan said again: "Besides, the situation is chaotic now, and your identity is special, and you are traveling abroad...... It's just not safe enough. ”

He is very good at phrasing, and he uses the word "travel", which can be regarded as giving her enough face.

Wei Nong's eyes showed a gloomy color, and he said honestly: "This time is different from the past, in the past, I could let go of my arrogance and make the world my home." But now, I have no way out except to go back to Yan Kingdom. ”

Ming Chenyuan immediately looked happy when he heard this, although he knew that it shouldn't be, but he still hurriedly smiled and asked, "Then will you leave in the future?" ”

"The troubled times have come to pass, I am from Yan Kingdom, where else can I go?" Wei Nong asked calmly.

Mingchen was greatly excited, excited for Nie Xingji! However, this excitement lasted only a moment, and was replaced by another annoyance: the Yan army marched slowly, and the casualties continued to mount. If they really go to the battlefield and get killed or wounded, the grievance is that they haven't started a war with Ning and Jiang at all, and they are already in a passive situation!

The reason is that this time they came under the banner of receiving people, and Queen Jiang allowed them to let go, and they did not let the army resist. However, Jiang Ren was extremely alert, and as soon as he saw the Yan army entering, many people spontaneously organized resistance. In line with the principle of "not hurting the people", Ming Chenyuan repeatedly tolerated it, but the Jiang people became more and more courageous, and even began to attack each other with Gu worms.

If the Yan army resists, it will naturally win, but the army and the people will resist, and the infamy will definitely be memorized; But if you don't resist, you can only watch the Yan army suffer losses again and again......

Ming Chenyuan was troubled by this.

Wei Nong has been in the Yan army for more than half a month, and naturally she has seen some clues, on the one hand, she admires Mingchen Yuan for being upright and well-governed, and on the other hand, she is also struggling, whether she should support Yan Guo's invasion of Jiang Guo.

"General Ming is really here to attack Jiang Guo this time?" She couldn't help but ask.

"To be precise, don't let Jiang Guo fall into the hands of Ning Guo." Ming Chenyuan explained: "Jiang Guo has always been a buffer zone between Yanning, once Jiang Guo falls into the hands of the enemy, we will be very passive. ”

Wei Nong didn't know much about military strategy, so he just asked: "Does this battle have to be fought?" There's no other way? ”

"You also said that 'troubled times have come to pass', and within ten years, Yanning will have a war. Rather than being attacked by the enemy at that time, it is better to turn the passive into the active and take down Jiang Guo first. ”

Wei Nong had to be silent when she heard this, or rather, she found that she was really powerless to stop anything. In this case, as a native of Yan Guo, how can she continue to sit idly by? Do you want to watch the defeat of Yan Kingdom for the sake of so-called private feelings?

No, she can't!

"Jiang Ren is brave, and now he has repeatedly provoked, do you have a way to get out of the predicament?" Wei Nong still asked.

Ming Chenyuan sighed: "Not yet, I have already repaired the book and asked His Highness for instructions." ”

"I don't know the art of war, and I can't help, but I once read a book about it...... Do you want to listen? ”

Ming Chenyuan didn't have much hope at all, after all, Wei Nong didn't know the art of war. But he couldn't refuse directly, so he had to ask perfunctorily: "What way?" ”

Wei Nong carefully recalled the shocking glance she had when she flipped through the "National Policy", and asked hesitantly: "Jiang Guo is the barrier between Yan and Ning, so once Ning Guo wins Jiang Guo, he can drive straight to Yan Guo, right?" ”

Ming Chenyuan nodded, and his heart was even more invigorated. Wei Nong can't even understand such a simple thing, so what's the use of coming up with an idea?

However, Wei Nong was very serious: "In this case, we might as well use the banner of 'aiding Jiang' to ensure that Jiang State is not annexed by Ning State, so as to gain the trust of Jiang people, do you think this idea works?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Wei Nong blew up his shortcomings again: "First make sure that the people of Jiang Country are not hostile to the Yan army, but I don't know what to do next." ”

Ming Chenyuan seemed to understand: "You mean, let's take the opportunity to win over Jiang Ren?" Let them help fight against Ningguo? ”

Wei Nong shook his head: "It's not 'wooing', it's 'aiding Jiang'." 'Resist Ning and Aid Jiang' is the slogan, the purpose is to protect Jiang from being annexed by Ning. ”

Ming Chenyuan frowned: "But in this case, we can't attack Jiang Guo anymore, otherwise we will be going back on our word and destroying our reputation." ”

Sighing slightly: "That's why I said, I didn't think about it later." Jiang State will definitely not be permanently independent, it will either be destroyed by the Ning State or annexed by the Yan State. But I think that since the Ningjiang Alliance exists in name only, and Ningguo has reversed itself, can it make a big fuss about this? Well, it can sow discord. But how to provoke Jiang people to lean towards Yan Guo, I don't understand. ”

Ming Chenyuan heard this, but his eyes lit up. Although the slightly thick method is immature, it gives a good direction! Maybe careful planning is a good way to get out of this situation! What's more, it can also allow them to capture Jiang Guo in one fell swoop and win another reputation!

Ming Chenyuan immediately asked, "Which book did you read this method from?" ”

For the sake of prudence, Wei Nong asked rhetorically: "Why, Wang Tuo didn't tell you?" ”

"You mean...... What did you see in those collections? ”

It seems that Nie Xingji didn't hide it from Ming Chenyuan, he breathed a sigh of relief, and replied truthfully: "I just took a cursory glance, and I happened to see this method." ”
