In the first month of the new year, the Yan army returned from camp, and the victorious army was mighty, crossing the first rut mark on the land of Kyushu. When he came, there was only Yan Jun, and when he returned, there were more Weinong and Liankuo.

Nie Xingchen originally wanted to ride in the same chariot with Wei Nong, but considering Wei Nong's reputation, he didn't bring it up, and he knew that this idea would be in vain.

Since Queen Jiang's death, Wei Nong seems to have changed as a different person, not sad or self-blaming, but she was in a trance all day long, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The first day of the return trip was the fifth day of the first lunar month, and at night, the Yan army camped and rested, and Nie Xingji personally went to each camp to drink and greet the New Year with the soldiers, and he was already slightly drunk at this moment.

Ming Chenyuan helped him back to the main tent, served him and drank the sobering soup, and then hesitated to ask: "Except for a few military prostitutes, there are no maids in the camp, do you want the princess to come and take care of you?" ”

Nie Xingji covered his forehead with one hand, and seemed to think for a while: "No need, I'll be a ...... How is she feeling today? ”

"The mood is fine, she went to the military doctor at noon to ask for several wound medicines." Ming Chenyuan reported truthfully.

"Wound medicine?" Nie Xingji was puzzled: "No one is injured, what does she want to do with the medicine?" ”

Ming Chenyuan shook his head: "I don't know, the princess also eats very little for dinner, and she looks thoughtful." ”

Today is the first day of return, and Nie Xingji has to personally inquire about matters big and small, so he has no time to take care of Wei Nong. After Ming Chenyuan said this, he suddenly felt a little uneasy, so he got up again and said, "I'll go see her." ”

Ming Chenyuan stopped talking and stopped: "Maybe...... The princess has slept. ”

Nie Xingji glanced at him: "You just said that you want her to take care of me, so you don't worry about her sleeping?" ”

Ming Chenyuan was blocked for a moment, and stumbled: "Well, Your Highness......"

Nie Xingji saw through his thoughts: "What? Are you afraid that I will do something that is not as good as a beast? ”

Ming Chen didn't dare to admit it, but he didn't deny it, so he could only remind him: "You have to pay attention to the impact, this is in the barracks after all...... She came and you came over, and it was completely two different meanings......"

Wei Nong came to take care of Nie Xingji, there was a fair and honest reason, even if something happened, the woman took the initiative; And Nie Xingjian explored the tent at night, and the woman was still a former brother and sister-in-law, no matter how you look at it, it will be a matter of words, which will damage the reputation of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent for the next generation.

Nie Xingji was simply ridiculous when he heard this: "I've been waiting for so many years, and I can't ruin this moment and a half." With that, he stepped out and went straight to the tent of Weinong.

*****

As he expected, the tent was brightly lit, and it was still not resting. He shouted outside, and Wei Nong ran out to support him, frowning and saying, "You drank too much." ”

Nie Xingji also knew the smell of alcohol in his body, so he deliberately pretended to be drunk and leaned against her: "Help me in." ”

Wei Nong didn't ask much, but helped him into the tent with difficulty, and the two sat on the felt carpet. She poured him another cup of tea before asking, "Is there something wrong with coming here so late?" ”

Nie Xingji held the teacup and drank it all before saying, "I heard that you don't belong to your mind today, I'll come and take a look." ”

"I don't have a mind that I don't belong to," Wei Nong pointed to a medical book and a national policy in the corner, "I can't figure out something, and I'm looking for the answer to the book." ”

Nie Xingji looked over and saw two books not far away, both of which were spread out. As soon as he looked at the spine of the book, he knew that it was from the forty-two volumes, so he asked, "Is there anything you don't understand that you still need to look at the national policy?" ”

Wei Nong hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "I'm wondering, why did Queen Jiang lead the Yan army into the country." Originally, I thought that she wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but Yanning fought for a few months, and we all won, and she never sent troops to fight, but committed suicide when Yunchen wanted to take her to Ningguo. Isn't that weird? ”

Nie Xingji's expression remained unchanged, and he asked her rhetorically: "With your temperament, why did you start caring about political affairs?" ”

"Because I have experienced it myself," Wei Nong showed a puzzled look, "It is precisely because of this experience that I don't understand, why didn't she send troops to resist?" Ning Yan's melee is like a snipe and a clam fighting, and Jiang Guo sent troops to reap the benefits of the fisherman. But not only did she not send troops, but she even gave up the opportunity to go to Ningguo and chose to commit suicide. ”

Wei Nong rubbed his forehead as he spoke: "What can be more important than being alive?" I really don't understand why she did that. Looking through all the national priorities, not a single word can solve my confusion. ”

Nie Xingchen looked at the slightly thick appearance, and suddenly became a little drunk, and couldn't help but hold the corner of his forehead and smile: "Books are dead, people are alive, there is no book in this world that can contain everyone's thoughts." It is also impossible to solve all the problems of governing the country with national policies. ”

Wei Nong felt a headache when he heard this: "Then tell me, what do you think?" You are in power with her, and you must be able to understand her thoughts. ”

Queen Jiang led the Yan army into the country, and then committed suicide, naturally she had her own calculations. But Nie Xingchen felt that Wei Nong was interested in politics and military affairs at the beginning, so it was better not to tell her about these dark sides, and it was better to let her feel it herself.

Thinking like this, he decided to hide those negative thoughts, and said solemnly: "As the person in power, Queen Jiang can sacrifice her life at any time for the sake of responsibility. He pointed to himself: "It's like me, I can give up everything for the sake of Yan Guo." ”

The slightly thick eyes were a little strange: "You really think so?" ”

Nie Xingji shook his head and smiled: "Don't think too badly about me, when you reach this position, with a certain height, people's consciousness will also improve." ”

Wei Nong seemed to understand a little: "Then Queen Jiang did not send troops to resist, what is it for?" For Jiang Guo? Or the state of Chu? ”

"It's for Jiang Guo, and it's for herself." Nie Xingji imparted his experience without reservation: "If she doesn't let the Yan army enter, she will watch Jiang Guo be annexed by Ning Guo, and she will become a traitor; In other words, she let the Yan army enter the country, causing Yan Ning to fight, at least to keep Jiang Guo. I think she is more reluctant to be a sinner of Jiang Guo through the ages than to be deposed, so she would rather let Yan Jun enter the country and bear the infamy herself. ”

When Wei Nong heard this, he also realized some truths, and couldn't help sighing: "It seems that I misunderstood her." ”

"You didn't misunderstand, it was indeed her selfishness that caused Jiang Guo to fall." Nie Xingji comforted: "Chu Yao has been proud all her life, let her go to Ningguo to send people under the fence, she would rather choose to die." One does not drag Yunchen down, the second can retain dignity, and the third can get Jiang Ren's forgiveness. ”

Wei Nong nodded: "I understand." I'm still too superficial and oversimplifying you. ”

"It's rare that you can think of such a deep question." Nie Xingji couldn't help but praise: "How many people have been in the clan for a lifetime and have been officials for a lifetime, they may not be able to figure out this. ”

In Nie Xingji's opinion, these words were extremely praised, because he needed such an enlightened wife. But in Wei Nong's opinion, she was suddenly depressed and laughed self-deprecatingly: "I still prefer to be an ignorant Shengdou Xiaomin." ”

"Then it's impossible for you in this life." Nie Xingchen smiled at the situation: "Can Shengdou Xiaomin come up with a clever plan to 'resist Ning and aid Jiang'?" If it weren't for your idea, we would still be in a difficult confrontation with the Ning army, and we don't know when we will fight. ”

Wei Nong hurriedly denied: "This is not the method I came up with, it is a national policy, a national policy!" She said as she gestured to the book in the corner.

When Nie Xingji saw those two books, he thought of the conversation between the two on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Wei Nong was willing to give him thirty volumes of strange books, and he also offered to draw a line with Yunchen. It was what he loved to see, and from that day on, good fortune continued to flow in.

Who said she would beat him? She's obviously looking at him!

Recently, he and Ming Chenyuan deliberately spread the news that Weinong was abolished, and pushed the strategy of "resisting Ning and aiding Jiang" to her, and a few days ago she improved the medicine for wounds in the army, and later instructed him to find the book...... Her various reputations have already spread rapidly among the Yan army, and now the soldiers mention the "Abolition of the Twilight Clan", all of them stretch out their thumbs to praise, and Wei Nong has become a fairy in their mouths.

Maybe it's not just fairies.

These days, he has come to Weinong from time to time, and he does not shy away from outsiders at all, just like tonight. They would have dinner together and talk about the situation in the three countries together, and in the eyes of the soldiers, they seemed to have been in and out of pairs. In the next step, he will take advantage of the situation to abolish the will to denigrate her, and then recall her to Jingzhou and reward her greatly.

Yan people are already civilized, and it is not unacceptable for a brother to marry a brother and sister-in-law, not to mention, Wei Nong also bears the reputation of the daughter of the eldest princess, and is his justifiable "cousin". He can suppress all opposition in the DPRK and China, and he can get everyone to approve of the marriage.

But the premise is that Weinong himself has to be willing. He still has work to do in this matter.

However, Wei Nong didn't seem to pay attention to Nie Xingji's thoughts, she just stared at the two volumes of books spread out in a daze. She thought it was funny, more than a year ago, when she distributed the collection of books with Yuan Che and Yunchen, she didn't dare to be interested in it at all. But now, she can't help but want to look through the collection.

Especially this time with the Yan army, she experienced all kinds of marching battles and treating the wounded along the way, and she also experienced the hardships in the army, and seemed to have found the value of her own existence. Not as a woman, an accessory to a king, but to really do something meaningful.

Thinking of this, Wei Nong took the initiative to speak: "Among the thirty volumes of strange books, there are six volumes of medical books, four volumes of astrology, ten volumes of Qimen Dunjia, five volumes of gossip deduction, and five volumes of weapon forging techniques...... " She paused, and seemed to have made great determination before saying: "I think about it, life can't be so wasted anymore...... I want to study medicine. ”

"Studying medicine?" Nie Xingchen was surprised when he heard this: "Why haven't I heard you mention it?" ”

"I only decided in the past few days." Wei Nong said frankly: "On Peacock Mountain, I saved Yuan Che by fate, and later came to the Yan Army camp to improve the wound medicine, and also followed the military medicine a lot of pharmacology, in fact, I am very happy." And when Queen Jiang died, I felt very powerless. ”

He sighed slightly: "You don't know, I've been very confused all these years, I don't know what to do, and I've wasted a lot of time." It wasn't until I recently came across a medical book that I finally got some motivation. ”

"You're motivated...... Save? Nie Xingji asked uncertainly.

"It's to save people, but also to save yourself!" There was some inexplicable luster in his slightly thick eyes, and he looked at him almost pleadingly: "I don't want to continue to drift, I don't want to live in the past, I don't want to play with power, and I don't want to be a woman in your harem...... I just want to start over. ”
