Feng Junyang lowered his head to tease the child, and said casually: "Eldest sister, you have to choose a daughter-in-law for Xing'er now, it's too early." ”

"Ace, you don't have to pretend to be stupid," Empress Dowager Feng glanced at him and said angrily, "I want to pick an aunt for Xing'er." ”

Feng Junyang smiled lightly when he heard this, but said softly: "But I just want to marry the daughter of the He family." ”

Looking at him like this, Empress Dowager Feng couldn't help but feel a little distressed, reached over and patted her brother's arm gently, "You kid, your temperament is stubborn." She paused, but suddenly thought of something, raised her eyes to look at Feng Junyang, and asked: "I heard that when you went to Qingzhou last time, you went to Taihang Mountain to see a girl, and she was the girl you mentioned to your eldest sister earlier that you wanted to marry,"

Feng Junyang was silent for a moment, and then replied, "Yes." ”

Empress Dowager Feng unconsciously came to her senses, looked at her younger brother with a smile, and said: "If you men, it is affectionate to say that it sounds good, but it is actually half-hearted and greedy to say that it is ugly. Since you don't marry the daughter of the He family, why are you worried about other girls, what do you want, we are not those merchants, we can get you two equal wives. ”

Feng Junyang laughed and said, "Eldest sister, where am I as unbearable as you say,"

Empress Dowager Feng also smiled and asked, "Then you and the eldest sister tell you the truth, which one do you like?"

Feng Junyang lowered his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "What does it matter which one you like, with a background like ours, marriage has long had nothing to do with the love between men and women." If you marry a wife and come back, you can respect each other like a guest and raise your eyebrows, then it is already a creation. ”

"It doesn't matter," Empress Dowager Feng raised her eyebrows lightly and said: "In the past, we couldn't make our own decisions, but now that we can be the masters, we can do whatever we want." If you really like that girl in the mountains, take her to Shengdu, and the eldest sister wants to fake her identity, so that you can marry her."

Feng Junyang raised his eyes to look at the Empress Dowager Feng, was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "Eldest sister, have you heard this sentence, the near is the cause, and the far is the fate." If this is the case, I have a reason with the daughter of the He family, but I have a fate with that girl. ”

Empress Dowager Feng frowned slightly, as if she didn't understand her brother's words, and asked, "Wouldn't it be better to have fate?"

"Although there is fate, there is no share." Feng Junyang couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Eldest sister, don't mention her again, she has no intention of me, and she has someone else in her heart." ”

Empress Dowager Feng couldn't help but be stunned, speechless for a long time, until the child suddenly cried, she hurriedly hugged her son from the couch into her arms, while gently shaking and coaxing, while persuading Feng Jun Yang: "What trouble is the eldest husband without a wife, if she is ruthless, you will leave." ”

Feng Junyang nodded with a light smile, thought for a while, and said: "Eldest sister, the news of the Qingzhou Revolution will soon reach the court, and then I will say that Zheng Lun is a self-reliant murderer, and he will be designated as a rebel and lead the army to fight." ”

Empress Dowager Feng was slightly startled, and for a while she didn't care about the crying child in her arms, she only looked at Feng Junyang and asked, "Isn't this really going to push Zheng Lun out, so that your business in Jiangbei for a few years will be in vain." ”

"It's in vain," Feng Junyang said in a deep voice, "Only by pushing him out to be a target, can we slowly station troops opposite Yiping for later use." ”

In November of the fourth year of Yongning, the news that Zheng Lun killed Xue Shengying and occupied Qingzhou to establish himself reached Shengdu. Feng Junyang angrily reprimanded Zheng Lun, saying that this disloyal and unrighteous person can be punished by everyone in the world, and asked the court for war, and was willing to lead the army north to crusade against Zheng Lun.

In February of the first year of Xinwu, Zheng Lun abandoned Feng Junyang's in-laws, the He family, and formed an alliance with the Jingyang Zhang family to fight against the He family. Just when everyone in the world thought that Zheng Lun and Zhang Huaimin would attack He Ze together, in May, Zheng Lun quietly led his troops south along the western foot of Taihang Mountain, and waved his army directly at Yiping.

At the same time, the first big village in Taihang Mountain, Juyi Village, is also a joint South Taihang several large cottages, the troops out of Taihang, and Zheng Lun's army together, with the momentum of lightning, without waiting for He Ze to lead the army to rescue, it captured Yiping.

He Zeren was still in Wu'an, and after receiving the military report, he sat silently for a long time, and then he looked up at the henchman and asked, "Do you want Yiping to take it back?"

The staff thought about it, but said: "It depends on whether Zheng Lun and Feng Junyang have really broken up." If it is really broken, it doesn't matter if Zheng Lun occupies Yiping first. But if the two of them are just making a show, and he takes Yiping, it is for the sake of Feng Junyang, and he must not be allowed to occupy Yiping, otherwise, Feng Junyang will have a way to the north. ”

He Ze sneered softly and said: "It's hard to predict whether Zheng Lun is still loyal to Feng Junyang now, don't talk about us, I'm afraid that Feng Junyang himself can't be sure." ”

Yiping City, Chen Nian stood alone at the highest place of the South City Tower and looked south silently, and it was already half a day. It wasn't until it was getting dark that she came back to her senses, and heard footsteps at the staircase behind her, and thought she was a fool who came to ask her to go back to dinner, so she shouted, "Don't come up, I'll go down." ”

The footsteps stopped, and then continued upwards. Chen Nian was a little surprised, turned around to look, but saw that it was Zheng Lun coming up from the staircase. She smiled unconsciously and explained, "I thought I was stupid to come and call me to eat." ”

Zheng Lun said lightly: "He wanted to come over, and I was about to come up to inspect, so he asked me to help him bring this to you." ”

Chen Nian smiled and sighed: "This lazy man,"

Zheng Lun glanced at her, walked to the window and looked out, and asked seemingly casually, "You have been on it for a long time, what are you looking at?"

Chen Nian also turned around, turned his gaze back to the outside of the city, and replied with a smile: "I didn't see anything, I just watched and played." I didn't think that I would take Yiping City so easily, and I always felt a little unbelieving. You don't know how surprised Cui Xi and I said that I wanted to take Yiping that day, who would have thought that in less than a year, I would stand on the tower of this Yiping City. ”

"Cui Xi," Zheng Lun was a little surprised, he cooperated with Chen Nian to attack the city, and several people on the list in Juyi Village already knew each other, but he had never seen this Cui Xi.

Chen Nian slowly lowered his head and replied softly: "He was originally the second leader of Juyi Village, and he was the military advisor in the village, and his training of my soldiers in the village was given by him." He was also the youngest son born to Yang Cheng's outer chamber, who was chased and killed by Xue Shengying to the mountains and rescued by Wen Daya. ”

Zheng Lun frowned when he heard this, and said: "How can you put such a person by your side, Yang Cheng died at the hands of the prince, and he and the prince have a common enmity." ”

Chen Nian's lips showed a hint of bitterness, and he nodded: "Yes, he has a grudge against Feng Jun, so he revealed my whereabouts to He Ze." The brothers in the village all said that he was ungrateful, and he would take revenge, but in fact, where is the revenge of the kindness, he just wanted to avenge the murder of his father. When Feng Junyang was calculating Yang Cheng, I was by Feng Junyang's side, and I was also discussing with him how to be foolproof. Cui Xi sought revenge on me, but he was not wrong. ”

Zheng Lun pursed his lips and was silent, and after a while, he asked Chen Nian again: "Then where is Cui Xi now, you can kill it,"

"Nope." Chen Young smiled and shook his head, "I locked him up after I returned to the village, how to kill him, he also has a sister, who is only four or five years old this year." Kill Cui Xi, what should Mao'er do, do you have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots together, or lie to her that her brother was killed by someone else, and ask her to continue to treat me as a benefactor,"

"The benevolence of the woman," Zheng Lun couldn't help but say, then changed the topic and asked Chen Nian: "I can't stay here for a long time, I need to return to Qingzhou as soon as possible, and leave you 20,000 soldiers and horses, you may hold Yiping,"

"Twenty thousand," Chen Nian raised his eyebrows and shook his head with a smile, "No need for so much, you can leave me three thousand elite soldiers, I still have a few thousand soldiers in my hands, let's make up and Shouyiping, it's enough." ”

Zheng Lun didn't want her to be so big, so he couldn't help but look at her and said, "The He family is most afraid of now is not the Zhang family, nor me, but the prince." The prince has been transferring troops to the north, and in order to prevent the prince from going north through Yiping and occupying Qingzhou and Hebei Prefecture, He Ze is very likely to divide his troops into two routes, all the way to attack Qingzhou, and all the way to capture Yiping. No matter which of these two places is captured, the prince can be stopped. Qingzhou is still more dangerous, I don't need too many soldiers and horses to defend, but you here, it may be even more difficult. ”

Chen Nian smiled and said, "Your speculation is only based on He Ze's disbelief that you are really betraying your lord and standing on your own, so you will act like that." If you have really broken with Feng Junyang, he is afraid that he will ignore you first, and concentrate on fighting Zhang Huaimin, and will only come back to deal with you after destroying the Zhang family. ”

Zheng Lun heard what she was saying, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

"It's very simple, when you really break up with Feng Junyang, not only will He Ze not come to fight Yiping, I'm afraid that I can't wait for Feng Junyang to quickly transfer troops here, so that I can watch your master and servant fight."

Zheng Lun misunderstood that Chen Nian was coming to persuade him to betray Feng Junyang, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "I said that I will not betray the prince." ”

"I don't want you to betray him, otherwise Jiangbei will have to fight for two more years, and it will be the common people who will suffer." Chen Nian smiled, turned his head to look outside the city, and after a while, suddenly asked him thoughtlessly: "Zheng Lun, you can marry a daughter-in-law in Yunxi,"

Zheng Lun didn't expect her to suddenly ask about this, so he frowned unconsciously, and said coldly: "I haven't married a wife yet." ”

Chen Nian nodded slowly, and asked again: "Can you have someone in mind?"

Zheng Lun didn't know why she asked this, there was something strange in her heart, and she didn't know how to answer, so she just pursed her lips and said nothing. He was so silent, but Chen Nian misunderstood, but when Zheng Lun was in love with Yunsheng, he smiled apologetically to him and said, "I'm sorry, I asked you about your sadness." It's just that Yunsheng is the fiancée of your prince, even if you love her again, I'm afraid you won't be able to get what you want. ”

"Don't talk nonsense," Zheng Lun suddenly felt a little annoyed, and felt disturbed in his heart, and didn't want to stay here with Chen Nian any longer, so he turned around and walked towards the staircase. Chen Nian dodged to stop him, raised his head slightly to look at him, and said in a deep voice: "Zheng Lun, you marry me." ”

This sentence seemed to hit Zheng Lun's heart with a heavy hammer at once, making him breathe involuntarily, and only after a while did he come to his senses and change color: "Miss Xie, you are crazy,"

He ignored her and went downstairs bypassing her.

Chen Nian stopped him several times, and only asked him: "Are you afraid that Feng Junyang will not be able to tolerate you in the future, and will kill you again,"

Zheng Lun couldn't get around her, so he simply stopped, looked at her coldly, and said, "Miss Xie, Zheng Lun is never afraid of death." ”

"Then what are you afraid of," Chen Nian stared at him and asked, "Everyone in the world knows that I Xie Chennian is Feng Jun Yang's forbidden body, as long as you marry me, no one will doubt whether you really break with Feng Jun Yang, Feng Jun Yang is how many soldiers and horses to the north, and people only think that he is running for you." And," Chen Nian smiled suddenly, "Once I marry you, even if we are in name only, Feng Junyang will have a mustard in his heart, and I will no longer be able to threaten your Miss Yunsheng." ”

Zheng Lun held back the anger in his heart, and asked in a cold voice, "Miss Xie, what are you trying to do?"

"What am I trying to do," Chen Nian curled the corners of his lips slightly, and chuckled: "Use me Xie Chennian alone to exchange this Yiping City for tens of thousands of lives, which is a lot of money." ”
