Chapter Thirty-Six: Left Alone in the Capital
Jia Feiwen did this and that for a long time, and finally said: "On the day when he was rescued by the three princes, the eldest prince asked the lowly husband and wife to agree to his marriage with Qianqian, and the lowly agreed in order to get out." ”
Long Jie immediately turned his head to Xiao Dezi and said: "Go back and tell your master, what Lord Jia promised him can't be counted, he simply forced others to agree, what's the difference between robbing people's daughters?" ”
Xiao Dezi naturally didn't dare to contradict Long Jie, so he had to leave resignedly. Jia Qianqian was in turmoil, alas! I hope Long Xiao won't make any more excessive moves.
Xiao Dezi went back and told Long Xiao, Long Xiao was even more depressed, and he naturally wouldn't give up. However, before he could start taking action, a major event occurred in the Great Yan Kingdom, and the crown prince of the Northern Li Kingdom led an army of 200,000 to occupy the three cities in the northern part of the Great Yan Kingdom. The emergency recitals at the border gates flew like snowflakes.
In the Qinzheng Palace, all the adult princes, civil and military officials have all arrived. Emperor Yong'an sat on the dragon chair, frowning, listening to the discussions of the ministers below. In the past 20 years, the country has been a country and the people, and the border passes are also peaceful, so the court has always emphasized literature and light military force. Looking at all the generals in the DPRK, there are not a few generals who can fight well and are brave and strategic. Now that the enemy is present, he cannot choose the right person who can take on this important task.
At this time, a minister proposed to let General Yang Tingshan, who was guarding the southern border, go, but Emperor Yongan immediately vetoed it. If Yang Tingshan is transferred, Nie Wuzheng of Xuancheng will unite with Khotan, and Qi will invade the border, but I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to take care of.
At this time, Long Jie suddenly came out and said: "Father, Liguo is their prince leading the troops to invade the territory, is it possible that your sons are all straw bales, can't they share your worries and lead the troops to resist him?" The son is not talented, and he is willing to be a pioneer officer and share the worries of his father. ”
Emperor Yong'an suddenly showed an approving gaze. Long Xiao also walked out, but he said bluntly: "Please ask my father to let his son take command, and his son is willing to make a military order, if you can't drive out the thieves who invaded my Dayan country, you will die and apologize!" ”
The ministers were silent for a moment, among these princes, only the eldest prince and the third prince were cool-headed, capable and courageous. The other adult princes are either playboys or cowardly and incompetent. Although neither of them has the experience of leading troops to fight, but Renjia Liguo is also an inexperienced prince, didn't he still capture three cities in Dayan Country in a row?
Emperor Yong'an stood up violently: "Okay! It is rare that my emperors also have such courage, and they are willing to share their worries for me, and Long Yueheng will listen to the seal! "This Long Yue Heng is the name of Long Xiao.
Long Xiao hurriedly knelt down.
"I have appointed you as the generalissimo of the three armies, commanding 200,000 soldiers and horses, and driving out the thieves of the Liguo who dare to invade the Great Yan Kingdom, so that they will have a long memory, and they will not dare to offend again in the future."
"The son will live up to his father's expectations!"
"Long Xuanheng listens to the seal!"
Long Jie hurriedly knelt down.
"I have appointed you as the overseer to assist your imperial brother in commanding the battle, unless he has a very serious decision-making error, and you can use the power of the overseer, otherwise, everything is subject to his decision-making."
"Yes! Sons and daughters receive orders! ”
Emperor Yong'an was so appointed, so he naturally had his considerations. Long Xiao is ruthless and can command more calmly, and Long Jie has a more long-term vision, so he can restrain Long Xiao in major decisions.
Long Xiao and Long Jie led the troops together, and Jia Qianqian couldn't tell whether he was happy or lost. Happily, I can finally put aside the trouble of marrying someone for the time being, and the loss is naturally needless to say, don't talk about Long Jie, it is Long Xiao, and he is already a friend, they all have to go to the battlefield, although there will be no danger to their lives as the boss, but the battlefield is ruthless, who knows what unexpected things will happen?
In the 'No. 1 in the world' restaurant in the capital, Jia Qianqian paid for a banquet for the two of them and made a grand trip for them. Long Xiao didn't want to join in this kind of excitement, but thinking that he wouldn't be able to see her for a long time, he was reluctant to give up this opportunity to see her for the last time, so he still went.
Long Xiao was still cold and didn't say much, but it was Long Jie, if it weren't for the fact that women were not allowed in the army, he was afraid that he would take Jia Qianqian to fight.
"Qianqian, when I'm not there, don't make trouble, this is not Anyang City, and you are not allowed to enter and leave the gambling hall, and you are not allowed to be with messy men, you are not allowed..."
"That's it!" Jia Qianqian rolled her eyes helplessly and interrupted him. "Long Jie, are you a three-year-old child when you are the son, or is it your slave, this is not allowed?"
Long Jie glared, "I'm doing this for your good, I'm gone, if something happens to you, who will take care of you?" ”
Long Xiao suddenly said coldly: "If something happens, remember to go to Gonggong Li, he is my person, and the civil and military officials in the capital also know him, even if it is murder and arson, he will help you settle it." ”
Jia Qianqian suddenly smiled, "That's right, it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, even if you two are gone, you can cover me." ”
Long Jie glared at Long Xiao angrily, this imperial brother was simply afraid that the world would not be chaotic. There are many relatives of the emperor and the country in the capital, and if they accidentally provoke them, I am afraid that they will not even have time to find someone.
Long Xiao saw that he was deflated, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of pride.
Long Jie had no choice but to stop his mother-in-law's admonition, and decided to wait for him to leave, and let the guards start secretly protecting Qianqian.
Jia Qianqian stood up, raised his wine glass, and said arrogantly: "Come!" We've come to toast and wish you both a triumphant return! ”
Long Jie also stood up, Long Xiao hesitated for a moment, and also stood up and raised his wine glass.
In the next few days, both of them were busy making preparations before the expedition, and they were very busy, and Jia Qianqian was inconvenient to disturb them. It wasn't until the day the army opened that Jia Qianqian took the peace Buddha jade pendant that he went to the temple to ask for, and wanted to give it to the two of them.
After completing the sacrificial ceremony and taking the oath, the army began to march out of the city. Jia Qianqian was crowded among the onlookers who saw him off, and he was so anxious that he looked around. Seeing heavily armed sergeants walking in front of him, he didn't know where Long Xiao and Long Jie were.
A middle-aged scholar next to her saw her anxious appearance and couldn't help but ask her if she had relatives on the expedition. Jia Qianqian told him that he wanted to find the generalissimo to send him something, and the scholar immediately laughed and sneered: "Girl, I heard that this generalissimo is the great prince, you want to see him, it's really a daydream." ”
Jia Qianqian didn't bother to pay attention to his ridicule, and just asked, "Will the generalissimo pass by here?" ”
The scholar said: "It was the forward army that passed just now, and it will be the Chinese army in a while, and the generalissimo will definitely go from here, but if you can get close to him, unless you have wings." ”
Jia Qianqian was finally a little relieved, fortunately, she didn't miss it.
At this time, the troops passing by were all on horses, and the sergeants with bright armor were obviously Chinese soldiers and horses. In the distance, the handsome banner of hunting and flying appeared. The scholar pouted: "Girl, the generalissimo is here, hehe." ”
When the people saw Shuai Qi, they were all excited and shouted. The officials who kept the order around them drove all the people to both sides of the road, so that the army could be unhindered.
Densely packed with sergeants riding tall horses surrounded the people under the handsome banner. Jia Qianqian couldn't see Long Xiao or Long Jie at all. Seeing that the handsome flag was about to pass, Jia Qianqian was anxious, violently pushed away the official next to him, rushed into the army, and shouted loudly: "Long Jie! Long Xiao! ”
The Generalissimo's guards naturally did not let her come closer, and immediately someone came at her with a whip. At this time, two people suddenly jumped out behind Jia Qianqian, one to pull her, and the other to resist the guards' whips. The guards around thought that someone was trying to make trouble, or that they wanted to attack the generalissimo, and immediately five or six guards on horseback surrounded them, ready to slaughter the troublemaker.
Jia Qianqian was still shouting loudly: "Long Jie, Long Xiao, come here, I have something for you!" ”
Long Jie and Long Xiao in the crowd finally heard Jia Qianqian's voice in the noisy voice, and Long Xiao was still making sure that Long Jie had already rushed towards Jia Qianqian's voice.
The two people who saved Jia Qianqian just now were the guards arranged by Long Jie to secretly protect her. The two guards were resisting the attack of the guards, and when they saw Long Jie, they immediately shouted: "Three princes! Come here! ”
Long Jie yelled: "Stop! Leaning over on the horse, he dragged Jia Qianqian up and lifted him to the horse.
At this time, Long Xiao also came over. Jia Qianqian suddenly said happily: "Long Jie, Long Xiao, I finally saw you, I asked for two peace Buddhas for the two of you, and I wanted to give them to you, but I almost missed it."
Long Jie shook his head and sighed: "Why didn't you go to the other courtyard to see me earlier, how dangerous it is to intercept you halfway, if I hadn't arranged two guards to protect you in advance, your life would have been over today." ”
Jia Qianqian took out the jade pendant and handed it to Long Xiao, who was still cold and didn't speak, "Long Xiao, this is yours, remember to put it on your body, so that you can all return safely and triumphantly." ”
Long Xiao took the jade pendant and didn't say a word of thanks, but said coldly to Long Jie: "Put her down and continue to set off!" ”
Long Jie took the jade pendant that belonged to him, and reluctantly put Jia Qianqian down from his horse: "Qianqian, I will wear it on my body, remember, you can miss me, but don't worry about me." Hehe. ”
Jia Qianqian retreated to the side of the road, waved his hand and said loudly: "When you two return triumphantly, I will invite you to drink in the first restaurant in the world, and everyone will not return if you are not drunk!" ”
"Okay, don't get drunk and don't go home!" Long Jie smiled and waved. Long Xiao glanced at Jia Qianqian deeply, but still didn't say anything, and rode back to Shuai.
The army continued to move forward, and the scholar behind Jia Qianqian was already dumbfounded, oh my God, what is the identity of this nondescript girl dressed in men's clothes?
Jia Qianqian watched the army go out of the city all the time, and then went home in amazement. Alas! There are no acquaintances and friends in the capital except for them, and the days after this are quiet, but I am afraid that it will be a lot more boring.
It's just that she didn't expect that the days after that would not be boring, but thrilling.
