In the remaining days, Cao Shen was actively deployed.

For these things, Yingchuan has never asked, and he is not interested in participating.

On the side of Xiangbang Lu Yuan, there is no battle report for the time being.

It seems that this Great Patriotic Battle entered a period of intermission.

Whether it is friend or foe, they are all enjoying this hard-won leisure in tacit understanding.

If there is one person who is not very happy, it must be Yingchuan.

Evergreen Palace.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Xun were standing in front of him at the moment.

But he walked up and down the hall, looking very anxious.

The former was puzzled and asked, "Your Highness, what happened to you to be so worried?" ”

Zhang Xun also frowned.

Now that the situation of the enemy is very good, and the emperor has the intention of reusing the eldest prince, for now, there should be nothing that can affect the mood of the eldest prince, right?

Yingchuan shook his head and sighed: "You say... Why haven't the coalition forces attacked yet? What are they doing? With an absolutely superior force, why is it still cowering in Yucheng? ”

Hearing the sound, the two looked at each other and felt confused.

Now everyone in the court is eager for the coalition army to withdraw immediately, why does the eldest prince want them to attack it?

It's certainly not that simple.

That's right.

Could it be that the coalition forces are plotting something?

Otherwise, why didn't they send troops to Xianyang and besiege this place?

Could it be that the eldest prince is worried that the enemy army is planning a big plan?

"Your Highness, what do you mean..."Zhang Xun wanted to speak and stopped.

He seemed to have guessed something, his brows furrowed even tighter for a moment, and the worry in his heart was no worse than that of Yingchuan.

If it really does what I guessed, it won't be good!

Pang Xuan is a famous general in a hundred battles, and in the territory of Qin, except for the late Qi Hao and Xiao Yan, who had just died in battle, there is no general who can compare with the other party.

It is incomprehensible that such an enemy, with the upper hand, did not launch a decent offensive for several days.

"Your Highness doesn't mean anything, but wonders, why? Why is that? ”

Yingchuan shook his head and came to the bed.

Since you can't figure it out, let's just take a nap.

As soon as Zhao Yun wanted to say something, he was stopped by Zhang Xun on the side, "Let Your Highness rest and rest, in the past few days, in order to defend the city and ponder the movements of the enemy army, Your Highness must have been worried a lot." ”

The former nodded, and then the two slowly exited the main hall.

On the way out of the palace to patrol the city, Zhang Xun said: "Your Highness's meaning, do you understand?" ”

"I guess I understand what that means."

"Then you go or do I go?"

"I'll go, even if I am discovered by the enemy, I can get out of the way."

"Okay, how many people does General Zhao need?"

"Don't have too many, thirty rides is enough."

“......”

Yingchuan: It's really interesting~

In Xianyang City, there is a wine house.

The name is 'There's a Tavern'.

Due to the openness of Qin Feng and the fact that women can also stay on the street, many beautiful women will come to this tavern in disguise to have a drink, mainly to see what handsome talents there are here.

Although the Guogong Mansion has declined, because Cao Pujia grew up in the capital since she was a child, she met a group of children of high-ranking officials and nobles, and they are always called sisters.

Today, she brought some women, disguised as men, to the tavern to hear about current affairs.

Here, every day, there are many talented people who will talk about state affairs when they are drunk.

And the court didn't care.

Because Ying Chu felt that the reason why the current imperial court relied too much on foreign officials was because there were no talents who were too available in Daqin.

What is a genius?

is not to write a few splendid articles and poems, but to be a so-called talent.

The real talent must be a soldier with armor in his chest and be able to manage the country.

Since such talents are needed, it is impossible not to let them talk about state affairs.

As long as what they say makes sense, the imperial court can even take it immediately.

After all, Ying Chu wants to really be a Ming Jun.

"I brought you here today, firstly, because I am afraid that you will stay at home every day and have nothing to do, and it will be easy to get bored; The second is that my father has just served as the commander of Xianyang's city protection, and I want to come here to inquire about some things about the enemy army to see if I can help my father to defend against the enemy. ”

Cao Pujia lowered her voice and said.

The women were relieved.

Many of them don't know how to drink, but it's okay to pretend.

Who let this tavern always gather a lot of talented people?

If you really meet someone you like, let your father and mother go to propose, it's better than waiting for someone to come to the door to mention, and you don't know if the groom is ugly or handsome, right?

In case I met an ugly one, my father and mother agreed, and I had no choice but to marry a chicken and a dog and a dog.

But if you happen to meet someone you like here, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

In the Qin State, the status of women is still high, but it cannot be compared with men.

"This poem should be a big deal! I never thought about it, but I underestimated the big prince! ”

"Yes! Feeling the tears of the flowers, hating the birds, even if it is me, I am poor all my life, I am afraid that I will not be able to write such good poems! ”

"Now it is rumored that the eldest prince used to be self-defiling and clumsy, and his purpose was to survive in the palace of deceit, I didn't believe it at first, until I read these poems written by His Royal Highness the eldest prince, I firmly believe that the eldest prince was really hiding clumsy before!"

"Be careful! Don't talk about royal matters, be careful that trouble comes from your mouth! ”

“......”

At this moment, Cao Pujia and the others keenly heard the sound coming from a side room.

She frowned secretly and muttered, "Are they talking about Yingchuan?" My father has been extremely respectful of the eldest prince these days, could it be that this Yingchuan really has some real talents? ”

Just when he was in doubt, he heard a poem read out in the wing:

"Furious Crown..."

After the words were finished, the room applauded.

Even Cao Pujia, who has always been known as a talented woman, couldn't help but applaud when she heard this song.

"Color!"

"Color!"

“......”

Outside the wing, many people also heard it, and the cheers rang out from time to time.

A few people who were drinking in the wing room suddenly opened the door, holding the wine in their hands, and said fiercely: "The poem just now was written by the eldest prince Yingchuan, gentlemen, just like what is written in the words, don't wait for idleness, white young man's head, empty and sad!"

For this word, for the death of the great prince, raise a glass and drink together! ”

Hearing his voice, Cao Pujia confirmed in his heart that this poem should be written by the eldest prince, but it is still unknown whether he has found someone to polish or ghostwrite.

"Wait!"

Just as everyone was about to raise their glasses, a woman in rich clothes walked in.

This person is extremely beautiful and has the posture of captivating the country and the city.

Seeing her figure, Cao Pujia and the others frowned one after another.

They knew her.

The sister of the prince of the country, the daughter of the queen of the dynasty - Yingni.

"You said that the eldest prince will fight to the death? He has never been on the battlefield, so how can he fight to the death without surrendering? ”

As soon as Princess Yingni said this, everyone immediately discussed.

She often came here to drink and make friends with talented people.

And he also likes to call talented people to the prince's mansion and let them play pets, which is for fun, and has been criticized by the world.

So even if she is a few years older than Cao Pujia, until now, no big family is willing to marry her.

Throughout the ages, if the princes and nobles married a princess, it would be an extremely glorious thing.

However, just because she played more fancy, no one dared to marry now.

"It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess! As far as I know, the eldest prince once persuaded His Majesty the Emperor to defend Xianyang and did not hesitate to sacrifice his life to the sky, but is there such a thing? Since this is the case, why can't it be said that the eldest prince will fight to the death? ”

"That's right, and I also heard that the eldest prince has discussed with the protector Cao Shen how to defend the city, and it is said that the imperial court still has a special will, and it will be announced to the world in a few days, the eldest prince does intend to defend the city!"

"He would rather sacrifice himself to the heavens, but also dissuade His Majesty and those ministers from defending Xianyang, how can it not be called a death war?"

"That's right!"

“......”

More and more people are angry with Yingni.

In fact, if you have to put it on a normal basis, they don't dare to talk to each other like this.

But what Yingni sometimes does is a little too much.

He used his power at every turn, for fear that the talented people would get the prince's mansion to play with.

Who of the talented people with no background who often drank in this tavern had not been persecuted by her?

Who hasn't been forced to be whipped? Smell her sour feet?

Everyone is a serious person, who is idle and used to her weird XP!

The long-term oppression has buried a fire in their chests.

In addition, now that the national crisis is at hand, who can take care of a lot?

Everyone has a tacit understanding and it's over.

Does she dare to blame the public?

"You.. You guys... How dare you speak to this princess? Isn't it the other way around?! "Yingni is in a hurry.

"Princess, don't worry, I'm just telling the truth!" Someone responded.

Yingni said angrily: "Hmph! A group of dogs who tend to be inflammatory, and people are also in the clouds, among you, who hasn't said that Yingchuan is a gentleman who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it? How? Now he praises him as a rare talent? Bah! Disgusting! ”
