Chapter 21: Jiang Dong returns to Beijing
"Can you ask the emperor to send more troops to the border? If there are uncertainties, it is easy to deal with them. My father, the king, has been dealing with the Mobei people all the year round, and knows very well that they deceive the good and fear the evil, are cunning and vicious, and they will fear whoever is stronger than them. Therefore, the gentleman's style of our Central Plains does not apply to Mobei people. Xiao Qiye pondered.
"Your Highness is right! I have always respected the king of Nanqing, the prince has always had the overall situation in mind, and he has been encompassing both in Mobei, but he hates the corrupt people in the court who often attack him, saying that he does not talk about benevolence and righteousness, and His Royal Highness is quite the true biography of the prince. Cheng Hao praised.
"General Cheng has won the award, I am short-sighted, and I am sincerely afraid of taking on a big responsibility at the beginning." Xiao Qiye said modestly.
"Hey, I said Your Highness, General Cheng, don't praise each other anymore, in fact, you two are a young hero and a pillar of the country. I listened to this for a long time, and my forehead became more and more painful. Qin Yingzhao grimaced and rubbed medicine on his forehead.
Xiao Qiye and Cheng Hao both laughed.
Cheng Hao said to Jiang Dong: "It's okay for you to go, I'll give you a team of guards, but the weather is too cold, you must be careful, and after passing on the information, return as soon as possible." ”
"Thank you, General Cheng." Jiang Dong thanked Cheng Hao.
"Jiang Dong, you are not only the old man of His Royal Highness, but also have strong martial arts, are you willing to seek a career in the army?" Cheng Hao asked.
"Thanks to the general's wrong love, it's just that Jiang Dong still has some inconveniences, I'm really sorry." Jiang Dong was a little surprised, but also a little excited, a bloody man, who doesn't want to fight for military merits? It's just that he is still the guard of the Jiang family, and Jiang Xinyue is in danger, how can he abandon her?
"Jiang Dong, you have to thank General Cheng for giving you the opportunity, and when this errand is over, I will make the decision for you." Xiao Qiye saw Jiang Dong's inner struggle, and also felt that this was a good opportunity, so he agreed for him.
"But," Jiang Dong hesitated.
"Go, go early and come back early. She won't blame you. Xiao Qiye said with a smile.
Jiang Dong's heart was hot, and he left in a hurry. Cheng Hao also said goodbye and went with him to select the guards all the way.
"I still want to meet Xinyue and talk to her in person." Xiao Qiye sighed.
"You can ask to see the king of Mobei, just say that you have prepared a gift for the princess, and you will go to see it in the bright light, the king of Mobei will not refuse you, and Miss Jiang will have no reason to shirk." Qin Yingzhao said while applying the ointment.
Xiao Qiye is overjoyed! "That's a good idea! I'll go to the king's house. Yingzhao, go and prepare some gifts. ”
"Yes, Your Highness. I'll go. But the gift for Miss Jiang, Your Highness, don't you choose it yourself? Qin Yingzhao quipped.
"I don't know how many of these vulgar things I have seen, where can I see it, the gift I want to give is only in my heart." Xiao Qiye's eyes were full of expectation.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, the king invites you to the palace, I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of the Central Plains brought a gift to see the princess." The maid Una hurriedly came to report.
"Oh! He still couldn't bear it. Jiang Xinyue smiled bitterly, but there was a bit of joy in her eyes.
She got up and changed into a moon-white robe, covered with a pure white cloak, her eyebrows were picturesque, her black hair was like clouds, and her whole person was as fresh as a white plum.
As soon as Xiao Qiye saw her appear at the door of the hall, the whole person was shrouded in joy. Standing up mercilessly, he looked at her stupidly, "Princess is well!" ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the gift. Liang An deserves it. Jiang Xinyue's eyes swept lightly over his face, and then lowered his eyes.
"The princess said this, I am ashamed to teach and pray for karma, the princess is a celestial person, I am afraid that these mundane things are not worthy of you." Xiao Qiye was so excited that his hands trembled a little.
"Your Highness is too polite, so Liang An will accept it." Jiang Xinyue's gaze stayed on Xiao Qiye's face, and her eyes were a little red.
Xiao Qiye's heart was hit hard, and he took a step forward mercilessly.
"Hahaha, Your Highness, it seems that the two of you like each other, this is really no better. Liang'an, you and Xiao Wang go down to the garden for a walk! Enhance your relationship more, and when you get married in the future, you must live a peaceful and beautiful life! Ilhan, the king of Mobei, laughed, waved his hand, and motioned for them to go out.
Xiao Qiye was overjoyed, turned around and saluted Jiang Xinyue: "There is Princess Lao, please!" ”
Jiang Xinyue bit her lower lip, as if she was smiling.
