Chapter 173: Departure (1)
Zhao Xi's face returned to normal, and he quickly turned around.
Su Jin and Gao Pingping didn't see anything wrong, and the young Zhao Queyu only thought that the prince had sent someone to send something again.
Only Zhao Suxin is most familiar with Zhao Xiyan's temperament and temper, and she is secretly a little surprised in her heart.
Zhao Suxin was quite calm, and waited until the guests left half a day later, and then asked Zhao Xiyan softly: "Crescent moon, is something wrong with the prince?" ”
In front of Zhao Suxin, there is nothing to hide.
Zhao Xiyan smiled bitterly and whispered: "Marquis Zhongyong lost the battle in Jizhou, and he suffered heavy casualties. The imperial court wanted to send reinforcements, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the initiative to invite Ying to lead the troops forward. Xu Jing is also going to Jizhou with him. ”
Zhao Suxin was taken aback and blurted out: "Fighting is not a joke. The prince was weak and sickly, but he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the pain of the march. ”
"Besides, you and Shizi only have more than two months left in their marriage. He went out with the army at this time, what if he couldn't catch the wedding date? ”
Zhao Xiyan was a little helpless: "The war is important. I couldn't catch up, so the wedding date was postponed. ”
It's impossible not to go.
The frail prince insisted on leading the troops to Jizhou, and the biggest effect was to calm people's hearts. It can't really be the prince who goes to the battlefield, someone needs to lead the troops on behalf of the prince. There are only a few feudal princes who have this qualification.
Wang Shizi of Pengcheng is sick, Wang Shizi of Pingchang is timid, Wang Shizi of Hanyang is suspicious, and Wang Shizi of Yingchuan is still recuperating from his injuries. In terms of force, courage, and affection, the most suitable candidate is none other than Xu Jing.
With Xu Jing's temper, he will never shirk his cowardice.
Zhao Suxin thought for a while and sighed: "It seems that the prince has to go." ”
"Yes," Zhao Xiyan said in a low voice, "I have to go." Not only to go, but also to quickly quell the war. ”
The prince personally "led the troops", and if he lost the battle again, it would be a shame for the Great Jin.
Zhao Suxin is a smart person, and after a little thought, he knows the truth. couldn't help muttering: "It's not the turn of the son of the world to do good things, and this kind of thing is the first to find him." ”
Zhao Xiyan said softly: "The prince has been in the palace for nearly half a year, and the prince has taken care of him everywhere and protected him, and he is like a brother and sister. It is dangerous to be able to go on the expedition with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he is also willing. ”
……
In this world, the person who knows Xu Jing best is none other than Zhao Xiyan.
Three days later, Xu Jing came from the palace.
He stood in front of Zhao Xiyan, and his handsome face was rarely ashamed, and he couldn't speak: "Sister Crescent Moon, I have something to tell you......"
Zhao Xiyan raised his head and looked at Xu Jing: "Brother Chunsheng, between you and me, there is nothing that cannot be said." You will go out with the prince and lead the army into battle. You were born as the prince of the domain, and you are the son of the Xu family, and you should contribute to the Xu family. ”
"Jizhou is a long way away, and the army is dispatched, and it will take nearly two months to come and go on the road. Moreover, no one dares to say how long it will take to fight such a war. ”
"Let's postpone our wedding date by half a year! When you return from victory, when the autumn weather is cool, we will marry again. ”
Xu Jing nodded sullenly, and reached out to hug Zhao Xiyan into his arms: "Crescent moon, I'm sorry." ”
"You're not sorry for me." Zhao Xiyan snuggled in his arms and whispered softly: "Don't worry!" I'll wait for you to return victorious. ”
Xu Jing exhaled a sullen breath and said in a low voice: "Send the war report from Jizhou, and it will take ten days to hurry up." The army will march out with troops, and then the march will take more than a month. I hope that the Marquis of Zhongyong will hold out until the day when the army is reinforced. ”
Zhao Xiyan said: "The people of Jizhou are fierce, and there are often bandits in Chengping. Now there are one disaster after another, and the whole land is full of hungry people. No matter how brave and good the Marquis was, he also suffered defeat. This is not the fault of the loyal and brave marquis, and you must not be negligent. ”
Xu Jing's face also became solemn, and he nodded: "In the past three days in the palace, my cousin and I have not been idle. I found all the war reports related to Jizhou from the Ministry of War and read them one by one. The current situation in Jizhou is indeed not good. ”
In the previous life, the first person in the Great Jin Dynasty to be in chaos was Jizhou.
This was followed by the annexation of states.
Now that the Marquis of Zhongyong is in Jizhou and the Duke of Dingguo is in the state, he has barely stabilized the situation for the time being. After a long time, the imperial army could not support it and had to retreat. These two states fell completely into the hands of the rebels.
"There is a group of bandits, and the leader is called Zhang Chong." Zhao Xiyan whispered in Xu Jing's ear: "After arriving in Jizhou, you must kill Zhang Chong first." ”
Xu Jing frowned, but didn't ask much: "Okay, I wrote it down." ”
No matter how specific it is, Zhao Xiyan doesn't know. In her previous life, she had been trapped by Zhou Sui's side for several years, and all she knew was who had won a big battle and who was killed.
"Brother Chunsheng, you must come back safely."
Xu Jing's eyes were a little hot, and he hugged Zhao Xiyan's slender waist tightly: "Of course." I'm going to finish the big battle early and come back to marry you. ”
Zhao Xiyan's nose was inexplicably sour, but a smile bloomed on his face: "Okay, I've been waiting for you." ”
……
Yingchuan Palace.
The prince of Yingchuan, who had a crooked nose, was lying on his back on the bed, his expression was uncertain, and his face was a little gloomy.
The princess of Yingchuan sat on the edge of the bed, waited for her husband to drink a bowl of soup and medicine, wiped the corners of her husband's mouth with a silk handkerchief, and whispered: "Does Xu Jing really want to go to war with the prince?" ”
As soon as the words Xu Jing entered his ears, the prince of Yingchuan snorted heavily from his nose.
It's been more than half a month, and the injury on his face hasn't healed yet. The face of the daily medicine is colorful, and the nose that has been beaten crooked hurts so much.
This account, for the time being, remember. I will definitely return it in the future.
Seeing that her husband didn't speak, the princess of Yingchuan said in a low voice: "Jizhou has been in chaos, the prince is here, it would be good if he stayed there completely." ”
Wang Shizi of Yingchuan pulled the corners of his mouth and sneered: "That short-lived ghost with a sick seedling, even if you don't go to Jizhou, you won't be able to live for a few years." ”
"It would be better if I could die in Jizhou. It is best for Xu Jing to die in Jizhou as well. ”
"A dynasty cannot do without a prince. The closest to the royal family, except for Xu Jing, is me. When the time comes, as long as I can persuade the emperor to make me the crown prince, this great Jin world will be mine. ”
The coquettish face of the princess of Yingchuan was a little unnatural: "You said it lightly. If nothing else, even if everything goes as you wish, the prince and Xu Jing really won't be able to come back. There were also five princes of the feudal lords who remained in the capital. The emperor may not choose you. ”
The prince of Yingchuan snorted again, looking at the princess of Yingchuan Wang's eyes with cruelty and madness: "I even sent my daughter-in-law to his dragon couch, and he didn't choose who I chose." ”
Princess of Yingchuan Wang: "......"
The princess of Yingchuan was shocked, her face quickly turned red, and then turned white, and tears suddenly poured out.
