To a large extent, the army is the rivers and lakes.

At least in Jiang Ning's understanding, that's the case.

Xia Qiangjun's attitude from the beginning was obvious, he hated rhetorical literati, so he should be a soldier with a strong atmosphere of rivers and lakes.

The two praised each other, but it seemed that they were two friends who cherished each other, and they were reunited after a long absence.

Xia Kang and Bi Cheng'an are also extremely surprised by this situation, the social atmosphere of emphasizing literature over military force has been popular since the founding of the dynasty, and now the court is also a literati abbot of the government, Jiang Ning at this age, but can see the importance of military generals to the current situation, which they did not expect.

Talented people, or some people in the court, in addition to rhetoric, can not do anything except drag their feet, and then hindsight is also gritting teeth, but it is also the duty.

The blood is in the mouth, and when it is put into action, it is already cringe, and these generals, the most despised are the literati.

They all understand this, but how can they be suspicious of the art of imperial power?

"But then again, the result of this defeat is also extremely disastrous......" Xia Qiangjun changed his words, but the words he said made the surrounding air instantly become solemn.

"The Queen Mother was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, saying that it was to bewitch the public, and when the official family knew, Princess Changping's mansion had been investigated, and Princess Changping was nowhere to be found."

"Missing?" Jiang Ning frowned, and then thought again, whether he was missing or not, it didn't seem to have anything to do with a little person like him, so he was relieved.

Xia Qiangjun saw Jiang Ning's eyebrows frowning, and instantly let go again, and continued: "It was said that it was missing, but it was actually protected by Qianniuwei, and he went all the way south, and now he is in Hangzhou." ”

"Zuo Qianniu Wei Meng Jingshan, it shouldn't be wrong, the official family ordered that the princess's life must not be harmed, and it must be brought back completely, but ...... The Queen Mother ......" Xia Qiangjun paused: "So the Taiwei Mansion also sent me, one is that I am more familiar with Hangzhou, and the other is that I found the princess, and temporarily placed in the palace and the horse mansion can dispel those people's thoughts, and after Wen Xuehai's Yu Linwei arrives in Hangzhou, they will be responsible for protecting and returning to Beijing." ”

In Xia Qiangjun's introduction, Jiang Ning also roughly knew the division of labor between Yu Linwei and Qianniu.

The left and right Qianniu Wei is the official position of Zheng Sanpin, and the person who escorted Princess Changping this time is named Meng Jingshan, who is Zuo Qianniuwei, with 3,000 people on the left and right Qianniu, guarding the safety of Luoyang, and Taiwei Mansion, that is, Xia Qiangjun's one main outside and one inside.

Wen Xuehai's Yulin Wei also has three thousand, and he is responsible for the safety of the imperial city, which is equivalent to the duties of the Praetorian Guard.

But now, Jiang Ning still feels that this matter is quite strange, what are the identities of the three people here? And what is his identity? If you talk to him about this, it is clearly a secret of the imperial court, so aren't you afraid that he will say it?

Xia Kang seemed to see through Jiang Ning's thoughts, and said with a slight smile: "Zichuan doesn't have to worry, I taught you to come this time and told you this, but there is another important matter." ”

"Oh?" Jiang Ning arched his hand: "If it is a suggestion or something, it is naturally obligatory, but if it is to be born, the younger generation will naturally refuse." ”

"Hehe, the two of us know your heart, so naturally I won't persuade you, but in this matter, I want Zichuan to do you a favor." Xia Kang and Bi Chengan glanced at each other and said with a smile.

"Help?"

"Not bad." Xia Qiangjun nodded and said: "This time the accident in the Changping Princess's Mansion is obviously the result of the confrontation between the harem and the official family, although the Changping Princess's Mansion has escaped, but I took twelve brothers to Hangzhou for thousands of miles, but I was ambushed in the Ningshan Mansion, and only the people who knew our itinerary were the people of the Taiwei Mansion, and the ambush I was waiting for was not the green forest of the Ningshan Mansion, so this holy decree on the bright side is irrelevant, it can only show the attitude of the official family, but it cannot affect the life and death of the Princess of Changping." ”

"Princess Changping has Zuo Qianniuwei Meng Jingshan by her side, as for where in Hangzhou, I don't know, Wen Xuehai's Yulinwei is still half a month away from Hangzhou, if someone obstructs it on the road, I'm afraid it will be slower, so ......"

Bi Cheng'an said: "So after we find Princess Changping, the Horse Mansion and the Royal Mansion are not the best choice, because Ah San has found that there are fresh faces on the street the day before yesterday, although it is the New Year, but these people talk and do things, but they are not from Hangzhou, I can be sure of this." ”

"Watched?" Jiangning Road.

"It's not enough to be monitored, but it's impossible to be clear at this point." Xia Kang said: "Taishou and the general's side don't know about this matter, if they are involved, I am afraid that the connection with the DPRK and China will be even worse, and the possibility of extraneous branches is greater." ”

"After finding the princess, I want Zichuan to help take care of one or two, and it can be said that I am the niece of my family, admiring Zichuan's talent and learning, and asking for advice or two, so I will live in Zichuan Mansion for a while, and when the time comes, Qiang Jun and his men will take down the small shop opposite your house as a stronghold." Xia Kangdao.

"Uh...... The meaning of the three is ...... Let the princess live in my house......" Jiang Ning was stunned for a long time, and finally said a summary sentence.

"Wouldn't it be better to rent a safe house on the edge of the city, have enough food and clothing for a month, and then cut off contact completely?" Jiangning Road.

"Oh? I've never heard of this kind of thing, so I want to give it a try, safe house? This name is very apt, prepare enough daily things, use them to hide, and hide them in the city......" Xia Kang nodded slightly.

"But preparing now, it's too eye-catching, as long as you do a little homework, you will be recognized, so I thought of Zichuan." Xia Kang continued.

When Jiang Ning came out of the palace, it was already dark, above the lanterns, Hangzhou City was a prosperous scene, people were in groups, or stopped to watch, or tasted and discussed, the child was carried on the shoulders of the father, and he could touch the lanterns with his hand, and his face was filled with a bright smile, in short, it was very harmonious and quiet. Although some beggars are among them, many of them will give a penny or two to give alms.

Jiang Ning originally planned to come out to see the lanterns with Wang Ruoyan, Crescent Moon and Xing'er at night, but he didn't come up with such a thing, and the whole city didn't know what kind of changes had happened in Luoyang, which was thousands of miles away, so naturally he didn't have so many thoughts.

Now I don't know if they went out, Jiang Ning thought, and walked towards home, if they didn't go out, it would naturally be good, go out for a walk, if they go out, it doesn't matter if they participate in such a lantern festival or not, just wait for them to come back at home.

Jiang Ning thought about it, and suddenly saw a figure, standing in front of the lantern, the lantern was very large, it could be regarded as the largest and most beautiful lantern he had seen since he went out, the figure was graceful, looking at the painting on the lantern, he could see it.

The painting on the lantern is the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, but the Cowherd is a personable boy at the moment, holding the two children with both hands, the Weaver Girl stands on the Milky Way, rushing towards them, and the two children even open their arms to embrace their mother......

"The girl is alone?" The three teenagers held folding fans in their hands, walked up to the girl, and smiled slightly: "There is a little wine upstairs, I don't know if the girl can enjoy it......"

The woman was stunned, and then gave a slight blessing: "Thank you for the kindness of the sons, the little woman still has something to do, so she retired first......"

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave......
