When Xiao Yunfan had insight into Ji Qianyun's plan, he pondered all night. The next day, he asked Li Yingxiang for his resignation. Li Yingxiang was shocked when he heard this. Busy asking him the reason, Xiao Yunfan answered truthfully.

Li Yingxiang was stunned for a long time before he said slowly: "Brother Xiao, for your concerns, Li has not considered it. Now that I have drawn up a battle strategy, if I change it at this time, I am afraid that it will affect the morale of the army. If Hexi and Hedong are not pacified as soon as possible, the situation of being attacked by the enemy will be even more unfavorable at that time.

Even if there is really a war in the southwest, Lord Zhongcheng will think of another way. Brother, since you have made up your mind to go, I will not keep you. Take care!" Xiao Yunfan also arched his hand to him, and turned to leave. Li Yingxiang said: "Wait." Xiao Yunfan turned around and said, "Brother Li still has something to order?"

Li Yingxiang took off his saber and presented it to Xiao Yunfan with both hands, and said with a straight face: "Brother Xiao, you and I have known each other, and it is a pity that we can't fight side by side this time." This Longquan sword has followed Li for several years, and I will give this sword to you, hoping that you can use this sword to complete what you want to accomplish. ”

Xiao Yunfan said: "This ...... How does this work?" Li Yingxiang said: "Brother Xiao, I know that you are not a pedantic person, I will let you hold it." Xiao Yunfan took the Longquan sword and said, "Thank you, Brother Li." As he spoke, he turned over his horse and headed for Chengdu Mansion.

In the fourteenth year of Wanli, the pioneer officer Zhou Yude broke the fortress of Budong Wang, Zhu Wenda, Guo Cheng, and Bian Zhiyuan also took the strategic places such as Jinou Fort and Guishui Cliff like Ji, and after the convergence of the five road armies, they captured the enemy nests such as Centipede Village and Feipeng Village in one go.

The bandits had repeatedly failed and were in a difficult situation, so they thought that they would be able to delay time by abandoning their baggage and luring the Ming army. Unexpectedly, the Ming army was not fooled, and advanced all the way, pulling dry and devastation, and soon many stockades surrendered one after another. Hedong was quickly pacified.

After a short rest, the crusading army crossed the river and marched westward. The enemy strongholds such as Xipo, Xige, and Qiangou were conquered one after another, and the bandits were shaken. The three villages of Hexi's forces are the strongest, such as oxtail, hurricane, and deer, and the leaders of the three villages have already prepared after learning about the accident in Hedong.

Xiao Ligu, the leader of Hurricane Village, insisted on the gate of the village, thinking that he was ironclad, but he never expected to be attacked by Guo Cheng at night and annihilate Xiao Ligu in one fell swoop; Jiesai, the leader of Luer Village, was bewitched by a monk sent by Li Yingxiang a long time ago, and they had already hid in the mountains before the army came to crusade. Only the father and son of Niuwei Village were left to resist stubbornly, and Li Yingxiang led the three-way army to attack, and Niuwei Village was quickly extinguished.

The remnants of the Sanzhai Party had surrendered to the Ming army, and other small villages did not dare to make a mistake again, and Hexi was soon pacified. In mid-June, Li Yingxiang's army returned triumphantly. In the past few months, Ji Qianyun originally wanted to take advantage of the Ming soldiers to unite with the tribes in the southwest to hold a major event, but after he took Chiyou blood, his body underwent strange changes.

In order to suppress Chi Youxue's manic demonic nature, he went into retreat for several months. During this period, the high priest Ami Khan's proposal for marriage had to be suppressed. The two maids discussed Feng Miaoqing's marriage in private and bumped into her. Feng Miaoqing said: "Ah Feng, Ah Chen, what are you two little Nizi saying bad things about me behind my back?"

Ah Feng and Ah Chen's legs were already weak in fright, and they immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to ask for her forgiveness. Feng Miaoqing rolled her eyes and said, "It's okay to ask this holy woman to forgive you, but you have to tell me what you are talking about?"

The two maidservants glanced at each other, and their faces were embarrassed. Ah Chen plucked up his courage and said, "Holy Maiden, I can tell you about our conversation just now, but please don't say that we said it, otherwise the high priest will know about it and punish us heavily?"

Feng Miaoqing said in her heart: "Grandpa actually has something to hide from me. Hmph, thanks to what I know from these two maids, otherwise I would have been hidden from him for the rest of my life. At that moment, he put on a straight face and said: "Are you afraid of him so much, aren't you afraid of me?" Ah Chen cried and said: "We are just little girls who serve people, and we can't afford to offend anyone." Please also ask the Holy Maiden to be gracious. ”

Feng Miaoqing stretched out her hand to hold Ah Chen's chin and said, "Then you'd better tell the truth, before I change my mind, your truth can satisfy me, I naturally won't punish you, maybe I will reward you with something." Ah Chen said: "Yes, yes." Ah Chen, to tell the truth, Ah Feng and I were discussing the marriage of the saint. ”

Feng Miaoqing's eyes immediately widened when she heard the word marriage. Ah Chen said: "We also heard from others that the high priest plans to marry the holy woman to the servant king, so that the saint will be the princess of my servant clan in the future." Feng Miaoqing closed her eyes, first her heart tightened, and then she felt a burst of dizziness.

Ah Chen asked worriedly: "Holy Maiden, I have told the truth, please be gracious." Feng Miaoqing nodded, her heart was inexplicably sour, and she waved her hand to the maidservants to signal them to retreat.

In her opinion, although Ami Khan has only been with each other for a short time, there is an innate feeling in the blood that has never made her feel the slightest sense of alienation. Especially after seeing the portrait of her grandmother, she was even more convinced that Ami Khan was her only relative in this world.

But now, it is this dearest relative who actually wants to entrust his future to someone he has never met. Feng Miaoqing has been extremely intelligent and assertive since she was a child. She also has her own opinions about marriage. Even though his second uncle had made a marriage contract with the fourth son of the Divine Sword Pavilion, she had not rejected the marriage by running away from home.

After getting Feng Yuchun's approval, she has the right to choose her beloved. In her heart, there may have been a man who had taken possession of her heart. No one else can come in anymore.

She suddenly felt her heart shrink for a while, and she thought about that person more and more. Think of his looks, think of his words, think of his hands touching his cheeks...... No matter how much she thought about it, the person in her heart was dead after all.

In the past, grandpa was his own hope, and some times, Xiao Yunfan was also his hope, but they were gone. finally has a grandfather, he is a little starlight in his dark life, and this starlight was originally his last hope. Now, even that hope is dashed.

Feng Miaoqing's tears fell like broken beads, and she returned to the room and looked at herself in the mirror. The woman in front of her, who only knew how to cry, did not seem to be herself, she raised her head and carefully examined her face in the mirror.

She picked up a knife and looked at herself in the mirror. He said to himself: "I will never be an Aleqiu again, and I will not marry any prince." I am Feng Miaoqing, Feng Miaoqing who is not afraid of heaven and earth. I will ruin my face now, but all men like young and beautiful women.

I'm ugly if I lose my looks, and the prince is definitely not stupid enough to marry an ugly one. She picked up a sharp knife from the dressing table and moved it towards her face.

Just then, Ami Khan pushed the door open. Seeing that she was holding a knife in her hand, he reached out and popped out a bead and hit her wrist. Feng Miaoqing only felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and the knife also slipped from her palm. She looked back at Ami Khan and said, "You, why are you stopping me?"

Ami Khan said strangely: "Good granddaughter, what's wrong with you? Why do you want to use a knife to cut your face? Do you want to be like your grandfather?" Feng Miaoqing looked at him, with tears in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "I, I have never been your relative, nor your grandson?"

Seeing her behaving strangely, Ami Khan said: "Good granddaughter, isn't someone bullying you, why can't you think about it?" Feng Miaoqing said coldly: "You better let me go, I'm not interested in being your granddaughter now." I think the seniors must have recognized the wrong person. ”

Ami Khan slowly approached her, stretched out two thin fingers on her forehead, and said, "I don't have a fever, is it because I am evil?" ”

Feng Miaoqing shook his hand away and said, "I'm Feng Miaoqing, not Aleqiu." I am a Han, not a servant. Ami Khan's eyes were fierce and he said: "Who poured you ecstasy soup, why don't you even know your grandfather." ”

Feng Miaoqing said: "It's you." If you hadn't poured me ecstasy soup and said that you were my grandfather, I wouldn't be as sad as I am now. My dream is awake, please let me go, like we've never seen each other. ”

Ami Khan's hands were trembling, and he said loudly: "Aleqiu, do you know who you are talking to?" Feng Miaoqing covered her ears with her hands, closed her eyes and said, "I don't want to listen, I don't want to hear a word you say again." ”

Ami Khan suddenly thought and said, "Did someone tell you that I was going to marry you to the servant king?" Feng Miaoqing sneered: "I think anything you say now has nothing to do with me. I don't want to listen to it, so I asked my seniors to let me go, because I was obsessed with it and wanted to be your granddaughter. Now that I've done enough, you're going to let me go, right?"

Ami Khan lowered his head and said lightly: "Child, you know that grandpa is doing this for your own good, I will die of old age, and when I die of old age, there will be no one to protect you." You need a husband who gives you a strong arm, because you are no longer a little girl.

Grandpa, I chose the king of the Yu clan for you, you must know that there are many women in the world who want to marry him, but grandpa has already figured out a way to make him love you alone. He is the king of the Yu clan, and he will be the emperor in the future, and when he becomes the emperor, you will be the future queen.

You are my only granddaughter, and my only relative in this world today, how can I bear to hurt you?"

Feng Miaoqing listened to the tone of his words, and could understand his painstaking efforts, tears flowed from her eyes, and she said slowly: "You...... If it were my grandfather, I should have made my own choice, not for me. ”

Ami Khan smiled bitterly and said, "Silly boy, is the road that my grandfather paved for you wrong?" Feng Miaoqing said: "It's not your fault, it's my fault." Ami Khan nodded and said, "You can finally understand Grandpa's hard work?" Feng Miaoqing's tongue tasted salty tears, and said loudly: "I said that I was wrong because I didn't recognize you."

Because you don't know me at all, I'm Feng Yuchun's granddaughter, Feng Miaoqing. And in my Feng Miaoqing's life, I will choose the person I love by myself, and no one can make decisions for me. ”

When Ami Khan heard her words, his heart was pierced with blood as if he had been pierced with a spike. He said in his heart: "It turns out that this girl always remembers the old man of the Han people in her heart." She didn't grasp all of this I did. ”
