Recruit aristocratic guards, each family collects 50,000 taels of silver, not a cent is handed over to the standard camp, all into the private accounts of the guards, Li Changgong took the opportunity to extort, amassed a large amount of wealth, hundreds of thousands of silver tickets in his pocket, took advantage of the terrain to be a deserter, and became a horse bandit in the three areas, living the happy life he said about robbing beautiful women when he saw them, and selling them to Qinglou after spoiling them.
Gao Yuan, he and Yan Ning have an ambiguous relationship, under the guise of discussing the military situation, avoiding Mei Ying to get along alone, someone has seen Yan Ning come out of the Gao Yuan tent late at night, lonely men and widows, in the dead of night, where is the emergency military situation from the pro-guards, to discuss whether to go to the big tent, the two are nothing more than to take advantage of this male and female love.
It's a pity that Yan Ning has always been in love, Gao Yuan swept away the military expenses of the personal guards, and she thought that she was going to build a love nest with double flying and double staying, but she didn't know that she ended up in chaos and abandonment, and she is still desperate to deal with military affairs for the negative person to cover up the crime.
Rumors have noses and eyes, and the facts are stated and then speculated, which is reasonable.
Biaoying Shuangshu, the dream lover of the apprentice, the arrogant senior sister only takes good care of Gao Yuan, and the love affair of the imperial county lord is written on his face, and there are rumors when he is in the standard camp.
Hua Yue once scolded with a smile: "Two women rob a husband, Xiao Yuanzi, Yan Fu is not shallow." When he said it, he slapped it on the head, and his laughter turned into a scolding: "I thought you didn't want to marry, dreaming! I was afraid that you would make a mistake when you were young, so my senior sister would block the wind for you, giggles, who dares to rob people with me!"
"Don't make it so bad that Xiao Yuanzi can't find his wife. Qin Rufeng joined in the fun.
"Mei Ying, it's enough for him, like you, you have no shape, you have to be abandoned. ”
The senior brothers fled, Qin Rufeng secretly said that his sister Gao Ming, this trick is a trick to draw salary, no matter how good Gao Yuan's performance is in the future, there will be no female soldiers who flatter her, who dares to provoke Hua Yue. turned his head and felt sorry for his junior brother, the good years gradually emerged, the beauties were discouraged, and life was too boring. How do you know that Gao Yuan is burdened by him, Hua Yue has no way to take his brother, and strictly controls his junior brother, so as not to follow in the footsteps.
The wall that blocks the wind is magnificent and strong, Mei Ying's life experience is dazzling, and the students are empty-eyed, so they can only hide jealousy in their hearts.
Yan Ning appeared unexpectedly, maintaining Gao Yuan everywhere, it was the season of youth and affection, envy and jealousy lived side by side, rumors planted wings, flew out of the Lingbo standard team, and a few days later, the old marquis Yan heard the wind.
"Ning'er, don't be willful, my father knows that you are soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and it is difficult to turn back on what you believe, but I still want to persuade you, Dugu three generations, infatuated but ruthless, your mother must have mentioned it to you, let it go when you should let go." ”
"The daughter has her own sense of proportion, and she will not get into trouble, and the father can rest assured. ”
Yan Ning avoided answering, and not long after returning to the camp, Yan Ru, the head of the internal affairs team, ran in a panic.
"A copy of the captain's report could not be found. ”
"Don't worry, make it clear. ”
Yan Ning comforted softly, the head of the internal affairs team was her guard, her personality was steady and cautious, and she was nervous and nervous, afraid that something would happen.
Li Jian found the internal affairs team and wanted to check the reconnaissance report of Gao Yuan's departure from the camp, which had a time limit for reconnaissance, and it was clear at a glance whether it was overdue.
The report is missing.
The female soldier in charge of the documents rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and couldn't find a copy of the report, she clearly remembered that Yan Ning personally handed over the copy, how could she not find it?
"Do you remember how many days off the captain took him?"
Li Jian felt strange, Gao Yuan had made a report before leaving the camp, and the standard commander approved it, there was no reason not to leave the copy, and the female internal affairs soldier might have forgotten it for a while.
"The captain's whereabouts are classified and should not be divulged, and the report has not been carefully read. ”
The female soldier thought for a while and shook her head with a wry smile, there are many documents in the standard team, how can she remember the incident half a month ago, the captain's report, she archived it without reading it carefully.
Li Jian didn't ask any more questions, and left after a few words of persuasion to the female soldiers.
Yan Ru, the head of the internal affairs team, is careful and sensitive, rumors about the standard team are everywhere, and the report is very important, Yan Ning is always calm, knowing that the report does not indicate the deadline, and returning to the team within a month is not considered overdue according to the convention. But the report can't be found, how can it be convincing just based on her and Yan Ning's proof.
After Yan Ning made a judgment, he first stabilized Yan Ru's mood: "It doesn't matter if you lose it, it is a report, that is, a leave note, it is not a secret, be careful in the future." ”
"Miss, someone must have made it bad and deliberately stole the report. ”
"Don't make a noise about it first, make a list of people who have been to the internal affairs team during this period as soon as possible, I will secretly track it down, and you also pay attention to the other people in the internal affairs team, and keep important documents in person in the future." ”
Later, people came to the internal affairs team one after another, some people cared, some people suspected that some people saw jokes, the report was lost and could not be concealed, and after the news spread, things changed back and forth.
The management of the pro-guard team is chaotic, and the report of the captain of his own team is lost, how can he strictly guard the confidentiality of the standard team. The women's team of the guards is good-looking, but it is not material for marching and fighting, and it is difficult to take on important tasks.
When the word reached the internal affairs group, the female soldier was so angry that she cried, and she reported that she could not find it and let the spies steal it, who would believe it?
The rumors reached Yan Ning's ears, not only did she not resent, but secretly snickered, the children's private affairs, Gao Yuan is as unenlightened as wood, the more the rumors spread, the better, no matter how ugly it is, he is alone late at night, hehe, he has to have guts, Miss Ben really dares to stay in the military tent at night, a noble woman, who has no romance before marriage. Entering the gentle township, tasting the sweetness, let you be a hardwood stake, but also turn into a soft wicker, you can't escape from Miss Ben's palm.
Got up in the middle of the night and hit the door frame, three beautiful women like flowers, the lord of the empire, the princess, the princess, no matter all the horse bandits and treasures combined, none of them are rich, and the power is incomparable, the money and power are everything, Gao Yuan went to be a horse bandit and took his life to find excitement!
The five captains of the pro-guard team, all of them are children of the nobility, the aristocratic team, Gao Yuan looks down on the students, intends to make friends with the powerful, and is afraid of trading power and money behind the scenes, more than 20 students, only three or two of them became the sentry commander, whether the pro-guard team belongs to the Lingbo standard team, or the aristocratic private soldiers of Xiangyun County.
The rumors stopped at the wise, Yan Ning could think that the soldiers were not stupid, and soon reacted, and no one mentioned the deserter again, but with the loss of the report, the new statement raised its head, Yan Ning smelled the smell of conspiracy, and the imperial officers privately befriended the nobles of the border counties, which was the malicious intention of the people behind the scenes.
"Fairy Yan, check first, see if you are still not a daughter, giggle. ”
After Mei Ying and the others heard this, regardless of the jokes in advance, Yan Ning twisted Yu Wenjie angrily and scolded with a smile: "Check? You know, who did you learn from, it won't be Mei Ying." ”
"Really come out on top? Beware of the county lord's jealousy. ”
Yu Wenjie's face was full of curiosity, and Yan Ning couldn't help laughing: "I thought, does he dare? ”
"Hey, by the way, rumors are flying all over the sky, how could Hua Yue not react at all?" Yu Wenjie twisted Yan Ning's waist, and reminded after running away: "Gao Yuan's little senior sister has become a lady? ”
"How do you ask her to react, lead the troops to beat the whole battalion, the brother and sister have the strength, can they do this?" Ling Huqing looked at Mei Ying as he spoke.
"The previous rumors didn't matter, but this time it's different, someone wants to get Takagaki down and let the captain of the guard be replaced. ”
Mei Ying is so smart, she can understand it at a glance, and asked with a wink and a smile: "Qing'er, what do you want me to do?" Go out and prove that Gao Yuan will not betray the empire, and he will not fall in love with Yan Fairy men and women, hehehe." ”
Yan Ning made her laugh angrily, she really wondered if this county lord was an impostor, and how important the military power of the pro-guard was, but she didn't let go of her unwarranted personal feelings, and there was not the slightest hint of jealousy and anger in her words.
"I've told you about it, you look at it, don't mess with you, I'll admit defeat. ”
"Admit defeat? It's not like what Fairy Yan said, there must be a ghost, Mei Ying, authorize me to investigate, if it's true, castrate him, see who will intercede. ”
Mei Ying's face flushed, and she stomped her feet and scolded in a low voice: "Jie'er, don't make trouble." Yuwenjie stuck out her tongue, sent two noble women to the door to control the wind, and then came in and whispered: "There is no need to publicly investigate the loss of the report, there are internal ghosts." The three groups of military affairs, internal affairs, and money and food are all important places, and people come and go every day, but the defense is very tight, and it is unlikely that outsiders will open the cabinet and steal the documents. ”
Ling Huqing took over: "Jie'er's analysis is correct, the people who secretly review the women's team don't need conclusive evidence, but if there is any suspicion, find an excuse to transfer away, and the investigation must not be urgent, otherwise it will make the standard team disheartened." ”
Mei Ying put away her playful expression and sighed faintly: "I know that you are suspicious of the instructor, and I am strange about what she did, but she won't hurt me, so you don't have to worry too much." I think it may be that Takagaki is too eye-catching, which makes people jealous, and it is better not to be the captain of the guard, just to return his freedom. ”
"County Lord!" Ling Hu fell to his knees, Mei Ying hurriedly helped her: "Get up!" Ling Hu Qing knelt on the ground and did not move, the aristocratic woman who was hiding behind Yu Wenjie showed her talent at this time: "County Lord, forgive me for being bold, let you punish you after you finish speaking." ”
Mei Ying was at a loss, her friend knelt on the ground to plead her case, and what she said was probably very important, Yan Ning and Yu Wenjie didn't dare to interject, Ling Huqing's behavior was abnormal, she was afraid that there was something important to report, so she wanted to withdraw and avoid it, so she shook her head to stop it.
Ling Huqing said bluntly. Loyalty to the Empire, Lord is not exactly the same thing as allegiance to you. The battle for the throne is bloody and cruel, the aristocratic families have their own choices, they will not betray the empire, but the future master may not be you, Kyoto has long been full of storms. ”
Mei Ying took a long breath, stretched out her hand to hug Ling Huqing, and commanded in a low voice: "It's the same when you get up, you and Jie'er grew up with me, if even you two have different intentions, there is no need to fight for the throne, I Duguying is willing to admit defeat." ”
"County Lord, we have the right to have soldiers, why be patient, she has repeatedly interfered with the pro-guards, and simply removed the position of the standard commander and replaced it with a credible person. "Yu Wenjie is not a loss, he is from the door and decisive.
Yan Ning objected: "No, it's easy to change people, and it's not difficult to rectify the standard team, but that will make people with dissenting intentions hide in the shadows, and it will be even more difficult to track down in the future." ”
Mei Ying replied: "The three of you all know that the empire has never had a queen for thousands of years, although I am the only daughter of my parents, but my father is weak, not good at power and trickery, and his accumulated strength is limited, he only hates to be born as a daughter, and my chances of winning this battle are actually not big." Have you ever thought about the cost of failure?"
Mei Ying's words are tantamount to a public statement, she will never give up the throne automatically, although she is a daughter, but the empire does not stipulate that women cannot be kings, there was no queen before, it does not mean that there will be no queen in the future, there is always the first one in everything, the only heir of the prince of the Qinghui Empire, it is legal to inherit the throne, unless the old king sets up another prince on a whim.
Yan Ning laughed out loud, Yu Wenjie and Ling Huqing pressed their hands on the hilt of the sword, and she slowly knelt down under the gaze of the three of them, making a big bow of kneeling on both knees.
"Your Highness, I have been waiting for your words. What is my daughter afraid of, our sisters are desperate to fight, people live for a lifetime is nothing more than the word fame and fortune, this competition, whether you inherit the throne or not, we have won, will go down in history, enough to be a model for women in the world. Yan Ning only asked one sentence: If the old king changes to a crown prince, do you dare to continue to fight?"
The two looked at each other for a long time, Mei Ying didn't answer, and when Yuwenjie and Ling Huqing couldn't help but want to make a move, they reached out to help Yan Ning up.
"None of the abolished princes can die well, and grandpa won't do that. Don't worry, if you really come to that point, even if Father accepts his fate out of filial piety, Master will never sit idly by. My father regards the world as his home, thinking that the empire is the power of the Prince's Mansion, and he is not good at and disdainful of cultivating a dead party, hehe, Master, if it weren't for her father's repeated obstructions, she would have taken action a long time ago, how could she let the clouds block the sunshine of the Prince's Mansion. ”
Jie'er just asked Hua Yue's brothers and sisters why they didn't say anything, I'm afraid that they are the same as Yan Ning, waiting for me to make a statement, hehe, this is the end of this, deal with this little turmoil first. ”
