And so things settled down.
Later, Ning Qian entered the palace again, with a bit of complacency in her eyes: "Let me just say, Qianyin can't compete with me, right?"
Seeing her like this, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing: "What? Wang Jinhuan agreed?"
Ning Qian nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the fruit tea: "Your Majesty sent someone to deliver an order to Wang Jinhuan to visit An Yongzhuang. Wang Jinhuan didn't want to respond because he was worried that I would be unsafe in the city alone. Said, I'm really tired of staying in the city all day recently, why don't I go out with him for a walk, so that he can handle errands and take care of me personally. "
Yun Chang laughed: "You really think this is a trip to the mountains and rivers? This trip is a bit dangerous."
"Yeah." Ning Qian smiled and said, "What your empress and Wang Jinhuan said is exactly the same, not a single word is different."
"I just told him that there is nothing to be afraid of in some dangers. I believe in him, no matter where he is, no matter what happens, as long as he is there, it is absolutely impossible to put me in danger. I am sure, he will Can protect me and protect our children. Then ask him if I am right."
Yun Shang laughed out loud: "How can a man admit that he can't even protect the one he loves? My Qianqian family is really cunning."
"Yes." Ning Qian's brows were full of smiles: "So Wang Jinhuan can only agree."
Ning Qian took a look at Yunshang: "When you get along with men, you only need to be a little careful to coax them into submission. Men are simpler-minded, as long as you talk nice things and coax them, you can do nothing." Problem."
Yun Shang cupped her hands towards Ning Qian: "Brilliant trick, I learned it."
After the laughter, Yun Shang became serious: "Presumably Wang Jinhuan has already told you about the matter, right?"
"Well, I've said it." The fruit tea was filled with sugar, which was a bit too sweet and not sour, Ning Qian frowned, and then continued: "It seems that the dark guards have to re-teach them, such an important thing , but no one reported it, and the two months late, I don't know what the consequences were."
"I have to talk about it." Yun Shang nodded: "It's just that I don't want to tell you this, what I want to say is that this matter is much more complicated than I expected, and because it involves I am afraid that this trip will not be peaceful. I can’t stop you, but on this road, you must remember that you still have one in your stomach. No matter what, you must Take your own safety as the most important thing, you must take good care of yourself, if there is any situation, you can send someone back to report it."
"Okay." Ning Qian agreed very happily: "Don't worry, I'm not a reckless person, don't worry when I do things, I know the pros and cons, and nothing will happen."
"That's good." Yunshang raised her eyes to look at the sky outside: "This winter seems to be longer than usual."
"No matter how long it grows, spring will soon begin. Once spring begins, it will be warm."
After Ning Qian sat in Weiyang Palace for a while, the sky darkened. Yunshang asked someone to send Ning Qian out of the palace, and then stood in front of the Xia Kingdom map hanging in the palace.
His eyes fixed on the location of Ganhe County on the map, and he quickly found the mountain next to Ganhe County, which is the dragon vein of Xiaguo.
Yun Chang's hand slid across the long dragon vein that stretched for several miles and almost traversed the east and west of Xia Kingdom, and landed beside Ganhe County, frowning slightly.
Going north from Ganhe County, all the way to Yelang Kingdom, where Yelang Kingdom and Xia Kingdom are adjacent, there is also a large forest.
The border mountain forest, when the two countries were at war before, they also sent people to investigate, but the mountains in those forests are steep. If you want to go from Xia Kingdom to Yelang Kingdom, you have to climb very steep mountains, and there are almost no roads on the mountains. Even well-trained secret guards have to be very careful if they want to pass through, let alone ordinary people. Because of this, there are almost no villages and no people living in that area, let alone marching.
Because of this, the border guards at that section were a little more relaxed.
Yunshang's fingers moved slightly, remembering that Xia Houjing and the others were able to hollow out the mountain that was the dragon vein of Xia Kingdom, build fortifications in the mountain, and dig a lot of caves in the mountain for soldiers to enter and exit. The same thing, maybe, can also be done in this mountain forest.
She still remembered that Xia Houjing's party members secretly found many craftsmen in Jincheng, and even took some people away from the Ministry of Industry. They sent people to track them down, and found that many craftsmen had arrived in Yelang Country.
At that time, she only thought that Yelang Kingdom was in a weak position in building fortifications, so she sent those craftsmen to Yelang Kingdom in order to let them help Yelang Kingdom build some fortifications to resist Xia Kingdom's attack, and also Can help the army of Yelang Kingdom attack the city.
But thinking about it now, maybe they recruited so many craftsmen not for this reason.
Maybe it's not just for this.
Yun Shang's finger on the map slightly twisted. Since she had doubts, she might as well send someone to investigate directly to confirm whether her guess was right or not.
"Peilan, take a photo of the leader of the hidden guard for me."
The leader of the dark guards came soon.
Yunshang took down the map, and pointed to the area where Yelang Kingdom and Xia Kingdom bordered to show it to the leader of the secret guards: "Send three or five people, hurry up and get here as fast as possible. Check carefully, Is this mountain, like the mountains in An Yongzhuang, that have been hollowed out by people to train troops and build fortifications inside?"
"Depart as soon as possible, and as soon as there is news, immediately send a letter to Jincheng in more than three different ways."
"Flying pigeons pass on letters, hidden posts along the way, you all come back and report in person."
The leader of the hidden guard hurriedly responded: "This subordinate will send someone to do it."
Yun Chang nodded and took a deep breath, hoping it wasn't what she thought. Otherwise, this battle might be inevitable.
Moreover, the mountain forest at the junction of the two countries and the Longmai Mountain in Anyongzhuang are two very important natural defense lines for the Yelang Kingdom to attack from that direction.
If there were these two mountains, it would be almost impossible for Yelang Kingdom to conquer them.
But if these two mountains have been hollowed out by the Yelang Kingdom, and soldiers have been trained and defensive fortifications have been built inside, it will be completely different.
If that was the case, it would not be difficult for Yelang Kingdom to fight over.
But Xia Guo wanted to fight over and break through these two lines of defense, it was as difficult as heaven.
In that way, they can almost be said to be at an absolute disadvantage.
Yun Chang gritted her teeth, look at what Xia Houjing did!
