During the fierce battle in Chang'an, Xu Zhen was walking on the road and had already heard the news.
She was nervous, so she drove to Pingliang and looked for the princess everywhere, but unfortunately she couldn't find it.
Pingliang's loess is vast, covered with wind and sand, Xu Zhen went to Pingliang Academy to ask for directions, saw the students she had taught before, asked the students to help, and then saw the princess on the second floor of a teahouse.
Except for the princess, there was basically no one in the building, and the student left quickly after bringing Xu Zhen there.
Xu Zhen cut to the chase and said, "I've been looking for you for several days."
She sat directly opposite the princess, folded her sleeves and poured a cup of tea for herself, and then said, "You need to help with troops, or after this time is over, you won't have your share in the land of the Central Plains."
The princess sat on the other side with her arms folded, smiled and said, "Are you still threatening me?"
Xu Zhen took a sip of water casually: "It's not a threat, I just want an explanation."
The princess looked up at Xu Zhen, but said nothing.
Xu Zhen asked: "Didn't you plan to attack Yecheng at first, why was there no movement?"
The princess said: "It's not a good time."
Xu Zhen twitched her lips and said, "I've come all this way, and I haven't seen anyone more ambitious than you. Every opportunity is a good one for you, but if you don't do it, what are you worrying about?"
The princess laughed softly: "Since you have asked all the questions, you should know."
Xu Zhen said, "I do know."
The princess drank a cup of tea silently.
Xu Zhen asked: "Are you worried that this battle is over, King Zhenbei's reputation is too big, it will overwhelm your prestige, so you want to keep your troops, if Xiaochun wins, you will fight against her, if she loses Now, you took the opportunity to collect our group of lingering people. Am I right?"
The princess smiled, and everything was contained in the smile.
Seeing her expression, Xu Zhen understood what she was thinking, but she was not too angry, because she had already made all the preparations before coming.
She said calmly: "I can promise you that if the world is stable, Xiaochun will not compete with you for status."
The princess who was holding a cup of tea was stunned.
Xu Zhen continued: "And Ge Xier, Li Sanlang, and Xie Guang will not compete with you for status."
The princess touched the teacup with her fingertips and asked, "How do you guarantee it?"
Xu Zhen said, "They are my students."
The princess asked: "They are your students, can you control their thoughts?"
Xu Zhen didn't answer this question directly, but said slowly: "When the battle of Longmen ended, I had a conversation with the Duke..."
The princess nodded.
She knew about that conversation. The Duke told her that when Xu Zhen and he proposed reforms, they wanted to accumulate more food and raise soldiers and horses in Pingliang, so Pingliang could have such a positive outlook. And this person also confidently said that as long as she is given two years, all the important positions in the court will be her students.
This man really started planning a long time ago.
The princess was taken aback. Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that the world has become like this, is it also planned by this person
She looked a little shocked, and looked up at Xu Zhen.
Xu Zhen didn't think about it at all.
Back then, I taught casually, and I didn't think about what kind of path my students would have in the prosperous age after accepting a broader idea.
Her complexion didn't change much, but it was this calm expression that made the Princess hesitate.
The princess didn't send troops before because she didn't trust other people, but only herself. Therefore, when she realized that Xu Zhen had already started to make arrangements when she was teaching, she was moved.
Xu Zhen continued to ask her for soldiers and horses.
The princess hesitated for a moment, and because Xu Zhen was really capable, she finally nodded and said, "Then I'll offer 10,000, which is—"
Xu Zhen said, "Fifty thousand."
The princess got up and wanted to scold someone, she took a few deep breaths, sat down again, and said to Xu Zhen very seriously: "I want this country because I want to change the current situation. Everything I have encountered now proves that the world It's not normal to…”
Xu Zhen asked, "What's abnormal?"
The county advocate opened his mouth and closed it again. She thought of a certain New Year's Eve in Chang'an, when her elder brother failed to disobey the wishes of the courtiers and decided to make her marry the Huns. Victims of political struggle. That night, the princess sat in the attic and cried all night, so she strengthened her determination to rebel.
But it's useless to say so much now, the princess didn't say much.
Xu Zhen sat down calmly and continued to persuade: "I promised you so much before, and now I can make another promise with you."
The Princess said: "Speak."
Xu Zhen said: "There will be no problem in attacking Jiangnan."
The princess was noncommittal: "Are you crazy? Now go to Chang'an to add fire, maybe there is still a chance, why go to Jiangnan?"
Xu Zhen looked calm and said calmly: "Listen to me, it must be right."
The Princess refused to comment: "It is the limit for me to take a risk once, and it is impossible to go to Jiangnan!"
Xu Zhen suddenly smiled and said, "Trust me."
The princess stared at Xu Zhen.
The two people made eye contact, and both could see the exhaustion and impatience towards each other, but everything was not over yet, and it had to continue.
The princess has not yet spoken.
Xu Zhen said again: "If something goes wrong, no one will scold you. I will recite the infamy in history."
Her voice was neither soft nor heavy, as if she was talking about something unimportant, but with such a calm demeanor, the princess was too shocked to speak.
After a while, the teahouse became more and more crowded.
Many of them came back from farming, came to the teahouse to drink water to quench their thirst, laughed and shared anecdotes, and said that they had learned about Chang'an.
But this is just a teatime conversation, and no one cares what the truth is.
In the private room on the second floor, the princess touched the teacup and thought for a while, then sneered and said, "Okay, I will listen to you this time."
Xu Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, she immediately got up and said, "Let's go now."
The princess was a little confused: "What? So fast? I haven't had time to notify the emperor."
Xu Zhen didn't want to waste time, so she directly dragged the princess out of the teahouse to prepare the army.
The summer is scorching outside the door, and the cicadas are buzzing, as if they are making noise for the end of the curtain.
…
The princess was willing to cooperate, and everything was immediately free of worries. The matter of the princess' reinforcements quickly spread out. Several students in Chang'an relaxed slightly, but the war did not stop. Those who should fight continued to fight, and those who should farm continued to plant land.
But a few days later, the princess' reinforcements that everyone was thinking of did not appear in the turbulent Chang'an, but appeared thousands of miles away on the seaside of the south of the Yangtze River.
This group of mighty army marched south.
The leader is Xu Zhen.
Xu Zhen was sitting in the car, leading 50,000 soldiers and horses, and marched rapidly all the way. When she was about to reach Jiangnan, she suddenly became low-key. The mountain hollowed out by the mine directly created a man-made landslide.
After the loud bang.
The mountain collapsed and the city gate was blocked.
In towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the soldiers were originally catching strong men and preparing to send them to Chang'an to participate in the war. There were also quite old men sitting on the side of the road grinding bronze wares, which were used for war.
Those who had been forcibly joined the army changed their clothes, formed a team, and prepared to go out of the city to Chang'an. However, just as he left the farmland, a group of people heard a loud rumbling noise, shouted in unison, and returned to the city one after another.
The huge rocks outside the city were rolling, the dust was flying, and the official roads of the city gate were dilapidated and impassable. The group of soldiers in charge of the detention shouted, "I can't get out!! The city gate is completely blocked! What's going on? "
"The mountain was blown up!" Someone replied, "The previous mines have all collapsed!"
"Who did it?!" The young general with a higher position continued to shout.
The person in charge of sending the message replied: "It's a woman!! She said that King Zhenbei warmed her bed!!"
There was a sudden silence in the city, and then there was a commotion: "King Zhenbei warmed her bed?? Don't be a lunatic!"
What is the truth, they have no way to verify, they can only hear the rumbling sound of bombing the mountain, not only the city gate, but also the rest of the village are blocked.
Jiangnan is completely isolated from the outside world.
Beggar Xiao in Chang'an was finally helpless.
…
Another five days passed, August in the third year of troubled times.
Xu Zhen gradually finished dealing with Jiangnan's affairs, and things became stable. She heard the originally sharp birdsong become crisp, and the gloomy sky burst into flames.
She stood on the city wall and looked towards Chang'an to the north. She wore a linen silk dress and carried two white cakes wrapped in oilcloth in her arms. She felt that it was time to go to Chang'an.
…
Between the official road of Chang'an and the city gate, the army was still facing each other. The faces of the soldiers were covered with dust and dark red blood. Everyone was exhausted and didn't want to move anymore, but had to continue. Someone in the attic was beating drums and horns to cheer up the morale of the army.
After an unknown amount of time, Chang'an's military strength finally began to decline.
The wounded soldiers sitting in the tent, as well as those who charged into the battle all sighed with relief, but the beggar Xiao who stayed in the hall couldn't sit still!
Where is her army
And what about her counselors
She stood up and shouted everywhere: "Where are the reinforcements in the south of the Yangtze River?! Where did the counselor go??"
Inside the hall, the guards put their swords on their waists one after another, but there was no response. Beggar Xiao almost drew his sword to kill someone, but she got angry quickly and calmed down very quickly.
She glanced at the depressing sky outside, quickly sat back on the cushion, and asked the people around her, "Are those infected refugees still on the edge of the city?"
The body palace man whispered: "Go back to Your Majesty, you are here."
Beggar Xiao sat on the top with his knees propped up, and said coldly: "As the guy said earlier, bring the sick ones here."
The palace man was stunned, and was about to say something.
However, at this moment, without warning, there was a faint sound of soft shoes stepping on the ground at the gate of the palace.
After several people heard the voice, they followed the prestige, and coincidentally, on the straight and long road outside the Golden Palace, there was a blue-eyed girl with a sword in her hand, with blood dripping from the tip of the sword. In this empty main hall.
This person is the famous Zhenbei King, Xun Qianchun.
How did she get in? No one knows for now.
But many people in the palace knew that the palace might have been breached.
The bursts of roars were like a fault, becoming faint and indistinct, as if separated from the palace by mountains and seas.
The hall was extremely quiet. Beggar Xiao looked at Xun Qianchun without speaking, while Xun Qianchun looked at Beggar Xiao without saying a word, the two just looked at each other for a moment.
Beggar Xiao asked with a confused smile, "Am I defeated?"
Xun Qianchun said: "You are defeated."
Beggar Xiao asked Xun Qianchun: "How did you do it?"
Xun Qianchun was silent for a while, and for some unknown reason, he explained: "Mr. did it."
"Who, Xu Zhen? What did she do?" Beggar Xiao's eyes were bloodshot immediately, but he didn't say much. Because even if you don't say it, you know it. What else can Xu Zhen do? There are too many things she can do, she can plan, pave the way, and use tricks.
In Jiangnan, it must be Xu Zhen's hands and feet.
Beggar Xiao snorted coldly.
Xun Qianchun looked at Beggar Xiao coldly, standing with his sword in his hand, his expression normal.
Beggar Xiao smiled and asked again: "Are you here to find someone? To find the demon concubine?"
Xun Qianchun remained silent.
Beggar Xiao shouted, "Bring people in."
But after shouting several times in a row, there was no movement. After a long time, a court lady ran in quickly and said with a bad face: "Yaofei, she ran away, and the counselor ran away too!"
Beggar Xiao immediately looked sideways at Xun Qianchun.
There was a silver bracelet hanging from Xun Qianchun's waist, which was often played by Concubine Lan Yi. After seeing the bracelet, Beggar Xiao felt even more desperate in his heart, and understood that he might be completely defeated, and she had no bargaining chips.
The tide is over.
Beggar Xiao felt this word thoroughly.
The surrounding palace people were shocked, thinking that Beggar Xiao would give up so quickly.
Xun Qianchun was not interested in playing anymore. She took two steps forward, ready to kill this beggar Xiao.
But at this moment, Beggar Xiao got up angrily and shouted: "Do it!! Kill this man for me!!"
The guards drew their swords one after another, and they just drew their swords.
In an instant, nearly a hundred soldiers rushed in at the entrance of the main hall, full of murderous aura.
The situation is immediately clear, who wins and who loses is clear at a glance.
The big picture is settled.
Beggar Xiao knew that she was defeated, she stared at the hundred-man enemy army with her slender eyes for a while, and then sat back on the chair slumped.
Xun Qianchun asked: "What do you want to say?"
"You are kind and righteous." Beggar Xiao laughed self-deprecatingly, "I knew that person was not simple. Back then... I should have kept her locked up so that she would never see the light of day."
Blood glinted in Xun Qianchun's eyes.
She waved her sword neatly and directly pierced Beggar Xiao's heart. This rioter who seized the palace and occupied Chang'an was completely dead.
At this time, the dark clouds over Chang'an also dispersed.
The clatter of horseshoes splashes dry dust.
At this moment, on the Chang'an Ancient Road, Xu Zhen drove her horse and galloped towards Chang'an. When she was about to reach the gate of the city, she saw the army sitting on the side of the road with a faint smile on his face. It seems that the partition on the Jiangnan side is indeed It is effective.
Xu Zhen was very pleased.
The horse's hooves gradually slowed down. She was afraid of stepping on someone, so she swayed forward. After walking a few steps, she heard someone calling her from behind.
She looked back and saw many people, many familiar faces. This group of people raised their hands to greet her, and Xu Zhen responded accordingly.
Under the faint sunlight, Xu Zhen seemed to see a barbarian girl with a cold face, leaning against the wall with a lantern in her hand, smiling slightly.
Xu Zhen put her hand down and couldn't help laughing along with her.
She turned around and thought of this barbarian girl waiting for her in Chang'an City, so she whipped her whip again and ran towards the city.
The horse galloped recklessly, broke through the guards at the palace gate, and ran all the way towards the palace. Before she ran into the palace, she saw a figure flying towards her, hugged her off the horse, and asked with a low smile: "Here?"
This man was wearing silver armor, with scars on the corners of his eyes, and gentle eyes. He was the person she was most familiar with.
Xu Zhen held Xun Qianchun's hand, nodded, and said with a smile, "Here we are."
As these words fell, above the attic in the palace, cranes flew away and the sky cleared.
Under the three mountains of yellow dust and clear water, it has changed for thousands of years like a horse.
Looking at Qizhou nine cigarettes in the distance, a stream of sea water pours out of the glass.
After the absurdity, the world gradually became peaceful.
The author has something to say: the text is over! ! ! I was very confused when I wrote the ending. I originally wrote it for a long time and then deleted it. I feel that it is just right now. I will write more in the extra episode. It is estimated that there will be weddings and post-marriage, daily life in Zhenbei, stories about sisters-in-law, and some texts The little beggar’s point of view that I didn’t explain (Standing in the flag.
It takes about one to two weeks to finish writing the side story, and post it together after writing. I will have a good time for two days.
After three months of writing, it is finally finished. In the last chapter, let me talk about some nonsense passionately (this part does not charge money). The nonsense is relatively long, and I will explain some of the questions asked by some comments and private messages.
I read all kinds of comments that raised opinions. Originally, I was in a good mood and wanted to reply, but some time ago, the three-dimensional dimension was in a mess, and some complaints affected my mood a bit, so I didn’t read the comments at all and didn’t post on Weibo. .
When this book was written to the end, the writing was a bit drifting. The lack of writing power was one aspect, and the other reason was that the characters had already formed, and they were operating outside of my outline, and I didn't force them.
For the plot after the reunion, I originally set it up as a palace fight. Be strong and lobby first in a more difficult environment, and play tricks with strategists. This will be very pleasing from the Internet, because it is very cool, Being strong can piss off many people, you can pretend to be aggressive in Zhenbei Academy, you can meet new orchids, you can have an affair with a little beggar in the corner of Hu Palace, and you can suddenly become a concubine from a handyman, making everyone in the palace Surprised, and the status can be improved step by step, and it will not be as common as it is now.
But I changed it several times, and wanted to go to the palace to have a good time, but she refused, even if she was arranged to be a servant of the Hu Palace, she would not hate others, maybe because she has grown up and matured, she already has her own I lost my mind, refused to listen to me, and then ran out of the barracks to wait.
This plot is the bifurcation point of my outline, causing the following plots to deviate from my original idea, and some things seem to be scattered... But it's all their choices, and it has nothing to do with me. I rarely feel this way when writing articles. It is generally written in accordance with the outline. This time I feel quite strange, so I didn’t want to try it out. Of course, judging from the comments and private messages, the effect is really not good. This is what I feel very sorry for. I will revise and improve the article recently.
What's more, because I am used to writing cool texts, I set this book as cool texts, and arranged a lot of plots that are aggrieved and then cool, but when writing, being strong is actually struggling all the time, she doesn't want to Turning into Ben Shuangwen, I just wanted to fall in love with no ambitions, cook wine, drink tea and chat with acquaintances, and carry out a series of social activities. I mispositioned her, and I regret not thinking about it at the time.
There are indeed a lot of questions in this book. I have a lot of questions in every book. This is the first time I wrote an ancient novel to test the waters. Unfortunately, I didn’t succeed in writing it. , there is no way I really can't write well. I have written four books now, and I also want to write something that can be sold, but I have not yet started writing, and I am in a state of incompetence, and I rely on my strength to write the plot to the end every day. So I can only continue to work hard on the next book... The next book, Bai Yueguang, writes light-hearted daily articles, takes away the comedian route, and retreats for a year before opening. There is a high probability that it will be ruined. Looks better than the text.
One more thing to be honest, the biggest bug in this book is actually the world view. I was foolish and set the time after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and wrote about a hundred schools of thought, but at the time of the Three Kingdoms, it was obvious that a hundred schools of thought merged. Almost everyone is a miscellaneous. After I discovered this bug, I wrote it with fear every day, and I didn’t dare to write more about it later. Fortunately, everyone was tolerant enough to me, and few people scolded me! !
Finally, thank you very much!
Thank you for growing up with Qiangqiang and Xiaojiaohua. During the serialization period, I felt that everyone was raising a baby together, very happy, and many small details will change because of your comments. For example, Qiangqiang actually forgot to take the five hundred taels of gold she got in Chang'an on the day she left Chang'an. If everyone hadn't reminded her, she would have cried about 50,000 words in the episode.
So I really thank you all the time, I wish all the lovely people happy every day, happy three-dimensional! mwah! See you outside
