But, unfortunately, after Nanyu Kingdom could not eat Dongyan Kingdom, it fulfilled the agreement with Wanqi Lingxuan, dragging Prince Rui along, attacking continuously every day, but not confronting them head-on, just delaying their time and consuming them His patience and the demand for food and grass gave Prince Xuan the opportunity to seize the opportunity to win the hearts of the people, and he returned to Beijing one step earlier than Prince Rui so that he could seize the opportunity.
This step-by-step calculation is really well-intentioned to the extreme.
"Why?" Lingxuan vented all her hatred for Wanqi Lingxuan and Wanqi Lingxuan, not reconciled to being led by the nose by Wanqi Lingxuan after every step of the way. "Wancheng Lingxuan, in this life, I will never let the Yun family be manipulated by you any more. Your ambition will die with you!"
"Brother, can Princess Baili start a war again?" Since there is going to be chaos, then let everything be in chaos. It's better than chaos in Dongyan.
Rejuvenation in a hundred miles requires a lot of waste to be rejuvenated, those unfavorable factors need to be eradicated, and military power needs to be eradicated, so this may be a better opportunity. If it is used well, Beihan Kingdom is hers, and no one can take it away.
Yun Tao looked at the eager younger sister, and was taken aback for a moment, knowing that she was angered by the letter sent by Wan Qi Chengyan, that's why she lost her mind and said such words.
"Xuan'er, the matter of war is not easy to talk about. If the Beihan country provokes another war and loses, how will Chun'er face the people of the entire Beihan country?" The Beihan country is different from other countries. They were so poor that they lived side by side, and the war would only make them worse.
This time, it didn't have much to do with the North Cold Country, but because King Yi wanted to plan for a hundred miles to rejuvenate, he provoked a war with the East Yan Country, and wanted to join forces with Wanqi Lingxuan to benefit each other.
Lingxuan knew that what she did was selfish, completely disregarding the safety of the people. However, there is a bigger shadow in her heart, she is afraid that what happened in the previous life will happen in this life, so she must stop it, even if it is beyond redemption.
She would rather bear all the sins on her own, and she doesn't want the things in her previous life to happen again, watching her beloved relatives, lovers, and friends all die because of Wan Qi Lingxuan's ambition.
"The law of war, isn't there still delay?" A smirk appeared on the corner of Lingxuan's mouth, and she mocked, "If Lingxuan let the Nanyu Kingdom drag King Rui, then we will let the Beihan Kingdom drag the Shijia army. Even if Lingxuan is in a hurry, he can't do it—and all the food and grass in the North Cold Country come from the Yun family, so that all the forces of the Yun Family in the North Cold Country will be at the mercy of Baili Huichun, and it will be treated as a gift from my sister-in-law to the future sister-in-law A meeting gift," she would rather destroy the Yun family than let the Yun family end up in the hands of Wanqi Lingxuan or others.
Yun Tao blinked his eyes, feeling uncertain about Lingxuan in his heart.
In the past few years, he was in Beihan Country, and he didn't know how Lingxuan supported the Yun family. He just felt that it was a little strange that the Yun family had not fallen into the hands of others—in his perception, the Yun family, It has long been scraped off by those people in the capital who are eyeing it.
And Lingxuan, a ten-year-old child, just supported the entire Yun family so forcefully, and even did not ask her grandmother, uncle and others to help.
But now, he unexpectedly discovered a fierce and powerful force from Xuan'er, which is more noble and domineering than the real eldest princess Baili Huichun.
Over the past eight years, what happened
Why did Xuan'er, who was originally delicate, become what she is now? He once asked, but there was no trace of the answer he got. Could it be that Xuan'er just resembled that different mother
"Brother, I'd rather the Yun family be destroyed in my hands than in someone else's hands!" Seeing that he was silent and not knowing what he was thinking about, Lingxuan spoke again, with a firm tone and a touch of resolute.
For the Yun family, Yun Tao also felt that it was a burden, because the three of them, brothers and sisters, were not willing to bear the burden—but, if they gave up rashly, let alone their parents, who were helping the Yun family and were devoted to the Yun family. Even the old people couldn't bear it, so the Yun family couldn't give up unless they were in desperation.
Yun Tao thought about it carefully, and finally nodded.
Lingxuan was afraid that her eldest brother would not talk about it, so she told Yuntao that she would write to Baili Huichun herself to tell Baili Huichun about it. As for what decision to make, it was up to her, and she decided not to threaten Nian'er.
What she wants to say is about something she knew in her previous life, knowing that because of her rebirth, everyone's fate has been changed. Originally, at this time, Baili Huichun was already the king of Beihan Kingdom, and Wanqi Lingxuan Already mastered the entire Eastern Yan Kingdom. But now, they are still struggling on that road, and they have no certainty about the future.
Because the East Yan Kingdom was trapped and under siege by the Three Kingdoms, the entire Chinese New Year was not as lively as in previous years, and the capital also seemed much more depressed.
Because of Lingxuan's attack, Baili Huichun finally made up his mind to take over the military power of King Yi on the grounds of King Yi's defeat. , caught him off guard, and was forced to stay in the north to deal with it, but felt inexplicable.
He wanted to find King Yi and ask, what was going on
However, King Yi was put under house arrest by the old emperor Baili, even if Lingxuan Wanqi searched all over, he couldn't find him, and because he was not in Dongyan country, he had no choice but to do it for a while.
He thought that he should be on his way back to Beijing at this time, he should return to Beijing earlier than Prince Rui, and get his father's affirmation earlier, so that he could achieve his goal earlier.
However, because of the Beihan Country's garrison of troops again, he couldn't express his anger, so he could only endure it forcefully—and, because of the problem of food and grass, he couldn't send troops without any scruples like before.
The Northern Han Kingdom's dispatch of troops trapped Wanqi Lingxuan, while the Nanyu Kingdom's dispatch of troops also trapped Wanqi Lingrui. The two were evenly matched, and neither of them benefited.
"I'm sure I want to do this," Lingxuan said firmly, seeing the expressions of disapproval from the crowd.
"Sister-in-law, it's not safe for you to go to the border alone as a woman," Wan Tengmei'er said anxiously, thinking that the elder brother is most worried about her sister-in-law. If she is really allowed to go to the border alone, then what's the matter? ah!
"Mei'er, my sister-in-law didn't go alone, Ying'er and the others are protecting me, so I'll be fine," Lingxuan looked at the few people who disagreed with her head, how could she make them understand that she had to go to Wan Cheng? The reason for Shengyan.
"That's not okay," Wan Tengmei'er shook her head and refused without thinking, "Elder brother even doesn't want others to bully you in the capital, so how can he let you suffer the hardship of traveling thousands of miles?"
"Xuan'er, Meier is right. If there is anything wrong with you, just write to Yan'er and tell Yan'er. Why go there by yourself?" Prince Yong also disagreed. If something happened to his daughter-in-law, his son , It's strange if you're not crazy.
"Xuan'er, what the old prince said is that if you have anything to do, it's better to let the secret guard deliver it in person than to take someone with you and suffer from ups and downs." Yun Tao also disagreed. He wanted to leave Beijing to go to the battlefield, but he disagreed with 110,000 people.
She is the only relative who is connected by blood. If something happens to her again, how can I be worthy of my dead parents
Everyone persuaded you one by one, let Lingxuan reach out and rub her temples with a big head, and showed a wry smile with some helplessness, and said the reason why she was determined to go there.
"Father, Meier, big brother, it's not that Xuan'er is capricious and insists on going there, but because I have a reason to go there!" Seeing how many people looked at her in surprise, Lingxuan explained seriously: " The little princess wrote a letter, saying that because of the unreasonable stalemate of Nanyu Kingdom, the people of Nanyu Kingdom had already drawn resentment and anger, but the crown prince and the Queen's party members insisted, and the war continued... So, I have to go to the frontier, even, I also want to go to Nanyu Country—to take back all the power of the Yun Family!" The last sentence was so aggressive that it made the hearts of the three of them tremble.
The Yun family is a merchant, but merchants are the best to use when fighting.
Prince Yong looked at the daughter-in-law who was weak on the surface and comparable to a man in his bones, and felt a strange feeling in his heart. He felt that this daughter-in-law was the kind who had been in the position of a superior for a long time, and that kind of aura was even stronger than that of an old man like himself. fierce.
As for Wan Chengmei'er, looking at her sister-in-law who killed so decisively, she was completely dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
As for Yun Tao, because he knew about it before, after knowing that the frontier war has been going on, he found that Lingxuan's fierce aura hidden in the dark part of his heart burst out again and again, each time getting stronger and stronger, making people want to listen to her. order, feeling that everything she said was true.
"The Yun family has been in Nanyu Country for more than ten years, if they take it back rashly..." Yun Tao wanted to know where the bottom line in her heart was.
"It's the Nanyu Kingdom that's in chaos, and it's only good for the East Yan Kingdom," Lingxuan interrupted him, with a cold light in his eyes, "The Nanyu Kingdom wants to swallow the East Yan Kingdom, let's see if they can protect it first." Take care of yourself." She felt that the only way to break the stalemate between Prince Rui and Nanyu Kingdom was to do so, so that Prince Rui could return to Beijing first and seize the opportunity.
This time, even if it means nothing, she will do it.
Looking at Yun Lingxuan who was determined to the end, everyone suddenly felt a little powerless to refute.
In the end, they still agreed to Yun Lingxuan's leaving the capital, but the number of people was dispatched by Yun Tao, and even Lingxuan herself didn't know how many people were there.
As soon as she left Beijing, Lingxuan had only one order: hurry up, don't stop for a moment on the road.
Along the way, it can be said that it was full of food and drink, and Lingxuan did not enjoy the treatment that she should have as a concubine at all. She only wanted to reach the frontier earlier and meet the person she was thinking of.
At this moment, Wanqi Chengyan, who was discussing with Prince Rui whether to take the initiative to face Nanyu Kingdom's next attack, or wait passively, had no idea that the person he missed in his heart would appear soon in front of myself.
"Nanyu Kingdom is in such a stalemate. This war won't be resolved in ten years." Having stayed in the frontier for a period of time and experienced bloody experience, even the gentle and refined Prince Rui also showed a bit of arrogance and fierceness. In the capital, no one can see it.
"Then you mean to attack by force? All in one go?" Nanyu Kingdom's purpose is to drag Prince Rui down, they all know it well, but if they really attack by force, it's okay if they can't, but what if they can't? Prince Rui not only had to bear the emperor's censure, but was even criticized by the common people, which was extremely unfavorable for his future path.
"Bang," Prince Rui was struggling left and right, he couldn't make up his mind, so he slammed the table hard, and cursed angrily, "Damn it!"
"Don't be too hasty. Beihan Country's sending troops again has already blocked Wan Qi Lingxuan's way back to Beijing. Maybe you can return to Beijing earlier than him," Wan said to Beihan Country's temporary betrayal. Cheng Chengyan was surprised, thinking that something went wrong in the deal between King Yi and Wanqi Lingxuan, and Wanqi Lingxuan was trapped there.
Now, in the whole scene, the most comfortable player is probably General Meng Yi.
Seeing that Nanyu Kingdom was really attacking Dongyan Kingdom, West Qin State immediately joined in, but it was not like Nanyu Kingdom, which tried to attack, but was serious, so General Meng Yi was not a vegetarian, and directly ruthless. The ruthless fight back, the hearty hit, is the envy of everyone.
It's a pity that even if the Western Qin State retreats, General Meng Yi can't help them. After all, stationing in a fortress is something every general has to do. Not everyone can afford the consequences of leaving their posts without authorization. of.
"Who knows what tricks he hides in his bones. The only thing we are better than him now is the food and grass. Don't worry too much at the moment. I'm afraid that if it continues, the food and grass will not be enough. Even stabilizing the morale of the army will become a luxury!" Although it is the first time Leading troops to fight once, but as a prince, he understands what is the most important.
This team was not led by him by hand, so he was naturally full of dissatisfaction with the young Prince Rui, especially those old generals who relied on their elders to sell their elders. After finally subduing those old guys with Wan Qi Chengyan, how can they not be annoyed now that they are facing the pain of fighting or not fighting.
In war, it is good to win, and all games are lost if you lose. Not to fight, Nanyu Kingdom stationed troops to demonstrate, and occasionally yelled and cursed, making the frontier uneasy, which was regarded as successfully holding back Prince Rui's footsteps, so now fighting or not fighting has become the most painful and tangled choice.
"Food and grass... don't worry too much, the Yun family will find a way," Wan Qi Chengyan's tone was a little uncertain when he said this, and he didn't know how long the Yun family could last like this.
Wanqi Lingrui looked up at Wanqi Chengyan, sighed slightly, and murmured in a low voice: "The entire Dongyan Kingdom has been played to death by Wanqi Lingxuan!"
Persevering to the end will only bring back everything in Dongyan Kingdom to the poorest time, and the Yun family will not have the glory of the past, so Dongyan Kingdom will still lose this battle.
Struggle here, over there, Lingxuan speeded up her horse, and finally, when she was exhausted and almost unable to hold on, she arrived at the main city at the junction of Nanyu Kingdom and Dongyan Kingdom, where Prince Rui and Wanqi Chengyan's current army was located. Twilight City.
"Take a rest for one night, and then go to see Shi Ziye tomorrow," Lingxuan's words made the people who followed her secretly heave a sigh of relief, thinking that with such a face to see Shi Ziye, they would have to be scraped off even if they didn't die Skin.
These days, Lingxuan is desperately traveling, no worse than Ying'er and the others, she has made it all the way to Mucheng, and made everyone look at this delicate young lady with admiration.
They thought that if the concubine wanted to go to Mucheng, it would take at least several months. After all, not every pampered person could adapt to the suffering of both wind and rain. But along the way, Shi Zifei gritted her teeth and persisted, not even yelling out the word "bitter", which really made them all admire.
Lying on the bed in the inn, although it was hard and uncomfortable, Lingxuan felt that her whole body was about to fall apart, and lying down made her feel extra comfortable.
Too skinny, didn't even eat dinner, after freshening up, Lingxuan lay down and fell asleep, completely caring about the dangerous place she was in now.
"I really came back to life." The next day, after drinking two big bowls of porridge, Lingxuan finally took a breath and showed a relaxed smile. It was the only one when she came all the way.
"Master, you'd better rest first, servant girl to contact Shizi and ask Shizi to come here," Ying'er saw that the master's eyes were full of dark circles, she couldn't help saying distressedly.
Lingxuan opened her mouth and didn't want to agree at first, but she thought that as a woman, rushing into the barracks rashly would cause unnecessary trouble, so she nodded and said, "Don't disturb others," she just wanted to see Wanqi Chengyan, and then Discuss her own decision. As for others, she doesn't want to disturb them.
"Yes." Knowing that the master did not insist, Ying'er heaved a sigh of relief, and after letting Lu Liu take care of the master, she turned and left the inn, heading for the barracks.
Outside the city of Mucheng is the battlefield, but the faces of all the people walking on the street are shining solemnly, and their footsteps are in a hurry, no one wants to delay for a moment.
Seeing such a situation, Ying'er's heart was extremely heavy, and she wondered if the purpose of the master's trip this time would be successful.
Wan Chengyan followed Prince Rui, just paying attention, and did not steal any of Prince Rui's limelight, nor would he give any orders at will, so he was just a dispensable person in the barracks.
When he saw the contact signal that he was familiar with, he was shocked. Thinking about how he saw such a signal here, he couldn't help being a little surprised, but he didn't delay a little bit of time.
"Greetings to Shi Ziye," Ying'er said immediately when she saw the person in front of her.
"Ying'er?" Seeing the person who shouldn't be here in front of him, Wan Qi Chengyan's gaze sharpened immediately, and he asked sharply, "Why are you here? Is something wrong with the crown prince?" Ying'er was What I gave to Lingxuan, I will never leave the capital as a last resort.
Unless something happened to Lingxuan and no one else could solve it, Ying'er would report to Mucheng.
Seeing that Master Shi was so nervous, Ying'er took a breath, and then said: "Master, don't be nervous, Concubine Shi Zi did not have an accident, but... came to Mucheng,"
"Come to Mucheng?" Wan Qi Chengyan's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked with displeasure: "Where's the person?"
"It's at the inn not far ahead," Shi Ziye was still angry.
Wan Chengyan threw her a displeased look of warning, and then hurried forward, unwilling to even say a word.
Ying'er looked up at the sky with some headaches, thinking that the master has persuaded everyone in the capital, and wonders if she can convince the Shizi, her ultimate goal is to go to Nanyu Kingdom!
Thinking in her heart, she didn't stop in her footsteps, and if she didn't catch up, the master couldn't find the master and came directly at herself. She couldn't bear the master's anger.
Running all the way, a night's rest can never make up for it, so Lingxuan went back to the room to rest in a daze while waiting for Wanqi Chengyan after eating, and waited until Wanqi Chengyan was furious When he came, when he saw Yun Lingxuan with a thin face and dusty clothes, there was no anger at all, only deep reluctance left.
He waved his hand to let everyone in the room go out, but he didn't make a sound to wake Lingxuan, but took off his coat, lifted the quilt and hugged her.
In the dream, feeling the familiar safe smell, Lingxuan squirmed, a sweet taste overflowed from the corner of her mouth, all anxiety and struggle disappeared at this moment, and she fell into the true sense of love. deep sleep.
Opening her eyes, what caught her eyes was a piece of blackness, which made Lingxuan stunned for a moment, she looked up blankly, met a pair of secretive black eyes, immediately showed a bright smile, and whispered softly: "Yan , I miss you!" I miss you so much, it hurts so much.
Thousands of words are not as good as that one sentence, Wan Chengyan's heart was beating, looking at the delicate woman in his arms, his heart was so soft.
"I miss you too," hugging her tightly, wanting to crush her deeply in my heart, unwilling to let go for a moment.
The two feel the reunion after a long separation, listen to each other's heartbeat, and feel that everything is so beautiful.
I want to think about it, but those who are angry should still be angry, so Wan Qi Chengyan's expression is not very good when he thinks of her traveling all the way to Mucheng.
"Is there anything that can't be passed on by the secret guard or the Yun family? If you have to come by yourself, in case something happens along the way, what do you want me to do?" Wan Qichengyan's tone was very severe, indicating that he Is really angry.
Lingxuan pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but facing his anger, she shrank her neck and never dared to speak.
If he told him that he came to Mucheng just to see him, and she was diverted to Nanyu Kingdom, he wouldn't be afraid to hang himself up and beat him up!
Thinking of that scene, Lingxuan couldn't accept it.
Lingxuan didn't know, she didn't open her mouth to explain, she was very guilty, so Wan Qi Chengyan squinted her eyes and stared at her, and after watching her shift her eyes several times, she asked sinisterly: "Xuan'er, what are you talking about?" What else are you hiding from me?" That way, it's simply self-inflicted.
Swallowing her breath, she glanced uncertainly at Wanqi Chengyan, who had a bad look. Lingxuan pursed her lips several times before she said under the persuasive eyes: "I want to go to Nanyu Kingdom!"
