Chaotic times Shura way
Chapter 1 is closed, Major General Lingfei is defeated.
What Mo Lianhua said the night before:
The person with the blood curse gathers the power of the wraith, as long as the soul stays alive, he can indeed be brought back to life. It is absolutely impossible for him to survive that battle in the hills, unless... unless it was the effect of the blood curse.
The red glow in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and Jing Yan's mind was circling the spell Mo Lianhua taught him.
——If the blood curse can work, then he can theoretically survive the vow of birth.
The crown prince finally condensed his strength, supported the weight of two people with his hands to support himself, and then pressed the fainted Bai Lingfei under him.
——This is also what I saw in the secret book, I don't know if it can really be done... Among the art of forming with blood, only the oath of life does not require advanced cultivation, but requires the strong spiritual power of the warlock itself.He is a person affected by the spell. As long as you give all the essence, qi, and blood of your body to you, you can overwhelm him with your will and become his temporary master. This is the ultimate way to take away the control of the blood curse on him. Good time, the ancient warlocks also used this method to compete for puppets.But you are only an ordinary body, after taking the blood curse with the oath of epiphany, although he can be saved, you have to bear the evil thoughts of the wraith on his behalf... I really don't know what the final result will be.
A dark light emerged, and a strange crimson glow of blood flowed around Bai Lingfei's neck.
The blood has been exhausted, and the next step is to use the double cultivation technique to drain the essence of the whole body.
"...Forgive me, I can only save you in this way."
Clothes are scattered all over the ground, and the two naked/naked bodies are tenderly intertwined in the dawn.
Bai Lingfei closed his eyes and soaked in his own blood, his face was very quiet and cold, it was an unforgettable beauty.
Jing Yan leaned over to hold him down and kissed him delicately, and slowly covered the phoenix pattern of vines in the rhythm——
Lingfei... I am willing to spend my whole life in exchange for your freedom and clarity.
Asuka woke up, at the moment of dawn, Mo Lianhua and Yiya carried Xiaotian on the left and right, and ran back to the carriage from the jungle not far away.
Mo Lianhua was the most disturbed——
She had no choice but to let Bai Lingfei mess around in the car.If the resurrection technique of the blood curse suddenly fails, and Jing Yan goes back to the west, and at this moment there are two dead bodies in the carriage, even if she is dumb, she will never be able to bring them back to life.
"Emperor brother!"
"asshole!"
Mo Lianhua was stunned, only to see that Jing Yan was wearing a blood-soaked samurai uniform, half of his body leaned out of the carriage, and his face was bloody again!
"Xia Bing has chased to this mountain, hurry up and get on the road."
On the way back to Akasaka, Mo Lianhua's heart was broken.
——One in the car was stabbed twice by Jiu Xuan, and the other bleeds all his blood, looking even worse than the wounded soldier.
She entrusted Yiya and Xiaotian to ride the horse forward, and sat safely in the middle of the carriage, administering needles for Bai Lingfei with her left hand, and changing medicine for Jing Yan's sword wound with her right hand.After a few days, the two of them recovered quickly, and they still had the strength to set up doubts. They misled the pursuers astray many times, so that they and their party escaped from Changsun Sheng's overwhelming hunt.
Yiya and Xiaotian were astonished, but Mo Lianhua was used to this, and explained to them brilliantly:
"They were born to spend the whole world's elixir. Compared with when you major general was rescued back to Waterstone City, these injuries are really minor."
"..." Bai Lingfei realized that he had been insulted, and immediately pointed to the crown prince: "This guy is my boss, can the medical expenses be counted on him?"
"...Then congratulations to your Highness, he has no money at all, and if I collect money, he will go bankrupt."
"No matter how poor I am, I'm still the crown prince. Not to mention raising Lingfei, it's more than enough to raise even this little eye-catching little one."
——The Crown Prince and Ms. Mo really didn't bite each other's strings in the previous life, but they became rivals in love in this life, that's really jealous.
"Who does the bastard say is an eyesore?" Xiaotian pretended to poke the wounds on his body, and said unhappily:
"Here, here, and here on your body are all taken care of by this hero. Speaking of medical expenses, you also owe me a sum."
"Brother Huang hasn't recovered yet, let him go for now." Seeing that both of them are safe and sound, Yi Ya finally felt relieved, and said with a sweet smile:
"Everyone is tired from running around these days, and even Brother Lingfei is not in good spirits. Sister Mo said that there is a mountain spring near here, why don't we go down and take a bath?"
"Okay—huh?" Xiaotian blushed, and was immediately embarrassed on the spot: "No, no, no... You, you, you are a woman, you go and wash first."
Yiya's pink face was flushed, her eyes widened and she was angry:
"I mean go wash your feet! If you think about it again, I'll ask Brother Huang to knock your head off."
"You guys go, Jing Yan and I stay here to observe Xia Bing's movements." Bai Lingfei forced a smile.
Jing Yan glared at Xiaotian first, then glanced at Mo Lianhua lightly.
"Huh? I—" How about some empathy?Single dogs also need love and care!
"Let's just go, I don't care what happens to you two!"
She joined Xiaotian's ranks, made a face at Jing Yan, and got out of the car with Yiya in a chic manner.
Seeing that the three of them had all gone far away, Jing Yan got out of the carriage and walked up the hill where they were. The two of them didn't speak a word along the way until they reached the peak.
There is only one natural barrier in the middle of the pass, and the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan will be unobstructed.
The terrain in Guanzhong is rolling and undulating, and the distant mountains are chaotic and difficult to distinguish. They stand silently on this peak, and they have the illusion of sitting and watching the world.
"You have something to tell me, right?" Jing Yan asked lightly.
Bai Lingfei came to his side and nodded slightly.
"The two swords on your body, and the entire Jianzhong City, I—I couldn't control myself, I'm sorry."
"From the time I slaughtered the temple at Guangmingding, I knew my desire to kill... This is the first time, but it won't be the last time. The family of three from the pharmacy shop owner and Jianzhong City The thousands of people here are all my responsibility.”
He suppressed the inexplicable pain in his throat, took a deep breath, and then looked up into Jing Yan's eyes.
"Jing Yan, when I still have a bit of self-control, I can still hide it from you with a disguise, but the previous Bai Lingfei was just a show. I warned you, don't just identify me, everything you identify , It’s just an illusion I want you to see. You think I’m kind and soft-hearted, and that I’m really sentient, but I’m not...From the beginning to the end, I don’t even have a conscience that is half-human.”
Jing Yan wanted to say something, but was held back by his decisive and cruel words——
"All I have in mind is killing, and you are actually very clear. I have killed prisoners many times before, but you tried every means to suppress me in the army. The me in front of you is only worthy of being used as a tool, and you don't have to use it as a tool." one person."
Jing Yan lowered his eyes to look at him, facing the mountain wind and said in a low voice:
"I've never been able to distinguish your single-mindedness. If you are really a tool, how can you do so much for me?"
"I am only responsible to you." He said indifferently, without even moving his eyes: "The oath I swore when I was loyal to you was to be your sword and cut the way for your Northern Expedition. After that, I will give you all, What I promise you is only a part of my life for you."
"Your eyes can't fool me." He lifted Bai Lingfei's face and said softly, "Do you dare to look at me and say it again?"
"Your Highness, please listen carefully." A sharp smile began to appear on his lips, and he said without hesitation: "To work hard is to work hard. From now on, I will only do my duty in the oath, and when I do my duty, I will do my best." Leave and have nothing to do with His Highness."
"If you don't want to use me, I can leave now; if you still want to use me, then just use me as a butcher's knife to destroy cities and pass barriers for you, and fight from Jiangnan to the desert for you. As for the matter of bed, if you I still want to do it with a tool, and I don’t mind letting you vent your desires, when you get bored, just throw it to others, and I didn’t care about anything.”
Jing Yan laughed and shook his head while listening, and at the end, he almost gasped for breath with laughter.
"It's not that I'm being selfish, but your acting skills are several grades higher than Mo Lianhua's."
Bai Lingfei immediately raised his sword, and pressed the Jiuxuan scabbard against Jing Yan's body.
The wound that had been stabbed twice in the middle of the sheath, he slightly pressed his wrist, and Jing Yan's face immediately turned a little pale.
"Your Highness, you have to think carefully. Your subordinates don't want you to be stabbed for the third time before you realize that you should just use me as a tool."
"I dared to be stabbed by you the first time and the second time, do you think I dare not have the third time?" Jing Yan also smiled, "I just want you to listen to what I have to say."
"Your Highness, please talk nonsense."
The blood that was rarely stopped seeped out again, if Mo Lianhua was here, if he shouted loudly, he would definitely yell the sword away from Jing Yan's heart.
"You feel that you are hopeless, but that night under the city wall, you were the one who controlled the murderous thoughts... Lingfei, you haven't lost yourself." He held Jiuxuan and sighed: "It's so difficult You have passed the first level, I believe you will not lose control again in the future, if you do, at worst, you stab me ten or eight times until you wake up again."
The black iron scabbard had already pierced Jing Yan's chest, and the indifference on Bai Lingfei's face instantly cracked.
"I know you feel guilty and want to make amends, that's why you feel that you are not worthy of everything."
The autumn wind rose high, blowing the beacon fires of the entire Guanzhong to their eyes.
"But the real atonement is not to punish yourself in this way, but to return happiness to those who are still alive. This mission will follow you all your life until you die."
From the beginning to the end, Jing Yan saw through his entire being, and every word and every sentence hit him directly in the heart.
"You always want to repent by yourself, but you forget that the murder in your hands must be reduced by at least half." Jing Yan smiled wryly, lowered his head and said to him: "The other half of the crime should be caused by me and you. Go bear it. Since you want to atone for your sins, then accompany me to atone until the end, and no one will let anyone go."
Bai Lingfei still kept his eyes cold at first, but gradually retracted the sharp thorns as he listened.
"You bastard..." He loosened his fingers and pulled Qing Feng stuck in Jing Yan's body.
The Crown Prince smiled slightly.
"A truly qualified leader should not think about how many people died because of you in the last step, but only how many people will live because of you in the next step." Jing Yan took his hand and slowly held the sword tightly again for him. ——
"The sword is a murder weapon, and swordsmanship is also a way to kill people, but I believe that you are the swordsman who saves the world. Those who control the sword will test the world with the sword, level the world with the sword, and save the world with the sword. That is what you have always regarded as life. Master's oath."
—Take up your sword, my successor.You have to become stronger in order to protect more creatures and bear more pain.
He is on this road, cannot sink, cannot escape, he must become stronger.
He looked away silently, and the Guanzhong River was burning in his eyes.
The body of Jiuxuan sheath is cold and sharply cold, but he is at a loss for the future——
It was this iron-like determination that finally accompanied Bai Lingfei's name and was engraved in the most magnificent history slips.
The author has something to say: PS1. Actually, it's not too cruel...is it?After more than ten chapters were blackened, Xiao Fei came back for nothing~
PS2. There is no need to doubt, Xiao Fei is absolutely unmistakable, even if he is acting, he can only speak those words...
PS3. The first two volumes saw Xiao Fei's redemption of His Highness, and this chapter will see His Highness's redemption of Xiao Fei in the same way.
PS4. If you are instantly killed by His Highness, please offer your knees to this domineering crown prince, even I have fallen in love with my own son (The sword is a murder weapon, and the sword technique is also a way to kill—this is the classic line of Kenshin, Salute to my Two-dimensional male god, who is also a true benevolent swordsman in my heart!)
☆, the road ahead is boundless
Since Jing Yan and Bai Lingfei were ambushed and killed by Zhang Sun Sheng's plan, it was equivalent to exposing the attack plan of the Southern Chu Army, and their dream of opening the gap in Ziwu Valley's defense line by building a city fell through.
Yiya was escorted by the heavy soldiers of the Yinglong Army, and went south to the canal again to return to Pingjing.
As expected in the hall, the princess still defended Jing Yan, but she brought news that shocked even the emperor——
Crown Prince Jing Yan and General Anqing Wang Jingtai returned hand in hand, and returned to Beijing to personally report the war situation to the imperial court and discuss with the officials the next step of the Northern Expeditionary Army's deployment.
This is equivalent to the crown prince's initiative to express goodwill, indicating that he will not completely break with the emperor for the time being; and the return to Beijing is to discuss the strategy of the Northern Expedition, and indirectly demonstrates Jing Yan's determination to regain the Central Plains, so that the millions of soldiers of the Eighth Army are completely at ease.
Although Jing Yan left the front line, he arranged for two major generals under his command, Qing Yuan and Bai Lingfei, to station in Akasaka, Xuan Feng and Yuan Tao to guard Yang'an Pass together. Except for the general Hong Da who had been stationed in Beijing for many years, the most valiant generals in Southern Chu were all Within his control, if he made a mistake in Pingjing, these fierce generals would definitely attack the capital, so no matter how suspicious the court officials were in private, they would never dare to be disrespectful to the crown prince!
On September 23, the crown prince sailed to Fenlishui in a commander-in-chief boat. Southern Chu welcomed back the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Army with the highest standard ever. From Pingtian Square to the gate of the palace, all court officials in Beijing knelt in two rows, facing each other in black robes. Huaguan's Jing Yan bowed his head to greet him.
"God bless Nanchu, Your Highness is a thousand years old——!"
The moment the Crown Prince accompanied King Anqing off the boat, the people in Pingjing applauded enthusiastically. Jing Yan, under the attention of millions of people, calmly walked through the ranks of hundreds of officials, and finally stopped in front of the empress of the palace gate, smiled and bowed Salute——
"I will see my father and queen mother, may God bless Southern Chu, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
If there were firecrackers buried in Pingtian Square, they should all be ignited by the cheers from the capital at this moment.
The owner of Chunri stood in front of Jixian Lane, looking towards Pingtian Square, and suddenly smiled like Jing Yan——
"Interesting."
"Lord?" Oak next to him asked in a low voice.
"Since Emperor Huaiyang Jingpu, there has never been any emperor in the past who can respond to everything like this." Ouyang Shaoming chuckled: "Long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, it's thanks to that guy that he can say it so smoothly."
Li Mu also looked at Pingtian Square indifferently, "The crown prince has already had a great reputation, but he just doesn't know how to deal with it when he returns to court."
"He's a fool, but he won't use Nanchu to make fools of himself. Before he really returns victorious, he has to hide his conscience and call Long Live a few more times."
The fiery red cloak turned around gracefully, and Li Mu called out to him: "Lord, you didn't go back until the ceremony was over?"
The owner of Chunri walked against the current to Jixian Lane, and smiled softly:
"I just want to see which hair that guy is missing. The little fried hair's family letter is still waiting for me to read in the building."
Although it is called a joint strategy, but the crown prince has made great military achievements and has millions of troops in his hands. Who among the court officials can "discuss" the strategy with him?For half a month, Jing Yan returned to the early dynasty, and he was ranked first among the officials with Yan Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. , the morning of the day can also be over.
But even without the wrestling in the early court, Jing Yan is by no means idle in Pingjing.
——As the crown prince and the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Army, the official duties are extremely heavy, but the crown prince is the number one workaholic in the court. He has always had the habit of staying up all night with the lamp on. The servants and servants who have been idle for more than half a year are miserable.
And there is indeed a discussion strategy, but it is not in the court, but in the Eastern Palace in the middle of the night——
"Lingfei is stepping up preparations in Akasaka. The recruits have just been sent to Hanzhong by the Yinglong army. It is time to start training now. In three months at the earliest, there will be another batch of forward wolf troops on the front line."
"This silly boy is desperate again..." Hong Da turned his head and asked, "Is Jing Huankang doing well in Hanzhong?"
"Jing Huankang has gradually emerged, and he has made great achievements in attacking the city many times. After Xie Zhengfeng left Pingjing, he went to the front line to serve as a military officer in the front line, and he complemented him perfectly. Lingfei also mentioned in his last reply that he The relationship between the two has become more and more stable, and now he can handle the tedious affairs of the army on his behalf."
Hearing this, Hong Da felt extremely relieved——
He seems to have stepped out of the shadow of Xiangzhou City... Fortunately, the tragedy did not destroy this little prince in the end.
"It's already the beginning of October, and the snow season in Guanzhong comes earlier than in Pingjing. In just one month, there will be the first snow in Chang'an; in more than ten days, winter snow will come to Hanzhong." Jing Yan put down the bamboo slips , showing a little tiredness.
The guards in the study were all dismissed by the Crown Prince, only Ye Mingqin, Minister of the Ministry of War, Xu Ru, General Counselor of the Eighth Army, and Hong Da, the general who was supposed to guard outside Pingjing, remained.
Facing the sheepskin map on the case, the four of them frowned and thought hard. Xu Ru sighed heavily, shook his head and said:
"Ziwu Valley's defense line is the most difficult barrier in the Central Plains. One month is definitely not enough to break through it. Brother Changsun Kai has narrowed down the scope of defense in an all-round way. Every time Nanchu attacks the city again, it must be extremely difficult."
"It was my negligence. If I hadn't exposed myself in Jianzhong City, the situation in Guanzhong might be completely different now."
Ye Mingqin stroked his beard and smiled: "Your Highness, there is no need to blame yourself. I think you are right. The mysterious killer does not seem to be on the same side as Xia Jun. Otherwise, his martial arts can be comparable to Major General Lingfei. There are also many opportunities to get off the phone."
"Haha... the old man also saw the same thing as Xiaoye." Hong Dalang laughed.
Both Xu Ru and Jing Yan's faces twitched slightly.
"...Xiao Hong, didn't I tell you not to call me by my nickname?"
"Don't you call me that now?" Hong Da pointed at Ye Mingqin and laughed, then turned to Jing Yan and said, "Your Highness, which one of us has the better nickname?"
Xu Ru couldn't help but slapped the table and laughed, the corner of Jing Yan's mouth twitched, and he immediately responded with all his wit:
"...The two seniors are both literary and military, and they are the mainstays of the Southern Chu Dynasty. Master Shangshu knows the autumn with a leaf, and Lao Hong has a voice like a bell. In my heart, they are very suitable for your nicknames."
"Haha!" The two adults looked at each other and smiled, Hong Da gave the crown prince a thumbs up: "Small words make sense!"
Xu Ru almost laughed into a ball on the ground, Jing Yan kicked him lightly, but also shook his head and smiled——
Bai Lingfei changed this nickname that made people cry for him. Fortunately, it didn't become Xiaohong's name in the end, otherwise he would have cried out for Nan Chujun.
After joking, Hong Da shook his head and sighed: "Even if we can cross the defense line from Jianzhong, our army will be even more difficult in Guanzhong."
"The Ziwu Valley defense line will trap the forward soldiers and horses in the pass. If we have a food transport team, Chang Sun Kai will send people to chase after us, gradually weakening our vitality. Chang'an is one of the three major cities in the world. Even if our army is strong and clear We will not be able to take it down for a year or so, and when our morale starts to weaken, Brother Changsun Kai will use the soldiers and horses that have retreated to Guanzhong to recharge their batteries to counterattack, and we will be wiped out in Guanzhong if we cannot escape."
Even a man as far-sighted as Jing Yan has to admire Hong Da's analysis from the bottom of his heart.
Xu Ru sighed: "To have such an exhaustive strategy, Changsun Sheng is indeed the number one brave commander in the Xia Kingdom."
Jing Yan shook his head.
"It didn't come from Changsun Sheng. If so, he wouldn't have ambushed Lingfei and me in Jianzhong, but should have allowed us to leave the city and lead his troops into Xia Jun's trap."
Xu Ru's expression changed: "Could it be——"
"It's Changsun Kai." Jing Yan rubbed his temples, and the tiredness in his eyes became more intense: "But Changsun Sheng hated us so much that he ruined his brother's plan. In this way, I also want to be grateful on behalf of the Eighth Army His ambush."
Since the Battle of Taowo Plain, Xia Jun's advantage has disappeared point by point, and the battle has begun to tilt to the side of Southern Chu.However, Changsun Kai has been making secret arrangements since then, and he almost fell into the trap.Up to now, because of his full retreat order, Xia Jun has gradually regained the battle situation without any effort-such an unfathomable opponent is no less inferior to Changsun Sheng on the battlefield!
"But when I was laying down in Jianzhong City, I was really surprised." Jing Yan folded his arms on his chest, tapping his elbows unconsciously with five fingers, "Even if Changsun Sheng expected that we wanted to attack Jianzhong, how could he have guessed that I would meet with him in person? Lingfei sneaked into the city? We had to change our faces in the city every day before we went out. We were very careful in everything. How could he know exactly when we left the city, and also knew that we had Yiya and Xiao with us? sky?"
Xu Ru was taken aback immediately: "Your Highness suspects that there are traitors in the army?"
"Qingyuan has always been cautious in handling affairs, and Lingfei and I sneaked into Jianzhong, and only the generals at the commanding level in the Northern Expedition Army knew about it."
Everyone was silent for a while——
The Southern Chu generals in the north are all confidantes who have followed Jing Yan for many years. Could it be that something happened at this stage?
"Maybe it's just my overthinking." The crown prince shook his head to drive away his thoughts.
Hong Dalang laughed a few times, dispelling the solemn atmosphere in the room:
"It's late, Your Highness has worked too hard this year, you should take a good rest when you return to Beijing." He patted Jing Yan, and said in a low voice: "I really can't see you and Lingfei... this is a major national event. What, what, it should be me and Xiaoye, the old guys. You are still young, and health is the most precious capital, so remember not to waste it so quickly."
Xu Ru received Ye Mingqin's gaze, and immediately echoed: "Weichen has just married Jiannei, we can't let her stay alone, it's time to go back to the house, Your Highness, you have to rest earlier—"
Ye Mingqin pulled the collar of his official uniform, directly planning to take his subordinates back:
"Weichen is old and can't afford to make a fuss, so I bid farewell to His Highness."
The crown prince's mouth twitched again, and this time it was Hong Da's turn to say:
"Old man and Xiaoye—"
"Xiao Hong, hurry up!" Ye Mingqin called back from a distance.
Hong Da turned his head in response, and smiled at Jing Yan: "After we discussed it, His Highness can consider joining Zheng Gongxia."
Jing Yan suddenly understood.
——On the sixth day of September, the battle to cut down feudal vassals in Zheng's country was officially over. In just half a year, all ten princes were defeated by An Ruoran.
Ming Huaiyu sent all the three families of the ten kings to Luoyang for the crime of conspiring to seize the palace and usurp the throne three years ago, and ordered them to be executed in public in the market; because there were too many people to be beheaded, the execution ground was crowded for three days. The detached corpses were not even transported in time, and they were piled up next to the guillotine.
Since then, only the emperor Ming Huaiyu remained among the descendants of the Ming clan; and An Ruoran, who conquered Zheng territory within half a year, formally assigned all soldiers and horses under the mobilization of the tiger talisman, and was named the second-rank Dingguo by Ming Huaiyu General.
Zheng Guo has just finished the battle in Anne, and the next step should be to start the war against foreign countries immediately. In fact, this is what he and his brother Changsun Kai think in their hearts:
At the beginning of the year, Anahuan swept the whole of Mobei and ascended to the throne of grassland hegemony. If the Central Plains were not unified as soon as possible, the three kingdoms would only end up being wiped out one by one by Anahuan and Heixuan soldiers.Based on this presumption, they must be looking for the other two countries to attack. It is between the two of them whether they want to unite Xia Fachu or Chu Faxia. What's more, they can stand still and wait until Chu and Xia are both defeated Calmly dispatch troops from Luoyang!
It is Ming Huaiyu and An Ruoran who have been sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight!
"Ming Huaiyu will hold his enthronement ceremony in Luoyang next month, and will spread invitations to the world. Xia Guo has been invited two days ago, and the invitation to Nan Chuxia will be sent to Pingjing soon."
"Mr. Xie Hong and Ye Shangshu are working hard, I will think about it carefully." Jing Yan bowed respectfully.
"Your Highness is being serious again! You and Lingfei are becoming more and more alike." Hong Da waved his hand, then suddenly said to him: "If you are free, please give my regards to the old man, I have always missed this very much A roommate apprentice."
Jing Yan smiled happily: "He also misses Mr. Hong very much. In the past six months, if you hadn't secretly informed us of the news from the court, when King Chichuan and the Xia army were attacking from north to south, the Southern Chu army would not have won two beautiful victories."
"That's what an old man should do! Live your life happily, but don't regret it!" Hong Da laughed and finally said goodbye to Jing Yan.
That night, the maids saw that the lights in the crown prince's study stayed on all night.
"Oh, if this goes on like this, I'm afraid there won't be a crown princess in Nanchu..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Another maid whispered: "Your Highness is wise and brave, so why don't you have a wife!"
"I mean, after the war, His Highness might change his name to His Majesty, and the one he marries will be called Empress!"
"Don't mess with your erotic dreams, Your Highness is a dragon among men, how could he like us?"
"I'm just dreaming..."
The two maids looked at the silhouette under the lamp with admiration on their faces, and walked away with a low smile while beating and scolding.
In the study, the Crown Prince meditated on the map all night. Seeing that it was past five o'clock and the morning court was about to come, he took the paper on the table and wrote a secret letter.
"Send it to Akasaka City Lingfei and Major General Qingyuan as quickly as possible." The crown prince, who put on court clothes, handed out the secret letter, and whispered to the soldiers:
"Everything must be kept secret."
"Here!"
Three days later, Ming Huaiyu invited Jane to the imperial city of Pingjing. In the early morning, the invitation to Jane caused a huge wave again. After the courtiers agreed, the crown prince acquiesced and the emperor nodded his approval. Anqing Wang Jingtai was sent to lead the envoys. A total of 300 people from the regiment and ceremonial motorcade will go north to Luoyang to congratulate the new Emperor Zheng.
In the afternoon of the same day, Crown Prince Jing Yan suddenly fainted in the East Palace, and the entire imperial city fell into panic.
After being diagnosed by the imperial physician, it was confirmed that Jing Yan was overworked and was already extremely weak, and new injuries and old patients who had been injured in the battlefield for many years also needed to be recuperated immediately, otherwise it would cause permanent damage to the body.
The imperial court tried their best to persuade Jing Yan to stay in Beijing to recuperate. Given that the northern war situation is still stalemate, the next big war should wait at least until next spring when the flowers bloom. Will rest in the palace.
Two major generals in Akasaka, Hanzhong, were dismantling the family letter.
"What did the landlord say?" Bai Lingfei raised his eyes and asked in the letter.
There was a smile in Qingyuan's eyes, but he pretended to be disdainful and put the letter face down on the table:
"Isn't it just the stinky farts of those sharp axes. But what's the news from His Highness?"
"It's not the same as the old one."
Qingyuan was stunned, but seeing Bai Lingfei generously covered his face with the letter paper, shook his head and said with emotion:
"It's a guy who always spends his life fooling around."
Qingyuan quickly finished reading the letter, then looked at Bai Lingfei, and saw the major general in white and silver armor nodded slightly, and patted him on the shoulder:
"I'm leaving again. I really can't help you following him as the coach."
Qing Yuan almost took the letter paper to blow his hair——
Hello!Is it really good to leave him here alone every time!
The author has something to say: His Highness is the protagonist full of halo at the moment. From then on, the crown prince is no different from the emperor (in fact, the halo is not too much... The author thinks that most of the treatment comes from His Highness himself), and This aura will also follow the author's law - the more you give, the more you lose
The landlord is really arrogant, so in fact, His Majesty X the landlord's mutual attack is also interesting.
Xiaoye Xiaohong said: You young people are all acting cute, so don't allow other courtiers and veterans to sell you! ?
You don't have to worry about the princess or anything. Your Highness will stand up early?
☆, a glimpse of reincarnation
As soon as the invitation for Ming Huaiyu's enthronement ceremony came out, the Central Plains exploded immediately.
Changsun Sheng was seriously injured in the battle of Taoyao Plain, and he is still recuperating in Chang'an; and Jing Yan also fainted in Pingjing, and will rest in the imperial city throughout the winter, and will not even show up in the early court——
All of a sudden, the one who had the upper hand in the situation was Ming Huaiyu who had never sent a single soldier from Luoyang.
This grand ceremony is equivalent to a grand gathering of the world's heroes. Even though the two Gods of War Xia and Chu have confirmed that they will not go to Luoyang, the turmoil that will happen in this thousand-year-old capital still attracts the attention of the north and the south:
The snow season is approaching. In order to avoid marching in the snow, the battle between Chu and Xia will be stalemate for at least three months, and every major event in Luoyang this winter will have a great impact on the battle situation after the spring blossoms.
The future direction of the entire Central Plains may be quietly determined in Luoyang.
On the eighth day of October, King Anqing set off from Pingjing with [-] envoys, went north to Luoyang as a special envoy from Southern Chu, and brought hundreds of treasures including the East China Sea Night Pearl to express congratulations to Zheng Emperor Ming Huaiyu.
Taking advantage of the prestige of Southern Chu in the Battle of Hanzhong, King Anqing's envoys went north along the canal at Fenlishui, and entered Zheng after breaking away from the border of Southern Chu, without encountering much obstruction along the way.The envoys took Gaojindu, Luoshui, and then diverted to the land route. It only took four or five days before they could go directly to Luoyang.
The news that King Anqing's envoys would arrive at Gaojin Ferry spread across this small ferry in less than half a day.
If you enter and leave Luoyang City via waterways, you just take the Yi and Luo Rivers. Among them, the Luo River is closely connected with the southern canal, which is a better choice for merchant ships.
The three capitals are beautiful and beautiful in the world, Pingjing is boundless, Chang'an is majestic and solemn, but Luoyang's prosperity surpasses the world.
Even in Gaojin Town, you can feel the unique style of Luoyang.
"It was too late to say, but it was too soon. The front wolf soldiers are all Shaolin arhats, and each sword is a Xia soldier. It's like chopping melons and vegetables!"
In this chaotic world, storytellers can make the most money.
The legends admired by the common people were imagined by them, with added salt and vinegar:
"The Master of Yujian Sect is even more powerful! No, no, no! Not only is he powerful, he is the reincarnated God of War and Sword Master! A 'crack' sword!" The storyteller sitting in the restaurant picked up his chopsticks and swiped them a few times, filling the room. Immediately applauded——
"Changsun Sheng had half of his arm cut off, and the blood... splashed all over the floor, scaring him so badly that he passed out immediately..."
The restaurant was too crowded, a young man in white was sitting at the same table with a dozen or so big men, and seeing the storyteller gesticulating, he followed suit with chopsticks, and the big man at his table was even gesticulating with a knife and a sword. , the whole store was discussing how to use the sword moves of the master of Yujianmen, and it was a great time for you to come and go.
"...It's actually not this trick." He muttered to himself, and happened to be heard by the big man next to him, and Tong Ling's big eyes immediately glared at him.
"What did the boy say?"
He blinked innocently, and immediately burst into a innocent and harmless smile: "I heard this passage in other restaurants, it seems that the one who cut off Changsun Sheng's hand was not the master of the Yujian sect, but Crown Prince Jingyan Bar?"
"Fucking the bastard prince!" The big man yelled angrily, and put a long sword horizontally in front of his eyes, "I use a sword! Naturally, it is the Master of the Sword Guard!"
The young man couldn't help laughing, and Xuan Youzhi covered his mouth with both hands to prevent himself from laughing too much.
"How dare you laugh at your master!?"
He nodded, then shook his head desperately, and was picked up by the big man with his collar attached.
His frame was already slender, and he looked as weak as a chicken being lifted up by a tiger. The big man's companion was afraid that he would really be beaten to death, so he immediately stepped forward to separate the two of them.The big man was still angry, he poked the boy's nose and continued to curse:
"I tell you! I have practiced swordsmanship for many years, and I also hope that one day I will meet the master of the Yujian sect and be accepted as an apprentice by his wise eyes!"
The young man nodded desperately—the master of the Yujian sect has no blessing to accept you as his disciple, okay!
"In the past two years, I have listened to all the storytellers in the world, and I have summed up the seven styles of Yujian, just like this——"
The big man wanted to draw his sword out of its sheath, but his companions tried their best to stop him, and finally he played a few tricks in front of the young man with the sword and sheath:
"My swordsmanship is very good, right?"
He continued to nod, as cute as a sheep.
"Shortly there will be the emperor's enthronement ceremony. This time, Gao Jin is crossing Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Do you understand the seven moves of Yujian?"
He nodded subconsciously, then remembered that something was wrong——
"What? You also know how to use commands?" The big man blew his beard and stared straight at him, pointing at him in disbelief: "Only you dare to pretend to be the head of the sect?"
He wanted to cry but had no tears in his heart—what kind of pretense, am I just okay!
"...No, no, brother, you misunderstood." He finally let go of his hands, smiling brightly and cutely, "I don't understand dancing with knives and guns."
"What is this?" The big man pointed to the stick-shaped object wrapped in layers of oilcloth behind him.
He rolled his eyes, and immediately responded, "...it's scrap iron picked up on the street."
"Walk in the rivers and lakes, even if you don't know martial arts, you still have to pretend to know! How can you scare others without someone in hand?"
His innocent smile is as powerful as Jiuxuan, even the crown prince, the ten thousand year old iceberg, has been split open.
The person with the blood curse gathers the power of the wraith, as long as the soul stays alive, he can indeed be brought back to life. It is absolutely impossible for him to survive that battle in the hills, unless... unless it was the effect of the blood curse.
The red glow in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and Jing Yan's mind was circling the spell Mo Lianhua taught him.
——If the blood curse can work, then he can theoretically survive the vow of birth.
The crown prince finally condensed his strength, supported the weight of two people with his hands to support himself, and then pressed the fainted Bai Lingfei under him.
——This is also what I saw in the secret book, I don't know if it can really be done... Among the art of forming with blood, only the oath of life does not require advanced cultivation, but requires the strong spiritual power of the warlock itself.He is a person affected by the spell. As long as you give all the essence, qi, and blood of your body to you, you can overwhelm him with your will and become his temporary master. This is the ultimate way to take away the control of the blood curse on him. Good time, the ancient warlocks also used this method to compete for puppets.But you are only an ordinary body, after taking the blood curse with the oath of epiphany, although he can be saved, you have to bear the evil thoughts of the wraith on his behalf... I really don't know what the final result will be.
A dark light emerged, and a strange crimson glow of blood flowed around Bai Lingfei's neck.
The blood has been exhausted, and the next step is to use the double cultivation technique to drain the essence of the whole body.
"...Forgive me, I can only save you in this way."
Clothes are scattered all over the ground, and the two naked/naked bodies are tenderly intertwined in the dawn.
Bai Lingfei closed his eyes and soaked in his own blood, his face was very quiet and cold, it was an unforgettable beauty.
Jing Yan leaned over to hold him down and kissed him delicately, and slowly covered the phoenix pattern of vines in the rhythm——
Lingfei... I am willing to spend my whole life in exchange for your freedom and clarity.
Asuka woke up, at the moment of dawn, Mo Lianhua and Yiya carried Xiaotian on the left and right, and ran back to the carriage from the jungle not far away.
Mo Lianhua was the most disturbed——
She had no choice but to let Bai Lingfei mess around in the car.If the resurrection technique of the blood curse suddenly fails, and Jing Yan goes back to the west, and at this moment there are two dead bodies in the carriage, even if she is dumb, she will never be able to bring them back to life.
"Emperor brother!"
"asshole!"
Mo Lianhua was stunned, only to see that Jing Yan was wearing a blood-soaked samurai uniform, half of his body leaned out of the carriage, and his face was bloody again!
"Xia Bing has chased to this mountain, hurry up and get on the road."
On the way back to Akasaka, Mo Lianhua's heart was broken.
——One in the car was stabbed twice by Jiu Xuan, and the other bleeds all his blood, looking even worse than the wounded soldier.
She entrusted Yiya and Xiaotian to ride the horse forward, and sat safely in the middle of the carriage, administering needles for Bai Lingfei with her left hand, and changing medicine for Jing Yan's sword wound with her right hand.After a few days, the two of them recovered quickly, and they still had the strength to set up doubts. They misled the pursuers astray many times, so that they and their party escaped from Changsun Sheng's overwhelming hunt.
Yiya and Xiaotian were astonished, but Mo Lianhua was used to this, and explained to them brilliantly:
"They were born to spend the whole world's elixir. Compared with when you major general was rescued back to Waterstone City, these injuries are really minor."
"..." Bai Lingfei realized that he had been insulted, and immediately pointed to the crown prince: "This guy is my boss, can the medical expenses be counted on him?"
"...Then congratulations to your Highness, he has no money at all, and if I collect money, he will go bankrupt."
"No matter how poor I am, I'm still the crown prince. Not to mention raising Lingfei, it's more than enough to raise even this little eye-catching little one."
——The Crown Prince and Ms. Mo really didn't bite each other's strings in the previous life, but they became rivals in love in this life, that's really jealous.
"Who does the bastard say is an eyesore?" Xiaotian pretended to poke the wounds on his body, and said unhappily:
"Here, here, and here on your body are all taken care of by this hero. Speaking of medical expenses, you also owe me a sum."
"Brother Huang hasn't recovered yet, let him go for now." Seeing that both of them are safe and sound, Yi Ya finally felt relieved, and said with a sweet smile:
"Everyone is tired from running around these days, and even Brother Lingfei is not in good spirits. Sister Mo said that there is a mountain spring near here, why don't we go down and take a bath?"
"Okay—huh?" Xiaotian blushed, and was immediately embarrassed on the spot: "No, no, no... You, you, you are a woman, you go and wash first."
Yiya's pink face was flushed, her eyes widened and she was angry:
"I mean go wash your feet! If you think about it again, I'll ask Brother Huang to knock your head off."
"You guys go, Jing Yan and I stay here to observe Xia Bing's movements." Bai Lingfei forced a smile.
Jing Yan glared at Xiaotian first, then glanced at Mo Lianhua lightly.
"Huh? I—" How about some empathy?Single dogs also need love and care!
"Let's just go, I don't care what happens to you two!"
She joined Xiaotian's ranks, made a face at Jing Yan, and got out of the car with Yiya in a chic manner.
Seeing that the three of them had all gone far away, Jing Yan got out of the carriage and walked up the hill where they were. The two of them didn't speak a word along the way until they reached the peak.
There is only one natural barrier in the middle of the pass, and the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan will be unobstructed.
The terrain in Guanzhong is rolling and undulating, and the distant mountains are chaotic and difficult to distinguish. They stand silently on this peak, and they have the illusion of sitting and watching the world.
"You have something to tell me, right?" Jing Yan asked lightly.
Bai Lingfei came to his side and nodded slightly.
"The two swords on your body, and the entire Jianzhong City, I—I couldn't control myself, I'm sorry."
"From the time I slaughtered the temple at Guangmingding, I knew my desire to kill... This is the first time, but it won't be the last time. The family of three from the pharmacy shop owner and Jianzhong City The thousands of people here are all my responsibility.”
He suppressed the inexplicable pain in his throat, took a deep breath, and then looked up into Jing Yan's eyes.
"Jing Yan, when I still have a bit of self-control, I can still hide it from you with a disguise, but the previous Bai Lingfei was just a show. I warned you, don't just identify me, everything you identify , It’s just an illusion I want you to see. You think I’m kind and soft-hearted, and that I’m really sentient, but I’m not...From the beginning to the end, I don’t even have a conscience that is half-human.”
Jing Yan wanted to say something, but was held back by his decisive and cruel words——
"All I have in mind is killing, and you are actually very clear. I have killed prisoners many times before, but you tried every means to suppress me in the army. The me in front of you is only worthy of being used as a tool, and you don't have to use it as a tool." one person."
Jing Yan lowered his eyes to look at him, facing the mountain wind and said in a low voice:
"I've never been able to distinguish your single-mindedness. If you are really a tool, how can you do so much for me?"
"I am only responsible to you." He said indifferently, without even moving his eyes: "The oath I swore when I was loyal to you was to be your sword and cut the way for your Northern Expedition. After that, I will give you all, What I promise you is only a part of my life for you."
"Your eyes can't fool me." He lifted Bai Lingfei's face and said softly, "Do you dare to look at me and say it again?"
"Your Highness, please listen carefully." A sharp smile began to appear on his lips, and he said without hesitation: "To work hard is to work hard. From now on, I will only do my duty in the oath, and when I do my duty, I will do my best." Leave and have nothing to do with His Highness."
"If you don't want to use me, I can leave now; if you still want to use me, then just use me as a butcher's knife to destroy cities and pass barriers for you, and fight from Jiangnan to the desert for you. As for the matter of bed, if you I still want to do it with a tool, and I don’t mind letting you vent your desires, when you get bored, just throw it to others, and I didn’t care about anything.”
Jing Yan laughed and shook his head while listening, and at the end, he almost gasped for breath with laughter.
"It's not that I'm being selfish, but your acting skills are several grades higher than Mo Lianhua's."
Bai Lingfei immediately raised his sword, and pressed the Jiuxuan scabbard against Jing Yan's body.
The wound that had been stabbed twice in the middle of the sheath, he slightly pressed his wrist, and Jing Yan's face immediately turned a little pale.
"Your Highness, you have to think carefully. Your subordinates don't want you to be stabbed for the third time before you realize that you should just use me as a tool."
"I dared to be stabbed by you the first time and the second time, do you think I dare not have the third time?" Jing Yan also smiled, "I just want you to listen to what I have to say."
"Your Highness, please talk nonsense."
The blood that was rarely stopped seeped out again, if Mo Lianhua was here, if he shouted loudly, he would definitely yell the sword away from Jing Yan's heart.
"You feel that you are hopeless, but that night under the city wall, you were the one who controlled the murderous thoughts... Lingfei, you haven't lost yourself." He held Jiuxuan and sighed: "It's so difficult You have passed the first level, I believe you will not lose control again in the future, if you do, at worst, you stab me ten or eight times until you wake up again."
The black iron scabbard had already pierced Jing Yan's chest, and the indifference on Bai Lingfei's face instantly cracked.
"I know you feel guilty and want to make amends, that's why you feel that you are not worthy of everything."
The autumn wind rose high, blowing the beacon fires of the entire Guanzhong to their eyes.
"But the real atonement is not to punish yourself in this way, but to return happiness to those who are still alive. This mission will follow you all your life until you die."
From the beginning to the end, Jing Yan saw through his entire being, and every word and every sentence hit him directly in the heart.
"You always want to repent by yourself, but you forget that the murder in your hands must be reduced by at least half." Jing Yan smiled wryly, lowered his head and said to him: "The other half of the crime should be caused by me and you. Go bear it. Since you want to atone for your sins, then accompany me to atone until the end, and no one will let anyone go."
Bai Lingfei still kept his eyes cold at first, but gradually retracted the sharp thorns as he listened.
"You bastard..." He loosened his fingers and pulled Qing Feng stuck in Jing Yan's body.
The Crown Prince smiled slightly.
"A truly qualified leader should not think about how many people died because of you in the last step, but only how many people will live because of you in the next step." Jing Yan took his hand and slowly held the sword tightly again for him. ——
"The sword is a murder weapon, and swordsmanship is also a way to kill people, but I believe that you are the swordsman who saves the world. Those who control the sword will test the world with the sword, level the world with the sword, and save the world with the sword. That is what you have always regarded as life. Master's oath."
—Take up your sword, my successor.You have to become stronger in order to protect more creatures and bear more pain.
He is on this road, cannot sink, cannot escape, he must become stronger.
He looked away silently, and the Guanzhong River was burning in his eyes.
The body of Jiuxuan sheath is cold and sharply cold, but he is at a loss for the future——
It was this iron-like determination that finally accompanied Bai Lingfei's name and was engraved in the most magnificent history slips.
The author has something to say: PS1. Actually, it's not too cruel...is it?After more than ten chapters were blackened, Xiao Fei came back for nothing~
PS2. There is no need to doubt, Xiao Fei is absolutely unmistakable, even if he is acting, he can only speak those words...
PS3. The first two volumes saw Xiao Fei's redemption of His Highness, and this chapter will see His Highness's redemption of Xiao Fei in the same way.
PS4. If you are instantly killed by His Highness, please offer your knees to this domineering crown prince, even I have fallen in love with my own son (The sword is a murder weapon, and the sword technique is also a way to kill—this is the classic line of Kenshin, Salute to my Two-dimensional male god, who is also a true benevolent swordsman in my heart!)
☆, the road ahead is boundless
Since Jing Yan and Bai Lingfei were ambushed and killed by Zhang Sun Sheng's plan, it was equivalent to exposing the attack plan of the Southern Chu Army, and their dream of opening the gap in Ziwu Valley's defense line by building a city fell through.
Yiya was escorted by the heavy soldiers of the Yinglong Army, and went south to the canal again to return to Pingjing.
As expected in the hall, the princess still defended Jing Yan, but she brought news that shocked even the emperor——
Crown Prince Jing Yan and General Anqing Wang Jingtai returned hand in hand, and returned to Beijing to personally report the war situation to the imperial court and discuss with the officials the next step of the Northern Expeditionary Army's deployment.
This is equivalent to the crown prince's initiative to express goodwill, indicating that he will not completely break with the emperor for the time being; and the return to Beijing is to discuss the strategy of the Northern Expedition, and indirectly demonstrates Jing Yan's determination to regain the Central Plains, so that the millions of soldiers of the Eighth Army are completely at ease.
Although Jing Yan left the front line, he arranged for two major generals under his command, Qing Yuan and Bai Lingfei, to station in Akasaka, Xuan Feng and Yuan Tao to guard Yang'an Pass together. Except for the general Hong Da who had been stationed in Beijing for many years, the most valiant generals in Southern Chu were all Within his control, if he made a mistake in Pingjing, these fierce generals would definitely attack the capital, so no matter how suspicious the court officials were in private, they would never dare to be disrespectful to the crown prince!
On September 23, the crown prince sailed to Fenlishui in a commander-in-chief boat. Southern Chu welcomed back the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Army with the highest standard ever. From Pingtian Square to the gate of the palace, all court officials in Beijing knelt in two rows, facing each other in black robes. Huaguan's Jing Yan bowed his head to greet him.
"God bless Nanchu, Your Highness is a thousand years old——!"
The moment the Crown Prince accompanied King Anqing off the boat, the people in Pingjing applauded enthusiastically. Jing Yan, under the attention of millions of people, calmly walked through the ranks of hundreds of officials, and finally stopped in front of the empress of the palace gate, smiled and bowed Salute——
"I will see my father and queen mother, may God bless Southern Chu, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
If there were firecrackers buried in Pingtian Square, they should all be ignited by the cheers from the capital at this moment.
The owner of Chunri stood in front of Jixian Lane, looking towards Pingtian Square, and suddenly smiled like Jing Yan——
"Interesting."
"Lord?" Oak next to him asked in a low voice.
"Since Emperor Huaiyang Jingpu, there has never been any emperor in the past who can respond to everything like this." Ouyang Shaoming chuckled: "Long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, it's thanks to that guy that he can say it so smoothly."
Li Mu also looked at Pingtian Square indifferently, "The crown prince has already had a great reputation, but he just doesn't know how to deal with it when he returns to court."
"He's a fool, but he won't use Nanchu to make fools of himself. Before he really returns victorious, he has to hide his conscience and call Long Live a few more times."
The fiery red cloak turned around gracefully, and Li Mu called out to him: "Lord, you didn't go back until the ceremony was over?"
The owner of Chunri walked against the current to Jixian Lane, and smiled softly:
"I just want to see which hair that guy is missing. The little fried hair's family letter is still waiting for me to read in the building."
Although it is called a joint strategy, but the crown prince has made great military achievements and has millions of troops in his hands. Who among the court officials can "discuss" the strategy with him?For half a month, Jing Yan returned to the early dynasty, and he was ranked first among the officials with Yan Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. , the morning of the day can also be over.
But even without the wrestling in the early court, Jing Yan is by no means idle in Pingjing.
——As the crown prince and the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Army, the official duties are extremely heavy, but the crown prince is the number one workaholic in the court. He has always had the habit of staying up all night with the lamp on. The servants and servants who have been idle for more than half a year are miserable.
And there is indeed a discussion strategy, but it is not in the court, but in the Eastern Palace in the middle of the night——
"Lingfei is stepping up preparations in Akasaka. The recruits have just been sent to Hanzhong by the Yinglong army. It is time to start training now. In three months at the earliest, there will be another batch of forward wolf troops on the front line."
"This silly boy is desperate again..." Hong Da turned his head and asked, "Is Jing Huankang doing well in Hanzhong?"
"Jing Huankang has gradually emerged, and he has made great achievements in attacking the city many times. After Xie Zhengfeng left Pingjing, he went to the front line to serve as a military officer in the front line, and he complemented him perfectly. Lingfei also mentioned in his last reply that he The relationship between the two has become more and more stable, and now he can handle the tedious affairs of the army on his behalf."
Hearing this, Hong Da felt extremely relieved——
He seems to have stepped out of the shadow of Xiangzhou City... Fortunately, the tragedy did not destroy this little prince in the end.
"It's already the beginning of October, and the snow season in Guanzhong comes earlier than in Pingjing. In just one month, there will be the first snow in Chang'an; in more than ten days, winter snow will come to Hanzhong." Jing Yan put down the bamboo slips , showing a little tiredness.
The guards in the study were all dismissed by the Crown Prince, only Ye Mingqin, Minister of the Ministry of War, Xu Ru, General Counselor of the Eighth Army, and Hong Da, the general who was supposed to guard outside Pingjing, remained.
Facing the sheepskin map on the case, the four of them frowned and thought hard. Xu Ru sighed heavily, shook his head and said:
"Ziwu Valley's defense line is the most difficult barrier in the Central Plains. One month is definitely not enough to break through it. Brother Changsun Kai has narrowed down the scope of defense in an all-round way. Every time Nanchu attacks the city again, it must be extremely difficult."
"It was my negligence. If I hadn't exposed myself in Jianzhong City, the situation in Guanzhong might be completely different now."
Ye Mingqin stroked his beard and smiled: "Your Highness, there is no need to blame yourself. I think you are right. The mysterious killer does not seem to be on the same side as Xia Jun. Otherwise, his martial arts can be comparable to Major General Lingfei. There are also many opportunities to get off the phone."
"Haha... the old man also saw the same thing as Xiaoye." Hong Dalang laughed.
Both Xu Ru and Jing Yan's faces twitched slightly.
"...Xiao Hong, didn't I tell you not to call me by my nickname?"
"Don't you call me that now?" Hong Da pointed at Ye Mingqin and laughed, then turned to Jing Yan and said, "Your Highness, which one of us has the better nickname?"
Xu Ru couldn't help but slapped the table and laughed, the corner of Jing Yan's mouth twitched, and he immediately responded with all his wit:
"...The two seniors are both literary and military, and they are the mainstays of the Southern Chu Dynasty. Master Shangshu knows the autumn with a leaf, and Lao Hong has a voice like a bell. In my heart, they are very suitable for your nicknames."
"Haha!" The two adults looked at each other and smiled, Hong Da gave the crown prince a thumbs up: "Small words make sense!"
Xu Ru almost laughed into a ball on the ground, Jing Yan kicked him lightly, but also shook his head and smiled——
Bai Lingfei changed this nickname that made people cry for him. Fortunately, it didn't become Xiaohong's name in the end, otherwise he would have cried out for Nan Chujun.
After joking, Hong Da shook his head and sighed: "Even if we can cross the defense line from Jianzhong, our army will be even more difficult in Guanzhong."
"The Ziwu Valley defense line will trap the forward soldiers and horses in the pass. If we have a food transport team, Chang Sun Kai will send people to chase after us, gradually weakening our vitality. Chang'an is one of the three major cities in the world. Even if our army is strong and clear We will not be able to take it down for a year or so, and when our morale starts to weaken, Brother Changsun Kai will use the soldiers and horses that have retreated to Guanzhong to recharge their batteries to counterattack, and we will be wiped out in Guanzhong if we cannot escape."
Even a man as far-sighted as Jing Yan has to admire Hong Da's analysis from the bottom of his heart.
Xu Ru sighed: "To have such an exhaustive strategy, Changsun Sheng is indeed the number one brave commander in the Xia Kingdom."
Jing Yan shook his head.
"It didn't come from Changsun Sheng. If so, he wouldn't have ambushed Lingfei and me in Jianzhong, but should have allowed us to leave the city and lead his troops into Xia Jun's trap."
Xu Ru's expression changed: "Could it be——"
"It's Changsun Kai." Jing Yan rubbed his temples, and the tiredness in his eyes became more intense: "But Changsun Sheng hated us so much that he ruined his brother's plan. In this way, I also want to be grateful on behalf of the Eighth Army His ambush."
Since the Battle of Taowo Plain, Xia Jun's advantage has disappeared point by point, and the battle has begun to tilt to the side of Southern Chu.However, Changsun Kai has been making secret arrangements since then, and he almost fell into the trap.Up to now, because of his full retreat order, Xia Jun has gradually regained the battle situation without any effort-such an unfathomable opponent is no less inferior to Changsun Sheng on the battlefield!
"But when I was laying down in Jianzhong City, I was really surprised." Jing Yan folded his arms on his chest, tapping his elbows unconsciously with five fingers, "Even if Changsun Sheng expected that we wanted to attack Jianzhong, how could he have guessed that I would meet with him in person? Lingfei sneaked into the city? We had to change our faces in the city every day before we went out. We were very careful in everything. How could he know exactly when we left the city, and also knew that we had Yiya and Xiao with us? sky?"
Xu Ru was taken aback immediately: "Your Highness suspects that there are traitors in the army?"
"Qingyuan has always been cautious in handling affairs, and Lingfei and I sneaked into Jianzhong, and only the generals at the commanding level in the Northern Expedition Army knew about it."
Everyone was silent for a while——
The Southern Chu generals in the north are all confidantes who have followed Jing Yan for many years. Could it be that something happened at this stage?
"Maybe it's just my overthinking." The crown prince shook his head to drive away his thoughts.
Hong Dalang laughed a few times, dispelling the solemn atmosphere in the room:
"It's late, Your Highness has worked too hard this year, you should take a good rest when you return to Beijing." He patted Jing Yan, and said in a low voice: "I really can't see you and Lingfei... this is a major national event. What, what, it should be me and Xiaoye, the old guys. You are still young, and health is the most precious capital, so remember not to waste it so quickly."
Xu Ru received Ye Mingqin's gaze, and immediately echoed: "Weichen has just married Jiannei, we can't let her stay alone, it's time to go back to the house, Your Highness, you have to rest earlier—"
Ye Mingqin pulled the collar of his official uniform, directly planning to take his subordinates back:
"Weichen is old and can't afford to make a fuss, so I bid farewell to His Highness."
The crown prince's mouth twitched again, and this time it was Hong Da's turn to say:
"Old man and Xiaoye—"
"Xiao Hong, hurry up!" Ye Mingqin called back from a distance.
Hong Da turned his head in response, and smiled at Jing Yan: "After we discussed it, His Highness can consider joining Zheng Gongxia."
Jing Yan suddenly understood.
——On the sixth day of September, the battle to cut down feudal vassals in Zheng's country was officially over. In just half a year, all ten princes were defeated by An Ruoran.
Ming Huaiyu sent all the three families of the ten kings to Luoyang for the crime of conspiring to seize the palace and usurp the throne three years ago, and ordered them to be executed in public in the market; because there were too many people to be beheaded, the execution ground was crowded for three days. The detached corpses were not even transported in time, and they were piled up next to the guillotine.
Since then, only the emperor Ming Huaiyu remained among the descendants of the Ming clan; and An Ruoran, who conquered Zheng territory within half a year, formally assigned all soldiers and horses under the mobilization of the tiger talisman, and was named the second-rank Dingguo by Ming Huaiyu General.
Zheng Guo has just finished the battle in Anne, and the next step should be to start the war against foreign countries immediately. In fact, this is what he and his brother Changsun Kai think in their hearts:
At the beginning of the year, Anahuan swept the whole of Mobei and ascended to the throne of grassland hegemony. If the Central Plains were not unified as soon as possible, the three kingdoms would only end up being wiped out one by one by Anahuan and Heixuan soldiers.Based on this presumption, they must be looking for the other two countries to attack. It is between the two of them whether they want to unite Xia Fachu or Chu Faxia. What's more, they can stand still and wait until Chu and Xia are both defeated Calmly dispatch troops from Luoyang!
It is Ming Huaiyu and An Ruoran who have been sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight!
"Ming Huaiyu will hold his enthronement ceremony in Luoyang next month, and will spread invitations to the world. Xia Guo has been invited two days ago, and the invitation to Nan Chuxia will be sent to Pingjing soon."
"Mr. Xie Hong and Ye Shangshu are working hard, I will think about it carefully." Jing Yan bowed respectfully.
"Your Highness is being serious again! You and Lingfei are becoming more and more alike." Hong Da waved his hand, then suddenly said to him: "If you are free, please give my regards to the old man, I have always missed this very much A roommate apprentice."
Jing Yan smiled happily: "He also misses Mr. Hong very much. In the past six months, if you hadn't secretly informed us of the news from the court, when King Chichuan and the Xia army were attacking from north to south, the Southern Chu army would not have won two beautiful victories."
"That's what an old man should do! Live your life happily, but don't regret it!" Hong Da laughed and finally said goodbye to Jing Yan.
That night, the maids saw that the lights in the crown prince's study stayed on all night.
"Oh, if this goes on like this, I'm afraid there won't be a crown princess in Nanchu..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Another maid whispered: "Your Highness is wise and brave, so why don't you have a wife!"
"I mean, after the war, His Highness might change his name to His Majesty, and the one he marries will be called Empress!"
"Don't mess with your erotic dreams, Your Highness is a dragon among men, how could he like us?"
"I'm just dreaming..."
The two maids looked at the silhouette under the lamp with admiration on their faces, and walked away with a low smile while beating and scolding.
In the study, the Crown Prince meditated on the map all night. Seeing that it was past five o'clock and the morning court was about to come, he took the paper on the table and wrote a secret letter.
"Send it to Akasaka City Lingfei and Major General Qingyuan as quickly as possible." The crown prince, who put on court clothes, handed out the secret letter, and whispered to the soldiers:
"Everything must be kept secret."
"Here!"
Three days later, Ming Huaiyu invited Jane to the imperial city of Pingjing. In the early morning, the invitation to Jane caused a huge wave again. After the courtiers agreed, the crown prince acquiesced and the emperor nodded his approval. Anqing Wang Jingtai was sent to lead the envoys. A total of 300 people from the regiment and ceremonial motorcade will go north to Luoyang to congratulate the new Emperor Zheng.
In the afternoon of the same day, Crown Prince Jing Yan suddenly fainted in the East Palace, and the entire imperial city fell into panic.
After being diagnosed by the imperial physician, it was confirmed that Jing Yan was overworked and was already extremely weak, and new injuries and old patients who had been injured in the battlefield for many years also needed to be recuperated immediately, otherwise it would cause permanent damage to the body.
The imperial court tried their best to persuade Jing Yan to stay in Beijing to recuperate. Given that the northern war situation is still stalemate, the next big war should wait at least until next spring when the flowers bloom. Will rest in the palace.
Two major generals in Akasaka, Hanzhong, were dismantling the family letter.
"What did the landlord say?" Bai Lingfei raised his eyes and asked in the letter.
There was a smile in Qingyuan's eyes, but he pretended to be disdainful and put the letter face down on the table:
"Isn't it just the stinky farts of those sharp axes. But what's the news from His Highness?"
"It's not the same as the old one."
Qingyuan was stunned, but seeing Bai Lingfei generously covered his face with the letter paper, shook his head and said with emotion:
"It's a guy who always spends his life fooling around."
Qingyuan quickly finished reading the letter, then looked at Bai Lingfei, and saw the major general in white and silver armor nodded slightly, and patted him on the shoulder:
"I'm leaving again. I really can't help you following him as the coach."
Qing Yuan almost took the letter paper to blow his hair——
Hello!Is it really good to leave him here alone every time!
The author has something to say: His Highness is the protagonist full of halo at the moment. From then on, the crown prince is no different from the emperor (in fact, the halo is not too much... The author thinks that most of the treatment comes from His Highness himself), and This aura will also follow the author's law - the more you give, the more you lose
The landlord is really arrogant, so in fact, His Majesty X the landlord's mutual attack is also interesting.
Xiaoye Xiaohong said: You young people are all acting cute, so don't allow other courtiers and veterans to sell you! ?
You don't have to worry about the princess or anything. Your Highness will stand up early?
☆, a glimpse of reincarnation
As soon as the invitation for Ming Huaiyu's enthronement ceremony came out, the Central Plains exploded immediately.
Changsun Sheng was seriously injured in the battle of Taoyao Plain, and he is still recuperating in Chang'an; and Jing Yan also fainted in Pingjing, and will rest in the imperial city throughout the winter, and will not even show up in the early court——
All of a sudden, the one who had the upper hand in the situation was Ming Huaiyu who had never sent a single soldier from Luoyang.
This grand ceremony is equivalent to a grand gathering of the world's heroes. Even though the two Gods of War Xia and Chu have confirmed that they will not go to Luoyang, the turmoil that will happen in this thousand-year-old capital still attracts the attention of the north and the south:
The snow season is approaching. In order to avoid marching in the snow, the battle between Chu and Xia will be stalemate for at least three months, and every major event in Luoyang this winter will have a great impact on the battle situation after the spring blossoms.
The future direction of the entire Central Plains may be quietly determined in Luoyang.
On the eighth day of October, King Anqing set off from Pingjing with [-] envoys, went north to Luoyang as a special envoy from Southern Chu, and brought hundreds of treasures including the East China Sea Night Pearl to express congratulations to Zheng Emperor Ming Huaiyu.
Taking advantage of the prestige of Southern Chu in the Battle of Hanzhong, King Anqing's envoys went north along the canal at Fenlishui, and entered Zheng after breaking away from the border of Southern Chu, without encountering much obstruction along the way.The envoys took Gaojindu, Luoshui, and then diverted to the land route. It only took four or five days before they could go directly to Luoyang.
The news that King Anqing's envoys would arrive at Gaojin Ferry spread across this small ferry in less than half a day.
If you enter and leave Luoyang City via waterways, you just take the Yi and Luo Rivers. Among them, the Luo River is closely connected with the southern canal, which is a better choice for merchant ships.
The three capitals are beautiful and beautiful in the world, Pingjing is boundless, Chang'an is majestic and solemn, but Luoyang's prosperity surpasses the world.
Even in Gaojin Town, you can feel the unique style of Luoyang.
"It was too late to say, but it was too soon. The front wolf soldiers are all Shaolin arhats, and each sword is a Xia soldier. It's like chopping melons and vegetables!"
In this chaotic world, storytellers can make the most money.
The legends admired by the common people were imagined by them, with added salt and vinegar:
"The Master of Yujian Sect is even more powerful! No, no, no! Not only is he powerful, he is the reincarnated God of War and Sword Master! A 'crack' sword!" The storyteller sitting in the restaurant picked up his chopsticks and swiped them a few times, filling the room. Immediately applauded——
"Changsun Sheng had half of his arm cut off, and the blood... splashed all over the floor, scaring him so badly that he passed out immediately..."
The restaurant was too crowded, a young man in white was sitting at the same table with a dozen or so big men, and seeing the storyteller gesticulating, he followed suit with chopsticks, and the big man at his table was even gesticulating with a knife and a sword. , the whole store was discussing how to use the sword moves of the master of Yujianmen, and it was a great time for you to come and go.
"...It's actually not this trick." He muttered to himself, and happened to be heard by the big man next to him, and Tong Ling's big eyes immediately glared at him.
"What did the boy say?"
He blinked innocently, and immediately burst into a innocent and harmless smile: "I heard this passage in other restaurants, it seems that the one who cut off Changsun Sheng's hand was not the master of the Yujian sect, but Crown Prince Jingyan Bar?"
"Fucking the bastard prince!" The big man yelled angrily, and put a long sword horizontally in front of his eyes, "I use a sword! Naturally, it is the Master of the Sword Guard!"
The young man couldn't help laughing, and Xuan Youzhi covered his mouth with both hands to prevent himself from laughing too much.
"How dare you laugh at your master!?"
He nodded, then shook his head desperately, and was picked up by the big man with his collar attached.
His frame was already slender, and he looked as weak as a chicken being lifted up by a tiger. The big man's companion was afraid that he would really be beaten to death, so he immediately stepped forward to separate the two of them.The big man was still angry, he poked the boy's nose and continued to curse:
"I tell you! I have practiced swordsmanship for many years, and I also hope that one day I will meet the master of the Yujian sect and be accepted as an apprentice by his wise eyes!"
The young man nodded desperately—the master of the Yujian sect has no blessing to accept you as his disciple, okay!
"In the past two years, I have listened to all the storytellers in the world, and I have summed up the seven styles of Yujian, just like this——"
The big man wanted to draw his sword out of its sheath, but his companions tried their best to stop him, and finally he played a few tricks in front of the young man with the sword and sheath:
"My swordsmanship is very good, right?"
He continued to nod, as cute as a sheep.
"Shortly there will be the emperor's enthronement ceremony. This time, Gao Jin is crossing Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Do you understand the seven moves of Yujian?"
He nodded subconsciously, then remembered that something was wrong——
"What? You also know how to use commands?" The big man blew his beard and stared straight at him, pointing at him in disbelief: "Only you dare to pretend to be the head of the sect?"
He wanted to cry but had no tears in his heart—what kind of pretense, am I just okay!
"...No, no, brother, you misunderstood." He finally let go of his hands, smiling brightly and cutely, "I don't understand dancing with knives and guns."
"What is this?" The big man pointed to the stick-shaped object wrapped in layers of oilcloth behind him.
He rolled his eyes, and immediately responded, "...it's scrap iron picked up on the street."
"Walk in the rivers and lakes, even if you don't know martial arts, you still have to pretend to know! How can you scare others without someone in hand?"
His innocent smile is as powerful as Jiuxuan, even the crown prince, the ten thousand year old iceberg, has been split open.
