Dingjiangshan

Ning Huaijin was rendered speechless by what he said, so she could only pat him on the back hastily, and was forced to make a bunch of "promises" to make up for it.

"It was my fault that I missed your coronation ceremony." Ning Huaijin said: "I was confused at the time. No matter what, such a big event should not be absent."

Ning Huaijin paused, as if she felt that such an "apology" was too insincere, so she hastily added: "No matter what this year, I will go back to spend with you until your birthday."

Ning Yan got Prince Gong's guarantee, so he let go of his hand contentedly, and held it in the palm of his hand, walking down the mountain.

"I'm going to write down this sentence on paper when I go back, and I'll sign it for you." Ning Yan was unreasonable: "I'll save it if you are on the front line and say that the battle is urgent and refuse to go to the appointment." .”

"No." Ning Huaijin stretched out her hand to block the slanted branches beside the path for him, and was afraid that he might not be able to see the road clearly in the dark, so she pulled the person to her side and said casually, "I was not there when you reached the crown last year." , Ruan Yin sent you a Jiang Xuan, which made you so tired that you were infected with cold poison. This year, we will make them hurt too—”

With a thought in his mind, Ning Yan asked, "What?"

"There is still more than a month until your birthday..." Ning Huaijin paused, lowered her voice, and said seriously: "I will take down Xinyang and give you a birthday present."

Ning Yan subconsciously looked sideways at Ning Huaijin.

Under the moonlight, Ning Huaijin's body was covered with a thin layer of frost, with a flat expression between her brows and eyes, as if she was talking about a very ordinary thing.

But Ning Yan knew that Ning Huaijin had always kept his word, and he would never joke about such things. Since he could say it, he must already know it in his heart.

In fact, Ning Yan didn't pay much attention to the ceremony and the crowning ceremony. At that time, there were everyone at the crowning ceremony, and everyone had different thoughts, and not all of them came to wish him sincerely.Compared with the so-called "beginning of life", it was more like a legitimate occasion to connect the feelings of the monarch and his subjects. In fact, there was no difference between Ning Huaijin's presence and absence.

What's more, Ning Yan has always felt that there are still countless days and nights to go in the future between him and Ning Huaijin. There is really no need to fight for the length of the day and night. If you miss it, you will miss it. There is nothing to complain about.

When Ning Yan brought up this matter, he just wanted to use it as an excuse to get some sweetness from Ning Huaijin, and at the same time, he tried to test Ning Huaijin's bottom line on "closeness".

It's just that Ning Yan didn't expect that his casual mention actually aroused Ning Huaijin's thoughts, and after hearing this remark, it seemed that he hadn't thought about it temporarily, but had planned it for a long time.

Ning Yan inexplicably felt a heat in his heart, and held Ning Huaijin's hand tightly.

In fact, Ning Yan always knew that Ning Huaijin was very kind to him, and over the years, he also cared about every detail and trifle.But for some reason, in this situation, he actually felt another subtle sense of joy.

Ning Huaijin didn't know what was twisting and turning in his heart, but thought he was chilled by the night wind.Ning Huaijin stretched out her hand to wrap Ning Yan's cloak around her, and felt that the cloak was too thin, so she simply stretched out her hand to wrap him around him, half-embracing and half-embracing him.

"There's a mud puddle ahead." Ning Huaijin looked at the road and said, "Be careful where you step."

Ning Yan gave a low hum, and followed him down the mountain obediently.

Ning Yan knows very well that the kind of warmth tonight is not easy to come by, and it can't last too long—he sneaked out of Nanyang to come to the front line, which is not in compliance with the rules, let alone the large number of memorials and military newspapers coming and going in Nanyang. Pile up for too long.That is to say, if the fact that he left Nanyang without authorization is known to the enemy army on the opposite side, there is no guarantee that they will not take risks for him and send troops to search around, but Ning Huaijin and the others will get in the way.

When Ning Yan came, he had already made up his mind that he would stay here for at most one night before leaving, so even if he took the time to travel back and forth, he would not delay anything.But when he came, he realized that the overall situation and rationality he was proud of wanted to run away when he saw Ning Huaijin, not to mention that he had just communicated with Ning Huaijin, and he really didn't want to separate like this.

Thinking about this kind of thing will only give people a headache. The more Ning Yan thinks about it, the more irritable he becomes. Just like Ning Huaijin, he puts aside undecided things for the time being, and it's not too late to think about them when they come to an end.

Ning Yan thought about it, and suddenly another thing came to his mind.

"Speaking of which, I heard from Zhaoming in the tent that your opponent is a bit difficult to deal with this time?" Ning Yan asked.

"Yes." Ning Huaijin said: "I don't know that Ning Zheng has hired a handsome talent. I heard that his surname is Feng, and he is sitting in Tongbai County. The closure of Tongbai County is his idea. These days, We can get very little information, all because he takes Tongbai County very seriously."

"Surnamed Feng?" Ning Yan pondered for a while, then said, "I don't remember that any of Ning Zheng's subordinates has a general with this surname."

"I have also discussed this matter with Zhaoming." Ning Huaijin said: "Not to mention the Anqing Mansion, there is no military general with the surname Feng in the entire court. But judging by the way that man uses troops, it doesn't seem like he came from somewhere." Out of recklessness, he used his troops neatly and neatly. Although he was a little too cautious, he would never fail every time he sent troops-think about people like Zheng Shaohui who did not show their mountains and dews in Beijing before. It's hard to say."

"You don't have to worry about it, just deal with it calmly." Ning Yan said: "This person's background is just the orphan of a martyr, or the son of a criminal minister, and there is no need to think of him as a rare genius who is rewarded by the heavens." .”

"The son of a guilty minister?" Ning Huaijin was taken aback. He hadn't thought about this before, but now that Ning Yan mentioned it, it's not impossible.

"Ten years ago, the father was old, and he was afraid that he would not be able to control the government. His suspicions grew day by day. The third brother and the fourth brother were vying for the position, and no one was less likely to attack the generals." The two fish that slipped through the net were picked up by the third brother—"

"After all, not everyone is as lucky as Zhaoming." Ning Yan said.

Ning Huaijin fell silent.

It's not very nice to talk about the first emperor indiscriminately, so Ning Yan can just say a few words, and he can't argue with him.

"But if that's the case, it's a good thing." Ning Yan said thoughtfully.

Ning Huaijin didn't react for a while, and said, "Why?"

"You can see that he treasures Tongbai County like this." Ning Yan raised his chin in the direction of Anqing Mansion, and said with a sneer, "My third brother has always had more than enough courage and not enough planning. It's written on his face without saying anything, so it's easy to guess. He has been a legitimate son since he was a child, and everything he has seen is the best. Even if it is rebellion, he is occupying the most affluent hinterland in the south of the Yangtze River. You say Such a person, how could he fall in love with the son of a criminal minister?"

"what do you mean--"

"At the beginning, the third brother didn't even pay much attention to the Governor of Anqing. Even if he has become a bit "down and down" these years, he must not be able to become a virtuous and virtuous corporal." Ning Yan said: "So I doubt that this person is Ruan Yin. searched for him."

"Ruan Yin has been a villain for the past ten years, and it is indeed possible to secretly plan for Ning Zheng." Ning Huaijin said.

"But look, the man surnamed Feng is obviously talented as a soldier, but he has to be so cautious in guarding a small county." Ning Yan said meaningfully: "Obviously he also came here with shackles on his back."

"You mean, Ning Zheng doesn't necessarily fully trust this Feng?" Ning Huaijin asked.

Ning Yan nodded and said, "Actually, it's not necessarily because of suspicion, maybe it's because he doesn't have much trust in his ability, or maybe it's something else. In short, Tongbai County is probably also a card given to Ning Zheng by this person. Vote for the certificate, if this vanguard is well behaved, he will be able to show his face in front of Ning Zheng in the future, if not—”

Before Ning Yan finished speaking, he left a small introduction, but Ning Huaijin is also a member of the royal family, so there is nothing he doesn't understand.

If something goes wrong in Tongbai County, then this person will also lose face in front of Ning Zheng, and it is hard to say whether he can recover in the future.

Ning Yan was right, he really came at the right time, Ning Huaijin thought.

He was the same as Xie Jue, fighting was no problem, whether it was arranging troops or fighting in the art of war, he would not necessarily be at a disadvantage if he bumped into the enemy's army face to face.

But when it comes to this kind of scheming, he is indeed not as quick-witted as Ning Yan.

Ning Yan's words reminded Ning Huaijin that Xie Jue really had a headache for that general named Feng before, and there was no other reason, it was because they had too many constraints on their side, and that Feng who caught them did not dare to be tough The siege of the city has only dragged on for so long.

But when Ning Yan said this, Ning Huaijin had a solid idea - they were anxious here, and they might not be able to sleep peacefully on the other side.

"I don't know how many generals the third brother has in his hands, but I don't think there are too many." Ning Yan said: "One is that this kind of person is not a carrot or cabbage, and you can easily find it in the streets. Second, the third brother In fact, I was not prepared to rebel before, and my own preparations may not be sufficient."

"No matter what, it's a one-off win." Ning Huaijin said: "If he has fewer available people, it will give us a better chance of winning."

Ning Yan thought for a while, and seemed to want to say something, but hesitated again, just nodded, and said, "That's right."

Tongbai County is the shortest route between Nanyang and Xinyang, and Xinyang City is an important checkpoint for Ning Yan to enter Anqing, so although neither of them said it clearly, they both understand that this is not a match that can be done. Talk and laugh.

Ning Zheng wanted to advance towards the capital, while Ning Yan wanted to surround him to death in Anqing Mansion. Xinyang City was in the middle, which became the last layer of barriers. Sooner or later, someone would tear this gap.

This barrier is still in Ning Zheng's hands for the time being, and he knows that he will not let go so easily.

Even if something happened in Tongbai County, the general surnamed Feng would be useless, and Ning Zheng would change to keep his promise in Yangcheng—or even more desperate, maybe he himself would not be able to sit still.

"Huaijin." Ning Yan was obviously thinking the same thing as Ning Huaijin. He walked for a while with a heavy heart, but finally couldn't hold back, and said in a low voice: "If one day, Ning Zheng personally leads the army to the battlefield Before, you must send a letter to tell me."

"Okay." Ning Huaijin said.

Ning Huaijin knew that in fact, Ning Yanlu wanted to conscript himself from a long distance, but it was just for Ning Zheng. After all, they are brothers connected by blood. That thin bloodline.

"But it's not necessarily true." Ning Yan pretended to be relaxed: "Maybe the third brother has learned over the years, and maybe he has become able to calm down."
