Liu Huafei

It was the fourth attack of the besieging enemy at that time.The soldiers defending the city suffered a lot of casualties in the previous few resistances, and Lian Nianhua gradually felt a wave of despair, but he was holding on with his breath.

He is here to help Zihan, he wants to accompany Zihan to the end, he must not show helplessness and despair in front of Zihan.

The army brought by Yuan Mutian seemed to fall from the sky, and there were dead bodies all over the city outside the wide open city gate.

Standing beside Nianhua, Cheng Zihan watched Yuan Mutian slowly approach on horseback.

"His Royal Highness Ji, I would like to thank you for defending Jicheng so that Mingfang can deploy calmly." Yuan Mutian looked at Cheng Zihan and said to him in a majestic voice.There is no personal grudge on the battlefield, and the emperor's gratitude at this moment is full of sincerity.

Cheng Zihan pursed his lips and nodded slightly.

"You... why did you come to save everyone now." Nian Hua opened his mouth, but he felt that his words were not expressive, and he didn't mean to complain.

Yuan Mutian shifted his gaze to him, but a smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face: "Nianhua, I will personally lead the army to fight against the rebels, you are willing to go with me."

"Going with you—to join the war?" Nian Hua's eyes lit up.

Yuan Mutian nodded: "Nianhua, you are good at martial arts, but you don't know how to march. If you never learn or practice, at best you can only punish the bravery of a man, so you can't save the city, let alone save the common people in the world."

"I can teach you."

"I—can give you the widest battlefield, let you temper in the flames of war!"

"Only I can give you these. Nianhua, you are willing to go with me."

A hand reached out to him.Nianhua only felt that his heart was full of joy, and his eyes flashed with longing light.He turned his head to look at Cheng Zihan, Cheng Zihan couldn't help clenching the cold weapon in his hand.

"I will send someone to escort King Ji back to Beijing. King Rui is currently handling state affairs on my behalf in Beijing. He has always missed His Highness King Ji very much."

Cheng Zihan glanced at Yuan Mutian with a complicated expression, then looked at Nianhua, and opened his mouth: "Nianhua..."

"Zihan, I want to learn those things from Yuan Mutian." Nianhua said, "The siege of Jicheng has been lifted, and the people will definitely be properly resettled. There are wars everywhere here. If you are weak, let Yuan Mutian Send someone to protect you and return to Beijing as soon as possible. After our victorious team returns to the court, I will visit you."

Cheng Zihan smiled reluctantly, but finally nodded to Nianhua.

Nianhua shook his hand reluctantly: "You have to take good care of yourself. Chen Zheng, Zihan will be counting on you."

"Nianhua──" Although Yuan Mutian was smiling, there was some displeasure in his voice.

Chen Zheng walked up to Cheng Zihan, took his arm and smiled at Nianhua, "Don't worry, I will take good care of His Highness Prince Ji."

Nian Hua had just walked to Yuan Mutian's side, and before he could speak, Yuan Mutian suddenly reached out and took Nian Hua onto his horse's back.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Nianhua exclaimed, feeling a little resentful in his heart, does this Yuan Mutian have to break his illusion of a perfect emperor so quickly.Nianhua lowered his voice and said, "It's shameless for you to sit on a horse in such heavy clothes. Do you want to exhaust this poor pony to death?! Give me a horse, and I can ride it myself!"

"Shut up." Yuan Mutian murmured displeasedly in his ear, pulled the reins, and the tall horse flew into the air, neighed in the middle of the air, then turned around and ran towards the outside of the city gate.

Cheng Zihan took two steps forward, but was blocked by several groups of elite soldiers who followed Yuan Mutian in an orderly manner, and could only watch the silver battle armor get further and further away until it disappeared.

Maybe only when he is in danger, there will be someone who belongs to him wholeheartedly.

So, shouldn't he be content?

"Your Highness, the emperor sent dozens of people from the guard battalion to stay and prepare to escort His Highness back to the capital." The subordinate who had been following him all the time reported respectfully behind him.

Cheng Zihan looked around, the siege had been lifted, Xiao Jun's army had also left, more and more people came out of their hiding places, gathered on both sides of the street that used to be prosperous, but now there is only a desolate scene, He looked at him apprehensively.

"I can't leave now." Cheng Zihan said in a low voice, clenched the weapon in his hand, turned around and walked towards the same dilapidated old palace.

Chen Zheng shook his head, put the knife back into the scabbard, explained to the guards, let everyone settle down first, and then slowly walked in the direction Cheng Zihan left.

-

Nian Hua followed Xiao Guo's army all the way to attack, and only then did he see Yuan Mutian's many other faces besides the arrogant emperor.Eating the wind and drinking the dew is nothing, and commanding calmly on the ever-changing battlefield is also nothing to worry about.He is not an emperor now, but more like a general who advances and retreats with thousands of soldiers, lives and dies together.

Nianhua finally understood where his majesty to order no one in the world dared to defy came from. It was the Hehe Diwei he had fought in thousands of battles.He also understands Su Weilingqing and Jun Mingfang's feelings for Yuan Mutian—half a king who serves the superior, half a heart-to-heart brother, they must be as respectful as they are to a king, and must be as loyal as they are to their brothers.

Such feelings made Nianhua envious.

Yuan Mutian may be so arrogant to women and bed partners, but other than that, he is really charming to the point of scum.

"Nianhua saw that I was so fascinated, what was he thinking?" Yuan Mutian glanced at Nianhua, smiled, and continued to turn the hare meat that was sizzling on the bonfire.

"Ah? No... didn't think about anything." Nian Hua suddenly came back to his senses, shaking his head again and again.

Yuan Mutian handed him a skewer of grilled meat, and continued to smile: "Oh? But looking at Nianhua, my saliva is almost drooling. Didn't I think about it?"

"I...I'm craving barbecue!" Nianhua took the meat and said with a firm mouth, biting it down, with a lingering fragrance on his teeth and cheeks.

"It's delicious! Yuan... Your Majesty, if you were in our era, you must be a chef with a tall hat!" Nian Hua exaggeratedly praised.

Yuan Mutian never went deep into Nianhua's weird words, just continued to look at him with a smile.

Nian Hua felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at him with deep meaning in his eyes, besides, he was indeed dreaming just now, and Yuan Mutian couldn't let Yuan Mutian know about it.

Nianhua continued to change the subject, and asked: "We have been ambushing here for several days, when are we going to attack Qinchi?"

Yuan Mutian smiled and said, "When it's time to fight, I will fight naturally."

"Hmph, pretending to be profound..." Nianhua muttered dissatisfiedly.

It turned out that the enemy troops trapped outside Jicheng were not wiped out by Yuan Mutian's army, but their old nest, Qinchi, was attacked. They hurried back to help, giving up their plan to capture Jicheng and then attack Jikang.

Two ambush troops sent by Jun Mingfang had already been deployed outside Qinchi. Once the main force of the rebels entered the ambush site, the ambush army would join up with the army brought by Yuan Mutian and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

It's just that Jun Mingfang led troops to attack another main force of Japanese pirates, but something happened, and some people escaped from the siege and fled to Qinchi.

That's why Yuan Mu ordered temporarily to stand still for the time being, just waiting for the fish that slipped through the net to arrive and defeat them together.

"For the common people, the Japanese pirates are far more dangerous than the rebels. I will never allow the tigers to go back to the mountains. Otherwise, I am afraid that once the army withdraws, their hatred will come back and the damage will be even more serious." Yuan Mutian said while handing Nianhua A roast.

Holding the meat, Nian Hua said with sparkling eyes, "Yuan Mutian, you may be a bad man, but you are really a good emperor."

"I thought you were praising me." Yuan Mutian sighed helplessly, stretched out his hand and said to Nianhua: "Come here, I will teach you some methods of marching and formation tonight."

"But it's too late..." Nianhua really wanted to learn, but in view of the experience and lessons from the previous few times, Yuan Mutian said every time, "It's too late at night, if you go out and wander around, you will disturb the barracks and be discovered by the enemy." He was pressed on the bed and held in his arms to sleep peacefully all night on the grounds that it would delay the military plane.

Although Yuan Mutian didn't do any strange things, but this is even more strange than him doing strange things, okay?

"That's right. Whatever you want, it's fine if you don't want to learn. I'm full of talents, so I don't have to teach you." Yuan Mutian looked at Nianhua's face, and he didn't threaten or lure, but just said coolly.

"..." With this kind of tone, it's the most annoying!

"I'll learn!" Nianhua finally couldn't help but clenched his fists and responded with the mood of a strong man breaking his wrist.
