Ascension

Chapter 32

On October 48th, Dou Shabao, deputy general of the Jianghuai Army, led his troops to ambush the cavalry at the western foot of the Qinling Mountains, and wiped out [-] enemy soldiers with [-] infantry without any prisoners.

On October [-]th, Ye Wentian, the prefect of Sunset City, led [-] Jiangbei soldiers who were supposed to have just set off from Sunset City to raid Lingnan City, which was occupied by Xilu.

On October [-]th, Ye Wentian led an army pretending to be the remnants of Lingnan City to open the gate of Luannan City, and joined forces with Lin Maili Yingwai, the deputy general of the Jiangbei Army outside the city, to take back Luannan City in one fell swoop.

On October [-]th, Su Caibao, a lieutenant of the Jianghuai Military Academy, led dozens of warriors to sneak into the Wagu camp in the west foothills, and set fire to the food and grass of the [-] troops for half a month.On the same day, the [-] gangsters in Langtou Mountain were formally recruited and incorporated into the Jianghuai Army.

On November [-]rd, Hanbatu, a general from the western foothills, rushed to the aid of Wagu. After holding Hedu City for five days, Hanbatu was surprised to hear that Qianlong City, which he was guarding, had been surrounded by [-] Jianghuai troops and was in danger.Regardless of Wagu's dissuasion, he led his troops to Qianlong City. On the way, he was ambushed and attacked by the Huainan Army more than ten times. Before Qianlong was reached, the soldiers dispersed.

On November [-]th, Wagu saw that Hedu City could not be attacked for a long time, and all the people in the city could be soldiers. After more than ten days of defending the city, the number of Jianghuai troops did not decrease, so he had no choice but to retreat and join Gute's army.

The Xilu army occupied a total of six cities, and in just half a month, they have taken back four of them.

Only inside and outside Yunyan City, the Huainan Army and the Gute Army were at loggerheads.The chief general Liu Huan reported to the court that the secrets of the Huainan army were obtained by Xilu several times. According to the confession of the captured Xilu tribe leader, the spy was not a member of the Huainan army, but a nobleman from the capital.

Although most of the court thought that this was the evasive eye of the Huainan army who had been fighting for a long time, the emperor still ordered Wen Wen to investigate the matter.

Unexpectedly, the traitor was actually found out - all kinds of evidence prove that Princess Yanqing stole secrets through Wen Liang's old ministry in Huainan, and passed them on to Sudan Qing, who had been bribed by Xilu long ago.

It was too late when Zhu Yi'an got the news. When he arrived at Princess Yanqing's mansion, he only saw the back of the slender Princess Yanqing being escorted into a sedan chair by two thick servants.

The leader of the team was Xu Jiu, a trusted eunuch next to Yan Ye.

Without even thinking about it, Zhu Yi'an rushed over and tugged at Xu Jiu's sleeve: "Eunuch Xu, it's impossible for Xun'er to do such a thing, she must have been wronged!"

Although Xu Jiu is not the head of the inner court, he is also a slave who ranks next to Yan Ye. He glanced at this rich and idle person out of the corner of his eye, and said in a neutral way: "Mr. Moreover, the case was decided by His Majesty, how can the princess be wronged."

"But..." Zhu Yi'an was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, his hands and feet moved wildly, seeing that the bearer had already picked up the sedan chair and was about to leave, but in a hurry, "Ke" didn't make a follow-up, Jun's face turned pale with anxiety.

It was Xu Jiu who reminded him: "If you have grievances, go talk to Commander Wen, don't stand in the way here."

Zhu Yi'an's mother, Princess Seondeok, is regarded as the aunt of the current emperor in terms of seniority. Xu Jiu didn't take Zhu Yian seriously, and wanted to give Princess Seondeok a face.

Zhu Yi'an finally found a direction, and he bent down and bowed to Xu Jiu. If it wasn't for the people coming and going on the street, he would have knelt down to Xu Jiu: "Eunuch Xu, I'm going to find Wen Wen, find...Princess Yanqing anyway." She is also a princess of a country, and I beg you to take care of one or two, I will tell my mother that the benefits are indispensable to you."

How could Xu Jiu dare to accept his gift, so she hurried to the side to avoid Zhu Yi'an, who was about to worship again, and said: "Little ancestor, you can spare this servant, this person has a lot of eyes, and it has been heard in the emperor's ears. I don’t need this slave’s head anymore.”

Zhu Yi'an was taken aback for a moment, but also realized that this was inappropriate, so he straightened up and said, "I beg you to take care of Princess Yanqing in the palace."

The emperor only asked people to bring Princess Yanqing into the palace. Since he didn't give wine directly, there is still room for it.Princess Yanqing, as the second daughter of the abolished emperor, was also a signboard for the emperor to treat the abolished emperor's descendants kindly.The Huainan army has always been a thorn in the emperor's heart, and the outcome of this case is uncertain.

Before Xu Jiu came, he had already made plans, so he immediately agreed to Zhu Yi'an's request, and said: "Young Master Zhu, it's going to be winter, we heard that there is a snow-white fox fur cloak in your residence..."

"Here, here, as long as you take good care of Princess Yanqing, I will give you everything you want." Zhu Yi'an said hastily.He was not an intelligent person at all, but he grew up under the protection of his parents, and even developed the habit of relying on others.

The fox fur cloak was originally a birthday gift received by Zhu Yi'an's deceased father. When he was buried, he was not willing to give it to him, so he specially asked to keep it for future generations in case of emergency.In the capital, only this kind of rare treasure can be rushed.

Hearing what he said, Xu Jiu pursed her lips and laughed, her face covered with makeup was neither yin nor yang, which made Zhu Yi'an shudder quietly.

He stood on the spot and watched Xu Jiu lead the people away, and then hunched over and walked towards Wen Wen's mansion.

When Xu Jiu mentioned it just now, he was in a hurry, and without even thinking about it, he wanted to go to Wen Wen's house to avenge his grievances.But when the real thing came to an end, the fear in his heart surged up again and again, making him unable to lift his feet.

If it is true that Princess Yanqing is innocent and innocent, she has at least one nominal consort who leads the army outside, even the emperor would not dare to offend Wen Liang at this juncture.

But if Wen Liang finds out that there is an extra child in Princess Yanqing's belly, Wen Liang may be the first one to kill. Not only Princess Yanqing will not survive, but even him will die.

He was in a trance, not daring to go to Wen's mansion, not daring to go home, so he walked forward on two feet, and when it was dark, he looked up, only to realize that he had almost reached the city gate unknowingly.

He chuckled a few times in self-deprecating manner, he was dry, obviously timid and afraid of getting into trouble, but also pretended to be free and easy, even he looked down on himself.In this world, only Xun'er can think highly of him.

His Xing'er, whenever her gaze falls on him, the whole world does not exist in an instant, only her, timidly looking at him who is not tall like a deer, like looking at a high-ranking monarch, a god who is overturning clouds and rain Buddha, timid and reverent.

Zhu Yi'an has always been ordinary, he didn't dare to tell Xun'er that he just happened to meet Princess Xiang'an in the hunting ground the day they first met, and Princess Xiang'an shot the hungry wolf to death with an arrow to save her, and he didn't want to accept that the woman couldn't bear it In the name of his bravery, he gave the credit to himself, and with the gratitude of the beauty, it became the only bright spot in his life.

Looking at the tall and majestic city gate, Zhu Yi'an knew that there should be two sun-engraved stone characters on the front of the city gate, brushed with gold powder, which is most dazzling at sunrise and sunset, and every stroke of the silver hook and iron painting is countless clothes and shoes. Merry, prosperous and prosperous.

Even if a large piece of land in the distance is being raped by Xilu people, the capital is still prosperous, because there is an emperor who is diligent in government affairs, there is a scheming Taifu, there is a talented Princess Xiang'an, and...the invincible gentleness.

Xun'er married a rare heroic general in the world, and fell in love with the princess who can walk through Yang in the hunting ground, but gave her body to herself who despicably steals other people's glory and is incapable of writing or martial arts.

Whenever there was a battle report from the border, Zhu Yi'an's heart would be lifted, and every time the Jianghuai Army won another victory, his heart would fall, making a dull sound on the ground that no one could hear.

Because he doesn't even have the right to speak out.

As the eldest princess' son, he can't even get an official position. It sounds like he doesn't care for fame and wealth, but in fact, everyone knows that the eldest princess thinks this son is too worthless and doesn't want him to be ashamed outside.

Zhu Yi'an was extremely grateful to Xun'er. When others looked down on him, it was this docile woman who gave him the dignity that a man should have.Thinking of this, he felt that he had to repay his kindness. Anyway, he was only living in this world, and he should use this life to repay Xun'er's kindness.

The brave thought made him stand upright and walk quickly to Wen Wen's house.He was afraid that this courage would disappear after a while, and the steps under his feet were fast and chaotic, just like his weak heart.

At the entrance of Zhuque Street, the raised eaves of the Wen Mansion could be seen from a distance. Zhu Yi'an was really scared, and his footsteps became slower and slower, and finally stopped in Baiwa Lane adjacent to Zhuque Street.

Just as he was hesitating, he saw a beautiful woman in cloth clothes standing in front of him.Almond eyes, peach cheeks, no makeup is also a stunning posture, and the dignified standing posture has a bit of palace demeanor.

Zhu Yi'an has seen her, the female officer in charge of Princess Xiang'an!

Sensing Zhu Yi'an's panic, the woman's charming eyes brought a smile, and her gentle tone strangely comforted Zhu Yi'an's restlessness, and said: "Mr. A helpless weak woman."

She nodded and lowered her eyebrows with the dignified and quiet beauty of a female official, but her slender figure under the common clothes was no longer unattainable in the palace, and she was as weak as an ordinary woman.

Zhu Yi'an took a step back and said vigilantly, "Why are you here? What can you do with me?"

Qin'er pointed at the house five steps away and said, "I'm currently staying at the house of the leader Bai Caibai."

Bai Cai?That's the deputy commander of Ouchi's bodyguards, Wen Wen's diehard.

Before Zhu Yi'an could figure out why Princess Xiang'an's confidant lived in Bai Cai's mansion, Qin'er said, "Hero Bai is right there, if Mr. Zhu has something to ask Commander Wen and it's hard to speak, you might as well talk to Commander Bai. He is very nice, if he can help, he will definitely not refuse."

Zhu Yi'an followed the direction Qin'er pointed, and he saw a white beard covering most of his face standing in front of the most famous weapons shop in the capital, and he was holding a brand new simple knife in his hand. Looking around.

Qin'er saw that he was moved, so she went to Bai Cai first: "My lord, please follow me."

Zhu Yi'an was worried about the pregnant Princess Yanqing, so he stomped his feet and decided to tell the truth at the risk of being beheaded.

After all, Princess Yanqing is of royal blood, and has always been regarded as a model for the new emperor to treat the deposed emperor's children kindly. Wen Liang has never regarded her as his wife. If she can get the help of Bai Cai, who is highly valued by Wen Wen, she might be able to escape her life.
