The reborn prince is hard to raise

The autumn of the 22nd year of Jianzhang is destined to leave a strong mark in the history of Dayong. The autumn and winter seasons of this year are more chilling than previous years.Sergeants in armor kept rushing out of the Yunzhou General's Mansion, and not long after, there was the sound of horseshoes like wind and thunder from a distant street.Those voices that made people feel heavy, seemed to indicate that the flames of war were spreading like a prairie fire.

When Crane Weng was surrounded by ten black-armored soldiers and stepped into the gate of the General's Mansion, his breath was still a little unsteady.He glared at the nearest soldier with displeasure, "The old man's frame is almost falling apart, you young and strong guys can't be considerate of the old man?" It's normal.

The black-armored soldier bowed his head silently as usual, leaving only the cold and dull black iron helmet facing the crane man, and said in a low voice respectfully, "Mister, Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time." After speaking, he tightened his eyes He closed his mouth, no trace of a gap was exposed, it was obvious that he didn't want to speak anymore.

He Weng's eyes widened, his lips trembled, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he just waved his sleeves vigorously, turned around and walked towards the study, saying to himself, "I really don't know why that kid Gu Jiu married With such a boring gourd, the soldiers trained by the boring gourd are all a group of boring gourds! These days are too boring—”

Several black-armored soldiers paused when they heard the words, and then followed with a straight face.

The study room of the General's Mansion was as brightly lit as in the past. As soon as Fang stepped in, a map of the territory with extremely clear details came into view.He Weng paused, looked at it seriously with his hands behind his back, and finally had to praise, "Not bad, I have never seen a more detailed strategic map than this, you still have something to offer! "

While talking, he took two big steps and directly took a cup of tea and drank it, and said vaguely, "Oh, it's really hard work, my old man..."

Mu Hanyi looked at the dusty old man with interest, but he didn't see the so-called immortal character anyway, so he asked Lu Chengning who was sitting behind the desk with some doubts, "Your Highness, this is..."

Lu Chengning looked down at the map laid out on the table, but did not answer the words.The bright glazed lamp fell not far from him, and the firelight set off his side face like jade, with the coolness of autumn.It's just that there is an obvious warm color in the eyes, and I don't know what I remembered, even the curvature of the corners of the lips softened a lot.

Crane Weng had enough rest, ignored the other people in the room, walked directly in front of Lu Chengning, slowly took out a stack of papers, "Here, these things are already on the way, the old man first sent the blueprints to Take a look, Your Highness." Speaking of this pride, his somewhat slack face also became more radiant.

Lu Chengning nodded, and then took it with both hands, flipping through the pages one by one, rubbing the thin paper with his slender fingers, with a serious expression on his face.When the rustling of the paper faded away, Lu Chengning stood up with his sleeves hanging down, raised his hands in a salute, and said, "Thank you sir for being a frontier soldier and the people of Dayong alone." Falling on the table, layered like water ripples.

Crane Weng did not evade, and accepted the gift from the crown prince very calmly, stroked his beard, and said in a somewhat emotional tone, "Back then you and Gu Jiu found the old man, and the ore produced in that mine is naturally a good product. For several years, the old man co-authored some old craftsmen who were spinning around the stove every day, and several books were turned over, but at least they finally made these things.

The old man also knows that these things can at most save the lives of a few soldiers on the battlefield. If they say anything about changing the outcome of the battle, it must be impossible. "

Mu Hanyi on the one side and the rest of the people had already flipped through the blueprints while they were talking. They had been stationed in the Six States of Yanyun for many years, and they had been with the Golden Spear since they were young. Naturally, they could tell at a glance The value of this drawing.In addition, when the old man said that the finished product was already on the way, he couldn't help feeling a surge of excitement in his heart, and even the hand holding the blueprint trembled.

Although as He Weng said, these siege and defense equipment cannot turn the tide of the battle, but when two armies are fighting, what they need is timing.

He Weng saw that the young men were chattering about something, and after a while, he turned to the frontier map to point and point, so he stopped talking and sat down on the empty chair, closing his eyes and resting his mind.But I still couldn't calm down in my heart, I just felt that I hadn't caught my breath yet.

At first, I thought that Lu Chengning was inexperienced, and he might not be able to do much in battle, but I didn't expect that he knew people and used them well, and he was unambiguous about the people who should be used, and everyone was a leader.Coupled with the fact that the Mu family has been operating in Yanyun for so many years, the Dayong border is really like an iron bucket.

As a monarch, he may not have great talent in governing the country, but this skill and courage are hard to match today.

Besides, there is also Gu Mingheng, the Crown Princess who is in charge of the capital.In the past year since the war started, the frontier has sufficient food and grass, and the supply has been continuous. If he hadn't worked hard in the previous court, how could there be such a situation?

Thinking of this, He Weng's beard trembled slightly, but he immediately realized that he was resting, and quickly put away his smile.

Lu Chengning let Mu Hanyi and Gu Zhengge discuss there. They are all young generals, and they haven't tempered the calmness of veterans yet.But he himself stared at the candlelight in a daze as if he was alone in a quiet room.

Gu Zhengge was Ah Zheng who followed Gu Mingheng back then, so he was very familiar with Lu Chengning.Seeing his appearance, he nudged Mu Hanyi beside him with his elbow, gave him a wink, and walked two steps towards the door of the study.The rest of the people also reacted from the excitement, silenced the sound and exited the door one by one.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, He Weng slowly opened his eyes, and saw that Lu Chengning's eyes seemed to melt into the night, they looked cool and silent, even the dancing candles couldn't light anything in his pupils.

"The guards who were sent to this old man earlier have also been brought back this time. According to Gu Jiu's intention, each of them was equipped with armor and weapons." Seeing that Lu Chengning's eyes widened when he heard the word "Gu Jiu", After a slight light, He Weng paused and continued, "If you want me to say, only you two prodigals would come up with such an idea. Those suits of armor are all silver!" The fine lines and folds on the chest are deeper, as if in pain.

Lu Chengning didn't answer, but changed the topic, "Sir, do you know how to really uproot Xidi?" He was dressed in a prince's crown, and the cloud pattern was like flowing water under the lamp.After nearly a year on the front line, Lu Chengning seemed to have acquired a trace of gold and blood, and his temperament was quite different from when he was in the capital.He is like a big tree, growing extremely fast in the wind and rain, and the branches can gradually cover the people and things he wants to protect.

"This Xidi has been troubled for a long time. No matter how many emperors and soldiers have tried to get rid of them, they have not succeeded." He Weng didn't say anything specific, but just stared at the prince behind the desk, his cloudy eyes were piercing. .

"Even the sparrows are no longer afraid of the goshawks that have left the sky, and the domestic dogs used to shed the blood of wild wolves." Lu Chengning looked at the old man not far away, with a normal tone and a calm expression, "If you want anything, you can do it." It is really cutting grass and roots, erasing their bloody self-inheritance."

Crane Weng lightly shook his hand in his sleeve, and suddenly understood the ultimate role of the five thousand black armored knights.

East Palace.

Among the water pavilions, the wind blowing from the lake carried the unknown fragrance of flowers, silently blowing across the curtains on all sides.Xie Yunhong was playing with a ruby ​​folding fan in one hand, which made his skin as white as snow.

He stared at the black and white pieces on the chessboard with a rare look of impatience in his eyes, and said without raising his head, "Wood, can you keep your voice down? Are you afraid that your fingers will be broken?"

As soon as the words fell, the tapping sound of fingertips in the water pavilion stopped, and Mu Hanjiang, who was dressed in a military uniform, approached the chessboard a little aggrieved, and looked at Xie Yunhong eagerly, "I'm not thinking of Your Highness and them..."

Xie Yunhong glanced at him indifferently, "I think you want to fight and go crazy!" Mu Hanjiang didn't refute, but just reached out and scratched his hair.

At this time, his father and brother were both leading the three armies on the front line, and he was the proton placed in front of the king, reassuring those on the throne.So no matter how much he wanted to go back to Yanyun with a knife and a horse, he could only suppress the emotions in his heart and stay in the East Palace every day to wait for the battle report.

He understood, so he clenched his fists and didn't rush to the court to ask for his orders.

Gu Mingheng dropped the white piece on the chessboard, and his soft voice rang in the ears of the three, "Your Majesty is not feeling well these days." There was no hesitation or speculation in the tone, but affirmation.As soon as the words came out, Xie Yunhong and Mu Hanjiang looked up at him almost at the same time.

Ever since Lu Chengning went to Yanyun, it has been Gu Mingheng who has presided over the affairs of the East Palace in the name of the Crown Princess.At this time, it is true to say that the emperor has contracted a disease, and it is certain that the disease is not just a mild ailment.

But the prince of a country is not in the capital.

"Do you need to tell His Highness?" After a moment of silence, Xie Yunhong asked.

"It's not necessary yet." Gu Mingheng shook his head, "Things on the front line are already complicated, and His Majesty's side is not harmful to the overall situation." However, Wang An seemed to be impatient.As the battle reports from the front line came out again and again, the prestige of the Crown Prince Cheng Ning was constantly rising, both among the people and in the court. If the Crown Prince came back victorious, it would really be in vain for King An to endure it for so long up.

The two people on the side saw that Gu Mingheng, who was dressed in pine blue and dark clothes, was thinking about things on his own again, and did not make a sound to disturb him.The affairs of the East Palace often require him to make the final decision, not to mention other things, these are enough to make people tired.If it was an ordinary person, I am afraid that I would not be able to persist.

Mu Hanjiang saw that Xie Yunhong also had a look of worry on his face, thought for a while, and stretched out his hand to hold Xie Yunhong's cool palm.Xie Yunhong was stunned for a moment, but did not break free.

When the wind blows on the lake, the leaves fall to know autumn.
