The princess is reborn

"Is the military situation wrong?"

There was obvious consternation and surprise in the emperor's voice, and the sound of ceremonies and music in the hall stopped abruptly at this moment. The ministers tried their best to hold their breath, and the hall was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling.

The emperor still felt that he didn't believe it, so he continued to question and ask.

"This savage land is full of fools with brains and no brains. No matter how brilliant his words of thanks are to confuse people's hearts, how can he encourage these fools to use him and cause such a big storm?"

He paused, and his voice suddenly became cold and gloomy, full of intimidation, "Today is the prince's big day, if you and other juniors lie about the military situation, you will be punished, and the nine clans will suffer, you have to think carefully It’s better to answer later.”

It is clear that if you don't believe in Xie Yan, you will rebel. The emperor doesn't believe in Xie Yan. He has rebellious thoughts. What he doesn't believe is that even if Xie Yan harbors evil intentions, he can't do anything in that barren and chaotic place. This is why he relegated Xie Yan to the barbarians. reason.

He just took a fancy to the barren land and the rampant bandits, and even the officials dared not provoke the local heroes, but now Xie Yan not only lost his reputation because of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, but also broke a pair of legs, how could he rebel?

So the emperor didn't believe it, but the messenger who came to report did not retreat half a point because of his deterrence, but insisted on continuing to report.

"Reporting to the emperor, what the subordinates just said was not a lie. The former prince Xie Yan led [-] soldiers and horses to the Wengcheng. They drove all the way from the barbarian Yunhe, and they were like a broken bamboo. Youzhou, Yuanzhou, Shizhou, this The four prefectures have all fallen, the capital of Wengcheng has been besieged for several days, and the people in the city are in danger, I hope the emperor can make a decision as soon as possible and send troops to support."

As soon as the voice fell, there was an uproar in the audience, and civil and military officials from all courts began to discuss loudly, and the scene fell into anxiety for a while.

"The barbarian land has never been a safe place. Bandits and bandits are rampant. No matter how many officials are sent to suppress them, they are not only brought back to life by the former prince Xie Yan, but also lead them to charge into battle. It is truly the greatest miracle in the world .”

"In just half a year, Xie Yan has been able to seize several cities in a row. This guy should not be underestimated. If he doesn't suppress his arrogance sooner, I'm afraid he will become even more arrogant in the future."

"He used to be unparalleled in resourcefulness and invincible in the whole country. I thought that if he broke his legs, he would restrain his sharpness and behave in the barbarian space with his tail between his legs, and he would die in depression."

"But I don't want to, I am imitating Wu Wang Goujian, this is trying my best."

"That's right, this Xie Yan is very wise and close to a monster. He has been very good at games since he was a child. He has read through thousands of volumes. When he was older, he started to play tricks. This time, he can't find a general who can surpass him in terms of resourcefulness. See It can only be suppressed by the number of people, the [-] idle bandit soldiers led by him will not be able to defeat the army under the regular jurisdiction."

"That's true."

"That's the only way to go now."

These uproarious discussions were endless, I curled up my fingers hidden in my sleeves and bit my lower lip tightly, but I only murmured, Yuanzhou, Yuanzhou, since Yuanzhou has fallen, then the Qiu family is still safe ?Qiu Yunqing's father is just a small magistrate, will Xie Yan let them go?I felt flustered for no reason.

"Shut up." The emperor's voice was full of thunderous anger. A moment later, there was a sharp sound of porcelain smashing on the ground, and the noisy discussions around finally came to an end. All the ministers knelt down on the ground. The atmosphere did not dare to release one.

The emperor's slightly tired voice came to my ears, he finally calmed down a lot after breaking the porcelain, and said in a deep tone.

"Alright, save these three prostrations for later. Today's situation is critical, so you don't have to stick to these red tapes. The identity of Princess Su Yun'er has been written into the genealogy. Even without these three prostrations, you can still enjoy the prince The infinite glory of the concubine."

The meaning of these words is that even if Xie Xing and I did not perform three prostrations today, we are already a real husband and wife, and the title and honor of Crown Princess will not be stripped because of the lack of these three prostrations.

The emperor quickly ordered the maid to take me down. I was covered with a hipa all the way and did not remove it. When I returned to the palace, I took off all the cumbersome clothes and washed them carefully. Putting on an elegant and clean cloud shirt, he stood at the door and waited for Xie Xing to come back.

"Young master, do you think something will happen to the master?" Huaixin stood beside me worriedly. He was taller and stronger than me, but at this critical moment of life and death, he actually looked a bit fragile, with the tip of his nose and the circles around his eyes very tight. red.

Huaixin has been favored by Qiu Yunqing since he was a child, and he grew up in Qiu's residence, so how could he not worry about it.Not to mention him, even me, who has only stayed in the Qiu Mansion for a while, is anxious about the Qiu Mansion.But I don't know anything about court affairs, the only thing I can do is to wait here for Xie Xing to come back and ask him for news.

In this way, the two of us waited from the bright sun at noon until the sky was full of stars, and it was late at night when Xie Xing came back in a sedan chair. His face was tired, his originally pale pink complexion was pale, and he looked a little haggard.

"Xie Xing, what's wrong with you? Why does your face look so bad?"

I couldn't bear to see him crumbling as he walked, so I reached out to hold his arm and led him towards the dining room.

The dishes on the table exuded bursts of aroma, which made people move their index fingers, but Xie Xing showed a listless expression. Half of him was lying on the table, with his head resting on his arms, and his eyes were very empty. He was so anxious that he opened his mouth to call Huai Dao, "Huai Xin, go to the imperial medical office and call the imperial doctor. His Royal Highness seems to be sick."

"No need, pretty brother, I'm fine." Xie stared blankly at the candlelight in the distance, and waved his hand at me, "Let Huaixin go out, I have something important to tell you."

After Huaixin went out, Xie Xingcai straightened his waist, and stared at me seriously with his fox eyes, with a serious expression that he had never seen before.

"Beautiful brother, you just married me, and you will be a widow for the rest of your life. I am sorry for you. If I had known that Xie Yan would rebel, I should not have married you, so that you would not be tied to the prince The concubine is now in a position that exists in name only."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" I was so angry that I pinched his face hard after hearing his nonsense, and asked viciously, "What happened to make you have this illusion, you'd better Just tell me immediately, don’t think about what you have and what you don’t have in your heart.”

"You told me before that you like to bury things in your heart when you encounter them, and you have frightened yourself out of your spirits before things happen in the future. Then how are you better than me now?"

Sure enough, the aggressive method is still very useful to Xie Xing.

Hearing this, he immediately lowered his face and said angrily, "I'm not as fragile as my pretty brother, but I'm very strong."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand playfully to fiddle with the jumping flames in the red candle. The warm orange fire light shone on his face, making his delicate face more and more charming. Then he delivered a big news to me.

"Beautiful brother, after you retired today, the emperor ordered me to be named General of Soldiers and Horses, and sent me to lead [-] soldiers and horses to support Wengcheng. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the colonel to order troops, and then set off."

When he said this, his eyes that were originally covered with mist became extremely sharp, as if he had seen through all the tricks, and he grinned.

"This dog emperor knows that I don't know anything about fighting, but still tells me to fight Xie Yan to the death. It is tantamount to asking me to die."

"That's Xie Yan. Only [-] stragglers reformed from bandits took down several cities in half a year. How can I compare with him, let alone me, even the veteran general who has been on the battlefield for decades is not his. adversary."

"He clearly wants me to die. When I die, he will be able to come to the mansion openly to condolence to your widowed daughter-in-law. It's really a beautiful idea." Thinking of this, Xie Xing grinned his teeth in anger, "This dead emperor is really an idiot."

I sighed helplessly, patted his head lightly, and then asked, "Apart from soldiers and horses, has the emperor sent you any wise counselors and brave generals?"

If none of these were sent, letting Xie Xing, who had no combat experience, go to the front line like this would be tantamount to letting him die. Although the emperor is lustful, he should not be so stupid.

"Yes, but let me tell you this. The combined wisdom of these counselors may not be as good as one of Xie Yan's fingers." Xie Xing became more and more frustrated, and explained to me in detail, " Pretty brother, you have known Xie Yan for too short a time, and you don't know much about him, but I have been shrouded in Xie Yan's shadow since I was a child."

"No matter what he does, he is superior to others."

"In the past, the Tai Tuo tested our endorsement. You only need to read the words of thanks once, and you can remember them in your memory, and you can answer them fluently. However, those of us who are not as smart as him can only be beaten by the Tai Tuo."

"We thought he was good at literature, but he shouldn't be very good at martial arts."

"Who knew that in the riding and archery class, this thank you word pierced Yang with a hundred steps, and beat us back steadily."

"He always shows his sharpness like this, which is unexpected. Even if he is disabled now, he can still do such a grand event. Do you think I can not be afraid? I don't want to die."

"And I always thought that if it wasn't for the appearance of my beautiful brother, Xie Yan would never have been brought down by my little tricks, but now that he has done such a thing, it has verified my previous conjecture."

As Xie Xing spoke, his head drooped, his amber eyes also looked bleak, and his whole figure seemed to have completely lost its brilliance.This war is not just playing tricks, and facing such a powerful opponent, it will naturally be a lot of frustration.

I suddenly made up my mind, leaned in front of him, and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "I'll go with you."

"Really?" A flash of joy flashed across Xie Xing's face, and then he said bitterly, "Forget it, it's too dangerous. This sword has no eyes, I don't want my pretty brother to get hurt."

I naturally know the danger here, but I can't disregard the lives of everyone in the Qiu Mansion, I must go on this trip, not only for Xie Xing, but also for the Qiu Mansion's family.

"Xie Yan, he has captured Yuanzhou, and Qiu Yunqing's father is the magistrate of Yuanzhou. I am very worried about the comfort of Qiu's family. Even if it is not to accompany you, I will go and see."

"It is so."

Xie Xing nodded thoughtfully, then ran out of the dining hall suddenly, and after about a while, he ran in with a picture album in his arms. He unfolded the picture album, it was the military map of Jiang Guo's defense, and pointed to it The position marked in red, said puzzledly, "This thank you seems to be very persistent towards Yuanzhou. Obviously, it will be faster for him to bypass Yuanzhou and take the road through Zhongzhou. He insists on knocking down Yuanzhou. Pretty brother, what do you think? ?”

indeed so.

I observed the location and route map on the map. Bypassing Yuanzhou can indeed greatly save the time of attacking the city. Xie Yan is so smart, it is impossible not to think of this layer, unless he did it on purpose.

Thinking of this, I feel chills down my spine, and bursts of chills rush into my heart. I still remember Xie Yan's cold eyes like a poisonous snake, and the bite marks he left on my collarbone have not faded away. Jiuyue has become an indelible scar, and at this moment, bursts of stinging pain can be heard.

"Beautiful brother, I know I can't persuade you. You should think about it tonight. I will wait for you at the front door tomorrow. If you go back on your word, just ask Huai Xin to let me know." Xie Xing said, I didn't even have time for dinner, so I went to the study again.

After he left, the room was silent except for the crackling sound of the red candle burning.

I stared blankly at the red eyes. Originally, tonight would be my bridal night with Xie Xing. No matter whether Xie Xing was intentional or unintentional, he finally helped me out and prevented me from falling into such an embarrassing situation. .

The moonlight outside the window was divided into inclined planes by the window sill, and fell leisurely all over my body. The peach blossom trees outside swayed with the breeze, stretching their tender branches.

This is a tree that I transplanted from Xie Yan's Prince's Mansion, and Mrs. Blue Crucian Planted it herself.This peach blossom tree is very delicate, if he is left alone in the former prince's mansion, it will wither soon.Looking at it, I couldn't help thinking of Xie Yan.

How is he?Will the sachet I sent work?

Maybe the sachet I sent didn't reach him, and he had already risen up and led a group of bandits to rebel.

Ugh.

Hope he sleeps better.

As I wished, I joined Xie Xing's team to crusade against the rebels, and he asked me to pretend to be a counselor and ride in the same sedan chair with him.

Fifty thousand elite soldiers headed for Wengcheng mightily all the way, but as soon as they approached Wengcheng, they could already smell the strong smell of gunpowder. Under his command, and Xie Xing's trip is to take back the lost Wengcheng.

The sky was clear on this day, without a single cloud. Although it was spring, the land in Wengcheng was dry.

Xie Xing rode a tall horse and walked in front, so I had no reason to sit in a sedan chair, but also rode a horse and followed behind him unhurriedly.

The Urn City is in front of you. The flag of the rebels is fluttering on the thick black and dilapidated city tower, and the wolf emblem full of evil spirits is painted on it. There is no loose military discipline as rumored. The rebels guarding the tower are all wearing uniform military uniforms, standing upright. , tall and thick. The strong body looks like a giant mountain standing there, and the fierce eyebrows and eyes are full of fierceness.

"Mouth." Xie Xing stopped his horse in front of the gate tower, and I could only stop along with him. The sentry on the gate tower did not show panic at all when they saw our large number of soldiers and horses coming, but walked vigorously on the ground When I went upstairs, it was obvious that I had reported the letter.

We waited under the sun for about a quarter of an hour before we saw the city gate slowly open, and soldiers in elite armor poured out from the city gate. Han Mang, those fighters consciously split into two factions, their steps were neat and undisturbed, and when they lined up in a long line, there was the sound of rolling wheels.

Everyone took a deep breath and saw a wheelchair driving out of the city gate. The people in the wheelchair could come and go freely without being pushed. He had a handsome face and a pair of rare gray hair. Hitomi.

I've seen those gray pupils smile happily, as if they could melt the ice and snow in winter, but now there is only a sharp killing intent left.

In the past, the man in white clothes looked like a piece of cold jade under the moonlight, but now the black robe is chilling and thin, adding a bit of cruelty and gloom, abandoning compassion and pity, as if he was fighting for his life. The jade-faced Asura who came.

Although he couldn't stand on his legs, the man still sat straight and straight, like a strong pine on a high mountain that is proud of the wind and snow, and like a sharp edge that only pierces the sky, never twisting.

I still remember him staring like a trapped animal in the dungeon, as if he was accusing me of cruelly taking everything from him.But now, while his faint eyes were moving, he only stayed on me for a moment, and then turned away immediately, as if I was some dirty object that I couldn't look directly at.

Thank you that he has let go.

The only one who didn't let go was me.

It's a good thing isn't it?

I hurt him so unreasonably, I don't even have the right to say I like him again, if he let go, that's the best result.

But why am I so sad.

"Brother Prince, I have brought fifty thousand elite soldiers today, and I have surrounded you heavily. If you are wise, you can surrender and I will spare you."

Xie Xing's outrageous words obviously did not scare the other party.

Xie Yan only raised the corners of his lips slightly, and his cold eyes revealed a look of contempt. He lazily stretched out the index finger and ring finger of his right hand, and hooked them forward. He didn't even need to speak, he had already insulted someone Thoroughly, this move is like the master teasing the obedient puppy, implying that Xie Xing crawled to him on his knees.

"Okay, whether it is tolerable or unbearable."

Xie Xing saw all the good words and didn't come to a good result, his cheeks were flushed with anger, he waved his arm up, and shouted loudly, "Kill me, whoever can capture Xie Yan alive will be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels. "

At that moment, thousands of troops and horses were like rushing intertwined rivers, gurgling towards the urn city, trying to break through the city, but soon, the arrows all over the sky were like a huge impenetrable net, covering the sky from all directions. The rebels rushed out with the power of thunder, and with one enemy a hundred, their powerful combat power quickly defeated our army.

What was even more frightening was that rebels appeared in our army, and those soldiers with larger statures swung their butcher knives madly and slashed at their comrades.

"It's not good, it's fraudulent, the whole army retreats, don't love to fight."

Xie Xing's voice was flustered and trembling. At this time, he still didn't forget to protect me and retreat. Yu Chou stood in front of him, Xie Xing protected me, and retreated all the way. I raised my eyes in panic and saw Xie Xing. Yan's figure appeared on the city tower, his expression was cold and indifferent, he looked down at me as if he was observing the migration of humble ants, that kind of strange and utterly cold eyes made my heart hurt so hard that I couldn't contain it, I was desperate Holding back his chest, he looked back, only to find that there was no trace of Xie Yan on the tower.

He doesn't care anymore.

We were defeated in this battle, we retreated all the way to the outskirts, Xie Xing seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and could no longer find a glimmer of hope, I persuaded him for a long time, and finally coaxed him back to himself tent for rest.

The moon and stars are scarce, and the weather is excellent tonight. The sparks jumping on the bonfire are like countless brilliant fireflies, and the breeze blows thin clouds. I was stung by mosquitoes in the middle of the night before I fell into a deep sleep. Some soldiers shouted loudly, "No, there are still remnants of the rebels who have not been cleaned up."

I struggled to get out of the tent to have a look, but my mouth and nose were covered with a scented towel, and I completely lost consciousness.
