The Prequel of Baolian Lantern Konghouyin

Qin Xiang Fanju's mansion is north of the Wei River, west of the Lanchi Palace, and there are many guests looking at each other day and night.Ao Tingxin bypassed the entrance steps and descended a dozen carriages and horses, and walked straight to the corner gate. When the doorman saw the bronze waist plate of "Pedestrian Administration", he immediately led Tingxin in without saying a word, but he didn't go to the main hall, he just waited in the back. hall waiting.

It was already midnight at this time, Yinghou's mansion was still brightly lit and crowded with people, but within a stick of incense, there was a sound of thanking and thanking from the partition wall, and it seemed that three or five people were retreating in chaotic steps. Only one person, E Guanbo, came in with a curtain. It was the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, the most trusted Yinghou Fanju in front of King Qin Zhaoxiang.

The fourth princess was about to go forward to salute, when Fan Ju raised his hand to stop her, looked him up and down and said, "How is the matter going?"

Ting Xin still raised her hands and said with a smile, "Didn't Wang Ji report to Lord Hou?"

"Of course I have been rewarded," Fan Ju replied expressionlessly. When he came in, he had already seen the long scroll behind Ting Xin. Seeing that she was about to leave after a disagreement, he asked in a slow tone. , "He reported that Zhao Kuo, Ma Fuzi, had set off for Changping. You have done a good job in this matter. It is worthwhile that I personally ordered you to be transferred from Lantian Daying."

"Then, can Lord Hou let me go back to the camp?" Ting Xin still had a smile on her face, but her tone was unquestionably firm.

"Lieutenant Ao," Fan Ju sat down, with the corners of his lips curled up, showing a hint of a smile, "I have declared to the Great King that you will be appointed as a young envoy to lead all the female officials in the Dazheng Palace to serve the Empress Dowager."

The fourth princess's face froze, and then she slowed down: "Master Hou, have you asked Lord Wu An about this?"

"Presumptuous!" Fan Ju slapped the table, almost stood up, thought for a while, and then sat down in the chair again, "You are now a member of the pedestrian department, and you are not subject to Bai Qi's restraint. I have written about this matter, Wang Ji, he have the right to dispose of it.”

"Master Hou, forgive me for being rude." Ting Xin also smiled, "When you seconded me from Lantian Daying, you said something beforehand. I went to Handan as an undercover agent at Mr. Pingyuan's office, and cooperated with Dr. Wang and encouraged Mr. Pingyuan Persuade the king of Zhao to change generals, and he will return to his original position once things are done."

"You are a woman, and you should be severely punished if you pretend to be in the army. For the sake of your merits, I told the king not to punish you, but to entrust you with a heavy responsibility. Now the king rewards you regardless of the previous suspicions. Are you not satisfied? "

Ting Xin smiled instead of anger: "Master Hou is ridiculous. Since my Great Qin ruled the country with military laws, the people should stand up for themselves with military merits. Although I am a woman, I also know that I will serve the country loyally, and I will not be in vain to eat the king's salary. Now Changping The battle is imminent, I have all my martial arts skills and I can't go to battle to kill the enemy. Could it be that the Marquis cast my pearls secretly?" Her bright eyes flickered, as if there were shining candles flickering inside, "Even the queen mother is also a woman who does not give up to others. Zhong Haojie, if he knows about such a thing, he will feel sorry for me. I heard that Ranghou died of illness in Taoyi last month, and the queen mother was unhappy all day long. Although Lord Hou recommended me with good intentions, I am afraid that I will be rough. Thick feet, if you annoy the queen mother at this moment, then..."

As soon as Fan Ju heard the word "Ranghou", fine sweat broke out on his forehead——Ranghou Wei Ran is the half-brother of the Queen Mother and the mother-in-law of the King of Qin. It was through Fan Ju's hand that he was pulled down from the position and demoted to the fiefdom, but he died of depression within two years.Although the Empress Dowager didn't say anything publicly, she couldn't help but hate her in her heart.Fan Juyuan said that Tingxin had been in Handan for three years, and his heart must be extremely exhausted, but he didn't want her to go back to serve in the army if she was not moved by the award.If Ting Xin was forced to go to the Dazheng Palace, maybe she would instigate something in front of the Queen Mother, and the King of Qin is a filial person, so he would be harmed by it.

Fan Ju made up his mind, and then changed his smile and said: "What the captain said is that the Marquis is only worried about you being away for a long time, and I am afraid that you will be too tired. Since you have this kind of loyalty to the emperor, I will fulfill you. Come on "He clapped his hands and called his servants, and said with a smile, "Take Captain Ao down to eat, and then rest in the mansion, see the king tomorrow..."

"Don't dare to bother Master Hou!" Ting Xin said with a smile, cupping her fists, "I still have important matters to attend to, so I have to report back to the camp quickly. Since Master Hou is fine, I will leave first."

Ting Xin galloped all the way, and it was nearly dawn when he arrived at Lantian Camp.At this moment, there is no one in the four fields, everything is silent, and even the grass insects chirping at night are already asleep, it is the darkest time before dawn.The fourth princess went to the main tent of the Chinese army after checking her waist badge when she arrived at the gate.There was a person in that tent, about forty years old, not tall, with a black and red face, his appearance was not unusual, but his thick eyebrows were raised upward like eagle wings, his resolute lips were tightly drawn, and he was concentrating on it Staring at the sand table in front of him, he frowned and thought about something.

Hearing someone coming in, that person turned around, and saw Ting Xinqiao standing at the door, he couldn't help being overjoyed, leaned forward, as if about to rush over, but stopped his feet, clenched one hand on the corner of the sand table, and said in a low voice. The voice seemed to be rolling in the throat: "You are back."

Longnu's nostrils were sore, tears almost rolled down her eyes, her lips trembled a few times before she calmed down, and forced a smile, "Yes, I'm back."

The two were silent for a while, and then the man said: "It's good to be back." After he said this, he paused again and said, "I heard from the prime minister..."

"Don't mention this for now," Ting Xin walked into the tent with a smile, put the long scroll on her back on the desk, turned around and said, "Do you see what I brought back?" One end said, and the other end opened the package, revealing the bamboo mat inside .

The man was not surprised when he saw this thing, bent down and pulled out the dagger from his combat boots, looked at the bamboo mat for a moment, then used the dagger to gently pull it away from the seam at the edge, and then pulled it hard, a pair of The huge silk scroll map was immediately displayed in front of the two of them.

"Handan City Defense Map!"

The man's eyes shone with surprise, he dropped the dagger, grabbed Ting Xin's hand and said, "It's really not easy for you to get out of the body, and it's really amazing to be able to take this confidential object out of the country of Zhao... ..." He couldn't find the right words for a while, he looked at the map and Tingxin, his dark face seemed to be a little brighter because of this unexpected joy.

A rare shyness flashed across Ting Xin's face, she gently withdrew her hand, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Dignified Mr. Wu An, what map has never been seen before, and it is worth being so happy?"

Bai Qi shook his head, stroked the map with both hands and said: "Once Lian Po is gone, Zhao Kuo will not be able to hold on to the barrier, so Changping will be in my hands. Once Changping is broken, Handan will be in front of me. If I get this map at this time, isn't it God helping me?" Great Qin destroys Zhao?" He straightened up and walked to the sand table, pointing out one by one, "The spies reported that the Changping defenders had dispersed the camp and assembled into a battalion. Ladders, cloud carts, firearms, bows and crossbows, etc., each battalion dispatched soldiers and horses from Ming to night all night, and even the shogunate flag has been moved to General Ridge, and there will be an attack soon."

Ting anxiously said: "Then why don't we hurry to Changping?"

"I have ordered that I will take the Rui Shi Battalion to set off tonight as soon as it gets dark."

"Okay!" Ting Xin rubbed her hands and smiled, "I'll go back to the tent to clean up, I haven't touched the sword for a long time, I really want to..."

Bai Qi was not as excited as she was, he seemed to have remembered something, and asked suddenly: "How did you escape from Mr. Pingyuan without making them suspicious?"

Tingxin smiled complacently: "Ping Yuanjun's wife is from the state of Wei, and she had an affair with the doctor Tang Ju in her boudoir. That Tang Ju is a lustful and hungry ghost. When he was sent to Zhao State, he had a private meeting with his wife in Handan. I just did it a little bit. This small plan made him reveal his true colors, Madam wished to drive me out!"

"Then you have..." Bai Qi paused, not knowing how to continue asking.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Ting Xin gave a "puchi" smile, "I, Ke Ke, was 'caught' by my wife, and that idiot didn't even touch my hand!"

"Lieutenant Ao," Bai Qi lowered his eyes, pondered over his words, and said slowly, "You are so clever, you can indeed be of great use. The prime minister sent me a message the day before yesterday, and wants to transfer you to Dazheng Palace."

Hearing this, she curled her lips and replied reluctantly: "I have already rejected him."

Bai Qi sighed, brushed his fingers over the edge of the wooden figure, and said softly: "But I have already promised him."
