Shen Jinlan looked at the sword across his neck. His originally clean clothes were stained with dust. His blue eyes under the sun were full of shock and suspicion.
He had also heard of Yuan Suifeng's reputation and knew that he was still the top martial artist in Daxia. But Shen Jinlan thought that this was just someone else who deliberately gave it to Yuan Suifeng for the sake of the Yuan family. Yuan Suijun and For a brother and sister-in-law like Su Yueling who is deeply favored by the Holy Spirit, Yuan Suifeng will be praised as a flower even if he is a rotten tree. He originally thought that if Yuan Suifeng wanted to compete with him, should he let him win? Even if you are happy, you should still defeat the opponent and show off your abilities.
When he decided to pretend to be just one step ahead of him, he was directly beaten by Yuan Suifeng and made him doubt his life.
Didn't it mean that Yuan Suifeng only practiced martial arts for about seven years? He was a genius with excellent bones personally selected by the prince, and he had been practicing martial arts since he was six years old. He lost, he actually lost to Yuan Suifeng.
Yuan Suifeng said: "One more game?"
He knew in his heart that Shen Jinlan was a spy of the Qiang country, and he was also the most shameless one who deliberately seduced and deceived girls. His target was still Baoshu! His only sister!
The sword placed on his neck was withdrawn, and the arrogance in Shen Jinlan's chest burst out again, "Okay."
This time, he couldn't be as careless as before, he had to show his true level.
Then……
Shen Jinlan was blown away again.
Time and time again, none of them were successful. The beating made him doubt his life, and he felt goosebumps rising on his skin.
Is this the Wu Zhuangyuan of Daxia and the direct disciple of Lord Wei?
Yuan Suifeng was in a good mood during the fight. During the fight just now, he had no intention of beating Shen Jinlan to avenge him. Of course, he avoided his face when he hit him and aimed at the flesh on his body.
But waiting for tomorrow, Shen Jinlan will probably feel sore all over.
After several battles, Shen Jinlan's robe was a little messy. It was obviously January, but he was already sweating all over, and the sweat wet his hair into strands. It could be said that he was in a rare embarrassment.
Yuan Suifeng said casually: "Just so-so, better than those dudes."
Being told this, Shen Jinlan couldn't refute, because he lost and didn't even have a chance to win. Yuan Suifeng was indeed qualified to look down on him.
Yuan Suifeng continued: "It's barely a malleable talent. It's just that my sister is not a good match for any cat or dog. Even if the husband we find for her is not as good as my eldest brother and me, the gap cannot be too big. You have to make a decision no matter what. Can you come back with some military merit?"
Shen Jinlan's heart skipped a beat, and because of the excitement, his hands trembled unconsciously - it couldn't be what he thought, right?
Yuan Suifeng said: "Next month I will lead my team to the military camp. Do you have the guts to come with me?"
They received news that the Qiang tribe planned to launch a surprise attack in February.
Yuan Suifeng needed Shen Jinlan to be his internal correspondent and send some news to mislead the Qiang country.
Shen Jinlan said without hesitation: "I do."
He even thought about whether he could ask the prince to arrange some abandoned sons to add military merit to him. The Qiang army was not the prince's alone. Other forces were not used to the prince holding power and always wanted to pull him down from that position.
Yuan Suifeng showed a slightly satisfied expression, "Before setting off for the expedition, you stayed with me and trained with me. It's not appropriate for you to always follow Baoshu."
"Even if a man and a woman are engaged, they can't stay together all day, let alone the two of you who don't even know each other yet."
He could keep Shen Jinlan by his side in the name of training to prevent Baoshu from showing his hands and feet.
If it had been before, Shen Jinlan would have been ecstatic to be able to lurk next to Yuan Suifeng. But when she thought of leaving Yuan Baoshu, Shen Jinlan, who was used to escorting her out, suddenly felt slightly unaccustomed.
etc?
Could it be that because he got along with Yuan Baoshu day and night, he became soft-hearted towards her?
If he is like this, can he still be worthy of the princess?
Yuan Baoshu's delicate face gradually faded away, replaced by the princess's charming, simple and delicate face, and her originally shaken heart became firm again.
When there was darkness in his life, the princess was like sunshine, illuminating his life. For the princess, no matter what he did, it was worth it. He should not be soft-hearted towards the Daxia woman. In that case, he would have trouble in the future. How can I face the princess?
…
In this way, Shen Jinlan was transferred away from Yuan Baoshu and followed Sui Feng.
Yuan Baoshu was very happy. Shen Jinlan was no longer with her, and she had retired with success.
In February, Yuan Suifeng actually brought Shen Jinlan to the border, and news spread to the capital one after another.
It can be said that Shen Jinlan and Prince Jian behind him were very desperate and spent a lot of money to win over the Xinyuan family.
Shen Jinlan, who had just arrived, led a squad of 100 people and discovered the Qiang people's grain and grass. Not only did they burn the grain and grass, they also defeated more with less and captured two hundred Qiang soldiers.
Half a month later, he led his troops to kill more than 500 Qiang soldiers.
At the end of February, he even captured a thousand Qiang troops and killed the leader himself.
Shen Jinlan's official position was promoted from the seventh rank at the beginning to the sixth rank, Qianzong.
But his military exploits were truly there, and everyone just took his speed of promotion for granted.
Many nobles in the capital lamented that Shen Jinlan was indeed a malleable talent. Although these military achievements were supported by the Yuan family, Shen Jinlan defeated the strong with the weak in every battle and led by example. He was a man who could use his brains. Warrior.
The news Su Yueling received was more detailed.
The Qiang army has many forces, roughly divided into four different camps. Among them, the most powerful one is naturally Prince Jian, who is in the heart of the emperor. Several other forces have joined forces to form a faint counterweight to Prince Jian. Prince Jian directly sold The heads of the opposing soldiers gave Shen Jinlan credit.
Su Yueling felt that Prince Jian's plan was quite good. On the one hand, he could support Shen Jinlan and win their trust. On the other hand, he could use this opportunity to eliminate dissidents.
She told Baoshu the news, "At this rate, I'm afraid he can continue to climb up within three months."
Yuan Baoshu smiled and said: "Our family can ask the Holy Spirit to grant us a marriage."
Su Yueling nodded, and arrangements for Shen Jinlan's death would be made within half a year.
Su Yueling said: "If you regret it now, we can change our ways."
Yuan Baoshu shook her head, "I have been looking forward to this day for a long time."
On the first day of the third month, Yuan Suijun entered the palace, and the emperor's decree on marriage came down that day.
The emperor canonized Shen Jinlan as a fifth-grade martial virtue general and granted him marriage to the Lord of Chongyang County.
