Xie Yan looked at Cao Mian calmly, nodded slightly after a while and said: "Marquis Wen Ding, you are well."
Cao Mian smiled and said, "This is not appropriate for the prince to tell me. How can the prisoners below him be safe?"
Xie Yan raised his hand to signal Duoying to step back, walked to the side and sat down and asked, "Why?"
"Why?" Cao Mian said.
Xie Yan said: "Marquis Wen Ding, why are you doing all this?"
Cao Mian smiled and said: "I don't think the Princess Regent has told the prince. The prince is very lucky. I didn't expect that martial artist Luo Yun to give birth to such a daughter."
Xie Yan frowned slightly and said: "Marquis Wen Ding, you were able to deceive Yaoyao because she is not familiar with you. If you plan to use that trick to fool me, why do you need to ask to see me?"
The smile on Cao Mian's face gradually faded. He stared at Xie Yan for a while and then said: "I didn't completely lie to the princess. This little princess is not that easy to deceive."
Xie Yan didn't answer, just looked at him calmly.
Cao Mian looked up at the roof of the tent and said: "It's been so long that I have forgotten why I did that. Maybe... it's really just because I'm not willing to give in. I, Cao Mian, think that my talent and ability are not inferior to anyone else's. Why?
Do you want to be inferior to others?"
“Being inferior to others?”
Cao Mian smiled and said: "Yes, even if you are the regent, don't you have to kneel to your nephew? Is that yellow-haired kid in Yonghuang City really worth the trouble and effort for the prince to kneel down and worship?"
Xie Yan was not angry, and did not even raise his eyebrows. He just said: "Back then, Master Cao must have thought of me the same way, right?"
Cao Mian said: "I admit that I was indeed wrong about the prince back then. If I had known about the prince... I would never have let him stay at the border safely."
"Marquis Wen Ding is not the first to say this," Xie Yan said.
Cao Mian said: "My lord, there is no need to ask why. Not everything in this world has a reason. I only know that I want to tear this prosperous world apart again, and I want to get what I deserve."
Xie Yan nodded, "What did Marquis Wen Ding do when he met with me?"
Cao Mian said: "If I say I hope the prince will let me go, what chips do I need?"
Xie Yan shook his head and said: "No."
Cao Mian raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Yan. Xie Yan said, "No matter what the conditions are, I will never let you go."
Cao Mian smiled and said: "Where is Fengling Mountain? The army is stationed here. It must be blocked by Fengling Mountain in front, right? As long as the prince lets me go, the soldiers and horses in Fengling Mountain can immediately retreat fifty miles."
Xie Yan stood up and said, "Marquis Wen Ding might as well wait a little longer."
"When?"
Xie Yan said: "When I cannot conquer Fengling Mountain, this bargaining chip will be meaningless to me now."
After saying this, Xie Yan ignored Cao Mian and turned around to go out.
Cao Mian was the only one left in the tent again. Cao Mian looked at the gently swaying door curtain and frowned, lost in thought.
The Qingzhou rebellion and the Gaoyu invasion came suddenly, and now Luo Yun stayed in Shangyong. Xie Yan did not bring with him any generals such as Wei Changting or Yu Mingqiu, but only brought 50,000 Zhenjun and 30,000 armed guards stationed in Shangyong.
He also sent Luo Jinxing and Dingjun to go north together with Gu Jue to attack the Gaoyu people.
Of course, Gu Jue is still at sea and will have to come back later to join Luo Jinxing.
Shang Yong left Luo Yun, two famous generals Yu Mingqiu, and King An Cheng, who was from the clan, who were also able to fight. This way, no matter what happens, Shang Yong can be guaranteed to be safe.
Luo Junyao was startled when he saw Xu Chengyu and Zheng Jingchuan in the army.
"Why are you two here?" The two dandy boys changed out of their original brocade clothes and wore the most common dusty clothes from the bottom of the armed guards, with a lot of dust on their faces.
Seeing Luo Junyao, Xu Chengyu was okay and called her aunt a little shyly. Zheng Jingchuan threw himself at Luo Junyao's feet and howled, "Princess! We have finally seen you! Wuwu...Princess, please help us, we are almost dead."
"
This early in the morning, this chicken cat was making ghostly noises, which frightened the soldiers passing by not far away. They all turned their heads and looked over, wanting to see what kind of weird road this was.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the beautiful girl in blue, and then almost rolled on the ground when they saw Zheng Jingchuan.
The soldiers in the town couldn't help rolling their eyes in disgust, and the soldiers in the armed guards just wanted to kick this embarrassing guy to death.
Xu Chengyu was so thin-skinned that he raised his foot and lightly kicked Zheng Jingchuan and reminded him in a low voice: "That's it, it's all up to you."
Only then did Zheng Jingchuan realize that he had become the focus of everyone's attention. He quickly stopped howling, got up from the ground and dusted himself off.
"Princess, hey, it's so good to see you!"
"..." Luo Junyao said that she couldn't bear so many strange looks. She dragged the two of them to a place where there were fewer people before asking: "Speak of it, what's going on? Why are you here?"
Zheng Jingchuan said aggrievedly: "Didn't the princess ask us to follow you? But we just did some things you told us, and you disappeared. My grandfather also scolded me for three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. I said you
My grandfather insisted that he didn't believe it, so he asked us to come and have a look. What's the point of this girl's disfigurement... Ahem, what I mean is that the old man is old and is just very annoyed. How could he know your grand plan, Princess? I'll follow you
Chengyu had no choice but to visit you at home, and then... he was caught by the prince and sent to the army."
Luo Junyao looked at Xu Chengyu, "Chengyu, tell me." Xie Yan had nothing to do before he decided to go on an expedition with his two burdens.
Xu Chengyu touched his nose and said, "My parents and Duke Cheng Guo asked the prince to take us on the expedition."
Zheng Jingchuan glared at Xu Chengyu with hatred, and Xu Chengyu was helpless.
To him, the Princess Regent was not only a revered person, but also an elder.
What can he do?
Luo Junyao smiled at Zheng Jingchuan, and Zheng Jingchuan was stunned for a moment.
Although he already has a sweetheart, the little princess is really pretty.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Just as he was thinking wildly, his calf suddenly hurt, and Zheng Jingchuan, whose lower body was unstable, fell to the ground.
Luo Junyao pulled back his foot in disgust and said, "You still want to go to the battlefield like this? Isn't it a drag?"
"I don't want to go to the battlefield." Zheng Jingchuan muttered.
He just wanted to say good things to the princess and let the princess and the prince let them go home as soon as possible.
Luo Junyao seemed not to hear what he said, and reached out to lift him up from the ground. He reached out and brushed the dust on his shoulders and said: "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, Ayan probably has no time to care about you. I will definitely train you."
We must become qualified, brave and capable soldiers of the Armed Guards, and we will never let General Xu and Duke Cheng down."
"..." How heroic and skillful are the armed guards? I don't want to become a qualified armed guard.
Zheng Jingchuan wanted to cry but had no tears.
Xu Chengyu looked at Zheng Jingchuan helplessly: I told you not to come, but you didn't listen. How did you know that the regent princess was so soft-hearted that she would intercede for you?
"Princess, Your Majesty invites you."
"I got it." Luo Junyao looked back at the two people behind him and said, "You two change your clothes and come with me. From today on, you will be my bodyguards."
"Yes, Princess!" Zheng Jingchuan instantly felt that he was okay again.
Because they are too squeamish, no one has ever let them go to the battlefield these days.
But the generals of the Wuwei Army had already received Xie Yan's orders, and they would never tolerate them.
They can't escape the hard work of burying pots to make rice, digging holes and filling them with soil, feeding horses and carrying them.
After a few days, I was exhausted and exhausted. I didn't feel like I was an elite soldier fighting in the battlefield at all. Instead, I felt like a laborer who specialized in menial work.
Following the princess, you don't have to go to the battlefield or do rough work, perfect!
Xu Chengyu looked at Zheng Jingchuan. Contrary to Zheng Jingchuan, he had a bad premonition.
In the big tent, Xie Yan was discussing the war with his generals.
She knew all the generals present. One was the deputy commander of the Wuwei Army, Xu Hui's father, Xu Liren, and the other two were deputy generals under the command of the general.
Seeing Luo Jun come in, the three of them immediately stood up and saluted, "I've met the princess."
"No need to be too polite," Luo Jun said.
Xie Yan glanced at the two people following Luo Junyao and said, "Why did you bring them here?"
Luo Junyao said: "Let them follow me from now on. Do I need them to go out?"
Xie Yan waved his hand and said: "No, it's not a secret. They know the rules, come here." As a descendant of the Xu family and the Zheng family, a dandy is a dandy, so he still knows what to say and what not to say.
Luo Junyao walked over. Xu Chengyu and Zheng Jingchuan knew that there was no place for them to sit here, so they consciously stood aside.
Xie Yan took Luo Junyao's hand and asked her to stand next to him. Luo Junyao asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
Xu Liren said with a smile: "I heard from the prince that the princess pacified Yingzhou with less than 3,000 troops. I was really curious, so I asked the princess to forgive me."
Luo Junyao was a little surprised and a little embarrassed, "This is not my credit. The soldiers and horses were all commanded by General Gu. I don't know how to fight."
"The princess is too modest." A lieutenant next to him laughed and said: "General Gu sent a message earlier and said a lot that Yingzhou was able to pacify the princess so quickly.
"
In other words, do they all know what happened in Yingzhou?
Luo Junyao raised his head to look at Xie Yan, who smiled faintly and nodded towards her.
Luo Junyao could only say: "I only know a few small things, and I have to rely on several generals to strategize on the battlefield."
The three generals looked at each other, and Xu Liren, who was the most powerful and alone, was forced to speak, "That... princess..."
"Huh?" Luo Junyao tilted his head slightly and looked at Xu Liren in confusion, "General Xu says what he has to say directly. We are all members of our own family and don't have to be polite."
Xu Liren gritted his teeth and said: "I heard from General Gu that the princess can prepare a kind of gunpowder that is ten times more powerful than ordinary gunpowder. I wonder if the princess can..."
Luo Junyao breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she wanted to say something.
"That's it?"
Xu Liren said with some embarrassment: "Actually, the army also has gunpowder and cannonballs, but their power is far from what General Gu said in his letter. Fengling Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so we thought..."
Luo Junyao thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, it just depends on whether you can prepare all the raw materials."
"Thank you, Princess!" The three generals were overjoyed and thanked them in unison.
Luo Jun waved his hands to show that he didn't need to care.
Xie Yan looked at the three generals and said calmly: "You can go out."
The three of them did not hesitate and bowed respectfully to the two of them before leaving.
After the three of them left the tent, Luo Junyao asked, "Why do you want General Xu and others to come and talk to me? You can just ask me directly."
Xie Yan smiled lightly and said: "We have to let them know who helped them. Is there any danger? There are experienced craftsmen in the army who specialize in making gunpowder. Let them do it?"
Luo Junyao said: "You can let them learn from me, but now it's more comfortable for me to do it myself. Don't worry, it's not difficult."
Xie Yan looked down at her, and Luo Jun shook his head and looked at him.
"Don't you ask me why I do this?" What is being configured this time is not an upgraded version of the ordinary black powder of this era, but the more commonly used yellow explosive in modern times, which is powerful and stable.
Xie Yan was silent for a moment, raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head and said, "Be safe, wait until you want to say something."
"Yes." Luo Junyao nodded heavily, with a pleasant smile on his delicate face.
After talking about business, Xie Yan looked at Xu Chengyu and Zheng Jingchuan and frowned.
"Are you sure you want them two to follow you?" There was obvious disgust in his tone.
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "What? Can't you do that? They don't have anything serious to do in the Armed Guards, so it's just right for them to follow me."
Xie Yan said: "No, they are too weak."
These two are following Yao Yao, and it's hard to say who is protecting whom.
It's okay to follow some miscellaneous things in Shangyong, but Qingzhou is not safe now, and Xie Yan will never allow these two to hold him back.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Luo Junyao smiled and said: "I don't have to charge into battle, I also have the ability to protect myself. It's enough for these two to be thrown out as shields when they are in danger."
The two prepared shields were trembling.
Xie Yan glanced at the two of them and saw that she had made up her mind and had to agree, "Starting from tomorrow, I will train with the guard camp every day."
"..." Heaven is going to destroy me, and the police are more terrifying than the armed guards.
After leaving the tent, Zheng Jingchuan looked at Luo Junyao quietly, "Princess, do you really want to throw us out as a shield when you are in danger?"
Luo Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "Otherwise, what other uses do you have?"
"..." Zheng Jingchuan looked at her with a resentful expression, as if he was looking at a heartless man.
Luo Junyao was also amused by his funny appearance. Zheng Jingchuan was not very useful for other purposes, but it was still excellent for relaxing his mood.
"Okay, don't worry." Luo Junyao said, "I said I will turn you into qualified soldiers of the Armed Guards and I will never break my promise and I won't die."
"..." No need to.
Xu Chengyu whispered: "Auntie, did you really bring down the entire Yingzhou with only two thousand people?"
Luo Junyao said: "As I said, it is the troops commanded by General Gu, and the actual available troops are not two thousand, but more than twenty thousand."
"That's pretty awesome too." Xu Chengyu said with some envy.
My aunt is only seventeen years old, so she is a bit older in terms of age.
People can travel thousands of miles across the sea to quell the chaos, but he and Zheng Jingchuan are still working as roughnecks in the army.
Luo Junyao said: "Didn't your parents send you to join the army to study? Don't worry, Ayan is your uncle. Even if I don't tell him, he won't really let you two do odd jobs all the time. Don't be afraid of hard work and study hard.
, General Xu is also a general with great achievements in battle, you are his son and you will do well."
Xu Chengyu nodded seriously and said: "Yes, aunt!"
Luo Junyao turned around and said to Zheng Jingchuan: "The same goes for you. Don't let Duke Cheng Guo down. Think about it, your sister Liu is still waiting for you to go back."
"..." Zheng Jingchuan glared at Xu Chengyu: traitor!
