There was no impurity in the young man's beautiful eyes at this moment, and his "request" had no weight at all.
He shouldered the responsibility of guarding the Northern Territory without hesitation, committing all his life and safety to this most difficult war in the world. However, what he chose to leave Cui Ling'an for himself was "more that can be used to support him"
Good day to wait for”.
Those whose burdens are as heavy as a mountain should ask for something as light as a feather.
Accompanied by the gentle breeze, this piece of red feathers blew through Chang Sui Ning's heart.
She wanted to ask Cui Ling'an whether he knew that the most difficult thing in this world to repay is the good that comes from nothing.
Seeing that she did not answer, the young man asked again under the pine tree: "Can your Highness agree?"
Chang Suining came back to his senses and said in a relaxed tone: "It's a small matter, why shouldn't you do it?"
"You have worked so hard in the north, and I have come all the way to see you. All you have to ask for is this." Chang Suining's relaxed tone contained a hint of disgust and a hint of generosity: "I'll think of something more decent to ask later.
.”
There was a faint smile of contentment in Cui Jing's eyes: "It's enough to have you here in person."
This was the most "decent" good thing he could think of.
When Cui Jing thought of the word "presentable", something suddenly occurred to her, and the smile in her eyes fell silently.
After a moment, he said: "I just didn't know you were coming, so I was rude again."
"Where are you being rude? Let me see." Chang Sui Ning clasped his hands, took a step closer to him, leaned forward and looked at his face, looking at him very carefully: "You are obviously very decent and good-looking."
Cui Jing had stopped breathing, and the tips of her ears were getting hot uncontrollably.
As he lowered his eyes, he saw that she was still staring at him. He slowly turned his face to one side seemingly calmly, trying his best to hide his confusion.
"I'm serious." Chang Sui Ning slightly curved the corner of his mouth and said to Cui Jing: "You look like this now so that Dasheng Jiangshan and the people don't have to be 'discourteous'."
A country that has been brutally trampled by the foreign cavalry will no longer have dignity and dignity at all.
"You are protecting the land of Dasheng and the dignity of your people. Even if you are exposed to wind and sand, it will not damage your etiquette." Chang Sui Ning said: "To me, you are here now, which is the most profound courtesy. Now
There are few people in this world as noble and pure as you, Cui Ling'an."
His dignity is no longer due to Qinghe Cui's bloodline and cultivation, but to his determination to protect the country from beginning to end.
Cui Jing looked a little stunned as they looked at each other.
The next moment, he saw a look similar to "protecting one's shortcomings" in those clear eyes: "Whoever dares to say you are rude, I will knock his head off."
Cui Jing: "Qin Protector——"
Chang Suining pretended to ask: "Did he really say that?"
"No." A smile appeared in Cui Jing's eyes: "Qin Duhu is a good man, so let's keep his head."
As soon as Cui Jing finished speaking, she suddenly stretched out a hand and caught a pine needle that fell from above and was about to fall on Chang Sui Ning's head.
The emerald green pine needles were slightly cool. When they fell straight down, they lightly stung the palms, causing a slight and fleeting sting. When this touch spread from the palms to the heart, it turned into a vivid and vivid joy.
With this feeling, Cui Jing took back half of his hand and showed the pine needle to Chang Sui Ning.
Chang Suining looked at it and naturally raised his hand to pick it up from his palm.
The slightly cool fingertips touched the palm of the hand, and a distinct feeling similar to but better than when pine needles dropped felled in the young man's heart.
Chang Sui Ning picked up the pine needle, looked at it in the sun, and suddenly said in a confused way: "Cui Ling'an, this pine needle looks very similar to you."
Cold, hard, sharp, and a hint of bitter pine wood aroma.
He is upright, upright, noble, does not follow the world, and never argues and proves himself.
Chang Suining held the pine needle in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Cui Jing, saying: "If you think it is rude to rush around in order to survive and have no time to take care of your appearance, then I hope that one day, you, me and the people of the world,
There is no time to be rude. In these four seas and abroad, our country can maintain the posture of a great power and maintain eternal stability and order without having to bow in any direction."
What she said was "wish" that one day, and the "wish" here is still a wish to herself.
Cui Jing listened to the still calm tone and looked at the two inches of sunlight falling on her body. The sunlight intertwined with the shadows of the trees and her silhouette, seeming to form a grand picture, on which a person wanted to take on a mortal body.
With the determination of all the people in this world to change their lives as a pen, and with the blood and bones of two generations as ink, I draw a new world.
Cui Jing knew that this was what she had wanted for a long time.
After a moment, he nodded and said with conviction: "There will be such a day."
As long as she is here, there is hope that this grand plan will come to this world.
Chang Suining turned around and continued to move forward, walking lightly and speaking in a casual tone: "Then let's discuss carefully how to skin and debone the jackal in Beidi, cut off its claws and teeth, dissect its ambition, and chop it into pieces."
Cui Jing followed him, and his tone was not serious: "His Highness is here, it's just a small matter."
Chang Suining turned to look at him: "Cui Ling'an, you are also very proficient in the art of flattery and killing."
Cui Jing's face said something strange: "It is also a common practice of military strategists to increase one's prestige."
Chang Suining nodded: "Very good. If the Beidi spies take a look and see that all of our Dasheng coaches are so arrogant and complacent, they will probably celebrate in advance."
Cui Jing: "That's good, it just makes them relax their guard."
The two of them talked casually, but they knew better than anyone else that the battle in Beidi was unprecedentedly difficult.
Even though Chang Suining had the experience of defeating Beidi, he was not absolutely sure of winning at this time.
Dasheng is several times weaker than it was twenty years ago, while Beidi has been recharging its energy and strength, and its combat power cannot be underestimated.
Thinking of this, Chang Suining exhaled a long breath in her heart. The more this happened, the more fortunate she was that Cui Jing existed. He had preserved Xuance's army and dared to insist on cultivating cavalry in Bingzhou even though he was in danger.
This foresight, as well as courage and determination, are the keys to staying alive for Da Sheng.
For the next five or six days, Chang Suining, Cui Jing, and other generals discussed and deduced the next war plan almost from morning to night. Chang Suining and Cui Jing often sat facing each other until late at night.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qin Duhu and others saw in their eyes that they already knew Chang Suining's determination to stay and fight together. In addition to being surprised, they felt even more admiration.
.
In addition to the 10,000 Jiangdu cavalry brought by him, Chang Suining has sent a message to Tang Xing to send another 20,000 cavalry here for training - these 20,000 cavalry come from Fan Yang's captured soldiers, as well as the scattered soldiers gathered during this period.
The amount of power, this pieced together, is all the sincerity that Chang Sui Ning can show at this time.
In addition, she bet herself on this war.
And she never said anything about it from beginning to end, she just stayed like this, as if it was the right thing to do, without the need to show off or even explain the reasons for doing so.
When the prophet Chang Sui Ning arrived in person, Qin Duhu and others only thought that she was coming with the army, or that she might be taking this opportunity to win over the forces in their Anbei Duhufu... After all, she came all the way from Luoyang and never stopped.
She has set out to expand her own power, and her ambition is an indisputable fact.
But such a person with an overwhelming advantage chose to pledge his 30,000 cavalry and stay in Yinshan, the most dangerous place with the least "reward".
Qin Duhu sighed in his heart more than once.
Although the Changjie envoy did not say anything to win over, his actions had already convinced everyone in the Anbei Protectorate, so there was no need to use words to impress people.
The Governor of Qin discussed with his staff and decided to publicize Chang Suining's decision to stay in the north with a heavy army.
First, they thought Chang Jie made such a righteous deed worthy of such fame.
Secondly, they wanted to use the name of Chang Sui Ning to stabilize the hearts of the people in the north, and even recruit more righteous people to join the battle to protect the country against Beidi, mobilize morale, and reunite the people's hearts like scattered sand.
As this matter continued to be implemented, Qin Duhu became more and more aware of its extraordinary significance.
At a time when the mountains and rivers are devastated and the country is confused and confused, the power of example is so huge and important.
When the northern border was intensively deployed to challenge Beidi, the news that Cui Jing secretly trained 40,000 cavalry in Bingzhou was known all over the world, and the imperial court in the capital was even more outraged.
The number of cavalry reported to the court by Bingzhou had never exceeded 10,000, but at this time, a total of 40,000 cavalry suddenly appeared!
Such a large number of cavalry cannot be obtained overnight, or even within one or two years... but the court knows nothing about it!
Both the government and the public were angry and frightened.
The prince sat at the top, listening to the courtiers' scolding of Cui Jing's move, and did not dare to answer the question - now he has experience in supervising the country, and even though these courtiers were scolding him fiercely at the moment, he
Once Cui Jing was asked to answer the question, few people would dare to respond directly.
So he'd better keep his mouth shut, so as to save each other from embarrassment, riding a tiger with difficulty, and ending up in a situation where big eyes stare at small eyes.
After all, Governor Cui is still guarding the northern border. It seems that the 40,000 cavalry are not used for rebellion... Taking a step back, is it possible that the imperial court did not make any mistakes at all? Not to mention whether there was an oversight or not, if the imperial court had done anything wrong at the time
After agreeing to expand the number of cavalry in the Xuance Army, would Governor Cui hide it like this?
Driven by the desire to survive, Prince Li Zhi, who was always good at introspection, quickly rushed to the Manlu Palace after going to court.
In the palace, Li Zhi bowed respectfully to the empress, who was wearing a wide robe.
The emperor's complexion looked much better than before, but Li Zhi sometimes felt inexplicably that he was holding on with one breath, and this breath was the battle situation on Shannan West Road.
Li Zhiwei did not dare to think deeply about this matter. After saluting, he truthfully reported the reactions of the courtiers today.
It was impossible for the Holy Emperor to know about the Bingzhou cavalry later than the courtiers. At this moment, there was no emotion on her face, only a coldness remained in her eyes.
Forty thousand cavalry, such a number, no matter which dynasty, generation or emperor is placed in it, it is impossible not to be frightened and angry, and she is no exception.
The emperor understood that this was a corruption oversight by the Dasheng Ma government officials, but she was also convinced that there was absolutely no way that the Bingzhou Ma government officials, both superiors and subordinates, would be completely negligent!
Bingzhou has always been a horse ranch, with natural geographical advantages that can be used to raise a large number of horses. As for the training of cavalry, of course, it can also be trained through a fixed number of cavalry. Normally, only ordinary troops are reported, as long as there are not 40,000 cavalry like this time
Appearing in front of others together, there is a possibility of concealment——
However, such a concealment method can be used to deal with the imperial court far away in the capital, but it is impossible to hide the Bingzhou Ma Zheng without any flaws!
Then there is only one truth: among the horse administration officials in Bingzhou, there must be someone who has been helping Cui Jing to hide the news from the court for a long time!
This is a major crime against the Nine Tribes, but some people are willing to take this risk to help Cui Jing... Are those people not afraid of death?
She knew very well that the emperor's imperial power had limited control over his generals, so since she ascended the throne, she had never stopped suppressing and intimidating disloyal people. Most of the generals who harbored disloyal intentions died because of this, but why?
No matter how she kills, she can't kill all these alienated people who appear like locusts in an endless stream?
The prince asked anxiously whether he wanted to punish the officials who had failed to observe the situation and... Governor Cui.
"What can I ask for guilt at this moment?" There was a suppressed chill in the calm tone of Emperor Shengzhen: "When the army of the Western Dao of Shannan has returned with a great victory, we will discuss the merits and demerits of Cui Jing's matter."
The imperial court put all its troops on Shannan West Road. Facing other places, as long as it did not directly threaten the imperial court, it would try its best to appease, calm, mitigate and postpone the emergence of chaos.
The power struggle at critical moments is never just about openness and decisiveness, but more often about conspiracy and mediation, or even humiliation and forbearance.
The empress never lost her reason when faced with a situation. From her point of view, she was always sober and calm.
Since she came to the throne, she admits that she has never acted on a whim or acted impulsively. Every step she takes is not out of emotion, but after repeated calculations and measurements. For ten years, this is the emperor of the Holy Book.
Her constant demands on herself and her calmness are also her greatest strengths in self-view.
Recently, the Holy Emperor often thought about a rumor about the eagle.
According to legend, when the eagle king gets old, he will fly to the top of the mountain, hit the rock with his beak, and make the beak fall off. When the beak grows back, he will pluck out all the dull nails and feathers, and then he will guard the mountain.
The blood-soaked body hid in a rock cave until it grew new feathers and regained the ability to fly.
The Holy Emperor often felt that he was like an eagle whose feathers had been plucked and its beak cut off. Before his new life came, he must keep his eyes on the direction of the cave entrance to be on guard against attacks from enemies at any time.
The direction of the "cave entrance" she was focusing on was the direction of Shannan West Road.
Therefore, she never thought that the real disaster would appear from the "hole" where she was staying.
There were no raptors of the same kind that she was wary of, only insects and ants that she had never seen before. It was in the corner that she couldn't see that these "insects and ants" had gathered into a force, and they were flowing like a tide.
It gnawed and engulfed her, and was about to cause the mountain top where she was standing to collapse.
This earth-shattering change caused by "insects and ants" started with an ordinary wind and cold.
