It was night, and two black figures flew out of Zhuolang Fort carrying a large sack. They ran wildly for a while using Qinggong in the snow, and then slowly stopped when they saw a herdsman's yurt not far away.
"Lou, leave him here."
"Okay, it looks like he's not so stupid that he won't ask for help. Gui, let's go."
"Well, let's go."
After throwing down the sacks, the two black figures immediately turned back the way they came. They walked into Zhuolang Fort quietly and wanted to go back to their room in the dark. Unexpectedly, they were bumped into by Ashang who had been waiting there for a long time.
Got it right.
"Haha, you two, where are you going?" Ashangpi stared at them with a smile.
The two looked at each other, Gui Su spread his hands and said, "I went to chat with Xiaomei."
"I'm going to go have a drink with Kang." Lou Su's expression remained unchanged.
"Hmph, you two, don't think that I don't know," Ah Shang snorted coldly and straightened his face, "Where did the cold wind go?"
"I don't know," the two of them said, asking questions and not knowing.
"We'll see what you say when the lady asks you for someone." Ah Shang said nothing and turned around to leave, but saw Yi Su walking over. His pretty face turned red and he immediately stayed where he was.
Yi Su looked at the three of them and said to Ashang clearly, "Xin, Han Feng's identity is always suspicious, and it makes sense for Lou and Gui to do this." As early as when Lou Su and the two sneaked into Han Feng's room.
, he had already seen it, but he remained silent. After all, there cannot be any potential danger in Zhuolang Fort. This may be the best way.
Ah Shang lowered his head. Although he still felt sorry for Han Feng, Yi's words were correct. She glanced at him secretly and nodded slightly, "I understand. I won't tell the lady."
"Haha, it seems that Yi's words are effective." Gui Su winked at Ashang ambiguously.
"Okay, let's just pretend that today's incident didn't happen. Let's all go back and rest." Yi Su ordered calmly, and everyone dispersed.
Qisa Military Camp.
In the commander's tent, Zhang Shi, a general on the left, and Liu Mu, a general on the right, stood on both sides, and the person sitting in the middle respectfully reported.
Zhang Shi cupped his fists and reported, "The emperor has issued an order to urge us to launch an attack as soon as possible."
Liu Mu intervened and said urgently, "King Yan, we can't wait any longer. Yan Beiguo is responding quickly, and delaying it any longer will not do us any good."
The Flame King, dressed in a green shirt, has a fair face, not as dark as the years of battle, but full of masculinity. A pair of clear eyes, sharp, wise, and domineering, with a calm and steady face, and has the ability to withstand the collapse of Mount Tai without changing his appearance.
It seems as if any sudden change will not affect him as a general. With thousands of troops, who can be the king? Everything is in his hands.
The determination and pride of that life allowed him to stand on a battlefield full of smoke and sweep thousands of troops. Compared with politics and the throne, there is no such comfort that war brings him. This is why he likes to fight.
But at this moment, he was thinking about a question, a question that had never appeared in his mind and could be called a "problem".
Why is there war?
He could not forget the confused look on her face when she asked Han Feng this question. What he had taken for granted before had become a doubt that would trouble him.
Seeing Yan Wang's rapt gaze, Zhang Shi and Liu Mu looked at each other and tentatively called out, "Fire King?"
Wan Qiyan slowly raised his eyes and asked casually, "Tell me, why are you fighting?"
"Uh..." The two of them looked at each other, wondering why King Yan suddenly asked such a question.
"A man is determined to serve his country." Zhang Shi answered first.
Liu Mu thought for a moment and replied, "As a soldier, his value and significance can only be reflected during battles."
"Really?" After hearing the two people's answers, Wan Qiyan relaxed his body slightly and muttered, "I'm just fighting for the sake of fighting, but I don't know why I'm fighting..."
"Fire King..."
Ever since Flame King came back, the two of them noticed that there was something strange about him. They couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Hey, fifth brother, you're finally back." The curtain opened and Wan Qijing walked in.
"I've met King Jing." Zhang Shi and Liu Mu bowed before quickly retreating. Presumably, there was nothing they could discuss with King Yan at this time.
"Third brother," Wan Qiyan didn't move, he sat there quietly and looked at Wan Qijing who was approaching him.
Wan Qijing had long been accustomed to his behavior of ignoring elders and inferiors. Waving a paper fan, he sat aside and said, "Fifth brother, I am going to return to the court tomorrow." He drove the expedition in person, and Wan Qiqing's
The imperial edict is that he can only return to the court after a complete victory. If Wan Qiyan hadn't suddenly disappeared, he could have gone back long ago. After all, there is really no use for him on the battlefield, so it is better to go back and do practical things that are beneficial to him.
.
"Okay, there is really no use for Third Brother to stay here. It's better to go back." Wan Qiyan's sarcasm made him immediately darken his face. Among all the brothers, he dared to speak outright no matter who he was. But, because of him
His great military exploits, and no one dared to punish him.
Suppressing his displeasure, Wan Qijing was calm, "Fifth brother, you also know that third brother is not suitable for wielding swords and guns. How can you have fifth brother's ability? But the emperor doesn't think so," he glanced at Wan Qiyan.
, he smiled meaningfully, "We brothers don't have to hide their words anymore. Fifth brother, don't blame third brother for not reminding you. The emperor is now the new emperor who has ascended the throne. It is the time to employ people, and the emperor is also
He knows how to employ people well. The fifth brother is invincible on the battlefield, and he can't wait to borrow the power of the fifth brother to unify the three kingdoms. But what happens after the world is at peace? The fifth brother, a hero with great achievements, and
How will we deal with it? Third brother doesn’t need to say much, fifth brother should know what he’s doing.”
Wan Qiyan curled his lips in disdain and looked at him with eyes that seemed to penetrate people's hearts, "Third brother, am I using this thing on the wrong person? You and fourth brother have been fighting openly and secretly since childhood.
Now that I have become a monarch and a minister, I am still tireless. I would like to advise the third brother, the consequences of being an enemy of the fourth brother are more terrible than you imagine. He can let you go out on his behalf and contact me, so he is not afraid of you fanning the flames in front of me. Say
Maybe, the words you just said will be transmitted to him intact, and by then, the third brother may not even be able to protect himself."
Wan Qijing's face became very ugly. Wan Qiqing was so angry that he didn't know what to do, but at the same time he secretly agreed with his words in his heart. Yes, Wan Qiqing could let him come here, so he wouldn't be afraid of inciting his fifth brother.
Perhaps, it was because he had no excuse to deal with him that he asked him to drive on his behalf. He raised his head and looked at Wan Qiyan, who had a sarcastic look on his face. He could see the problem at a glance. He was definitely not a reckless man who only knew how to fight.
Wan Qijing suddenly smiled and said, "Fifth brother is right, but third brother didn't think enough about it."
"Third brother, do you know about Dragon Girl?" Wan Qiyan suddenly asked, making him slightly startled, and then nodded, "Yes."
"Let's talk about it." Wan Qiyan looked at him with great interest.
Wan Qijing had long heard that the coach of Yanbei Kingdom was Lan Xuanjun, and it was reasonable for his fifth brother to want to know her. He said without much thought, "She is really a god-like woman in Qisa."
After sending Wan Qijing away, she sat alone in the tent. The smile on her lips never faded. In the battle of Minglan Mountain, she won a great victory with 80,000 troops, and her tricks were boasted by several generals as unparalleled in the world.
.If there is any woman who can make these soldiers willingly surrender, it is only her!
It is undeniable that her formation was indeed clever. Even he had to agree that he would not despise the other party because she was a woman. He even had the idea of competing with her. I heard that Yan Yan this time
The Northern Army was under her command, and the blood in his body had begun to boil.
But……
The dragon girl he saw turned out to be such a petite and quiet woman. Her eyes, especially, were very unique. When she looked at him, his soul seemed to want to run towards her involuntarily. With just one glance, he could
Lost and shocked by his own thoughts, he began to look squarely at this legendary fairy-like woman.
She said, his name is Hanfeng...
He liked this name, especially these two words coming out of her mouth.
Her smile always made him feel a little bitter. When she whispered to the grassland, the wind blew her loneliness into his ears. She was shocked by the magnificence of the grassland, but he was touched by her beauty.
She turned out to be his former fourth sister-in-law. Should he feel sorry for the fourth brother? Does he know what kind of treasure he has missed? Has the fourth brother already realized that he wanted to take over the grassland in one go?
What is the war for?
The next day.
When Wan Qijing returned to Jiangcheng, Wan Qijing did not show up to see him off. Instead, he sent a letter to the emperor. After leaving the camp, Wan Qijing opened the letter.
His brows were furrowed, and he couldn't believe his eyes. He actually dared to write a book and directly apply to the emperor to resign from the position of marshal?!
Could it be that your words of persuading him had an effect?
Wan Qijing put the letter in angrily. The fifth brother had never listened to him before, so why did he listen at this juncture? But the temper of the fifth brother was always the same. Not to mention the fourth brother, when the late emperor was still alive
, he can do whatever he wants. Doesn’t this make it clear that he is an army? How do you want him to explain it when he returns?
After returning to the capital of Qisa, although he was worried, he had to hand the letter to Wan Qiqing. After all, such matters were not trivial and he would never dare to conceal them.
After reading the letter, Wan Qiqing was so angry that he slapped the dragon case, and stared at Wan Qijing coldly with his eagle eyes, "King Jing, what's going on? I sent you to drive the expedition in person, so you can guide me
You responded with such a result?" If he hadn't grown up with his fifth brother and knew his character, he would have thought that his sudden resignation must have been secretly instigated by someone to deliberately make things difficult.
Wan Qijing screamed in his heart, fearing that suspicion would be cast on him. His face remained calm, "Your Majesty, you also know what my fifth brother is like. If he said he was resigning, he would definitely quit this business. The only solution is now.
We have to find someone to replace the fifth brother as soon as possible, the commander-in-chief of Yanbei Kingdom is the Dragon Girl."
Wan Qiqing's face was stern. After hearing that she was going to lead the army, he felt really mixed emotions. She must have done this for him, but being an enemy of her was the last thing he wanted.
Yan Beiguo's strength should not be underestimated. Everyone in the Twenty-eight Sus can hold their own, and he has seen her talent in leading troops. Now, the fifth brother has resigned again, and there is no one in the court who can replace the fifth brother steadily.
Win. In the absence of the fifth brother, the consequence of persistence is that both sides will suffer losses. Some people in the court have begun to express dissatisfaction over this. Jun'er's status in the hearts of the people is extremely high. If they learn that he insists on being an enemy of Longnu, I am afraid that they will
Will lose public opinion first!
Since Wan Qixun has left her side, he does not have to rush for this moment. After thinking over and over again, the key is to stabilize his throne first and eliminate the threats around him.
After making up his mind, Wan Qiqing said in a deep voice, "Draw up the decree and withdraw the troops!"
His thoughts are very clear to Wan Qijing. It seems that he must seize the time to struggle with his own strength, otherwise, he will only be eliminated by Wan Qiqing!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In the hall of Zhuolang Fort, Zhongsu and Maimai all looked surprised. Just now, they got the news that Qisa's army had withdrawn, and hundreds of thousands of people had all returned to the court.
There is no mystery at all in Wan Qiqing's decision. It has been puzzling since they were stationed two hundred miles away without any movement. There is really no reasonable explanation for the sudden withdrawal of troops. The only possibility is that they
When there was a crisis in the court, he had to take care of internal worries first. Anyway, Tiandu Kingdom had surrendered, and it was not difficult to turn around and deal with Yanbei. He didn't have to rush for this moment.
In any case, being able to retreat is a good thing for Yanbei.
The tense nerves that had been tense for the past few days could finally be relaxed at the right time, but Mai Mai still told Lou Su to report the opponent's intelligence in time, for fear of being deceitful. He must not relax even in military training, because Qi Sa and Yan Bei
This battle is inevitable.
"Miss, look who's back."
Ah Shang walked in in surprise, followed by a dirty man. When he saw Mai Mai, he immediately ran over happily, "Miss! The cold wind is back!"
"Pfft!" Guisu spit out a mouthful of tea.
Lou Su also widened his eyes, "This kid..."
Mai Mai saw the two people's reactions and didn't point it out. After Han Feng disappeared, she heard the sound of strings from Yi's words and didn't ask any more questions.
"Hanfeng, where have you been these past few days? How did you come back?"
"Uh..." Han Feng was about to speak when Gui Su and Lou Su stood up to each other.
"Haha, Hanfeng, you must be hungry. Master Gui will take you down to eat something."
"It's better to go down with Mr. Lou and change clothes."
Without any explanation, he walked out of the living room despite the cold wind.
Ah Shang shook his head and laughed. He approached Mai Mai and said, "He was brought back by an old herdsman. I heard he was hungry for two days!"
"Well, just come back." Mai Mai nodded, "I hope something like this won't happen again in the future." Looking back at Yi, the latter's eyes were slightly lowered, not looking directly at him.
After pondering for a moment, Mai Mai finally suppressed the turbulent emotions that had been struggling and made up his mind, "Now that the Qi Sa Army matter has come to an end for the time being, we should clean up the house next."
Ah Shang's expression was a little complicated, "Miss, you mean..."
Yi Su also raised his head, and then nodded, "Yes, mistress."
