Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1424 Dangerous situation
The night is already deep, and the night in the north is much colder than that in the south.

It was cold and windy outside, but a study in the Huo Mansion was as warm as spring.

This study room is not only full of books, but also a huge sand table, on which are the topography of the six countries in the Great Wall and the signs of important cities. Feel.

Ying Xun closed the letterhead in his hand and stared at the sand table with a complicated expression.

"How is it? It took my grandfather six years to find someone to do it," Huo Zhan walked in from the outside, and said with a loud smile, "as a gift for His Highness's 16th birthday, isn't it shabby?"

"Huo Weiwei has a heart," Ying Xun said.

Huo Zhan's grandfather used to serve as a Weiwei who commanded the guards to guard the palace in Daqin. Later, even if he followed him to Southern Chu, everyone still used to call him Huo Weiwei.

"Where," Huo Zhan walked to the sand table, "my grandfather said that all the land on this sand table used to belong to Daqin and should have belonged to the eldest son. , these places will definitely come back.”

Rejuvenation.

great cause.

Ying Xun clenched the letter in his hand tightly. Since he fled to Nanchu when he could remember, people have been chanting these two words in his ears.

He used to be excited about these two words, but now he feels overwhelmed.

Ying Xun laughed at himself, "I can't even save a village, so why talk about a great cause."

"My lord, are you still thinking about that village?" Huo Zhan frowned, "Didn't my grandfather say that? Even if we rushed there, it was too late, and besides, they were just some untouchables who were not from Daqin, how could they be with you?" Your safety on par?"

Sensing the gloomy look in Ying Xun's eyes, Huo Zhan took a deep breath.

When they were on their way to Pingcheng, they encountered some bandits and horse thieves along the way. Generally, in order to prevent these people from ruining Ying Xun's mood, his grandfather would send people out to scout the road. But one time, a wave of horse thieves came too fast, and Ying Xun happened to run into them.

Ying Xun immediately wanted to save people, but the group of them didn't have many masters, and they protected Ying Xun tremblingly, how could they concentrate on saving people?
Huo Zhan understood his grandfather. In his heart, nothing in the world was more important than Ying Xun's safety. Since he was a child, his grandfather would blame himself even if Ying Xun broke a little oily skin. He would never let Ying Xun go and save the untouchables.

Facing Ying Xun's urgent order, his grandfather just agreed with his lips, but kept winking at himself standing behind Ying Xun.

When his grandfather's eyes turned into threats, Huo Zhan had no choice but to knock Ying Xun unconscious.

Just because he hit harder at that time, Ying Xun was left with bruises, and he was punished by his grandfather to kneel for two full hours afterwards.

When Ying Xun woke up, they were half a day away from the village.

Huo Zhan thought he would get angry, but Ying Xun just sat silently in the carriage without saying anything.

That's right, since he was a child, he should have gotten used to the protection of the former Qin survivors.

"My lord," Huo Zhan was silent for a moment, "I actually went to check that village secretly after you passed out that day. It has been looted and slaughtered, so it's useless for us to go there."

He also tried his best, but good luck tricked people.No matter what happens, as a subject, he must put Ying Xun's safety first.

"Really?" Ying Xun nodded, his expression unchanged.

"My lord, you don't need to care so much." Huo Zhan was a little embarrassed, and continued to comfort, "Such vicious horse bandits are rare after all, we just met by chance."

"Really?" Ying Xun remained expressionless.

After that day, he never met any bandits on the road again. The Northern Wei Dynasty was as peaceful and stable as a fairyland on earth, and even the mountain paths were cleaned up.

Ying Xun's eyes moved to the majestic sand table.

It's just this Northern Wei, is it the Northern Wei that he saw with his eyes, or the Northern Wei that those people wanted him to see?

"You all told me that there were not so many horse thieves in the Northern Wei Dynasty," Ying Xun unfolded the letter in his hand, "Have you heard of the Princess Army?"

Under the candlelight, the three big characters on the letter in Ying Xun's hand made Huo Zhan's heart skip a beat.

This is a letter from the Huo family's intelligence line.Of course, the information that can reach Ying Xun's hands is all selected.

Huo Zhan took a deep breath.

"My grandfather just asked me to come and tell you about this." Huo Zhan hesitated for a moment, "My lord, has Your Highness the Princess ever visited you since?"

Ying Xun put the letter aside, with an indifferent expression, "Don't you know if she came to see me?"

After leaving Soochow, Huo Zhan's grandfather rushed to him from Southern Chu to serve as the commander of the guards. Since then, Huo Zhan has stayed by his side twelve hours a day, twelve hours a day.

He even stood outside the door when he went to the bathroom.

Huo Zhan's expression became more and more embarrassing, "Your Highness, my grandfather said that if the princess comes to see you, you must not be alone in the room with her."

"What?" Ying Xun threw the letter on the table and said calmly, "Are you afraid she will kill me?"

Huo Zhan's pupils shrank slightly, but remembering his grandfather's entrustment, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master, Your Highness the Princess has been buying people's hearts for a month, and even has the tendency to form an army. My grandfather and the old people think that Her Highness the Princess may have disobedience. "

Although a mere princess did not pose any threat to the throne, and the grandfather and the others didn't take Ying Baoyue's action seriously at first, but as the name of the Princess Army became more and more famous, voices gradually became heard among the former Qin survivors.

Defenses can not do without.

If Ying Baoyue was going to vote to the Northern Wei Dynasty or Soochow Wu and lead people to annex the land of the former Qin Dynasty, there would inevitably be another big obstacle in the way of the eldest son's restoration of the country in the future.

"The heart of not being a minister?" Ying Xun smiled, "I don't remember that she is my minister."

If his father knew that this group of people had such ridiculous ideas, and he agreed, he would probably jump out of the ground and beat him to death.

"Is it the king's land in the whole world, is it the king's minister on the shore of the land," Huo Zhan exhaled, "His Royal Highness is almost surrounded by people from other countries, and maybe one day they will embark on the road of treason. A word of advice, beware of this person."

Although Huo Zhan felt that with the current situation, Ying Baoyue might not appear in front of Ying Xun again.

"Really? Watch out for me?"

At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, and the candles in the study suddenly went out.

A soft female voice sounded behind him.

Huo Zhan's scalp felt numb as if struck by lightning.

The white moonlight shines into the room.

Ying Xun looked at the girl standing under the moonlight and held his breath.

"you……"

Huo Zhan turned his head stiffly.

Ying Baoyue was standing behind him.
