No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 475
Xie Yan stared at Cao Mian calmly, then nodded his head slightly after a long while and said, "Marquis Wen Ding, don't come here without any problems."

Cao Mian smiled, "It's not appropriate for the prince to tell me this. How can the prisoners be safe?"

Xie Yan raised his hand to signal for Duoying to retreat, walked to the side and sat down and asked, "Why?"

"Why?" Cao Mian asked.

Xie Yan said: "Wen Dinghou, what is the purpose of doing all this?"

Cao Mian said with a smile: "I don't think the princess regent told the lord that the lord is lucky. I didn't expect that martial artist Luo Yun would give birth to such a daughter."

Xie Yan frowned slightly, and said: "Wen Dinghou, you were able to deceive Yaoyao because she is not familiar with you. If you plan to use that trick to fool me, why bother to ask to see me?"

The smile on Cao Mian's face gradually faded, he stared at Xie Yan for a long time before saying: "I'm not completely deceiving the princess, this little princess is not so easy to deceive."

Xie Yan didn't answer, just looked at him calmly.

Cao Mian looked up at the top of the tent and said: "It's been too long, I have forgotten why I did that back then, maybe... it was really just because I was unwilling. I, Cao Mian, think that my talent and ability are not inferior to anyone. Why? Want to bow down to others?"

"Being inferior to others?" Xie Yan said, "Except for the position of the Ninth Five-Year Master, it seems that there is no need to be inferior to others."

Cao Mian smiled and said, "That's right, even the Regent, wouldn't he still kneel down to his nephew? That yellow-haired boy in Shangyonghuang City, is it really worth the effort of the prince to bow his head and worship him?"

Xie Yan didn't get angry, he didn't even raise his eyebrows, he just said: "Back then, Mr. Cao must have thought of me the same way, right?"

Cao Mian said: "I admit that I really misjudged the prince back then. If I had known the prince... I would never have let the prince stay safely at the border."

"Wen Dinghou is not the first to say this." Xie Yan said.

Cao Mian said: "My lord, you don't need to ask why. Not everything in this world has a reason. I only know that I want to tear this great world apart again, and I want to get what I deserve."

Xie Yan nodded, "What did Wen Dinghou see this king?"

Cao Mian said: "If I say I hope the lord 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, this king will never let you go."

Cao Mian smiled and said, "Where is Fengling Mountain? The army is stationed here, probably blocked by Fengling Mountain in front? As long as the prince releases me, the soldiers and horses of Fengling Mountain can retreat fifty miles immediately."

Xie Yan stood up and said, "Wen Dinghou might as well wait a little longer."

"Wait until when?"

Xie Yan said: "When I can't beat Fengling Mountain, this bargaining chip is meaningless to me now."

After saying this, Xie Yan ignored Cao Mian and turned to go out.

Cao Mian was the only one left in the tent again, looking at the gently swaying door curtain, Cao Mian frowned and fell into deep thought.

The Qingzhou rebellion and the Gaoyu people's invasion came suddenly, and now Luo Yun stayed in Shangyong, Xie Yan did not bring Wei Changting or Yu Mingqiu and other generals, but only the [-] Zhen Guojun and [-] Wuwei troops stationed in Shangyong.

He also sent Luo Jinxing to lead the Dingguo Army to go north with Gu Jue to meet Gao Yuren.

Of course, Gu Jue is still at sea, and he will come back to meet Luo Jinxing later.

Luo Yun was left behind in Shangyong, Yu Mingqiu, two famous generals, and King An Cheng who was born in the clan can also fight, so that no matter what happens, Shangyong 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 dudes changed out of their brocade clothes, and wore the most common dusty clothes of the lower ranks of the military guards, with a lot of dust on their faces.

Seeing that Luo Junyao and Xu Chengyu were fine, he called his aunt shyly, and Zheng Jingchuan threw himself at Luo Junyao's feet and howled, "Princess! We have finally seen you! Huh...Princess help, we are dying. "

Early in the morning, the ghostly crowing of chickens and cats scared the soldiers passing by not far away, and they all turned their heads to look over, wanting to see what kind of strange road it was.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the beautiful girl in blue, and then they saw Zheng Jingchuan who almost rolled on the ground.

The soldiers of the Zhen Guojun couldn't help rolling their eyes in disgust, and the soldiers of the Wuwei Army just wanted to kick this shameless guy to death.

Xu Chengyu was thin-skinned after all, raised his foot and lightly kicked Zheng Jingchuan and reminded in a low voice: "It's almost there, 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 patted the dust on his body.

"Princess, hehe, it's great to see you!"

"..." Luo Junyao said that she couldn't bear so many strange gazes, and dragged the two of them to a place where there were few people before asking, "Well, what's going on? Why are you here?"

Zheng Jingchuan said aggrievedly: "Didn't the princess let us both hang around with you? As a result, 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 the net. I said you Ill, my grandfather told me not to believe it, so let us come to have a look. What's so good about this girl's disfigurement... Cough cough, I mean the old man is getting old, but he is very annoying. How do you know your grand plan, princess. I and Cheng Yu had no choice but to visit you at the mansion, and then...was arrested by the prince and taken to the army."

Luo Junyao looked at Xu Chengyu, "Chengyu, tell me." Xie Yan wanted to take the two burdens with him when he had nothing to do.

Xu Chengyu rubbed his nose and said, "It was my parents and Cheng Guogong who asked the prince to take us to the battle."

Zheng Jingchuan glared at Xu Chengyu bitterly, Xu Chengyu was helpless.

The regent princess is not only a venerable, but also an elder to him.

What can he do?
Luo Junyao smiled at Zheng Jingchuan, and Zheng Jingchuan was stunned for a moment, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Although he already has a sweetheart, but the little princess is really pretty.

Just as he was thinking wildly, Zheng Jingchuan, who had a sudden pain in his calf and his foot was unstable, had already fallen to the ground.

Luo Jun shook his foot back in disgust, and said, "You still want to go to the battlefield like this? Isn't it a burden?"

"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 blow the pillow wind with the prince and let them go back early.

As if Luo Junyao didn't hear what he said, he stretched out his hand and picked him up from the ground.He reached out and brushed the dust off his shoulders and said: "I understand what you mean, don't worry, Ayan probably has no time to take care of you, I will definitely train you to be qualified soldiers of the military guards who are brave and good at fighting, and I will never let General Xu and Cheng Guo Disappointed."

"..." Where is the military guard so brave and good at fighting?I don't want to be a qualified military guard either.

Zheng Jingchuan wants to cry but has 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 Princess Regent is soft-hearted and will intercede for you?

"Princess, the prince is here to invite you."

"Understood." Luo Jun shook his head to look at the two people behind him, and said, "You two change your clothes and follow me. From today onwards, you will be my bodyguards."

"Yes, Princess!" Zheng Jingchuan instantly felt that he could do it again.

Because they are too delicate, no one has 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 be used to them.

They can't escape the rough work of burying pots for cooking, digging pits and filling soil, feeding horses and carrying them.

After a few days, he was so disgraced and exhausted that he didn't have the slightest feeling of fighting on the battlefield as a Dasheng elite, but rather like a servant who specialized in rough work.

Follow the princess, you don't need to go to the battlefield, and you don't need to do rough work, perfect!
Xu Chengyu looked at Zheng Jingchuan. Contrary to Zheng Jingchuan, he had a bad feeling.

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 Zhen Guojun.

Seeing Mr. Luo coming in, the three of them immediately stood up and saluted, "I've seen the princess."

"You don't need to be too polite." Luo Jun shook his head.

Xie Yan glanced at the two people following Luo Junyao and said, "Why did you bring them here?"

Luo Jun shook his head: "I want them to follow me in the future, do I need them to go out?"

Xie Yan waved his hand and said: "No need, it's not a secret, they know the rules, come here." As a descendant of the Xu family and the Zheng family, he is a rich man, so he 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, so they consciously stood aside.

Xie Yan took Luo Junyao's hand and asked her to stand beside him. Luo Junyao asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Xu Liren smiled and said: "I heard from the lord that the wangfei pacified Yingzhou with less than 3000 troops. I was really curious, so I worked hard for the wangfei. Please forgive me."

Luo Junyao was a little surprised and embarrassed, "It's not my credit. The soldiers and horses are all commanded by General Gu. I don't know how to fight."

"The concubine is too humble." A lieutenant next to him smiled and said, "General Gu sent a letter back earlier and said a lot. Yingzhou should be the first to calm down the concubine so quickly. If it weren't for the situation of the concubine Qingzhou, it would have been more troublesome. "

In other words, do they all know what happened in Yingzhou?
Luo Jun shook his head to look at Xie Yan, Xie Yan smiled and nodded towards her.

Luo Junyao had no choice but to say: "I can only know a few tricks, and I need a few generals to strategize on the battlefield."

The three generals looked at each other, and Xu Liren, who was still the most powerful and lonely, was forced to speak, "That... princess..."

"Huh?" Luo Jun tilted his head slightly, and looked at Xu Liren suspiciously, "General Xu said it directly, and it's all his own people, so there is no need to be polite."

Xu Liren gritted his teeth and said: "I heard from General Gu that the princess can prepare a kind of gunpowder, which is ten times more powerful than ordinary gunpowder. I wonder if the princess can..."

Luo Jun shook a sigh of relief, she thought she wanted to say something.

"That's it?"

Xu Liren said with some embarrassment: "Actually, there are gunpowder and shells in the army, but they are far less powerful than what General Gu said in his letter. This Fengling Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so we thought..."

Luo Junyao thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, it just depends on whether you can prepare all the raw materials."

"Thank you, Princess!" The three generals were overjoyed and thanked in unison.

Luo Jun waved his hand to express that he didn't need to care.

Xie Yan looked at the three generals and said calmly: "You can go out now."

The three of them didn't dawdle, and bowed respectfully to the two of them.

After the three of them got out of the big tent, Luo Junyao asked, "Why do you want General Xu and the others to tell me? You can just ask me."

Xie Yan smiled lightly and said, "We must let them know who helped them and is there any danger? There are experienced craftsmen in the army who specialize in making gunpowder. Let them do it?"

Luo Jun said: "You can let them learn from me, but it's better to let me do it myself now. Don't worry, it's not difficult."

Xie Yan looked down at her, Luo Jun shook his head and looked at him.

"Aren't you going to ask me why I do this?" This time, what I want to configure 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, then raised his hand to rub the top of her head and said, "Be careful, wait until you want to talk."

"En." Luo Junyao nodded emphatically, a pleasant smile appeared on his delicate face.

After finishing the business, Xie Yan looked at Xu Chengyu and Zheng Jingchuan again and frowned.

"Are you sure you want the two of them to follow you?" There was obvious disgust in his tone.

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "What? Can't you? The two of them have nothing serious in the Wuwei Army, so it's just right to follow me."

Xie Yan said: "No, they are too weak."

These two followed Yao Yao, it was hard to say who would protect the other.

It's okay to do some miscellaneous things in Shangyong, but now Qingzhou is not safe, Xie Yan absolutely cannot allow these two to hold back.

Luo Jun smiled and said: "I don't need to charge forward, and I have the power to protect myself. It is enough to throw these two out as shields in danger."

The two reserve shields trembled.

Xie Yan glanced at the two of them, seeing that she had made up her mind, she had no choice but to agree, "Starting tomorrow, I will train with the guard camp every day."

"..." God is going to kill me, the Zhen Guo Army is more terrifying than the Wu Wei Army.

After leaving the big tent, Zheng Jingchuan looked at Luo Junyao quietly, "Princess, do you really want to throw us out as a shield in case of danger?"

Luo Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "Otherwise, is there any other use for you?"

"..." Zheng Jingchuan looked at her resentfully, as if looking at a heartbroken man.

Luo Junyao was also amused by his funny appearance, Zheng Jingchuan is not very useful for other things, but it is still very good for relaxing.

"Okay, don't worry." Luo Jun shook his head and said, "I said that I will turn you into qualified soldiers of the military guards. You will never break your promise and you won't die."

"..." There is no need for that.

Xu Chengyu whispered: "Auntie, did you really bring down the entire Yingzhou with only 2000 people?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "I've said it all, it's General Gu's command of troops, and the actual available strength is not two thousand, but more than twenty thousand."

"That's amazing too." Xu Chengyu said enviously.

My aunt is only 17 years old, so he is a little older in terms of age.

People can travel thousands of miles across the sea to calm the chaos, and he and Zheng Jingchuan are still rough envoys in the army.

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Didn't your parents send you to go out with the army for you to study? Don't worry, A Yan is your uncle, even if I don't tell him, he won't really let the two of you do odd jobs all the time. Don't be afraid to work hard and study hard. , General Xu is also a general with great military exploits, you are his son and you will not be bad."

Xu Chengyu nodded seriously and said, "Yes, Auntie!"

Luo Jun shook his head and said to Zheng Jingchuan: "You are the same, don't let Cheng Guogong down, think about your sister Liu is still waiting for you to go back."

"..." Zheng Jingchuan glared at Xu Chengyu angrily: traitor!
