Empress Lin Ance

Chapter 77.

**
Xia Houling was distracted, but Chu Qingyan got the upper hand. She flicked her black hair and flicked her long sword out!
She flew away and retreated ten steps away, so she was not affected by the black silk chop.

"General Xiahou, accept it."

Chu Qingyan cupped her hands and stood up with a smile on her face, and she was not at all embarrassed when facing Xia Houling.

Xia Houling shook her head in a little surprise. She stepped closer and lifted the sword up, and put her backhand on the weapon rack.

"I have been guarding the border all year round, but I have also heard that Princess Lin'an came to the world to make a sword famous. I thought that your strongest skill is swordsmanship, but I don't think that your best skill is whipping!"

And that thin silk thread is much more difficult to control than a whip.

She probably has an understanding of Chu Qingyan's strength.

"General Xiahou is overrated. If the general hadn't been distracted just now, Lin'an would never have won." Chu Qingyan smiled, and was noncommittal about Xia Houling's opinion that she was the best at whipping.

"You're really polite." Xia Houling's mouth twitched, accepting her modesty.

Xia Houling didn't intend to take her back to the main hall either, so the two went directly to the stone table under the martial arts field and sat down. There was ready-made tea on it, and there were no servants here. Give her a glass.

"Tell me, Princess Lin'an has come to look for me, but what kind of conspiracy is there to play?"

"Cough cough!" Chu Qingyan almost choked her throat with a sip of tea, she looked at Xia Houling opposite with some horror, "Why would the general say that?"

This Xia Houling is also courageous enough, if a normal person dares to say such a thing, shouldn't he be punished once or twice?
Xia Houling raised his eyelids and glanced at her, raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp, then wiped his mouth.

"You Chu family are full of twists and turns. I can't be careless."

"..."

Chu Qingyan took a sip of water tactically.

She was wrong, she used to think that the father lacked benevolence and was self-willed, but General Xiahou has not been executed by the whole family... It is enough to show that the father should be full of benevolence and righteousness.

"Father is indeed a bit more careful...cough, the general misunderstood, Lin'an came here this time to ask for something."

"Princess Lin'an is very resourceful and capable. I'd like to hear, where can I find a lunatic like me?" Xia Houling took Pei Huaizhi's scolding of her as self-defense.

Chu Qingyan shook her head, "The general has made outstanding achievements, so there is no need to listen to Mr. Pei's words, but since Mr. Pei was mentioned, Lin'an just said that I came here because of him."

"Pei Huaizhi?"

The corners of Xia Houling's eyes twitched, obviously interested in what she said.

Chu Qingyan nodded, "Compared to military generals, civil servants are indeed stronger, but with the general back, everything will be different in the future."

"Master Pei has always formed cliques in the court, and one person dominates. I would like to ask the general to restrain him."

She wanted to return to the grassland, and when she returned to Chang'an, Pei Huaizhi would be released immediately, and it was only a matter of time before the official returned to her original post.

And she... To be honest, she didn't want to get involved in this officialdom.

So she had to find someone to restrain him, lest Pei Huaizhi's wolf ambition grow again.

"Hahaha!"

"So you don't like that old man!"

What she didn't expect was that Xia Houling laughed heartily, but the next moment, she restrained her smile and fixed her eyes on Chu Qingyan, "There are so many generals in the court, why do you let me restrain you?"

"Don't say it's because of trust. Your Chu family is the best at this. You can just draw a big cake and praise a few words, and let people treat you like cows and horses."

Chu Qingyan was really ashamed, she really wanted to say that just now...

"Because I know that the general doesn't like him either."

It was said that Xia Houling only fixed her for a moment. Xia Houling has a strong figure, and his facial features are softer because of the flesh on his face, but his eyes are piercing.

Chu Qingyan was a little hairy from being stared at.

"Okay, this reason is barely enough for you. Princess Lin'an, please come back if you have nothing to do. There is no food in my house."

Xia Houling got up, ready to drive away without any politeness.

Chu Qingyan got up and saluted her, Xia Houling waved his hand, almost rolled his eyes at her sour look.

"Thank you General."

She breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye and left.

Xia Houling was almost more difficult to deal with than she imagined. Fortunately, the queen mother did not trust the wrong person back then. This female general is trustworthy.

After she left, Xia Houling folded her arms and stared at the direction Chu Qingyan left with a serious face.

"It seems like it's time for this Dasheng girl to rise up."

Princess Lin'an dared to be the first to propose a trade strategy; and when the border was in chaos, she extinguished the fire of the grassland people with a letter of solution. She had heard of all these deeds.

Courageous and resourceful, both civil and military, but neither arrogant nor impetuous, not lacking in courtesy and humility...

This Chu family has given birth to a good daughter.

……

……

Ten days later, the grassland.

After nearly a month of going back and forth, Chu Qingyan finally stepped into this grassland again.

"Ah!"

Yan Xiaoxuan wrapped his clothes tightly around his body, sniffed, "Princess, we didn't come at the right time, the winter in the grassland is very cold, but we didn't bring many winter clothes."

It was already November at the end of the year, and Chu Qingyan also felt the cold wind whizzing by from the north of the Saibei, and her white breath was in the air.

"Persist for a while, and you will reach the big tent in half a day, and you will be left to keep warm."

The two had no choice but to step up their horsepower and continue on their way.

……

At this moment, Ye Hu's big tent.

"What should I do, tell Ah Qing not to come back now, is there still time?"

Mu Dan threw off Wang Ting's spies, entered the big tent and walked towards the stove, and saw that Huyan Xingchi was writing something.

Huyan Xingchi didn't speak.

Mu Dan couldn't help cursing: "This old thief Qi Rong actually suspects that Ah Qing is a traitor, and even asked Khan to send someone to arrest him. Even if we send a letter now, we don't know where to send it."

"Are you so sure that Ah Qing is not a traitor?"

Huyan Xingchi looked up, suddenly got up and walked over, picked up the tongs and added a few pieces of carbon to the furnace.

"That's natural. Ah Qing has been with us through life and death, and has saved you several times. How could he be a traitor!"

Mu Dan rubbed his hands and continued: "But now I doubt whether Ah Qing will come back after being away from the grassland for so long..."

"You said, he won't come back?"

Hearing this, Huyan Xingchi's expression was complicated, and he couldn't help but think of what Yan Qing said to him that night.

He admitted that he came to the grassland with hostility, but he finally let him go, and he did have a little luck.

If Yan Qing could really stop the fighting, his Sirian Wolf Division would be able to breathe and not have to kill in this winter.

But it was just a fluke at the time, he didn't expect that it might really be Yan Qing who did all of this.
