The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 169
Due to something on his mind, at dawn the next day, Shen Haoyue woke up early, but the window was still gray and there was no sign of dawn.

He sat up gently, although he tried his best to cover up the sound, but finally Ning Yan woke up.

Drowsy, Ning Ningyan said softly, "What's the matter, Haoyue, are you leaving so early?"

Suddenly, a trace of reluctance flashed across Shen Haoyue's heart. After all, he was going to destroy the father of the beloved woman in front of him...

"En." Shen Haoyue felt a congestion in his throat, and responded softly.

"Ning Yan, wait for me, I'll be back soon." Shen Haoyue leaned down, and left a light kiss on Ning Yan's forehead.

"Well, let's go, don't waste the time." Ning Yan wanted to get up to see her off, but Shen Haoyue gently pressed her shoulders.

"You don't need to get up, it's still early, let's sleep more." After that, he covered Ning Yan with the quilt again.

Seeing Shen Haoyue's leaving figure, Ning Ningyan felt a little entanglement in her heart, and she didn't know why...

When she woke up again, the sky was already bright, Ning Ningyan got out of bed and stretched herself.The luggage that Shen Haoyue packed last night has disappeared, it is estimated that Shen Haoyue is already on the way at this moment.

……

When the neatly dressed Shen Haoyue came to the Dianjun Field in the west of the city, Nangong Jin in military uniform was already waiting here.

I saw Nangong Jin with a silver helmet and a silver armor and plain robe, with his hands folded over his shoulders, standing in front of the big tent, holding the commander-in-chief flag in his arms.

"Marshal, I hope Haoyue will forgive me for being late." Shen Haoyue cupped his fists respectfully.

Under the silver helmet, Nangong Jin's face was as cold as frost, and he nodded.

"Deputy Commander, don't be too polite. The army has already assembled, and I'm waiting for you." Nangong Jin said, then turned and walked into the big tent. His figure was domineering, with the demeanor of a general.

Shen Haoyue stabilized the long sword in his waist, and then walked into the big tent.

In the tent, the generals of each battalion had already assembled. When they saw Nangong Jin approaching, they stood up with a bang and clasped their fists as a signal.Nangong Jin went straight to the handsome table as if entering a land of no one, shook her brocade robe, and sat down, while Shen Haoyue sat on a chair next to her.

Nangong Jin looked around, all the generals had arrived, he waved his flag lightly, and said loudly: "All generals obey orders!"

"Yes!" The generals replied in unison.

"Under the order of the emperor of the current dynasty, this commander-in-chief and General Changning led [-] soldiers to Linglong Mountain to suppress the bandits. The bandits in Linglong Mountain were so rampant that they openly planted flags to rebel and compete with me in the Fengnan Dynasty. Heaven and earth will not tolerate it! Today we I want to do justice for the heavens and get rid of bandits and Anbang!" Nangong Jin mobilized impassionedly, and the generals below were all gearing up.

"Listen to the orders, all the generals! The army will start immediately, without any mistakes! All the generals will form the army, and leave the camp after three gunshots!" Nangong Jin held up the military talisman and gave the order to march.

"The last general obeys orders!" Hearing this, the generals left the commander's account one by one.

Three shocking gunshots rang out, the gate opened, and the vanguard's [-] cavalry led the way, and the mighty [-] army set off...

Nangong Jin and Shen Haoyue sat high on their horses and led the team first. Nangong Jin hung a sword at his waist, and on one side of the saddle hung a golden backed mountain-cutting knife, while Shen Haoyue beside him hung a long bright silver gun.

The two are like gods in silver armor, mighty and unrestrained, domineering and awe-inspiring.And at the end of the road, what awaits them is a cruel battlefield, endless killings...

There were [-] people, boundless, and the long army was sparsely separated from the line that was several miles long. Looking from a distance, it looked like an evil dragon or a silver snake.

The military order was very strict. During the march, no one whispered to each other. They just walked in silence, and all they could hear was the sound of mail armor and the collision of long and short weapons.

Shen Haoyue sat on the horseback, glanced lightly at Nangong Jin from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking under his stern face, but when he regained his thoughts, he thought of Ning Yan who was in the general's mansion at the moment.

……

More than a dozen well-armed elite guards quietly came to General Changning's mansion, and according to Shen Haoyue's instructions in advance, they closed all the entrances and exits and guarded them carefully.

These people are all members of Shen Haoyue's direct line of troops, they are raised in Shen Haoyue's barracks on weekdays, and all of them have received his strict training for many years.

Just last night, Chen Haoyue gathered these people together in the army, and told them that starting tomorrow, they will be stationed at the General's Mansion day and night, with the focus on protecting Ning Yan, but Shen Haoyue did not tell Ning Yan about all this, it was all done in secret Schedule and deploy.

It's protection, maybe it can also be called surveillance...

However, Ning Ningyan was unaware of all this, and her energy was still devoted to studying that wonderful book "Xuanzhi Sutra".

At this moment, she is sitting upright in the room, trying to regulate the breath in her body, her normally jade-like face turns rosy at this moment, and she can feel a heat gradually generated in her body...

Suddenly, this feeling disappeared, and the body returned to its normal appearance.

Ning Yan opened her eyes and sighed softly.

"It seems that it will take some time for this internal strength to recover..." She was talking to herself, unable to hide the trace of helplessness in her heart.

After a short pause, Ning Yan gradually calmed down, closed her eyes gently, and continued to adjust the breath in her body according to the book again.

Although there has been basically no change these days, Ning Yan decided to persevere, secretly looking forward to the day when a miracle will happen.

In the inner palace of the imperial palace, there was a luxurious atmosphere. When the emperor Nan Gonghuan and the empress dowager Gongsun sat next to a huge round table, the table was filled with delicacies, such as animals in the mountains, swallows in the clouds, cattle on the land, etc. There are all kinds of sheep and sea seafood.

The queen mother is dressed in elegant and luxurious clothes, wearing a pure gold phoenix crown on her head, and the brocade robe on her body is trimmed with gold and silver thread, smooth and winding, dazzling and charming.

The new little eunuch who was serving by his side peeked at the food on the table from time to time, swallowing quietly.

"Mother, how are these days?" Nangong Huan said respectfully, and at the same time picked up a prawn and put it in Gongsun's bowl.

Although there were some wrinkles on Gongsun's face, it didn't look old at all. On the contrary, it only gave people a feeling of rich experience. She smiled lightly.

"It's very good. In the past few days, I have brought a rare thing for tribute from outside the Great Wall. There is a monkey who can play the flute and flute. When I have nothing to do during the day, I will make fun of this animal in the palace." Gongsun said, Put the prawns into his mouth and savor them carefully.

"Hehe, it seems that the queen mother is quite happy." Nangong Jin agreed, pointing to a plate on the other side of the table, and the little eunuch hurriedly bowed and brought the plate to Nangong Huan.

"By the way, Huang Er, I heard that someone rebelled these days? Is there such a thing?" Gongsun said, gradually put down the chopsticks in his hand, and fixed his eyes on Nangong Huan.

Nangong Huan raised her eyebrows slightly, and then smiled gracefully.

"Hehe, it seems that the Queen Mother's news is indeed well-informed, and outside news can be heard in this deep palace."

Gongsun didn't care about Nangong Huan's ridicule, and continued to ask, "Huanger, tell me, is there such a thing?"

Nangonghuan didn't intend to hide it either, and nodded, "Actually, I should have told my queen mother about this, but I think it's just a feather, and it's not worth alarming your old man."

Gongsun was also a little displeased when he heard this, "Huanger, where did you say that? How could someone rebel against such a big matter, how could you say it so simply? Hey, it seems that you have a character that doesn't care about everything. It’s definitely going to change.”

Under the Queen Mother's repeated questioning, Nangong Huan finally told about the rebellion in Linglong Pavilion, and Gongsun's face changed drastically after hearing this.

"Tricksters, tricksters! You are so lawless, then, emperor, what action can you take?" The Queen Mother's slight anger didn't seem to affect Nangong Huan, he looked happy and ate by himself.

"Mother, don't worry, my son has already sent his younger brother Nan Gongjin and General Changning Shen Haoyue to lead an armored army of [-] people to suppress the bandits. I believe that with the strength of the two of them, we can surely clear that little Linglong Mountain." After Nangonghuan finished speaking, she randomly picked up delicacies from the dishes, not noticing the changes in Gongsun's family after hearing the name Nangongjin.

"Huang'er, it's fine if you ask General Changning to go, why do you take Jin'er with you..." The queen mother said softly.On the surface, it seemed that she was worried about Nangong Jin, but only she knew what she really thought.

Nangonghuan seemed to be careless, but she knew what Gongsun said.

Nangonghuan took the brocade handkerchief beside her, and gently wiped her mouth.

"Mother, it's all for you to live in this harem and enjoy the happiness. You chat with the maids in the palace on weekdays, and play with that monkey who can play the flute. That's all. No matter how tired you are from caring about these chores, you are still clean." Some are good, hehe!"

As Nan Gonghuan's mother, Gongsun knew what kind of temper he had, so she just sighed lightly and didn't say anything more.

Nangong Huan stood up and saluted Gongsun, "Queen Mother, I have eaten enough, so I will visit my queen some other day when I am free."

Gongsun nodded, but did not get up.

Surrounded by Gong'e Cainu and eunuchs, Nan Gonghuan left the harem.

Walking on the narrow road back to Jingyang Palace, Nangong Jin remained silent, and gradually changed his face. He no longer had the leisurely and free and easy way when he was eating just now, and his eyes were once again occupied by sinister and evil eyes.

……

The army that went to Linglong Mountain to conquer the bandits has been out for a whole day, and it has been a few hours, and they haven't rested yet.This was Nangong Jin's order, ordering the army to travel day and night without stopping, and to arrive at Linglong Mountain earlier.

The sky gradually darkened. At this time, the army passed by a plain, and the keen Nangong Jin found that the speed of the army had slowed down significantly.
