Lord, I have

Chapter 218 Expedition 2
Mu Changhuan narrowed his eyes when he saw Emperor Tan's hands faltering while flipping through the portraits.

"Chang Huan, stay with these two beautiful girls." Emperor Tan pulled out the two portraits.

Mu Changhuan glanced at the two people placed by the owner of Youran Valley, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, "I obey the order."

"Is there any result of what I asked you to investigate? Is Dongfang Ji related to me by blood?"

Among Emperor Tan's many sons, no one is more like him than Dongfang Ji. If it is said that Dongfang Ji has nothing to do with him, he will not believe it.

"I came this time to tell the emperor about it. Does the emperor still remember Su Cairen who disappeared in the palace 21 years ago?"

Emperor Tan thought for a long time and indeed remembered that there was such a woman. After he was drunk, he randomly grabbed a little maid and made a fuss all night, and then asked someone to seal the maid as a talented person. Later, when there were too many women around him, he forgot about it. There is another person.

If Mu Changhuan didn't tell him, he wouldn't even remember that Su Cairen was not in the palace long ago.

Thinking about it now, he couldn't remember what Su Cairen looked like, and he didn't have any impression of that woman in his mind.

"Su Cairen became pregnant not long after she got the favor. Someone in the palace was afraid that she would give birth to a prince and the mother would poison her. When I went to the wilderness, I was drenched by a heavy rain and woke up."

Mu Changhuan frowned, "A businessman surnamed Dongfang passed by and rescued her and took her to Yongle County."

Emperor Tan's eyes widened, "You mean Dongfang Ji was born by Su Cairen? He is my son?"

"I asked someone to go to General Zhenbei's hometown to search his old house several times inside and out. After digging three feet, I found a secret cabinet in the study of General Zhenbei's adoptive father. There were more than a dozen books of his adoptive father inside. Handwritten notebooks recording daily life, and things from his mother."

Mu Changhuan took out a jade pendant with a dragon pattern from his bosom and handed it to Emperor Tan.

Emperor Tan narrowed his eyes after receiving it, "It's mine. I should have given it to Su Cairen when I was drunk that day. I forgot about it later."

Holding the jade pendant, Emperor Tan was very excited. Dongfang Ji turned out to be his own flesh and blood, and he is still so outstanding.

"What does the emperor want to do?"

"I want to crown him king." Emperor Tan immediately wanted to draw up an imperial decree.

"Although General Zhenbei has made great achievements in battle, but when he first returned to Ling'an City, he was not granted the title of emperor. Now that he has no achievements, he hastily granted the title of king. I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the princes."

Emperor Tan frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Ming Kingdom and Yuan Kingdom around Yu Kingdom have always been eyeing them. Because of the barrier of Yu Kingdom, they have long wanted to join forces to destroy Yu and harm Jin. Recently, those two countries have been causing troubles at Anjiang Pass. Why not take the opportunity to let Zhenbei The general sent troops to destroy them, so that no one would dare to question him if he was crowned king again."

After hearing Mu Changhuan's words, Emperor Tan felt that it made sense. He had long thought of annihilating the Yuan Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom and then becoming a subsidiary state of the Jin Kingdom.

"I will issue an imperial decree for General Zhenbei to lead troops to Anjiang Pass."

"General Zhenbei will be very grateful to the emperor for giving him this opportunity." Mu Changhuan smiled evilly.

To deal with a rival in love so easily, he was simply witty not to.

The next day when Dongfang Ji went to court, he received the imperial decree to go to Anjiang Pass. Although he was a little surprised, he still accepted the decree happily. The deputy general Jiao He and Yun Zuo beside him were all gearing up. With long hair, teaching riding and archery in the academy can no longer be boring.

Dongfang Ji rode a horse to the outskirts of the city. Since Ling Shengge moved out, he wanted to come and see her, but Ling Tao declined him a few times before he gave up.

Now that he was leaving Ling'an City, he planned to see her again before leaving.

Ling Shengge knew that Dongfang Ji was coming and closed the door of her mother's room before coming out to see him.

Dongfang Ji, who was dressed in black clothes, was a little thinner than before. When he saw her, Dongfang Ji walked over.

"Sheng'er, I will lead my troops to Anjiang Pass in three days. Don't know how long it will be before we see you again."

A year or two is short for a war like this, but if it is a protracted war, it can last five or ten years.What he set for himself was to recover those two countries within a year at most.

"Brother Ji, you have to take care of your body and be safe." Ling Shengge actually hated him, even if he was regarded as an older brother and a younger sister, he didn't want his brother to go to the battlefield to take risks.

But I can't bear to do anything, the emperor's order must not be violated.

"Sheng'er, after I leave, you have to take good care of yourself, and when you meet someone you like... cherish it." Dongfang Ji actually wanted Ling Shengge to give him a chance, but the words changed as soon as he spoke.

Since she treats him like an older brother, don't make trouble for her. If the brother-sister relationship can make her miss him for the rest of her life, then he will be her older brother in the future!
Ling Shengge was a little moved, but she was moved but she couldn't promise him anything.

"Brother Ji, if you meet a girl who treats you well and you also like over there, don't let it go."

The corner of Dongfang Ji's mouth twitched, and he wanted to laugh but couldn't, "Okay."

"Brother Ji, I'll see you off on the day you set off."

"Well, I'll wait for you. Sheng'er, I'm going back first, and I have to visit the army."

Ling Shengge watched Dongfang Ji gallop away on his white Yue Jueying, she leaned against the door and couldn't tell what was in her heart.

"Miss, if you don't want to part with the general, tell him!" Ling Dang came over at some unknown time, and when she saw Ling Shengge's absent-minded look, her expression was full of hatred.

"I don't want to part with him, and I worry that he will be in danger during the war. Sigh!"

"If miss likes the general, why doesn't she agree to marry him?"

"This kind of love is different from the kind of love that I want to marry him and join hands for a lifetime. At first I was confused and even thought that marrying him was a very beneficial thing for me. But later I found that I was too selfish and I couldn't give I came to love him with all my heart, but inadvertently got all his affection. Bell, I can’t be selfish any longer. Instead of making him sad at the end, it’s better to tell him as soon as possible so that he can get in touch with more girls and find his own happiness. .”

Bell's eye circles were red, "Miss, the slave girl you mentioned wants to cry, and the servant thinks that the general and you are great."

Ling Shengge stretched out his hand to hold the bell, "There are so many great people in this world that you haven't seen before. Let's go see him off together before he leaves."

Three days later, General Zhenbei took [-] elite soldiers to Anjiang Pass to join the army stationed at Anjiang Pass. Dongfang Jiyin armor and silver helmet riding a white horse stood out among the soldiers.

Emperor Tan led all the civil and military officials to stand on the city wall to send General Zhenbei and his party out of the city. Looking at the Eastern Ji Tan Emperor riding a horse, his heart was agitated.

That was his son, not only better than the crown prince and all the princes, but also the one most like him among all the sons.

Dongfang Ji didn't know why Emperor Tan looked at him so eagerly, he clasped his fists and led the army out of the city slowly.

At this moment, he felt a little disappointed that Ling Shengge didn't show up.

After leaving the city, there were still many people seeing off on both sides of the road, and Dongfang's mood was dull and his eyes were gloomy.

"Brother Ji! I'm here!" A soft voice came from the surrounding noise, although it was quickly covered by the sound of horseshoes and footsteps, Dongfang Ji still heard it.

Dongfang Ji squeezed through the crowd on horseback, seeing Ling Shengge wearing a veil and being blocked by the people around him, he bent down and stretched out his arms to hug her onto the horse's back.

Citizen A: Look, look, General Zhenbei immediately got a girl!
Citizen B: Look at which family's lady that dress looks like!
Citizen C: Oh, it can't be the fourth lady of Dingyuan Houfu, the most beautiful and talented woman in our Jin country?

Commoner Ding: It’s possible, it’s possible, haven’t you heard that there’s a general who must be married to her? Couldn’t that general be our Zhenbei general?
The chattering voices of the surrounding people reached Ling Shengge's ears, and she twitched her cheeks in embarrassment.

"Brother Ji, don't listen to their nonsense."

Dongfang Ji showed a smile when he saw Ling Shengge. His smile melted the iceberg, and the people around him screamed and shouted, as if they wanted to give birth to monkeys for the general.

"They didn't talk nonsense. There is a general who insists on you not to marry." He left immediately, and he didn't know if he would come back safely after leaving. He had to tell her what was in his heart.

Ling Shengge looked up at him, "I'm very glad that the general likes me, in fact, I hope he can look at other girls more and find his happiness."

The smile on Dongfang Ji's face slowly froze, "Okay, he will listen to you and try."

Ling Shengge took out an ugly sachet with some ugly seams, "I've embroidered this at home for the past three days, you won't be able to tell that it has the word "Fu" on it."

Dongfang Ji glanced at it after receiving it, "It's very beautiful, I can see the word blessing."

Seeing that he didn't dislike it, Ling Shengge smiled with relief, "It's embarrassing to my mother to embroider so ugly, her craftsmanship is really good."

"It's not ugly, it's more beautiful than flowers in my eyes." Dongfang Ji put away the sachet, "If you are not married when I come back, can you marry me?"

Ling Shengge was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Dongfang Ji's expectant eyes, she sighed.

What about looking at other girls more?Didn't you just say you would try it?
"What if I get married?"

Dongfang Ji was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "I will bless you for finding someone you like."

"Brother Ji, have a good trip." Ling Shengge's nose was a little sore.

"Well, you have to take care too." Dongfang Ji saw Xiaoyue and Lingdang waving not far away, and he sent Ling Shengge over on horseback.

Standing under the horse, Ling Shengge's eyes turned red, "Take care!"

"Well, I'm leaving!" Dongfang Ji smiled at her and rode away.

Looking at Dongfang Ji's back, Ling Shengge's eyes were a little blurred, why did he feel so uncomfortable!
Dongfang Ji left with [-] elite soldiers, and Ling Shengge was unhappy when he returned to the house.

Yu Zizhen was a little worried when she saw that Ling Shengge didn't even eat dinner, so she came here to talk to her daughter, Ling Shengge couldn't help but tell her mother what was on her mind.
