Chapter 78

The elder brother was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the emperor, and he was appointed as the Imperial Academy to sacrifice wine, presided over the big autumn exam that year, and selected many outstanding talents from it.

I am clearly reborn, but the general trajectory of many things does not seem to have changed much, and I feel a little bit sad when I think about it.

In the blink of an eye, time passes like water, and two years go away quietly in the blink of an eye.

The situation in the court is unpredictable. Back then, Rong Guo withdrew his troops two months after he violated the border. Now the health of the Minister of State is getting worse because of excessive worry.

Lin Shu gave birth to a son at the beginning of last year, named Ling Yunchu.Facing the difficult situation of the heirs of the Ling family, this child has been favored and loved by the queen mother and the emperor since birth. Three months ago, Ling Jiangyu finally got the emperor's grace and formally married her as a legal wife. Now she is a righteous and virtuous princess.

But it is a blessing to have a concubine in Duke Wei's mansion. She was diagnosed as pregnant in October last year, and it has been six months now.It is said that when Wei Guogong was excited, he also asked the Taoist priest for orders, saying that the son in the concubine's womb was reincarnated from heaven, and he would have endless blessings in the future. He would definitely guard the border town like his elder brother and be loyal to the country.

is not that right?Xue Yan, the Marquis of Ningyuan who was the most flamboyant, the most romantic, and the most troublesome in the imperial capital back then, has now become a good subject for storytellers in the teahouses of the Dagan Kingdom, such as three thousand elite soldiers defeating [-] forward soldiers, and surprise attacks from heaven and earth. The enemy's food, grass, etc. were passed on miraculously, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

What the storyteller said was nothing more than a meal, but in the border town it was a serious battle on the battlefield.The stern and resolute man was sitting on the tiger skin, letting the military doctor apply herbal medicine to the arrow wound on his chest, and the dark blood oozes out along with the medicine and slides down his waist.Although his whole body seemed to be torn apart in pain, he made a slight sound.The man's eyes were gloomy. The battle a few days ago was so tragic. If he hadn't been prepared, he would have almost lost his life.What a fierce king of the Rong Kingdom!

"Master Hou." Pianjiang walked in from outside the tent and nodded, his armor was covered with dust.Smelling the unique smell of Broken Dream Grass in his nose, he couldn't help frowning.This kind of herbal medicine has a miraculous effect on arrow wounds. When it is applied, the wound is like a raging fire, which is unbearable for ordinary people.

Xue Yan's thin lips were pale, his eyes were sharp on the person in front of him, his voice was trembling but cold. "how?"

"An exemption card has been hung on the opposite city wall." The lieutenant general looked at him with admiration in his eyes. "The spies in the city reported that Qiong Huoyou left Yuzhou yesterday and disappeared."

Back then, when I was sent to Ning Yuanhou's subordinates as a deputy general, I felt that my fame and achievements in this life were hopeless. Such a well-known dandy in the imperial capital probably used to be a place to play in the border town. If he talked about war, he might be scared to death when he went to the battlefield. Fuck off, be careful to save your life, and when this Lord Hou gets tired of playing, he will naturally return to the imperial capital.Who knew that after the battle with Rong Guo, the Hou Ye's keenness on the battlefield and the degree of recklessness when fighting on the battlefield made them, the generals who were going to watch a joke, amazed.

Now that two years have passed, Lord Hou marched towards Rong Kingdom step by step, and now the border towns of Rong Kingdom, Tongguan, and Linhe County are all under the control of Xue's army, and all the way to Yuzhou, they met the king of Rong Kingdom——Qiong fire unitary.Qionghuoyou's martial arts are excellent, and his archery skills are even more superb. In order to cut off his food and grass, Hou Ye leaked his flaws with deceitful techniques, and he shot him down with his archery skills.Qionghuoyou planned to catch up, and the soldiers of the Qian Kingdom who had already hidden in the bushes rushed forward, intercepted all the grain and grass sent to Yuzhou, and turned around to surround Qionghuoyou, hum!If he hadn't run fast under the protection of the soldiers, how could he have survived.

"Notify the two generals Lin Chuan and Gu Zhun that they will raid Yuzhou tomorrow." Xue Yan sneered and stretched out his arm for the military doctor to bandage himself with a hemostatic cloth.

The lieutenant general hesitated and said: "But that's the free battle card." If the free battle card is hung up, you can't attack. This is an unwritten rule for the two armies to fight.

"If it keeps hanging, Benhou will have to wait forever." He has no patience to wait any longer, now that Qionghuoyou is not in the city, it is a good time for a sneak attack, "Pass on Benhou's order, attack the city at tomorrow's hour, and set Take Yuzhou in one fell swoop! Remember not to hurt the people in the city."

"Yes." The lieutenant-general immediately clapped his hands in response. Hou Ning Yuan mainly took comfort after the siege. Although riots would occasionally occur in the city, he had no intention of massacring the city at all. This was one of the reasons for his admiration. "The general obeys orders!"

After the deputy general left the tent, Xue Yan stroked the jade pendant on his waist, and smiled softly, "I'm not inhuman, right? It's just that soldiers never tire of cheating."

Later, as usual, the letter from Feige from the imperial capital was sent to the border town. There were only a few words in the letter, but it was enough to make Xue Yan smile knowingly.

"Everything is fine with the Princess, and now she has left Cihe Nunnery and returned to King Huo's Mansion."

This sentence seemed to be the most effective painkiller. Xue Yan flattened the sheepskin drawings on the table and drew them with howling wolves, calculating the possible accidents and countermeasures on the battlefield tomorrow.

On the other side, when Su Yan helped Huo Hanyan out of the carriage and stood in front of King Huo's mansion, she was filled with emotions.

"Mother Concubine..." Huo Hanyan stared at Concubine Huo and Liu Yiru, who was waiting for her outside the palace, and Liu Yiru, who was waiting for her outside the palace. In the past two years, she has never left Cihe Nunnery. On the one hand, she is praying for her relatives. Diluted everyone's feelings for her.

Seeing her appearance, Princess Huo hurried forward and held her hand. "What~ but you have been unwell recently?" After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but said with distress: "I told you to go back to the palace earlier. If you want to practice, why is practice different? You have to suffer this crime in that nunnery."

At the beginning, I suggested setting up a Buddhist hall in the palace. If Hanyan wanted to practice, wouldn't it be better to practice in the palace, but Hanyan just didn't want to.Every time I went to Cihe Nunnery to see her dressed as a nun, I felt uncomfortable.But now it's all right, Ling Jiangyu already has a virtuous concubine, and the situation in the court has stabilized, and he and the prince took turns persuading Hanyan for a long time before he persuaded Han Yan to come back.

"Hanyan is fine, mother and concubine don't have to worry." Huo Hanyan responded with a smile. In the past two years, mother and concubine have stayed with him from time to time. Afraid of being lonely.

Concubine Huo caressed her cheek, and finally got over it, and immediately smiled, "Come into the mansion quickly, your father and brother are eagerly looking forward to your return."
