Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 206
Xie Yanniang looked at him and said firmly: "Even so, my lord is still my husband."

Even with hideous scars all over his face, Ruan Jingxin is still her husband.

Originally it was just a joke, but Ruan Jingxin couldn't help being moved when he heard Xie Yanniang's serious answer.

He raised his hand and slowly held the mask before taking it off.

Xie Yanniang held her breath, the regent's face had never been seen before, it should be said that the one he had seen before had already passed away and was buried in the border town.

Many people in Beijing speculated that the regent must have hurt his face on the battlefield, and that's why he showed others with a mask all day long.

She stared closely at that hand, slowly moved up from her thin lips, and saw the high bridge of her nose, and then...

Suddenly there was a hasty knock on the door, Xie Yanniang was startled.

Ruan Jingxin quickly tore off the gauze curtain to block her figure, and then got up to open the door.

Kang Yunzhang's voice came from outside the door: "Your Excellency, the Emperor is pleased. The battle report from the front line shows that the [-] troops of the Rong tribe are overwhelming—"

When Xie Yanniang heard this, she was so startled that she was about to jump up.

The Rong tribe... finally came!
The [-] army was exactly the same as back then, and her worried eyes fell on Ruan Jingxin's back.

This time, can the regent come back alive?
Sensing her gaze, Ruan Jingxin frowned tightly.

He has been sending people on the front line to watch the actions of the Rong people. Why is he the last one to hear the news when the [-] troops are pressing down on the border: "Where are the sentries? How come no one comes to report?"

Kang Yunzhang's complexion was extremely bad, and he also thought of this: "My subordinate, Fei Ge, has just received the news. All the sentries in the border town have been transferred away. Those left behind are not the Li family army, but the emperor's personal soldiers."

Otherwise, the emperor could not have received the news so quickly!
Ruan Jingxin's face was sullen, knowing that the young emperor was trying to weaken his control over the border town without a trace, and he was afraid that his prestige would be too great and his achievements would be higher than the master's.

He glanced inside again, and ordered in a low voice: "Prepare the horse, I will enter the palace right away."

Ruan Jingxin only had time to come in and put on his robe, Xie Yanniang's eyes were red, suddenly she was afraid that he would just leave like this and never return.

"Sorry, I can't stay with you tonight." Ruan Jingxin put his arms around her shoulders, thinking that Xie Yanniang's once-in-a-lifetime bridal chamber wedding night was ruined and sad.

"Shi Da's weapon is only half-made, my lord, don't be in a hurry to go out, the horse is not ready yet, there is no need to risk your life." Xie Yanniang buried her face in his shoulder and said softly with two voices.

Ruan Jingxin was taken aback, but she didn't expect that what she was worried about was not the wedding night, but the expedition.

Holding her shoulders and forcing Xie Yanniang to look up at him, Ruan Jingxin sighed: "No matter what the princess sees, this time the Rong people violated the border, I must not stay out of it."

Xie Yanniang pursed her lips, and wrapped her arms around his waist: "May my husband win the flag, and I will wait here for your return."

The implication is, has she ever seen that she didn't come back?

Ruan Jingxin looked deeply at Xie Yanniang, lowered his head and placed a soft kiss on her forehead: "Wait for me."

After that, he turned and opened the door and left.

Turning on the horse, Ruan Jingxin looked towards the bright courtyard not far away, whipped the horse, and the horse galloped away.

Seeing his gloomy face, Kang Yunzhang knew that no matter who it was, it would not be too pleasant to be interrupted on the wedding night.

The Rong people didn't come early or late, but they chose this time.

The young emperor deliberately concealed it, but now that he found out the truth, he couldn't help being dazed, and the palace was locked at night, but he made an exception and hurriedly called the regent to the palace to discuss the war.

When he was free, he found faults in private, wishing to get rid of Ruan Jingxin's thorn in his side.

Waiting for something to happen, but can't wait to let the regent work for him!

Kang Yunzhang showed a mocking smile. The regent is also a human being, not a god, so it is impossible for him to be without temper.

In the past, Ruan Jingxin might have been courteous to the young emperor, but after all, he was a little yellow-haired boy.It's just that after returning, the young emperor listened to the assistant minister's words and pressed him step by step, which was really chilling. Whether the regent will obey his words is another matter.

Ruan Jingxin rushed to the palace, the palace door was wide open, the young emperor's confidant, the steward, had been waiting for a long time, and personally welcomed the two of them in.

When the young emperor saw Ruan Jingxin still wearing bright red clothes, he couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

It was obviously the regent's wedding night, yet he interrupted others and hastily called Ruan Jingxin into the palace, which was really not very kind.

Now that the young emperor still needs him to resist the invasion of the Rong tribe, he naturally apologized and said with a smile: "The prince regent is getting married, and I have prepared a small gift as a token of my heart. Please forgive me, the prince regent."

Ruan Jingxin nodded slightly, and said: "The [-] troops of the Rong tribe arrived at the border city without a sound, which is also unexpected. The emperor does not need to blame himself."

As for the wedding gift, the emperor might as well leave it to the military.

"

Standing at the bottom, Mr. Zhang frowned, and said displeasedly: "What does the regent mean by this? Are you accusing the emperor of reducing the military pay?"

Ruan Jingxin glanced at him, and slowly said: "In a peaceful and prosperous world, it is only natural to reduce the military pay. It's just that the Rong clan has not been wiped out, and the military pay is not enough now. Even if I sell the remaining Zhuangzi in my hand, it is not enough to take the palace with me. .”

This made the young emperor's face burn, and he hurriedly said: "How can the regent sell the palace and spread it out? I will discuss the military salary with the ministers and allocate it as soon as possible. I also ask the regent to prepare and lead the army to go out."

Hearing this, Ruan Jingxin shook his head and said: "Chen's old wounds haven't healed since the last battle, and I'm afraid he won't be able to lead the army. There are a lot of talents in the Qing Dynasty. I heard that even the eldest son of the lord is also excellent in martial arts. The third son of the lord Fu is familiar with the art of war. Big Ren."

Master Lian and Master Fu immediately broke out in cold sweat when they heard this.

No matter how powerful the martial arts are, if you are following a master, let alone killing people, you have never even killed a chicken. When you go to the battlefield, you will only be scared and your legs will go weak.Familiarity with the art of war is just talking on paper. If you lose a big battle against Zhan Rong, not only one person will die, but the whole family will be dragged down!

Master Lian quickly knelt down and said to the young emperor: "The dog only knows how to punch and embroider legs, but it's just for strengthening the body, and I really can't do it."

Master Fu hastily echoed: "The third son of this humble official likes to read military books in his spare time, and it's also to pass the time. How can he be called a great job, the regent praises him so much."

The young emperor felt annoyed when he heard that, the regent was unwilling to go to war, but the other two ministers tried to shirk again and again, for fear of pushing the burden on their son.

It is a great honor to go out to fight for the Qing Dynasty, how can you push it back and forth?
He glanced at the manager next to him, and the latter said knowingly: "The two adults are humble, and the villain has also heard a little about the names of the two young masters, and some people jokingly call them the four young masters of the Qing Kingdom."

"It's all installed randomly by others, how can you have this ability?" Lian Daren wiped his sweat frequently, Fu Dafa noticed something, frowned but didn't make a sound.

The young emperor turned to the regent, and said quietly: "Originally, Aiqing's old wounds have not healed, so it should not be difficult for others. Unfortunately, the national disaster is imminent, and the Rong people are coming. It is difficult for anyone else to take on this role except Aiqing. It happened that Aiqing mentioned two rising stars, Let the two of them follow Aiqing to the battle, firstly, if they have successors, they can also share some of the burden for Aiqing. Secondly, let the young masters in Beijing go to the battlefield to experience it, and give them a chance to become famous."

"Your Majesty is wise, but this subject will be disrespectful." Ruan Jingxin readily agreed without waiting for the other two adults to speak.

Even the lord stared in disbelief, and the lord Fu sighed secretly, knowing that he couldn't escape, so he had no choice but to accept the order.

The young emperor waved his hand wearily, looked at Master Zhang again, and asked, "I heard that Aiqing's daughter is twelve years old and can write well? It just so happened that the Empress Dowager recently fell in love with Buddhist scriptures and asked Zhang Aiqing's daughter to come to the palace. Accompany her old man."

Mr. Zhang couldn't say "no", even if this daughter is his old man, he holds it in the palm of his hand and cherishes it like an eyeball, but now he can only let her enter the palace to serve the empress dowager.

"The Prince Regent is ready to go in three days, I look forward to your victory!" The young emperor took the wine cup handed over by the steward and raised his small hand.

Ruan Jingxin also picked up the wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile, "I accept the emperor's precious words."

He turned to Lord Lian and Lord Fu again, filled up the wine and toasted again: "In the future, the two young masters will go out together, so they should take care of each other."

"Don't dare, don't dare." The two adults could only swallow the bitterness into their stomachs, forced a smile and drank the wine, but they couldn't appreciate the fine wine at all.

After returning to the mansion, when the two young masters heard that they were going to go out with the regent, their eyes turned dark and they almost fainted.

The two wives of Lian Fu and Fu Fu heard this, one fainted directly, and the other burst into tears.

"What kind of evil did you do? Why did you tell me to die? What kind of place is that? It's not just for fun. The people of the Rong tribe are tall and powerful. I don't know how many people died in the army of the Li family. They couldn't stop them. If my son, who has no strength to restrain a chicken, goes to the battlefield, isn't that life-threatening?"

"Shut up!" Mrs. Fu rubbed his forehead, and was even more disturbed by this woman's crying: "What nonsense, do you dare to say in front of the regent, you just go to die, don't drag my third son , can you speak?"

Mrs. Fu choked immediately, dared to choke like this, the regent didn't say anything, just the two generals around her could chop her up with a knife: "But, are you going to watch my son go out with the army like this and never come back again?" Is it? He just got selected as a scholar, and I'm still waiting for him to be selected, so that the family will produce a master..."

"The emperor has made a decree, and no one can change it." Master Fu sighed. His only comfort was that there were three sons in the family, and the eldest and second sons were both promising. It's not a loss to give up the third son in exchange for holy favor: " Even my lord has only one eldest son, and he was opened by the emperor to go to war, if you think about it this way, you will understand how lucky we are."

Madam Fu couldn't help but sighed, Madam Lian was afraid that she might cry to death, so she couldn't help empathizing with her, and couldn't help sobbing.

"Don't cry, let the third son clean up, and you have to leave the day after tomorrow, otherwise it will be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, and the whole Fu family will be buried with him!" Master Fu stared at his wife, for fear that she would say goodbye. It's not just a son who will die, but the whole family.
