phoenix jiuxiao

Chapter 121

Su Hailing and Haoyue sneaked back to Zichen Palace, changed their clothes, and before they reached the main hall, they heard Mu Qingchen's decisive voice: "She does not belong to this palace alone, but she will definitely not belong to you!"

Mu Qingchen, he is not a god who doesn't care about everything, his usual indifference is just that no one violates his bottom line.

"Well said! This is the aura my Phoenix Queen should have!" Su Hailing couldn't help but blurted out, and strode out.

"Hailing, why are you here?" A flash of relief flashed in Mu Qingchen's eyes, he slowly sat up from the soft couch, Mu Xin hurried forward to help.

"Don't move." Su Hailing naturally sat down on the side of the couch, holding his body, "Really, seeing guests when you're tired? Just leave it to Mu Xin."

"Yeah, but the young master refuses." Mu Xin pouted.

"You, you never take your body seriously." Su Hailing sighed, pinched his nose and smiled.

"Don't think of me as a kitten or puppy!" Mu Qingchen slapped her paw away.

Liu Rufeng bit his lips until they turned white.

She... Ever since she entered the hall, she hasn't even glanced at him, all she thinks about is Mu Qingchen!

"Liu Rufeng greets His Majesty." Liu Rufeng stepped forward and knelt down, and said softly.

He was not reconciled. How could such a man without beauty or gentleness be favored by her alone?

"Why are you still here?" Su Hailing asked in a daze.

"I..." Liu Rufeng was at a loss for words.

"Hailing, the imperial physician will have to take the pulse later on, so let's go to the inner palace to rest for a while." Mu Qingchen said calmly.

"Yes." Su Hailing agreed, helped him up, turned to call Zixin, and ordered, "Zixin, take Master Liu back."

"Yes." Zixin quickly agreed, "Mr. Liu, please."

Su Hailing ignored them, walked into the apse holding Mu Qingchen's hand.

"Hailing, what happened?" Mu Qingchen said in a deep voice as soon as he sat down.

"It's a long story, this time I almost capsized in the gutter." Su Hailing smiled bitterly, told the whole story, and finally said, "Qingchen, what is the mysterious power of the Great Qin Dynasty?"

"I don't know much about this." Mu Qingchen frowned, and said after a while, "The Great Qin Temple was originally very mysterious, but since the Great Qin Dynasty fell apart, the prestige of the temple has been broken, and it has disappeared for 300 years. Historical materials are hard to find.”

Su Hailing was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, he felt that Shui Li's actions at that time were very like the reaction after being hypnotized.

"By the way, the Dongfang Ying you mentioned, could it be..." Mu Qingchen doubtfully asked.

"He." Su Hailing couldn't help laughing, "If I'm not wrong, he is the Prince of West Qin who will be sent here for marriage."

"What?" Mu Qingchen was stunned, "Why did the prince of West Qin come to Dayong quietly?"

"Judging from his tone, it seems that he ran away from home to play." Su Hailing shook his head, and said helplessly, "He is a child that people can't hate."

"You like it?" Mu Qingchen raised an eyebrow.

"Qingchen." Su Hailing suddenly straightened his face.

"What's wrong?" Mu Qingchen was stunned.

"You are such a good student, you are really jealous..." Su Hailing sighed.

"Get lost!" Mu Qingchen glared at her and said angrily.

"This is my bedroom..." Su Hailing was speechless.

"Requisitioned!" Mu Qingchen said, he had already climbed onto the phoenix bed, and pulled off the quilt casually.

"Don't cover your head, it's not good for your health." Su Hailing quickly pulled down the quilt.

"My lord, you have to drink the medicine before you can sleep!" Mu Xin hurriedly said.

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring the medicine." Su Hailing said while digging him up from the bed.

"Whispering, one less drink will kill you." Mu Qingchen's face was full of resentment.

After tossing and tossing for a while, he let him fall asleep. Su Hailing also knew that he was really tired today, so he asked Mu Xin to watch over him, and forced Haoyue to go back to rest, and came to the imperial study room by himself.

Opening the secret compartment, the contents inside were almost the same as when she came to steal the secret book more than three years ago.

Thinking of Yun Mo, she couldn't help feeling a little worried, she hadn't heard from him for a long time, and he should have received the letter he sent last time, but she didn't know if he would do what it said.

However, many choices can only be figured out by himself.

"Your Majesty, General Lan has arrived." Ouyang Xun said outside the door.

"Please." Su Hailing agreed, and then remembered that Liu Rufeng would be in the palace, it must be Ouyang Xun's trick, it seems that we should beat her, so that no one will take her seriously.

The loyalty of courtiers is of course important, but she doesn't need people who like self-righteousness.

Lan Qinshuang walked in with a smile. Anyway, Su Hailing didn't like to place attendants in the imperial study room, and she didn't bother to put on a show when no outsiders were present.

"You are in a good mood." Su Hailing looked up at her.

"I don't believe you are sick." Lan Qinshuang shrugged and said with a smile, "What do you want from me?"

"Do you want to go back to the battlefield?" Su Hailing said directly without beating around the bush.

Lan Qinshuang was stunned for a while before saying, "I think, why don't I think about it, I really want to die!"

"That's good." Su Hailing nodded, and said lightly, "Get ready."

"A war is about to start?" Lan Qinshuang said excitedly, "Nan Chu?"

"Wrong!" Su Hailing vetoed it.

"Uh..." Lan Qinshuang blinked and hesitated, "Could it be that you want to fight Xiqin? This...the ink on the peace treaty is still wet, you don't want to be a foolish king who goes back on his promises, right..."

"Shut up!" Su Hailing glared fiercely, and now only this woman dares to say that she is a fool, "Is there nowhere else to fight except Southern Chu and Western Qin?"

"You mean..." Lan Qinshuang gradually understood.

"Grassland and desert." Su Hailing said, took out a map and unfolded it on the desk, pointed and said, "Dayong occupies the Central Plains, and most of the northern borders border the grasslands, so every winter, the grassland tribes go south to disturb the border, Looting supplies for the winter. If when we conquer Western Qin or Southern Chu, the tribes of the grassland stab us in the back, I am afraid that we will suffer from the enemy."

"Having said that, it's not easy to do." Lan Qinshuang frowned, "At the time of the Qin Dynasty's heyday, it sent troops into the grasslands and deserts seven times, but they couldn't find the opponent's main force because of the unfamiliar terrain. Going deep into the enemy's territory, the battle line is too long, and supplies are difficult to maintain, so we have to return without success."

"I know." Of course Su Hailing understood the struggle between the Han Dynasty in ancient China and the alien races in the grassland.In her opinion, those alien races are not really invincible and ineradicable, but they are just the so-called big country spirit of those politicians at work. In the final analysis, they just want to save face and suffer.

"Since Your Majesty said so, then there is a way to settle it once and for all?" Lan Qinshuang asked in surprise.

"Grassland democracy is born of water and grass, and it has no fixed place, so it is difficult to destroy." Su Hailing calmly said, "But they have a fatal weakness, that is, there are too few people!"

"You don't mean to..." Lan Qinshuang said in shock.

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to massacre the city." Su Hailing rolled her eyes and said, "You don't need to find the main force of the army, as long as you find a tribe, you will be captured regardless of men, women, or children, and exiled to the southern part of Dayong and the people of Dayong. Mixed living, within a few years, when those ordinary tribes are relocated, the main force of the royal court will have no source of soldiers, and at the same time, without ordinary herdsmen, it is impossible to support a huge army."

"I like this!" Lan Qinshuang's eyes lit up.

If she can really bring peace to Northern Xinjiang, her name Lan Qinshuang will definitely be recorded in Dayong's annals forever!

"Prepare well. This army can't be many, only [-] cavalry. If you exceed this number, you will lose flexibility. After all, you are going deep alone, and speed is the advantage you don't have. In case you are outflanked, Absolutely no reinforcements will come to rescue." Su Hailing reminded.

"I understand." Lan Qinshuang nodded, "I will secretly select [-] elite soldiers when I go back, and use the drill as an excuse to transfer them to the north."

"Also." Su Hailing continued, "Because the battle line is too long, and the cavalry come and go like the wind, they basically change places after a battle, and their whereabouts are erratic, so it will be very difficult to supply. In order to maintain the flexibility of the cavalry, you must not May carry luggage with the army."

"That is to say, war must be supported by war." Lan Qinshuang said.

"That's right." Su Hailing took a deep breath and said, "So, it's easy to say, but it's really difficult to do it..."

"The more difficult it is, the more challenging it is." Lan Qinshuang couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, "However, if you want to come and go like the wind, you need to have a good guide. After all, the terrain and climate of the grasslands and deserts are abnormal, and the most troublesome thing is the ubiquitous swamp quicksand, without a guide, the entire army of 5000 people can easily be wiped out."

"Ten years ago, the late emperor sent troops deep into the northern border. Although they retreated in vain, the guides and veterans were there at that time. I have ordered people to pick twenty of them for you. You can use them yourself." Su Hailing laughed.

"Then I'm relieved! If there's nothing wrong, I'll go get ready." Lan Qinshuang said.

"Go." Su Hailing said with a light smile, "There is no rush to use soldiers, I don't want to see you missing any parts when you come back."

"Bah, bah, stop cursing me!" Lan Qinshuang cursed with a smile, but she also understood in her heart that she was not the only one who needed to prepare, and Su Hailing also had to consider who could suppress the situation in the capital after she left.

"Get out!" Su Hailing spit out a word cleanly.

Lan Qinshuang smiled kindly, and then gave a military salute before leaving.

Su Hailing sighed, rubbed his temples, and stood up.

I had a busy night last night and was injured again, so I am really tired now.

In the imperial study room there is a soft couch for the queen to rest on. Su Hailing climbed up and closed his eyes without taking off his clothes.

After actually sitting in this position, now she understands more and more how hot this phoenix chair that looks gorgeous to outsiders is, and the last bit of resentment towards Su Xueling in her heart has also disappeared.

In his place, seek his job.

As the empress of a country, Su Xueling is actually very competent.

The emperor is selfless...

While in a daze, she suddenly felt an itchy nose and couldn't help sneezing.

There was a suppressed muffled laugh, and then, a soft thing swept across his face again.

Su Hailing opened his eyes in dissatisfaction, wanting to see which daring guy dared to tease her, but he saw a fox-like smile...

"They say you're dealing with state affairs and don't let me in. You're happy to be lazy." Situ Ye threw the feather in his hand and said sideways at her.

"Situ, how did you come in?" Su Hailing was stunned, no one came to report, and the clothes of a servant on his body proved that this guy definitely did not come in through a legitimate way.

"I entered the palace with my mother's servants, and then I fell in love with a waiter who brought you tea, so I changed his clothes and came over." Situ Ye said with a smile, "But that cold-faced Ouyang actually recognized me and refused to let me go." I came in, and I wanted to find someone to send me out of the palace...Hmph."

Su Hailing gave a wry smile, knowing that Ouyang Xun still underestimated Situ Ye's ability to use medicine.

"I said, is it because you don't plan to see me if I don't come to the palace?" Situ Ye pulled her hair angrily.

Su Hailing was stunned, looking at his face, he couldn't help feeling guilty.

He was injured because of her, but these days, because he had just ascended the throne and the situation was unstable in all aspects, she did ignore him a little bit.

"Why, have you nothing to say?" Situ Ye asked.

"The wound, is it all right?" Su Hailing said.

"Of course, don't look at who I am." Situ Ye smiled triumphantly, "Those imperial doctors said they would definitely leave scars, quack doctors are quack doctors, and when they saw me clean, their jaws almost fell off. Already!"

Su Hailing couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, it was Situ Fox who was so arrogant, those days were lifeless, it wasn't fun at all.

"Forget it, don't worry about that." Situ Ye waved his hand and said, "I'm here today to inform you: I want to enter the palace!"

"You want to enter the palace?" Su Hailing was stunned and said, "There are still more than two months before the draft."

"That Liu Rufeng can live in Luoxue Palace, why can't I?" Situ Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Or was everything you said last time just to make me happy?"

"Am I that kind of person?" Su Hailing gave him an angry look.

"It doesn't matter, I just want to enter the palace!" Situ Ye threw himself on her body with a rascal look on his face.

Su Hailing hugged his waist with one hand, stroked the cool and smooth hair with the other, and said with a smile, "No regrets?"

"I regret your size!" Situ Ye angrily bit her on the shoulder, "When I meet you, I, Situ Ye, will be resigned for the rest of my life!"

"Okay." Su Hailing is not a hypocritical person either, since he has already decided to accept him, he will no longer be twitchy.

Just enter the palace as soon as you enter the palace, anyway, it's only two months earlier, not to mention with this fox's ability, if he wants to sneak out of the palace to play, I'm afraid no one will be able to see him, so let him!
Hmm... It seems that the Xieyang Hall on the left side of Bixiao Palace is good, with a large independent garden, it is very convenient for Doctor Situ Yong to pull out the flower beans and plant herbs...
