The prince is very fierce

The ship sailed down the Fen River into the Yellow River. With the help of the river water and the north wind, it arrived at Fenglingdu, 800 miles away, in just three days, only 200 miles away from Chang'an City.

Three days is a short time, but for the ever-changing battlefield, it is enough for the cavalry to advance 300 miles with a lightning attack. The central part of the court was empty of troops, and it was too late to send reinforcements to Taiyuan in three days. The army of Northern Qi was unstoppable all the way, and almost no decent obstacles were encountered. It has now reached Huozhou in the west, Changshan in the winter, and Handan in the south, and a huge gap has been dug on the eastern front. The capital Taiyuan City was surrounded by ten times the number of troops, and it was already in danger under the day and night attacks. Judging from the current situation, it was only a matter of time before the city was broken.

The front line was pushed too far and the food and grass could not keep up. Northern Qi no longer forced the march forward, but turned to building the pass city defense, first eating this springboard to the Central Plains. Once Northern Qi gained a foothold, it would not be easy to fight back. It can be said that the only good news in these long days was that Xu Buling captured the king in front of the battlefield, and all the other news was bad news.

With the outbreak of war in the east, the appearance of Fenglingdu Town has changed greatly. The Jianghu disappeared without a trace, and instead, the endless Guanzhong Army, led by the generals, marched northward.

At the Yellow River ferry, on the terrace on the second floor of the ship building, Lu Hongluan and Xiao Xiang'er stood together, looking at the mighty army on the river bank.

Neither of them knew much about fighting and marching. The news on the ship was blocked, and Xiao Qi didn't tell them about the war in Taiyuan. Knowing that Xu Buling was safe and sound and unparalleled, and seeing the huge reinforcements of the court, she felt at ease.

This time, going to Jiangnan to welcome a bride, there were too many problems. Lu Hongluan now just wants to return to Suzhou as soon as possible, even if Ling'er chews grapes, it is better than being frightened here.

Lu Hongluan folded her hands on her waist and said softly, "Xiang'er, when will Ling'er come back? It's been a few days..."

Xiao Xiang'er didn't know either, but she was a little more generous and calm, and comforted softly, "Sister has sent the news to Luliang. Xu Buling will rush back after receiving it. It may be slower to go by land, but there will be no problems without the obstruction of the Qi army."

Lu Hongluan pursed her lips. She didn't know much about the situation at the border, so she didn't say much.

In the room below the two people, they were also paying attention to Xu Buling's whereabouts. The large room is usually a place for entertainment. The piano table and painting table have been moved to the wall. On the carpet in the middle of the room, there is a large map with various geographical locations marked on it.

Nightingale knelt in front of the map, holding a wooden stick in her hand, and said seriously:

"If the news is delivered quickly, the young master should have set out from Luliang yesterday and is probably here now..."

Around the map, there were women sitting.

Zhu Manzhi crossed her arms and frowned. Although she didn't understand much, she nodded from time to time, looking like she was racking her brains to come up with a plan.

Apprentice Ning Yuhe was still outside, with a worried look on his face. After listening to a few words, he said softly: "How about I go to pick up Ling'er and Qingye? It's chaotic outside, and it's safer to have a helper..."

Zhongli Jiujiu sat next to Ning Yuhe, and the little sparrow landed on her shoulder, drowsy. Zhongli Jiujiu was already Xu Buling's young wife, so how could she not worry about her husband? When she left Taiyuan, she wanted to go out to look for him, but was stopped by Xiao Qi. Hearing Ning Yuhe's words at this time, she frowned and said:

"What's the point of you going? Apart from me, your sister, who can find people in such a big place? If you want to go to pick them up, it should be me..."

Zhongli Chuchu sat sideways and leaned on Manzhi, still a little resentful of her cheating master. Especially when she heard about Xu Buling and Ning Qingye's heroic deeds of "capturing the king and the enemy generals alive" in Taiyuan, Manzhi envied them to death. But the two of them could only escape on the boat and watch Ning Qingye as the heroine on the battlefield. Naturally, she felt unbalanced.

Manzhi was fine. She was not good at martial arts and was not tall. She had no chance to accompany Xu Buling on the battlefield. Zhongli Chuchu was different. She had a good foundation. If Zhongli Jiujiu had been willing to teach her real kung fu instead of teaching her how to be beautiful, she would definitely be able to capture the enemy prince alive with Xu Buling this time. How could she be standing here like a vase?

Hearing what the master said, Zhongli Chuchu snorted with a little dissatisfaction:

"I could have helped Master Xu, but I was despised for my poor martial arts. If I could learn half of your skills, I wouldn't be sitting here anxiously now..."

When Chuchu spoke, Jiujiu felt guilty and her momentum naturally weakened a bit:

"Ah~ I'll teach you, I'm sure it will be useful next time, let's talk about the current solution first..."

Song Yufu is not a woman of the world, so she naturally doesn't care about this kind of self-willed help. She held an opposing opinion and gently dissuaded him:

"Sister Jiujiu, please don't sneak out. If we mess around, it will only cause trouble. If Miss Xiao knows, she will be distracted again..."

Because Zhongli Jiujiu did not hide it, Zhu Manzhi had already learned that Da Zhong had stolen her man. She and her good sister Chuchu shared the same hatred and snorted:

"Don't worry, Da Zhong is now Mr. Xu's young wife. How dare you disturb Miss Xiao, right, Daning?"

Ning Yuhe and Zhongli Jiujiu are sworn enemies. She should have followed Manzhi's words and laughed at Zhongli Jiujiu. But the two of them were lying down together, so they didn't have the nerve to "laugh at each other at fifty steps". They just smiled and didn't say anything.

Compared with the random thoughts of a group of chivalrous women, Xiao Qi was obviously much more serious.

In the study room on the second floor, Xiao Qi was sitting behind the desk, wearing a long black dress. She looked a little tired, but her eyes were still clear and sharp, with the aura of a superior who had everything under control.

Sitting next to the coffee table in the study was not an outsider, but Lao Xiao, the doorkeeper of Prince Su's palace who had not been seen for a long time.

After half a year, Lao Xiao's appearance has not changed much. He has the same servant's hat as always, his crutch is at his hand, and he is holding a teacup in his hand.

In front of the future princess, Lao Xiao rarely lost his rude appearance and sat upright, even showing a bit of immortality.

Xu Buling went to the south of the Yangtze River to welcome his bride. Lao Xiao had been busy in Chang'an City for nearly two years and made too many enemies in the world, so he did not go with him. He wanted to rest for a few months and carefully study the collected rare books at home. As for Xu Buling's promise to help him collect 'wonderful books' from various places, Lao Xiao didn't take it seriously at all, because the young prince must have forgotten it when he left home.

If you forget, just forget it. At worst, you will just go shopping for it. But my little prince forgot to collect books, but he did not forget to use him.

Lao Xiao was having a good time in the Suzhou teahouse, when suddenly an urgent letter came over asking him to order the Ancestral Hall in Wudang Mountain!

Oh my God!

For the Patriarch Hall in Wudang Mountain, it would be better for him to go to the Song Ancestral Hall. At least the Song Ancestral Hall doesn't have so many stinky cow noses squatting with strong martial arts skills.

I believe everyone is here, you can't pretend you didn't see it.

Lao Xiao could only walk thousands of miles to Wudang Mountain with a cane. He spent a lot of energy and reached the outside of the Patriarch's Hall at Tianzhu Peak.

Just order the Ancestral Master Hall. It’s not a big deal if it’s a rundown house.

But as soon as Lao Xiao set fire to the ancestral hall, his own young prince killed Wudang as the master.

I'll be a good boy!

If this news hadn't come, Lao Xiao wouldn't have known that there were so many immortals hiding near Wudang Mountain to cultivate immortality. Even Master Qingxu came out with a sword. The scene was called "Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing his magical powers".

Lao Xiao is sitting on the boat now, and he can't believe that he actually escaped alive.

But the matter is finally done. If he is tormented by his young prince again, he will probably die outside.

Lao Xiao put down his tea cup and turned his head to look at Xiao Qi:

"Miss Xiao, do you have any more orders? Young Prince, I won't wait any longer. I have to go back and focus on the wedding banquet. Now that the war is urgent, Prince Su may not have the energy to deal with this."

Xiao Qi knew that Lao Xiao was the door god of Prince Su and his son, and her words were quite intimate, so she smiled and said:

"I have sent a letter to Xu Buling, asking him to dedicate Jiang Kai to the court to ease the relationship between Chang'an and Xiliang. Mr. Xiao can just inform King Su about this."

Old Xiao rubbed his tea cup and shook his head: "I'm afraid this relationship will not be improved. With the temper of the young prince, if there is a chance, he can chop off the current emperor with one knife, and there will never be a second knife. The current emperor is similar."

Xiao Qi naturally knew how deep the conflict between the emperor and Prince Su was, so she just chuckled and said:

"The situation is changing rapidly. As long as the emperors, generals and ministers share the same interests, there is no conflict that cannot be resolved. The south and north of the Yangtze River are in turmoil at the same time. The Qi army occupies the central part to isolate the east and west. The soldiers and horses of the Western Liaoning Protectorate cannot reach Guanzhong Road. If at this time The kings of Chu and Wu gathered their troops to go to the capital, and the imperial court did not dare to mobilize the border troops to defend Guanzhong. The only one they could rely on was King Su. If the relationship is too tense, it will be difficult to negotiate. "

"What does the eldest lady mean, is to let the prince lead troops into Guanzhong to quell the rebellion of the kings? This seems to be of no benefit to Xiliang..."

Xiao Qi looked calm: "Of course there is no benefit in the short term. But as long as I can enter Guanzhong Road, I have the final say whether I can go back or not?"

"..."

Lao Xiao thought about it for a moment and nodded slowly: "I'm an old man and I can't understand this. Just bring it to me. I can't say whether King Su will agree..."

"The general trend is that King Su has no choice. I will discuss these matters in detail with King Su after I arrive in Suzhou."

"hehe……"

Lao Xiao nodded, said no more, got up and walked out of the study...
