The Red Mansions

Chapter 926 Xianning: Sir, why are you peeking today...

Xianning Princess Mansion

A carriage with eight-treasure glazed hairpin tassels returned to Princess Xianning's mansion under the cover of twilight. Jia Heng got off the carriage and followed Princess Xianning into the mansion. After passing the front hall, he came to the back house. .

Princess Xianning pushed back the accompanying female officer, took Jia Heng's hand, and said with a light smile: "Sir, the princess mansion is not too bad, it's not far from Rongning Street, and you'll be there just around the corner, sir. "

Jia Heng turned to look at the girl with moist lips, took the handkerchief, passed it over and said, "Xianning, wipe the corners of your lips."

Xianning: "..."

The girl suddenly noticed something, and her rouge-red face was even more radiant. She took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her lips. Not only did she act as if nothing had happened, she said coquettishly, "Mr. , and even ran over there, I still think of Mr. Jiangnan as happy, and I still choked on me and Chanyue."

As he spoke, he took Li Chanyue's hand and said softly, "Is that so, Chanyue?"

Li Chanyue was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses immediately, lightly thumped Princess Xianning, and said in embarrassment: "Cousin, stop talking nonsense."

Just now my cousin couldn't finish it by herself, so she spent a lot of time with her arms around her, and she choked when she was caught off guard.

Jia Heng didn't respond to these words, but looked around by the lantern hanging on the eaves of the corridor, and said: "This place has the style of Jiangnan gardens, with originality."

Princess Xianning took Jia Heng's hand and said softly: "Sir, follow me to the place where we will live in the future."

As he spoke, he held the little princess with one hand and Jia Heng with the other, and while speaking, walked towards the plaque inscribed with Tangli Pavilion.

This is a two-story attic with cornices and corners, surrounded by bamboo forests and beautiful trees, with gentle breeze, bamboo leaves rustling, and blue waves forming waves.

"It will be a bit cold to live here, but it will be better in summer." Jia Heng said softly.

Princess Xianning said: "There is a charcoal fire inside, and it's usually fine. I heard that the Xiaoxiang Pavilion where sister Lin lives is in the bamboo forest?"

Saying that, with a smile in her clear eyes, she looked at Jia Heng.

She had also seen that Sister Lin before, her brows and eyes were soft and weak, as if she contained the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, but she seemed to be more lively than Chanyue.

When the husband was in Jiangnan, he seemed to spoil her very much.

Jia Heng asked: "Almost, where did you know that?"

Princess Xianning smiled and said: "Sir is my son-in-law, I know more or less about the affairs of the family."

Jia Heng was speechless for a while, took Princess Xianning's hand, embraced her, and said softly: "The fight for favor has started so early."

Princess Xianning blushed, and said softly: "Who made Mr. so busy, if you don't come here often, it's rare to see him."

Jia Heng said: "Don't worry, I guess I will come to your side many times in the future."

If Xianning and Chanyue are really married in the future, there must be more of them at the beginning. Later, when they are really busy, they can move into the Grand View Garden for a while.

Jia Heng turned to look at Li Chanyue, who followed Qiaosheng, and asked, "Chanyue will live here in the future, right?"

Li Chanyue said softly: "My cousin told me to live here, it will be more lively, but...but I still want to live with my mother."

"My aunt must disagree." Princess Xianning blinked her eyes, as if she was joking.

The joy of the girl's housewarming from the palace to her new home, coupled with the joy of reuniting with Jia Heng, is obviously a little joyful and inexplicable.

Jia Heng paused, pulled Li Chanyue's slender catkins, and said warmly: "Let's talk in the attic, it's really cold outside."

After a while, there will be a lot of fooling around and playing around.

It's getting late today, probably I won't be able to see Lin Ruhai anymore, I can only wait until tomorrow.

Above the attic, there is a family of mica screens, and various expensive furniture are placed in the wing rooms. The Persian carpet is decorated with phoenix patterns, and in the smoked cage with animal heads in the middle of the wing room, there is a little green smoke curling up, a breath of peace and tranquility. Haunt indoors.

This time it was Princess Xianning who took Jia Heng's hand and came to sit down on the embroidered couch, leaning her head on the boy's arms, and said softly: "Auntie, how are you?"

Jia Heng sighed, and said: "It's good, but no one is with me, so I'm somewhat lonely."

Princess Xianning suddenly put her hands around Jia Heng's neck, raised her pure and beautiful face, and said, "Sir, I want a child too, give me a child."

Jia Heng: "..."

What kind of wolf word is this?
"Xianning, when we get married, you are still young, so it won't be too late to wait until two years later." Jia Heng put his arm around Princess Xianning's shoulder and said in a low voice.

Princess Xianning said quietly: "Her child will be the eldest son of Mr. in the future."

She has seen too many things in the palace where mothers are more expensive than children, I am afraid that the husband is even more focused on the south, and she is a little absent-minded.

Jia Heng paused, and said softly: "Although he is the eldest son, he has no name or distinction."

When Princess Xianning heard the words, she was silent for a moment, looked at the young man with a guilty look on his face, and said softly, "Sir."

In fact, speaking of it, my aunt did pay a lot, if it wasn't for her back then... my aunt would not be what she is now.

Jia Heng turned to look at Li Chanyue at the side, and asked, "What is Chanyue doing at home recently?"

Li Chanyue lowered her brows and blushed, and said softly, "I'm not busy with anything, just reading books and playing the piano."

It was clear that the nonsense just now had made the girl feel ashamed, and she realized that she was led badly by her cousin.

Princess Xianning took Li Chanyue's plain hand and said softly: "Chanyue, how can you be so shy in front of Mr.?"

As she said that, she looked at Jia Heng and said, "Chanyue has also learned a lot recently."

Jia Heng embraced the little princess's shaved shoulders, and said, "I just like Chanyue's personality."

Li Chanyue's delicate body trembled slightly, she stared at the young man, and said softly, "Mr. Jia."

Jia Heng pinched that greasy face, said with a smile: "After the battle is over, let's go to the south to have a good time."

In fact, he was hesitant to tell Chanyue about his life experience, feeling that the young girl Xu had a psychological burden.

Li Chanyue gave a slight "um" and said softly.

Princess Xianning asked: "Sir, will you leave in a few days?"

Jia Heng said: "After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it will only be two or three days."

Princess Xianning's soft and cold voice was filled with worry, and she said: "Just now, I was talking to the queen mother and the concubine mother. This battle is much more dangerous than before. What are the chances of winning, sir?"

Jia Heng sighed: "I can't say it yet, I'll do my best."

Princess Xianning heard the words, and said with firm eyes: "Sir, why don't I go with Mr., Mr. promised me at the beginning."

Jia Heng pulled Xianning over, hugged her in her arms, piled up a snowman, and said: "It's dangerous over there, I'm a little worried, you are different from your cousin, your cousin has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for a long time. "

Princess Xianning sighed softly.

She was worried that her husband would forget her over time.

Jia Heng went to put on his clothes, while the vermilion curtain was lowered from the golden hook, the tired birds returned to the forest at dusk, and the floating clouds returned to the mountains on a clear day.

In the spring of the 16th year of Chongping, the snow on the glazed tiles of the eaves had not long melted, and the snow water fell on the moss-covered stone steps, which was a little muddy.

Princess Xianning frowned slightly, her icy-skinned and jade-skinned face was already as beautiful and bright as a flower, but her waxy and soft voice was somewhat charming, and she said softly, "Sir."

Jia Heng asked, "What's the matter?"

Speaking from a condescending height, he approached and asked.

Princess Xianning's cheeks were as red as blood, and she suddenly looked at the young man, observed his expression, and when Jia Heng approached her cheek, she whispered, "Sir, what's going on today... why are you peeking at your mother?"

Jia Heng was startled, his complexion changed slightly, his figure couldn't help but pause, his eyes were deep, and he frowned and said: "Xianning, what nonsense are you talking about."

Princess Xianning suddenly opened her bright starry eyes and looked closely at the young man, her beautiful face showed a rosy charm, her pink lips were tightly pressed, and she said in a greasy voice: "Marquis Yongning, I am the queen mother of Xianning, how dare you?" Disrespectful to Ben Gong? What are you going to do, you, you... Take it out quickly."

Jia Heng: "..."

Do you eat pancakes?Can this be learned indiscriminately?Beware of Lu Shihan's warning, Xianning is becoming more and more lawless, what will happen if this continues?

Jia Heng just felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, he felt helpless in his heart, his head was extremely big, he frowned and said: "Xianning, don't imitate others' words, this is all outrageous."

"Sir, you still don't admit it, just now..." Princess Xianning said shyly, and she was aware of the subtle changes in her skin.

The husband is really lecherous, no, she has to keep an eye on him from now on.

"Nonsense." Jia Heng leaned down, leaned close to the girl's ear, and whispered, "Xianning, let's make trouble, don't hurt me."

If the words of the bed curtain spread even a little bit, then neither he nor Xianning can afford to walk around!The role-playing is all played to the empress who is the mother of the world.

Princess Xianning's eyebrows were starry eyes, she snorted, and said with a light smile, "We're talking in private, and we don't want others to know, if Mister peeks like that, then it's harming others and ourselves."

That person is her aunt, but she is also the queen who is respected by her mother. If someone with a heart finds out and slanders her father, no matter how favored the husband is, he will not be able to stop the father's thunderous anger.

Jia Heng said seriously: "Xianning, you're thinking too much. I just glanced at it casually, without any intention. When people see beautiful things, they will naturally take a second look."

He doesn't know how to explain to Xianning now, this kind of fleeting astonishment is originally a normal behavior of a man.

The main reason is that Xianning's evolution is too fast, and she is becoming more and more coquettish. She shouldn't have been allowed to learn how to speak like Jinyang before.

Princess Xianning's jade face was as red as rouge, and her nose was as straight as a jade bridge. She snorted with a greasy nose, and said in an intermittent voice, "Sir, that cousin Song Yan is quite similar to the queen mother, why not?" Shall I make a match and ask my aunt to promise her to Mr.?"

In fact, it was Jia Heng who fell in love with him, and worried that Jia Heng would have other thoughts and cause trouble for himself.

Jia Heng's voice suddenly became low, and he reprimanded: "Stop talking nonsense, that's your uncle and aunt's precious daughter, how can you just let me be a concubine."

"Okay, sir is really thinking about it." Princess Xianning frowned and said in embarrassment, like a vine wrapped around a tree.

Jia Heng paused, and thought to himself, where did Xianning learn all this?
And Li Chanyue's cheeks, which were as beautiful as snow, were as blushing as clouds, she looked at the two who were entangled with each other, and quickly hid her face aside, but she didn't know what to do.

But at this moment, Jia Heng took Li Chanyue's plain hand and said in a low voice, "Chanyue."

Li Chanyue was shocked, she hid her delicate body under the blanket, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Jia, you... you guys are making trouble."

Jia Heng turned his eyes to look at Li Chanyue, looked at the girl's shy eyebrows, couldn't help joking, and said with a smile: "Chanyue, it's going to happen anyway, if you escape the first day of junior high school, you won't be able to escape the fifteenth day." .”

He felt that Chanyue might also have some troubles. Although the whole family was neat and orderly, Chanyue still felt a little stressed at that point.

Not everyone is like Xianning, who grew up in Tian's family and sees some things very openly.

But even if it was Xianning, just now he was only joking about the aunt of Queen Song, not Duan Rong...

Jurchen Huang Taiji established a few queens, Zhezhe, Hailanzhu, Bumbutai, etc. In fact, these are normal.

Li Chanyue turned Wen Tranquility's beautiful face aside, her delicate body was already hot as fire, and she murmured: "It's a day if it can be delayed."

Jia Heng: "..."

Why is Chanyue so cute?

He took Li Chanyue's hand, hugged it in his arms, and said softly: "Then Chanyue will hold on."

Princess Xianning couldn't help laughing, her brows and eyes overflowed silently, and she said softly: "Chanyue has such a temperament. I talked to her well before, but now I retreated on the spot."

In fact, it would be better if the husband really can't help but talk about it, what are you talking about with Chanyue.

Jia Heng held Chanyue in his arms, patted the girl's back lightly, leaned into her slightly warm ear and said, "Okay, it's all right, it won't be too late to marry Chanyue."

In fact, he felt that if Chanyue was a little younger, it would be fine to take care of her.

From night to Xu time, the sky was getting dark, and the spring breeze in Chang'an in the northwest was chilly and biting. The sycamore tree in the courtyard had already lost all its branches and leaves, making rustling sounds with the wind.

I don't know how long it took before the curtain gradually calmed down, Princess Xianning showed a pretty face, took Jia Heng's hand, and embraced tightly.

Jia Heng was among the jade and soft flowers, gently caressed the girl's rosy cheeks, brushed the strands of sweaty hair hanging from the ears behind her ears, and said with a smile: "Zhi'er, you are really not afraid have."

Originally, I wanted to externalize it in practice, but Xianning insisted on internalizing it in my heart.

Princess Xianning's bright eyes were as bright as water, she seemed to be tracing the figure of a young man, and said softly: "I just said that I want to have a child with Mr.

When she has a child, no one can stop her and her husband at that time.

Jia Heng gently stroked a tear mole on the girl's cheek, and said softly: "There is not much work left, if we win this time, we will be able to confer a marriage, if we lose..."

In the end, the voice was a little faint.

"That's why I want to give birth to a child for my husband. I won't have any regrets at that time." The girl wrapped her hands tightly around Jia Heng's neck, and said every word.

At that time, raw rice was used to make mature rice, and she had a big belly, so she didn't believe that the emperor would not be lenient.

Hearing this, Jia Heng lowered her eyes to the determined young girl with her beautiful face, and said softly, "Zhi'er."

Xianning really has a deep affection for him, whether it's just imitating Empress Song, or serving him together with Chanyue.

Alas, silly woman.

The girl looked at the girl with a handsome face, and said in a cold voice that was like melting ice and snow, with a bit of laziness and sweetness, "Sir, why don't you go back today."

Jia Heng kissed the slightly hot and tender cheeks, smiled and said: "It's not good for me to stay here, you and Chanyue should go to sleep, get up early tomorrow, so you can go to the palace to greet the empress, if If you're okay, go to the Grand View Garden in my residence, you've all seen it before, and you're all easy to get along with."

But when Qing heard that he was coming back today, he should have come back from the Qin family, and should be at the mansion by now.

When Princess Xianning heard the words, her charming eyebrows and eyes were filled with displeasure, and she said disappointedly: "Then sir, go, I will go to see you tomorrow."

After all, there are still too few people on her side, and there are not as many people as there.

Jia Heng pinched the girl's pink face like a peach, and said: "Okay, we will have a long time together in the future, so don't be in a hurry for a while."

Princess Xianning said "Mmm", but she still looked at the young man with some reluctance in her heart, pursed her pink lips and said, "Mister, walk slowly on the road."

Jia Heng let out a "hmm", then pulled Li Chanyue who was "playing dead" curled up in the bed, and said, "Chanyue, you should also rest earlier."

"En." Li Chanyue responded softly, and said softly: "Then I will help Mr. Jia get dressed."

She watched for a long time and listened to it for a long time, but she couldn't get in a word. Alas, did you just promise Mr. Xiao Jia just now?

Jia Heng pulled Li Chanyue towards her, seeing the disappointment in her eyes, kissed the girl's slightly hot cheek, and said in a warm voice: "Okay, don't be so busy, it won't be good if you catch a cold again."

The little princess was in a daze, and suddenly felt the warmth and humidity coming from that cheek, her heart couldn't help but sweetness, and she responded in a low voice.

……

……

From night to Haishi, in the hall of the backyard of Ningguo Mansion, the fragrance of flowers is fragrant, warm and intoxicating, and the lights are brightly lit, as bright as day.

In the hall surrounded by a mountain and river screen, mahjong was rattling, but it was not Qin Keqing who was playing, but Sister Feng, You Shi, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You were playing mahjong around a mahjong table. Four women in gorgeous dresses and full of jewels are reflected in jewels.

And Qin Keqing was sitting on a pear wood chair, sewing a small dress, threading the needle and thread on the silk, lifting it up from time to time, and the jade man concentrated her attention.

After Jia Heng returned home, the servant girl in the mansion went to the Qin Residence early in the morning to inform Qin Keqing, so Qin Keqing returned to Ningguo Mansion, but she has not returned yet after hearing that Jia Heng went to the palace to face the saint.

On a mahjong table, Sister Feng is sitting under the painting in the middle hall, wearing a black rimmed ochre-red bottom multicolored satin round neck beige, a beige bamboo leaf dark flower stand-up collar and side skirt jacket, and a light yellow bamboo chrysanthemum with the word "Fu Shou" underneath. Embroidered horse face skirt, with a gilt crested hairpin pinned between the lush temples.

That bright and charming melon-seeded face, with a pink and plump complexion, and the jadeite earrings hanging around her ears, against the backdrop of her fair skin, looked like emerald jade.

Ping'er served tea behind him.

"It's up to you to play the cards." Third Sister You looked at the radiant Huaxin young woman opposite with a smile, and said, "Why is Sister-in-law Feng so absent-minded today?"

Sister Feng took out a mahjong tile, her pink lips slightly parted, and said with a light smile, "I was just thinking about how to win the tiles, Dongfeng."

As he said that, he threw out a mahjong tile, and the smile on his gorgeous and bright jade face remained the same as before.

She didn't know why she had such a big heart, and she dared to come and play mahjong with them, and Keqing came back.

Fortunately, Ping'er has washed the imperial clothes and tidied up the room, otherwise Keqing will have to see the trick.

Thinking in this way, he couldn't help taking advantage of the time when he picked up the teacup, and glanced at the beauty who was sitting quietly on the pear wood chair, who was sewing a small dress in his hands, and he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart.

She didn't do it on purpose yesterday, if she wanted to blame it, she could blame that person, and bullied her without saying a word.

Thinking of that person's many tricks last night, Sister Feng's heart throbbed again.

God is so pitiful, life is so big, I have never seen such a battle.

Qin Keqing raised her head, put down the little coat in her hand, and ordered: "Ruizhu, go outside and have a look, is the uncle back?"

Rui Zhu, who was serving, responded, turned around and left.

Not long after, Ruizhu went back and forth, and said with joy, "Grandma, grandpa is back."

The few people who were playing mahjong all followed the prestige and saw the boy in the python suit coming from the outside. Under the light, his eyes looked like bright stars and his cheeks were rosy.

"Husband." Qin Keqing called out, quickly got up to greet her, and said with a smile, "I'm back from the palace."

It's so late, the palace gate must have been locked long ago, I don't know where it came from.

Jia Heng approached so close, stretched out his hand to hold the slender catkin, looked intently at the beauty with fair complexion and picturesque eyebrows, and said softly: "Your dear."

I haven't seen Keqing for a while, and I miss him a little. Well, Keqing doesn't seem to be playing mahjong anymore.

Qin Keqing was a little ashamed, and said, "Husband, the errands in the south are all done."

"It's over." Jia Heng found a chair and sat down, took the tea from Qing Wen, and said, "However, the Lantern Festival is over tomorrow, and there are still a lot of things to do in Beijing."

Qin Keqing was surprised and said: "Why is my husband going to the north again?"

Jia Heng said: "Some things happened in the north again, I will lead the Beijing camp to go out in a few days."

In addition to drawing cavalry for this expedition, they also brought Hongyi cannons and flintlock guns that could be equipped with a battalion.

Qin Keqing looked worried, and said: "Why is my husband going to the north again? Didn't you just come back?"

Youshi and Third Sister You also looked at the young man, holding the mahjong in their hands, with worried expressions on their faces.

Sister Feng pursed her pink lips, Danfeng stared at the boy, her legs under her skirt couldn't help but folded, her mind was a little complicated and inexplicable.

Jia Heng smiled and said: "The war in the north is approaching, and we need to prepare early. After this war, we should be able to relax for a year or so."

If the strategic intention is really realized as the emperor said before, then the Jurchen will not dare to invade the south for at least a year, and then they can really relax, and maybe they can go to the south of the Yangtze River with Jinchai again?
Seeing Qin Keqing's gloomy brows lingering, Jia Heng said softly, "Okay, let's not talk about that for now, have you guys eaten?"

Just now Xianning didn't make a lot of troubles, but before he came back, he had bathed and changed his clothes, so there was nothing unusual about his body.

Sister Feng got up, with a charming smile like a spring flower, and said: "Kaiqing, it's getting late, you two should go back to rest earlier, let's go back to rest first."

The couple held hands as if no one was around, making them envious and angry at the same time.

In fact, this is a trace of jealousy that the young woman Huaxin didn't even realize in her heart.

Qin Keqing was a little ashamed, and said softly: "It's okay for Sister-in-law Feng to play a little longer."

Sister Feng glanced at the boy, her heart skipped a beat, she wanted to play a little longer.

Jia Heng asked: "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, the house is very lively, sister-in-law Feng, is the house ready?"

This is the second Lantern Festival he has come to this world. Last time, he accompanied a group of gold hairpins to set up lanterns in the Qinfang River and made a wish. Now it is another Lantern Festival.

Sister Feng was suddenly stared at by the young man's divine gaze, her heart skipped a beat, but the smile on Meizi's charming face remained undiminished, and she smiled and said: "Then invite Lin Uncle came over, invited the theater troupe, and guessed lantern riddles, by the way, the old lady also said that she wanted to go to the Grand View Garden.”

Jia Heng nodded, stared at Sister Feng, and said softly: "Sister-in-law Feng will make arrangements."

Sister Feng pursed her pink lips, lowered her beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Heng, don't worry, I'm sure everything will be properly arranged."

After everyone dispersed, Jia Heng and Qin Keqing returned to the wing room of the back house. The husband and wife sat down and talked.

Qin Keqing asked: "Husband, Uncle Lin is in Beijing, when are you going to meet him?"

"I made an agreement with Sister Lin, just for a few days." Jia Heng said softly, took Qin Keqing's hand, and said, "Okay, let's rest."

Qin Keqing said "Yes", and under the service of Baozhu and Ruizhu, after washing her feet, she lifted the quilt and got on the embroidered couch.

"Did your monthly letter come these days?" Jia Heng asked.

It has been a month since he left Beijing, and he started to conceive when he left Beijing, so there should be some movement at this point in time.

"There are still a few days, and I haven't seen her yet. I was just asking an imperial doctor to take a look." Qin Keqing leaned her cheek into Jia Heng's arms, and said in a low voice, "I don't see morning sickness."

As the beauty spoke, there was a hint of frustration in her soft and charming voice. Don't tell me there is something wrong with her body, she can't give birth, right?
Jia Heng came close to Qin Keqing's ear and said in a low voice: "Then see an imperial doctor tomorrow, I think it's almost done, why don't we work harder?"

As he spoke, he took the beauty's hand and planned to help him onto the horse and see him off for a ride.

Qin Keqing's jade cheeks like peach pistils were as blushing as clouds, and her delicate body softened by half.

……

……

Grassland, Xilamulun River, on the vast grassland stretching as far as the eye can see, white tents stand like stars in the vast field.

In the tribe where the Naiman Banner is located, a large group of cattle and sheep galloped over the snow-melted grassland.

In a spacious tent, Tara, the patriarch of the Naiman clan, was talking with the incoming Jurchen Prince Dorgon, Shi Tingzhu of the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty, Ma Guangyuan and others.

Tara was in her late forties, imposingly built, with a bronzed complexion, high cheekbones, and slightly thick lips.

The Naiman family often sent knights to follow the Jurchens to invade the south, and the two sides had frequent exchanges and close contacts, so the relationship was very close.

Dorgon said: "According to the report from the spies, the Han people are now vigilant and want to unite with Ezhe. We need to take a step ahead of time. The order of the Great Khan is to let your clan prepare warriors and do it as soon as possible, in case Long nights and many dreams."

Since Huang Taiji changed the name of the country to the Qing Dynasty and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Chongde, he couldn't wait to annex Mongolia, or he noticed the tendency of E Zhe and Chen Han to unite, and was ready to act first.

Tara smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, this time our department is willing to be the vanguard, and Aohan's department will follow closely. The old Bayin of Keshiketeng has already promised that the two will not help each other. The sick Otok is no match for us."

Of the eight Ertuokes in Chahar Mongolia, three are dissatisfied with Ezhe.

Dorgon thought for a while, and said: "Then in the next few days, we will formally raise troops and launch an attack on Sunit, and pull out this nail first!"

It can be said that Jurchen launched an attack before Jia Heng joined forces with Mongolia.

Jurchen and Chahar Mongol's Erwuzili should formally raise their troops, and the situation in the entire Monan grassland is like a powder keg piled up, ready to explode!
