First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 994 Jingkong and Liu Xiang (Jingkong)

Xuanyuan Xi didn't know about his being named Champion Marquis for the time being. The civil strife in the southwest had been calmed down and he was ready to go back.

Before leaving, he came to Si Ma Slope and stood on the high hillside on the back of Xiao Shiyi's horse, looking at the white direction in the distance.

Guo Mang rode his horse and followed him.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Guo Mang couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

In these days, Guo Mang was eye -catching about this young man who was younger than his son. He had the light blood of the teenager, but he had no impulsiveness of young people. He had courage and calmness.

Guo Mang often lamented that the young man seemed to be born for the battlefield.

The cold wind howled, and Guo Mang felt a hint of coldness. He looked at the young man with chapped lips and determined eyes beside him, and finally asked: "Sir, what are you looking at?"

Xuanyuan Xi said: "Look at the country of Yan."

Guo Mang thought for a while and asked: "Then...what did you see?"

Xuanyuan Xi said lightly: "Liang Guo deserves a beating."

Guo Mang was puzzled, why did Liang Guo get involved all of a sudden? The topic gets twisted a bit quickly!

Xuanyuan Xi answered his questions without hesitation: "Where did the rebels' armor and weapons come from? Where did the money to support the army come from? Zhou Chongyue is just a warrior, how can he be so capable?"

Guo Mang's face changed: "You mean... Liang Guo was behind the rebellion in the Southwest?"

A dead leaf flew towards Xuan'er and landed gently on Xuanyuan Xi's palm.

 Xuanyuan Xi clenched his palms and said with cold eyes: "Liang Guo."

He let go of his hand, and the dead leaves turned into powder and were blown away by the wind in the heavy snow.

 …

 The Southwest Rebellion came to an end, and Xuanyuan Xi left for Beijing.

"The road is still closed. Why don't you come back in a few days?" Guo Mang persuaded me.

  “No need.”

 He has to rush back to spend the New Year with Jiaojiao.

He jumped onto his horse neatly, his silver-armored red cloak fluttering in the wind behind him. He looked heroic and extremely handsome.

Guo Mang was stunned.

This child is too good-looking...

Of course, there is no mercy in killing the enemy.

　　It is hard to imagine that such a handsome young man is the little **** of murder who made all the rebels fearful on the battlefield a few days ago.

"General Guo, goodbye." The young man said, patted the horse's neck, and said with a smile, "There are only thirteen days left, Xiao Shiyi, it's up to you."

 The adult horse king stood up and raised his front hooves, tensed his body, and opened his big mouth, as if he was smiling wildly.

I’m here!

 Horses in a military camp were knocked over by him!

 It rushed into the endless wind and snow like an arrow off the string.

 …

One person, an eagle, and a horse braved the biting wind and snow, climbed over the mountains, walked through the city, and passed through the dense forest in the extremely cold world.

 Finally, we arrived in Shengdu on New Year’s Eve.

The snow in Shengdu is also very heavy, but there is no wind today. The goose-feather-like snow falls quietly. There are few pedestrians on the streets and the shops are closed.

The whole street could only hear the rapid sound of horse hooves and the loud roar of eagles hovering high in the sky.

Xuanyuan Xi hasn't seen Jiaojiao for a year. He missed her so much that his heart ached and he couldn't wait to get back to her.

 “Little Eleven!” He tightened the reins.

Horse King and the boy on horseback grew up together and had a tacit understanding, so they improved their already fast speed.

 Horse King actually wants to go back early.

 Human cubs are great, but they are troublesome to walk.

This time I walked him for a year, and he really didn’t want to walk him anymore.

 It wants to go back to walk Jiaojiao.

 …

This year, Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng took their children to celebrate the New Year in Yan State.

 The first is to visit Duke An Guo and Shangguan Yan, and the second is that the situation in Yan is tense. Xuanyuan Qi has been guarding the border for two years and has not returned to Beijing.

 Gu Jiao may have to go to the battlefield.

 The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were walking in the silver-covered imperial garden, and the laughter of children could be heard from time to time behind the flowers in front of them.

 Innocent and carefree.

Shangguan Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of gentle endearment.

The longer she has been the emperor, the stronger her fierce aura becomes, and the palace people can rarely see her softer side.

Shangguan Yan sighed with emotion: "Jingkong has made great contributions to the civil strife in the southwest. Did you know that he asked for orders to go to the southwest on his own? He said that if he didn't go, you would go."

Gu Jiao looked stunned.

Shangguan Yan sighed: "He said that he doesn't want you to fight anymore in the future. He will fight all the battles. Ask the Generalissimo and I not to tell you any military information, just tell him. He will definitely win, he promises ."

Gu Jiao's heart felt like she was hit hard by something.

  She suddenly remembered what Jingkong had said to her when he first came to the house.

 “Jiaojiao, you are amazing!”

“I want to become very powerful too! Even more powerful than Jiaojiao! Then Jiaojiao doesn’t have to be powerful!”

 She didn't understand.

The three-year-old Xiao Jingkong raised his head and looked into her eyes with clear eyes without any impurities: "Jiaojiao is very hard, right? Master said that powerful people have endured a lot of hardships, and they will still be able to endure hardships in the future." I will continue to suffer a lot."

 Because powerful people are destined to go up the mountain! It’s hard to go up the mountain, but it’s more comfortable to go down the mountain!

“Jiaojiao, wait until I grow up. When I grow up, I will carry you up the mountain!”

If powerful people have to go up the mountain, then he will carry Jiaojiao up the mountain!

Jiaojiao doesn’t have to walk, Jiaojiao’s suffering is coming to him!

At the time, Gu Jiao didn't really understand what a three-year-old little glutinous rice dumpling said about going up and down the mountain. It was only later that she gradually understood.

 She finally understood why he suddenly joined the army at the age of twelve.

 He gave up literature and joined the martial arts, not because he lost confidence in the scientific examination due to repeated bad luck, but because he wanted to go to war on her behalf.

 Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry forward the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations.

She hasn't had time to teach him this, and his mind is very simple.

 He just wanted to give her a prosperous and peaceful life.

“He didn’t even tell me when he left,” she whispered.

"You won't let him go if you tell me." Shangguan Yan said, glanced at Gu Jiao, and said, "The war in the southwest has ended, and Jingkong will be back soon. He must be very happy to see you."

Gu Jiao nodded.

 She wanted to be empty, very much.

"In addition." Shangguan Yan paused, "The situation in the six countries may change again."

Since the last battle against Jin, the six countries have lived in peace and harmony for several years, but not long ago, this delicate balance was broken.

Shangguan Yan proposed to build water transportation for the six countries, but was opposed by all countries.

There are various reasons, including not wanting to damage the country's feng shui, or not wanting to waste money and people.

 But the reason is actually for an island called Baoshan.

 Baoshan Island is located in the Jin State and is the territory of the Jin State. After the Jin State was defeated, it ceded many cities for peace, including this Baoshan Island.

 It's just that Baoshan Island is a deserted island. No one paid attention to it at first, but the State of Yan wanted it.

Who would have thought that the people who opened up the land later discovered gold mines on the island, and the other countries were unbalanced. They all thought that the Yan State deliberately concealed the mines, making everyone mistakenly think it was a desert island.

Now all countries want to take a piece of the pie.

 And this is impossible.

Shangguan Yan will never give in.

However, this is not the only reason why the situation among the six countries has become tense. Another important reason is the Turks.

 The Turks have changed.

 The Turks were originally split from the Jin State. There were thirteen tribes in total. Over the years, each major tribe had its own affairs and constant disputes.

It’s not that no one is trying to unify the thirteen tribes, it’s just that no one has the means.

 But just three years ago, the once weakest Turkic tribe suddenly emerged and annexed the other tribes one by one.

 It only took less than three years to unite the thirteen tribes that had been divided for hundreds of years.

 Two months ago, the Turks established a country and named it Wei.

Whether the six countries admit it or not, it is a country that has created a new prosperous era.

 The king of Wei State has not been proclaimed emperor for the time being, but has been proclaimed king.

"Probably he wants to wait for the envoys of the six countries to arrive there and witness his enthronement ceremony before he officially takes over the world." Shangguan Yan said, taking out an edict from his wide sleeves, "This is a personal letter from the King of Wei, inviting the royal families of all countries. Go and attend his coronation ceremony.”

Gu Jiao took it. She couldn't understand the Jin characters, so she asked, "Do you plan to go, mother?"

Shangguan Yan said: "Qing'er said he wanted to go, but I'm always a little worried, so I hope to find someone to go with him, whether it's you or my uncle."

Gu Jiao nodded, this is not a big problem, she can go, and Xuanyuan Qi can go too.

“In addition, I want to remind you of one thing.” Shangguan Yan said.

 “What’s the matter?” Gu Jiao asked.

Shangguan Yan frowned and said: "It is rumored that the reason why the King of Wei was able to go from being the weakest tribal leader's son to today is all because he has a resourceful prime minister under him."

Gu Jiao asked subconsciously: "What's your last name?"

 Shangguan Yan said: "Liu."
