After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Yan Shouzhuo nodded, holding his sword and standing up.

Qin Yaoguang, who was sitting in the guest of honor seat, glanced in their direction and then looked away.

Yan Changqing's hand covered the back of her hand for a moment, then quickly withdrew it.

They returned to Yumen Pass and let everyone know very early, and Yan Changqing released the news that he was poisoned.

The purpose is to lure out the people of King Ruyang who are lurking in Yumen Pass.

Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.

To recover Hexi, in addition to relying on Suojibu's capabilities, Yumen Pass is an indispensable barrier.

Who knows whether Prince Ruyang's arrangement is to seize power and rebel at the same time, or to support his actions and serve as a fallback plan?

In short, Yumen Pass cannot be in chaos.

After discussing with everyone, Qin Yaoguang decided on this strategy of luring the enemy into a trap, creating a series of illusions to force the other party into action.

In addition to Yan Changqing being poisoned, they were divided into two teams, fast and slow, on the road.

The news to Yumen Pass will be sent by the vanguard troops first, while Yan Changqing will protect the princess and walk slowly.

There is no need to even give a specific reason, people will naturally fill in the blanks in their minds: the princess suffered so much hardship on her mission, so she naturally had to slow down on her return journey, and the prince was reluctant to let her suffer any more.

But in fact, it was the eldest princess and her group who arrived first, and the slow group only existed to confuse people.

The purpose is to catch the opponent by surprise.

Only the commander of Yumen Pass knew the real news.

Therefore, when the eldest princess and her entourage appeared at Yumen Pass in advance, it would arouse suspicion in the other party's hearts.

Was it discovered?

Or is it just due to Yan Changqing's caution?

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will naturally take root and sprout.

After formulating the strategy, Yan Yuanan volunteered to carry it out.

Qin Yaoguang agreed.

Since you have absolute military strength, you might as well take the opportunity to give the children some training.

It is impossible for a child to grow up in a day, and it is impossible for him to understand the practical operation after learning the theory. That is just "paper talk".

In Qin Yaoguang's plan, Yan Yuanan is the person who will inherit the country and ascend the throne in the future.

You can't become emperor first before practicing?

With greater ability comes greater responsibility.

Similarly, the higher the status, the greater the impact of the decisions made.

Although the emperor seems to be in the highest position, the more restrictions he is subject to, the greater the cost of trial and error, and the less he dares to try.

This is such a precious opportunity. If we don’t practice now, when will we do it?

During the trip to Hexi, when Qin Yaoguang was in the most difficult time, she and Yan Yuanan depended on each other.

It was also at that time that she discovered that Yan Yuanan's wisdom, ability to adapt to changing circumstances, and overall view of taking one step at a time were far beyond her expectations.

Is this simply because of the talent given by the plot of the original book?

Qin Yaoguang doesn't think so.

So-called talent determines the upper limit of a person's ability, but it does not mean that hard work is not necessary.

Otherwise, we are just ordinary people wasting the gifts given by God.

Yan Yuanan is a typical example of someone who combines talent with hard work.

If he had not learned and accumulated the foundation from Gongsun Cang, he would not have been able to achieve such a brilliant result in this trip.

Qin Yaoguang witnessed his amazing growth with his own eyes.

Not only him, but all five children were like this. Not one of them slacked off on the road of learning.

Qin Yaoguang felt relieved to let Yan Yuanan take charge of this matter.

She enjoyed the food peacefully, thinking to herself that she must comfort the two children, Yan Jinyin and Yan Jinyang, in the evening.

For safety reasons, she did not allow the two to leave the city to welcome their return, nor did she allow them to attend the banquet.

Yan Jinyin could certainly understand it, but with Xiaowu's personality, he might have secretly shed tears again.

They came all the way from the capital, and after going through so much, they were finally going to see their mother, but she told them they had to wait until the evening.

Qin Yaoguang understood this feeling very well.

It’s like a table full of delicious food is placed in front of you, but you can’t pick up your chopsticks. You have to wait for the host to pick up his chopsticks.

The wine had a strong aftereffect, which made her mind wander and she didn't pay attention to some small actions at the banquet.

Yan Changqing looked at her with a gentle smile in his eyes.

He knew that she looked so defenseless because she felt safe.

It is his duty to protect her.

Even if the aconite poison has not been resolved, what does it matter?

As long as he was there, no one could hurt her, not even a hair.

Beyond the two people's sight, everything was happening quietly.

Yan Shouzhuo followed the two generals who pretended to be drunk into the courtyard. In order not to wrongly accuse them, he waited until they made contact with someone before knocking them out and confiscating their weapons.

Then, the people in ambush rushed out from the darkness and tied them up along with the contact person.

Yan Shiyan appeared outside the general's mansion.

He brought Qingbai with him and used the smoke provided by Yan Jinyang to quietly subdue the archers who were waiting for the contact person's order and strangled them all.

Archers can be terrifyingly lethal as long as they are given the right distance.

Unfortunately, these archers and crossbowmen that Prince Ruyang had raised for a thousand days were no longer able to play their roles.

In the darkness of night, Su Bai and Fang Ting each brought their men to search for suspicious people inside and outside the mansion and subdue them one by one.

At the banquet, perhaps because the two generals never returned, the square-faced young deputy general sitting below the guarding general became increasingly restless.

According to his plan, it should have started long ago, not so quietly.

How come the assassin who is good at hiding and the crossbowmen who can surround the entire house are so quiet?

The deputy general was filled with doubt and uncertainty. He tried to conceal his emotions and drank with the guard, but his eyes were always looking outside.

"What are you looking at?"

The guard's eyes were red, and it was unclear whether it was because he drank too much or was too sad.

He slapped the deputy general on the shoulder with such force that he almost knocked him onto the table.

At this point, what else is there to not understand?

Fortunately, he valued this young deputy general very much and even wanted to marry his niece to him. When he retired from the army, he would write a letter to recommend him to take his place.

I never expected it to end like this.

"General, are you drunk?"

The deputy general didn't realize anything was wrong yet. He just thought the general was drunk and didn't control the strength of his hands well, so he pushed his hand back and said with a smile: "Why don't I help you go back to the backyard to rest?"

As a junior, he has good skills on horseback and is efficient in his work.

In addition, he knew how to behave in society, and gradually he won the favor of the garrison commander, who reused him and eventually promoted him to deputy general.

However, at this moment, the same words coming out of his mouth only sounded ironic.

A person whom he once trusted wholeheartedly was actually bribed by Prince Ruyang to become a spy, and he even attacked the princess and others at the banquet he hosted.

It broke our hearts.

Qin Yaoguang glanced at him indifferently and drank the ruby-red grape wine in the glass.

Such an ungrateful person, look at what happened to him.
