Changqing Ci

Chapter 74 Dark Arrow

A lot of people gathered outside the barracks, but they were driven away by Ana Yanran, leaving only her personal guards and Xun Changqing, but they didn't raise their eyebrows, obviously a little confused about her arrival.

Xun Changqing was also puzzled by her words, and immediately said: "Yuan Yu of Jizhou has already informed you that I am here on behalf of Daqi, the princess is pretending..."

Ana Yanran turned around and glanced at the guards, she also shook her head slightly, she didn't know about this matter, her eyes were extremely pale, like the thousand-year-old ice formed in a boundless lake in winter, killing the cold, she said: "I really don't know about this matter, but Now that you're here, let's go in."

Wei Lingci immediately grabbed Xun Changqing's wrist and looked at Ana Yanran: "Princess, you really don't know about this?"

Ana Yanran put her hands behind her back, and said calmly: "I don't need to deceive you about small things, whether you can enter the gate of the barracks, it's up to you."

"The princess doesn't know about this matter, but someone on behalf of the frontier has responded to this matter on your behalf. Will the two of us be decapitated when we enter? Changqing came to see you, but he was thinking about seeing his mother and concubine, not about the two armies. But she is still Daqi's princess, if someone captures and threatens the prince, the princess will know the weight of it."

Ana Yanran pursed her lips and smiled lightly, her eyes were quiet, "Miss Wei, I can't decide what happens to the frontier, but this barracks is under my control. I didn't know it beforehand. If I know it now, no one will hurt you two. cent."

After getting the guarantee, Wei Lingci let go of his hand, but the Qingfeng sword in his right hand has not been removed, causing all the soldiers in the barracks to look at her sideways. The commander in the army is a woman, and naturally there are many female generals. After seeing Wei Lingci , they all twitched their lips, they had also heard about the influential figures in the Daqi Jianghu in the frontier.

Wei Lingci had already heard of Wei Lingci many years ago when he killed dozens of assassins with outstanding martial arts by himself, and now seeing him in real life, many people came forward to see the real face.

The soldiers stopped practicing and looked at this place, which startled Ana Yanran, and turned around to look at these soldiers with excited eyes, and slightly curled the corners of their lips, saying: "Wei Lingci, you are not a man of influence in Daqi." , in our frontiers, they are casual heroes, Daqi now has very few women who are officials, but it is not uncommon in our frontiers."

This is a wooing in disguise, Xun Changqing was silent, the mother and concubine had really changed, she was scheming as soon as she opened her mouth, she hadn't seen each other for several years, the innocent family affection back then was long gone, and all that was left was full of scheming and entanglements between the two countries.

The scene many years ago was like Hua Xu's dream.

Hearing Wei Lingci's words, the light in Wei Ling's eyes flickered, and dark waves flowed, "The princess is flattering me, I'm just a figure in the world, and there are many people with high martial arts skills on Lingyun Mountain."

After entering the account, the personal guard stood at the door and interjected: "Speaking of Daqi Lingyun Mountain, we frontier people are also very yearning."

"Longing... That's why you sent someone to study in Lingyun Mountain. It's just that Daqi's martial arts are different from those in the frontier. It may not be easy to combine the two after learning."

The personal guard Huan Baiyan, who grew up with Ana Yanran, was taken aback when he heard the words, just now he just said a random word, but was noticed by Wei Lingci, before he could think about it, he denied it: "Miss Wei thinks too much."

"Oh, if Master thinks too much, then who is Zhou Manman in Lingyun Mountain? Xu Ke is only interested in profit. As long as he gives benefits, he will bring you frontier people into Lingyun to learn arts. It seems that the martial arts are upright, but it's also complicated. Your frontier spies, princess, is Changqing right?"

Ana Yanran, who had just sat down, smiled softly, looked at the shriveled Baiyan, her extremely shallow smile was unattainably deep in her eyes, and looked at Xun Changqing again. indifferent.

"Zhou Man is indeed from my frontier, and even the head of your Lingyun Mountain is from my frontier. Xun Yi thought that the soldiers and horses of Kangcheng fell into his hands, but not always. Xu Ke also wanted to control it, and Ruo Xun also succeeded. , then Daqi really fell into Xu Ke's hands, it's a pity that someone messed up the situation, but it is also a good thing to make Xun Yi lose a son."

Xun Changqing's heart skipped a beat, and he faintly felt that her words were horrifying. He looked at Wei Lingci, who pursed his lips slightly, and she said, "What exactly do you want to do? What does it mean that Xun Yi lost a son?"

Ana Yanran's eyes lighted slightly, "You don't know that Xu Ke killed Xun Yitang, the son of Prince Pingnan, and Xun Yi wanted him everywhere?"

Xun Changqing's whole body was stiff, his legs trembling slightly as he stood there, his lips parted, but he didn't know how to speak, at this moment Ana Yanran said again: "Didn't you come to Jizhou because of this?"

In fact, it was Ana Yanran who really made a big splash. There was a turmoil in the imperial capital, and Xun's family members were involved in it. At this moment, she sent troops to attack the border town, and easily captured the border town. Jizhou was burdened by the people of the two cities. The frontier army is bound to have more bad luck than good luck.

Once Jizhou falls, the city in the south will be even more irresistible!

Wei Lingci's eyes were startled, and then he lowered his eyes slowly. His delicate facial features were so calm that he couldn't see other emotions except his complexion was slightly paler. Qing bit the corner of her lips, the news was indeed too shocking, she and Xun Yitang only met once, so there is not much relationship.

However, Xun Yi attaches great importance to it, and I am afraid that there will be another bloody storm in the imperial capital.

Her face was deep and mature, and she didn't hide her surprise, "I really don't know about this, but Xu Ke is from your frontier..."

"You are wrong, he is from the frontier, yes, but he is a disobedient frontier man, what he does is for his own self-interest and has nothing to do with me." Ana Yanran interrupted coldly as if she didn't want the person in front of her to misunderstand After listening to Xun Changqing's words, he said again: "I already understand why you came here. It is impossible to stop me. If the two armies do not fight, I will let you two go back safely."

"Princess..." Bai Yan at the door could no longer hold back her anxiety, her eyes fell on Wei Lingci's indifferent face again, and she gritted her teeth: "Bai Yan saw Miss Wei today, and I really want to see Da Qi." Kung fu, I want to try it out."

It's okay not to use martial arts, if the two of them do it, most people in the barracks will come after hearing the news, and under the wheel of battle, it's probably difficult for Wei Lingci to get out of this door.

Xun Changqing turned around and glanced at the agitated Baiyan, with a rare indifference and coldness on his face, "General Bai, don't be afraid to spread the word that you have many people who bully you, and you really want to compete. Before the two armies, How you want to fight, we can all accompany you, but it is not appropriate at this time."

Bai Yan stopped at the door, "It's just a couple of tricks, just tap it."

Right now, Bai Yan can't decide what to do, and Xun Changqing doesn't bother to argue with her, the smile deepens on his lips, "Princess, I've met you now, but Changqing still wants to ask you, what did you bring with you when you left? "

Ana Yanran sat behind the table, rummaged through the table, found something like a map and threw it to Xun Changqing casually, and said indifferently, "Is this what you're talking about?"

Xun Changqing took the map a few steps forward, opened it up and glanced at it, his face suddenly changed, "This is not a defense map..."

"The assassin broke into the palace, and after I caught him, I found this on him, and I killed him. This is just a map for the imperial capital's defense forces. No matter who gave it to me, I will accept it. If I stay in the original The earth finger might be regarded as someone who stole the map, so I took this thing with me and left the imperial capital and went back to the frontier."

There was still half a word left, if someone with a heart hadn't spread rumors that she had a map of the deployment of Daqi's troops, she would not have easily cheated back the military power from her wimpy elder brother.

It's just that Wei Lingci also guessed most of the things she didn't say clearly. Ana Yanran was not the main messenger of this plan, but the beneficiary. She used the fake defense plan to deceive the trust of the king, and thus gained military power.

But the main messenger of this matter is probably in the imperial capital, but there is no need to find out the truth. Ana Yanran claimed that she had obtained the defense map in the frontier, and further investigations would only get more and more black.

Xun Changqing let out a long breath, his eyes softened a little, and he bowed and said, "Since that's the case, the words have already explained that Changqing should go back and return to his command, but on the battlefield in the future, the two armies will face the enemy. Yes...have some kindness towards the common people, I hope the princess will not do the incident of the border town soldiers being poisoned to death overnight."

Anayan's expression changed slightly, but there was a look of peace on her face, "On the battlefield, I have the final say. Besides, Huang Fulin is the only one to blame for the border town. If he seeks medical treatment, report to the court. , and tens of thousands of soldiers will not die of illness."

The two insisted on their own words, and there was no common topic. After Xun Changqing straightened up, he took Wei Lingci and walked out. Bai Yan stretched out his arms at the door to stop the two of them. Xun Changqing turned around and glanced at Ana Yanran, "The princess said outside the barracks that she would keep the two of us safe and sound, and she regretted it so soon?"

"Bai Yan, let him go, this is the rule in the army!"

Upon hearing the order, Bai Yan withdrew her hands resentfully, and watched the two of them step out of the tent, her expression froze, her eyebrows tangled, "Princess, Wei Lingci must not let go."

Ana Yanran settled down, turned her eyes to the side, and said calmly: "Bai Yan, there are so many talents in the world of Daqi, so many masters, it's possible that you want to kill them all, it's too narrow-minded."

Bai Yan said anxiously: "Princess, Wei Ling's words are very scheming, and it will definitely be a big obstacle for us to defeat the enemy in the future. Besides, she is now in Jizhou, and I am afraid that Jizhou will be difficult to capture in front of me. You are letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles. You As long as the order is given, the subordinate can lead someone to kill her, you can rest assured that Xun Changqing will not be hurt."

Xun Changqing has always been a knot in Ana Yanran's heart, she is the one who came today, if someone else would have lost her head, Bai Yan knew her crux, so she would persuade her like this.

There were only two people in the tent, Ana Yanran remained silent, and Bai Yan jumped up anxiously, "Princess, there is no chance to regret it now, even if you withdraw your troops now, Xun Changqing will not look at you, and you can tell from just now She knows that you are not her mother anymore, so what good is it if you show mercy to her, the most important thing right now is to take the opportunity to capture Jizhou, lest it will be even more difficult when reinforcements come."

Sometimes thinking is one thing, doing it is another. In the news that Zhou Man sent back, every sentence is related to Wei Ling's poems. This man's scheming is unfathomable. In her hands, it is indeed a serious problem.

Anayan stared fixedly at the map of the imperial capital in her hand. The location of the Pingnan Palace was only the size of a dot. She pressed her fingertips on it a few times, feeling complicated in her heart. Guang Se, "Then you go, and don't hurt her unless it is absolutely necessary."

She used the word "don't" instead of "not allowed".Bai Yan's eyes flickered, her face was full of pride, she immediately took orders to go out of the tent, ordered a team of soldiers and horses, and chased away.

The person inside the tent pondered for a long time, listening to the voices outside the tent, and after the silence was restored, she slowly got up, ordered someone to bring the horse over, and rode away alone.

..........................................

After leaving the barracks, walk half a mile to the south, which is the official road.

When Bai Yan led people to chase them out, there were only fleeing people walking back and forth on the official road, and there was no trace of Wei Lingci and others. She hesitated for a moment, remembering that the horses of the two were both BMWs that traveled thousands of miles a day, and they were soldiers. These war horses are incomparable.

Thinking this way, he led the soldiers to chase in the direction of Jizhou.

And she didn't take into account the forests on both sides of the official road, where the trees are lush in summer, covering the sky and the sun, and the forest wind whistling in the ears, circling and topping.And Xun Changqing stood on the tree, parted the thick leaves and looked at the dust several people high on the official road, convinced that the person had gone far, and then jumped down.

She patted the dust off her body, "Master, how did you know that Ana Yanran would go back on what she said."

Wei Lingci pulled out a lot of grass and put it under the horse's hoof, and slowly fed the horse, "Bai Yan is a straightforward person, and her thoughts are all on her face, and Zhou Man is one of them, so she must know What happened in the imperial capital has something to do with us, in order to prevent my great enemy from confronting them later and delaying the battle, of course I would think of killing them first and then quickly."

"I told you not to come here, I don't know if they will go back and come back, putting themselves in danger for nothing." Xun Changqing glanced at her.

After feeding the two horses, Wei Lingci patted the horse's back and looked at her: "You should be very sad, but you still have the intention to train me. Are you not afraid that you will lose your life here?"

"With you here, why should I be afraid? You, a thousand-year-old fox, think so carefully about everything, how could you kill me?" Xun Changqing didn't care what she meant. What's the use, she is no longer an ignorant girl in her previous life, now that Ana Yanran wants to kill her, she just broke her own mind so as not to think about her every day.

Now, no one owes anyone, and I ask for a feeling of peace of mind.

Wei Lingci didn't expect her to think so openly, it kind of fits her current temperament, she treats others well when people treat her well, in terms of blood relationship, Xun Luo and Xun Yibai can both surpass Ana Yanran, she will horse Pulled out of the woods, turned over and jumped on the horseback, "We must take the official road here, and after a few miles, we can always avoid them by taking the path."

There are many mountains and few people in the barren and barren land, Bai Yan can only guess that they have already returned to Jizhou, and at most they will return after chasing outside the city of Jizhou, and they have already walked on the path by then.

Xun Changqing slowed her by half a step, jumped on the back of the horse and looked back, there was no one around, and after reining in, she said: "I feel like someone is watching us here."

Wei Lingci stopped holding the whip, looked around, shook his head and said: "There is no one here, it's better to leave quickly."

The wind passed silently, leaving only a few fallen green leaves.

The two drove away without waiting for a second word, but Xun Changqing always felt uneasy, and looked back from time to time, so he fell behind Wei Lingci a few steps, and the latter slowed down a little when he saw that she was slowing down.

The two drove side by side, one on the left and the other on the right. When they turned a sharp intersection, they both slowed down, but the wind became stronger. When Xun Changqing heard the movement, he looked back again. A black shadow pierced the sky in her eyes, and after a flash of panic, she abandoned her horse and rushed towards Wei Lingci who was beside her.

The sound of the hunting wind overwhelmed the sound of the iron piercing into the flesh. Before Wei Lingci had time to react, he and Xun Changqing suddenly lost their strength and fell heavily to the side, rolling a few times on the sandy ground on one side before stopping stature.

And in this fleeting moment, she saw the black robe and silver armor on the horse a hundred meters away, so familiar, but the next moment, she heard the sound of heavy breathing, and the palm of her hand seemed to be covered with liquid. It was dyed and slippery, she suddenly looked at the person lying in her arms, and called out in a low voice: "Changqing...Changqing..."

"I'm fine..." Xun Changqing struggled to sit up from her arms, but he couldn't use his right arm and fell into her arms again, scarlet blood slid down his slender fingertips.

Wei Lingci's heart was shocked, and he turned over her body in a panic. A half-broken arrow feather was inserted into Xunqing's right shoulder, and it was broken when he fell off the horse just now.She looked at Ma Xin's long body in the distance, her eyes were stern, "The princess turns back on what she says, how can I be handsome."

Ana Yanran stared blankly at the person lying in Wei Lingci's arms, her heart suddenly trembled, the familiar eyebrows and complex emotions were entangled in her heart again, as if a slight pain was slowly expanding, just a few dozen steps away The distance is like an abyss.

She didn't speak, but Wei Lingci's heart was overwhelmed. The expression on his face was pain, uneasiness, and remorse. All kinds of things were intertwined, forming a look of thin anger, but with a touch of strength, "Princess, you want to kill me. It's okay, it depends on whether you have the ability, your people may not be able to keep up."

Fighting alone, Ana Yanran may not win!
