The battle report from Northern Xinjiang was sent back to the capital, three days after the return of the third prince.And during these three days, there have been many rumors in the capital, some rumored that the northern border was defeated, some rumored that the prince was incompetent, and even more directly rumored that the prince had died in the battle in northern border...

There were all kinds of rumors, all kinds of rumors, and in the end they all targeted the prince, but no one mentioned the third prince who closed the house and thought about it.

Lu Qipei is still on his wedding leave, and he stayed in the mansion with Qi Yang for the past two days.Three days after their marriage, they originally wanted to move into the princess mansion, but something happened in northern Xinjiang. The prince's life and death were unknown, and the two lost the mood to move.In addition, the Lu family also had some connection with Rong Guo, and they might find some clues if they stayed, so the two simply postponed the time of moving.

In the warm room, the two sat around the stove, and Lu Qipei cooked tea casually.

Qi Yang was sitting next to her, looking at her with his chin resting on his hand, but his eyes were a little distracted, as if he was absent-minded.

It wasn't until a cup of hot tea was placed in front of her, and the dense white mist rose with the fragrance of the tea, that Qi Yang blinked his eyes as if regaining consciousness, and smiled at Lu Qipei again.

Lu Qipei had no choice but to lightly tap the corners of her lips that were used to upturning: "Such a perfunctory smile, let's say goodbye."

Qi Yang didn't force himself in front of her, as expected he put away his smile.He didn't want to speak for a while, so he took a sip of the tea cup in front of him.Tea is good tea, the soup color is clear, the taste is sweet, and the faint tea fragrance seems to be able to soothe the worries and anxiety in the bottom of the heart.

Lu Qipei also picked up the teacup and took a sip. Seeing that Qi Yang beside him frowned soothed, he asked, "Still worried about the prince?"

Qi Yang looked at her sideways, and then lowered his eyes: "With Brother Huang here, you and I will be safe in the future."

Lu Qipei understood what she meant, and after hearing this, he lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "I think that the crown prince may be fine this time." After speaking, he explained without waiting for Qi Yang to ask: "How respectful the position of the crown prince is, if he is really here If something happens on the battlefield, even if the commander is terrified, he will never dare to hide it. Especially now that the third prince is returning to Beijing first, the news cannot be hidden."

Qi Yang sat up slightly, looking serious: "You mean..."

Looking at her appearance, Lu Qipei knew she had guessed it, so he nodded and said: "From what I see, the crown prince suppressed the news himself, and now only he himself can suppress the news." After finishing speaking, he paused, He also said: "The crown prince knows that the third prince will return to the capital, but suppresses the news of the northern border. Maybe he has other plans."

There is no need for Lu Qipei to mention the confrontation between the two brothers, just look at the rumors circulating in Beijing and China.

However, since the prince still has the mind to distract himself from the situation in Beijing, his situation in northern Xinjiang must not be too bad.

Qi Yang is not stupid, Lenovo also finds the current situation quite strange.After listening to Lu Qipei's explanation, she relaxed a lot, and her brows and eyes stretched: "Then tell me, when will the news from Northern Xinjiang come?"

Lu Qipei thought for a while and then replied: "If the prince is okay, it will not be long, just two days."

She was right. The next day, the two of them received the latest battle report from Northern Xinjiang—the two cities of Huai and Ping were attacked and destroyed.

In the battle in Northern Xinjiang, the prince's counterattack was extremely swift and violent.Caught off guard, he lost two important places in Huaicheng and Pingcheng. The prince was wounded and fled to Jingcheng.

He poured his troops into the city and attacked without hesitation about his own safety. He caught the Pingcheng Rongjun who had not yet gained a firm foothold by surprise, and even the invaded food and grass had not had time to be removed or destroyed by the opponent.Afterwards, the army in front also got the news and began to come back to help, together with the Liang army who took back Pingcheng, they flanked the Rong army who captured Huaicheng, and finally wiped out all the villains along with them.

The two cities that were lost almost within a day were regained within a day or two.But the prince's revenge didn't stop there, he also asked people to find out the strong men in the army, put on the clothes and armor of the army, and "flee" back on their horses...

The inside should cooperate with the outside, a fierce battle, the balance of victory can be imagined.

After watching the battle report, Qi Yang raised his eyebrows and couldn't help sighing: "It feels so stupid."

This is naturally about the Rongjun. After reading the battle report, many people felt that this battle was like a joke, and it was too easy for the prince to turn the tables.Those Rongjun who made a detour to sneak attack didn't know what to think, they looked as if they were here to give the crown prince a chance.

Lu Qipei also nodded when he heard the words: "It's quite stupid, and quite greedy." Seeing Qi Yang look over after speaking, he casually mentioned: "Pingcheng stores grain and grass, Huaicheng used to do business with Rongguo, and both places are rich."

Qi Yang didn't need her to go on, he already understood: "The Rong army sneaked into the rear, and even exposed the secrets hidden in the city. The attack on Huaicheng was for the emperor's brother, and the attack on Pingcheng was for food. Their purpose was not to bring people or food back. , but destroyed on the spot. Only brother Huang was lucky and escaped, but the food and grass in Pingcheng attracted the eyes of those soldiers, so they were not willing to destroy it for a while."

In the final analysis, Rongguo is still established, and the thoughts of those tribal fighters have not had time to change in the future.They were used to plundering in the Liang Kingdom, and they only wanted to move the good things back to their own tribe. How could they be willing to destroy the piles of grain and grass?Seeing the gold and silver all over the city, why can't you resist grabbing them?

So back and forth, the people who should be killed were not killed, and the food and grass that should be destroyed were not destroyed.Even those who were supposed to leave after the First World War were dragged down by the food and money. In the end, Liang Jun, who quickly counterattacked, stayed behind forever, and sent a batch of equipment by the way.

Lu Qipei finally concluded quietly: "This time he is too anxious."

As the northern Xinjiang battle report was sent back, a storm disappeared invisible.

The winter solstice is coming soon, and there is another military incident this year, so the emperor took the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and several princes to the Circular Mound to worship the sky.Even Lu Qipei and Qi Yang were brought together, but the third prince who was thinking about the past was left alone, as if he had been completely forgotten.

In fact, as the battle report from Northern Xinjiang came back, the specific news of the two battles in Huaicheng and Hepingcheng also came back, and everyone soon discovered the tricky thing—the two cities were captured almost on the same day, but the third prince returned. But he told the emperor that it was because the prince was defeated and disappeared, which affected the morale of the army and made him fall into Pingcheng.What does this mean?Get rid of frame?It's more than that when I think about it!

In the carriage heading to Yuanqiu, Qi Yang tilted his head and leaned on Lu Qipei's shoulder, and his tone was rarely gloating: "Brother Sanhuang has shot himself in the foot with a rock this time, and Emperor Father has already detested him."

Lu Qipei hooked a lock of Qi Yang's beautiful hair with his slender fingers and wrapped it around his fingertips, and said, "The third prince is really not very smart."

Of course, Qi Yang and the third prince had enmity. In the previous life, Qi Yang ended up dying, most of which were written by the third prince.It's just that everything happened in a hurry in this life, and before Qi Yang had time to set up a plan to take revenge on him, he put himself in a situation beyond redemption.

Pingcheng and Huaicheng were destroyed on the same day, and the third prince was defeated and fled back to Beijing. How did he know that the Prince City was broken and disappeared?There is also the matter of breaking the city. There were indeed rebels in Huaicheng, and the city gate was opened to let the Rong army enter the city.But the investigation in Pingcheng was very strange. After repeated investigations, they failed to find out who the secret agent who opened the city gate was. In the end, the faint clue pointed to the third prince.

The matter has not been verified, so of course the prince would not write it in the battle report, but he wrote all the clues and evidence in the secret report to Datian Listening.How the emperor decides, whether he believes it or not, he doesn't care.

Of course, judging from the current situation, the emperor believed it, or at least became suspicious.

And these Lu Qipei and Qi Yang didn't know, only Qi Yang vaguely figured out a little about the emperor.The young couple chatted nonchalantly, and the topic quickly moved away from the third prince.

Lu Qipei turned his head to look at the person leaning on her shoulder, and asked, "A'Ning, when shall we move to the Princess Mansion?"

Speaking of which, this time the Princess Mansion was chosen by the two of them together, changed the plans together, and supervised the construction together.It was just delayed due to the disappearance of the prince, and the move has not yet been put on the agenda.

Qi Yang leaned on her shoulder without moving, thought for a while and said: "Let's live here for a full month, and then move after one month."

Lu Qipei was puzzled: "Didn't you agree to stay in Lu's mansion for three days after getting married, and then move to the princess mansion after three days?"

Hearing this, Qi Yang finally sat up straight, looking at Lu Qipei's vaguely dissatisfied look a little funny: "Before I didn't think carefully. You and I just got married, so you moved with me to the princess mansion, moving too fast for your reputation I'm afraid it's not very good."

It is actually not uncommon for a son-in-law to stay with the princess in the princess mansion, on the contrary, it is a proof of the love between husband and wife.But Lu Qipei is a little different from others, her background is not high, the longer Qi Yang stays with her in Lu's house, the more he can prove how much he values ​​her.On the contrary, if the princess only lived in the "husband's house" for three days and then hurriedly moved back to the princess mansion, some people would suspect that the princess was not happy with the "husband's house".

It's a very biased and nonsensical speculation, but there are really people who think this way, and there are quite a few people.

Maybe the young couple doesn't care about this, but unnecessary troubles can be saved—at least in Qi Yang's heart, she doesn't want Lu Qipei to be despised, and it doesn't matter if she stays at Lu's house for a few more days.

Qi Yang also jokingly said: "A Pei is so anxious to move back to the princess mansion with me, and I'm not afraid of others saying that you will eat soft food as a married man."

Lu Qipei blinked, with an innocent face on his face: "My little salary must be inferior to that of the princess, isn't it just eating soft food?" She leaned slightly and leaned against Qi Yang, her voice softened: "Then will your Highness let me eat?"

Such actions, such words, the invisible ambiguity seems to be breeding in this small carriage.

When the two were newly married, Qi Yang was almost seduced by her specious words.She lowered her eyes slightly to meet Lu Qipei's eyes, those dark eyes seemed to be as clear as before, and there seemed to be something more...

Qi Yang opened his mouth, trying to tell her to restrain himself on the road, but before he could speak, he was blocked by a pair of lips.

After a while, a voice sounded: "Move when you get back, okay?"

"it is good."
