White Feather Huaisha

Chapter 61 Hibiscus Water

——Hibiscus water——

Xie Luan, the new crown prince, felt uncomfortable, the first thing he did when he took office was to kneel under the corridor where the iron horses rattled.He knelt for a whole day, and the emperor was helped out by someone and took a look at him. There was regret in his dim eyes, but he didn't let go.

Beiji had been attacking the city for more than ten days, the city gates remained closed, Li Jungui continued to guard Chaogang, the Second Longqing Army continued to resist stubbornly, Xie Luan continued to bow his head and kneel until Yanyan hurried into the palace.

Yanyan was used to carrying a knife on her back, but someone removed the knife outside the palace. Walking in like this, she just felt as if she was going out without a back, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

The maids who came and went walked back and forth, seeing Yanyan salute with lowered eyebrows, then turned their heads and covered their mouths with a smile: "Young Princess is really weird."

It is said that she is the little princess, but in fact, she is more like Xie Luan's bodyguard.

When she was in Yehuling, she was a weird person, but when she came to Jinling, she would be even weirder when she was complemented by ladies and gentlemen with peach blossoms and red makeup who lowered their eyebrows and narrowed their eyes.

She is a tutor and born, she is different from "others", she can only wield knives and guns, she can't talk with her eyes down, and she can't talk and laugh gracefully.If she was asked to say a few polite words of Furu Donghai Shoubi Nanshan, her face was expressionless and she would blush in her heart.

Teenagers at her and Xie Luan's age are mostly teetering between the truth and fallacies, and there are many unconventional ones, but most of them finally admit defeat—"being the same as others" can give people a lot of trouble. Shaky young people provide countless senses of security, and Yanyan is no exception.

Xie Huai didn't care about this, and while chewing the pills, he offered a basket of fallacies in friendship: "It's all fart to have low eyebrows, pleasing eyes, and red sleeves to add fragrance, and they are all shortcomings, not advantages! If there is a real war, who doesn't like female generals?" what?"

Xie Luan and Yanyan agreed that Xie Huaifang's nonsense was of no reference—does he like female generals?He doesn't even like women.

Yanyan walked through the palace road, raised her robe uncomfortably, and knelt down beside Xie Luan.

At dusk, Xie Luan couldn't see any expression on that slender and beautiful side face, so he could only say in a hoarse voice, "Why are you kneeling?"

Yanyan didn't turn her head back, and replied stiffly: "Because you are kneeling. Aren't you the prince?"

Xie Luan choked.

He was hand-picked to sit in that ass-sucking dragon chair, was hand-picked to endure unknown years of coercion, and was hand-picked to prepare to work hard to break out of the cage and make a new day.He really wanted to be emperor, but it happened at this juncture.

——He didn't have to choose this series of bad things, he was just hit by a big rock on the head by Ding Dong.

Yanyan also knew that he had no choice, but she couldn't stop Yanyan from getting angry.The person who had fought bloody battles outside the city for five days was Yanyan's own brother, who had changed places. If it was Xie Luan who was so tricked, he would have already raised his knife to kill him.

Xie Luan only listened to the sound of the wind whistling through, and after a long time, he said slowly, "Stop kneeling, it's cold on the ground, and you'll have a stomachache again when you turn around."

Yanyan didn't say a word.

Xie Luan continued: "Kneeling is useless. They won't open the city gate."

He knew in his heart that half of the city gate was closed because of him.As long as he is not enthroned, the gates of the city will not be opened.He knelt here, most of it was because he had nothing to do, and wanted to feel at ease.

Only then did Yanyan turn her face, "Just know. Go back."

The two have gotten along since they were young, and they know the meaning of many things without saying them.Xie Luan let out a "hmm" and stretched out his hand to help Yanyan. As soon as he stretched out his hand, his stiff knee, which had been kneeling for a long time, felt a sharp pain, and he quickly supported the ground with a "hiss".

In the past, Yanyan, who was sometimes too strong in motherhood, probably wanted to carry the child on her back.But Xie Luan is almost fourteen, and he has become a prince with a conscience.

Yanyan paid no attention to him, stood up and patted her robe, picked up Xie Luan who was suffering from leg cramps with one hand, casually hung it on her shoulder, filled the gap of the full moon scimitar with the new crown prince, like the wind Rolled out of the royal city.

Prince Rong's Mansion is still some distance away, and the two children ride on the same horse, walking more and more slowly.

The siege of Beiji City lasted more than ten days, and in Jinling City, there was food and grass that Xie Jiang foresighted out. Although it is still not unresolved, but after all, besides the common people, there are tens of thousands of troops outside the city. The belts are getting tighter and tighter. Everyone of the Venerable Master had a disheveled complexion, which was set off by the red sunset, making them even more miserable.

A line of military horses passed by in the dust, and one of them suddenly reined in the horse, dismounted the horse in a polite manner, and saluted, "Your Highness."

Xie Luan stared at him for a while before he recognized that this was Huben's lieutenant general Wei Ming'an who had been knocked down by his grandfather.

After all, Wei Mingan was the former general of the Huben Army, if he were to be abolished, the Huben Army might cause trouble, so Li Jungui assigned him a heavy job, which was to defend the northwest corner of the city.

Wei Mingan probably went to deliver orders elsewhere. He was sweating from running, wiped his head, and said, "The city is in great chaos. The last general is going to the station. It seems to be on the same road. The last general will escort His Highness back to the residence."

I will be cowardly, Wei Mingan has been timid and fearful for ten years, and his subordinates are all carved out of the same mold. At a glance, he can see that these two brats are a little bit mean, so he immediately waved his hands, "General, what about that?" But the front line!"

Wei Mingan hesitated to speak, turned his back and glared at the group of subordinates who advised him not to cause trouble.

Xie Luan reacted immediately.General Wei shouldn't have any work running around, it seems that he came here specially to intercept him.

Everyone has done this, Xie Luan can't justify pretending to be blind again, he waved his hand lightly, "Lead the way."

Wei Mingan took Xie Luan to the northwest of the city slowly, passed by Prince Rong's Mansion, and did not stop, but pointed to the front, "Do you want to go to Changning Temple to have a look, Your Highness?"

On the northwest corner of Jinling is Changning Temple, with a stupa sandwiched between two city walls.Monks can still come in and out of the stupa to this day, indirectly communicating with the inside and outside. This temple can also be regarded as a serious problem for Jinling's defense.

When Xie Huai was guarding Jinling, he repeatedly tried to push the broken tower on the wall to build the city wall, but they were all rejected by the group of great scholars who made a fortune in poetry and rites. .As for what King Huai was saying, no one was actually listening.

Xie Luan let out a "huh" and walked forward absent-mindedly.

In the depths of the Buddhist temple is the stupa, which was assigned by Wei Mingan, and there is no one under the pagoda.Xie Luan stopped and said, "General Wei, please speak."

Wei Mingan was a little embarrassed, Xie Luan said again: "The Princess is not an outsider."

Yanyan sharpened her toes as it should, and she really didn't treat herself as an outsider.

Wei Mingan was not afraid of death anymore, he took out a key from his sleeve, opened the copper door lock at the bottom of the tower, walked in with a face of "I'm not afraid of death when I'm about to die", and stepped up two dark stairs. Light up a wall lamp, "Go up to the top of the pagoda, then go down to the bottom of the pagoda, you will be outside the city...His Royal Highness, please persuade King Huai."

He has never been so bold in his life, and he really said these words with a dying heart.

Unexpectedly, Xie Luan touched the door lock, "Go on."

The orange-red light in the tower reflected on the young man's face, it was a kind of bright red that gave people an unpredictable look, which was very disproportionate to his age and very commensurate with his status.

Wei Mingan gritted his teeth, lifted his robe and knelt down, "Your Highness knows better than me what King Huai is like. He is indeed not a virtuous man...but he will not be a traitor either. The king's worries are actually unnecessary."

He guarded Yehu Ridge for several years conscientiously, and he stumbled for three years in the Huben Army. Both bright careers fell into Xie Huai's hands, but if he really wanted to blame Xie Huai, he couldn't blame him.

Xie Huai didn't say a word, but there was an air of seductive dependence in his bones.Wei Mingan felt that you can let him carry the sun on his back, you can let him carry the mountains and rivers on his back, you can let him carry no amount of unhappiness or dissatisfaction, anyway, he won't be more frustrated.

Wei Ming'an continued: "Prince Huai and Your Majesty, please give in, maybe the Huben army will be able to leave the city?... Jinling City, I really can't wait."

Xie Luan walked up, only then did he realize that the Changning Pagoda was actually a wooden pagoda.He had seen wooden pagodas in books, and the craftsmen of the previous dynasty were so skillful, this craftsmanship has been lost now.

He climbed up the steps, getting higher and higher, only to feel that when he reached out his hand, it was the cloud.When he reached the top floor, he pushed open a door, turned down, and went down another nine floors, which was beyond the city wall.

The prince walked out of the tower slowly, closed his eyes, and finally smelled the familiar smell of blood from the wind.

The smell of blood, the smell of swords, and the smell of medicine are all combined together to form "Big Brother".

Yanyan said in a low voice, "We all know each other."

Xie Luan nodded.The defense under the tower seems to be lax, but they can recognize that many of them are the elite of the Qingzhou Army. It can be seen that they deliberately look "loose" to prevent the Beiji people from attacking the tower seriously.

In Xie Huai's hands, Jinling is like an exquisite small bonsai, every beard and hair can't escape the calculation, but it's a pity that it doesn't count enough.

A small group of Beiji scouts patrolled the side, and one of them approached, intending to see clearly who the two unfamiliar faces were.Yanyan pulled out the scimitar and pushed it forward quickly. The paper-cut moon-like thin and sharp tip cut a semicircle. The moonlight lightly cut the throat of a Beiji man, and blood splashed out. .

She wanted to attack further, but the soldiers had already surrounded the small group of scouts with a roar.

Xie Luan pulled her over, wiped the blood from the corner of her eyes with his thumb, "Sloppy."

Yanyan's long and curly eyelashes drooped down, covering her blushing cheeks from the force, "Don't dawdle, you have to go back, how many people are staring at you."

Xie Luan raised the corner of his mouth, then pressed it down again, turned his head to show Xiao Bing the seal of the Eastern Palace in Lu's hand, and asked, "Where is His Highness King Huai?"

A few miles away, Su Yu was also asking, "Have you seen King Huai?"

The battle below the city was bloody and sandy, and the soldier wiped the blood from his face, sniffled his nose, and shook his head blankly, "I didn't see it."
