General

When Chu Xiao received the imperial decree, it was already the afternoon of the second day. Lan Zheng did not return to the Prince Regent's Mansion last night, and today he skipped the morning court. Even if the guards stationed in the Dragon Cloud Palace did not need to report to him, he knew what happened.

He sighed lowly, although it was his duty to protect the safety of the emperor, but he had seen Lan Xuan's heartfelt fear of the regent more than once.

After all, he lost his job...

Chu Xiao picked up the saber, slowly pushed open the gate of the Forbidden Army Barracks and walked out, a burst of warm breath rushed over her face.The sun is very good, and the blue sky is so clear that there is no cloud. The bright light covers the body, but it seems to be isolated from the gold armor and silver helmet, and can never shine into the bottom of my heart.

……

The gate of Prince Jing's Mansion was slowly opened in the setting sun, and the projected light was like a golden carpet, spreading straight into the gorgeous courtyard.A group of Royal Forest Army quickly lined up on both sides of the main road, holding spears and standing straight, Chu Xiao walked through the gilded gate without looking sideways, and went straight to Chenghuan Hall with the guards.

"Chu Xiao!"

As soon as Fang entered the door, he heard Lan Jin softly calling out happily, but turned his face down as if realizing something, and protested displeasedly, "Why did Brother Xuan pick me up so soon?! Me and I haven't had enough of 'Black Hair'!"

After saying that, he took a meaningful look at Ling Feng who was standing behind Lanjing.

The corner of Ling Feng's mouth twitched slightly, and he shivered fiercely.On the surface she pretended to be very calm, but in her heart she wished she could pounce on that unsmiling dull gourd and knock her head a few times, telling him to take this tormenting aunt back to the palace!

"The regent's meaning."

Chu Xiao replied blankly, turned around, and respectfully bowed to Lan Jing as a general.

"That bastard is too lenient!" Lan Jin stomped her feet angrily, and gritted her teeth, "It doesn't matter where I live!"

"Go back, don't embarrass the emperor." Lan Jing looked at her angrily, although her tone was light, her heart was cheering uncontrollably. After sending this little witch away, wouldn't he have a lot of time and money? Did Li Xuan enjoy their time together?

Although it's been more than half a month since they got married, their newlyweds' life...has just begun!

"Brother Jing..." Lan Jin tried to reach out and tug on his sleeve, in case she wanted to act coquettishly.

But Lan Jing had already seen her tricks, she quietly took half a step back, and pretended to hide by Li Xuan's side inadvertently.

Lan Jin wasted no time, retracted her hand embarrassingly, and gouged Lan Jing hard with her eye knife.But Lan Jing turned to Chu Xiao as if she didn't see it at all, and said, "I'll send someone to take care of it immediately, and I will trouble Commander Chu to take care of the princess along the way."

Seeing that he didn't keep him on purpose, Chu Xiao's eyes flashed gratitude. He nodded lightly, and his voice became deeper and stronger: "Thank you, my lord, for your compassion."

Little did they know that Lanjing was grateful to him for being able to send the princess away earlier.

Seeing that the two of them left her aside and reached a consensus privately, Lan Jin was very upset, but she was helpless against this hard-nosed commander of the Forbidden Army.

She looked at the two of them back and forth, but seeing that there was no room for change in this matter, she could only snort bitterly, then turned and walked towards her bedroom.

……

A group of chariots and horses drove away from King Jing's mansion, and Lan Jing and Ling Feng stood outside the gate and heaved a sigh of relief.

Ling Feng looked at the troops of the imperial guards gradually disappearing in the market, and suddenly such a thought came to his mind.If one day, some unsuspecting prince marries Princess Jin, he must secretly light a candle for that person, and commemorate the tragic fate he will face in the second half of his life in advance...

Just when Ling Feng was still deep in thought, a seemingly ordinary bird song sounded quietly from a distance, and it was almost difficult to distinguish it unless someone with high martial arts skills.With a serious expression on his face, he immediately raised his head to look at Lan Jing, only to see that the man was pulling Li Xuan and walking quickly towards Cheng Huan Hall, his face was full of joy, and he didn't notice what happened at all.

Ling Feng didn't say much, but took a few steps back respectfully, jumped out of the vermilion wall after a short jump, and quickly swept towards the voice.

While walking, Li Xuan turned his head quietly, looking towards the direction where Ling Feng disappeared, a icy gleam flashed across his bright eyes, with some faint doubts...

The two returned to the dormitory, Lan Jing was lazily leaning by the window, holding a cup of fragrant tea and slowly sipping, Li Xuan sat alone at the low table and carefully read the book of war.

Lan Jing narrowed her eyes slightly in the sunlight, and looked at the man lovingly. He always had an indescribable charm with his focused expression, which made him a little obsessed.He watched intently as he gently flipped through the pages of books. At this moment, it seemed that the whole dormitory was filled with a sweet atmosphere.

"My lord, my subordinate Ling Feng."

Ling Feng's loud voice rang out inappropriately, startling Lan Jing, the teacup in his hand shook violently, almost spilling the tea all over his body.He frowned, glanced displeasedly at Li Xuan who was looking out at the same time, and snorted softly: "Come in."

Unexpectedly, when Ling Feng came in, his expression was uncharacteristically solemn.

He knelt down in front of Lan Jing, lowered his head, and reported seriously: "My lord, I have something important to report."

"Let's talk." Lan Jing hesitated slightly, and looked at him with eyes full of confusion.

However, Ling Feng just looked at Li Xuan without saying a word, then lowered his eyes again, and whispered cautiously: "My lord."

How could Li Xuan not understand what Ling Feng meant, so he dropped the ancient book in his hand, lifted his clothes and stood up slowly: "If it is inconvenient for outsiders to be present, I can avoid it..."

"No need." Lan Jing interrupted Li Xuan lightly, squinting at Ling Feng's straight back with downcast eyes, and said in a deep voice, "There are no outsiders here."

"Yes..." Seeing that Lan Jing had no intention of hiding from him, Ling Feng stopped refuting, but raised his head to look at Lan Jing's rarely serious face, and lowered his voice, saying, "The old man with the white beard that Princess Jin mentioned is subordinate After it has been found out, it is... Yuan Ming, the national teacher of Feng Yu Kingdom at that time."

"Master Fengyu Kingdom?!" The two raised their eyebrows in astonishment at the same time, a little unbelievable for a moment.Lan Jing slowly took two steps closer to Ling Feng, and continued to ask with a frown, "Why do the people of Fengyu Kingdom get mixed up with the regent king?? They can still walk around in our palace of Longxiao Kingdom!! "

"I'm afraid... it has something to do with the incident a few years ago..."

Ling Feng's bright black eyes quietly looked towards Lan Jing, a flickering light flickered under the soft warm sun.

"You mean..." Lan Jing froze on the spot suddenly, hesitated for a long time with her arms stiff, and then suddenly realized that she turned her head and looked at Li Xuan, as if she wanted to ask him for proof, "The time of cede land for peace..."

"Your Highness is wise." Ling Feng lowered his head, his flattering face was neither red nor out of breath, and he was actually quite confident.

"Father back then advocated sending troops to Feng Yu to take back the three cities ceded for no reason, but unexpectedly, he was strongly opposed by the regent. The two disagreed, and even made a big fuss in the court."

Li Xuan sneered coldly, then slowly returned to the table and sat down again with the hem of his clothes lightly lifted, and continued to say in a deep voice, "Because Li Xueshi came forward to intercede, in the end he only dismissed his father as a general and formally transferred the Northwest The military power was hereditary to me."

"Since this incident, my father has been controlled by the regent in the capital. He has been depressed and almost became ill. However, Mrs. Li Xue feels that she has made a lot of contributions and is more and more bossy in the mansion." He half leaned against the gorgeous little On the couch, her eyes stayed on the intricate pattern embroidered with gold silk among the camel-hair carpets, staring at it motionless, "It's better for me to stay in the northwest border, but Li Su has to work much harder."

"I also heard about this incident, but I was playing in the south of the Yangtze River at that time, and everything was settled after I came back. Although I was angry, there was nothing I could do." Lan Jing sighed inaudibly, even after so many years, that But the matter is still stuck in the throat, "If we can find that Yuan Ming now, it will be equivalent to the evidence that the regent is collaborating with the enemy. I don't believe that he can absolve himself of such a serious crime!"

"It's just..." Ling Feng bit his lips slightly, and shook his head solemnly, "This old man is proficient in strange literature and magic, and has won the favor of the current Emperor Fengyu. It is said that King Fengyu died suddenly in autumn last year. When he became the crown prince, the two most powerful princes under his knees fought fiercely, and the current little emperor was able to ascend the throne smoothly because of his help, so he was directly named the master of the country."

"Wouldn't it be even more difficult to find out the truth about the emperor's serious illness from him?" Lan Jing sighed slightly, the more she listened, the more hopeless she felt.

"Yes." Ling Feng's eyes darkened, but he hesitated slightly, then changed his subject, and continued, "But it's not that there is nothing we can do."

"Why?" Lan Jing raised her eyebrows in surprise, a gleam of joy quietly bloomed on her face that was originally as calm as water.

"I heard that after the new emperor of Fengyu Kingdom ascended the throne, the little prince who used to be evenly matched with him fled to Longxiao. Someone found him in the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River a few months ago." Ling Feng lowered his voice and said every word. He said seriously, "Although he is defeated, his power in the court will not disintegrate overnight. If we can catch him and exchange with those veterans who are loyal to him, maybe some people will be willing to give the country The master quietly tied it up and sent it to us."

"This...is it really feasible??" Lan Jing originally thought it was a trick up her sleeve, but after hearing it, she couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. Now that the little prince is defeated and defected, everyone who stays in the court must be in danger. Who would dare to run out? Capture that emperor's favorite minister for them?

"Although I'm not sure, it's worth a try." Just when Lan Jing hesitated to make a decision, Li Xuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly gave a low chuckle, and raised his chin at Ling Feng as if approving, jokingly He said, "The new emperor has just come to power, so it is inevitable that his foundation is not stable. Even if he cannot be exchanged for the national teacher, he is still a rare chess piece. It is much better than eating, sleeping and sleeping in this palace all day long."

Lan Jing glanced at him sideways, knowing that these words must be ironic about his heartless life, but she didn't feel annoyed, she just patted Ling Feng's shoulder in embarrassment, and ordered in a low voice Said: "This king knows, that...you go down first."

"Yes." Ling Feng pursed his lips knowingly, bowed and retreated.

When the footsteps gradually faded away, Lan Jing feigned displeasure and walked to Li Xuan's side, raised her hand and snatched the military book he held between her fingers, stared at him intently with those clear phoenix eyes, and raised her lips Teased: "The general is in such a hurry to go to the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, is it because he heard that there are many beauties there?"

Li Xuan froze his hands and raised his eyes to look at him in surprise.Seeing that he was frowning at the moment, with a look of jealousy on his face, he suddenly smiled and raised his lips, leaned over slightly, grabbed his slender wrist with a little force, and dragged him into the In the soft couch room.
