Your Highness, want to run after flirting?

In the next few days, the wind and waves in Xunyang gradually calmed down. After Lan Ziqing dealt with the problems left over by the Chao clan in an orderly manner, he gradually became more relaxed.

During the day, he accompanied the restless Su Danchen on a boat trip on the lake, outings, and enjoying the scenery. At night, Su Danchen would obediently lie on his lap, pick a book from the shelf, and accompany him to read at night by the light.

During the period, Su Danchen specially made some sweet-scented osmanthus mooncakes with his own hands and brought them to Lan Ziqing. When Lan Ziqing saw it, she had an indescribably strange expression, and picked up one of them with trembling white fingertips, as if she had acquired something. Incredible baby.

It's strange for Su Danchen to see it.

Occasionally, when the night sky is clear and the stars are shining brightly, Lan Ziqing will order someone to light up the lampposts in the plum grove, and sit in the Moon Pavilion with Su Danchen in the moonlit plum grove, drinking two glasses of plum wine with him .

Every time at this time, Su Danchen's moist and innocent peach blossom eyes look extraordinarily bright, and he keeps talking happily.

He is a talkative person, especially when he is in a happy mood, he always has something to say, and an extremely boring trifle that comes out of his mouth makes people feel full of wit.

Lan Ziqing listened quietly from the side, with a slight smile on her lips, and love in her dark eyes.

The fragrance of plum blossom wine permeates the whole plum grove.

It's so sweet that it makes people intoxicated.

This is really the happiest and sweetest time since the two of them dated.

Lan Ziqing forgot about restoring the country, the crown prince, and her identity.

There is no Liu Hanyan, no Ying Xuan, no Yunmo around Su Danchen.

Just him and him.

What the world says is to hold the hand of the son and grow old together with the son, nothing more than this.

However, there is a saying in the world that good times don't last long.

In the middle of the night, Lan Ziqing, who had always been sleepy, was awakened by the sound of "cuckling" pigeons, gently lifted the quilt out of bed, and looked at the sleeping handsome face on the bed to make sure that he hadn't been awakened by himself After that, Fang put on his clothes and went out of the house.

There was a cold silver light in the courtyard outside the house. A snow-white pigeon was staying on a rose branch. When it saw people coming out, it made a "cuckoo" sound from its hairy throat, flapping its wings, and flying. To Lan Ziqing's shoulder.

Lan Ziqing caught the pigeon, took off the bamboo tube at its feet, and let the pigeon fly.

He poured out a thin roll of paper from the bamboo tube and slowly opened it.

I don't know what was written on the paper, but after he read it, a faint light flashed in his ink eyes, and his elegant face was chilled and cold by the silver light.

In the evening of the second day, Lan Ziqing was flipping through an ancient blue book in the study, when Su Danchen rushed in from outside with a happy face.

"Ziqing...I...I..."

His face was covered with sweat, his handsome face was flushed from panting, and for some reason, his peach blossom eyes were full of excitement.

Lan Ziqing hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, asking what happened.

Su Danchen drank the tea in one gulp, wiped his lips with the silk handkerchief Lan Ziqing handed over, and said excitedly, "My Uncle Yin is coming back!"

The smile faltered on Lan Ziqing's lips, she lowered her eyes, stroked the cuff of her left hand with her right hand wrapped in thick white gauze, and said, "Your Highness said, but General Yin Ting?"

"Yes, it's him!"

"Your Highness seems to have a deep friendship with General Yin Ting."

"That's natural. Uncle Yin watched me grow up. I was naughty when I was a child, and I often caused troubles. When I was punished by my father to kneel, it was Uncle Yin who pleaded for me. Uncle Yin taught me even my martial arts." of……"

Su Danchen's staring eyes began to chatter about that "Uncle Yin", how brave and unrestrained he was, before he finished, he added, "He is the most handsome man I have ever lived in this world." Dear man."

Su Danchen was immersed in the joy of General Yin Ting's upcoming return to the court, and even ignored Lan Ziqing's obvious startle. After noticing the strange expression on his face, he blinked a pair of bright and innocent peach blossom eyes, and asked cautiously: "Ziqing, have I been talking about Uncle Yin, did you get angry?"

Lan Ziqing was amused by his words, pinched his cheek affectionately, and said softly: "In your Highness's heart, is this minister so intolerant?"

"How come. In my heart, Ziqing, you have always been magnanimous."

Su Danchen uttered words that contradicted the facts without blushing, these sweet words really made Lan Ziqing smile.

Seeing that Lan Ziqing was in a happy mood, Su Danchen boldly proposed to meet General Yin Ting at the city gate.

Lan Ziqing pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Su Danchen hugged his graceful neck happily, kissed Ruyu's face deeply before running out the door.

Lan Ziqing looked at the empty door, the smile on his lips disappeared little by little, and he took out a piece of snow-white paper from his left cuff, on which was clearly written a line of simple and elegant words in black and white.

If you want to kill the old thief, first get rid of Yin Ting.

Lan Ziqing stared at the paper for a long time, wondering what was in his mind, the light in his eyes changed violently, and after a long time, it fell into silence.

General Yin Ting defeated the enemy, and on the night when his troops returned to court, Emperor Yang held a celebration banquet in the palace.

This night, the night was as bright as washing, and the bright stars filled the entire night sky. At a glance, the night sky was shining.

Except for the crown prince Suyu who was ill, the ninth prince who was exiled to the frontier, and the tenth prince who had gone to the place and had not returned, all the other princes, grandchildren and nobles were present.

On the left side of the long flowing water seat sat the harem concubines and the prince's grandchildren. The leader was of course the empress Chao Xiu, who was the mother of the world. The civil and military officials, headed by Prime Minister Lan Ziqing, sat on the right seat.

It is worth mentioning that Concubine Li went to Foyuan Temple to pray for blessings a few days ago, but has not returned so far, so she was not at the celebration banquet.

Sima Li, a bachelor, has not recovered from the wind and cold, so he was not at the celebration banquet.

Emperor Yangdi, crowned and dressed in a dragon robe, was sitting on a high seat, with a stern face like a knife, with the interest of looking down on the world and being the only one.

On the luxurious and exquisite red carpet in the middle are several dancers with light bodies and dancing.

The kings and grandchildren on both sides listened to the melodious silk and bamboo, enjoyed the intoxicating song and dance in the center, and raised wine to talk about the heroic deeds of General Yin Ting who defeated the enemy and won a complete victory in the area of ​​Silent Valley Ridge.

At first glance, this battle is the general of the great country leading the elite lions to repel the menacing Yanjiang barbarians once again.

In fact, the battle of "Silent Valley Ridge" was far more dangerous and shocking than people imagined.

It must be known that General Yin Ting was leading thousands of cavalry to patrol the lower city when he was suddenly attacked by tens of thousands of Yanjiang barbarians and besieged in Qingzhou city. In the end, he turned defeat into victory and defeated the enemy.

Such a perfect battle of winning more with less is enough to be recorded in history.

Book, handed down to future generations.

The king's grandchildren, civil and military officials, talked exaggeratedly, one by one, as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes.

"Third Highness, do you think I'm right?"

Su Danchen's shoulder was suddenly tapped heavily, he raised his head, it turned out to be one of his good friends.

"Right what?"

The man repeated the words again, it turned out that he was arguing with others about how General Yin Ting won the victory, several people disagreed with each other, and the dispute could not be settled, so he came to Su Danchen.

Su Danchen was wholeheartedly waiting for the coming Yin court, so he made nonsense when he didn't have the heart to argue about it.

Seeing his appearance, the man in the brocade robe and jade crown suddenly smiled and said: "Third Highness, you have been in a hurry lately. I have been to your residence several times, but I have repeatedly rushed to nothing."

One sentence attracted the other princes and grandchildren sitting next to him.

"Brother Chen, you haven't been walking around with your brother recently."

"Yes, yes, Third Highness, don't tell me you've taken a fancy to some beauty again, and you're too busy to show courteousness there."

Several princes and grandchildren suddenly burst into laughter.

Su Danchen had the best face, when he was teased like this, his handsome face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Stop talking nonsense, when did this king show hospitality to someone?"

"That's right, the hospitality of the Third Highness is dedicated to Miss Hanyan alone."

Several Xunyang romantics formed a group in front of Su Danchen's table, chatting and laughing, playing and making trouble, they really lived up to their reputation as romantic dudes.

This scene attracted an indifferent gaze.

Su Danchen always felt chills all over his body. When he looked up, he passed the dancer with fluttering sleeves, and saw another person in a purple and gold official gown with a picturesque face, sitting under the vast starry sky, with a smile that was not a smile, and was icy cold. Stare at yourself coldly.

Su Danchen's heart suddenly rang out.

Too bad, Ziqing doesn't like interacting with outsiders the most. Now that there are so many people around him, he must be annoyed.

With the excuse of leaving the table for too long and breaking the rules, he hurriedly dismissed those people.

Looking at Lan Ziqing again, there was a smile on his lips, the ice at the bottom of his dark eyes turned into a soft light, his brows were slightly raised, and under the brilliant starry sky, he gracefully raised the white jade wine glass in his hand.

Lan Ziqing was known as the top literati and elegant scholar, and she maintained an elegant literati attitude. This kind of movement was neither slow nor slow, and it made Su Danchen's heart thump.

When the atmosphere at the banquet was lively, there was a sudden announcement from the eunuch.

"General Yin Ting has an audience."

Immediately, the dancers stopped dancing and the musicians stopped playing, and they all retreated to the side. The civil and military officials waited with bated breath, waiting for this miracle-creating hero.

Su Danchen's peach blossom eyes sparkled with excitement.

Looking at his appearance, Lan Ziqing pursed her lips helplessly, and followed his gaze.

Out of the night slowly came out a mighty and mighty man in armor, followed by a handsome young man in a white robe with outstanding demeanor.

When the handsome young man in white robe walked up to Lan Ziqing's case, he seemed to glance at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Although it was a short glance, it was enough for Lan Ziqing to see the sneer in his dark eyes.

Lan Ziqing raised her eyebrows.

Su Danchen devoted all his attention to General Yin Ting, completely ignoring that handsome young man in white robe,

He had an excited look on his face, as if he was going to pounce on him in the next moment, and have a good talk with his "Uncle Yin".

In a short time, General Yin Ting and the white-robed young master behind him had already walked up to Emperor Yangdi, kowtowed and saluted.

"Chen Yin Ting sees His Majesty."

"Chen Luo Mingxuan sees His Majesty."

When Emperor Yangdi saw his brother who had followed him through life and death, an indistinct dim light flashed quickly in his eagle eyes, and a smile appeared on his thin lips. Under everyone's gaze, he went down the steps to help Yin Ting up.

"Aiqing is free."

The high-spirited general saw that Emperor Yang's eyes fell on Luo Mingxuan behind him as if asking, and hurriedly introduced him.

"Your Majesty, he is the military advisor in the minister's tent, Luo Mingxuan. The defeat of Yanjiang this time is all due to Axuan's advice behind the scenes."

Luo Mingxuan stood behind General Yin Ting, with red lips and white teeth, his face was neither humble nor overbearing, he raised his sleeves and bowed, "My minister Luo Mingxuan sees Your Majesty."

Emperor Yangdi smiled and praised: "The wisdom of a military adviser is not inferior to that of Lan Qing."

Luo Mingxuan tightly pursed his lips, and after a distance, he said lightly: "Your Highness's absurd praise, the mere tricks of the minister, how dare you compare them with Lan Xiang."

"This time Luo Qing has made great achievements, what reward do you want? Whether it is gold, silver and jewelry, or fertile land and mansions, I will reward you well."

Seeing that Luo Mingxuan was silent, Yin Ting thought that he was embarrassed to speak, so he smiled and said: "Ah Xuan, just say what you want, Your Majesty's golden words will definitely satisfy you." I don't know if this general will be rewarded."

Emperor Yangdi smiled "haha", "When did I ever treat you badly?"

At this time, Luo Mingxuan, who had been silent for a long time, lowered his eyelids, hid the cold light in his eyes, and said, "I have nothing else to ask, but a word."

Emperor Yangdi wondered, "What kind of words?"

"In the battle of "Silent Valley Ridge", although we have defeated the barbarians in Yanjiang, we will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. I would like to ask one of the people present for advice on how to force the enemy back without a single soldier. .”

With a sneer on his lips, he cupped his hands and said, "I hope this person can explain it with one word."

After one sentence was finished, the celebration banquet, which was originally lively and full of discussions, fell silent in an instant, and all the officials were trembling, for fear that they would fall into the eyes of the military adviser and become the "unlucky" person.

In this battle, General Yin Ting led thousands of people to patrol the north, but was besieged by tens of thousands of Yanjiang barbarians in Qingzhou. The latter's army commander Luo Mingxuan pretended to attack the enemy's camp. He attacked three times in just seven days, each time in the middle of the night. When they were dispatched, the enemy soldiers jumped and returned after disturbing them.For the fourth time, the general of Yanjiang sent all the elite soldiers to ambush in the camp, ready to catch them all, but they waited all night, but they waited for the news that the food and grass in the rear had been burned.

It is a big taboo for military strategists to destroy the food and grass before the soldiers and horses are moved.

Three days later, a group of Yanjiang barbarians who were exhausted from hunger heard that there was a grain cart passing by Admiral Jigu Ridge, and immediately led their troops to intercept it happily, but they fell into Luo Mingxuan's trap and entered the dangerous place.

After all, the opponent has a large number of people, although Luo Mingxuan took advantage of the right time, place and people to defeat the enemy army, but in the process, the Yang army also suffered a lot of casualties.

Even so, such a contest with a huge disparity in numbers, but a few people won perfectly, is also a classic.

Luo Mingxuan, the little-known military strategist, gained fame thanks to this battle.

Now he not only wants people to win without fighting, but also wants people to answer what they say.

This is simply making things difficult.

Even the well-known conspiracy and sophist Ji Bian back then would be left speechless by the question at this moment.

If the machine can't answer, will his apprentice have a countermeasure?

The eyes of all the officials came to the chief seat of Emperor Yangdi. Under the brilliant night sky, the man in the purple and gold official robe, who was elegant and dusty, looked indifferent, covering his deep eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

In the eyes of Baiguan, he said that he was also stumped by this question.

Sure enough, Lan Xiang, who is as clever as he is, is helpless at the moment.

Thinking of this, Baiguan calmed down.

Emperor Yangdi also realized the difficulty here, frowned and said: "Luo Qing's question is really difficult, why don't you change it, if you want to stay in the court as an official, I will definitely make it happen."

Yin Ting also persuaded from the side.

Luo Mingxuan was relentless, "Your Majesty, others may not be able to answer the question, but there is one person who will definitely solve my doubts."

"Who is it?"

There was a sharp edge hidden in Luo Mingxuan's eyes.

"Prime Minister Lan Ziqing."
