The queen is a bit cowardly

Jiangcheng

No matter how chaotic the world is, how turbulent the Fu Kingdom is, there is always a sense of tranquility in Jiangcheng.If it is Tianping City, it is prosperous and bustling with people coming and going. Looking at Fuguo Qipeng City, as the westernmost capital of Kyushu, it has become a transportation hub for countries in the Western Regions to pass through the Central Plains. The collision of various cultures is also a A healthy scene.

The tranquility of Jiangcheng is different from other places. This is a very small city, and all the people living in the city are people with the Jiang surname. Those descendants of the Jiang surname who came from the direct line but failed to become kings live here Even the slaves are descendants of the Jiang family who have been removed from their clan.There are no merchants here, no buying and selling, and all needs are provided by the monarch of Fu Kingdom. This group of people surnamed Jiang deeply cultivated here, raised their own army, and silently controlled everything in Fu Kingdom.

There is no city lord in Jiangcheng, and they don’t obey the king. The family members manage everything here. This group of family members are selected by the elders of the clan, and they will pay attention to three things about them. One is blood, which must be the closest to the direct line. For the branch, his father and brother must have become kings, the second is talent and learning, you need to read thousands of volumes, you should have unique insights, you need to be outstanding among the young people in Jiangcheng, and the third is loyalty , If you want to control Jiangcheng, you need to be loyal to the Jiang family. This person should be loyal to the entire clan, not the monarch, not the clan elders. Everything will be based on the best interests of the Jiang family.

This generation of family members is already the No.30 generation of Jiangcheng. This person is named Jiang Xixi. He was the most outstanding young man in Jiangcheng back then. King Fu, according to his seniority, is Jiang Qingluan's uncle. He had an enmity with Jiang Cheng because of the matter of setting up an heir. Together with several ministers, he wanted to rise up in the royal court and make his eldest son his son. At home, how could the Xianfu king alone be the opponent of Jiang Cheng's family, so he had to compromise and make Jiang Qingluan's father his heir.

As a result, Jiangxixi's voice in Jiangcheng became louder and louder, and he should become a new family member. He has controlled Jiangcheng for 30 years since he came to power, and now the boy who is favored by others is already over fifty years old. Elderly.

Right now, the elder was sitting on the bed with his forehead stroked, his lower body tightly wrapped by a thick quilt, and a fine white bear fur cloak on his body, holding Tang Pozi in his other hand, looking like a Ten years older, like a 60-year-old man.

In front of his couch were his nephews, or grandchildren who were more distantly related, but his son was not there. In order to avoid suspicion, he sent his sons to Qipeng, not to participate in Jiang Cheng's affairs, His loyalty to Jiang has been preserved until now.Now the group of nephews and grandnephews are sitting in a semicircle in front of the couch, with worse expressions on their faces than this elder.

"Call Jiang Fei back." Jiang Xixi said this after being silent for a long time.

The other people under the couch looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to speak up.

"Everyone is hesitant to talk, and they say what they have to say." Jiang Xixi was a little disgusted: "Jiang Fei is a useless kid. Anyone of you who wants to be a family member should be more courageous."

As if encouraged, a young man in his early thirties knelt forward, caressed the bed, and said, "Family, it's time for war, I'm afraid it will be..."

"With the current situation in Shen County, what else can Jiang Fei do?" Jiang Taixi raised his eyebrows, and most of his eyebrows were white: "Who does he think his opponent is? I didn't let him go there because Jiang Qingluan led him by the nose. It would be understandable if we lost the battle, but we have been guarding the city for almost three months, and there is still no movement, and now the snow on the Fushan Mountain is about to melt before we think about sending troops."

The young man dared not speak again. He was waiting for the outcome of this battle of Fu Kingdom. Jiang Fei might not be Jiang Qingluan's opponent, but Jiang Qingluan didn't have much combat power in his hands, and Jiang Fei had a [-] army in his hands. Even if he loses, he can seriously injure Jiang Qingluan, but who would have thought that he was afraid of going back to Jiangcheng to be scolded if he failed, so he played cautiously and was surrounded by Jiang Qingluan. After a month and a half of defense, the snow on Fushan Mountain had already begun to melt Yes, Jiang Qingluan also had a lot of people under his command for no reason, and this surprise attack caught Jiang Fei by surprise.

"But there is a saying in the art of war..."

"How many tactics did Jiang Qingluan use in the battle?" Jiang Luan asked.

"I don't know."

"Then you should think about it first." Jiang Xixi waved his hand and let the young man go down.

"You guys," Jiang Xixi pointed to the younger generation: "I have been getting worse and worse in the past two years. Look at you, you are still as naive as a child. Why don't I invite Jiang Qingluan back, and she will be the King of Talismans against me. It’s more suitable for you to be a family guy.”

"Ask Jiang Fei to withdraw, and Jiang Qingluan will definitely chase after her. Give up the land in Fudong first, let her rush to Huashen County, where it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a dam nearby, there is always a chance to get rid of her. "

The juniors under the couch sang a song together, and heard Jiang Luxi continue to say: "Besides the incident on the battlefield, we must also find an opportunity to assassinate her. She is always a girl, and she really can't gain advantage by confronting a master."

"Here."

"I just know how to sing. If Jiang Qingluan comes back, we will be the first ones to get rid of." Jiang Luxi moved his body in the cloak, and then said: "I won't live long, you are still young."

The threat of Jiang Xixi made the juniors under the couch sweat all over their backs. In the history of Fu Kingdom, Jiang Cheng was massacred twice, both by Mr. Fu. .

"We will do our best for Jiang Cheng."

"Okay, step back." Jiang Taixi threw Mrs. Tang to the maid, and lay down by herself, muttering: "Let Jiang Fei go to pick up Jiang Fei's position, and Jiang Qingluan will definitely be killed in Huashen County."

Fuyang County

The withdrawal of troops from Shen County was a great joy. Feng Jia couldn't hold back the rabbit beside him and gnawed three bites. Looking at the soldiers he captured, this once honest slave also began to fantasize about becoming a general. the day is over.Not only was there a rabbit, this victory also made other people excited. According to Jiang Qingluan, she spent three months raising a group of hungry dogs, and these hungry dogs were waiting for the day when they were released to bite people.

In addition to the group of people she is leading now, as the mountain snow melted, a lot of reinforcements from Baili County also arrived. With a small group of soldiers and horses moving eastward, Jiang Fei only thought that Jiang Qingluan was going to escape, so he poured all his troops into pursuit, but Jiang Qingluan had already planned it.

First, Bale met the enemy, Yelu stirred up the morale of the army in the city, and Mudan took advantage of the emptiness to lead troops into the city. In fact, there were not many soldiers with him, and the morale of the army was already chaotic. Just a few raids burned the food and grass in the city, not only that , Also took away hundreds of rebellious soldiers.When Jiang Fei found out Jiang Qingluan's intentions, and returned to the city, Shen County was in chaos. He reorganized the army and horses again, and found that the remaining soldiers were only enough for defense. He finally withdrew his troops until Jiang Cheng ordered him to do so.

"Your Highness, you can take a good rest." Chang Lan stood on the city gate. It was cold today, and the snow on the city gate last night had not yet melted. She also breathed a sigh of relief on her hand: "I also hope that Let's see what Qi Peng looks like soon."

Jiang Qingluan looked at the soldiers repairing the town under the city wall. It was in a state of chaos, but he thought it would return to what a town should look like in a short time.

Taking Chang Lan's hand, Jiang Qingluan said, "It should be fine when autumn comes."

Pointing to the west with the other hand, she continued: "Further down, there are Huashen County and Gongke County..." She paused, and then said two more words: "Jiangcheng."

"Jiangcheng is so close to us?" Chang Lan asked.

Jiang Qingluan nodded: "Jiang Cheng is afraid of the power of the grassland, so in the middle of the Fu Kingdom, Qi Peng is a little bit west."

"Jiangcheng should be scary, right?" Chang Lan said, after all, it is a place that controls the king, and this control has lasted for a hundred years.

"I stayed there when I was young," Jiang Qingluan counted his fingers: "I stayed there for eight months, and was finally sent out."

"What are you doing there?" Chang Lan was also curious about the rules and customs of this country.

"Study." Jiang Qingluan took Chang Lan and walked down the city: "The wind is too strong, let's go to the fire."

Chang Lan nodded, and said "um" softly from her mouth.

"Haven't you said what to study?" Chang Lan followed Jiang Qingluan's footsteps.

"Learn how to respect the patriarch of the clan, Jiang Cheng's family..." Jiang Qingluan shook his head helplessly: "But what he talks about is even more pedantic than Confucius, and there are many rules. If you are disobedient, you need sticks and work."

"Dare to ask the princess to work?" Chang Lan was a little surprised. Whether it is the royal family or the royal families of various countries, the most indispensable thing is servants. Jiang Qingluan usually has people to do everything for him, and it is very easy to order people in the princess mansion. is natural.

"Why don't you dare." Jiang Qingluan half-closed her eyes, recalling that period of bad childhood, and said: "What they want is to make the princes and queens fear them. We spent half a year serving the family's daily life. Responsible for grinding and drying books for Jiangxixi."

"Jiang Xixi is a family member?"

"Yes." Jiang Qingluan's face darkened.

"I want to see and see." Chang Lan was curious. Under such a system, what kind of role should his person in power be?

"He is a wise man." Jiang Qingluan said calmly, "He is also a cunning man, a ruthless man."

Chang Lan thought of Jiang Qingluan's deposed by this person, and said with relief: "I am with His Highness, no matter what kind of person he is, I will protect His Highness."

Walking to the bonfire, Jiang Qing stretched out her hands to absorb the warmth. She looked sideways at Chang Lan, and her face was also red from being coaxed.

"With you here, I have nothing to fear." Jiang Qingluan approached Chang Lan, picked up her windbreaker, covered Chang Lan beside her, and wrapped her tightly in her arms.
