wait for me to be king

"What?! The Xiongnu invaded the border?!" Lin's expression changed suddenly, "Then what?"

Qingping said with a happy face, "Ma'am! The general is so brave, first he bowed his bow at the top of the city and shot the two Hun chieftains to death, and then shot down the banner of the Hun commander. Immediately launch a charge and scatter the Xiongnu army in all directions!"

Lin was stunned to hear, Qingping's words became more and more distant, as if she had heard everything, but also seemed to have heard nothing.

"...the general charged and killed the last leader of the Huns on the spot as if entering no man's land. The Huns were defeated and returned to the grassland. It is said that the soldiers of the cavalry battalion chased them into the grassland for more than ten miles. The general was afraid of getting lost in the depths of the grassland, so he led his troops back to the pass!!"

The more Qingping talked, the more excited she became, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do.

"The general has made such a great contribution, the imperial court will definitely reward him, maybe the general will be promoted again!"

Lin only felt exhausted all over, she said softly, "Qingping, let me be quiet."

Qingping thought that Mrs. Lin was exhausted from being happy, so she supported Mrs. Lin on the soft couch, "The servant girl will do some embroidery outside, and Madam will call the servant girl if she has something to do!"

Lin slumped on the soft couch, feeling that she had no strength in her whole body.

She knew her husband well, if the former Xie Changfeng certainly didn't have such abilities.

Now this person is like a potential dragon coming out of the abyss, a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, and he can't hide his brilliance at all. According to Xie Changfeng's current ability and power, it may not take a few years for him to become a prince with his military achievements!

What if Xie Changfeng turned his face at that time?

The eldest brother died, and the second brother was not good enough to leave any heirs at all. The Lin family is almost the last one!When his father Dingguogong disarms and returns to the fields, by that time Duke Dingguo's mansion alone will not be able to suppress Xie Changfeng!

Lin subconsciously touched her stomach.

Every man hopes to leave good things, especially title money, to his offspring. The child in her womb does not belong to Xie Changfeng today. If Xie Changfeng finds another woman to give birth to a child in the future...

The more Lin thought about it, the more frightened she became. She pursed her lips, feeling sad and aggrieved in her heart. Could it be that she had to commit herself to this person in order to keep the child?

Her fingers were tightly huddled together, and she tore the handkerchief into pieces without knowing it. What should she do?

Lin stayed in a daze for the whole afternoon, until Qingping came to ask what's for dinner, she suddenly woke up.

She took a deep breath, with a hint of sadness on her brows, "I don't want to eat anything..."

Qingping was taken aback, "Madam? You are pregnant with a child, how can you not eat?"

"...Although the general won a big victory, I'm afraid he paid a big price. I don't know what happened to him..." Lin's voice became lower and lower, her eyes were full of worry and sorrow. Qingping saw Lin's appearance like this, Immediately my heart moved.

At dinner, Qingping tried to persuade her, but Lin only had a bowl of jujube and lotus seed porridge and a few pieces of snacks, and she put down the bowl. With so many, I found Manager He.

"Ma'am did not show any joy when she heard the general's victory today. On the contrary, Ma'am is very worried about the general's safety." Qingping sighed, "We were only concerned about the Xiongnu's retreat, but we forgot that the general went to battle, and I'm afraid he also suffered serious injuries. , He Guanshi, can you send a message to the general?"

He Guanshi frowned, "Although the Xiongnu were defeated, there are still Hun stragglers outside the Yanmen Gate. How can the general leave Yanmen Pass at this time to come to Dai County?"

"Of course not to let the general come back!!" Qingping shook her head hastily, "I just beg Mrs. He to send a message to the general, telling the general that my wife misses the general recently and is worried about his safety. If the general can send his own soldiers back to say a few words, It's better than Madam worrying about it every day!"

Only then did He Guanshi loosen his brows, "That's right..."

"That's right, it's only two hours' journey from Yanmen Pass to Dai County. I just sent a soldier to come to Dai County. I set off in the morning and return to Yanmen Pass before dinner. It won't delay the military... You see... "

Manager He thought about it again, "That's fine, I'll send someone to go to Yanmen Pass."

When Xie Changfeng received Lin's message, he was looking through the post-war intelligence news and the records of cleaning the battlefield in the military tent.

According to statistics after the battle, the Huns died and injured about 2000 people, and [-] people lost their way and were rushed to the north by Wang Zhuang afterward. There are about [-] Xiongnu generals.

The cavalry battalion that had been charged by Xie Changfeng before had lost almost half of it, with only about 8000 cavalry remaining of the [-] cavalry, and about [-] infantry guarding the pass, plus the conscripted civilian husbands and former residents of Shanyin County. There should be about [-] young and strong people in the pass.

It seems that the number is comparable to that of the Huns, and if it is just guarding the pass, 5000 people are enough.

Xie Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Basically, the crisis at Yanmen Pass has been resolved. As long as the soldiers do not slacken their inspections day and night, they can completely ignore the seven thousand Huns outside as a scenery.

While thinking, Zhao Ping lifted the curtain and walked in.

He looked at Xie Changfeng with a smile on his face, "It's true that soldiers will treat each other with admiration for three days. I didn't expect the general to be so brave this time, and he directly repelled the invading Xiongnu. In this way, Yanmen Pass will be safe and sound."

Xie Changfeng smiled, and asked back, "Is there any information from Biantou Pass and Ningwu Pass?"

Zhao Ping said with a smile, "Ningwu Pass is fine, as for Piantou Pass... the general sent back a military report before, saying that there were traces of Xiongnu cavalry, but Piatou Pass is close to the natural danger of the Yellow River, so there should be no problem. .”

Xie Changfeng nodded, "It's great that there is nothing wrong with the three outer passes."

"Speaking of general, you seem to be quite hostile to the eldest son of Daiwangfu!" After finishing the business, Zhao Ping said suddenly, "Perhaps the general may think that I am alarmist, but I have to admit that the present king has the greatest chance. It's quite unwise for this eldest son to turn against each other..."

Xie Changfeng was silent for a while, "He is very troublesome here."

"...But he is a member of the royal family after all, as long as he stands on the top of the city, it will improve morale." Zhao Ping reminded, "And this eldest son is not the kind of person who commands randomly. Judging from today's situation , this Eldest Young Master is quite self-aware, General, even if we don't need to be friendly with him, there is no need to make him hate you."

"I understand." Xie Changfeng said calmly, "I will take some time to go back to Dai County in the past few days."

Zhao Ping frowned first, and then let go, "By the way, Madam Ling is pregnant... Well, it must have made Madam worry. Anyway, there has been no war these few days. It's okay for the general to go back. Go back to the customs before dark, just in case."

"Well, that's what I planned too."

Xie Changfeng admitted that what Zhao Ping said was correct, but he didn't want to have too much contact with Qi Yuan, and it happened that Lin seemed to want to see him, so he should avoid it!

It's just that he wanted to escape, but someone didn't do what he wanted.

This day Xie Changfeng went back to Dai County alone, just as he walked to the city gate, he heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, looking back, it was Qi Yuan who rode first, and several guards beside him followed behind him.

"General Xie?" Qi Yuan smiled, "Is General Xie here to see me off?"

"..." Xie Changfeng really wanted to slap Qi Yuan with a slap in the face, how could he see that he was planning to see him off?

Xie Changfeng didn't want to talk to Qi Yuan at first, but thinking of Mr. Zhao's admonition yesterday, he said in a stiff tone, "Your Highness is joking? How does the general know His Highness's itinerary?"

"Oh? That's a coincidence?" Qi Yuan's face was thicker than a city wall, he continued to smile, "That's really fate!"

"..." Xie Changfeng confirmed one thing, Qi Yuan seemed to want to win his favor?Otherwise, he said sarcastically, why did Qi Yuan come to him so persistently?

He thought of the members of the royal family that he had seen in his previous life, one was more arrogant and proud than the other, not to mention those royal princesses with noble backgrounds and savage personalities, and looking at Qi Yuan in front of him...is there really no comparison?

Xie Changfeng suddenly felt that it was not appropriate for him to look at people with the eyes of the past. He thought for a while and calmed down his tone, "Maybe, is your highness planning to return to Beijing?"

Qi Yuan immediately noticed this subtle change, "That's right, yesterday afternoon Zhao Ping had sorted out the list of materials missing at Yanmen Pass, and I'm planning to go back to Dai County to have a look, and if there are enough materials in the fief, I'll write a letter to my father, Strive for the nearest deployment."

Xie Changfeng was silent for a long time before he said, "Since Your Highness is going back to Dai Commandery, then General will go the same way with His Highness."

Qi Yuan couldn't help laughing, "Why don't we go together?"

"Your Highness, please."

Qi Yuan got on his horse and glanced at Li Chong, the guard beside him. Unexpectedly, he found that the face of the guard had changed. Qi Yuan sneered in his heart. After waiting for a long time, he finally found a chance to clean up this nail.

Qi Yuan gently stroked the steed under him, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

From Yanmen Pass to Dai County, the distance is not long, but the road is full of mountains and forests, and the mountain road is sometimes gentle and sometimes steep. In addition, it has just snowed two days ago, and the mountain road is muddy and slippery. Dare to gallop fast, otherwise it is easy for the horse to stumble and roll directly down the mountain.

Xie Changfeng's riding skills are naturally extremely superb, but he was worried about Qi Yuan's lack of equestrian skills, so the group of people walked very slowly, basically the horses didn't even start running, they just walked slowly.

Breathing the cold air, Qi Yuan chatted with Xie Changfeng, "Speaking of which, this year's winter came very early. In the past, there would be evening chrysanthemums blooming at this time. Today, the ground is all white, with only dead branches left."

Xie Changfeng said lightly, "I haven't seen any evening chrysanthemums. Every year before winter and early spring, the Huns will more or less go south to hunt grass valleys. There is nothing but weeds at the border."

Xie Changfeng's answer was slightly sarcastic, but Qi Yuan just smiled and didn't take it seriously.

People who are really capable have always been arrogant. If they want to convince the other party, he must show the same sincerity and ability. At this moment, he is just the son of a small vassal prince, and it is normal for the other party to look down on him.

He raised his head, looked at Xie Changfeng, and said softly, "Then, if one day, General Xie wants to lead my great Chu cavalry and seal the wolf into Xuxu?"

Xie Changfeng was shocked all over, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Qi Yuan fixedly.

There was still a faint smile on Qi Yuan's face, but at this moment, he finally revealed his long-hidden sharpness and power, his gaze was as deep as an abyss, and contained everything.

In his eyes, some are the whole world.

Seeing such a pair of clear eyes, Xie Changfeng's heart skipped a beat.

The author has something to say: In fact, I really want to add a sentence later...

===

Seeing such a pair of clear eyes, Xie Changfeng's heart skipped a beat.

It's so beautiful, what would it be like if your own reflection appeared in it?

===

Then I was shocked by myself, and silently deleted this sentence in the text...
