The prince gave me a bamboo horse

The Huns violated the border.

The emperor and Ming Huaiyan were woken up in the middle of the night, and the Meteor Envoy handed Wen Qingzheng's handwriting to the emperor, and he passed out. The emperor asked him to help him down to rest.

Ming Huaiyan knelt down, "Father, my ministers request to conscript!"

The emperor looked at him "because of Wen Xingyuan?"

"No, my son just wants to take on the responsibility of a prince," Ming Huaiyan said.

The emperor looked at him, wanting to see his heart, Wen Qingzheng has experienced many battles, he is brave and resourceful, and he can usually solve small troubles at the border, but today's [-]-mile rush shows that the situation is very serious." Are you really going?"

"Yes!" Ming Huaiyan said heavily.

The gate of the military general in the court and the two ministers of the Ministry of War and Accounts were knocked open. They rushed to the palace overnight. Early the next morning, the endless grain carts had been loaded and the soldiers were ready to go.

Ming Huaiyan put on the armor for the first time. He stood on the high platform to cheer up the soldiers who were about to go out, and then jumped on the horse and "Let's go!"

The Huns suddenly violated the border on the 20th day of the first lunar month. At first it was only a small group of people. It looked like they were here to fight the autumn wind, but Wen Qingzheng saw the clues. These people were probably spies, and then sent out scouts. The soldiers and horses are just a hundred miles away.

Although there are more than 60 people on the border, the border of Dayan is very long, and every place cannot be moved. Once it is lost, it may be attacked into the hinterland of the Central Plains.

As the smoke ignited, more than 60 people on the border of Dayan put on battle armor and took up weapons, fully guarding against a war that may break out at any time.

Yanxi City has 20 soldiers and horses, but it is also the most severe hurdle to face the Xiongnu. Wen Qing is standing on the tower, looking at the jackdaws flying in the distance and the hazy fog, "Prepare for battle!"

"Prepare for war"

"Prepare for war"

"Prepare for war"

There are a total of [-] soldiers who set off with Ming Huaiyan, and there are [-] soldiers who will defend the entire imperial city and surrounding cities, and [-] soldiers will be used as backup, ready to join the battle at any time!

Only the soldiers in various places did not move unless it was absolutely necessary, and they were responsible for the local riots.

The first [-] light cavalry had already set off, and the remaining [-] escorted supplies followed closely behind.

As soon as the common people went to work in the fields, they saw [-] cavalry roaring past. They knew that it was a war on the frontier, but they believed that they would succeed in defeating the enemy.

The four cities of Yanxi are Yanxi, Yanliang, Yanyin, and Yanmeng. They are important lines of defense facing the Western Regions, Huns, Turks, and other tribes of different sizes. They stand on the frontier, blocked by tall walls or dangerous terrain. The enemy's invasion.

Yanxi, this is the No. 15 offensive in the past few days. The Xiongnu seem to be sure to win, but Wen Qingzheng and the others will also keep them out of the line of defense.

Wen Xingzhi arrived yesterday. He was ordered to go on the field and successfully cut off the head of an enemy general, which boosted his morale for a while.

Yanyin was also raided.

"Is Turkic not afraid of being beaten?" Zhou Shuyu still had blood on his face.

"It should be some kind of agreement reached with the Xiongnu!" said a man who looked very weak, but he looked weak, but he was a fierce general under Wen Qingzheng. This is also the reason why the Turks have been silent for so many years.

Zhou Shuyu nodded, "General Han is right!"

This gentle general's name is Han Wei, and his name is also gentle and quiet. He looked in the direction of Yanxi City, "There is a lot of pressure on the general, so we must definitely defend this side!"

"Yes!"

Yanmeng is the most relaxed of the four cities, because its terrain is difficult to defend and difficult to attack, but the soldiers stationed there did not relax their vigilance, in case others come by surprise.

Yanliang is next to Yanxi, and he has been attacked no less than Yanxi. They are not only facing the wolf teeth of the Huns, but also the back arrows of several participating tribes.

Wen Xingyuan slept until noon, and when he opened the door, he saw Changsheng outside in a hurry, "My lord, there is a war!"

"what?"

"It is said that this time the Xiongnu and the Turks are united, and the situation at the border is very serious!" Chang Sheng glanced at Wen Xingyuan timidly, "And His Royal Highness also went there in person!"

"What!" Wen Xingyuan didn't say how he went, because his father and elder brother were fighting bloody battles in the frontier, he was just worried that Ming Huaiyan was inexperienced, and no matter how familiar he was with military books, it would be too late for the unpredictable battlefield "Go back first!"

On the way, it could be seen that passers-by were talking and laughing, so they shouldn't be worried, but Wen Xingyuan was even more worried about his father and brother.

When entering the city, the inspection was very strict. After waiting for a while before entering the city, Wen Xingyuan went to Ning Nanxu immediately after returning home, "Mother!"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen!" Ning Nanxu was still embroidering. Wen Xingyuan remembered that the Huns and Turks did not commit large-scale violations of the country in his previous life, and this life will be different after all.

"Well, nothing will happen!" Wen Xingyuan knew that Ning Nanxu was more worried than him, so he smiled at her, and asked Ning Nanxu to cook him a meal, but Ning Nanxu had no choice but to indulge Wen Xingyuan and give it to him. After frying a few dishes, the mother and son sat together and ate the food before separating.

Not long after Wen Xingyuan returned to the room, the concierge came over and said that someone had sent an invitation, and it was for him.

Wen Xingyuan took it, and it was Ming Xiuqi, who said he wanted to invite him over to the house tomorrow.

"My lord, what does King Xiaoyao want you to do?" Chang Sheng asked.

Wen Xingyuan shook his head, "You'll know when you go!"

Early the next morning, Wen Xingyuan packed up and went to Xiaoyao Palace.

"Master Wen, please!" Ling Yi led the way.

Ming Xiuqi was drinking while lying down in the warm pavilion, and Wen Xingyuan didn't sit still when he came in, but just raised his hand to cover his chest and said, "Sit down and drink tea."

"Thank you, Lord!"

After Wen Xingyuan sat down, Ming Xiuqi took another sip of wine before sitting up straight, "Yuan'er, are you having a conflict with my eldest nephew?"

Wen Xingyuan hesitated slightly, "It's not really, it's just..."

"Just what?" Ming Xiuqi leaned forward, "My eldest nephew said that you are only with him to use him, okay?"

Wen Xingyuan's eyes fell on the rim of the cup, "Yes!"

Ming Xiuqi's eyes were tinged with seriousness, "Wen Xingyuan, do you dare to look into my eyes and talk?"

Wen Xingyuan slowly looked at Ming Xiuqi, and Ming Xiuqi asked word by word, "Wen Xingyuan, are you really using Yan'er?"

"Yes!" Wen Xingyuan replied without hesitation.

"Do you know what crime it is to use the Crown Prince?" Ming Xiuqi asked.

Wen Xingyuan looked outside, "But he didn't lose anything!"

Ming Xiuqi slapped the table and was furious, "Why is there no loss!"

Wen Xingyuan looked at him suspiciously, no!Even with a promise from him, our Wen family will not do those crimes, which is equivalent to an empty promise.

Ming Xiuqi sneered sneeringly, "No? Don't forget, my eldest nephew lost thousands of heirs on you!"

Wen Xingyuan understood, and his face blushed instantly.

"If it wasn't for you, my imperial brother would have had his grandson around his knees. Do you think there is any loss?" Ming Xiuqi's question left Wen Xingyuan speechless, "Wen Xingyuan, tell me, are you willing to bear the crime of murdering the emperor's heir?" rise?"

Can those be considered heirs?Wen Xingyuan didn't think so, but Xiaoyao Wang's appearance was so real.

After bluffing people for a moment, Ming Xiuqi sat down and said, "Are you guilty of these crimes?"

"Recognize..." Wen Xingyuan gritted his teeth, Ming Huaiyan insisted on giving these, is it also his own fault?

"Okay, let's talk, what is the reason?" Ming Xiuqi lost his face again, "I don't believe that you little brat can have any scheming."

"There's nothing to say!" Wen Xingyuan turned his head away.

"You!" Ming Xiuqi had a headache, "What are you stubborn about? There is nothing to say!"

Wen Xingyuan was silent.

Ming Xiuqi thought to himself that this might be a strong medicine, "Wen Xingyuan, do you know what my eldest nephew has paid for you?"

Wen Xingyuan looked at him, not knowing.

"My eldest nephew not only sacrificed so many heirs for you, ahem!" Seeing Wen Xingyuan's blushing face, Ming Xiuqi coughed twice, "He paid a lot!"

Wen Xingyuan thought that Ming Huaiyan had done something that he didn't know, but King Xiaoyao spoke nonsense again.

"He gave up the crown prince!"

What! ?Wen Xingyuan looked at him, feeling his whole head vibrating and roaring, "He!"

"A few years ago, he handed over the brochure to the emperor, willing to give up the position of prince, to assist Ming Huaijing, and when Ming Huaijing became an adult, he would travel around the world with you. He said the following words in front of me. He said you He likes to play, and he wants to play with you! If you don't come here, he is no longer the prince!" Ming Xiuqi stood up, patted Wen Xingyuan on the shoulder, "Wen Xingyuan, you can't let him down!"

Ming Xiuqi left, leaving Wen Xingyuan alone in Nuan Pavilion with a tear falling on his hand.
