After teasing the magician, I ran away with my cub

Choice

When Jian Shuang saw the intercepted letter, he was still shocked even though he already had guesses in his heart due to the various information he had investigated during this period of time.

Although it was almost midnight, but he hesitated again and again, he still didn't dare to delay, and rushed straight to Prince An's Mansion.

Before, Yan Muning specially gave Jian Shuang a waist card so that Jian Shuang didn't have to wait too long when he came to the palace. Therefore, although the servant on duty at the gate tonight didn't recognize Jian Shuang, he didn't stop him, and only cautiously asked him to wait for a while. He called Chen Mo.

Chen Mo was taken aback when he saw Jian Shuang waiting on the porch in front of the door.It must be an urgent matter for Jian Shuang to come here in person at this time.

He hurriedly whispered: "Follow me quickly."

Jian Shuang was not too polite, and the two hurriedly entered Jiayue Pavilion.

Not long after, Yun Jiangli was only wearing a middle coat and casually draped a cloak, and walked in through the door. Seeing him like this, he should have already rested.

"Master, the brother in the suburbs of Beijing sent it urgently."

Jian Shuang handed over the letter with both hands.

Yun Jiangli took it apart without saying a word and looked at it, but his face became more and more serious.

"Chen Mo, do you know where Prince Cheng is right now?"

Yun Jiangli folded the letter, turned his head and asked in a deep voice.

Chen Mo hurriedly responded: "When I came back from the Lantern Festival, I went with the Major General, and I should be still at Prince Yuchi's residence at this time."

Yun Jiangli pondered for a moment with downcast eyes, and ordered: "Let Eleven and Du Zhong go to the bedroom to guard the little prince, and you two call Ah Xiao and Lao Qi, and come with me to the Prince's Mansion."

"it is good."

Chen Mo Yingxia was about to make arrangements, then turned around and asked, "Young hall master, do you need to ask Shizi to come with you?"

Yun Jiangli, who was changing clothes, thought about it for a while: "No need for now."

·

Half an hour later, four people, Old Prince Yuchi, Major General, Prince Cheng, and Yun Jiangli, sat around in the study of the Shizi Mansion, their expressions were frighteningly cold.

Yuchiche pointed at the letter, so angry that he wished he could rush to Wu's house and hang Wu Liangman up to give him a pump.

"Tomorrow the [-]th, the court will be copied. I have to go to the court early in the morning, and this matter cannot be delayed." The old prince has fought in the battlefield all his life, and his aura of calmness and prestige is quite strong.

Prince Cheng nodded, and echoed: "What the old prince said is that, according to the summary of our current information, it is already certain that the Wu family colluded with foreign thieves in an attempt to misbehave against Dasheng."

After all, Yun Jiangli is the young master of "Snow Bamboo", so he has seen more information and the organization is clearer.

He analyzed calmly: "It should be that the Wu family thinks that they have subdued the foreign thieves for their own use. The intention is nothing more than to gain more power in their hands. Obviously, the four countries in the west and the north seem to have reached other agreements in private. As for The Wu family is just a pawn for the four countries to invade Dasheng."

"The entry point used by the opponent is Wu Liangman."

Yun Jiangli clicked on the letter on the table.

Talking about business, Yu Chiche also said calmly: "The spies I sent out to investigate the Wu family's purchase of weapon blueprints at a high price can basically confirm that Daikin has not reached an agreement with those four countries this time, and the blueprints are just a black market sale. .And Bei Jin can also confirm that it has nothing to do with this time, which is consistent with the news of Master Yun."

"Then the most important issue right now is not internal worries, but external troubles." Prince Cheng pointed to the map attached to the letter.

The old prince finally made a decision: "The other party has already reached the stage of asking for a map, so he must be ready to move. Sincerely, my lord, I think that I need to wait for the dawn to meet your majesty. This letter is already ironclad proof. Can you Directly lead the Jingzhong garrison to arrest Wu Liangman and imprison him first."

In fact, Prince Cheng also had this intention, and got up first when he heard about it: "Then I will deal with this matter first, and the rest of the matter and the interrogation of those assassins will bother the Major General and the Young Hall Master."

After he left, the old prince got up and slapped his shoulder and said: "It seems that the old man can't rest in this capital for a few days. I'm tired, you two young go to the trial, and come find me when you have the result."

·

In the fourth year of Jingxing, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

On the first day of the new year's reign, word spread that Wu Liangman, the eldest son of the Wu family, was detained in the prison of the Ministry of Justice overnight, causing an uproar in the court.

Perhaps the Wu family has been arrogant and domineering for a long time, and they have always looked down on those who are lower than their lintels. They have offended many people, and the Wu family has done too many nasty things, so no one in the court defends the Wu family.

The interrogation between Yun Jiangli and Yu Chiche didn't go well, they refused to tell if there were any accomplices in Beijing, and killed a businessman who only said they came to Beijing for business.

After watching for a while, he couldn't ask any more questions. The Dasheng Dynasty has always been strict with the law, and no one can use lynching.Helpless, the person can only be transferred to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Prince Cheng and Yun Jiangli respectively placed people to watch over them, for fear that something might go wrong in the Ministry of Punishment.

·

When Yan Muning woke up, he yawned and looked around the room, but there was no sign of Yun Jiangli.Seeing that Du Zhong was waiting outside, he frowned and asked, "Your young hall master has gone out?"

Du Zhong looked at Eleven beside him in embarrassment, wondering if he should answer the question truthfully.

Eleven hurriedly answered for him: "Yes, the young master went to the Shizi Mansion last night for urgent matters."

As soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Yun Jiangli entered the room wrapped in a cold air.

The little prince was about to go up to him, when Yun Jiangli took off his cloak and said, "Why did you get up so early today? I'm cold, don't come over and freeze you in a middle coat."

Yan Muning didn't listen to his tricks, he pulled his cold hands and brought them inside: "How can I be so delicate? Come in and warm yourself by the fire, your hands are cold."

Turning to Eleven again, he said: "Send it in early, I will use it in the room with the young hall master."

Standing face to face by the fireplace, the little prince covered the big beauty with his hands, looked up at the blue eyes of the person in front of him, and said unhappy, "But you haven't slept all night? Why are you so embarrassing about something urgent?"

Yun Jiangli picked the key points in a few words.

The little prince frowned upon hearing this: "Are the Wu family in a hurry to die!"

Yun Jiangli, whose hands had already warmed up, raised his hand to rub the little prince's cheek at this moment: "Don't worry, we are here."

The young couple stayed at the kang table and had an affectionate breakfast.

Yan Muning was distressed that he hadn't slept all night, and forced someone to accompany him to take a nap on the warm couch for half an hour.

From this day on, Yun Jiangli became extremely busy.

Not only was he busy, but Prince Cheng was even more busy. He hadn't visited Yan Muning at Prince An's mansion for more than ten days.

It's okay to be busy during the day, but gradually in the past few days, I often come back later and later at night.

Although Yun Jiangli is not in the palace, but he really misses the little prince in his heart, so he can only ask his old man not to go back to the Yun residence for the time being, and stay in Prince An's mansion to take care of the little prince for him, so that he can feel a little more at ease Some.

In the first few days, Yu Chizhao was still able to come and chat with the little prince, but later on, even Yu Chizhao started to get busy with him.

The little prince has a little mood.

He didn't blame no one to accompany him, but he couldn't tell what it was like seeing everyone running around while he could only stay in the mansion.

In the afternoon of this day, the little prince was inexplicably depressed, and after a nap, he was awakened by a nightmare.

The cub in the womb seemed to feel the same emotion as him. When he woke up, the panic in his heart had not subsided, and the cub in the womb began to writhe vigorously.

Although Zai is a lively and active person, it is the first time that he is as noisy as he is now.

The little prince frowned, supported the couch with one hand and sat up slightly, while the other hand tightly covered his belly to comfort the cub.

The cub was extremely disobedient today, and the comfort in the past was always effective, but now he was writhing endlessly, causing Yan Muning's waist and abdomen to hurt, and his stomach was also very uncomfortable.

The little prince couldn't hold back a soft hum.

Eleven and Chenmo, who were guarding the outside room, heard the sound and immediately went inside, only to see the little prince biting his lip, his face pale, and his forehead covered with cold sweat.

Eleven was so frightened that he rushed forward: "Master! What's wrong with you!"

Chen Mo calmed down a little, immediately turned around and left the room, and rushed to ask the old hall master to come over.

"Ten, eleven, don't panic, help me sit up..."

The little prince said with a trembling voice.

When the old hall master rushed over, the young prince's face just calmed down a little, looking at the panting old man, he pursed his lips and smiled in embarrassment.

"My child, thank you for your hard work."

The old hall master seldom called the young prince "His Royal Highness", but Yan Muning refused to let him, but felt that calling him this way was closer.

The old hall master felt Yan Muning's pulse, touched his lower abdomen, and said, "I told you to think less, but you didn't listen?"

"You, this little bastard is connected with your blood. If you worry too much, he won't live in peace." The old hall master patiently enlightened the little prince: "Jiang Li is involved in all the big things, my child, you Just relax."

Yan Muning nodded obediently.

Not long after, Du Zhong followed the old hall master's order and brought a bowl of decoction to soothe the fetus and soothe the nerves.

The little prince didn't say a single extra word, just raised his head and drank the bitter soup.

Eleven watched from the sidelines, feeling distressed.

"You all go down, I want to sleep for a while." After finishing speaking, the little prince lay on the warm couch and pulled a fur blanket over the bed, "Also, don't tell Yun Jiangli."

Yan Muning lay face down, with his hands on his belly, the cub was much more peaceful than before, but he still moved from time to time, the little prince bowed in pain.

His tightly closed eyes trembled violently, and his eye sockets were flushed, as if he was trying his best to endure something.

Although the young prince obeyed Prince An's order and did not go to find Yun Jiangli, the old hall master cared more about the young man who was pregnant with a cub, and directly asked Du Zhong to go and complain to Yun Jiangli.

Therefore, Master Yun hurried back to Prince An's mansion when he got the news, and directly harvested a young man who was curled up on the warm couch and secretly crying.

"Xiaoqi, what's wrong with you?"

Yun Jiangli sat by the couch and asked softly.

The little prince, who was covering his head and crying secretly, was taken aback. He didn't expect why the beauty suddenly appeared, and felt that it would be embarrassing to be caught crying, so he muttered angrily with his head covered: "I don't feel uncomfortable..."

The thick nasal voice startled Yun Jiangli, he couldn't help but pull him out of the fur blanket, hugged him in his arms and looked at the young man whose eyes and nose were red from crying, he was very pitiful.

"Little ancestor, are you trying to kill me?" Yun Jiang was so distressed that he put his arms around the man and patted his back gently.

The little prince didn't speak, just twitched in the familiar embrace.

Yun Jiangli seemed to be coaxing a child, shaking gently: "I heard Du Zhong said that you are not feeling well, and it frightened me."

While talking, he lowered his head and kissed the corner of the young man's lips, but unexpectedly tasted a bit of bitterness: "What? Did you drink the soup?"

Immediately, Yun Jiangli became a little nervous, pinched the young man's wrist and felt his pulse intently.

"sorry."

Yun Jiangli sensed the unease and worry of the little prince, and blamed himself to death, soothed softly: "It's all my fault, which made you sad."

"No, no."

Yan Muning muttered in a low voice, and because he had just cried, he said intermittently: "I'm not... I feel so useless... I don't want to cry, but I don't know why, I just feel sad."

"You're pregnant, and it's normal to be in a bad mood."

Yun Jiangli explained patiently sentence by sentence: "I couldn't stay with you all the time, it's just my fault."

"You may not know that sometimes I return home a little later, but I'm always there. I sleep with you in my arms every night, and I leave earlier in the morning. It's not that I haven't come back."

The little prince really didn't know, many times he fell asleep when he got tired of waiting, and he didn't see Yun Jiangli for two or three days.

Hearing what he said now, the little prince thought about it carefully, no wonder when he wakes up every day, he does feel that he slept peacefully at night, and his whole body is filled with the aura of Yun Jiangli.

While rubbing his sore waist for him, Yun Jiangli coaxed him.Seeing that the young man's mood eased a lot, he ordered Eleven to fetch some clear porridge.

"I heard that you don't eat much for lunch, how about I feed you some light porridge?"

When the little prince stopped crying, Yun Jiangli took a warm handkerchief and wiped his cheeks all over, laughing at him.The little prince offended was so annoyed that he didn't want to talk to anyone.

After feeding Yan Muning a small bowl of porridge, Yun Jiangli hugged him in his arms, and told him in detail about the things he has been busy with these days.

From this day on, if the little prince wakes up in the morning and doesn't see Yun Jiangli, he will also see the note he left for himself beside his pillow. Joking about the little prince snoring and talking in his sleep...

In short, Yan Muning could feel Yun Jiangli's love and strong attachment to him all the time.

And the little prince also learned to leave notes and cakes silently during the days when the great beauty came home late, talking about his little things today, and thinking about people not going to sleep hungry.

In this busy and chaotic first month, Prince An and his wife had another sweet experience.

·

On the 28th of the first lunar month, the capital, which was originally warmer, ushered in a heavy snowfall.

Overnight, the entire capital city was a vast expanse of whiteness.

Along with the heavy snowfall, there are some equally chilling news——

The Wu family allowed the armies of Dachun and Xianglong to enter the territory from the northern end of the Dacheng Dynasty, and now the army of the enemy country has camped in the northern border area.

Although there was no direct war, the intention was already obvious enough.

"Snow Bamboo" had the fastest news channel, and after Yun Jiangli learned of the matter at the first time, he directly asked for an order to come to the palace to meet the saint.

Half an hour later, there was a group of courtiers standing in Linhua Hall, all of them frowning.

Dasheng's vassal kings and generals guarding all the lands are dedicated to guarding Dasheng's territory. As the Sheng Dynasty grows stronger, it has been many years since such a war has been encountered.So much so that when they heard the news suddenly, some ministers who were only used to being stable in Beijing actually thought about asking for peace.

The young emperor was rarely angry, and on the spot several timid and timid people were dismissed from their official positions and blasted out of the Linhua Hall.

At this moment, the emperor, who was still angry, dismissed all the ministers, leaving only the old prince Yuchi, Prince Cheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet and the Ministry of war.

The old prince Yuchi stood up first, with a firm face, and calmly said: "Your Majesty, this old minister is not too old to fight. I also hope that your majesty will allow this old minister to return to the western region today. With my Weichi family here, those wolf cubs in the west will definitely pack up their clothes." Docile post!"

The emperor couldn't bear it and said: "Uncle Wang, you...you know that I want you to take a good rest."

"The old minister's body is still very strong, and he can still guard this country for His Majesty!"

Old Prince Yuchi smiled heartily.

The emperor took a deep breath, closed his eyes and couldn't bear to say: "I'm sure."

The chief minister of the cabinet hurriedly smiled and eased the atmosphere, and praised the old prince's righteousness again and again.

But the next problem is even more difficult. With the old prince Yuchi personally sitting in the western region, he must be able to easily suppress Xiqi and most of the Xianglong army.

But what about the northern border?

The most serious problem right now is the northern border, and the northern border is also closer to the capital.

Prince Cheng took a step forward, cupped his fists and said, "My brother is willing to personally lead the troops to the northern border."

As soon as he said this, several people in the hall fell silent.

When the late emperor was in power, the two lords with great military exploits were Prince Yi and Prince Cheng. Both of them were brave and strategic military leaders, but now... Prince Yi has passed away, and Prince Cheng has already surrendered his military power. , in the capital to assist the present Holy Majesty with all his strength.

If Prince Cheng leads the army again, his ability is no problem, but there are no generals guarding the capital.

Although there are generals in the armies of various places, it is quite difficult to fight against the Wu family now, and they need someone who can command the overall situation.

Linhua Hall was quiet for a long time.

The emperor supported his forehead, waved his hands wearily and said: "You guys go down first. Let me think about it."

·

It was snowing heavily today, Yun Jiangli stayed in Prince An's mansion and did not go out after his face-to-face meeting early in the morning.

After the news of what happened in Linhua Palace spread, he locked himself in the study of Jiayue Pavilion and pondered for a long time.

On his desk was spread out the roster of military attaches in the court.

Yun Jiangli looked carefully and pondered for a long time, Dasheng hadn't had a war for a long time, and there were not many reliable soldiers who could lead troops.

But it is not without, the key is that what is needed this time is a general with the ability to lead the overall situation.

In this way, there are very few people to choose from, and most of them are people who hold important positions in the army in various places, so they cannot be easily transferred.

However, if Prince Cheng personally led the troops to the northern border, then another person would have to be chosen to be responsible for the defense of the capital. This matter was more difficult than choosing a general to lead the army.

After thinking about it, if Yuchiche led the army, it would be a solution.

It's just that there is no problem for the major general to lead troops into battle alone to kill the enemy, but this major general has little experience in the art of war, and this time he is facing the coalition forces that have been planned for a long time, so he must have a suitable military adviser to assist him. The safest.

And this soldier...

You are the best candidate.

But what about Yan Muning?

Yun Jiangli has never been in such a dilemma.

If he went north with the army, what would his lover, his little Qi, do?

A war, even if it goes smoothly, will take at least two or three months. Although the young prince is looking at a safe pregnancy, there are always risks in pregnancy, let alone a man who is pregnant?

If the war was delayed a little, he might miss the boy's childbirth period, how could the little prince endure the pain of childbirth without him by the side?

Yun Jiangli didn't dare to think about it and couldn't think about it.

He closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair with his head raised, his hands crossed on his forehead, and he didn't move for a long time.

How should he choose between family, country and lover?

·

Outside the study, Yan Muning stood in front of the door for a long time.

He also already knew what happened in Linhua Palace, just now Yu Chizhao hastily sent someone to hand him a note——

Ah Ning, I have invited the decree to enter the palace. I will invite my troops to go north and wait for my good news!

The little prince held the note and rubbed it for a long time.

He understood all the twists and turns in the court, what Yun Jiangli could think of, how could Yan Muning not think of it?

There are only a few people who can use it right now, and the safest and surest choice is only that one.

The little prince's hand was gently placed on the door rail of the study room, through the thin door, he seemed to be able to clearly feel how embarrassed his beloved was at this moment.

So what about me, how can I help him make a choice?

The author says:

The most difficult multiple choice question.
