Chapter 306 Ling Xuanyi's Expedition
When Ling Xuanyi read this news, all the civil and military officials in the court took a breath. Even those who only said a little in advance and were mentally prepared, they still couldn't escape the shock of a beat of their heartbeat.
An old man, a duke who had been through three dynasties, disappeared like this.
Think about the Lu Mansion, which old Duke's wife is over 70 years old and blind in her eyes. Who dares to report this bad news, how can she bear to report it?
"What else is there to say in the military newspaper?" The question of the Western Qin Emperor Ling Han made the ministers present feel heart again, and they were all guessing. Could it be that there was other news in the military newspaper, and something more tragic than the death of the Duke of Yan?
However, Ling Qian's question also shows that he had not finished watching the battle report completely when he just watched the battle report. I am afraid that when he saw Duke Yan die in battle, he couldn't bear to continue watching, so this question would happen.
Ling Xuanyi turned his head slightly, looked at the battle report in his hand, and then said: "Du Qing, the general of the army, fought to death at the Weizhou County City with the old Duke. The bodies of the two were both captured by the Beimo and hung outside the south gate of the Weizhou County City to warn me of the Western Qin!
In addition, the bodies of more than 10,000 soldiers who died in this battle were beheaded. More than 10,000 heads were arranged in sequence and placed on the official road to Pingzhou..."
When Ling Xuanyi said this, all the Western Qin ministers present had already started to clamor. Some cursed and cried, some cursed the heaven and earth, and some stood up on the spot to lead troops to avenge the revenge of the Yan State Commodore and clear the bandits for the Western Qin.
Looking at these people in Antian Palace, it can be said that they have never been united before. But Ling Xuanyi knew in his heart that it would be good to have half of these people who could speak and say a word. Those who seemed to be the most sad, angry and excited, were probably the most unreliable ones.
I remembered that during his lifetime, Duke Yan had protected him several times and instead helped the Prince's Mansion of Zhaojun. Even though he was arrogant and bullied, he was impeached by many court officials, Duke Yan and other old officials still stood on his side.
But now it's only a few months old, and the old man who was still shouting at the King of Zhaojun's Mansion to eat with wine was already dead on the battlefield, and his body was so desecrated by the enemy.
Ling Xuanyi secretly pinched his hands tightly. Although he didn't say it, his heart was extremely painful!
A sudden incident caused the Western Qin Dynasty to fall silent. In the morning, he did not discuss any quick remedies. He sent troops again. Although they were proposed, the people who led their troops to resist foreign invaders could not be selected for a while.
Many people have proposed the prince of Zhao County, but it is about to enter June. It is only more than two months before August. If Ling Xuanyi leads his army to Weizhou, even if he is accompanied by thunder, he may not be able to return triumphantly before August.
Along the way, Ling Xuanyi was depressed.
That night, after just learning that the old Duke of Yan's mansion died in the war, it was reported that the old lady was reluctant to leave the Duke of Yan. When there was no one in the middle of the night, she carried the armor that the Duke of Yan had used and committed suicide by taking poison!
In just one day, the Duke of Yan's Mansion died one after another, which made people feel endless sad.
Xi Ningyu was also known as the future prince of the Zhao County Prince at this time, and it was just a matter of waiting for the journey. Therefore, the Duke of Yan's Mansion was so mourning that she naturally had to take people to worship. Naturally, she also saw this miserable and sad scene with her own eyes, and also witnessed the heart-wrenching appearance of several descendants of the Duke of Yan's Mansion.
It is naturally impossible to say that Xi Ningyu would not be moved by it. Even the most rational person would be moved even if he saw these scenes.
In addition, for several consecutive days, Ling Xuanyi's smile that was floating on the surface but not inside was seen. Xi Ningyu saw it and often heard about Duke Yan's feelings for the Prince of Zhao County.
"Go, as a man, defending the country is his duty, not to mention that you are a blood relative of the Emperor's family and a royal family. If you take another step back, even if Duke Yan once maintained and cared for you, you can't watch him be so humiliated after he was defeated." Xi Ningyu arrived at the Prince's Mansion of Zhaojun early this morning. After waiting for a while, when he saw Ling Xuanyi return to his house, he personally brought him a cup of tea and said these words.
Ling Xuanyi raised his head and looked at Xi Ningyu in front of him. "But, looking at August..."
Xi Ningyu smiled faintly, turned around and sat on the chair next to Ling Xuanyi. Then he looked into Ling Xuanyi's eyes and said, "Do you really don't want to go? Or are you just afraid that you will miss the wedding date and make me angry?"
Ling Xuanyi was silent and held the teacup in his hand. For a moment, only Xi Ningyu and Ling Xuanyi sat side by side in the hall of the prince's mansion, and no one said a word.
The two of them sat quietly for an hour. Ling Xuanyi slowly raised his hand and drank the cup of tea that had already been cold. "Wait for me, when I sweep the Beimo and sing the triumphant songs, I will welcome you through the mansion, accompany you to watch the leisure clouds all your life, and enjoy the day of your life!"
After saying that, Ling Xuanyi put down the teacup, and with a reluctance, he stared at Xi Ningyu tightly before leaving the door. Then he resolutely turned around and left the palace and headed towards the palace.
Three days later, Ling Xuanyi, the prince of Zhao County, was ordered to lead an army of 100,000 and dozens of generals to set off from the Western Qin Emperor Capital to Pingzhou.
The rolling marching team passed by the northern gate of the imperial capital in a majestic and fierce manner, and the bright swords, spears, swords, and iron armor and steel helmets reflected by blacks. The 100,000 soldiers were solemn and solemn, making people feel cold when they look at it. When they look at it, they will be thrilling.
The Emperor of Western Qin, Ling Qian, stood at the north gate, and went on a strong journey for Ling Xuanyi. "It is worthy of being the soldiers trained by Xuanyi, and they are not the same as those led by the old Duke before. Although they are all elite, these under Xuanyi's hands are even more of the soul-killing heroes who have been killed for a long time and have never faded in blood!"
The 100,000 people led by Ling Xuanyi this time, except for more than 20,000 people, were ordinary elite soldiers. Most of them had followed Ling Xuanyi, participated in the Northern Yan dispute, and experienced several or even dozens of bloody elites in the battle formations of all sizes.
Some of them were still under Ling Xuanyi's hands after returning to the court. Therefore, they never stopped training and were pulled out from time to time to sweep away the bandits and thieves in some places, so that they often stayed in the killing. Therefore, not only did they not see these soldiers getting lazy, but they were even more slaughtering than they were back then!
"This time, after Xuan Yi pacified the Kou team, I will personally take the marriage for you two." Ling Qian knew that Ling Xuanyi would definitely miss the marriage date between him and Xi Ningyu, so he said to Xi Ningyu at this time that he wanted to marry him personally in order to appease Xi Ningyu.
But this was just a nonsense to Xi Ningyu's ears. "Look at what Your Majesty said, it seems that if there was no such incident, you would not have been to the princess of the Zhaojun Prince's Mansion. Do you think Ling Xuanyi will let you go when he is the princess of Zhaojun Palace?!"
"Uh, this..." Ling Qian was speechless for a moment.
"Puff--just joking, your majesty, don't blame me!" Seeing that he was blocked by his words, Xi Ningyu couldn't help laughing when he saw Ling Qian's awkward face.
"Hey! Why did you learn from him a stubborn person?" Ling Qian showed a rare look of laughter and crying. These days, since the news of the death of Yan's Duke's death, Ling Qian has been in a depressed and depressed all day long.
This will be teased by Xi Ningyu, and finally a little smile on his face. "Forget it, it will take some days for him to come back. If you are empty on weekdays, come to the palace more often and give me a visit. I think the medicine you gave last time is good."
Xi Ningyu nodded, saying that he had responded to the words of the Western Qin Emperor. Then he turned his head and looked at the soldiers who were gradually moving away and some figure.
After Ling Xuanyi left, the Zhaojun Prince's Mansion was naturally led by Xi Ningyu. In addition, even Fuqin was promoted to the army this time, so in the prince's mansion, there was only the butler, Old Man Hao, the housekeeper in Xi Ningyu.
The next morning, Xi Ningyu took several close maids, as well as Qing Qiong, Qing Cai, Qing Lian and others, and packed up some common things, and temporarily moved to the Crown Prince's Mansion. However, Qingying was left behind and dealt with the daily chores there in the "Renrui County Lord" mansion.
...
Since the New Year, in order to retaliate, the prince secretly asked the Duanmu family members to rush to Huaizhou and destroyed Xi Ningyu's business context there. The young master of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Tianyou, not only fulfilled the prince's order, but also secretly deliberately let go of Lian Zeqian, Shi Hanxue and others who Xi Ningyu had to use.
But after dealing with these, Duanmu Tianyou stayed in Huaizhou for a few more months. He secretly arranged and handled some private affairs of the Duanmu family. He had just returned to the imperial capital and learned about Xi Ningyu and Ling Xuanyi's engagement within a few days.
Duanmu Tianyou had never taken a step forward for half a month. Early this morning, as the door of Duanmu Mansion opened, Duanmu Tianyou walked out from inside, the young master of the Duanmu family.
"Young Master, you haven't left the house one day. Are you planning to go today, go for fun, or go to check the accounts at a shop?" The close-fitting servant asked with his mouth tightly as soon as he left Duanmu Tianyou.
"Go and see an old friend, a heartless person!" Duanmu Tianyou said that, then turned around and walked around the carriage parked at the door and walked along the street.
Seeing this, his close servant could only smile bitterly, and followed Duanmu Tianyou tightly and began to overtake the road with his legs!
The two walked all the way to the "Renrui County Lord" mansion. When they arrived at the door, Duanmu Tianyou raised his head and looked in. Seeing two servants dressed in servants standing at the door, as well as maids and servants who walked around from time to time in the door. Duanmu Tianyou snorted lightly, then raised his legs and went up the steps.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" The servant guarding outside the door saw Duanmu Tianyou want to walk inside the door, hurriedly walked in front of him and stopped Duanmu Tianyou and asked.
After all, the main owner in the mansion was not here at this time, so he had moved to the prince's mansion to serve as a director. So if the person coming was a guest, it would be better to inform him immediately, so as to save the delay of the master's affairs.
But when Duanmu Tianyou saw that he was stopped, he snorted coldly, raised his hand and slapped the servant who came forward to ask questions and slapped the door through the outside of the door!
"You! You are so arrogant. Do you know who lives here? How dare you hit someone here?" Another servant saw Duanmu Tianyou beat someone for no reason, so he pointed at Duanmu Tianyou angrily and asked.
"Bang!"
Another sound, and then another servant guarding outside the door was shot into the door by Duanmu Tianyou!
"Stop!" A sudden shout came from the door!
Chapter completed!
