Time flies like water, and the end of the month is here in a blink of an eye.
"Young Master, frontline battle report!" Xiao Nanxing sent the latest battle report from Northern Xinjiang.
Xie Lingxi opened the mailbox——
【In the Battle of Pigeon Mountain, General Chen Meng was in a duel with the enemy troops in the Northern Desert. He was defeated by the Northern Desert General Baerhu. He was seriously injured and fell off his horse, and he urgently called for retreat. Our troops were demoralized and fled without fighting. 】
【The Northern Desert was rampant in battle, and no one dared to fight for three days. 】
Xie Lingxi frowned slightly after scanning the battle report.
Xiao Nanxing sighed, "The prince's old illness relapsed, and he took command from the rear. The front line was handed over to General Chen, but... that Balhu, known as the best warrior in the Northern Desert, is unbeatable. Now the war situation is not good for us... "
Xie Lingxi tapped the edge of the table with her index finger, "Bring me the map—"
The guard quickly moved the various objects scattered on the desk and laid out a huge map of the Northern Xinjiang campaign hidden in a secret room.
On the map, circles of various colors are densely marked.
Xie Lingxi's eyes fell on Pigeon Mountain, which is a very important pass. If this place is breached, it will be difficult for our army to stop the terrain behind it...
Xie Lingxi stared at Pigeon Mountain for a long time, then suddenly relaxed his frown, picked up the battle report, and threw it into the mist-filled three-legged beast-faced incense burner.
If he guessed correctly, this strategy was to show the enemy's weakness and paralyze the enemy.
General Chen should be fine.
Otherwise, if Pigeon Mountain was lost, his father would not be able to sit at the rear and command with peace of mind, and he would have to go to the front line even though he was sick.
"Young Master, the Crown Princess wants to see you." Jingzhe came in to report.
Xie Lingxi glanced at the map on the desk. Xiao Nanxing immediately put the map away quickly, and the guard placed the novel toys that he had just removed on the table again.
There is a box of colorful stones, two pots of exotic flowers and plants, an exquisite gold lantern with a painting of a lady, and a colorful koi carp kept in a celadon fish tank.
These are the things dedicated to the Crown Prince everywhere today.
The dandies in Beijing are full of curious stone lanterns, antique treasures, flowers, birds, insects, fish, etc.
At first glance, it looks like a dandy’s desk.
"Let her come in." Xie Lingxi picked up a colored stone and played with it.
Jiang Rong is wearing a snow-colored double-breasted narrow-sleeved top and a crimson woven horse skirt with gold makeup. Her steps are brisk and her eyebrows are slightly curved:
"Husband, the weather is sunny today, very suitable for hunting. Maybe you can take Rong'er with you to go hunting in the countryside?"
After a pause, he continued, "Chen Guangzong and the others have been in Beiwang Mansion for nearly a month. Jingzhe said that the training has achieved some results. I just happened to take them out to practice. Do you think it's okay, husband?"
Xie Lingxi glanced at her dress, "Can you ride a horse?"
Narrow sleeves and pleated skirt are women's riding attire.
"Ah... I can't!" An idea flashed across Jiang Rong's little mind, and he tugged on his sleeves and shook them:
"I heard from my grandmother that my husband is very good at playing polo. Can you teach me how to ride a horse..."
At this moment, Jiang Rong, who comes from a scholarly family, cannot ride a horse.
She learned to ride a horse after the Xie family army was destroyed.
The old concubine worked with her to rebuild Xie Jiajun. She followed her grandmother to learn riding and archery, and military training...
The old prince passed away, and only two women were left supporting the huge Beiwang Mansion.
She had to learn these general affairs that Jiang Rong knew nothing about before.
Of course, Jiang Rong could also find any excuse at this time to say that he had learned to ride a horse when he was still in his boudoir.
but……
I have to pretend that I can’t have sex with my husband!
Xie Lingxi thought Jiang Rong was a bit weird, but logically speaking, she shouldn't be able to do it.
"good."
……
Early summer, Qingsong Mountain.
The noisy cicada forest is more than quiet, and the bird singing mountain is even more secluded.
Chen Guangzong looked at the vast forest in front of him and was so excited that he wanted to cry.
He was imprisoned in another courtyard for more than twenty days, and every day he was either training or doing extra training. He was almost tortured to death.
Wanting nothing more than to escape.
But with a high wall standing to the west and black-clad guards patrolling him, there was no hope for him to escape...
Unexpectedly, God was wise and allowed him to escape from that terrifying cage.
Hahaha!
From today on, I, Mr. Chen, can fly as high as the mountain...
"Brother Chen, where are you going? The Crown Princess told us that each of us should hunt at least one prey. If you go to the outside, where are you going to find the prey!" Zhang Umbrella was puzzled.
Li Si nodded and said, "Yes, yes! Those prey are all ghostly, and they are all hidden inside... We have to go deeper..."
"You two idiots!" Chen Guangzong patted the two of them on the head:
"Do you still want to continue living this miserable life?"
Zhang Umbrella, Li Si and all the other dandies shook their heads.
"Why don't you hurry up and run away! Now that we are out, let's go back to our homes and find our mothers. I don't believe she can still go to my house to find me. My mother will never let her take me away!" Chen Guangzong raised his chest, his face full of secret joy that he was about to escape.
"Yes, Brother Chen is right, why don't we escape?"
"Run, run, run. From now on in my life, I will never see Bei Wang Mansion walking around!"
All the dandies suddenly realized it, and followed Chen Guangzong in sprinting one hundred meters to the outside.
soon.
Everyone ran to the outskirts of Qingsong Mountain.
But at the end of the road, I saw a scary and familiar figure.
Under the big pine tree in the distance, Jiang Rong sat drinking tea in his spare time. Behind her were murderous black-clad guards, each holding a bow and arrow, pointing at them.
"Where are you going?" Jiang Rong glanced at the panting dudes and smiled.
A group of dandies were so frightened that they trembled into a ball, their faces full of despair, as if they were mourning for their heirs: wuwuwu, what kind of suffering is this in life.
Only Chen Guangzong stiffened his neck and stood a step forward, trying to maintain his dignity as the leader, "I led them away, it has nothing to do with them! One person does the work and the other takes responsibility! Come at me whatever you want to do!"
Jiang Rong's eyes fell on him, and he obeyed the advice very much, "Okay. Lift the water tank."
The next moment, Chen Guangzong's knees had their own ideas, and he knelt on the ground with a bang.
Chen Guangzong looked pale, decisively bowed to the evil forces, and cried pitifully:
"Prince Princess, I was wrong! I just miss my mother, I want to go back to see her! Wuwu, I can't be filial in front of my mother, I...I am not filial, Wuwuwu..."
"Yes, yes, I miss my mother too!"
"I miss my dad!"
All the dandies agreed.
"It's human nature to miss your parents. It's true that you haven't been home for a long time. When you succeed in your studies, I will definitely give you a holiday and let you go back." Jiang Rong smiled lightly:
"It's a good thing to be filial to your parents. This time, I won't punish you."
Chen Guangzong and others all breathed a sigh of relief.
so close!
It’s a fool’s errand!
"However, I see that you just ran faster than usual in training." Jiang Rong changed the subject and said slowly: "It seems that you don't work hard on weekdays."
"Emerald, read."
Jade immediately took over the words loudly, "The new rules of the Department of Ceremony and Guards include training for cheating and slipping, and the punishment will be doubled."
All the dudes: Woohoo! What an injustice! We usually do our best!
He ran faster than usual when escaping for his life, so... you can't blame us.
Woohoo! I am so wronged!
