Chapter 552 The sky is blue and waiting for misty rain
That night, Li Chenan slept on Wen Xiaowan's bed.
I have to say that Wen Xiaowan’s back-beating technique is excellent. Li Chenan has been a little tired these days, so he fell asleep quickly. Of course, nothing happened.
When he got up early the next morning and came to the yard, Wen Xiaowan was combing her hair in the yard, looking at him with a little resentment.
She was wearing a white gauze nightgown, and her delicate figure was displayed in front of Li Chenan at a glance.
Her black hair draped down her shoulders, and the comb in her hand slid smoothly from the top of her head to the ends, and then fell on top of her head again with the wave of her pink and white arm as much as lotus root.
Her head was tilted, and she was tilting her head to Li Chenan.
Li Chenan stared at her intently.
"Okay?"
"good!"
"Okay, you'll have more."
"There are still some things today, so I will keep them for the future."
Wen Xiaowan bit her lip with her silver teeth, "Do you know that you sleep like a pig!"
“…”
"Aren't you worried that I'll eat you?"
Li Chenan smiled, "Actually, I am a passive type."
Wen Xiaowan's hand stopped, thought for a while, and her face suddenly turned red, "So, do I still need to take the initiative?"
Li Chenan walked out, "Next time, you can try it next time!"
Wen Xiaowan glared at Li Chenan's back and suddenly burst into laughter. When Li Chenan disappeared behind the screen wall, the smile on her face slowly calmed down, but she became lonely.
She sighed.
She got up and went back to the room. After half a stick of incense, she had completely changed her appearance.
She was wearing a black outfit, a sword on her back, and a black facial scarf on her face.
She jumped to the roof and then ran towards the east gate of Guangling City.
...
...
Boil the rain and build it.
Li Chenan and Yang Sixian got on the carriage driven by Wu Xichen, and a total of five carriages headed towards the east gate.
"Old Yang, I really want to keep you in Guangling City for more days."
"Hahahaha, if you have this kind of heart, I will be very content."
"I am in a hurry to go back to Kyoto. First, I have to hand in the matter after it is done, and second, I have... there is indeed something else in Kyoto."
After pausing, Yang Sixian suddenly sighed, "I wonder if you have heard of Princess Sulin going to Mobei to marry Dahuang Kingdom."
Li Chenan was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
"Brothering? I heard that the army of the Great Wilderness Kingdom occupied the Jiuyin City of our Ning Kingdom... The above means to use the method of marriage to resolve the invasion of the Great Wilderness Kingdom?"
"Well, this battle cannot be fought! You can't let His Highness fight this battle!"
“Why?”
"Because the Ministry of Revenue is not only without food, but also without silver. In war, it is just a silver to fight. In addition, you should also know that Prime Minister Ji is on the side of the second prince."
"The General Xiahou Zhuo of Beimo is the slave of His Highness the Crown Prince. The defeat in Jiuyin City... was a deliberate defeat! The purpose was to let His Highness lead his army to fight in person to increase the prestige of the Crown Prince in the army."
"Of course this doesn't work. It would be very dangerous to release the prince from the palace. It would be better for him to be in the East Palace."
"But the war in Mobei cannot expand anymore. Xiahou Zhuo's army is guarding the Jingshan line a hundred miles away from Jiuyin City... He did not lead the troops to counterattack, and gave the Ministry of War the reason was that there was no food and grass on the front line, and he still hoped that His Royal Highness could bring his troops and grass to support him."
Li Chenan frowned and said, "The Emperor did not issue an order to him?"
Yang Sixian grinned, "The Emperor did not issue an order to him! But the Emperor sent an envoy to Jiuyin City."
"Yuwen Feng, the king of the Great Wilderness Kingdom, was in Jiuyin City, so a marriage agreement was reached. Princess Sulin also headed towards the northern desert when she left Kyoto."
"What does Princess Sulin have to do with her marriage? What does it have to do with your return to Kyoto?"
"The princess's ceremonial guard was very slow. After I rushed back to Kyoto, I had to catch up with Princess Silin's ceremonial guard and followed her to Jiuyin City, and even went to the Great Wilderness City, the capital of the wild country."
"On there, Li Jingsi's layout is earlier and wider than our Yulong Association. Prime Minister Ji believes that Yulong Association also needs to be arranged there, first, to obtain information from the Great Wilderness Kingdom as soon as possible, and second, of course, to continue to suppress Li Jingsi on the other side."
Li Chenan understood.
But he found it a bit ridiculous.
A general who guarded the border allowed the enemy to invade the country in order to make the prince's military achievements!
He remembered what Zhao Si said in Taohuaxi winery.
Zhao Si escaped from Jiuyin City. He said that when the Great Wilderness army broke through the city, the place was simply hell on earth.
I don't know how many people died.
It is really a way to regard human life as a mustard.
There is also such a broken country, such a big country, the Ministry of Revenue has no money and food to support a local war... It is so poor that the emperor is still building the Changle Palace on a large scale!
The prime minister in the court did not think about how to expel the enemy, nor how to make Ningguo's economy develop.
What he was thinking about was how to attack his political opponents, and he took this opportunity to let Yulong go there to fight Li Jingsi...
On the contrary, the poor Princess Sulin took on the heavy task of making Ningguo peaceful.
When a country needs a woman to do this, the country is almost over.
Mrs. Fan obviously came into being in this situation, so she set up a backup plan in Shuzhou.
"Old Yang, I'll ask you something you shouldn't have asked... What should I do if the country is not in the long run?"
Yang Sixian sent Li Chenan, "When the sky fell, there was a tall one standing against him, what are you afraid of?"
He lifted a corner of the curtain and pointed outside, "You, Guangling City is still prosperous, and Yujing City is still singing and dancing to peace."
"Whether the wealthy merchants or the ministers in the court are unwilling to accept such things as war, because war will kill people and may lead to some uncontrollable accidents."
"They don't want to really change the dynasty, because they finally got to this day. If they really change the dynasty, they will lose the greatest loss."
"So don't worry about anything. They won't let Ning Guo fall. Marriage is the best way. Although losing Jiuyin City is just a piece of land? For them, there is no loss!"
Li Chenan was speechless.
But this is indeed the truth.
Even if the marriage cannot be done, they can make a compensation for land cedes.
As long as their interests can be guaranteed, those people... are displaced or even died, so what?
This is the tragedy of this era.
Li Chenan realized the seriousness of this problem for the first time.
The carriage stopped when it reached Huajian Pavilion.
Li Chenan and Yang Sixian got off the carriage, and he took Yang Sixian to another carriage.
"I thought I would go to Kyoto for a few days and have another drink with you. Now when I come to Kyoto, you may have set off to Mobei... Take care of Mr. Yang!"
"Somewhat regrets, but after you go to Kyoto, you can go find Feng Xishan, who is the elder of the Yulong Society and is also my husband's close friend."
"Thank you Mr. Yang!"
“No need to be polite.”
"Please get in the car with Mr. Yang."
"Well, manage this Guanglingzhou well."
Yang Sixian got on his carriage, and the two waved goodbye through the car window, and they really felt reluctant to leave.
Li Chenan watched Yang Sixian's convoy leave. He was just about to board his carriage, but suddenly saw a man in black passing by in the sky.
