Chapter 423 Heading to Yongzhou
Concubine Wan was completely stunned. She fell to the ground, covering her cheeks, and looked at the emperor in disbelief. "Your Majesty...you, you hit me?"
After knowing the emperor for so many years, he was rarely willing to hit her. Now, he actually hit her. Concubine Wan's heart felt as if a knife was being drilled into her heart. She only felt extremely sad. The emperor couldn't bear to look at her, so he hardened his heart. Heart-hearted, he asked Eunuch Zhou to drag Concubine Wan away from Chengxin Palace with a cold face. Concubine Wan's eyes were full of pain, and she left sadly with tears. Song Hui and others did not continue to force the emperor to punish Concubine Wan. .Their purpose today is not to target Concubine Wan... They presented the crimes of the young generals they collected to the emperor one by one. The emperor looked at the lists, his face as black as coal. These young generals are all Concubine Wan once mentioned the name in his ears. He also promoted several of them personally. Concubine Wan said that these are the talents she has been looking for for him. These people are loyal and will definitely become a big help to him in the future. .Unexpectedly, before these people became mature, they made mistakes and did those bad things, and failed to live up to his expectations for them. Without saying a word, the emperor issued an imperial edict and dismissed these people from their official positions. All property was confiscated and sent to prison. After dealing with these matters, the emperor began to make arrangements for the suppression of bandits in Yongzhou. After thinking about it, there were almost no generals who could be sent to suppress bandits in Yongzhou. Only then did he discover that the court of Nanchu Hall, the shortage of generals is very serious. He actually has no available materials? The emperor can't help but panic. It seems that since the death of Yun Fuqing, some veteran generals have retired and returned to their hometowns, unwilling to continue to serve the country loyally for the Southern Governor. Now. Now that he can name, there are only a few generals who can be used. The only one who can take charge of his own affairs and is worthy of a big task is Zou Kai, who was sent to the border not long ago. The emperor's face was full of embarrassment, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiao Tingyan. , asked in a low voice: "Ting Yan, who do you think can go to Yongzhou to suppress the bandits?"
Xiao Tingyan's eyes slowly fell on Yun Luan. "Brother Huang, since Ah Luan has taken the initiative to ask for help and wants to go to Yongzhou, you should let her lead the troops there. Besides, Yongzhou is the territory you gave her, you It would be perfect to send her there."
The emperor looked at Yun Luan. Yun Luan immediately stood up and knelt down again. "I beg your majesty for your permission... Please rest assured, your majesty. I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations, wipe out the bandits in Yongzhou, and successfully rescue the people from dire straits." .”
Before the emperor could answer, Song Hui led a group of ministers who also agreed. "Your Majesty, the Lord of Taiping County is brave and resourceful, and has fully inherited the heroic demeanor of the general who ruled the country. I believe that she will successfully suppress the mountains of Yongzhou." bandit."
"Yes, the Queen of Taiping County is a woman, she will not let us down."
"The children of the generals who govern the country, both men and women, are brave and fearless heroes."
"I beg your majesty to allow the county lord to lead troops to Yongzhou."
The emperor looked at the situation in front of him. Even if he didn't want Yun Luan to go to Yongzhou, it was impossible. He had no choice but to nod and agree, and he issued the imperial edict. However, he did not allocate many troops to Yun Luan, only giving her 30,000. Xiao Tingyan frowned, his eyes full of displeasure. "Brother Emperor, 30,000 troops are too few. It is difficult to deal with the bandits in Yongzhou."
However, the emperor pretended to be confused and looked at Yun Luan with a smile and said: "Those bandits are a mob. They only opened the gate of Yongzhou by relying on the terrain and their cooperation with the people."
"In my opinion, they are nothing to be afraid of. Besides, it's not that I don't want to give the county lord more troops. There are really no extra soldiers to send to Yongzhou. Since the death of General Zhenguo, our Southern Reserve's troops have also Then the tension grew...at the border, the Liang people were ready to make a move again."
The emperor said and sighed. "I really can't allocate more troops... But I believe that with the courage of the Taiping County Lord, he will conquer the bandits with fewer enemies and restore the reputation of the General's Mansion. .If the county master is not sure, then I can look for other candidates..." Yun Luan clasped his fists, knelt on the ground, and agreed directly. "Thirty thousand is thirty thousand, I will accept the order."
She was eager to rush to Yongzhou. She didn't want to waste time here and continue to argue with the emperor. She was worried about the situation of the third sister and was unwilling to wait any longer. The emperor nodded with a smile: "Okay, then I will wait for Taiping County The Lord has triumphed.”
Yun Luan received the imperial edict, thanked him, stood up immediately, and walked quickly out of the palace. Xiao Tingyan followed him out with a somewhat ugly expression. He grabbed Yun Luan's arm and said, "Thirty thousand troops If it’s too little, I won’t trust you to go to Yongzhou.”
Yun Luan's eyes turned red, and she turned to look at Xiao Tingyan. "Looking at the emperor like that, no matter how hard we force him, he can't send more troops. If we delay for a moment longer, my third sister will be more powerful. Danger, and those innocent people..." "King Yan, I can't lose any of my close relatives. You don't understand how important they are to me..." Xiao Tingyan's eyes were full of heartache. He He pulled her into his arms and hugged her body fiercely. Yun Luan's body, in his arms, could not help but tremble slightly. Xiao Tingyan whispered in a hoarse voice: "My king Clearly, very clearly, how important the people in the General's Mansion are to you."
"If you want to go, then go. I will send more black feather guards to protect you secretly. I am restricted in Kyoto and cannot escape. You must take care of yourself."
Every year, he would be imprisoned in Kyoto. Without the emperor's permission, he could not go anywhere. Yun Luan shook her head, she raised her scarlet eyes and looked at Xiao Tingyan. "It's better to let the Black Feather Guards stay to protect you. , you are still facing many dangers in Kyoto. Some time ago, I was seriously injured. In order to get the Tianshan Snow Lotus in King Duan's hand, you allocated half of Kyoto's power to him. Presumably, there are also Black Feather Guards among them, right? "
Xiao Tingyan was noncommittal. There were almost 30,000 Black Feather Guards he brought from the North. Half of the 30,000 people were divided, leaving more than 10,000 people. This time, he planned to keep a few thousand people and leave the remaining 10,000 people. All the people were allowed to be taken away by Yun Luan. He stared at Yun Luan with burning eyes: "The king is in a controllable area in Kyoto, so leaving a few thousand people behind is enough. Let the rest of the Black Feather Guards follow suit. Only when you go to Yongzhou can I feel completely at ease. Yunluan, please don’t refuse my kindness, okay?"
"If you don't accept my affection, I have nothing to say. We have plenty of time to cultivate our feelings and slowly bring each other's hearts closer to each other. However, you have to give me a chance to get closer to you... If you do this this time If something happens to Yongzhou, we will never have a future."
Yun Luan wiped the wet corners of her eyes, and her heart was filled with emotion. Xiao Tingyan was really good to her. From the moment they met until now, he has always been giving silently. And she just kept giving. Ask him for something. She really owes him a lot. Yun Luan stood on tiptoes and took the initiative to hug Xiao Tingyan. A bit of surprise flashed across Xiao Tingyan's eyes, and he looked at her in disbelief. "Aluan..." "Xiao Tingyan, Thank you, thank you for being so kind to me. Regarding my feelings for you, I will give you a satisfactory answer when I return to Kyoto."
Yun Luan said, standing on tiptoes and kissed Xiao Tingyan's thin lips. Xiao Tingyan was completely stunned, his eyes were full of horror, and he lowered his eyes in disbelief and stared at Yun Luan who took the initiative to kiss him. "A Luan..." "Xiao Tingyan, wait for me to come back!"
Yun Luan raised his head and stared into his eyes. Xiao Tingyan's heart was beating very fast. At this moment, he felt as if he was dreaming. All of this was unreal! He looked particularly at a loss... There gradually became some blush, and then it spread, extending to his neck and even his entire face. Yun Luan looked at his dull expression and couldn't help but smile. Xiao Tingyan touched his nose uncomfortably and coughed a few times. "Have you begun to care about me gradually?"
His eyes almost didn't dare to look at Yun Luan, and he evadedly glanced away. Yun Luan nodded slowly and noncommittally: "To be honest, I do have different emotions towards you. For example, your kiss last night, I don’t even find it annoying.”
"If it were another man who kissed me, I'm afraid I would go crazy on the spot and send that man to hell. Because it's you, I think it's acceptable..." Xiao Tingyan's eyes were filled with joy. His eyes were bright. He looked at Yun Luan: "Is everything you said true?"
Yun Luan raised her eyebrows and looked at his cautious and disbelieving look. She suppressed the smile on her lips and looked at Xiao Tingyan's eyebrows very seriously. "Xiao Tingyan, give me some time. When I return to Yongzhou, I want to , I will get the answer.”
Xiao Tingyan suddenly felt a sore nose for some reason. He hugged Yun Luan without saying a word. He hugged her thin body, thinking that there was still poison left in her body, and his eyes were full of worry. She went to Yongzhou to suppress The bandit must use her internal strength. When the time comes, once she uses her internal strength, not only will the poison spread, but her originally dilapidated body will also accelerate its decline. No, he must not let her go to Yongzhou like this with the poison all over her body. Doctor Lu last night He had just come back and after taking a rest, he began to develop an antidote for Yun Luan. Unfortunately, the antidote has not been developed yet. Xiao Tingyan's face darkened again and again. He immediately made up his mind and made an antidote. Decided. Xiao Tingyan put her thin lips close to Yun Luan's ear and whispered in a low voice. "A Luan, please wait for me at the city gate for two hours... okay?"
Yun Luan was startled, and she looked at Xiao Tingyan with some confusion: "The situation is critical, I want to leave now. I took your majesty's token and mobilized 30,000 troops. It only takes half an hour. What can you do? You can tell me now, let's say goodbye here..." Xiao Tingyan pressed her shoulders tightly: "No matter what, you must wait for me. Aluan, just think of it as me begging you..." Yun Luan Looking at his pleading eyes, her heart softened unconsciously. As soon as she nodded, Xiao Tingyan let go of her and strode away. He ran very fast, and she didn't even call him to stop him. Opportunity. Xiao Tingyan quickly left the palace and hurried back to Prince Yan's Mansion. At that time, Divine Doctor Lu was developing an antidote in the pharmacy. Xiao Tingyan rushed in anxiously and asked eagerly: "How is it? Has the antidote been successfully developed? ?”
Divine Doctor Lu raised his sleeves, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied with a soft sigh. "The antidote has been successfully developed, but it's just a little short of the heat. I have to add another medicinal ingredient, maybe to achieve the best results." Excellent detoxification effect.”
Xiao Tingyan looked at the incompletely prepared pills, pursed his thin lips and said, "It's too late."
Doctor Lu's eyes were full of surprise. He raised his head and looked at Xiao Tingyan in confusion. "Why is it too late? Could it be that the poison in the county master's body has broken out?"
"It shouldn't be. Didn't I give her some medicine to suppress toxins? Those medicines will not lose their effectiveness in a short period of time. As long as she does not use internal force, there will be no problems with her body."
Xiao Tingyan immediately told Dr. Lu everything about what happened in Yongzhou. When Dr. Lu heard this, his face turned pale with anxiety. "How can that be done? The toxins in the county master's body have not been cleared, and she cannot use her internal power. .How can a person who cannot use his inner strength go to Yongzhou to suppress bandits?"
"Prince Yan, why don't you stop the county master? She is not going to save people, she is going to die..." Xiao Tingyan rubbed his sore eyebrows: "I can't control her thoughts... In her heart, Her family is the most important thing. Even if she dies, she will not let anything happen to anyone in the General's Palace."
Divine Doctor Lu was so anxious that she couldn't remove the toxins in her body.
Xiao Tingyan stared at Divine Doctor Lu with dark eyes: "Is there any other way to remove the toxins from her body? For example, use strong internal force to help her force out the toxins?"
Doctor Lu's body stiffened suddenly. He turned around and looked at Xiao Tingyan blankly. "Prince, you...what do you mean?"
"If this method works, then let's do it."
Xiao Tingyan looked at Divine Doctor Lu's eyebrows, and he immediately understood that this method was feasible. Divine Doctor Lu immediately objected: "No, I don't agree. My lord, if you use your internal power to force out toxins for her, your body will collapse." ...In the past few years, you have taken a lot of drugs that have made your body weak. The drugs are three parts poisonous. Once you deplete your internal strength, it will cause great damage to your body."
"You can't let yourself get hurt because of the county lord? I don't agree, I absolutely don't agree with you doing this."
Xiao Tingyan ignored the objections of Divine Doctor Lu and replied loudly: "I have made up my mind, and you, Divine Doctor Lu, cannot change my decision."
"Time is running out. Hurry up and follow me to the city gate to detoxify Aluan."
Divine Doctor Lu stomped his feet in annoyance and sat on the ground like a shrew. "I...I won't go, and I won't go even if I die."
"Anyway, I don't agree with this, and I won't do it. You two, you don't take your own life seriously, it really pisses me off."
