Chapter 40: Poems for the Emperor

Yesterday, it rained continuously all night. Shen Ning came to Tingchao Pavilion, and the sweet sound of orchestral strings and bamboo could be faintly heard from the painted boat on the lake.

Holding the White Bone Demon Umbrella, Shen Ning walked on the streets of Zhuque Street. Xiaobai swam playfully on the umbrella. The continuous fighting during this period was extremely depressing. Today's stroll obviously allowed him to release this emotion. come out.

When Shen Ning came to Tingchao Pavilion, the scene inside was just like when he was going to Nanxiang to slay the demon.

It's just that at this moment, Ying Qin was no longer wearing luxurious clothes, but a black outfit. Seeing Shen Ning coming, a smile appeared on his face, he picked up a pot of wine on the stone table, filled it and said: "The army has been stationed. We are outside the city and I will leave soon. Let us two brothers have a few drinks before leaving."

Referring to each other as brothers, Shen Ning knew that Ying Qin was now bidding farewell to him as a friend.

After all, both of them knew in their hearts that the war in the north was tense, and this farewell might mean not seeing each other for several years, so they both let go of their restraints.

After drinking cups of wine, the temperature in the Chao Pavilion seemed to have increased a lot. Ying Qin opened the curtain and let the cool breeze hit him. He sat on the fence, looked at the boats swimming on the lake, and said with a faint smile: "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, you and I have each taken on some responsibility, no matter how big or small. The times when we are so relaxed like now will probably become less and less in the future."

"It will happen, and the world will be peaceful in our lifetime." Shen Ning said with certainty in her tone.

"It will happen...it will happen." Ying Qin murmured and repeated, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "It will happen. This time when I lead the army to go on an expedition, I will definitely seal the wolf in Xu, achieve eternal fame, and let my descendants At least future generations will not have a headache from moving from the north to the south."

Shen Ning was slightly moved and raised her wine glass, "I'm waiting for your good news in Shenjing City."

The two looked at each other and smiled. Ying Qin held the wine glass and talked about business, "I am going to the northern battlefield. My father asked me to select a few people from the Qingyi Division to take to the north. First, I will find suitable training opportunities for them. , and the second is to protect my safety. I took Zi Fulingyue’s name in and out of the list, repeated it many times, and finally decided to let her stay in Shenjing City.”

"Why is this?" Shen Ning frowned slightly.

The Sifang Guards serve as substitutes for the Sifang Guardians in the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Sifang Guardians practice the most advanced techniques in the Great Jin Dynasty. They each have different powers. There is no doubt that they are the leaders in this dynasty. The most cutting-edge representative of practitioners.

Although the northern battlefield is full of crises, is it not an opportunity?

If Zi Fulingyue achieves success in the northern battlefield, she will be able to stand out from other Suzaku ranks, which means that she is more likely to inherit the position of Suzaku guardian.

"Have you forgotten the assassination you suffered that night?" The cold wind blew on Ying Qin's face, and his originally distracted eyes were as sharp as swords, "In fact, long before you were assassinated, other potential practitioners under me We have had similar encounters before. Their methods were clever and they were well prepared, and many people died as a result. However, over the years, neither the Tsing Yi Division nor the secret guards under my command have been able to get any information about them. .There is no doubt that there should still be a force in Shenjing City. They do not belong to the Guishan people or the Evil God Cult. Their purpose is very clear, and all their actions are aimed at me."

Shen Ning had long thought about the assassination in Shenjing City, and it was basically consistent with what Ying Qin said now.

"You want me to assist Zi Fulingyue in investigating this force?" Shen Ning asked.

"After I leave Shenjing City, this force will definitely attack those close to me." Ying Qin filled the empty wine glass with wine and said calmly: "This is the best opportunity to dig them out from behind."

Shen Ning was noncommittal, "Is there anyone you suspect?"

"Of course." Ying Qin drank the wine and felt his throat burning, "At first I doubted King Qin."

Hearing the object of suspicion, Shen Ning's breathing slowed down for a moment. Ying Qin's suspicion was not unfounded. He had been the prince for many years and most of the ministers in the court had a good relationship with him. In addition, he himself was relatively wise and kind. .

There is no reason why ministers should not support such a prince.

As for the Qingyi Department, Ying Qin and Zheng Yang are jointly in charge, and the Jokhang Temple and Tianshi Mansion have never entered the political realm. The remaining suspects can only be other princes who are also qualified to inherit the throne.

The King of Qi was still young and could not have the opportunity to form a powerful force to fight against Qin, so the object of suspicion could only be the King of Qin who established his palace in Shenjing City.

"Fortunately, I later removed King Qin from the list of suspects."

To Shen Ning's surprise, Ying Qin would say this.

"Why?" Shen Ning asked in confusion.

Looking at the looming boat in the drizzle and mist, Ying Qin's eyes showed a hint of emotion, "Because many years ago, I also encountered an assassination. King Qin, who had just entered the spiritual path, was assassinated by an assassin in order to save me. I have scattered my spiritual essence and shattered my vitality veins, and I will never have the chance to practice from now on."

"No wonder." Shen Ning sighed slightly, because at that time there was no enough evidence to win against Qin, so there was no need for the King of Qin to do this.

Although it may have been a deliberate act to clear away suspicions, it was enough for Ying Qin, who valued brotherhood, to remove him from the list of suspects.

"I have only arranged for you and Zi Fulingyue to investigate the forces behind it." Ying Qin said in a deep voice: "If this force is huge, you will inform Wei Liang of the results. He will know what to do next. .”

Since winning over Qin would literally shake the foundation of the Jin Dynasty, Shen Ning naturally accepted the job.

"Your Highness, it's getting late, it's time to set off." The maid standing outside the Tingchao Pavilion warned.

Ying Qin stood up and prepared to leave.

With a "tear" sound, Shen Ning took off a piece of his clothes, dipped his fingers in the cinnabar he carried with him, and wrote a poem.

"We have known each other for many years, and I have nothing else to give you. This poem counts as a new idea of ​​mine."

Ying Qin took the poem and did not read it in a hurry. Instead, he hurried outside the city where the army was stationed.

The army of the Jin Dynasty is composed of three major front armies. Apart from the Xuanjia Army, which has been guarding the border for a long time and rotates every five years, and the Tiance Army, which has been confronting the demon clan for thousands of years, the most elite ones are only the Imperial Guards guarding the Shenjing City.

It was these 100,000 imperial guards who led Qin Ying to the north.

Riding a maroon sweat horse, Ying Qin wore black armor and rushed to the place where the army started.

Gao Shiqi, the Minister of War, had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Ying Qin arriving, he immediately knelt down and said, "I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince."

Ying Qin stood up and dismounted, helped Gao Shiqi up and said, "Master Gao, I still need more advice from you on this trip, so that our officers and soldiers from the Jin Dynasty can expel Beimang as soon as possible and restore peace to the people of the world."

"I must be your majesty, your highness, and the people of the world, and I will do my best without hesitation!" Gao Shiqi said respectfully: "Your highness climbed up to the tower and made the oath before the battle." (The oath is equivalent to the battle formation.

pre-speech)”

Looking at the simple tower built in front of the soldiers, Ying Qin slowly walked up. A thin transparent film covered the starting point. This was a technique practiced by those in the army. In order to protect the army from

Due to the rain, there are probably thousands of people in front of them, all of whom are middle- and high-level officials in the Imperial Guard. Naturally, the army of more than 100,000 people will not leave Shenjing City at the same place, but these generals will bring back the words of winning Qin.

Pass it on to the respective military camps.

"In the thirteenth year of the Jin Dynasty and Yuan Ding, the world was in chaos. The barbarians in the north were not civilized. They bullied our rivers and mountains, humiliated our country, and corpses were everywhere in the land of thousands of miles. Now I have defeated the Qin Dynasty and raised troops to the north, broke through the Helan Mountains, and destroyed Beimang in one battle.

, to create eternal peace for future generations, so that your generals and soldiers can enjoy the praise of the people, be blessed with many glory, and make the Jin Dynasty prosperous forever!"

Although Ying Qin's words were short, they were extremely contagious. When the words fell, six words rang out uniformly in the starting point!

"Great Jin, eternal prosperity!"

"Great Jin, eternal prosperity!"

"Great Jin, eternal prosperity!"

...

After finishing the Gan oath, Ying Qin rode on a bay-red horse covered with soft armor, with a black flag embroidered with the Chinese character Jin behind him. The flag was spread out, and the sound of horse hooves mixed with the footsteps echoed through the sky. It was magnificent!

In such an environment, Ying Qin took out the cloth on his body, which contained the poem Shen Ning had given him before leaving:

"How rich and noble the prince and grandson are, how many men are there in the iron horse?

It always makes the hero sad, listening to the book in Chao Pavilion to say goodbye.

The horse trampled the camp for thirty miles, and the wolf was sealed with Xu before he could return.
