226 Dingzu Western Regions and Two Different Princesses
In the north, there are endless grasslands.
The wind was blowing the lush green grass on the grassland, and from time to time a few herdsmen passed by driving their cattle and sheep.
Unlike the Central Plains where the four seasons are distinct, the northern Xinjiang has long winters and short summers.
It is now the end of summer and the beginning of autumn in the Central Plains, but in northern Xinjiang, it is already starting to feel cold.
The grassland is turning from green to yellow day by day.
Finally, in winter, everything will be deserted.
This is not a good sign.
The withering of the grass represents the reduction of cattle and sheep production, which will undoubtedly have an impact on the foundation of the Wanyan Jin Kingdom in northern Xinjiang.
Even the Wanyan Jin Kingdom, which has now unified the grasslands and is as powerful as the sun, is helpless against this long winter.
In the past, when the various kingdoms were at war, these seasons would have been the time when the various tribes in northern Xinjiang would go south to plunder.
But now...
Northern Xinjiang has just experienced the threat of epidemic disease.
Immediately afterwards, there was another high-level turmoil, like a major blood change.
Although it is said that under the control and guidance of the eldest princess Wanyan Lingxu, this series of major events did not cause too much damage to the soldiers and civilians of Northern Xinjiang.
However, it is, after all, a reorganization and alternation of power.
In a short period of time, I am afraid that northern Xinjiang will not be able to move south.
…
Inside the temporary marching tent.
Yan Wulu expressed his gratitude to Zhao Linglong for her help during the "Battle of Beiting".
Zhao Linglong waved her hands very casually and said——
"This is the agreement Linglong promised to the two ladies, and it is as it should be."
Zhao Linglong also revealed that over the years, she has been looking for opportunities, hoping to contact the Wanyan royal family of the Jin Kingdom, or people from the three major vassals.
She said that she had a blood feud with a certain superior clan member of the Daqian royal family, and she wanted revenge, hoping to use the power of the powerful Northern Xinjiang or the vassal king.
But unfortunately, until today, she does not even know the specific target of revenge.
All I know is that this royal family member is very influential both in the world of martial arts and in the dark world. People in the martial arts world call him "Emperor".
Upon hearing this, Yan Wulu said that as long as Zhao Linglong is willing to cooperate with him, he can develop a way to relieve the inflammation and poison.
On behalf of the Northland, he will definitely help her take revenge and find out the truth.
When Zhao Linglong heard this, she immediately expressed her gratitude and was willing to cooperate fully.
…
After Zhao Linglong left the camp, only Yan Wulu and several personal guards were left in the camp.
A secret guard from Zhenbei presented information about the Western Region to Yan Wulu.
That was the report from the secret guard of Deputy Chief of Secret Service Zhang Chunhua——
Under Zhang Chunhua's powerful strategy, the "Shadow Sect" established by him has destroyed the main fortress of the Yi family and controlled almost all of the Rong Kingdom in the Western Regions.
The remaining forces of the Yi family were divided by him, and they adopted a dual strategy of winning over some and suppressing others.
At the same time, Yi Qiuyue's status as "the eldest daughter of the Yi family" has caused many Yi family forces to join the Yingshamen. The remaining few die-hards occupy the last Yi family strongholds, but they are no longer fearful.
.
In the Western Region, the three-legged situation has disappeared.
What is presented now is that the Western Region is equally divided between the two major forces of the Shadow Sect and the Demon Sect.
Close the secret message.
Yan Wulu secretly thought that it would take no more than two months for him to go to northern Xinjiang to claim the land in the Hetao, but the Western Region had already undergone such earth-shaking changes.
In this way, it seems that Zhang Chunhua's original promise to completely control the Western Regions within a year was not nonsense.
Thinking of this, Yan Wulu couldn't help but smile knowingly.
He gently picked up the secret message on the eucalyptus and murmured——
"Chunhua is really powerful. Maybe even I need to learn more about the methods she used in the Western Regions."
The Yi family in the Western Regions is now insignificant.
The Demonic Cult of the Western Regions and we are allies again.
However, allies can only last long if they share common interests.
The Demonic Cult of the Western Regions is elusive in its thoughts, and its behavior is even more difficult to control... Perhaps, a more suitable alternative force should be found in advance?
Yan Wulu thought secretly, but had not yet made a decision.
After all, the Wulin Alliance is very close to the Daqian imperial court. If the Demon Sect can contain the power and attention of the Wulin Alliance for the North, it would still be worth staying.
On the other side, sent together with the secret guard's report, was a personal letter from Zhang Chunhua.
Yan Wulu took it and opened the envelope.
Most of them are answers to previous correspondence exchanges with Yan Wulu.
There is also an apology for concealing her pregnancy.
Yan Wulu thought to himself that Zhang Chunhua might think of himself as too narrow-minded.
I have never punished her in the past. Now that she is pregnant, even if she concealed it at the beginning, how can I punish her again?
but……
Yan Wulu then thought about it, Zhang Chunhua was obviously one of the people who knew him best.
Even though she knew she wouldn't blame her, she still said this.
Come to think of it, this is both her duty and her method...
Just as Yan Wulu was thinking about it, Princess Taiping Zhao Lingxin suddenly opened the curtain and entered the tent.
Ignoring the gazes of many soldiers, the latter came directly behind Yan Wulu, put his hands on his shoulders, and seemed to stick to him together.
"Is it a letter from Sister Chunhua? Have you read it to me, the princess?"
"Princess, how did you... know about this letter?"
The secret messages of the Zhenbei secret guards are always kept confidential.
Logically speaking, even Secret Agent Lingzhi would not know the secret letter sent by Deputy Chief of Secret Agent Zhang Chunhua to Yan Wulu.
Zhao Lingxin should be even less likely to know about this matter.
"I guessed."
Zhao Lingxin said casually.
After that, she stretched her head from behind Yan Wulu and directly saw the personal letter Zhang Chunhua wrote to Yan Wulu.
Yan Wulu felt that letters, although different from the confidentiality of previous official documents, were also related to personal privacy.
If it was just one's privacy, it would be fine to show it to Zhao Lingxin.
But this is also related to Zhang Chunhua after all.
To a third person, even Zhao Lingxin, who has a good relationship with Zhang Chunhua, is not very good.
Thinking of this, Yan Wulu made a slight movement with his right hand and closed the letter.
Zhao Lingxin suddenly puffed up her mouth slightly, looking a bit like a beautiful goldfish puffing up its air.
"What are you doing?!"
"This is Chunhua's personal letter. You shouldn't read it."
"Okay, okay."
When Zhao Lingxin heard this, she waved her hand. As the princess of Daqian, she also knew these basic etiquette.
However, she turned her lips slightly and said -
"Speaking of which, I didn't expect that Prince Consort Wu Lu, you would communicate so politely with Sister Chunhua in private? It's a bit... too polite and indifferent. It's not like a beloved lover, but more like a confidant and a guest."
"...I originally thought that for a 'sex devil' like you, the personal letters to Sister Chunhua would be filled with words that were offensive and unsuitable for children."
Well……
Yan Wulu was speechless.
On the one hand, he was helpless. He felt that the reason why Zhao Lingxin thought so was because the other party had never seen Zhang Chunhua act recklessly on the bed...
On the other hand, he was thinking about when did he become synonymous with "sex devil" here in Zhao Lingxin?
Zhao Lingxin seemed to have noticed Yan Wulu's thoughts at the moment.
She had a smile on her face and pinched Yan Wulu's cheek slightly in her hand.
Yan Wulu likes to pinch other people's faces, but he doesn't like to be pinched... But it seems that Zhao Lingxin and Yan Weiyu both like to pinch his face.
Zhao Lingxin didn't pay attention to this, she continued -
"Consort Wulu, don't deny it."
"Tell me, did you force Yue Ling to call you..."
Zhao Lingxin said quietly, then suddenly approached Yan Wulu, with an air of orchid, and whispered affectionately: "...Wu~lu~Brother~Brother~."
Yan Wulu suddenly felt numb and embarrassed.
Zhao Lingxin's voice is also very nice, and she carries a refreshing fragrance. The combination of the two is like the sound of nature, making people numb.
However, Yan Wulu really felt inexplicably embarrassed.
There is both an embarrassing feeling of being unearthed from the past, and an inexplicable feeling of being caught and raped.
"Cough cough cough."
Yan Wulu pretended to cough several times.
Zhao Lingxin, on the other hand, gave up when he saw the situation was good and did not pursue him.
Anyway, she also got a rough idea from Jiang Yueling.
She actually felt that the Wulu Consort had behaved in a way that she had never seen before in front of Jiang Yueling.
She wanted to get to know him more deeply, as if he could give her a different feeling every time.
"Lingxin, why don't you sit down first."
"...it's always stuck on my back, it's weird."
Yan Wulu suddenly spoke.
Zhao Lingxin was a little confused when he heard this.
"Is there anything strange?"
As she spoke, she pressed closer to him.
"Hey, what, Wulu Prince Consort doesn't like it?"
"I...like it."
Yan Wulu answered a little reluctantly, "...just, a little panicked."
When Zhao Lingxin heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
Her eyes were dark, and she pinched Yan Wulu's waist and abdomen with great force.
Yan Wulu also realized it later, thinking to himself that the other party must have misunderstood. Didn't he mean that she was mean and mean?!
The main reason is that Zhao Lingxin's riding clothes are cut with too hard lines, which is really awkward.
"Lingxin, you misunderstood..." Yan Wulu was about to explain.
"snort."
Zhao Lingxin stood up and snorted, "I won't listen, princess!"
Very outrageous and unreasonable.
She is indeed the famous female overlord of Jinling.
Yan Wulu suddenly had a black line on his face...
He suddenly thought of Wanyan Lingxu.
At the beginning, Zhao Lingxin claimed that she went to Northern Xinjiang specifically just to see this "Pearl of the Grassland".
But when she arrived in northern Xinjiang, she seemed to have immediately lost interest in Wanyan Lingxu. Instead, she took Jiang Yueling around the city of Baikal every day, buying all kinds of weird gadgets.
Not serious at all.
It is completely different from Wanyan Lingxu who controlled the Jin Kingdom in Northern Xinjiang behind the scenes.
I lament that they are both princesses, but the gap between them is so huge...
Moreover, Zhao Lingxin's temper is not as good as Wanyan Lingxu's.
Yan Wulu thought about this and nodded deeply.
But having said that, it’s just that.
With Yan Wulu's kind words and persuasion, Zhao Lingxin's anger went away as quickly as it came.
Zhao Lingxin then sat down next to Yan Wulu obediently.
She asked again as if nothing was wrong——
"What did Sister Chunhua say to you, Prince Consort Wulu, in her letter?"
Zhao Lingxin's viewing time just now was too short, and he only saw a very small part of the front.
Yan Wulu also felt something and simply replied——
"It's mostly just small things."
Just as he was talking, Yan Wulu suddenly remembered that Zhao Lingxin didn't know about Zhang Chunhua's pregnancy, right?
"...By the way, there is one thing. Come to think of it, no one has mentioned it to you, Ling Xin, right?"
Yan Wulu said, and then told the truth about Zhang Chunhua's pregnancy.
"ha?!"
Zhao Lingxin was shocked when she heard this, "...Sister Chunhua is also pregnant."
She lowered her head and thought deeply for a moment, and actually bit her finger silently.
…
Time passes.
The team has returned to the northern border.
They met Cheng Huanian, the Zhenbei Army sent by Ye Changtian and others to pick him up.
Under the protection of a large army, Yan Wulu's team is heading towards Yanbeicheng.
Qilin Baiyue also came specially to pick up Jiang Yueling.
It seemed that she really liked Jiang Yueling... huh? Yan Wulu suddenly felt that something was wrong.
And it just so happened that Jiang Yueling also wanted to meet Princess Rong Ya as soon as possible.
He said goodbye to Yan Wulu and others in advance, and followed Bai Yue to Jiang's house.
Yan Wulu waved goodbye slightly.
She lamented that Bai Yue's arrogant and domineering personality would actually take the initiative to transform into a beast and let Jiang Yueling ride her back sideways...
But Bai Qilin ran so fast.
Just like flying.
I think it should be about the same speed as my father's red flame horse.
"I wonder if I will have the opportunity to ride Bai Yue in the future. It must be very exciting?"
Yan Wulu secretly said to himself.
He turned around and suddenly found Zhao Lingxin behind him with a look of astonishment and trembling fingers...
Zhao Lingxin had already had a misunderstanding when she first met Bai Yue.
Now, after hearing Yan Wulu’s harsh words, it’s even more...
"Wulu Ma, you, the devil in lust, the lust in your heart, the lust... you actually don't even let go of a magical beast?!"
Zhao Lingxin once again made shocking remarks and was very emotional.
Yan Wulu's expression suddenly changed drastically.
This Zhao Lingxin... what nonsense are you talking about?!
He was about to explain something, but Wu Yunju unexpectedly ran up to Yan Wulu at some point.
As a precious horse that accompanies Yan Wulu on his expeditions, Wuyunju is very spiritual.
It seems to be "smarter" than Zhao Lingxin, and has understood the true meaning of Yan Wulu's words, and now exhales through its nose in protest.
Yan Wulu could only smile and gently stroke the horse's back to comfort Wu Yunju.
During this gap, Zhao Lingxin had already run away first, as if he was hiding from some pervert.
Yan Wulu sighed secretly, now his impression of being a "sex devil" could not be washed away in the other person's mind.
…
There is still the last half day's journey to Yanbeicheng.
Inside the carriage.
At this moment, Yan Wulu and Zhao Lingxin are here.
Yan Wulu was checking various state documents from the Northland over the past two months.
It seems that Qingsi, Chen Danyang and other prince's staff and palace officials have handled the matter well for him.
As for military affairs, there is no problem with Cheng Huanian and others.
On the other side of the carriage, there is a long red brocade ladder chair.
Princess Taiping Zhao Lingxin's eyes were slightly empty at this moment.
The misunderstanding between her and Yan Wulu about Bai Yue has long been resolved.
She thought about it later and felt that people can't...at least shouldn't...well, maybe she misunderstood Wu Lu's consort.
And when Zhao Lingxin remembered that Zhang Chunhua was also pregnant, Zhao Lingxin suddenly thought that Jiang Yueling and Zhang Chunhua, the two concubines, were both pregnant before him.
Zhao Lingxin kept her face calm and tried her best to keep her expression indifferent, but for a moment she couldn't help but feel secretly jealous.
Yan Wulu finished checking the documents.
She took the opportunity to get close to the other party, and suddenly asked Yan Wulu for no reason -
"Wulu Ma, do you... like boys or girls?"
"ha?"
Yan Wulu didn't react for a while.
Zhao Lingxin, on the other hand, was minding his own business and added secretly——
"Lingxin, actually I heard the palace doctor tell the concubines a folk remedy for giving birth to a boy. After we get married, would you like to give it a try, Prince Consort Wulu?"
When Yan Wulu heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle for a moment.
"I actually mentioned it to Lingxin before, right? I like them both, boys and girls."
He approached Zhao Lingxin slightly, stretched out his hand to pull him to his side, and continued to respond -
"Besides, if Lingxin you can give me a daughter as beautiful as you, that would be the best."
"...So, instead of thinking about what folk remedies to use, why not just do it with me at will. Why don't you do it now?"
"Do it now?" Zhao Lingxin was a little surprised. "But... there is Xiao Yue driving a carriage outside."
Yan Wulu's smile did not change and he said softly: "Yes, Xiao Yue is still driving the carriage outside."
"...Thinking about it, Lingxin, you probably don't want him to hear the sound."
When Zhao Lingxin heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
For a moment, she felt that she should not have followed him in the carriage in the first place.
…
Outside the carriage, Nanchuan felt more and more strange...
This was his first time driving such an ancient and simple Northland carriage, but he did not expect that even a Northland carriage pulled by the finest horses would shake so violently.
Not only does it sway from side to side, it also sways back and forth.
Sometimes I can't even tell how to shake it.
Nan Chuanyue was scratching his head for a while...
He obviously tried his best to drive the car steadily, right?
Nanchuan Yue looked at the curtain of the Northland carriage.
I just hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess behind the carriage curtain will not think that my carriage is not driving well...it is too shaky.
