Qing Lian knew that after returning this time, he would basically start a war with Qian Guo.
This is something that can't be helped, and Qinglian has already been prepared for it in her heart.
But sitting in the carriage, since meeting Chen Lu this time, every time Qinglian closed her eyes, what she saw was Chen Lu's appearance.
Even after leaving the Western Region for only one day, Qinglian felt that her longing was getting heavier and heavier.
When I dream, I always dream about the scene when I and Chen Lu were living together.
Especially when Qinglian thought about how Ji Ying helped Chen Lu leave when she was enjoying the cherry blossoms that day. Even after that poetry meeting, she always felt that the relationship between Ji Ying and Chen Lu was somewhat close.
Qing Lian felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
It's sour and painful.
Qinglian didn’t want Ji Ying and Chen Lu to be together, but Qinglian couldn’t find a reason for her thoughts.
Why don’t I want Chen Lu and Ji Ying to be together?
There is no reason for this
Qinglian sighed.
This feeling obviously didn't exist before.
Is this because I like it?
But is this the feeling of liking?
The more she thought about it, the more complicated Ji Ying's heart became.
"Is there anything that is troubling your highness, Princess?"
Wu Liang on the side also felt that something was wrong with her princess's mood these days, and asked with concern.
"It's nothing." Qinglian shook her head, not wanting to worry Wuliang.
"Hmm." Wu Lian nodded, "If Her Royal Highness the Princess has anything bothering you, you can tell me about it. Although I may not be able to help Her Highness, I will do my best!"
"Thanks."
Qinglian bent her eyes and smiled, feeling a little relieved in her heart.
"Dance Curtain."
In the end, Qing Lian decided to ask Wu Liang what was going on with this strange emotion in her heart.
"My servant is here." Knowing that Her Highness the Princess was about to express her troubles to him, Wu Lian sat up straight and looked at Her Highness the Princess seriously.
This is the first time that Her Royal Highness has expressed her true feelings to herself!
You must take it seriously!
"Wu Liang, what does it mean to like?" Qinglian had asked Li Zhenzhen before, but Li Zhenzhen's answer at that time made Qinglian still confused.
"I like someone."
Wu Liang looked a little embarrassed.
Because for Wu Lian, she has never liked anyone before.
So this question is equivalent to Wu Lian’s knowledge blind spot.
But, even though I don’t know why Her Royal Highness would ask such a question.
But Her Royal Highness finally had a heart-to-heart talk with me. If I didn't answer well, wouldn't it make Her Royal Highness disappointed?
"Like someone. Like someone"
Suddenly, a novel written by a novelist appeared in Wu Lian's mind.
It was a romance novel, in which the scholar and the lady were very entangled.
"If you like someone, you will think about them day and night. Once you can't see them, you will feel uncomfortable all over the body, thinking about them day and night, and even your appetite will become bad.
And in the beginning, you may not feel anything when you like someone. Because we are childhood sweethearts and are used to being together, so we don’t feel anything.
But once something happens, after the two parties break up, they are not used to all kinds of things, and they even worry about each other all day long. This is like liking each other.
Oh oh, there's more.
When you like someone, you can’t see them having close contact with other women.”
"Why?" Qinglian tilted her head.
Wuliang smiled, feeling that her princess was so innocent and cute:
"Because Your Highness, when you like someone, you will always want to possess that person. When you see the person you like with someone else, you will definitely feel uncomfortable.
This feeling is sour and painful.
In other words, this is called jealousy."
"Jealous."
Qing Lian lowered her head, remembering that she had been thinking about Chen Lu, and when she saw Chen Lu and Ji Ying together, she felt a slight pain in her heart, that uncomfortable feeling.
So, is this called jealousy?
turn out to be
This is called liking.
Qinglian pinched the hem of her skirt tightly, her eyes swaying, as if she realized something incredible.
It turns out, do I really like Chen Lu?
After returning to the imperial capital of the Qian Kingdom, the first thing Chen Lu did was to go to the Supervisor Tiansi to report on his work.
When Chen Lu returned to Jiantiansi, the Qingping tune composed by Chen Lu had already spread to the imperial capital of Qian Kingdom.
At this time, the two poems written by Chen Lu were all engraved on the two stone tablets in Jiantiansi.
For Supervisor Tiansi, this is a rare achievement.
I suppressed the luck and made two poems that have been handed down from generation to generation.
Now let’s see who said that the Zhenyun Envoy only knows how to fight!
But to be honest, Chen Lu still felt quite ashamed when looking at the two poems he had written.
Especially since these two poems were copied by myself, I blushed even more.
After Supervisor Tiansi made the handover, Chen Lu received Lan Ye's summons and entered the palace immediately.
But this was also within Chen Lu's expectation.
"Zhenyun Envoy Chen Lu pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother."
In the imperial study, Chen Lu bowed to Lan Ye.
"Yes." Lan Ye nodded, "It's been really hard for Mr. Chen these days. Come, please give Mr. Chen a seat and some tea."
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Chen Lu sat on the chair brought by the maid and drank tea.
"Chen Lu, I have good news and bad news here. Which one do you want to hear?"
"Well, let's hear the bad news first." Chen Lu put down his teacup.
"The bad news is that according to the latest information from the Western Region, the seventy-two sects in the Western Region have already made a decision.
That means the Western Regions intend to help Qi Guo and fight against us together.
Now, the Western Region has severed diplomatic relations with us."
"." Listening to Lan Ye's words, Chen Lu frowned slightly, and even felt a little incredible.
Even if the Western Region wants to cooperate with Qi Guo, is this decision made too quickly?
In other words, not long after he left, the Western Region made a decision!
"My mission was unfavorable, please ask the Queen Mother to punish you!" Chen Lu stood up and asked for forgiveness.
Lan Ye smiled:
"What crime is Master Chen guilty of?
The details of Mr. Chen's mission to the Western Regions have been compiled into documents and placed on my desk.
No matter whether he was competing in writing or martial arts, Mr. Chen did not lose the grace of our country. He even wrote a poem that has been handed down from generation to generation. Mr. Chen has tried his best.
Furthermore, the idea of the Western Regions is inherently unpredictable.
Mr. Chen is not only innocent, but also meritorious!
I would like to confer Master Chen the title of General Yanwu!
Command the 50,000 imperial army of the Qian Kingdom."
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness."
Chen Lu declined politely.
"But no matter what, I still failed to complete my mission. Seventy-two sects from the Western Regions took refuge in Qi Guo. If the Queen Mother awards me a reward, I feel ashamed to receive it. I hope the Queen Mother can take it back.
Otherwise, what will the ministers think?"
"Chen Lu, you really don't need to do this. This is not your responsibility."
"Please Queen Mother, please take back your order." Chen Lu saluted again.
Lan Ye looked at Chen Lu's determined look and couldn't help but sigh: "Since you said that, Chen Lu, then forget it."
"I wonder what the good news is, Her Majesty the Queen Mother," Chen Lu asked.
"There is also good news, that is, we have the support of the royal family of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom.
Although the royal family of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom is weak, it still has certain capabilities.
Furthermore, the Nine-Tailed Kingdom, the most powerful among the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdoms, already supports us.
And Guiyu said that he would also help me in the country.
Let’s not talk about the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters. The Ghost Realm’s ability to help us is definitely due to you, Chen Lu.
The Nine-Tailed Kingdom hopes that you, Chen Lu, can be used as the link between Qian Country and the Nine-Tailed Country.
But before that, I’m afraid you need to go to the Northern Wilderness.”
"Beihuang?" Chen Lu didn't expect this.
Why did he have to go to Beihuang when he just came back?
"That's right."
Lan Ye smiled.
"There is not a single general in our country who has not gone to Beihuang to gain experience.
Mr. Chen does not want to be General Yanwu, so I will not force him for the time being.
If that's the case, then Master Chen should go and experience it first.
When Mr. Chen comes back from several years of experience on the battlefield and has the qualifications, I will give Mr. Chen a new position."
"."
Chen Lu knew that Lan Ye really wanted to promote himself.
Maybe the reward just now was just a springboard for me.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, go get ready and set off in five days.
After arriving in Beihuang, Mr. Chen please be careful!
Beihuang is no different from other places, it is a battlefield and can eat people!"
"yes!"
There was no way Chen Lu could refuse such an appointment.
But Chen Lu also felt that it didn't matter.
If it had been in the past, Chen Lu might have complained or even pulled some strings to show that he didn't want to leave.
But now, Qinglian is no longer by his side, and he has no relatives, so it doesn't matter.
Left the palace.
During these five days, Chen Lu went to Supervisor Tiansi to make some handovers, and then learned a lot of information about Beihuang.
And Chen Lu found an opportunity to take the spiritual vein improvement pill.
When Chen Lu refined this spiritual vein improvement pill, Chen Lu could clearly feel the changes in his body being huge!
It was as if I had suddenly opened up the Ren and Du channels!
Chen Lu even broke through the mirror and entered the golden elixir realm.
Chen Lu also took the elixir that Ji Ying gave him at that time. Under the escort of this elixir, Chen Lu successfully entered the golden elixir realm. The whole process was extremely smooth and there was no risk at all.
If you become a guest of Jindan, you will become a member of our generation.
If we say that the cave realm is a divided realm between mountain people and mortals.
Then the Golden Core Realm is the divided realm between monks and immortals.
In other words, from the perspective of ordinary mortals, the so-called immortals are monks in the cave realm who can live without eating or drinking.
In the eyes of ordinary monks, monks in the Golden Core Realm are immortals, and the Golden Core Realm is the beginning of the true path to immortality.
Chen Lu originally wanted to visit his old friend in the capital.
But after Chen Lu came out of seclusion, he had to leave the next day, so he had to forget it first.
On the day of departure, Chen Lu was rewarded with a fine dragon-blood horse.
Riding this dragon-blooded horse, Chen Lu rode through the air and rushed towards Beihuang.
About half a month later, Chen Lu approached the boundary of Beihuang.
Just like its name, Beihuang is very desolate and does not have the beautiful mountains and clear waters of the south of the Yangtze River.
But it is a place like this that can raise the Northern Wilderness cavalry that makes the whole world fearful!
"The military officers of the world come out of the south of the Yangtze River, and the military generals of the world come out of the northern wilderness."
This sentence is not so accurate, but it is widely circulated, which means it has a certain truth.
Arrive at Liangcheng, the capital of the three states in the Northern Wasteland.
As soon as Chen Lu got off his horse, he felt a strong chilling air!
Liangcheng is located in the northernmost of the three states of Beihuang, and is also located at the junction of Qian Kingdom and Man Kingdom.
Treating this kind of border city as the capital of the three states illustrates the determination of the Northern Wilderness Cavalry - to prevent barbarians from entering the Qian Kingdom to the death!
Riding a dragon-blooded horse, we entered Liangcheng. Liangcheng was very lively, and even the brothel girls in Liangcheng were more heroic than those in other places in Qian Kingdom.
After arriving at the Beihuang King's Mansion, Chen Lu knocked on the courtyard door.
A maid from the palace came out.
Looking at this maid, Chen Lu was a little surprised.
Mainly because Chen Lu didn't expect that even an ordinary maid would have a kind of blood in her body. This woman seemed to have been on the battlefield.
"Who are you looking for, sir?" the maid asked.
"Chen Lu, the transport envoy of the lower town, was ordered to come to Beihuang to practice for three years. This is a letter from Chen. Please pass it on to the girl."
Chen Lu took out the letter from the Imperial City.
The maid took the letter: "Master Chen, please wait a moment again."
The maid turned around and ran into the courtyard, but soon, the maid came back again and led Chen Lu inside.
"Master Chen, the prince is waiting for Mr. Chen inside. You can just go in."
The maid took Chen Lu outside a courtyard and bowed.
"Sorry for bothering you, girl."
Chen Lu walked into the courtyard.
But as soon as he walked in, he saw a halberd stabbing him.
Chen Lu quickly pulled out the long knife in his hand.
"镕镕镪!"
In just three breaths of time, the halberd and the long knife clashed for no less than thirty rounds.
Chen Lu raised his sword, and waves of swords spurted out.
Lan Wu, who was standing on the other side, held a long halberd and thrust forward.
The wave of swords was broken into waves by the halberd, and disappeared out of thin air.
"Not bad, not bad." Lan Wu put away the weapon in his hand and nodded, "I didn't expect your kid's sword skills to be so superb, and his realm has actually broken through to the golden elixir realm. Sure enough, when a hero emerges from a young age, I feel old. It’s over.”
"Your Majesty is too modest."
Chen Lu put away his long sword, cupped his fists and saluted.
"If it weren't for His Majesty's mercy, Lu wouldn't be able to defeat His Majesty even with a single move."
"Hahaha, if I fight you in the Golden Core realm, I will show no mercy."
Lan Wu walked forward with a smile and pulled Chen Lu.
"Come, sit down."
"Yes." Chen Lu sat in front of Lan Wu.
Lan Wu poured Chen Lu a cup of tea: "How about it? What position do you want in our Beihuang Army?"
