Just when Princess Xianning was in shock and confusion, she suddenly raised her eyes and caught a glimpse of the young man looking at her with a smile, and the eyes under his firm eyebrows seemed to be somewhat interested.
Um?
"Sir, you..." Princess Xianning said suddenly, feeling a sense of grievance in her heart. It turned out that he did it on purpose!
While he was in a complicated state of mind, he suddenly felt that his hand fell into that kind palm again. Jia Heng held Princess Xianning's hand, his eyes moved slightly, and he was about to say something.
However, at this moment, Princess Xianning gently broke away from those kind hands and turned her pretty face away. She did not even look at the sobbing young man, because against the candlelight, the glowing candlelight reflected on that crystal jade face.
, he became more and more quiet and beautiful, with a cold charm, and said faintly: "Mr. Buso, please warm your hands, I'm not cold."
Jia Heng: "..."
This feels aggrieved.
Yes, after all, he was a noble man from Tianhuang. He had some temperament, but he just restrained his aloofness in front of him. He had just been pushed back and forth, and if he didn't have any emotions at all, it would be abnormal.
Jia Heng once again stretched out his hand to capture Princess Xianning's slender body and whispered softly: "I know Your Highness is not cold."
Princess Xianning didn't say anything, she just struggled lightly, but she felt that the young man's grip tightened a little more, so she stopped struggling.
Apart from feeling a mixture of shame and joy, she also felt some grievances. Sure enough, he was teasing her?
Jia Heng said warmly: "It's past the third watch now. Your Highness has been busy all day. Let's go to the sleeping tent to rest. Tomorrow, let's go to the city together."
While they were talking, the girl couldn't help but take Princess Xianning's slender hand and walk towards the sleeping tent on the right side of the military tent. The military tent was separated by a curtain, and the inner room was the sleeping tent.
Princess Xianning slowly turned to look at the nonchalant young man, her bright eyes flashed, as if she wanted to ask, which one is this?
The sleeping tent that was pulled aside involuntarily was built with blue bricks, covered with bed boards, padded with straw, and covered with quilts.
As soon as she sat down, Princess Xianning's cheeks turned red. She didn't care to calm down with Jia Heng. She turned her head, her bright eyes sparkling, and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, what...sir, what are you going to do?"
This is still in the military tent, and besides, she's not ready yet
"Your Highness, lie down and take a nap for a while. I'll call you when it gets daylight." Jia Heng looked calmly at Princess Xianning, who seemed to be a little embarrassed. He supported the girl's slender shoulders, but saw that the beautiful girl's snowy skin was rosy.
The blush dissipated, and the rosy clouds looked like brocade. He looked at it calmly for a moment, and sighed softly: "Your Highness, there is no need to look at the peach blossoms. The icy muscles and jade bones, Xiafei's cheeks, and delicate dimples are already like peach pistils."
"Huh?" Princess Xianning looked surprised for a moment, and then realized that this meant that she was as beautiful as a peach and plum. While her heart was filled with joy, a trace of embarrassment appeared in her beautiful eyebrows. After a while, she couldn't help but said: "You... are worth it?"
He just likes to tease me."
Now he became so angry that he didn't even call for Mr.
Jia Heng looked at the shy girl with her head hanging down, and his eyes were lost for a moment.
He actually didn't like the polite and polite look of Princess Xianning before, because it was more about admiration and respect. Now Xianning made him feel a little bit less. This is a girl of this age, fresh and beautiful, delicate and thin.
angry.
Being looked at by that scorching gaze that was no longer concealed, the curved eyelashes under Princess Xianning's eyebrows trembled, her bright eyes were bright, and for some reason, she suddenly felt her heart beating violently.
…
"Yes, I just like to tease His Highness, Your Highness, what do you think I should do?" Jia Heng suddenly came closer and whispered in Yi Ren's ear.
Princess Xianning: "."
Is this a direct admission?
The warm breath that suddenly came from her ears made her even more flustered. She quickly turned her face to the side and said angrily: "Sir, uh~~"
As the shadow approached and the breath invaded, Princess Xianning felt her lips soften, as if she had been electrocuted, her delicate body trembled violently, and she could not control herself.
The girl's cold and beautiful face was full of confusion, and then uncontrollable joy welled up in her heart. She was a little stiff, and her stiff shoulders gradually softened in the young man's hands, and a sound sounded in her nose.
With a voice of "嘤咛", those narrow and bright clear eyes were slightly closed, allowing the young man to taste.
The dizzy feeling just now came back, and seemed to get worse and more intense. For some reason, Princess Xianning suddenly remembered that in the summer when she was eight years old, she learned to dance for the first time with her mother in Shuyu Palace.
I learned a dance pose of turning in a circle, and I kept spinning for a long time without realizing it. My heartbeat accelerated and my cheeks turned red.
At this moment, Jia Heng held two plump petals, feeling soft and slightly cool, and a fragrance like lotus floated under her nose. She gently caressed Princess Xianning's shoulders with her hands.
In view of the fact that the girl had zero experience, she only tasted it briefly and did not knock on the city gate to grab the sweetness. However, for the girl, this was the first time in more than ten years of life experience.
The cheeks that used to be as cold as frost were as red as a rosy cloud, as if they were drunk, falling into an indescribable state.
Jia Heng gently hugged Princess Xianning's snowy back and hugged her into his arms, feeling a little happy in his heart.
The slim girl was already shy. She rested her head on Jia Heng's shoulder, her chin and cheek resting on her shoulder. Her narrow phoenix eyes were still a little absent-minded.
Sir, did he just kiss her?
I don’t know why, but a sentence suddenly came to my mind, watch until the clouds clear and the moon shines.
Jia Heng said softly: "Your Highness, you have been working hard these days with the army. Fortunately, Kaifeng City was finally captured without delay for several months. Otherwise... Your Highness, please rest."
In fact, it was just a candy reward given to Princess Xianning for accompanying her all the way.
Princess Xianning seemed to be in a dream at this moment, and the lingering touch between her lips was soaking in her heart. She looked at the young man's face, pursed her lips, her bright eyes flickered, and murmured in a low voice: "Sir, I...
.I don’t feel hard, and I’m not too sleepy now.”
How can I sleep at this time?
Moreover, she also needs to ask clearly what happened just now. She can't let her husband finally say that her mouth was cold just now?
"You will feel sleepy after lying down for a while, otherwise your eyes will be bloodshot tomorrow and you will look even more haggard. I just saw that His Highness's lips were also a little chapped." Jia Heng said softly.
Princess Xianning: "???"
Chapped lips?
However, in a second thought, Qing knew that he was talking nonsense, otherwise what would she be in his arms?
If you feel she is cold, hold her to keep her warm?
Humph, she wouldn't believe anything her husband said anyway, he was just trying to cover up the truth.
Jia Heng hugged Princess Xianning and stroked the snowy back. He could clearly feel the girl's trembling due to the emotional excitement. He held back his desire to stroke those two slender and straight lines. This could only mean that the day was coming.
…
Actually, the main reason is curiosity. Xianning has a slim figure and is good at dancing. I wonder how long these legs are.
Anyway, so far, he has never seen anyone with outstanding advantages in this aspect. Jia Heng said: "Your Highness, just lie down for now."
Princess Xianning wanted to say something, but she saw the young man supporting her and placing her gently on the bed. Her heart skipped a beat and she looked at Jia Heng with bright eyes. Of course, she didn't think that Jia Heng would "bully" her here and now.
Jia Heng said lightly: "Your Highness is so exhausted. When you return to Shenjing, Concubine Rong will still make trouble for me. Well, let's take a rest first."
With that said, he picked up the quilt on the side and covered Princess Xianning with it.
Princess Xianning's bright eyes flashed, her teeth bit her lower lip, and she said softly: "Sir, my mother-in-law is very good, but she is also worried that I will be in danger as a female general."
Jia Heng said: "I know, I talked to Concubine Rong about His Highness the other day, and some of what Concubine Rong said was quite reasonable. Your Highness may not be able to adapt to eating and sleeping in the open air."
Compared to the graceful and beautiful Empress of Song Dynasty, Concubine Rong looked like a proud peacock who had been elegant and beautiful all her life. She was cold and proud, a bit like Murong Yunhai's mother.
In fact, Xianning's temperament is more like Concubine Rong, but she hides her true temperament in front of him and lowers her posture. After all, people like to hide their true selves in order to show their best side at the beginning.
Well, I actually look forward to the day when Xianning's "nature is exposed".
Princess Xianning said "hmm", then suddenly thought of something, her longing eyes flashed, and she quickly said: "Sir, what I just meant is that I still want to."
Jia Heng nodded and said softly: "I know what His Highness means. If His Majesty doesn't stop me, Your Highness will still follow me in the future. However, you need to be cautious in front of the two armies."
"That's good." Princess Xianning breathed a sigh of relief and said softly.
Jia Heng said warmly, covering Princess Xianning with the quilt, and couldn't help but feel a little lost when looking at that beautiful face with pure temperament.
With a melon-seed face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and clear phoenix eyes, Gu Pan Shenfei stretched out his hand to gently caress the girl's face, feeling the shame flowing through his palms and fingers, and whispered: "Your Highness has become less clean in the past few days."
At this moment, looking down at Princess Xianning from a high position, I felt some pity in my heart when I met her bright eyes full of autumn waves.
Xianning went to Henan partly for him.
Princess Xianning felt the young man's thoughtfulness, and a hint of sweetness surged in her heart. She said softly: "Following your husband to come to Henan to quell the chaos is something I will never forget in my life." If she hadn't met her husband, maybe she would have died.
Like a bird in a cage, we can never see the outside scenery again. If we don't go out to the sacred city with our husband, we won't understand each other's feelings.
Jia Heng chuckled and said, "There will be many, many unforgettable things for Your Highness in the future." So, what did Emperor Chongping think?
Could it be that after he and Xianning are actually married, he should be asked to divorce his wife and marry another person, and get married according to the decree?
Princess Xianning saw the young man frowning in thought, his lips moving, and he stopped talking.
Seeing that Princess Xianning wanted to say something else, Jia Heng smiled and said, "Okay, if there's anything else, let's talk about it tomorrow."
As for the future, things will come naturally when the bridge comes. There is no point in talking about it now. We still have to solve problems in the process of development.
…
"Yes." Princess Xianning responded softly. She didn't need to ask any more questions because she already knew the answers. She knew all about her husband's difficulties and she was willing to wait.
The worst outcome is just like my aunt.
Princess Xianning thought like this and closed her eyes slightly. She felt an unprecedented sense of peace in her heart, and then she felt sleepy. After a while, she also fell asleep.
Jia Heng looked at the quiet and peaceful jade face, the sound of gradually even breathing sounded in his ears, his face was as dark as water, and his eyes were deep.
Just now, I couldn't hold it back after all, and kissed Xianning. Now I'm fine with everything, but I'm afraid Jinyang will be there... It's hard to explain.
Just when Jia Heng led a group of cavalry to attack Kaifeng City for the first time in the evening, coincidentally, Xie Zaiyi and Xiao Lin led nearly 10,000 cavalry from the capital camp and rushed to Runing Prefecture.
——Ruyang County.
The reason why we arrived today is that Shenjing is far away from Runing Prefecture, and secondly we helped Nanyang Prefecture exterminate a group of bandits who responded in Nanyang Prefecture and other places.
After Gao Yue raised his banner in Kaifeng Prefecture, the Nanyang Guards of Nanyang Prefecture were wiped out. Some heroes saw that the Nanyang government's troops were empty, so they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. Xie Zaiyi and Xiao Lin arrived with a large army from the capital, and they helped the prefect of Nanyang Prefecture.
After suppressing several rebellions and taking advantage of the situation, they took a short rest and then without much delay, more than ten thousand cavalry rushed towards Ruyang County, which is governed by the Runing Prefecture.
Compared with the city of Kaifeng, which has high trenches and deep trenches, and where the bandits are strong, the city of Ruyang County, which is governed by Runing Prefecture, is much lower, and there are not many bandits staying on guard at night.
The officers and soldiers gathered thousands of cavalry and came in force. Almost instantly, they surrounded Ruyang County from all sides and launched a fierce attack on the small county seat without waiting for dark.
After more than an hour of siege, at night, the city of Runing, defended by only two thousand bandits, was caught off guard and fell back into the hands of the Han court.
In fact, the bandits in Runing's Fucheng did not expect the officers and soldiers to attack on cavalry. They were completely unprepared, and the Fucheng fell into Xie Zaiyi's hands easily.
Ma Liu, who was originally the bandit leader of Jitoushan, and the three brothers left behind by Gao Yue, together with one or two thousand bandits, were killed in the city, and the imperial army recaptured Runing.
At this moment, in the yamen of Runing Mansion, torches were crackling in the dark.
It was as bright as day, and the accompanying soldiers from the Beijing camp were waiting in the lobby and on the eaves of the corridor with their swords drawn.
Guard General Xie Zaiyi was sitting on a chair behind the desk in the Yamen Hall, wearing a black cloak and black armor. He had a bearded face and a cold expression, staring intently at Runing, who was kneeling on the ground below.
Qian Yushan, the prefect of the prefecture.
Qian Yushan's face was like ashes and his body was like chaff. He knew that a disaster was coming. Xie Zaiyi shouted and asked: "Prefect Qian, where is Niu Jizong?"
Qian Yushan trembled and said, "Thank you, General. Niu Jizong was imprisoned in the county prison by those bandits."
"Oh?" Xie Zaiyi was surprised for a moment, then turned to look at Jia Fang who was standing with a knife, and said: "Go and bring Niu Jizong over. This is a key criminal that the court wants to capture. He needs to be sent to the capital to be punished according to the laws of the country.
Tsunaki."
Jia Fang clenched his fists and obeyed the order, took heavy and powerful steps, and led a few soldiers to the county government prison to raise Niu Jizong.
At this moment, a middle-aged general with a square face and a tall figure came in from outside the official hall. He was Xie Zaiyi's deputy general on this trip - Guo Yongying Camp Commander Xiao Lin. He strode into the official office, clasped his fists and said: "General Xie, in the city
The bandits have been wiped out, but Dingfu is still screening the bandits."
…
Xie Zaiyi nodded and said: "General Xiao, your troops are very quick. There are still bandit remnants entrenched in the towns and villages of Luoshan County and other counties. Because of the terrible disaster, we need to send people to Luoshan County to eliminate them to prevent them from escaping into the mountains."
It’s not easy to hunt them down, this time we are going to wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop!”
As he said that, he looked at one of the guerrilla generals and said in a deep voice: "General Sun, you will lead two thousand elite cavalry and go to Luoshan County immediately to suppress the bandits entrenched there." "The last general takes orders.
." The guerrilla surnamed Sun clasped his fists and responded to the order.
Xie Zaiyi turned to look at another guerrilla general again and said: "Qian Guerrilla, you will lead five hundred cavalry to serve as forward scouts and go to Xu County in the north to explore the movements in Kaifeng. As soon as there is news, immediately report to Ma Express
.”
Qian Youyi said: "The last general will take orders."
After Xie Zaiyi ordered the generals, he looked at the Baihu officials in Feiyu uniforms and embroidered spring knives, and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Baihu, Ruyang County, the remaining bandit forces in Runing Prefecture will be wiped out by our army. Wait for the day to come.
As soon as it lights up, I will immediately send a message to Jieshuai Feige to announce this letter."
"Yes." The hundred households in brocade clothes cupped their hands and responded.
Xiao Lin muttered: "I don't know how the battle situation in Kaifeng is going to be. The last time Fei Ge sent a letter, he also said that he had just marched into Kaifeng Fucheng. Kaifeng Fucheng belongs to the big city. If the war situation continues for a long time, I'm afraid we will have to go north.
Support is what it takes.”
"With a strong general and strong strategy, it is easy to capture Kaifeng's capital city." Xie Zaiyi's eyes sparkled and he said excitedly.
Xiao Lin nodded and said nothing else.
However, it was said that the noise coming from the Runing County Yamen Death Row was not caused by thieves who committed murder and expropriated goods, but by some respectable gentry in Runing Prefecture.
After the bandits occupied Runing Mansion, they changed the prison heads at the county government office, and the prisons were also used to imprison some county officials from Luoshan County and Runing County.
In a dimly lit and smelly prison in the inner room, Niu Jizong, the grandson of Niu Qing in the Han Dynasty, was sitting in a pile of scattered straw with ragged clothes and disheveled hair. He was unkempt and looked depressed.
Even though Niu Jizong wrote a false news of success and delivered it to Shenjing, which to some extent was considered a betrayal of the Han Dynasty, Gao Yue and his subordinates did not look at him differently. He was imprisoned in the same prison as the officials and gentry of Runing Mansion.
Don't be full during three meals.
In other words, in the eyes of Gao Yue and other heroes and righteous men, great Han nobles such as Niu Jizong were born with original sin, and some bandits even wanted to see the great Han nobles become prisoners.
Just as Niu Jizong was listening to the shouts of killing outside, he suddenly heard a series of heavy footsteps outside. He couldn't help but push aside his messy hair and looked through the kerosene lamp in the prison corridor. These uniforms were officers and soldiers!
Seeing the pitiful nature, Niu Jizong was so excited that his eyes filled with tears.
The officials and gentry in the surrounding prisons were also crying and shouting for help.
Previously, the officials and gentry in the prison heard the shouts of killing coming from outside, and then the thieves and bandits who were used as guards in the prison hurriedly went to respond, knowing that the imperial court sent troops to fight back. Jia Fang led the people into the dark place.
, damp cell, so close
He came forward and looked at the figure holding on to the railing. From his robes, he could vaguely tell that the person in front of him was a senior official of the imperial court. He tried to call out, "Niu Jizong?"
…
"You soldiers and horses in the capital camp?" Niu Jizong took a closer look. He felt happy and said loudly: "Are you here to save me?"
Jia Fang looked at Niu Jizong, with a half-smile on his face, and said, "I'm here to save you."
Niu Jizong didn't understand the meaning of these words for a while, but as the prison was opened, as he walked, the chains on his legs kept making noises, and his body swayed, and he said urgently: "Let's take off these cuffs too."
Come down, it's too heavy to wear."
A soldier in the Beijing camp was about to take out a bunch of keys from a bunch of keys in his hand, but he heard a cold voice coming from his ear: "What are you taking? You will have to wear it later and be escorted to the capital to be punished." Niu Jizong was startled.
After a while, he said with doubts on his face: "What? What is the canonical punishment?" Suddenly, a bad premonition came into my heart.
"Niu Jizong, you betrayed and surrendered to the enemy. The Holy Emperor was furious. He had already issued an edict to remove the princes from the Zhenguo Palace and exterminate the three tribes. The imperial edict was sent to Nanyang Mansion the day before yesterday." Jia Fang said with a cold gaze and a sneer.
As a member of the Jia clan, I know very well about the government and the Jia family's sister. Now that the Niu family has fallen, I feel very happy about it.
Niu Jizong was shocked when he heard the bad news. He staggered as if struck by thunder and quickly held on to the wooden bars of the cell to prevent him from fainting.
How is it possible for the barbarians to destroy three tribes!?
Without waiting for Niu Jizong to ask, Jia Fang gave a deep drink and ordered his men to escort Niu Jizong towards the Yamen.
At this moment, Xie Zaiyi had summarized the seizures and casualties in various places, and ordered the marching secretary to write a notice to calm the people for posting.
In addition, I wrote a military report and prepared to deliver it to the court immediately.
After finishing all this, Xie Zaiyi asked: "General Xiao, early tomorrow morning, I plan to lead five thousand cavalry and go north to support Commander Jie in attacking Kaifeng Fucheng and blocking the bandits fleeing south. General Xiao will lead the troops and horses here to guard Fucheng.
Suppress public security and eliminate remaining bandits."
Xiao Lin nodded, cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, General Xie."
At this moment, the soldiers outside said: "General, Jia Baihu is back." As he spoke, Jia Fang had already led a few people to escort Niu Jizong into the big house.
Niu Jizong's face was pale now, his legs were weak, and he could hardly walk freely. He had to be supported by two soldiers.
Destroy three tribes? What a cruel heart!
The Niu family had made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, but they wanted to kill his whole family just because he suffered a small defeat. How mean and ungrateful the emperor was!
At this time, as the soldiers entered the government hall, they raised their eyes and saw Xie Zaiyi sitting behind the desk in the government hall.
"You are..." Niu Jizong looked through the light and was shocked. He clearly recognized the person and said suddenly: "Thank you Zaiyi!"
Niu Jizong had paid attention to the generals around Jia Heng since he was dispatched by the governor of Diuguo Yong camp, so he was no stranger to Xie Zaiyi. When he saw him, he was shocked. Xie Zaiyi looked indifferent and shouted: "Niu Jizong, you
