Hello Chang'an Chapter 579

There is no impurity in the young man's beautiful eyes at this moment, and his "request" has no weight at all.

He shouldered the responsibility of guarding the Northern Territory without hesitation, committing all his life and safety to this most difficult war in the world, and what he chose to leave Cui Ling'an for himself was "more to use as support." Good weather days."

Those whose burdens are as heavy as a mountain should ask for something as light as a feather.

Accompanied by the gentle breeze, this piece of Hongyu blew through Chang Sui Ning's heart.

She wanted to ask Cui Ling'an, did he know that the most difficult thing in this world to repay is the good that comes from nothing.

Seeing that she did not answer, the young man asked again under the pine tree: "Can your Highness agree?"

Chang Suining came back to his senses and said in a relaxed tone: "It's a small matter, why shouldn't you do it?"

"You have worked so hard in the north, and I have come all the way to see you, and you only have this request." Chang Suining's relaxed tone was half disgusting and half generous: "I'll think of something more decent to ask later. ”

There was a faint smile of contentment in Cui Jing's eyes: "It's enough to have you here in person."

This was the most "decent" good thing he could think of.

When thinking about the word "decent", Cui Jing suddenly thought of something, and the smile in her eyes fell silently.

After a moment, he said: "I just didn't know you were coming, so I was rude again."

"Where are you being rude? Let me see." Chang Sui Ning clasped his hands, took a step closer to him, leaned forward to look at his face, and looked at him very seriously: "You are obviously very decent and good-looking."

Cui Jing had stopped breathing, and the tips of her ears were getting hot uncontrollably.

As he lowered his eyes, seeing that she was still staring at him, he slowly turned his face to one side seemingly calmly, trying his best to hide his confusion.

"I'm serious." Chang Sui Ning slightly curved his lips and said to Cui Jing: "You look like this now so that Dasheng Jiangshan and the people don't have to be 'discourteous'."

A country that has been savagely trampled by foreign cavalry will no longer have dignity and dignity at all.

"You are protecting the land of Dasheng and the dignity of your people. Even if you are exposed to wind and sand, it will not damage your etiquette." Chang Sui Ning said: "For me, you are here now, which is the most profound courtesy. Now There are few people in this world as noble and pure as you, Cui Ling'an."

His dignity is no longer due to the bloodline and cultivation of Cui of Qinghe, but to his determination to protect the country from beginning to end.

Cui Jing was a little stunned when they looked at each other.

The next moment, he saw a look similar to "protecting one's shortcomings" in those clear eyes: "Whoever dares to say you are rude, I will knock his head off."

Cui Jing: "Qin Protector—"

Chang Suining pretended to ask: "Did he really say that?"

"No." A smile appeared in Cui Jing's eyes: "Qin Duhu is a good man, so let's keep his head."

As soon as Cui Jing finished speaking, she suddenly stretched out a hand and caught a pine needle that fell from above and was about to fall on Chang Sui Ning's head.

The emerald green pine needles were slightly cool. When they fell straight down, they lightly pricked the palm of the hand, causing a slight and fleeting sting. When this touch spread from the palm to the heart, it turned into a vivid and vivid joy.

With this feeling, Cui Jing retracted his hand halfway and showed the pine needle to Chang Sui Ning.

Chang Suining looked at it and naturally raised his hand to pick it up from his palm.

The slightly cool fingertips touched the palm of the hand, and a distinct feeling similar to but better than when pine needles dropped felled in the young man's heart.

Chang Sui Ning picked up the pine needle, looked at it in the sun, and suddenly said in a confused way: "Cui Ling'an, this pine needle looks very similar to you."

Cold, hard, sharp, and a hint of bitter pine wood aroma.

He is upright, upright, noble, does not follow the world, and never argues and proves himself.

Chang Suining held the pine needle in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Cui Jing, saying: "If you think it is rude to rush around for safety and survival and have no time to take care of your appearance, then I hope that one day, you, me and the people of the world, There is no time to be rude. Our country can act as a great nation and maintain eternal stability without bowing in any direction."

What she said was "wish" that one day, and the "wish" here was still a wish to herself.

Cui Jing listened to the still calm tone and looked at the two inches of sunlight falling on her body. The sunlight intertwined with the shadows of the trees and her silhouette, seeming to form a grand picture, on which a person wanted to take on a mortal body. I draw a new world with the determination of millions of people in this world to change their lives, and with the blood and bones of two generations as ink, I draw a new world.

Cui Jing knew that this was what she had wanted for a long time.

After a moment, he nodded and said with conviction: "There will be a day."

As long as she is here, there is hope that this grand plan will come to this world.

Chang Suining turned around and continued to move forward, walking lightly and speaking in a casual tone: "Then let's discuss carefully how to skin and bones the jackal in Beidi, cut off its claws and teeth, dissect its ambition, and chop it into pieces."

Cui Jing followed him, and his tone was not serious: "His Highness is here, it's just a small matter."

Chang Suining turned to look at him: "Cui Ling'an, you are also very proficient in the art of flattery and killing."

Cui Jing's face said something strange: "To increase one's prestige is also a common practice of military strategists."

Chang Suining nodded: "Very good. If the Beidi spies take a look and see that all of our Dasheng coaches are so arrogant and complacent, they will probably celebrate in advance."

Cui Jing: "That's good, it just makes them relax their guard."

The two talked casually, but they knew better than anyone else that the battle in Beidi was unprecedentedly difficult. Even though Chang Sui Ning had the experience of defeating Beidi, he was not absolutely sure of winning at this time.

Dasheng is several times weaker than it was twenty years ago, while Beidi has been recharging its strength and its combat power cannot be underestimated.

Thinking of this, Chang Suining exhaled a long breath in her heart. The more this happened, the more grateful she was for Cui Jing's existence. He preserved Xuance's army and dared to insist on cultivating cavalry in Bingzhou even though he was in danger. This foresight, as well as courage and determination, are the keys to staying alive.

For the next five or six days, Chang Suining, Cui Jing, and the generals discussed and deduced the next war plan almost from morning to night. Chang Suining and Cui Jing often sat facing each other until late at night.

Qin Duhu and others saw in their eyes that they already knew Chang Sui Ning's determination to stay and fight together. In addition to being surprised, they felt even more admiration.

In addition to the 10,000 Jiangdu cavalry brought by him, Chang Suining has sent a message to Tang Xing to send another 20,000 cavalry here for training - these 20,000 cavalry come from Fan Yang's captured soldiers, as well as the scattered forces gathered during this period. , this sum of money scraped together is all the sincerity Chang Sui Ning can show at this time.

In addition, she bet herself on this war.

And she never said anything about it from beginning to end, she just stayed like this, as if it should be the case, without any need to flaunt it, or even need to explain the reasons for doing so.

Since the prophet Chang Sui Ning came in person, Qin Duhu and others only thought that she was coming with the army, or that she might be taking this opportunity to win over the forces in their Anbei Dufufu... After all, she had come all the way from Luoyang and never stopped. Her ambition to expand her own power is an indisputable fact.

But such a person with an overwhelming advantage chose to pledge his 30,000 cavalry and stay in Yinshan, the most dangerous place with the least "reward".

Qin Duhu sighed in his heart more than once.

Although the Changjie envoy did not say anything to win over, his actions had already convinced everyone in the Anbei Protectorate, so there was no need to use words to impress people.

After discussing with the staff of the government, the governor of Qin decided to publicize the fact that Chang Sui Ning stayed in the northern border with a heavy army.

First, they thought that Chang Jieshi deserved such fame for his righteous deeds.

Secondly, they wanted to use the name of Chang Sui Ning to stabilize the hearts of the people in the north, and even recruit more righteous people to join the battle to protect the country against Beidi, mobilize morale, and reunite the people's hearts like scattered sand.

As this matter continued to be carried out, Qin Duhu became more and more aware of its extraordinary significance.

At a time when the mountains and rivers are devastated and the country is confused and confused, the power of example is so huge and important.

When the northern border was intensively deployed to challenge Beidi, the news that Cui Jing secretly trained 40,000 cavalry in Bingzhou was known all over the world, and the imperial court in the capital was even more outraged.

The number of cavalry reported to the court by Bingzhou had never exceeded 10,000, but at this time, a total of 40,000 cavalry suddenly appeared!

Such a large number of cavalry cannot be obtained overnight, or even within one or two years... but the court knows nothing about it!

The ruling and opposition parties were both angry and frightened.

The prince sat at the top, listening to the courtiers' scolding of Cui Jing's move, and did not dare to answer the question - now he has experience in supervising the country, and although these courtiers are scolding him fiercely at the moment, once he Cui Jing had to answer the question, but few people dared to respond directly.

So he had better keep his mouth shut, so as not to embarrass each other and end up in a situation where the big eyes are staring at the small eyes.

After all, Governor Cui is still guarding the northern border. It seems that the 40,000 cavalry are not used for rebellion... To say the least, is there nothing wrong with the court? Let's not talk about whether it was an oversight or not, let's just say that if the imperial court had agreed to expand the number of cavalry in the Xuance Army, would Governor Cui have been hiding it like this?

Driven by the desire to survive, Prince Li Zhi, who was always good at introspection, quickly rushed to the Manlu Palace after going to court.

In the hall, Li Zhi bowed respectfully to the empress in a spacious regular robe.

The emperor's complexion looked much better than before, but Li Zhi sometimes felt that he was holding on with one breath, and this breath was the battle situation on Shannan West Road.

Li Zhiwei did not dare to think deeply about this matter. After saluting, he truthfully reported the reactions of the courtiers today.

It was impossible for the Holy Emperor to know about the Bingzhou cavalry later than the courtiers. At this moment, there was no emotion on her face, and only a coldness remained in her eyes.

Forty thousand cavalry, such a number, no matter which dynasty, generation or emperor is placed in it, it is impossible not to be frightened and angry, and she is no exception.

The Emperor understands that this is the corruption and negligence of Dasheng Ma Zheng officials, but she is also convinced that it is absolutely impossible for Bingzhou Ma Zheng officials and everyone to fail to observe it!

Bingzhou has always been a horse ranch and has natural geographical advantages that can be used to raise a large number of horses. As for the training of cavalry, of course, it can also be done through rotation training with a fixed number of cavalry. On weekdays, only ordinary troops are reported. As long as 40,000 cavalry do not appear in front of people together like this time, there is a possibility of concealment -

But such a concealment method is acceptable for dealing with the imperial court far away in the capital, but it is impossible to hide the Bingzhou Ma Zheng without any flaws!

Then there is only one truth: among the horse administration officials in Bingzhou, there must be someone who has been helping Cui Jing to hide the news from the court for a long time!

This is a serious crime against the Nine Clan, but there are people who are willing to take this risk to help Cui Jing... Are those people not afraid of death?

She knew very well that the emperor's imperial power had limited control over the generals, so since she came to the throne, she had never stopped suppressing and intimidating disloyal people. Most of the generals who harbored disloyal intentions died because of this, but why? No matter how she kills, she can't kill all these alienated people who appear like locusts?

The prince asked anxiously whether he wanted to punish the officials who failed to observe the situation and... Governor Cui.

"What can I ask for guilt at this moment?" There was a suppressed chill in the calm tone of the Holy Book Emperor: "When the masters of Shannan West Road return with a victory, we will discuss the merits and demerits of Cui Jing."

The imperial court put all its troops on Shannan West Road. Facing other places, as long as it did not directly threaten the imperial court, it would try its best to appease, calm, mitigate and delay the emergence of chaos.

The power struggle at the critical moment is never just about openness and decisiveness, but more often about conspiracy, mediation, and even humiliation and forbearance.

The Empress never lost her mind in the face of the situation. From her point of view, she was always sober and calm.

Since she came to the throne, she admits that she has never acted on a whim or acted impulsively. Every step she takes is not out of emotion, but after repeated calculation and measurement. For ten years, this is the constant requirement that the Emperor of the Holy Book has for herself. This calmness is also her biggest advantage in self-view.

Recently, the Holy Book Emperor often thought of a rumor about the eagle.

According to legend, when the eagle king gets old, he will fly to the top of the mountain, hit the rock with his beak, and make the beak fall off. When the beak grows back, he will pluck out all the dull nails and feathers, and then he will guard the mountain. The **** body hid in a rock cave until it grew new feathers and regained the ability to fly.

The Holy Emperor often felt that he was like an eagle, whose feathers had been plucked and its beak cut off. Before the new life came, he must keep his eyes on the direction of the cave entrance to be on guard against attacks from enemies at any time.

The direction of the "cave entrance" she was focusing on was the direction of Shannan West Road.

Therefore, she never thought that the real disaster would appear from the "hole" where she was staying.

There were no raptors of the same kind that she was wary of, only insects and ants that she had never seen before. It was in the corner that she couldn't see that these "insects and ants" had gathered in a force, and they were flowing like a tide. It gnawed and engulfed her, and was about to cause the mountain top where she was standing to collapse.

This earth-shattering change caused by "insects and ants" started with an ordinary wind and cold. (End of chapter)
