Chapter 116 The Lady Ran Away
Before daybreak, the prince was wearing armor and holding a sword in one hand.
He walked to the bed and stroked his daughter's sleeping face with his cool fingertips. In the orange light of the candle, her face was gentle.
The Bodhi seeds that Tuanzi had stuffed into his armor last night were still hidden under his armor.
She may not know the significance of the Bodhi seed given by the national teacher, but she kept it in her heart to pray for peace...
The man stayed in front of the bed for a while, then lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent.
Outside the tent, the troops that were going to attack the city with him had already assembled, and several generals including Xie Yunshan were standing there waiting for the commander-in-chief to come out.
Jiang Jichen: "Take good care of An..."
General Xie patted his armor. It was a rare occasion for the two of them to have such a peaceful and serious conversation.
"Do not worry."
"Uncle..."
Jiang Yizhou hurriedly put on a cloak and left the tent, "Uncle, Yizhou will go with you to attack the city!"
Jiang Jichen stopped and looked at his nephew's face with scrutiny.
Attacking a city means death, and the lives of his soldiers are extremely precious. He doesn't want to take a loser with him...
"Hey, Yizhou..."
Xie Yunshan stepped forward and embraced the man, bumping his arm with his fist, and said in a friendly manner, "It's dangerous to attack the city. The arrows shot from above have no eyes!"
"With your identity, you will stay with me in the garrison and intercept the Nanzhao army in Fengyang City!"
Jiang Jichen didn't have the patience to argue with him. After taking a look at Xie Yunshan, he said "that makes sense" and rode away with his troops.
The footsteps of 20,000 soldiers and the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground woke up Tuanzi who was sleeping soundly in the tent.
Jiang An rubbed his eyes in a daze and stood up, shouting subconsciously, "Dad~"
"Miss, the prince has left. You should get some sleep."
The one who replied her was Niangniang who was standing by the side.
Jiang An opened his eyes wide to look at the furnishings in the tent, but didn't find the familiar figure. With a pout, he ran out barefoot.
Xie Yunshan, who was talking to the Second Prince, spotted Tuanzi coming out and her bare feet, and quickly stepped forward to hold her in his arms.
He poked Jiang An's cheek, which was puffed up by anger, and said lovingly, "Why are you running around?"
Tuanzi slapped his fat claws on his armor, and was very angry that they didn't wake him up!
"An An didn't get up to see Dad off!"
The young general carried the man into the tent and said, "Your father doesn't need to be sent off. With those good-for-nothings in Nan Zhao, the prince should be back in four days at most."
Tuanzi was limp, and put his head on his shoulder, "Four days..."
An An hasn't seen his father for four days...
What a big deal this is for a four-year-old kid!
Suddenly, she straightened up her upper body, her eyes sparkling, "What if An An wants to see Dad earlier?"
Xie Yunshan had never taken care of a child before. He frowned as he looked at the complicated clothes beside the bed and subconsciously continued her words.
"What should we do... Let Nan Zhao stop the war and negotiate. If we stop fighting, the prince will naturally come back... Wait a minute..."
General Xie reacted and poked Tuanzi's nose, lowering his voice and giving a warning.
"The prince said that An An must stay here and not run around!"
Jiang An, wearing only his underwear, stood beside the bed with his hands on his hips, "(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~"
She shook her head and said proudly, "Dad won't restrain me. He must have told you not to run away by myself and to bring guards with you when you go out to play!"
"Hey~ You little dumpling, you are so cunning."
Jiang An twisted his butt, looking very proud, "There's nothing I can do, An An is just so smart~"
After Nioniou helped Tuanzi put on clothes, Xie Yunshan also entered the main tent again carrying the food box.
He was worried and told Nioniou that if Tuanzi wanted to go anywhere, she must tell him!
Jiang An, who was chewing on a rabbit leg, raised his head. The mischievous little boy's eyes rolled around, and no one knew what he was thinking...
The next second after Xie Yunshan walked out of the tent, Tuanzi threw away the rabbit leg in his hand and looked at his beloved maid with a lovely smile.
"Brew~"
Nianniang's eyes were helpless. "Miss, if you want to do anything, you still have to finish your breakfast obediently."
This is the promise~
Jiang An bit the rabbit leg and smiled with his eyes curved.
then…
Xie Yunshan, who was handling military affairs, successfully received a letter from Jiang An and learned that this guy had gone to Fengyang with his maids and guards.
Xie Yunshan sat in the main seat of the tent, with a letter in one hand and a brush dripping with ink in the other. The young man's handsome face was mostly dark.
Okay, okay, it’s useless to say it, right? Just act first and report later, right?
When she comes back, he will definitely spank her!
Xie Yunshan opened the letter, read it first, then turned it over and looked at it again uncertainly...
Jiang Yizhou, who was sitting nearby, asked softly, "Yunshan, what did An An say?"
"This An An is also spoiled by the emperor's uncle. How can she let herself go and play around when two countries are at war..."
Xie Yunshan frowned, and for the first time he wondered to his best friend what the hell he was talking about.
He put down the ink-stained paper with Tuanzi's signature and fingerprint on it.
"Tuanzi said that she went to Fengyang to arrest someone."
Jiang Yizhou:?
He hesitated and asked in confusion, "Catch someone? Who?"
General Xie said calmly, "Let's go and capture the Nan Zhao commander."
During the march and the battle, the soldiers charged in front, and the commander sat in the back. There must be a backbone of Nan Zhao sitting in Fengyang City...
Only Jiang Jichen is different from others because he is willing to risk his life.
Xie Yunshan muttered to himself.
Jiang Yizhou stopped talking, he felt his face hurt...
Xie Yunshan: "Someone come!"
"General Xie, what do you want?"
"Hurry up and find a few smart guys from the Qingqi, disguise yourself and go into Fengyang City to see who your little ancestor has captured..."
Soldier:!
"Yes!"
Without even the time to salute, he lifted the curtain and walked a few steps out before taking a deep breath and shouting, "Light riders, come here quickly, the young lady has gone to Fengyang!!"
The corners of General Xie's eyes twitched in the tent. He stood up and cursed: "You fool, you are riding lightly outside the camp. Can he hear you?"
"Who brought these soldiers here?"
Yun Yi, who was serving the pen and ink, touched the tip of his nose and said, "Sir, these are the infantrymen under General Huo Lang..."
Xie Yunshan lifted his robe and sat down again, "Huo Lang, it's okay then."
On the other side, under the city of Fengyang.
The city of Fengyang was under martial law, but because the chances of winning the war were high, the city gates were not closed tightly, but the inspections were stricter.
"stop!"
The soldiers guarding the city stopped the group and looked them up and down.
"What are you doing here?"
Zhengyan, who had gotten a set of casual clothes from somewhere, hugged Niangniang, who was holding Tuanzi with a black face, and gave her a flattering smile.
"Brother officer, we are doing business. I am the young master, and this is my wife and children..."
"The people behind here are all the guards and servants I hired..."
"Brother officer, I'm telling you, I'm in such a plight. I finally managed to get some goods to sell to the Southern Merchants, but as soon as I got back from the Southern Merchants, there was a war!"
"All my money and even my carriage were taken away by a nobleman who appeared out of nowhere with his soldiers..."
"Luckily, people don't care about our worthless lives, so we escaped!"
Tuanzi, with a dark face, glanced at Zhengyan and silently gave him a thumbs up from where no one could see.
Well done, you are tarnishing your own reputation, right?
Zhengyan blinked his eyes and cried loudly again. He used the octopus hold method he learned from Tuanzi, hugged the soldier, and talked with tears and snot, making it impossible for the soldier to pull him off.
