Chapter 157

Changling Hou Xiahou Sheng, when he was young, he followed the founding emperor of the Southern Zhao Kingdom to fight in all directions. Although he was just a small soldier at first, his fierce fighting spirit on the battlefield gradually emerged in the army.

At the beginning of the founding of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, he had become a hot figure in the army. He was the two walls of the empire at that time, and his reputation was at its peak. Then he naturally became the first chief general of the Xiangfan Legion.

On the eve of the Battle of Tieyushan, Xiahou Sheng returned to Jinling to recuperate due to his old injuries. Most of the opportunities for the two northern countries to choose to go south were because Xiahou Sheng no longer had Jingzhou, which shows his ability.

It was because of this that Xiahou Sheng reported to the point of revenge, but after Emperor Ling's persuasion, he compromised and was given the title of Changling Marquis and assisted in the capital.

But in the past twenty years, no one in the court dared to underestimate Xiahou Sheng in the slightest, even Emperor Ling gave him three points, so Qingyan may be the first person to dare to take his face in so many years. Logically speaking, as a veteran of the two dynasties, Xiahou Sheng had such face-to-face flattery to give Qingyan a full face, but the Zhao family's temper is a stubbornness of the same lineage. If it were anything else, it would be fine, and the reversible scale would never be allowed to be violated.

"What the prince said is that this marquis is abrupt." Xiahou Sheng showed no sign of anger, as if he was a kind elder.

"This cannot be blamed on the old marquis. I have always considered myself a man from the Northern Mansion, so the Northern Mansion Huangqi has an irreplaceable position in my mind." Qing Yan had no intention of stopping when he saw the opportunity, and his tone was still the same.

Looking at the other party calmly, Qing Yan thought that his words would anger the old fox if he was so rude. If it didn't work, he would have to apply a strong medicine, otherwise he would really not be able to say anything.

"Since the prince valued the Huangqi of Beifu so much, hasn't he been looking for their traces?"

"The old marquis said something that made me a little confused. Bai Yi led his army back to Beijing, but in front of the civil and military officials of the court, he said that the Huang cavalry of the Northern Palace was ambushed and the whole army was killed in battle, and his father was even missing. So how could he find the Huang cavalry of the Northern Palace?" Qing Yan smiled faintly.

"I am sincere and sincere, and I hope you don't laugh. Although Bai Yi did say that back then, who in the world would believe this? Do you think so?" Xiahou Sheng also looked at Qingyan with a smile.

"Oh? It seems that the old marquis and I think the same thing. I don't believe that the Huangqi cavalry in the North Mansion will be wiped out. I guess there will be hundreds of people left in any case."

A hint of cold light flashed in Xiahou Sheng's eyes, and then he sighed: "I hope so, but maybe no one died. After all, there was no body of the Northern Huangqin in the past few years."

Damn, this old fox is indeed for the Huangqin of the Northern Mansion, and Qingyan cursed in his heart.

"If Bai Yi really lied back then, I would definitely be the first to cure him for deceiving the king, but there is no conclusion now, so I still believe in Bai Yi and believe that he will not betray Nan Zhao."

"What the prince said is reasonable, but if you look deeper, Bai Yi is the most loyal to the royal palace." Xiahou Sheng's eyes were already a crack in the city.

"The old marquis is joking. This hat is too big and can't stand it when it's shoulder to shoulder with the royal palace." Qingyan's smile was very natural, as if he was just talking to the other party. "After that, why did the old marquis care so much about the army that has disappeared for twenty years? Little did he know that they might have become a handful of loess."

Xiahou Sheng looked regretful and said in pain: "Although the Huangqin of the Northern Palace is not under the command of this lord, they are indeed the sharpest blades of Southern Zhao. Over the years, this lord hopes that they are just missing. If they were there, there would be no Huaihe War a few years ago? Alas... I feel heartbroken."

"I didn't expect that the old marquis attaches great importance to Huangqi in the North Mansion. It's really touching. It seems that I need to apologize for what I said before."

"Your Majesty doesn't have to do this. If you can find the Huangqi cavalry of the Northern Mansion one day, that would be a great blessing for the Southern Zhao Dynasty and a great success!"

"Yes, in order to revitalize the glory of the Northern Palace and for the Southern Zhao, I will do my best to find clues of the Northern Palace Huangqi. After returning to the Huwei Camp, I will be the first to ask Bai Yi to see if he is hiding something."

Xiahou Sheng bowed and said, "Since the prince is so concerned about the overall situation, I will not keep you. If there is really good news, I must notify me as soon as possible."

"This is naturally. Then I will say goodbye. The old marquis doesn't have to send him off."

"Goodbye."

Seeing Qingyan disappearing from sight, Xiahou Sheng's smile gradually calmed down until his face turned gloomy and terrifying.

"It's really a scallion that doesn't show its head..."

---------------------------(I'm a dividing line)

After leaving Changling Hou Mansion, I originally wanted to go to Yuetang Academy to discuss with Su Ju. After all, Xiahou Sheng’s intention was unclear, but because of the matter in the Huwei Camp, I decided to ask again on the tenth day of the lunar month.

When he returned to Huwei Camp, he saw Shi Zhan walking towards him.

"Are you coming out to be lazy or have you finished?"

"Report to the prince, the construction has been completed as you ordered. Please move and inspect it."

When he came to the warehouse with Shi Zhan, Qingyan looked in front of him and nodded frequently, and praised him: "I didn't expect that you are so smart and so clever. I'll just give you a few jars of fine wine to reward you."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I hope to change the wine to something else, I wonder if it is possible?" Shi Zhan rejected Qingyan abnormally.

"Oh? Then tell me what you want and make it in advance. I don't have a girl in my hand." Qing Yan always felt that Shi Zhan was very intent.

"The prince misunderstood. Do you still remember the duck we brought when we came back from Lingnan? My father was very satisfied after enjoying it. As a son, he should try his best to satisfy his father's preferences, but you also know that although the Shi family is a bit prominent, his father does not like to make friends, so there is no way to buy the Jinding duck back."

Qingyan suddenly realized, "I want me to help you get a few ducks. I thought it was a big deal. Don't worry. After the New Year, I will go to Lingnan to visit relatives with the princess. I will definitely bring you a few more. I will also instruct Dong Yan to send him to Jinling every month. You can rest assured now."

Shi Zhan was overjoyed when he heard this, and then bowed deeply, "Thank you, Prince!"

"You're so kind of polite. I have always had a relationship with General Shi. I can make him happy with just a few ducks. I can't ask for it."

-------------------(I'm a dividing line)

In a blink of an eye, seven days passed.

On the tenth day of November, the wind is sunny and cloudless, which is a rare good weather.

At the time of Si, it should have been the time for students to study in the classroom, but today is the first exception since the founding of the college, and everyone gathered on the shooting range of the academy.

The six arts of gentlemen, rituals, music, shooting, imperialism, books, and numbers. Because Nan Zhao strictly controls horses, there is no horse farm in the college, and the shooting range is the most popular place for students in their spare time.

"Why haven't my brother come yet? Isn't it because I've had diarrhea?" Zhao Ling'er looked forward, hoping that the familiar figure would appear soon.

"Ling'er, are you his own sister? Why don't you hope he can order it well? Maybe it's because you delayed the way." Shangguan Feiyan complained.

"You don't know that the new wife in the mansion doesn't have a good cooking skills, but she always likes to mess around in the kitchen and make things. Tsk tsk, you can't compare with Feiyan. Once I tried it by a trait, and my god almost poisoned me to death." A fearful expression appeared on Zhao Ling'er's face.

Shangguan Feiyan heard this for the first time and said curiously: "It's Ling'er, you're too exaggerated. I heard that the princess is very popular with the lady."

"Love is love, cooking is like cooking, and you don't know that my brother loves that girl very much. Every time she cooks a meal, my brother will eat no matter how difficult it is to swallow it. The most annoying thing is that he praises the girl every time." Zhao Ling'er pouted and was very jealous.

"So Qingyan has always had diarrhea since his marriage?"

"Yes, I'm afraid that the girl will harm her brother again early in the morning."

After hearing this, Shangguan Feiyan was also envious and thought that although Qingyan always praised the food he cooked, it was definitely the happiest thing in life to be able to make his favorite dishes every day.

"What are you two girls talking about?" Su Ju walked over with her hands behind her back.

"Sir, we didn't say anything, we were just talking about the cooking skills of the princess side by side." Zhao Ling'er replied in a sweet voice.

"The princess has been with her family for so long, why don't you call her sister-in-law? Are you still resentful of that incident back then?" Su Ju smiled evilly.

Zhao Ling'er was very embarrassed and angry when she heard this, but she could not lose her temper at Su Ji, so she could only kick the gravel under her feet.

"It was Su who had just dealt with the ink on your body back then, otherwise you would have to be a little cat for more than ten days." Su Ju sighed: "But so many years have passed, and you, a girl, have never said thank you. It really makes Su feel heartbroken as a gentleman."

Shangguan Feiyan caught a glimpse of the familiar figure from the light and quickly persuaded him: "Sir, don't tease Ling'er, Qingyan is here."

At this time, everyone saw that at the end of the stone road, Qingyan slowly came with a very huge cart, and there were many soldiers wearing armor behind him.

Qingyan pushed the cart and looked back: "General Huang, I didn't expect to bother you to be this coolie. I'm so embarrassed."

Huang Quan smiled heartily and said, "What are the words of the prince? The Huwei Camp did not order not to enter Beijing without permission. Can Beizhi still watch the prince push this huge thing alone?"

"General Huang is indeed quick to speak. I wonder what will happen to the general in a while?"

"As long as it is not during wartime, the humble official is very idle. Apart from patrolling the city defense, they are eating, drinking, and urinating. So there is nothing wrong. What is the prince's order?"

Qingyan shook his head and said, "I didn't have any instructions, I just wanted to invite General Huang to see something new."

"New things? Is the prince talking about the things on this car?" Huang Quan looked beside him. Although he was very curious under the city gate before, the car was covered with a large cloth, so it was difficult to ask.

"Of course it's this thing. General Huang, I might as well tell you the truth. If this thing is successfully tested, it will not only be of great benefit to the people, but it will be even more of a great help to the military."

"It's really so magical? Then, if you use Tianfeng Guard to get a low position, you won't leave. Hehe... It's true that I'm lucky. Those old Huainan subordinates don't have such a blessing."
