The Favoured Medical Princess: 786 Prestige
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
For ordinary people in Xiye, the Guan family army has been destroyed, but the King of Xiye and everyone else in the study knew that the Guan family still had the last Guan Yubai.
For a moment, King Xiye's lips pursed into a straight line, and many scenes from the past flashed through his mind.
Once upon a time, in the western night, the names of Guan Ruyan and his son were enough to scare the crying children.
Once upon a time, countless famous Xiye generals were defeated by Guan Yubai, a yellow-haired kid. Tens of thousands of Xiye generals also lost their lives in the Western Border, never having the chance to return to their homeland...
Once upon a time, that high-spirited young general was invincible in the battlefields of Western Xinjiang. His reputation had long surpassed that of his uncles, and he had the potential to keep pace with his father...
Once upon a time, that Guan Yubai, who was rising like a new star, and that official army that was at the height of its power, made my father, him, and Xi Ye feel like they were sitting on pins and needles, unable to sleep at night!
He took great pains to get rid of the official army, leaving only Guan Yubai turned into a sick man and lingering...
The official language Bai has been abolished!
It is impossible for Emperor Dayu to use official language Bai again, and it is even less possible for Emperor Dayu to use official language Bai again!
He thought he had completely eliminated the thorn in their side Xiye!
But, nine years later, how could that Guan Yubai come back again? !
Returning with such thunderous momentum!
How is this possible? !
A stormy sea seemed to have arisen in King Xiye's heart, and he was shouting turbulently.
Who gave Guan Yubai such an army of tens of thousands, and such an elite army? !
It can never be the cowardly, suspicious and incompetent Emperor Dayu.
No matter who the person behind Guan Yubai is, it is impossible for Guan Yubai's army to appear north of the Lahe Mountains out of thin air... Could it be that all the cities south of the Lahe Mountains have been captured?
Thinking of this, King Xiye's pupils shrank sharply and his face turned a little pale. That was nearly one-sixth of Xiye's kingdom today!
Xiye Wang’s fists were clenched tightly, and veins bulged on the backs of his hands and forehead.
After a while, he calmed down a little and said in a deep voice: "Give me the map!"
The nearby waiter responded, and quickly presented the map, laid it on the flag, and spread it out flat.
The King of Xiye looked down at the map of Xiye in front of him, and his eyes fell accurately on the Lahe Mountains that stretched for hundreds of miles, and then continued to move south, passing by the Xihe River, and finally settled on the small country in the south of Xiye Qili Country.
It is very likely that Guan Yubai entered his southern territory of Xiye through the Qili Kingdom, which means that Guan Yubai also had to pass through the Dachi Kingdom, Luo Siam Kingdom...and then Nanliang.
These are just small countries. They may be afraid of tens of thousands of tiger and wolf troops and be forced to take advantage of the border. But Nanliang is a big country in the south. Even if the Northern Expedition fails and is expelled from southern Xinjiang by the prince of Zhennan, it will A centipede insect is dead but not stiff. It is impossible for Guan Yubai to lead his army to cross the border at will... Wait a minute!
Southern Xinjiang! It’s Southern Xinjiang again!
There is a Southern Xinjiang Army in the western border of Dayu, and there is a Southern Xinjiang Army in the southeastern border of Xiye. How could there be so many coincidences in this world!
The sudden appearance of Guan Yubai must have a great connection with southern Xinjiang!
Yes, that must be the case.
With the noble family members, it is impossible for them to be recruited by the Nanliang people. In addition, Xiye is now being attacked from three sides by the Nanjiang Army and Guan Yubai. The answer is already obvious...
King Xiye’s face was livid, he gritted his molar teeth and murmured: “So that’s it, Guan Yubai and that Prince of Zhennan, Xiao Yi, are in the same group!”
One sentence caused the atmosphere in the study to change slightly. The temperature seemed to have suddenly become much colder. Several generals on standby looked at each other secretly, with doubts in their eyes.
Although they don't understand how the king came to this conclusion, the king has always been very resourceful and knows what others don't know. Since he said this, he must have come to the conclusion after careful consideration.
Obviously, Xiye is facing an unprecedented crisis now!
This Guanyu Bai is a wise general who is rare to see in a hundred years, and the Prince of Dayu Zhennan is said to have the style of his ancestors. Even in the west night, they also heard that the old Zhennan Prince The prestigious reputation of "human massacre"!
The King of Western Night didn't pay attention to the others, his eyes were still lingering on the map.
Although he was sure that Guan Yubai and Xiao Yi must have secretly colluded, he still couldn't figure out how Guan Yubai broke through the southern border of Xiye and how he bypassed the Lahe Mountains...
The King of the West Night repeatedly observed the environment near the Lahe Mountains. If it were not Nanliang, what other possibilities would there be?
Could it be passing through the wild plateau southwest of Dayu and then bypassing the east side of the Lahe Mountains?
But wouldn’t that alarm Emperor Dayu?
Or did Guan Yubai make a big circle from the small countries farther west...
Or...
As far as he knows, Guan Yubai has always been cunning and scheming. He dares to think what others dare not think. He has all kinds of unscrupulous conspiracies and conspiracies. This person is really difficult to deal with!
He was still careless. If he had known it would happen, five years ago when his envoy from Xiye went to the capital of King Dayu, he should have used Emperor Dayu to negotiate a peace and take the opportunity to offer conditions to get rid of Guan Yubai. , why are you being attacked from both sides today!
A young soldier with a square face in his twenties looked at the face of King Xiye, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to go south so that the official..."
Before he finished speaking, King Xiye suddenly swept his right arm over the imperial case, sweeping all the maps, flags, teacups, paperweights, pens, inks, papers, inkstones, etc. on the case to the ground...
For a while, there were only messy sounds of falling to the ground. The tea cup was smashed to pieces, and the fragments flew out together with the tea and ink. Other things also rolled to the floor. The study was suddenly in a mess.
The soldiers did not dare to move at all, and the tea or ink splashed on the corners of their robes and shoes.
After that, there was a dead silence in the study room, and the young soldier did not dare to speak anymore. The corners of the mouths of several middle-aged soldiers beside him made a mocking arc. This yellow-haired boy is really young and energetic, and he does not know whether to live or die! When Guanyu Bai was galloping on the battlefield and laughing proudly at the crowd, he was still wearing crotchless pants!
As for King Xiye, after venting his anger, he did not feel relaxed. Instead, his brows furrowed even more tightly.
Now that Guan Yubai's army has come from the southern border, eating so many cities with great ferocity, it seems as if a piece of flesh and blood has been cut out from his heart. He must do something and send troops to support the southern border...
He glanced at the young soldier gloomily, his face even more ugly.
Going south? !
He also wants to send troops south, but the problem is...
Xiye was already stretched thin at this moment. Most of his troops were transferred to the western territory of Dayu, while a small number were sent to the southeastern territory to deal with Xiao Yi.
Moreover, not only are the troops insufficient, but food, grass, horses, clothing, armor, equipment, etc. are all in short supply...
Thinking of this, King Xiye's face was so gloomy that he could almost drip with ink.
After he composed himself, he raised his head and asked in a deep voice: "Lakda, how many more troops can be mobilized to go south for support?"
A middle-aged soldier in his forties immediately took half a step forward, did not dare to raise his head, clasped his fists and responded: "Go back to the king, at most twenty thousand."
When the square-faced young soldier heard this, he finally realized that he was completely wrong.
There was silence in the study for another moment, and then the voice of King Xiye sounded again: "Do you know how many people that official language brought to the table for nothing?"
Lakda lowered his head and replied in a slightly stiff voice: "I'm not sure yet... but I will see, at least fifty thousand."
As he finished speaking, both he and the other soldiers around him held their breath, waiting for the next wave of King Xiye's rage to hit.
Unexpectedly, what awaited me was a long period of silence...
Western Night King seemed to have calmed down a lot, stroking the beard on his chin, lowering his eyes and thinking.
Xiao Yi only had 20,000 troops and horses as reinforcements and could not be moved, lest he lose sight of one thing.
In this case, there is only one option left.
Dayu Xijiang!
Now that the general of Western Xinjiang, Han Huaijun, has been defeated, Emperor Dayu and that so-called Weiyuan Marquis are bent on seeking peace. For himself and Xi Ye, this is the best opportunity!
There are hundreds of thousands of Xiye troops in Dayu's Western Territory. As long as the war in Western Territory is stable, he can mobilize enough troops from there to go south to eradicate Guan Yubai.
Back then, Guan Yubai and the official army made him lose troops and generals in Xiye countless times, which further damaged his prestige in Xiye and forced him to live in a corner in Xiye for many years.
This time, Guanyu also came to Bai's door, giving him a chance to settle old accounts.
When he falls into his hands, he must make him regret daring to provoke him Xiye! Let him know what it means to live but not to die!
The corner of Xiye Wang's mouth curved into a cold smile, like a poisonous snake.
"Preach the decree to Tahai and end the war in Western Xinjiang as soon as possible!"
When King Xiye gave the order, the soldiers immediately understood the profound meaning and clasped their fists to compliment "the king is wise."
Amidst the praises, King Xiye exhaled his previous depression and became energetic again.
Although the current war situation looks extremely dangerous, as long as the war in Western Xinjiang ends, the situation will change drastically.
As long as enough troops are mobilized, what does Guan Yubai's mere 50,000 troops count? !
After all, these 50,000 troops are not official troops, but just the Southern Xinjiang Army!
The official army back then was so powerful and terrifying, not only because those soldiers were elite soldiers who could fight one against ten, but also because the whole army was united as one. In the minds of those officers and soldiers, Guan Ruyan and his son were theirs. Faith, for the sake of faith, all officers and soldiers of the government and army can go through fire and water without any doubt...
But things are different now!
The master of the Southern Xinjiang Army is named Xiao, not Guan.
No matter when and how Guan Yubai colluded with Xiao Yi, there must be some kind of interest connection between them. Once interests are involved, this cooperation is extremely fragile. Now, Xiao Yi can give Guan Yu He has tens of thousands of troops. Tomorrow, he can withdraw these tens of thousands of troops for some reasons.
As long as you are human, you will inevitably be suspicious. The more senior and powerful a person is, the more likely you are to avoid this problem!
Thinking about it, a flash of ridicule flashed in Xiye Wang's eyes.
As long as he uses a few tricks, he will be able to sow the seeds of doubt between the two people, make them suspicious of each other, and make them turn against each other. So what else can Guan Yubai rely on? !
At this moment, Guan Yubai seems to be leading tens of thousands of troops and is arrogant. In fact, he is walking on a thin rope, surrounded by cliffs. A gust of wind can blow Guan Yubai away. There is no recovery!
Nine years ago, I was able to ruin Guan Yubai once, and now, I can ruin him the second time!
And this time, Guan Yubai can never stand up again!
The study was quiet for a long time, but this time, it was no longer dull and depressing, but filled with eager ambitions.
Bang! boom! boom!
With his heart beating like a drum, I don’t know how long it took, King Xiye finally looked at the generals again and issued a series of orders in a deep voice...
After a moment, the loud echoes and orders of the soldiers were heard in the study.
After that, the soldiers filed out with their heads held high and went home.
After that, a decree of eight hundred miles was rushed out of the palace and sent to the distant western border of Dayu...
The sky gradually darkened, and finally fell into the shroud of darkness, and everything was silent...
Compared with the crises and climaxes in Xiye and Dayu, Southern Xinjiang is as peaceful as a paradise, and all the disturbances seem to be isolated by some invisible force.
After Laba, the palace becomes even busier, and the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month arrives in a blink of an eye. It is an auspicious day for offering sacrifices, praying for blessings, accepting gifts, getting married, etc. It is an auspicious day.
Early in the morning, the main courtyard of the palace was filled with bustle and excitement.
Not only King Zhennan is there, but also Nangong Yue, Xiao Xiao Yu, Concubine Wei and Xiao Rongrong Yu.
Zhennan Wang's loud voice came from the hall: "Prince Princess, next month is brother Yu's first birthday gift, so don't be careless." According to him, the double full moon banquet in the first half of the year was still too simple. , that is his precious golden grandson, the heir to Zhennan Palace, he can afford no matter how grand it is!
Nangong Yue bowed and agreed with a smile. Before Brother Yu's first birthday ceremony, A Yi and Guan Yubai are coming back, so it's time to have some fun.
The King of Zhennan stroked his beard and warned uneasily: "Prince Concubine, I will instruct the accountant to move ten thousand taels to you later. At that time, I will invite all my relatives and friends from far and near, and then invite the When the Cheng family troupe comes over to perform, it must be grand and lively. Also, the things used for the first-year gift must be of the best quality... By the way, I remember that there should be some good things in my private treasury that I can give to Yu. Brother, I need you to catch Zhou Yong..."
The King of Zhennan kept talking, becoming more and more excited as he talked.
Nangong Yue echoed from time to time.
In the hall, there is harmony and joy.
After King Zhennan talked about a series of first-year gifts in one breath, he felt a little dry in the mouth. He picked up the tea cup to moisten his throat and sighed in his heart: I just felt that I was really worried about Jin Sun!
Hey, who made him have a troubled and rebellious son!
The King of Zhennan couldn't help but frowned and said: "Brother Yu's big day is coming soon, and Ayi doesn't know where to run!" There is only more than a month left before the first birthday gift of his precious golden grandson. This rebellious son No one has been seen yet!
When he thought that Xiao Yi's rebellious son was leading tens of thousands of troops from Luo Yue City, King Zhennan felt a dull pain in his temples.
The hall was silent for a moment. Nangong Yue picked up the tea cup and pretended not to hear. The same goes for Wei and Xiao Rongyu.
And another person in this room happened to walk out slowly from the west room. He happened to hear someone calling his name, and he shouted "Ahhh".
This milky cry immediately made the King of Zhennan turn from worry to joy. He smiled with joy and hurriedly followed the sound.
Little Xiao Yu staggered towards the direction of King Zhennan, showing his bright smile and cute little teeth to King Zhennan without hesitation, shouting: "Ancestor... Ancestor..."
"Brother Yu!"
When he saw Jin Sun coming towards him like a baby swallow returning to its nest, King Zhennan smiled stupidly.
The little guy's two little fat legs staggered as he walked, Silk Lady followed cautiously behind, with a nervous look on her face, fearing that Xiao Shisun would accidentally...
Whatever you are afraid of will happen. Suddenly, Xiao Yu’s right foot stumbled and he fell straight to the ground...
Silk Mother let out a low cry and wanted to help Xiao Shisun, but she was already a step too late. She watched helplessly as the little guy fell to the ground.
The old face of King Zhennan almost wrinkled together, feeling very distressed, as if he was the one who fell.
"Kekeke..."
Little Xiao Yu raised his round face and smiled happily. In fact, the ground in the main courtyard had already been laid with carpets by King Zhennan's servants. The little guy was wearing a thick coat, so it didn't hurt at all if he fell.
The little guy thought it was so much fun. He wanted to roll on the carpet when his body tilted. Unfortunately, he failed. King Zhennan came to him and hurriedly helped him stand up.
The King of Zhennan wanted to pick up little Jin Sun, but little Xiao Yu shook his head desperately and refused to hold him, insisting on leaving by himself.
The King of Zhennan had no choice but to let the precious dumplings go and stumble forward. This time he finally successfully reached the chair where the King of Zhennan was sitting.
"Brother Yu, we have done a great job!" King Zhennan praised with all his praise, "You will definitely be a martial arts prodigy in the future. Grandpa will teach you martial arts in the future, okay?"
"Ah! Ah!" Xiao Yu shouted while waving his little meat fist. In his grandfather's ears, this meant that the precious Jin Sun agreed.
The King of Zhennan smiled with satisfaction and held the little guy on his lap. He only felt that Jin Sun was worthy of being the son of his Xiao family. He was determined to inherit the style of his ancestors at a young age.
After the grandfather and grandson played on the ground for a while, Nangong Yue took the little guy to leave. Xiao Rongyu also stood up, saying that she was going to take classes with her husband.
The King of Zhennan reluctantly let them go, leaving only the Wei family to talk with him.
After leaving the main courtyard, Nangong Yue and Xiao Rongyu both walked eastward. Xiao Yu was held by Silu Niang and walked behind them.
Nangong Yue asked casually as she walked: "Fifth sister, you have been learning chess with Mr. Guan for several days, how do you feel?"
Xiao Rongyu's eyes suddenly lit up, she raised her eyes to look at Nangong Yue, and said with a serious face: "Sister-in-law, Mr. Guan's teachings are in-depth. Yesterday, I played chess with my mother, and my mother also said that I have made progress."
After a pause, she looked shy and said: "I used to think that Go was boring, but after listening to a few words from the teacher, I felt enlightened and realized the fun of Go." Her little face was in the rising sun. Under the gentle touch, it seemed to be coated with a light golden light.
Hearing this, Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows with interest.
No matter how smart this person is, if he is not interested in something, he will naturally not be able to learn it well. It is commendable that Mr. Guan can teach students according to their aptitude.
The two girls in this family both admired Mr. Guan so much that they could not hide their praise. Nangong Yue actually became somewhat interested in this life and said to Xiao Rongyu: "Fifth sister, I will go with you today." Are you welcome to attend?”
Xiao Rongyu was startled, showed a cute smile, nodded hastily: "Of course you are welcome!"
Nangong Yue asked Silk Niang to carry little Xiao Yu back to Bixiaotang, while she followed Xiao Rongyu to Yingxue Residence, which was specially designed for girls to study.
Yingxue lives on the northeast side of the inner courtyard of the palace, which is slightly remote, mainly because it allows the girl to have a quiet place to study.
Guan Jinyun has arrived. Just like the previous two times I saw her, she was dressed very plainly, neither humble nor arrogant, and her words made people feel like they were having a spring breeze.
Guan Jinyun seemed a little surprised when he saw Nangong Yue coming, but soon stepped forward to greet Nangong Yue as if nothing had happened.
Nangong Yue didn’t say anything else, she simply said that she was just here to listen and asked her to do what she wanted.
Guan Jinyun was not restrained. After Xiao Rongyu burned incense and purified her hands, they started class.
The so-called class is actually playing guided chess.
Although playing chess and teaching chess are related to each other, they are not inevitable. Playing chess well does not mean that you can teach chess.
For example, Xiao Fei once coached Xiao Rongying to play chess, but she only wanted to teach her all her skills. She did not understand that the master led her to practice by herself. The knowledge she memorized but did not understand was only on the surface. Even if you remember it today, you will forget it tomorrow and the day after.
This Mr. Guan is indeed a famous teacher. He is good at explaining his intentions at every step, pointing out the pros and cons of each of Xiao Rongyu's children, and occasionally giving appropriate encouragement...
Seeing Xiao Rongyu's concentration, Nangong Yue couldn't help but smile.
She did not disturb the master and apprentice, and after burning the incense, she quietly left alone.
Nangong Yue didn't notice that a pair of dark eyes behind him were staring at her leaving back for a moment. The eyes were deep, like a deep pool, as if something was surging under the deep pool. It seems calm, but in fact there is a turbulent undercurrent.
————————Digression——————
I suggest that Mr. Guan should be assigned to the girls who are novices. At least let’s see how old Mr. Guan is. She can be a mother to novices! Tears. Xiaobai's life-long event really makes you worry.
