Chapter 534

Late at night, under the faint moonlight, the river flows quietly from the foot of the mountain.

Under a tree not far from the river, a dark shadow stood quietly, motionless, almost integrated with the night.

I don't know how long later, the originally quiet river suddenly heard a slight sound of water. The shadow moved, and a tall and straight man came out of the tree and came to the river.

The water was still dark. The man squatted by the river and looked down at the water in front of him. After a while, the water suddenly splashed, and a figure broke through the water, revealing a beautiful face. Seeing the man squatting by the river, the woman in the water immediately showed a happy smile, "Why are you here?"

The man said, "wait for you."

The woman blinked, and the river washed away her skin, which had been painted light brown, revealing its original color, as if it were white at night.

Wet hair sticks to the temples, and water droplets keep falling, which makes her whole person as pure and moving as the dew in the early morning.

"Do you know that I will go ashore here?" lengsa asked curiously.

Fu Fengcheng did not answer this question, but held out his hand to her and said, "come up." in Nanjiang at the end of September, the temperature at night is definitely not warm.

Lengsa put his hand in his heart and went ashore with a little strength. They stood up. Fu Fengcheng looked at her carefully, took off his coat and put it on her. He said, "I brought you dry clothes. Go and change your clothes first, and we'll go back."

Lengsa doesn't care much. Southern Xinjiang must be warmer than Jiangnan and North, so although the temperature is not warm enough, it's not cold for her. From the bag he was carrying, he took out a small bag sealed with oil paper and handed it to Fu Fengcheng, "here, the deployment map of the glory Corps may not be complete. But I have drawn everything I can."

Fu Fengcheng stretched out his hand to pick it up. "Madam, where have su Ze and sang Xi gone?"

Leng SA was surprised. "Do you know that Sangxi is in my hand?"

Fu Fengcheng smiled, "it's not difficult to guess."

Lengsa was a little disappointed, shrugged and said, "let Su Ze take him to Yingzhou. Then take a boat back to the six southern provinces. Don't worry, no one will know that Sangxi is in our hands."

Fu Fengcheng sighed and reached out to embrace lengsa into his arms. "Madam, it's so powerful that I feel useless."

Lengsa struggled to push him. "I have water on me! Fu Dashao, you have no place to use. Others will not live? But I know that if I am someone else's wife, he must not want to live."

Although this world is much more enlightened than in ancient times, not all men can accept that their wives are too powerful.

Not to mention now, even in her previous life, there are some top-notch men who think women should cook at home and wipe their children. The reason why women have to go out to work is that it is difficult for a person's income to support a family. But women should still give in unconditionally for men's career, and even give up their jobs and promotions.

Fu Dashao was silent for a moment before he said, "if my wife becomes someone else's, I can't live."

Lengsa raised his head and looked at his handsome face. "Fu Shao speaks really well, so we are made for each other."

"..." I'm serious.

The King City of Nile is in the northeast of Nile, less than 300 kilometers away from the border between Nile and Anxia, and less than 700 kilometers away from Ruo river.

The local conditions and customs of Nile are very different from those of Anxia, and are also different from those of Southern Xinjiang in Anxia. Because they originally migrated from some places farther west, in the early years, southern Xinjiang was a wilderness, and Anxia people naturally had no time to explore places outside Southern Xinjiang.

Until modern times, it had been occupied by foreign Nile people for many years. As for the original local indigenous people, they became a tiny member of the Nile country and could not afford any storm.

At dawn, in a small building in King Nile City, Xiao Zhu was sitting by the window and looking at the sky outside the window.

The horizon has revealed a touch of fish belly white, and it is obvious that dawn has come. Xiao Zhu held a cup of hot tea in his hand, but he didn't drink it. He just held it, as if he was looking at the horizon and thinking about something.

Xiao Yiran pushed the door and came in from the outside. She went to the window and respectfully said, "third uncle, Nanjiang is calling."

Hearing the speech, Xiao Zhucai returned to his senses and glanced at him.

Xiao Yiran handed the message in her hand to Xiao Zhu. Xiao Zhu looked at the content on it, picked his eyebrow and said, "Sasa is really surprising. The daughter-in-law of the Fu family is really married..."

"...." Xiao Yi was speechless. Do you know someone so well? Just call someone whispering?

Xiao Zhu glanced at him, "don't be unconvinced. If your family could have married such a prince and concubine, it might not have come to this point."

Xiao Yi Ran hurriedly said, "I dare not." he dared not think of Fu Fengcheng's daughter-in-law, nor did Xiao want lengsa to be his daughter-in-law. No matter which one sounded terrible.

But when I think about it, I can't help but keep my mouth shut. "If you had married such a queen, wouldn't you..."

Xiao Zhuo said, "you think too much. I mean, with her in your father and your brothers, you won't die stupid. Look at Fu Yucheng, isn't he promising now?"

With a knowing blow, Xiao Yiran couldn't help covering her heart and looked at her third uncle bitterly.

Xiao Zhu didn't want to comfort him. He put the teacup aside and stood up and said, "Sanha killed the king's special envoy. The king of Nile should have received the news earlier than us."

Xiao Yiran reminded, "it wasn't Sanha."

Xiao Zhu ignored him and continued, "I don't know what king Nile is thinking now?"

Xiao Yi Ran said, "I'm probably very angry. But Sanha won't wait to die. In case they don't do it clean..."

Xiao Zhu said with a smile, "even if Sanha catches the real murderer and puts him in front of King Nile, he won't believe it. In his heart, he has tacitly accepted that Sanha did it. Or, he hopes that Sanha did it."

Xiao Yiran frowned, "the king of Nile wants to use our hands to kill Sanha and the glory Legion?" although they found the news in Nile these days, the Sanha family did have some signs of provocation to the throne. Even the glory Legion doesn't pay much attention to other legions, but as a former prince, Xiao Yiran doesn't pay much attention to the behavior of attracting foreign forces to destroy her own people.

Xiao Zhuo said, "originally, there might not be such an idea, but there should be after the six southern provincial armies went south to join the war." if they can bite a piece of meat from Anxia smoothly, the king of Nile is certainly willing. Compared with the elimination of the glory legion, if the king can open up and expand the territory for the Nile, the royal family's reputation will rise greatly. At least for a short time, the glory Legion and Sanha dare not act arbitrarily.

However, after the six southern provinces joined the war, the situation deteriorated sharply, and the Nile army was defeated in a row. If you go back so gloomy, King Nile will have no light on his face. Moreover, the defeat means that the strength in the king's hands is damaged. In this way, the power and reputation of the glory Legion are bound to rise greatly. This is the reason why the king sent the 17th Legion out of the country at this time.

The first is to prevent the army of the six southern provinces from continuing to advance. The second is that after the tiger left the mountain, the royal family had time to recover the loss of troops and horses. The third is to consume the troops of the 17th Corps. Once the 17th Legion goes out, no matter whether it is successful or not, it will inevitably have huge losses. If its vitality is seriously damaged, it is naturally the best.

These are the reasons why the Nile royal family sent Sanha to fight, but even if Sanha led troops to fight, the king of Nile was still worried, so he hurriedly sent a special envoy.

Sanha knew that the king didn't trust him, and the king also knew that Sanha knew he didn't trust him, and now... The special envoy mission was killed just after it arrived.

What does this make the king think?

Xiao Yiran looked at the message in her hand and couldn't help sighing. "I just know now how dark Fu Fengcheng's heart is." although he always thought Fu Fengcheng was very dark, it was obvious that he didn't understand deeply enough before. Fortunately, he didn't choose to fight Fu Fengcheng, so he didn't

Xiao Zhu nodded in agreement. "The young master of the Fu family... Combines Arlene's intelligence and Fu Zheng's ruthlessness. He is indeed a natural hero. Unfortunately, he seems not interested in hegemony and collusion in officialdom. Otherwise... I'm afraid no one in your generation is his opponent. This is a blessing for Anxia."

Xiao Yiran shrunk her neck and couldn't help but say, "governor fu... Cruel and ruthless?" the person who can become governor will certainly not be any kind-hearted person, but Xiao Yiran always felt that governor Fu was rare to be open and aboveboard among the big men. I didn't expect Fu dujun to make such an evaluation here.

Xiao Zhu glanced at him with a smile and said faintly, "do you think the big territory of the six southern provinces is because others think he is a real hero with integrity and arrogance? Fu Zheng was not like this when he was young."

Xiao Yi Ran felt her nose a little embarrassed. "Well, let's continue to get down to business."

Xiao Zhu said, "go and prepare. After dawn, the king should send someone to invite us into the palace."

Xiao Yiran was surprised. "Hasn't the king refused to see us these days?"

Xiao Zhuo said, "if he is really not interested at all, he will drive us out of the King City on the first day."

Xiao Yiran nodded, "that's right."

They went back to their rooms and had a rest. Sure enough, at 8:00 in the morning, they were sitting in the hall eating Nile's special breakfast. Someone came and told the king to invite Mr. to the palace for a talk.

They looked at each other and saw a clear smile from each other's eyes.

Sanha has had a very difficult time these days. Because of the death of the special envoy group, the Nile Royal Pro guards and other soldiers who were still recuperating in Anxia have shown a faint hostility to the 17th Corps.

Now Sangha is not even sure whether they will face the enemy or themselves if they fight with the Anxia people on the other side tomorrow.

Therefore, he was more cautious and did not rashly decide to cross the river and fight again.

On the other hand, the news from home is also very worrying. All the deaths of the special envoy group angered the royal family. All members of the Sang family have been under the surveillance of royal guards and spies, and they may be arrested if they are careless.

The worst thing is that because this incident was sent back to China, there were many voices of condemnation and opposition to him and his family. Naturally, this is not just because of this matter, but because all kinds of discontent have accumulated over the years. Coupled with the secret guidance, it broke out.

Sanha admits that he does have some thoughts, but he can guarantee that he has absolutely no idea of confrontation with the royal family for at least a short time, but now he has been pushed to a dilemma.

Perhaps it was wrong to choose to follow the king's orders from the beginning. But as a subordinate, does he still have the choice not to send troops?

Sangha's sword eyebrows frowned tightly, and his eyebrows were full of anger.

He was suddenly stunned and couldn't help thinking of the letter sent by Fu Fengcheng the other day. But he soon put the idea behind him. He would never be fooled by Anxia people!

Sanha doesn't want to be fooled, but some people do.

A day later, there was bad news in Nile again. The king ordered Sanha to hand over the command to his deputy and immediately set off for home to explain the killing of the special envoy group.

Sangha also received another confidential message: the royal family has arrested sanggu, Sangha's eldest son. Seeing the news, Sanha tore the message in his hand in half on the spot.

When Sangha was angry, lengsa and Fu Fengcheng across the river had a very leisurely and freehand life.

After all, although the two armies are still in confrontation, Sanha obviously has no intention of crossing the river for the time being, and Fu Fengcheng is not in a hurry to cross the river, so the two armies are so deadlocked.

While letting the officers and men of the six southern provinces take turns to guard the positions along the river, they also relaxed a little. After all, it's also a very hard thing to tighten your nerves for a long time.

This day, lengsa and Fu Fengcheng were just idle. They rode out to play. Although it is the end of September, the scenery in southern Xinjiang is still picturesque. With green mountains and green waters and flowers in full bloom, I can't see the bleakness of late autumn.

After the six southern provincial armies drove the Nile people to the other side, the people in Jiangdong have completely recovered their old lives. It is probably that the six southern provincial armies have made too strong achievements along the way. It is clear that many fleeing people have returned before the war is completely over.

The people who were unable to flee their homes were even more happy and almost regarded the six southern provincial armies as living benefactors.

The two rode their horses all the way. From time to time, they saw many people in full dress walking on the road with baskets on their backs and smiles. They come out in casual clothes. These passers-by only think they are ordinary outsiders. Some brave people will say hello to them and invite them to the town in front to attend their festivals.

They knew that today was the Lantern Festival in southern Xinjiang. It was a local festival in southern Xinjiang. Although there were similar festivals in other places in Anxia, the dates and customs were different.

In southern Xinjiang, this is a big festival second only to the Chinese new year, or it can be said that it is a collective blind date for big girls and boys in southern Xinjiang.

Unlike the matchmaker's words, which have always been ordered by parents in the Central Plains, the folk custom in southern Xinjiang is open. Unmarried girls and boys can get together to see each other every year. If they like it, they can get their parents' consent to make a marriage.

Of course, this kind of festival is not only attended by unmarried girls and boys. Married people, even the elderly and children will join in the fun. After all, the more people the festival is, the better.

Just not far away, lengsa and Fu Fengcheng looked at each other and followed these people all the way to the small town.

This is just a small town, and the whole town has only two short streets. But outside the town, there are already a sea of people. It is very lively to put on lanterns and decorations. It is said that people from dozens of miles around will come here to participate in the Lantern Festival.

Looking at people's happy smiles, it doesn't look like a place that has just experienced war.

Lengsa and Fu Fengcheng are busy people. It seems that it was two years ago that lengsa participated in such an activity last time, so lengsa is rarely interested.

He bought a set of clothes for local women in southern Xinjiang from the town. When night fell, lengsa hurried out of the town with Fu Fengcheng along the flow of people.

On a large open space outside the town, there are all kinds of colored lights hanging around, and many young people also hold all kinds of colored lights in their hands.

The girls wore their best clothes one by one. They were very beautiful at a glance.

Lengsa took Fu Fengcheng's hand and shuttled through the crowd, looking at Dragon and lion dance here and juggling there. Although there were many outsiders at the lantern party, their outstanding appearance still attracted the attention of many men and women.

Lengsa was wearing the red embroidered dress she had just bought. Her hair was braided into small braids tied with colored lines. She also had headwear made of various colored beads on her head. Although they were very cheap things, they were still dazzling and beautiful.

Leng SA looked around, "shall we buy a lamp to respond to the scene?"

It seems that many people carry colored lights in their hands, and some of them are very exquisite and beautiful, no worse than those in the six southern provinces.

Without waiting for Fu Fengcheng to say anything, he saw a young man with a delicate peacock lamp come over and handed his colored lamp to lengsa shyly. "Girl, do you like my lamp?" the beautiful girl kept looking at his lamp and his heart was a little pounding.

Lengsa blinked and hesitated, "give it to me?"

The young man nodded and lengsa hesitated, "how much is it, or I'd better..." the lamp seems not cheap.

Before she finished, Fu Fengcheng had pulled her behind him, glanced at the young man and said, "she doesn't like it."

“……”

"..." Leng SA looks at Fu Fengcheng. Don't I like it?

Before she could retort, Fu Dashao had covered her mouth with one hand and said to the young man, "I'll give her what she likes. You can give it to others."

"Oh." the young man walked away with the lamp in frustration. He knew he didn't have such good luck.

"Ha ha." Leng SA just opened Fu Dashao's hand covering his mouth. Before he could speak, he heard a familiar laughter. "Madam, if you answer the light, you can't get out of this place tonight."
