Chapter 824

As they spoke, Shangguan Yan came out of the bedroom.

Shangguanyan frowned and her thin lips closed tightly.

Xiao Heng threw the branch in his hand, pulled Gu Jiao to stand up and asked Shangguan Yan, "what did the monarch say?"

Shangguan Yan frowned and said, "he told us to run away."

If he hadn't said so, she would have escaped with some children.

But he really let her escape, and she didn't want to escape.

Sure enough, the human heart is the strangest thing in the world.

"I can't escape." Xiao Heng said.

With the ambitions of Jin and Liang dynasties, neither the royal family of Dayan nor the descendants of Xuanyuan can escape. As long as the dayanshan river is broken, there is only one outcome waiting for them.

Shangguan Yan nodded: "you go back to the government first. I'll call the minister to discuss the government affairs of the imperial court."

The monarch suffered a stroke and there were wars at the border. It's really a double whammy.

But anyway, they have no way back.

Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng took a carriage back to the Anguo mansion.

The news of the court had already spread throughout the mansion, and Zheng had scolded all the Han and his family in Nangong, and had been able to make complaints about the countries that were not in the right way. Of course, they did not forget to greet the self assertive monarch.

A roomful of people gathered in the lobby.

The old sacrificial wine whispered to empress dowager Zhuang: "why did your majesty come to join the fun? Isn't he Renjun? From what I know about him, it's good if others don't beat him. He won't take the initiative to start a war. He's not that brave. "

It's not a small country like Chen, but Yan, which has the strongest momentum among the three countries.

Empress Dowager Zhuang snorted coldly, "it's not his idea at first sight. It must be encouraging."

The old sacrificial wine said thoughtfully, "who encouraged him?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang said lightly, "either Xuanping Marquis or Tang Yueshan." Tang Yueshan is more likely. This guy is belligerent.

The old toaster was at a loss and said, "ah Heng is the eldest grandson of emperor Dayan, and Jiao Jiao is the adoptive son of the government. It's really embarrassing to fight."

Empress Dowager Zhuang glared at him. Is this an embarrassing question?

The old sacrificial wine coughed: "what, what are you going to do?"

What's her plan?

It's really up to her to plan. She wants to take some children back to the state of Zhao and stay away from the rights and wrongs of the state of Yan.

But this is impossible.

From the moment several children entered the state of Yan, they had been tied to the fate of the state of Yan.

She just wanted Jiao Jiao not to go out again.

There are so many famous generals in Dayan aristocratic family. It's not necessary for a girl's family to fight, is it?

But as soon as Gu Jiao entered the yard and went to find king Heifeng, Empress Dowager Zhuang understood that she was going to the battlefield again.

Empress Dowager Zhuang silently returned to her house.

"Hey - Zhuang -" the old sacrificial wine glanced at the Duke an and the second master Jing in the wheelchair opposite, and smiled, "excuse me."

He chased empress dowager Zhuang.

Empress Dowager Zhuang sat at the window and looked at the Begonia tree in the yard.

The old priest asked, "what are you doing? He left without saying a word. "

Empress Dowager Zhuang did not speak.

The old sacrificial wine sighed, "isn't it not that far? Don't -- "

"She's only sixteen."

Empress Dowager Zhuang spoke.

The old priest was stunned.

Empress Dowager Zhuang lowered her eyes and took out a new purse from her wide sleeve: "it's only 17 in two months. She was at war on her birthday last year and this year."

Fifteen or sixteen years old is the age of innocence. She should have been waiting for a word in her boudoir. With the protection of her parents, she has gone to war for the second time.

She is so delicate that she has never had a good rest for a day.

She thought she had been tired enough in her life, but when she saw Jiaojiao, she felt she was not tired enough.

If she is more tired, can she share more for Jiao Jiao?

"Aunt."

Gu Jiao's voice came from the door. She knocked on the door, "can I come in?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang put away her purse and said as usual, "come in."

Gu Jiao pushed the door in and looked at the old sacrifice: "well, grandpa is there too."

The old sacrificial wine quietly glanced at Zhuang Jinse, who could not see a trace of melancholy, smiled and asked Gu Jiao, "what's the matter with you?"

Gu Jiao said: "there's nothing else, that is... The situation in Yan country is not very good. I discussed with ah Heng, and I'd better find someone to escort you back to Zhao country first."

Empress Dowager Zhuang said without salt: "if you don't say, we're going to leave. We've been here for so long and we're tired of it."

The defection of the Han family and the Nangong family disrupted all their original plans. The top ten aristocratic families and the great Yan monarch are no longer the enemies in front of them, but the armies of the five countries.

Lao Jijiu knows Zhuang Jinshe. She will never abandon Gu Jiao. The reason why she wants to go is that she has to go.

He soon figured out the key and said to Gu Jiao, "your aunt means that we should start quickly and try to reach Chishui pass before the attack of Zhao. Don't really let the two countries fight."

Jin and Liang can't stop it, but Zhao, Chen and Zhao can still fight for it.

No matter who the general in charge of the Zhao state is, he and Zhuang Jinshe can stop it.

As for the state of Chen, Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng discussed again and again and decided that Xiao Heng would go to make peace with Yuan Tang.

Xiao Heng will bring Gu Jiao's handwritten letter and the golden seal of the eldest grandson of the great Yan Emperor.

In fact, it is most appropriate for Gu Jiao to handle this matter. After all, Gu Jiao is the one who has friends with Yuan Tang. Yuan Tang told Gu Jiao more than once that the future Prince of state Chen owes you a favor and will return it to you in the future.

However, this may not meet Yuantang. First, Gu Jiao has a more important task to do.

Yuantang knew Xiao Heng and was released from the capital by Xiao Heng, so Xiao Heng was the second best candidate.

Xiao Heng's purpose was not only to prevent the state of Chen from going to war with Dayan, but also to use the strength of the state of Chen to block the detour of the state of Zhao.

This is not an easy task, but if we can't stop the two countries, once the eastern border of Yan is broken, the morale of the western border will drop sharply, and the war with Jin and Liang will be more difficult.

After determining the plans on both sides, Xiao Heng went to the palace and informed shangguanyan of the plan.

Shangguanyan had a heated discussion with the military aircraft ministers of various aristocratic families all night, and finally finalized all the plans.

Xiao Heng went to cangxue pass in the northeast as the eldest grandson of the great Yan Emperor, negotiated peace with the army of state Chen, and Wang Xu led his troops to escort him along the way.

As the envoy of Dayan, the Duke of an went to Chishui pass in the southeast to make peace with the army of the state of Zhao, and was escorted by Feng Wuxiu, the master of the Feng family.

Why did you pick the young Feng Wuxiu? It's mainly because he has a brother Wang fried, Taoist Qingfeng.

Aunt and grandpa will be arranged in the accompanying team.

Next is the candidate for the expedition.

Tianshan pass and Yanmen pass are both in the west of Dayan. Heifeng can arrive in 15 days by riding a rapid march, and it takes one month for infantry and luggage.

In other words, it was probably September when they got there.

Outside the Jinluan hall, Shangguan Yan looked in a daze at the west direction: "it's very cold at Tianshan pass in September. Let the soldiers take warm clothes."

Xiao Heng gave her a deep look: "what are you going to do?"

Shangguan Yan whispered, "I'll ask for another edict."

The odds of winning this battle are too small. The morale of the soldiers of the state of Yan is not high. If you want to win, you need the emperor to go out to boost their morale.

But the monarch is old and just caught the wind. It is obviously not suitable to travel far.

same day.

The emperor issued a decree to canonize the three princesses Shangguan Yan as the daughter of the great Yan. Go on an expedition on behalf of the emperor and take command of the West!

Accompanied by 50000 Heifeng riders and 120000 imperial army.

This is all the troops that Shengdu can deploy at present.

The rest of the troops were either taken away by the Han family and the Nangong family, or guarded in various borders and different cities. They cannot be easily mobilized.

In the government house, Gu Jiao is trying on the armor for the black wind king. It also has its own armor. The former one fell in the Han family. This one was newly made by the Duke of an.

Gu Chengfeng came over and said, "we don't even have half of them. How do we fight?"

He didn't realize it. He used "we".

Gu Jiao straightened the battle armor of King Heifeng and said, "you can fight as you want."

Gu Chengfeng was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of Gu Changqing at the door: "big brother!"

Gu Changqing's body has obviously improved, and his energy and spirit look good.

He has a long sword around his waist and a burden on his back. In this way, he will go far.

Gu Changqing looked at his sister and said, "are you going to go alone for such a dangerous thing?"

Gu Jiao looked at him and said, "you have a more important task."

The Western army is scheduled to start on August 20.

The night before departure, Gu Jiao decided to go to the National Teacher hall. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Xiao Heng standing at her door.

"What's up?" She asked stupidly.

Xiao Heng opened his mouth and stopped talking.

"What can I say?" Gu Jiao said.

Xiao Heng lowered his eyes and handed the two boxes in his hand.

"What?" Gu Jiao asked.

Xiao Heng was embarrassed. He took a deep breath and said, "the box above is your birthday gift last year. It was prepared long ago. You were in a hurry to go to the frontier fortress and didn't have time to give it to you. This time, I probably can't spend my birthday with you. I'll give you a gift first. "

Gu Jiao opened the box.

Last year's birthday gift was a golden charcoal.

The shell is made of pure gold and has its own rotating inside, which can replace the carbon core.

Wow, the ancient automatic pencil.

This year's birthday gift is a gold foil notebook and a pair of hairpins.

Her little book is really running out.

It's not strange to send pens and notebooks. It's rare to send hairpins.

Sure enough, I grew up and didn't step on thunder as before.

Gu Jiao gently touched the white jade hairpin with her fingertips: "I like it very much. Thank you."

Xiao Heng looked at the way she cherished it very much and knew that she had finally given the right gift this time.

He breathed a sigh and said, "are you going out just now? You go first. "

"Oh, good." Gu Jiao turned to put the brocade box away and stepped out of the room.

Looking at the back of her leaving, Xiao Heng calmed down, lowered the tension in the bottom of his eyes and called her: "Gu Jiaojiao, when you come back, we'll get married."

Gu Jiao looked at him with a confused face: "huh? Aren't we married? "

Xiao Heng smiled softly: "it's not Xiao LIULANG and Gu jiaoniang, it's Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao."

I want to marry you in the name of Xiao Heng.

Gu Jiao's lips bent slightly: "OK."

When I get back, I'll marry you.
