C430 garrison in jiangzhou

Jiang Prefecture, Prefect's Estate.

Xuanyuan Rui was feeling slightly troubled as he looked at a map of the Jiang Prefecture. Long ago, the Vermillion Bird of the profound mechanism had given him the map of the Jiang Prefecture and even indicated the location of the Army of Chu's encampment.

The fifty thousand man army had especially come around the other way to avoid encountering the Army of Chu. If it was one against three hundred thousand, they would not be able to fight back at all.

However, Jiang Prefecture was neither easy to defend, hard to attack nor hard to defend. Its attacks and defenses were very average, but it was the only link between the Heavenly Saint and the Chu Country.

Lin An looked at the seated Xuanyuan Rui. His face was covered by a mask that was enough to cover half of his face, and the other half of his face was completely revealed. His thin chin, exquisite and perfect profile, and half of his crimson red lips were revealed.

The aura and aura of someone who had been in a position of power for a long time gave off a strong sense of the martial arts world. Lin An's eyes were unfathomable.

When Xuanyuan Rui read the order personally issued by the Emperor Xuanyuan in front of him, he was extremely shocked. He was completely unable to guess just who it was.

"General Lin, what do you know about the terrain of the Jiang Prefecture?" Xuanyuan Rui suddenly asked, waking Lin An up from his daze.

Facing Xuanyuan Rui's gaze, which could be considered to be relatively gentle, Lin An was actually inwardly shocked. Such a gaze looked somewhat familiar, but he could not recall where he had actually seen it before.

After hearing Xuanyuan Rui's question, Lin An suppressed the shock in his heart, lowered his eyes, and said respectfully: "This general does not know much about the terrain of the Jiang Prefecture. However, the Crown Princess had made a general drawing of the terrain of the Jiang Prefecture, and will ask her subordinate to send it to you soon. "

Although Lin An was not clear about who Xuanyuan Rui was, just based on the aura he had and the royal decree personally issued by the Emperor Xuanyuan, he must have an inkling of who Xuanyuan Rui was. As such, his attitude was not overly cordial, but it was also extremely respectful.

"Alright." Xuanyuan Rui said indifferently: "In the past few days, this official has heard about the matter of the Jiang Prefecture. Up until now, the capital has not sent any officials to the Jiang Prefecture. , please take care of all the things that have been piled up these days in my study, I will take care of them personally. "

He knew that the Jiang Prefecture Lord had lost his life just to block that blade strike for Xie Qingrong.

Sighs.

Hearing this, Lin An gave a somewhat astonished glance, but didn't have any objections to Xuanyuan Rui's decision.

"Sir, may I ask if you would like the Grand Master of the Jiang Prefecture to take you to have a good understanding of the terrain of the Jiang Prefecture?" "The princess' previous knowledge about the Jiang Prefecture all came from this master."

The meaning behind Lin An's words was that this master could be reused as soon as possible. Worried that Xuanyuan Rui might be hesitant in his heart, so he used the title of Crown Princess to increase the weight within.

Xuanyuan Rui naturally understood the meaning behind Lin An's words and was secretly surprised in his heart. Originally, he thought that martial generals did not have such meticulous intellect, but he did not expect that this General Lin was actually out of his expectations.

But when he thought about how his clan was going to marry Lin Mu, he immediately understood.

Lin Mu was the son of Lin An. Even though Lin Mu rarely spoke, his actions and actions had never made any mistakes. To be able to stay by Xuanyuan Chen's side for so many years, he was definitely not some simple character.

This Lin An, was naturally not some simple character.

"Since the General Lin has made a great effort to recommend me, tomorrow I will have Master bring me to the Jiang Prefecture. I can also take this opportunity to gain some understanding of the Jiang Prefecture."

Xuanyuan Rui went along with Lin An's words and agreed with his suggestion.

Lin An heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, he felt that working with this lord might not be impossible, at least he was not arrogant and proud, to be able to listen to the opinions of the people around him, he did not have to use his authority to entrust people.

A material that could be created.

However, the only drawback was that there was a mask on his face, making it impossible to see his true face.

The reason why Xuanyuan Rui wore half of the mask was naturally so that his identity would not be exposed. Although he had disappeared from the Heavenly Sage for several years, his death was recorded in the history books.

There was no need for him to use his own true face to look at others, what's more, this Lin An was the person who had seen his true face before.

In order to not bring unnecessary trouble to Xuanyuan Chen, he would wear the mask on his face from the moment he appeared to the moment he successfully retreated.

Heavenly Sacred Capital, Linglong Hall Palace. The palace maids had just extinguished the candle flame in the outer hall, leaving behind only the candle in the inner hall which glowed with a faint light.

Zhangsun Wenyan stood at the window, looking at the bright moon, it emitted a silver light, causing the treetops to be illuminated with a layer of silver.

Caught off guard, an outer garment wrapped around her body. She turned her head to the side, and Queen Zhangsun stood by her side as she looked out the window at the moon.

There was a gentle and serene expression on his face.

"Is Wen Yan worried about Rui Er?" Queen Zhangsun asked.

There was a layer of gentleness in her eyes. If one did not look carefully, one would not notice the layer of worry that she was trying so hard to hide in her eyes.

"Yes." Zhangsun Wenyan nodded slightly. Her eyes were not focused on Queen Zhangsun, but on the branch outside the window.

Hearing that, the Queen Zhangsun smiled and said, "No matter what, they will eventually return safely. Wen Yan, you are still pregnant with Rui Er's child, you shouldn't overwork yourself to prevent the fetus in your womb from getting injured. "

Zhangsun Wenyan naturally knew that she could not overworry, as it would be detrimental to the growth of the baby.

If Xuanyuan Rui had not appeared since the beginning, he would not have had any expectations, but in the end, Xuanyuan Rui had still appeared.

The huge gap between them was something she could not accept.

"matriarch, aren't you worried about them?" Zhangsun Wenyan asked.

She was not only asking Xuanyuan Rui, but also Xuanyuan Chen.

Queen Zhangsun chuckled. Her bewitching phoenix eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of sadness, but it was quickly covered up by her.

As their mother, how could she not worry about her children?

But as a queen, as the mother of a nation, she had to worry first about the people of the Heavenly Sage, and then about her children. It was the sorrow of a mother.

"Wen Yan, actually, Rui Er should not have come back. But he had come back and taken on the responsibilities he should not have taken. This was the true descendant of the royal family. If not for this, Wen Yan would not have waited patiently all these years. "

"As part of the royal family, the ones they shoulder first are the entire world, the rivers and mountains, the common people, and the families of their wives and children. I know that there's nothing I can do about it, but it's true that there's no way that they would let go of their responsibilities. "

"They were born into the royal family. They enjoyed the supreme glory and life that the people gave them, so they had to learn how to take responsibility and take responsibility. "The world has always worried about you and the world has always been happy for you."
