[Traveling] Attacking Wife Trick
Chapter 23 Volume 22 · Sudden Marriage
With the arrival of Dongyue, Yingcheng and the others have been in northern Xinjiang for more than half a year.
Although Liang Chu officially entered the state of pre-war alert, the two countries only stopped there, and no one lit the fuse of the outbreak first.For a while, not only the Chu State, but even the Humans were silent, and the border was as peaceful as if there had never been any disputes.
Of course, the superficial illusions could no longer deceive the soldiers of Daliang, and everyone planned to attack Chu State when the time came.
At night, Hulaoguan was gusty with strong winds, yellow sand flying, doors and windows were knocked as if they were about to be shattered, and pansy flowers were trembling in the air.
At the place where the general walked, Ji Hongzhi was sitting in the front hall, his expression blurred under the lights. In his hand was a decree that had just been delivered from the capital, which expressed the monarch Ying Congyu's appreciation and respect for the Ji family army and all the soldiers. Certainly, more food and grass will be allocated to Chidu.Finally, Ying Congyu mentioned: Northern Xinjiang has been peaceful for the time being, and it is approaching the winter banquet, so Yingcheng and Ji Changxi set off to return to the capital.
There is no reason not to follow the order of the emperor.
Although Ji Hongzhi was very reluctant, there was nothing he could do.
At this moment, the fire is booming, and the room is warm.
It was Ji Changxi who broke the silence first, "Father," he said, "I will return to Northern Xinjiang as soon as the night banquet in the capital is over, it will only be a few months."
I feel very comforted in my heart, all of my children are sensible and filial.It is enough to have children like this.But when he opened his mouth to speak, Ji Hongzhi still said seriously, "Don't mess around, follow the prince well, and do everything according to His Majesty's will."
Yingcheng saw that Chang Xi's eyes drooped and he stopped making a sound, and unconsciously pursed his lower lip, which was a very childish behavior.The longer he stayed in northern Xinjiang, the more interesting he found this person.
His eyes fell on Ji Changxi, but Yingcheng said to Ji Hongzhi, "General, I also like Beijiang very much. If I can, I will bring Changxi back again."
Ji Changling also took advantage of the situation to ease the atmosphere, "Don't worry about father, maybe His Majesty still wants the prince to come here to practice more, and we will see you again soon."
Ying Cheng replied with a smile, "Second brother is right."
After all, he is used to seeing people who are separated, and although Ji Hong's melancholy has not diminished, he quickly sees it away.That's all - we can meet each other after all, why bother so much at this moment!
Under the adjustment of several people, the parting atmosphere quickly dissipated a lot.
In the days that followed, while packing up their luggage, Yingcheng and Ji Changxi also bid farewell to the soldiers at Chidu and Hulaoguan.Everyone didn't want them to return to the capital, and many soldiers were already looking forward to their return.
On the day before leaving, everyone spontaneously came to see us off, with disappointment on their faces.
Among the crowd, a voice shouted, "My lord, bring the Major General back sooner!" When the others heard this, they nodded in agreement.
Lieutenant General Zhang Qian has become very familiar with Ying Cheng during his time together.Embracing the other party's shoulders, the carefree man said, "They are all right, my lord, all of us in northern Xinjiang are waiting for you and the major general! Isn't it, brothers!"
The ups and downs of the echoes became louder.
"This day won't be too long!" Yingcheng said, "I still look forward to meeting the enemy with everyone on the battlefield when I come back, conquering the desert! Beating the barbarians!"
"Well said! Conquer the desert and beat the barbarians!" Zhang Qian clapped his hands excitedly.
For a moment, the bloody shouts of the soldiers seemed to break through the desert and hit the enemy's eardrums.
Xiaohe slipped to Ji Changxi's side, happened to see Ning Xiang looking at him with disdain, he raised his eyebrows and raised his lips slightly, "Crybaby, next time you come to Beijiang, don't just cry every day."
Ning Xiang snorted unconvinced, "Don't always be like a kid who hasn't grown up, pulling my family's side king every day."
Xiaohe suddenly became upset, and Ning Xiang did not show weakness, and the two glared at each other as if competing.In the end, under the helplessness of Ying Cheng and Chang Xi, each of them dragged one away.
After bidding farewell to Northern Xinjiang, the three of them embarked on the journey back to the capital.
After entering the southern boundary, the surrounding area was rainy and humid, sometimes with a few light snowfalls.Although Yingcheng's injured leg had healed, the wound was too deep and his knee was damaged.The dryness in the north does not feel uncomfortable, but after returning to the south, the wet and cold weather is simply tormenting, and his legs often suffer from bursts of pain.As a result, they spent a longer time on the road, but fortunately no one was rushing them.
Both Chang Xi and Ning Xiang were worried about his health, and they wanted to see the imperial doctor immediately after returning home.On the contrary, Yingcheng kept comforting them, reassuring them.
After a long journey, when they finally stood in front of the main gate of Prince Rui's Mansion, besides the servants and the elated Mu Tang, there was one person who made Ying Cheng's heart skip a beat on the spot, that was Wu Shuang.
Although he had spoken to Chang Xi, Ying Cheng still couldn't help feeling a little guilty. He secretly glanced at the person next to him, and was relieved to find that everything was going well.
When Wushuang saw Yingcheng, he was excited and happy, but when he saw Ji Changxi, his eyes dimmed again.But he still approached and bowed respectfully to the two of them, "Your Highness, Your Majesty, you have worked hard all the way."
Ji Changxi naturally knew who the person in front of him was, his face was calm, but his heart was very tangled: This is the young master Yingcheng brought back from the Golden Hazel Workshop, he is indeed - a good face, As if that person would like it.Although he had been in a place of chaos before, he didn't have the slightest trace of wind and dust on him.Now that he entered the mansion, his status must be about the same as his own, so you really don't need to be so polite.
Ying Cheng said, "Don't be too polite, Wu Shuang, once you enter Prince Rui's residence, you will be a family from now on, don't be so polite."
Wushuang responded in a low voice, but never looked up at them again.
At night, sporadic snowdrops began to fall from the dark sky, and turned into pieces of snowflakes. It is not difficult to predict that when you wake up tomorrow morning, your surroundings will definitely be covered in snow again.
Yingcheng looked at someone at the table, and couldn't help but recall the earlier scene. Although Chang Xi and Wushuang were both polite and modest, but——
Sighing rather depressed, Chang Xi likes to keep things in his heart, even if he is unhappy, he probably won't say anything.After all, the two of them had had an unpleasant fight about Wushuang before, and Ying Cheng really didn't believe that the other party didn't care at all now.
Sitting between the brocade quilts, he said, "Chang Xi, come and sleep with me."
"How old is the lord, do you still need someone to accompany you?" The voice was flat, and there was no emotion at all.
Sure enough, he was angry——
Although Yingcheng was a little distressed, it was undeniable that Chang Xi's performance made him very useful, and he was actually in a good mood.
Unaffected at all, he continued, "Then if you don't sleep with me, where are you going to sleep?"
"This seems to be my house, right?" Ji Changxi laughed angrily at him, but still approached Yingcheng, and wrapped the cushion that had been bundled before around the other's injured leg.
A corner of the gown was turned up, and on Yingcheng's slender calf, there was a terrible wound on the originally flat skin, the scar was hideous and ugly.The weather in the king's capital is bad these days, the humidity is too heavy, his injured leg is enough to suffer.The cushion is thick and comfortable, which can keep out the cold and dehumidify, and at least it can relieve the pain.
Ji Changxi's movements were light and slow, and his expression was focused, as if he was treating a precious treasure.
Yingcheng especially likes to see the seriousness of the other party.Stretching out his hand to lift his chin, he had already leaned over.
"No." Turning his head away from Yingcheng's hand, he continued the unfinished work, trying to tie the rope of the cushion.
Completely ignoring the other party's words, he put his arms around Chang Xi's waist, and Ying Cheng pressed him against the quilt with a little force.
"My lord," as a patient, Ji Changxi was still so disobedient, and Ji Changxi felt quite a headache, "Let me help you take care of the wound first, and you need to take an analgesic pill."
"No need—" Ying Cheng teased him with the corners of his lips curled up, "Chang Xi, you are more effective than any panacea."
Ji Changxi really couldn't laugh or cry, before he could react for a moment, there was a moist and hot touch on his lips, a soft and extremely gentle kiss.
The jade hook at the head of the bed was pulled down, and the light gauze curtain hung down, covering a bewitching scenery.
I originally thought that after returning to the capital, I could spend a comfortable and lazy time, but Yingcheng's wishful thinking was not right, and he was called into the palace early this morning, saying that Fengjun missed Prince Rui very much and was in a hurry. I want to meet you.
So, after stepping into the palace, Ying Cheng saw that those people seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and even Ying Lan came.
"It's finally here—" Ying Lan approached Yingcheng with a smile, and said, "You don't know that Father Jun and Dad are here—" The voice suddenly disappeared, and Ying Lan looked at the corner of his eyes and frowned, "How can you hurt me so much?" Like this?"
It was too late for Yingcheng to stop him. Zhan Xiao, who was sitting not far away, immediately stood up when he heard that, "Is the injury still not healed?" As he spoke, he walked quickly to Yingcheng. The scar made Zhan Xiao angry and anxious, "This is what Ji Hongzhi said is safe and sound?!"
"Father, my injury has healed a long time ago. This is just a scar, and it will fade away naturally after a long time." Fearing that Zhan Xiao would take his anger out on the Ji family, Ying Cheng quickly comforted him, "I really have nothing to do. They are all gone, if not for General Ji’s timely search and rescue, I might not even see you now.”
"What nonsense..." Zhan Xiao stretched out his fingers tremblingly to caress the scar on the corner of Yingcheng's eye, "Don't go to that kind of place again..."
"That can't be said that way, let's see how much Cheng'er has done this time." Ying Congyu also came to them, with a bit of pride and admiration in his smile, "Ji Hongzhi is full of praise for Cheng'er, it can be seen Proper exercise is still needed. Of course, safety is more important."
Zhan Xiao frowned tightly, not even looking at Ying Congyu.
"I'm really fine, Dad, you see I'm very energetic." Ying Cheng held Zhan Xiao's hand.
"Let the imperial doctor take a look later, and let him remove the scar for you as soon as possible, so that your father won't be so worried." Ying Congyu patted Zhan Xiao's shoulder with a smile.
Yingcheng nodded yes.All three of them really cared about him, which made Yingcheng feel at ease and warm in his heart. This feeling was really like his own family members who used to ask each other about their health, because they were afraid that their lives were not good enough.
After traveling to Daliang, he used to feel that he was a bystander and an outsider, but now it seems that under these gentle offensives, he may have been trapped in the circle without knowing it.
When returning from the palace, Ying Congyu warned, "Tomorrow, remember to participate in the court discussion with your elder brother."
Ying Cheng was stunned, he had always been an idle prince, the most he did was eating, drinking and having fun.He has never had a chance to participate in the court, and now he is allowed to go to the early court, which is really strange——
It happened that there was no one around, so Yingcheng asked his brother for news, "Why did your father come up with a whim this time, and let me go to court?"
Ying Lan smiled deeply, "Actually, it doesn't hurt to reveal a little bit to you. Father Jun has two gifts for you, so you can find out when you come to court tomorrow."
Judging by the cunning look on the other party's face, he must know the inside story.Yingcheng took advantage of the situation and wanted to make a routine, but he was not Ying Lan's opponent, and the strategy ended in failure.
But Yingcheng is not stupid, he more or less guessed one of them, probably Father Jun wants to reserve a place for himself in the court, but he doesn't know where he will assign himself?As for the other gift... Yingcheng really couldn't guess it.
However, when he actually heard the two things announced by Ying Congyu in the court hall the next day, he was beyond shocked.
One is that I was transferred to the Ministry of War, and from then on I will be in charge of the selection of military officers, military status, ordnance, and military orders.
The second is... Ying Congyu solemnly announced in front of all civil and military officials: he will marry Zhao Defang, Prime Minister Zhao's young son, to himself as the rightful emperor!
There was a burst of congratulations in the hall, some were congratulating Zhao Defang, and some were congratulating Yingcheng.
And Yingcheng - he was so angry that he was going to burn out his sanity at the moment!
Although Liang Chu officially entered the state of pre-war alert, the two countries only stopped there, and no one lit the fuse of the outbreak first.For a while, not only the Chu State, but even the Humans were silent, and the border was as peaceful as if there had never been any disputes.
