When Xiao Yunfan learned about Ji Qianyun's plan, he thought about it all night. The next day, he asked Li Yingxiang to resign. Li Yingxiang was shocked after hearing this. I hurriedly asked him the reason, and Xiao Yunfan answered truthfully.
Li Yingxiang stayed for a while, then slowly said: "Brother Xiao, it is not that Mr. Li has not considered your concerns. Now I have formulated a combat strategy. If it is changed at this time, I am afraid it will affect the morale of the army. Hexi and Hedong are not Defeat it as soon as possible, and then the situation of being attacked from both sides will be even more unfavorable.
Even if there is a war in the southwest, Master Zhongcheng will think of other ways. Brother, since you have decided to leave, I will not keep you. Take care of everything! "Xiao Yunfan also bowed his hands to him and turned to leave. Li Yingxiang said: "Wait a minute. Xiao Yunfan turned around and said, "Brother Li, do you have anything else to tell me?" "
Li Yingxiang took off his sword and presented it in front of Xiao Yunfan with both hands, and said seriously: "Brother Xiao, you and I have known each other for a while. It's a pity that we can't fight side by side this time. This Longquan Sword has been with Li for several years. I will use this sword." I give it to you in the hope that you can use this sword to accomplish what you want to accomplish."
Xiao Yunfan said: "This...how do you do this?" Li Yingxiang said: "Brother Xiao, I know you are not a pedantic person, I just let you hold it." Xiao Yunfan took the Longquan Sword and said: "Thank you, Brother Li. ." With that said, he got on his horse and headed towards Chengdu Mansion.
In the 14th year of Wanli, the pioneer officer Zhou Yude destroyed the forts such as Bu Dongwang and others. Zhu Wenda, Guo Cheng, and Bian Zhiyuan also captured strategic locations such as Jin'ou Fort and Guishui Cliff. After the five armies converged, they made great efforts and Captured Centipede Village, Feipeng Village and other enemy nests.
The bandits failed repeatedly and were in a difficult situation. They thought they could delay time by luring the Ming army by abandoning their baggage. Unexpectedly, the Ming army was not fooled and advanced all the way, destroying the enemy and destroying them. Soon many villages surrendered. Hedong soon calmed down.
After the crusade army rested for a while, they crossed the river and marched westward. They successively conquered enemy strongholds such as Xipo, Xige, and Gangou, and the bandits were shaken. Niuwei, Kuangfeng, and Luer are the strongest in Hexi. The leaders of the three villages had already made preparations after learning that something happened in Hedong.
The leader of Kuangfeng Village, Xiaoligu, stood firm at the gate of the village, thinking that he was invincible. He never expected that Guo Cheng would sneak attack him at night and annihilate Xiaoligu in one fell swoop. The leader of Luer Village, Jiesai, had been bewitched by a monk sent by Li Yingxiang a long time ago. The army came to attack them, but they had already hid in the mountains. Only He'erjie and his son from Niuwei Village were left to resist stubbornly. Li Yingxiang led a three-pronged army to attack, and Niuwei Village was quickly destroyed.
The remnants of the three villages had surrendered to the Ming army, and other small villages did not dare to make trouble again. Hexi was quickly pacified. Li Yingxiang's army returned triumphantly in mid-June. In the past few months, Ji Qianyun wanted to take advantage of the defeat of the Ming army to unite the tribes in the southwest to carry out a major event. However, after he drank Chi You's blood, his body underwent strange changes.
In order to suppress Chi Youxue's manic demonic nature, he stayed in seclusion for several months. During this period, the high priest Amihan proposed marriage but had to be suppressed. She caught two maids discussing Feng Miaoqing's marriage in private. Feng Miaoqing said: "Ah Feng, Ah Chen, what bad things are you two little girls saying about me behind my back?"
Ah Feng and Ah Chen were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg her for forgiveness. Feng Miaoqing rolled her eyes and said, "It's okay if I ask this holy lady to forgive you, but you must tell me what you are talking about?"
The two maids looked at each other with troubled faces. Ah Chen bravely said: "Holy girl, I can tell you about our conversation just now, but please don't say it was us who said it, otherwise the high priest will punish us severely if he knows about it?"
Feng Miaoqing thought to herself: "Grandpa actually hid something from me. Well, thanks to me knowing it from these two maids, otherwise I would have been kept in the dark for the rest of my life." Then he said with a straight face: "Aren't you afraid of me if you are so afraid of him?" Ah Chen said with a tearful face: "We are just little girls serving others. We can't afford to offend anyone. Please have mercy on the Holy Lady."
Feng Miaoqing stretched out her hand to hold up Ah Chen's chin and said, "Then you'd better tell the truth. Before I change my mind, if your truth satisfies me, I won't punish you, and I might reward you with something." Ah Chen He said: "Yes, yes. Ah Chen, to be honest, Ah Feng and I were discussing the marriage of the saint."
When Feng Miaoqing heard the word marriage, her eyes immediately opened wide. Achen said: "We also heard what others said, saying that the high priest planned to marry the saint to the Bo king, so that the saint would be the princess of our Bo tribe." Feng Miaoqing closed her eyes, her heart tightened at first, and then she felt A moment of dizziness.
Ah Chen asked worriedly: "Saint, I told the truth, please be merciful." Feng Miaoqing nodded, feeling inexplicably sad in her heart, and waved her hand to the maids to signal them to leave.
In her opinion, although Amihan had only been with him for a short time, she had an innate feeling of blood connection that never made her feel unfamiliar at all. Especially after seeing her grandmother's portrait, she became even more convinced that Amihan was her only relative in the world.
But now, this closest relative wants to entrust his future to a person he has never met. Feng Miaoqing has been extremely intelligent and independent since she was a child. She also has her own opinions on marriage matters. Even though his second uncle had made a marriage contract with the fourth son of Shenjian Pavilion, she refused the marriage by running away from home.
After getting Feng Yuchun's approval, she had the right to choose her beloved. In her heart, there may have been such a man, and this man has occupied her heart. No one else can come in anymore.
She suddenly felt her heart throbbing and thinking about that person more and more. Missing his appearance, missing his words, missing his hand touching her cheek... No matter how much she thought about it, the person in her heart was dead after all.
In the past, grandpa was his hope, and there were times when Xiao Yunfan was also his hope, but they are no longer here. It's not easy to have a grandpa, he is a little starlight in his dark life. This little starlight was originally his last hope. Now, even this hope is about to be dashed.
Feng Miaoqing's tears fell like broken beads. She returned to the room and looked at herself in the mirror. The woman who only knew how to cry in front of her didn't seem to be her. She raised her head and carefully looked at her face in the mirror.
She picked up a knife and looked at herself in the mirror. He said to himself: "I will never be Aleqiu again, nor will I marry any prince. I am Feng Miaoqing, a Feng Miaoqing who is not afraid of anything. I will destroy my appearance now. All men like young and beautiful women."
I would be ugly if I lost my appearance. The prince would never be stupid enough to marry an ugly person. "She picked up a sharp knife on the dressing table and moved it towards her face little by little.
At this moment, Amihan pushed open the door and entered. Seeing a knife in her hand, he reached out and hit her wrist with a bead. Feng Miaoqing felt severe pain in her wrist, and the knife slipped from her palm. She turned back to look at Amihan and said, "You, why did you stop me?"
Amihan asked strangely: "My dear granddaughter, what's wrong with you? Why did you use a knife to cut your face? Do you want to be like grandpa?" Feng Miaoqing looked at him, with tears in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "I , I have never been your relative, nor your grandson?"
Seeing her acting strangely, Amihan said, "My good granddaughter, could it be that someone has bullied you? Why can't you think about it?" Feng Miaoqing said coldly, "You better let me go. I have no interest in being your granddaughter now. I I think senior must have recognized the wrong person."
Amihan slowly approached her, put two skinny fingers on her forehead, and said, "I don't have a fever. Could it be that I'm possessed by evil spirits? Aleqiu, why did you say this when you saw grandpa today?" So much nonsense.”
Feng Miaoqing pushed his hand away and said: "I am Feng Miaoqing, not some Aleqiu. I am a Han, not a Bo." Amihan said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Who gave you the ecstasy soup? Why did you do it?" I don’t even recognize my grandpa anymore.”
Feng Miaoqing said: "It's you. If you hadn't poured me the ecstasy soup and said you were my grandfather, I wouldn't be as sad as I am now. I woke up from my dream, please let me leave, as if we had never met before Live the same life.”
Amihan's hands were trembling, and he said loudly: "Alqiu, do you know who you are talking to?" Feng Miaoqing covered her ears with her hands, closed her eyes and said, "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear what you say anymore. One word."
Amihan suddenly had a thought in his mind and said: "Did someone tell you that I want to marry you to King Bo?" Feng Miaoqing sneered and said: "I think anything you say now has nothing to do with me. I don't want to hear it either, please senior Let me go because I am obsessed with wanting to be your granddaughter. Now that I have done enough, can you let me go?"
Amihan lowered his head and said calmly: "My child, you know that grandpa did this for your own good. I will grow old and die. When I get old and die, there will be no one to protect you. You need a husband who can give you a strong arm." , because you are no longer a little girl.
Grandpa, I have chosen the king of the Bo tribe for you. You have to know that there are countless women in the world who want to marry him, but grandpa has already figured out a way to make him love you with all his heart. He is the king of the Bo people and will be the emperor in the future. When he becomes the emperor, you will be the future queen.
You are my only granddaughter and my only relative in this world. How could I bear to harm you? "
Feng Miaoqing listened to the tone of his words and could understand his painstaking efforts. Tears welled up in her eyes and she said slowly: "You...if you were my grandpa, you should let me choose for myself and not make the decision for me."
Amihan smiled bitterly and said: "Silly boy, is the road grandpa paved for you wrong?" Feng Miaoqing said: "It's not your fault, it's my fault." Amihan nodded and said: "You can finally understand grandpa. Have you worked hard?" Feng Miaoqing tasted the salty tears on her tongue and said loudly: "I said I was wrong because I didn't change my identity with you.
Because you don’t know me at all. I am Feng Yuchun’s granddaughter, Feng Miaoqing. In my life, Feng Miaoqing, I will choose the person I love myself, and no one can make the decision for me. "
When Amihan heard her words, his heart felt like he was being stabbed with blood by a sharp thorn. He thought to himself: "It turns out that this girl is still thinking about the old Han man. She doesn't understand anything I have done."
