After the frontier army cleared the battlefield, An Ning led millions of soldiers and drove millions of holy horses to triumph.
In the city, people lined the streets to welcome him, and the atmosphere was warm, as if all the gloom of the past six months had been swept away in these few days.
When the soldiers returned to the city, An Ning issued an order to close the city gate tightly. No general was allowed to lead his troops out of the city to fight under any circumstances.
The defense method of the border city once again returned to the previous strategy, relying on the solid city to carry out defensive operations against the Wu'an army.
In this way, you can resist more with less, ensuring that the city can be defended for a longer period of time.
"Commander Zhou, this princess will let people build a large military horse base. You select some people to be responsible for the training of war horses."
An Ning arranged the affairs, then called two civil servants from the border town and gave them the task of building the base.
The two of them vowed to complete the task successfully, but they felt uneasy in their hearts. They always felt that there seemed to be some kind of edge hidden under the princess's deep eyes.
This sharpness made them feel very uncomfortable and they couldn't help but feel guilty.
These two people were the two civil servants named Zhen and Wen who had deliberately leaked the news that the Haihe clan came to propose marriage to An Ning.
"What are you doing in a daze? Go do your thing."
An Ning's expression was very dull, and the two civil servants could not analyze any information from her expression and eyes. After hearing such an order, they hurriedly lowered their heads and retreated in a hurry.
Immediately, Princess An Ning also left and walked quickly towards the city lord's palace. Behind him were several strong men who were half-step to the realm of the Overlord. They were the most trusted warriors under Prince Ning. Before going to the battlefield, they were sent here specially. To protect her.
Back at the City Lord's Mansion, An Ning didn't even have time to see Prince Ning, so she went straight to the small courtyard where Jun Wuxie lived.
"Sister Yan Ning."
She saw Xu Yanning sitting at the stone table under the locust tree in the courtyard, facing a certain house, holding her chin with one hand and staring quietly.
Xu Yanning came back to her senses when she heard the voice, turned around and saw An Ning, with a smile on her face, "Sister An Ning, come and sit."
"Sister Yan Ning, Mr. Yue..."
An Ning sat down next to her, but looked at a certain house in front of her, and hesitated to speak.
"This battle has consumed a lot of his energy and energy, and he needs time to recover. Sister An Ning, you can come back tomorrow. He should have recovered by then."
"No, my sister is waiting here for him to come out." After An Ning said this, she turned to look at Xu Yanning up close and thought to herself, Sister Yanning is really beautiful, especially her baby face, which looks like that of a fifteen or sixteen year old. Like a girl, she has the youthfulness of a girl and the charm of a mature woman.
Even as a woman, she wanted to hold her in her arms and love and care for her.
The lethality of such a woman to men can be imagined.
"Sister An Ning, why do you look at your sister like this?"
Xu Yanning was actually looking at An Ning from a close distance. She had to admit that An Ning was a very beautiful woman and fully worthy of the title of the most beautiful woman in Qingzhou.
However, she didn't feel surprised in her heart.
The beauty of tranquility should be on par with hers, but compared with the women she had seen before, there was still a gap.
Xu Yanning has seen too many beauties, and they are still so beautiful that they are breathtaking. Unparalleled splendor and overwhelming beauty are no longer enough to describe.
In the lower realm, which of the women around the king and god was not the most beautiful in the world, with the appearance of an immortal and a jade bone?
"My sister just thinks that sister Yan Ning is so pretty. No wonder Mr. Yue takes her with him wherever he goes."
Although she said this with a smile, there was an inexplicable sadness hidden in her words.
Xu Yanning smiled and sighed: "He brought his sister with him not because she is good-looking. In terms of appearance and temperament, among the women around him, my sister doesn't even have the courage to compare..."
"Ah?" An Ning's eyes flashed with curiosity, "Do Mr. Yue have many women around him? He once said that he was a prodigal son who lived all over the world. He had many confidants, but they were all separated."
Xu Yanning was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and smiled.
She knew that Junshen must have told An Ning before, and the purpose should be to keep An Ning emotionally distant from him.
But after getting along for a long time and getting to know each other better, such words cannot deceive people after all.
"Sister Yan Ning, do you think An Ning is so stupid? I would actually believe what he said?"
An Ning's eyes dimmed slightly and said: "Actually, I know what he meant by saying that. I didn't understand it at the time, but I understood it later. Now, I don't believe what he said. He is a person who values love and justice, how could he do that? If we are really separated, we will have no choice but to do this, just like when he came to Qingzhou, he couldn't help himself..."
"Speaking of it, I sometimes feel that I am quite ridiculous. Sister Yan Ning, you said that as a princess of Daqian in Qingzhou, in the eyes of the people of Qingzhou, I have status and status, and I am infatuated with many young heroes in Qingzhou. His appearance. So, I was very proud these years, until I met him, everything changed."
"I don't know when my heart began to yearn for his gentle treatment and his pity. Now that I think about it, it was just an unrealistic dream. I finally recognized myself. I know that I am not qualified to ask for extravagant things, and I have other grievances with him. Now, I just ask him to spare my father's life in the future, and I am satisfied. In the future, whatever he needs me to do, I will do my best. Help him finish..."
Xu Yanning looked at her sad expression, and there was a hint of sadness hidden in her pupils, which made her feel a little distressed.
"Sister An Ning..."
She hugged her and didn't know how to respond to her. She just said: "If you want to save Prince Ning's life, you should fight for it with real actions. To untie the bell, you must tie the bell. Where is the crux of the grudges?" Where should I start? However, you are not the person involved, so you are not the one who ties the bell, Prince Ning is."
"Thank you sister Yan Ning for reminding me. I will try my best to persuade my father. Although it will be difficult, I will not give up!"
An Ning said this. She had had this idea in her heart for a long time, but she felt that it might be difficult with her father's character.
Besides, the war in the border town has been very tense, so many ideas have to be shelved.
But now the opportunity has come. Qingyun's people are on their way, and they will soon reach the border town.
As for Qingyun's residence, she has already sent people to build it. It is located in the mountains surrounding the City Lord's Mansion, where the scenery is beautiful and the environment is quiet.
Next, they no longer talked about heavy topics, but talked about the private affairs of their daughter's family. As they talked, the two women's faces would turn red from time to time.
…
At the same time, the envoy sent by King Ning carried his intimate letter and arrived at the Wu'an army's camp hundreds of miles away from the border city canyon.
After arriving at the camp and explaining his identity and purpose of coming, King Ning's envoy felt a strong killing intent from Wu Anjun.
He was escorted to the main tent of the Chinese army.
The two Wu'an soldiers pushed him, and King Ning's envoy staggered a few steps, almost losing his balance.
He stabilized his body and looked at Ashina Zan, who was sitting directly above him with a slightly pale face and cold eyes. He raised his hands on his chest and bowed slightly to salute, "Envoy Daqian, I have seen Ashina Zan. ·Praise to the eldest prince!"
"You bastard, how dare you not kneel down when you see me, the eldest prince and commander-in-chief of Wu'an!"
A general in the tent shouted coldly, the sound was like thunder, causing King Ning's envoy to bleed from his ears.
But he kept his salute posture, as if he didn't hear it.
Ashina Zan didn't speak, but stared at King Ning's envoy with a pair of cold eyes.
In such an environment, King Ning's envoy was under tremendous pressure.
But he didn't show any fear.
"You are so brave and courageous. You actually dare to come to our Wu'an military camp!"
Ashina Zan's voice was cold, and his face looked bad and lacked color. That was because after he came back, he was so angry that his energy and blood reversed. He sprayed several mouthfuls of old blood, damaging his heart veins.
"Prince Ashina Zan is serious. When the two countries are at war, they have sent envoys to each other. This has been the case since ancient times. As the envoy of King Daqianning, I am here in accordance with the rules. Why don't you dare?"
"I don't know how to live or die! You actually dare to contradict me. Don't think that if you don't kill the envoy during the battle between the two armies, I really won't kill you! Someone, drag me down and chop you!"
Ashina Zan gave the order indifferently, and immediately two Fu Jia soldiers entered the main tent to drag away King Ning's envoy.
"Hahaha!" King Ning's envoy did not panic. Instead, he looked up to the sky and laughed. "Your Wu'an Army was completely defeated in the front-on battle. You also have no magnanimity on the battlefield. You are not as good as me on the field and off! Did King Ning ever kill him?" Are you the envoy of Wu'an? Compared with King Ning, the gap between you Ashina Zan and Prince Ning is not even a tiny bit. It is not a pity to die today. My death will make the whole Qingzhou know that you Ashina Zan is a narrow-minded person. It’s worth it!”
"Asshole!"
Ashina Zan was so angry that his chest heaved violently, he clenched his hands and changed his mind.
He gritted his teeth and let the two sergeants go out, staring at King Ning's envoy with cold eyes, his murderous intention undisguised.
"It seems that I have misunderstood. The eldest prince Ashina Zan is still a generous person after all."
King Ning's envoy said this.
"Hmph!" Although Ashina Zan knew that the other party was not sincere, he still felt a little bit benefited in his heart, "Tell me, why did Prince Ning ask you to come here?"
"King Ning has sent me as an envoy to send you a special letter. Please ask Prince Ashina Zan to read it in person!"
He took out a letter, and a general immediately came forward, walked up to Ashina Zan with the letter, and gently placed it on the desk.
Ashina Zan opened the letter and scanned it casually, but when his eyes fell on the content of the letter, there was a strange color in his eyes, and he began to read it seriously.
After he read the letter, his eyes returned to Prince Ning's envoy and sneered: "Prince Ning wants to talk about the ancient tomb and share the right to explore the ancient tomb?"
"Yes, Prince Ashina Zan, this is what King Ning means. If the prince agrees, please go to our Dagan border town in person to interview King Ning in three days."
"Humph, what if I don't agree and insist on your previous request to give up the right to explore the ancient tomb?" Ashina Zanse said with deep regret: "I still have tens of millions of troops here, and you can fight in the border city. No more than two million! In just a few days, our Wu'an army will exhaust all your forces and capture the border city!"
"Prince Ashina Zan is right. You have tens of millions of Wu'an Fujia troops and soldiers outside the border city, but our border city currently only has less than two million troops." When King Ning's envoy said this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his face was filled with emotion. It's confidence and pride: "But we have Mr. Yue! He is the patron saint of the border city. With him here, it is absolutely impossible for you to attack the border city! Besides, our reinforcements from the border city will arrive in the near future, and then the border city will be unbreakable!"
"First Prince, you should know that although the ancient tomb is now alive, no one can tell whether something will happen over time. If we continue to stalemate, we will wait until something goes wrong with the ancient tomb and it becomes impossible to enter, or it suddenly disappears. If it disappears, then you really can’t get anything. This is not a wise move. The best way at the moment is to go into the ancient tomb to explore together. Whether you can get the opportunities inside depends on your ability!"
"roll!"
Ashina Zan shouted deeply, and his voice gathered into ripples, and he rushed forward, causing King Ning's envoy to fly out of the main tent, and fell heavily to the ground, vomiting blood.
King Ning's envoy got up, looked in the direction of the main tent, showed a smile on his face, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, turned and left.
He knew that this mission was completed.
Ashina Zan's angry drink showed that he was unwilling to compromise but was helpless, so he used him as the target to vent his anger when making a decision in his heart.
