Chapter 13 Volume 2 Border Northern Border
Since the beginning of the world, the borders of Liang, Wei, and Chu have been connected due to the terrain.
Northern Xinjiang is under the territory of Daliang, and there is Hulao Pass, which is the checkpoint for traveling out of the Central Plains and entering the Human in the west.It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is known as "the key pass of Liaoyan, the throat of six towns, and the key of Liangbei town".
Hulaoguan is surrounded by high mountains and narrow roads, deep valleys and steep cliffs, continuous peaks, and a long and narrow path through the middle.
It has the Huai Ridge in the north, across the Shuoshui River and looks directly at the Kemeng Grassland in Wei State.There is Honggu in the east, and across the desert, you can see the defense line of Heimu River in Chu State.
It can be described as a decisive fortress, but also an extremely dangerous place.
If Hulaoguan is lost, the resistance of the six towns on the border will be greatly weakened, and Liaozhou and Yanzhou may be captured. Once Liaoyan is defeated, there will be no obstacles to sending troops south, and even Liangdu Wangcheng will be in jeopardy.This is why the monarch Ying Congyu attaches so much importance to every move of Beijiang.
Now the state of Chu is in turmoil, and frequent conquests are launched in the desert, and Hu Man is waiting for the opportunity to cause chaos.Liang Guo had to prepare for the worst, that is, Chu State had the idea of provoking war.
The generals of the six towns and the generals of the two prefectures are on call at any time, strictly guarding the Hulao Pass, and guarding the entire frontline of northern Xinjiang.
There was a tense atmosphere in the hall for a while, and everyone was affected by the border incident.Many ministers proposed to make friends with Wei State and jointly defend Chu State.Otherwise, if the Chu State seized the opportunity, the consequences would be disastrous.
However, some voices of opposition jumped out - at this moment, Chu State was only taking action in the desert. If Daliang messed up his position first and gathered neighboring countries, it might give Chu State an excuse to go to war.
The two sides held different opinions, and neither of them accepted the other. Ying Congyu Longyan was furious, scolded them, and retreated with an unhappy expression.
"Look," Ying Lan said slowly, "these people are getting scared." He smiled casually, but his eyes were dim.
This sound, like this, gradually drifted away with a piece of broken leaves falling into the pond in front of me.
Above the small bridge and flowing water, among the ancient trees and strange rocks, the garden is full of green grass and peach blossoms, which are dazzling and eye-catching.
Yingcheng's phoenix eyes were slightly closed, the smoked wind passed by, his black hair brushed against the railing, and his clothes fluttered gently.
Luo Qingyao looked at a goldfish swimming happily, propped his chin on one hand and said, "When will your side-lord leave?"
Breathing slowly, Ying Cheng frowned and remained silent.Picking up the wine glass on the stone platform, he drank it all and said, "Two days later."
"So that's why you've been absent-minded these days?"
"Do I have it?" Yingcheng laughed.
"Don't you?" Luo Qingyao retorted.
With his knuckles touching his forehead, he suddenly realized that his head was in a mess, and his heart couldn't settle down no matter what.Yingcheng responded in a low voice, then compromised, "Okay, I admit it."
Reluctance, hesitation, and struggle, these three emotions made him suffer.Life is short, good and bad are unpredictable, ridiculous quarrels and hurtful indifference, Yingcheng doesn't want any more.
When he reached Lanxi Pavilion, he stopped for a long time.
It was dark now, but the light in the room made Yingcheng feel at ease.
Mutang didn't know when he came to his side, he said timidly, "My lord."
Only then did Yingcheng come back to his senses, as if talking to himself, he asked, "What are you doing?"
Before anyone could speak, he waved his hand casually to stop the other party, "You go down first."
Mu Tang took a sneak peek at Ying Cheng before exiting the yard in response.
After climbing up the bluestone steps, Yingcheng knocked lightly on the door, then pushed the door open and walked in.
Ji Changxi sat on the side of the bed and turned to look at Yingcheng.
He was only wearing a moon white tunic at the moment, and his black hair was not tied up, it was loose and gathered to one side.The slender neck has a provocative beauty under the shadow of the lamp.
The atmosphere was too quiet, and the man didn't speak, so Yingcheng coughed and said, "I just happened to come here."
No one would believe this, but Ji Changxi didn't mind, she just asked, "Is the prince not angry anymore?"
Feeling uneasy, Ying Cheng sat down on the chair in front of him, "Aren't you angry with me?"
"I just thought the prince didn't want to see me." Ji Changxi remained calm, "You would rather misunderstand than listen to my explanation."
Ying Cheng moved his lips, lowered his eyes, and said, "Sorry."
After a long silence, Ji Changxi sighed slightly, "My lord did nothing wrong..."
His tone was always without any emotion. Yingcheng felt that this person was a little abnormal tonight. He raised his head to look at the other person, only to find that he was also looking at him. Their eyes intertwined, and neither of them moved away first.
"Actually, the person who came to see me that day," Ji Changxi explained, "is the doctor next to my eldest brother, but he has been in Ji's family since he was a child, and grew up with us, like a brother."
It turned out to be like this... Yingcheng thought, no wonder he never knew there was such a person in the Ji family.As a result, I felt that the behavior of that day was a bit dumbfounding.
I only heard Ji Changxi continue to say, "You and I mentioned...about Mr. Wushuang, I also want to apologize to you."
"You are the prince..." He spoke slowly, as if he had finally convinced himself, "You should bring in the person you like. It was me...wrong."
The last few words sounded like an illusion, but Yingcheng suddenly had a bad feeling - if he just let the person in front of him let him pretend quietly today, and finally built a solid wall, Then you may be exiled outside the high wall forever.
This realization shocked Yingcheng. He knew that Ji Changxi was always decisive in his actions, but he didn't know whether the other party would be so decisive in controlling his emotions.Yingcheng was a little anxious, but also a little uneasy, after all...it was not easy for him to get used to this time and space because of Ji Changxi...
It cannot end like this.
Thinking like this, he tried to calm down his heart.
Walking slowly in front of that person, Ying Cheng stretched out his hand to caress the side of his face, "Chang Xi, are you disappointed in me?"
Ji Changxi's posture remained the same, but the emotions in her eyes were complicated, as if she was resisting something.
Yingcheng could see that the other party was trying to overcome those surging emotions.
However, he didn't want Ji Changxi to get what he wanted, this moment was critical, he had to make him more confused.
"Chang Xi..." Ying Cheng leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Don't be disappointed in me, I only have you." In this time and space, you are already my closest person.
"Stop talking..." Ji Changxi felt uncomfortable at first, he was serious about everything, and naturally his feelings for Ying Cheng were also the same.But he was really disappointed. Although he knew that Yingcheng could not be blamed, he didn't want to get himself into too deep, and there was still time to get out.From now on, he will behave himself, don't think about anything, and only fulfill his status as a side king.
However, Ying Cheng's words shook his already unsteady heart even more. He wanted to push the other party away, but instead, the man grabbed his wrist and pressed him on the bed.
Yingcheng knew that his method had worked.
Ji Changxi's flexible and warm body is currently trapped in the soft quilt, and the neckline has slipped to his shoulders due to the action just now. His neck line is very beautiful, and his long hair is scattered like a light ink landscape.
It's so beautiful that it's heart-pounding.
Kissing him lightly on the cheek, Ying Cheng put his arms around Ji Changxi's waist, "I could have done that, but I never have."
Ji Changxi looked at him, and Yingcheng didn't dodge either.
"Chang Xi." His voice was very gentle, "You are already unmatched in my heart."
"My lord is really...a good trick," Ji Changxi clenched her teeth, knowing that this person did it on purpose, but she was helpless.The unformed line of defense collapsed just because of one sentence, he was very unwilling, "Do you think this can tie me down?"
"I never thought about it that way," Ying Cheng said with a smile in her phoenix eyes, "but I know, you will remember this sentence." Because you clearly have the same feelings for me.
No one speaks anymore.
Until the body was hugged tightly, Ying Cheng also hugged the person under him, the corners of his lips slowly raised a slight arc on the side of Ji Changxi's neck: Yes, that's good...
They reconciled.
Yingcheng knew that his methods were not up to the mark, but even if it was psychological warfare, the opponent had to be willing to take the bait.He didn't lie, Ji Changxi was the first person he married in two lifetimes, and he was also the one who accompanied him day and night for more than a year.
I don't know if I can go back to that time and space.When Yingcheng wakes up in the middle of the night, he will feel confused for a moment - in fact, he shouldn't have too much concern here, but he feels very lonely.
Day after day, year after year, I don't know the way forward, and my heart has nothing to rely on.
It was an accident to be with Ji Changxi, but Yingcheng thought that the other party was also his life-saving straw.
Once he got it, he didn't want to let it go.
Two days always passed quickly, and it was the day when Ji Changxi went north to the border in a blink of an eye.
Because the [-] elite soldiers of the Ji Family Army and Old General Ji are now distributed in Liaozhou and Hulao Pass, Ji Changxi will go to northern Xinjiang alone this time.
When Yingcheng came outside the mansion, the man was wearing light clothes and was saying goodbye to other people in the mansion. After seeing Yingcheng, he smiled silently.
When everyone saw their lord approaching, they gave way one after another, unswervingly creating opportunities for the two of them.
Yingcheng lamented that Ning Xiang taught well on weekdays, and when he walked up to Ji Changxi, before he could speak, the other party took the lead.
"I know what you want to say." Ji Changxi comforted, "I will be careful. It's you, take good care of yourself."
"You must be very familiar with the road to northern Xinjiang," Ying Cheng held his hand, "but I'm not at ease after all."
There was a smile in his eyes, and then, Yingcheng tilted his head and ordered solemnly, "You guys, turn back for me."
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then turned around quickly, with their backs to Yingcheng and Ji Changxi.
"What's the matter?" Ji Changxi wondered what this person was up to.
"What do you think?" Ying Cheng blinked at him, then suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Ji Changxi's arm, and kissed him casually on the lips.
His face turned red almost immediately, Ji Changxi glared at Yingcheng: This man really likes to play tricks.Unconsciously, he glanced at the group of people standing with their backs in unison. They were as straight as wooden stakes. He couldn't help but want to laugh again. He hugged Ying Cheng lightly, and said in a low voice, "Okay, I'll really have to go."
"In a while," Ying Cheng still held his hand, "wait for Ning Xiang to come."
Thinking that this person might be saying goodbye to Ning Xiang, he hummed.
Soon, Ning Xiang walked over here leading two horses with some simple luggage on their backs.
The people around didn't seem to think anything was wrong, and greeted Ning Xiang as usual after seeing Ning Xiang.
Ji Changxi asked Ying Cheng, "What's going on, where is Ning Xiang going?"
"It's not just Ning Xiang," Ying Cheng took the reins, his phoenix eyes slightly smiling, "and me."
Ji Changxi widened her eyes slightly, and asked uncertainly, "You?"
"Yes," Ying Cheng got on his horse, smiling brightly like spring, "I want to go to northern Xinjiang with you."
