Chapter 556: Flirting with Yu Ziling
In front of the Shengjing city gate, Yan Fuyao, along with the women and ministers, reluctantly bid farewell to Shen Changgong.
"I can only be with you for half a year this time. I don't know when we will meet again."
"Don't worry, it will be quick. Those chickens and dogs in the south are vulnerable. Once I destroy them, I can stay with you forever. Then you will be annoyed with me."
"I'm bothering you now, go away quickly, and be sure to pay attention to safety."
"You too, if any of you test positive for pregnancy, please send me a pigeon message immediately. I'll be waiting for your good news in the south."
"Go away. I won't give birth to a child for you."
Shen Changgong hugged them one by one, and got on the carriage with Tu Que Ling, Gongsun Wan'er and Xiao Qiao.
"Alas, you left just like that. I don't know when we'll see each other again."
Jiang Ruoxue sighed, Ran Er, but Yan Fuyao put on a meaningful smile and whispered,
"It won't be long."
The 20,000 Changning troops must stay in Changchang, and Shen Changgong only took the 5,000 Zhennan troops away.
Shengjing also has some cavalry, probably a few thousand people. It’s not large in scale, but it’s enough to deal with some rebellions.
Because they were traveling by cavalry and horse-drawn carriages, they were able to move at a relatively fast speed and let their horses run free. It took them more than half a month to reach Linzi.
Xiao Qiao excitedly took the toys she bought in Shengjing and went to play with Xiao Ma Chao.
Shen Changgong instructed the people in the Prince of Nan's Mansion that when Xiao Qiao had enough fun and wanted to return to Mount Tai, they should send a team of people to escort her up the mountain and bring some food to the Taoist temple on the mountain.
Before leaving, Xiao Qiao was a little reluctant to leave. She hugged Shen Changgong and raised her little face and said,
"You are the good Lanling King, not the bad Lanling King. If you are free, remember to go to Mount Tai to play with Xiao Qiao. You are Xiao Qiao's good friend, and Xiao Qiao will miss you."
"Okay, I will definitely go. It's a deal."
"Pull the hook."
Xiao Qiao held up his little finger.
Shen Changgong smiled and made a pinky promise with her.
Reluctantly saying goodbye to Xiao Qiao, Shen Changgong got on the carriage and continued heading south.
Sitting in the carriage, Shen Changgong sighed.
When this little girl first saw him, she hated him very much and called him the most annoying Lanling King.
Later, people gradually changed their views and called him the less annoying Lanling King.
Later he became a pretty good Lanling King, and now he has finally become the good Lanling King.
After spending half a year together, Shen Changgong also loved this innocent and lovely child very much.
It is time to say goodbye, and I am really reluctant to do so.
He was thinking, this is someone else's child, and they are so reluctant to part with it. If it were his own child, how painful would it be to say goodbye to him?
You must be crying like a tearful person.
Gongsun Wan'er and Tu Queling were also reluctant to let her go, so they planned to buy her clothes, toys and other things when they had time in the future, and send someone to deliver them to Mount Tai.
Without Xiao Qiao in the car, Shen Changgong drove even faster this time.
It only took three days to get from Linzi to Xuzhou.
This time he traveled all over the north, and finally came back.
After returning to Xuzhou City, Shen Changgong first walked around his own government office, and then went to other places. He found that neither the King of the South nor Yu Ziling were in the city, but were in the military camp.
He gave Tu Que Ling and Gongsun Wan'er a holiday, letting them go out and play as they pleased, while he himself went to the military camp.
First, he met the King of the South at the Zhennan Army, talked to him about some things happening in the south and some strategic policies, and then went to the Yuying Army.
I didn't expect that after arriving at Yuying Army, I still hadn't seen Yu Ziling.
"Where are your commander and deputy commander? Where did they go?"
Shen Changgong asked the generals of Yuying Army somewhat unhappily.
The general immediately said,
"Your Highness, General Yu and his deputy have gone to lead the Shenji Battalion in artillery practice.
General Yu said that most of the soldiers in the Yuying Army's Shenji Battalion were new recruits, and their artillery accuracy wasn't good enough, so he took the Shenji Battalion out for a few rounds of artillery practice every month, firing a dozen or twenty shots each time before returning.
"They really should practice more to be more accurate. Where did they practice their artillery?"
"Today we are heading to Wei Army Fort No. 18, 20 miles south of here."
Hearing this, Shen Changgong's eyelids jumped and he asked,
"She took the Shenji Battalion to the Wei Kingdom's fortress to practice artillery? Using living people?"
"Yes."
"Hey, what a living devil."
Shen Changgong didn't say anything more and headed south with his guards.
After running for a few miles, they heard the booming sound of cannons. They rode their horses at full speed to the scene and saw the Shenji Battalion led by Yu Ziling aiming and firing two miles away from the fort.
There were also cavalry and infantry guarding them.
Our General Yu was sitting on his horse, observing the opposite side with a telescope to see the results of their launch.
Shen Changgong rushed over. Tu Queling heard the sound of horse hooves and turned her head with the telescope. A handsome face appeared in her telescope.
A smile appeared on Yu Ziling's lips, but she quickly put it away. She pretended not to see it and turned her head to continue watching the cannon fire.
Shen Changgong came to her side, walked alongside her, and smiled at her,
"Our General Yu seems to have so much time for leisure. I heard that you bring artillery to attack the Wei forts every month?"
Yu Ziling's beautiful face was a little darker than before, and her complexion was a healthy wheat color, which added a bit of wildness and heroic spirit. Compared with her previous image as the queen, it was a world of difference.
"Oh, who is this? It's Lanling Prince of Dayan. What brings you here?"
Yu Ziling said sarcastically.
Yang Hongying, who was standing by, saluted Shen Changgong with her hands clasped, then covered her mouth and laughed.
Shen Changgong reached out, hugged Yu Ziling's shoulders, and then kissed her little mouth directly.
"Um……"
Yu Ziling's body was unbalanced and she wanted to struggle, but she accidentally fell to the left and almost fell off the horse.
Shen Changgong simply pinched her armpits with both hands, lifted her onto his horse, and hugged her from behind.
Yu Ziling's face turned red, and she struggled and said,
"What are you doing? Let me go!"
"Hey, you're still calling yourself "Handsome" in front of me? It seems like you say it quite smoothly. I haven't seen you for half a year, and you're so sarcastic the moment you come. Are you asking for a kiss?"
"Shut up, you have no shame. So many soldiers are watching us."
Yu Ziling gritted her teeth in anger.
The surrounding soldiers burst into laughter.
Shen Changgong pointed at them with a stern face and said,
"Don't tell anyone when you get back. Don't embarrass our Marshal Yu, or I won't forgive him."
"As ordered!"
The soldiers agreed with a smile.
Marshal Yu didn't move. She knew this guy's character. The more she struggled, the more excited he became.
Shen Changgong held her waist and asked,
"Didn't you miss me during this time?"
"No, I'm so busy, training soldiers and managing military affairs. How can I have time to think about you?"
Yu Ziling snorted coldly with a straight face.
Shen Changgong whispered in her ear,
"Madam, you don't want to be spanked by me in front of so many soldiers, do you?"
