Quick Wear: Under the Skirt, All Beings Are Equal

Chapter 177 Young General: It's getting late, and the mountains and rivers are already winter

Chang Qing suddenly stopped, stood in front of Nangong Yunran, stretched out his white jade-like hands, gently untied the black cloak he was wearing, and wrapped Nangong Yunran.

"You are not in good health, why don't you take care of yourself?"

There was a hint of blame in his words. Nangong Yunran did not even bother to blink. He just stared blankly at the young man in front of him who was smiling at him. He felt light and fluttery, without a trace of sense of security.

Just like the illusion that had appeared countless times during this period of time, he carefully reached out his hand and wiped the blood off the young man's face.

"I understand, General."

She slowly put down her hand, gently grabbed the corner of Chang Qing's clothes, and said a little aggrievedly: "Don't be angry, I have been eating well during this period."

Chang Qing was speechless as he looked at her increasingly thin body. This girl couldn't even lie properly. He just sighed softly and helped Nangong Yunran tie her cloak.

The soft hair on the thick black cloak made Nangong Yunran's small face look even smaller and her skin even paler. At this moment, her peach blossom-like lips were slightly raised.

"Okay, I'm back. I'm sorry to have made you worry during this period."

In this world, Chang Qing has the best impression of Nangong Yunran. This girl is really pitiful. Looking at the dazed person in front of him, he always feels that it would feel good to reach out and rub this little head.

But now it was ancient times, and he was a man. Even if the two of them were engaged, it would still be very bad for Nangong Yunran's reputation. This thought flashed through his mind and was suppressed by Chang Qing.

Chang Qing had all the people from Jiang State tied up and then threw the envoys out of Liangzhou.

An Qianye on the side was simply ignored.

An Qianye looked at Chang Qing, then at Nangong Yunran whose eyelashes were wet, and knew that Chang Qing didn't have time now, so he had to resign himself to dealing with the next matter.

"General Xu, please talk to the Fifth Princess." An Qianye pulled down the flag of the Jiang Kingdom on the wall of Liangzhou and replaced it with the flag of the Xu family army.

An Qianye got a headache when he thought of all those troubles. How should he deal with the people who were accompanying him to marry, and how should he deal with the affairs of Liangzhou? After all, Liangzhou had been occupied by Jiang State, and the generals who had been stationed there had long been killed. Who should he find now?

An Qianye felt that he was destined to be a hard-working person, and he could not rest wherever he went. However, he felt liberated after Chang Qing and Nangong Yunran reminisced about the past.

Besides, since I am so considerate, I believe he will not object to my marriage with his second sister.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we won't bother you anymore."

An Qianye ran away after saying this, without noticing that the Lin brothers and all the people in Xu's army were looking at him with sympathy.

Others may not know, but Xu Jiajun is clear about it. Military Advisor Chun is an obvious example. Although she is very young, she is like a resentful woman in the boudoir every day, and her resentment is heavier than that of ghosts at midnight.

Their general would definitely let go of anything if he could, and he would wish he could split one man into two to use. Even their big oxen plowing the fields are not so cruel.

Oh, it would be better if the military pay was a little less.

I heard that Military Advisor Chun had even less money than they did, but since he was from a noble family, he didn't care about these things and he often stole things from the general's house.

An Qianye felt a chill on his back and turned back in confusion. He felt that everyone was looking at him with sympathy, but he didn't know where this sympathy came from.

"Why do you look at me like this?"

Everyone in Xu's army shook their heads. They shouldn't talk nonsense. If they disturbed the reunion between the general and the fifth princess, they would be in trouble.

The others deliberately left some time alone for Chang Qing and Nangong Yunran. Seeing that the wind and snow were getting stronger, Chang Qing reached out his hand to help Nangong Yunran block the wind.

Nangong Yunran said worriedly, "If you just throw all the people from Jiang State out like this, I'm afraid those people in the capital will impeach you, and someone may even take advantage of the situation to remove your military power."

"What I despise most in my life is a group of men hiding behind and using women as marriage partners to buy temporary peace. If they want to impeach me, go ahead. If I back down, I will not be able to face the ancestors of the Xu family who have defended the country for generations after I die."

Chang Qing's eyes were extremely cold, mixed with the frost and snow from the frontier, sweeping over. This was different from the look he had in the capital, less gentle and more bloody and ruthless from fighting on the battlefield.

"The wind is strong, I'll take you back to your room." Chang Qing's tone softened slightly, and he said to Nangong Yunran with a smile.

The two of them walked down the city wall side by side, just like they did in the imperial garden in the past. Nangong Yunran also talked about what had happened during this period.

Nangong Yunran was not a talkative person, but she just liked it this way. She talked non-stop, and the people next to her listened to her with a smile in their eyes and also talked to her. Occasionally, she stopped talking, and neither of them felt awkward.

After Chang Qing sent the person back to the room, he immediately took out a memorial and wrote it to the court, saying that he would recapture the two cities and there was no need for the princess to marry.

Although asking the princess to marry a foreign prince was too despicable and weak, many princesses were unwilling to go when they heard about it. However, Nangong Yunran accepted it very calmly, took on the responsibility of a princess, and was willing to sacrifice her own efforts to ensure that the people on the border could live and work in peace and contentment.

In a sense, Xu Jinhuan and Nangong Yunran have something in common.

Chang Qing put down his pen, blew the ink off the paper, and sent it to the capital city at an express speed of eight hundred miles.

The capital was in chaos at this time. The secrets of the late queen were exposed, and a large number of people were involved. Over the past few days, the old emperor had killed many people, causing panic in the entire court.

It was because of this incident that the old emperor's health deteriorated and he even fell ill.

The prince from Wancheng also returned to the capital in a swagger and quarreled fiercely with other people. However, the news that he was in collusion with people on Longhu Mountain and raised private soldiers was exposed. He had no choice but to rebel in advance, but was suppressed.

One person worth mentioning here is King Ning.

Prince Ning was the youngest son of the late emperor and was deeply loved by him. He had many supporters among the civil and military officials at the beginning, but he took the initiative to withdraw from the struggle for imperial power and supported the old emperor. After the old emperor ascended the throne, he was very good to his younger brother at first, but seeing Prince Ning's influence among the civil and military officials, he was very wary and sent his younger brother to an extremely remote place.

Originally, Empress Shen entered the palace to replace her sister, and the person who was in love with her sister was Prince Ning. The two were going to get married in three months, but who would have thought that something bad would happen to the Shen family.

After Prince Ning heard about it, he felt that something was amiss, and fearing that something might happen on the way, he brought his troops here, only wanting to ask the old emperor to spare the Shen family for the sake of their past friendship. However, he had left his fiefdom and come to Beijing without the old emperor's summons, which was a serious crime. In addition, he was taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, who, under the pretext of clearing the court of corrupt officials, turned around and became a thief.

The old emperor was already very suspicious and extremely disgusted with witchcraft. There was no shortage of people fanning the flames, and he kept thinking that Prince Ning wanted to rebel, and that marrying the daughter of the Shen family was just an attempt to win over the Shen family and pull him off the throne.
