The queen cried the whole harem

Chapter 124 Lanzhou Pass Dead Point

Yan Lang listened to Yan Ning very much. Yan Ning asked him to draw a topography map, so he took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and sat aside to draw a topography map.

Qi Hengyuan glanced at Yan Ning and said, "I can't draw in such detail."

"It doesn't matter, you can draw as much as your Majesty can."

Qi Hengyuan stopped talking, and took a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and went to draw a topography map.

It takes some time for ordinary people to draw topography maps. Yan Ning left the study without disturbing the two of them. Hearing Yan Ning's order, he immediately went out again.

Yan Ning stood in front of the main room, looking at the sky outside.

Nian Die came over and asked, "Miss, is it cold? Why are you standing at the door, let's sit inside."

Yan Ning shook her head, she stretched out a hand, in the eyes of ordinary people, she just stretched out a hand, that slender white hand stopped in mid-air, nothing, but in fact, when she stretched out When the shot was made, the air had a thin change.

The cool breeze kissed her fingertips and greeted her.A leaf floated over and fell from her fingertips, also greeting her.The little bird that flew by somewhere suddenly stopped at her fingertips and also greeted her.Xiaocao was kissed by the wind and bent down, bowing to her in greeting.

Yan Ning talked to them with supernatural powers: "I teach my children with the body of a god, and I hope that when they touch supernatural powers, you will help them."

She opened her eyes and looked at the front without any change in her expression. The scene just now was not seen by the naked eye. What Nian Die could see was that her young lady stretched out her hand, and quickly retracted it.

She seemed to be a little cold, so she shook herself up, immediately tightened her cloak, and said to her, "Come in, it's really cold."

Nian Die smiled helplessly, helped her into the room, and immediately poured a cup of hot tea into her hands to warm her hands.

Yan Ning Nuan is a good hand, drank the hot water continuously, and his body warmed up.

Eunuch Wang didn't go into the study to accompany the king, he sat in the main room, saw Yan Ning's appearance, couldn't help but smiled, but didn't say anything.

Half an hour later, Qi Hengyuan called Yan Ning into the study and showed her the geographical map he had drawn.

Yan Ning glanced at it, and found that this topographical map is indeed too simple, except for a city and a few fortresses, there is nothing else.

"I just said that I can't draw a detailed topography map of Lanzhou Pass."

Although Yan Ning didn't show any disgust on her face, Qi Hengyuan felt that she was disgusted, so he explained a little unhappy.

Yan Ning looked up, looked at the king, and said with a smile: "Although your majesty's drawing is simple, it is very precise. For ordinary battles, this picture can also come in handy."

Yan Lang hasn't finished painting yet. After all, Yan Lang has lived in Lanzhou Pass since he was a child. The Lanzhou Pass in his heart is far more complicated than that of Qi Hengyuan. He is still painting.

Yanning sat next to the king and first told him his topography map.

The layout of the Nine Passes and Nine Cities is like this. Passages are set up in front and soldiers are hoarded, which is also the place where soldiers live and live.Although it is only a pass, the actual area is very large. All the soldiers live here, and some family members can follow if they want to. Therefore, even though it is a pass, it is equivalent to a city, so the locals call this place Guan land.The rear is the town, the place where ordinary people live, and it is also the place where the officers and soldiers of the Guandi want to protect.

There is a Marquis of Guan in Guandi, and a Marquis of Wu in the town.The commander of Guancheng is either the Marquis of Guan or the Marquis of Wu. Whoever has the higher military exploits will be the commander of the Guandi and the town.

Therefore, the nine passes and nine cities on the topography map are all the towns behind the front pass and the rear. Yan Ning will first talk about this one pass and one city.

"Lanzhou Pass is at the westernmost point, next to Dayang Mountain. The terrain is dangerous and ferocious beasts are rampant. Most people dare not go up, and basically don't go there, so there is no need to talk about it. To the east is Shatian and Oasis, and beyond is Changting Pass. The rear It is the land of Qi State, and the front is the border of Jiang State. The most dangerous thing is the front. Your Majesty's topography map has drawn several Jiang defense lines in front, and also added Qi State's defensive defense. From the eyes of normal people In the past, there was nothing wrong with it, but His Majesty didn't know that Lanzhou Pass had a fatal spot..."

Qi Hengyuan's eyes twitched, he thought of the defeat of Lanzhou Pass four years ago.

He stared at Yan Ning and said, "Death spot?"

There was nothing strange about the defeat of Lanzhou Pass four years ago. Unlike Sanyuan Pass, which was captured by natural dangers, the defeat of Lanzhou Pass was a real defeat.

When the two armies fought, the military flag was chopped off. Although the commander of Yan Bin did not die in battle, Yan Yun died in battle. It was later that Qi Hengyuan found out that Yan Yun fell into a tight siege to protect Yan Bin, and Qi Jianxiu listened to it. It is said that Yanyun was besieged, and he desperately went to rescue him, and finally he and Yanyun died in the battle at the border.

Although Qi Hengyuan did not go to the battlefield in person, he could imagine how bloody and cruel Lanzhou Pass was at that time.

This is just a Lanzhou Pass.

His elder brother was in command of the whole army at that time, and what a scene it was to fight against Uncle Jiang and the soldiers of the entire Jiang country.

Qi Hengyuan didn't even dare to think about it.

Thinking of those who died in battle, thinking of his emperor brother, Qi Hengyuan's eyes were stained with redness, he hoarse his voice, and asked again: "The death spot you mentioned was Lanzhou four years ago. The reason for Guan's defeat?"

"Exactly."

"What is it?"

Yan Ning lowered her eyes and did not answer, but said: "This is the lesson I want to teach you this time. When you can see through the dead spot of Lanzhou Pass, you will have a glimpse of the door. Your Majesty, Jiang Guo The next battle is not at Lanzhou Pass, you don’t have to worry that you and Yan Lang will face the danger of facing Lanzhou Pass before you get a glimpse of it, you and Yan Lang have plenty of time to study.”

Yan Lang hasn't finished drawing the topography, but he heard the conversation between Yan Ning and the king.

Yan Lang was quite surprised, and asked: "Fourth sister, is there a fatal spot in Lanzhou Pass?"

"some."

"How come I've never heard of it?"

Yan Ning was silent, and then slowly said: "I haven't heard of it, it doesn't mean I don't have it. If I say yes, then there will be. You should study hard. When you learn it, you will be able to tell at a glance whether there is a fatal spot in Lanzhou Pass. , Where is the dead spot? It is both a dead spot and a sharp blade. The side holding the butcher knife is the one holding the sharp blade, and the side that passively accepts the move must be because it is in this dead spot. Four years ago, Lanzhou Pass was defeated. , that's it."

Yan Lang's face became serious.

He stared at the topography map in front of him. Although he hadn't finished drawing it yet, he had already filled the entire Lanzhou Pass in his mind. He thought about it carefully in his mind, but he didn't feel that there was any dead spot.

And thinking of the defeat of Lanzhou Pass four years ago, he raised his head again and asked, "Since you know that Lanzhou Pass has a fatal spot, and the victory or defeat four years ago also lies in that fatal spot, why didn't Fourth Sister four years ago?" What about the second uncle and the others? If the fourth sister said it, the second uncle and the others would definitely not be defeated, then Lanzhou Pass would not be occupied by the Jiang people, and the Yan family would not be condemned and exiled. In the battle, nine passes and nine cities will not be completely defeated."

Yan Ning glanced at Yan Lang and then at Qi Hengyuan.

Qi Hengyuan didn't look at her, but stared down at the topography map he drew. No one knew what he was looking at or what he was thinking.

On the first day of entering the palace, Qi Hengyuan asked this doubt, Yan Ning answered it to Qi Hengyuan, and now he repeated it to Yan Lang.

Yan Ning was in poor health when he was young, Yan Lang knew about it, and Yan Ning was indeed sent away half a year before Qi Guo attacked Jiang Guo with all his strength, Yan Lang also knew about it, because Yan Ning could not practice martial arts, in order to pass the time, she You can only read books, this Yan Lang also knows.

Yan Ning reads a lot of books, all kinds, including astronomy and geography, and Yan Lang secretly read Yan Ning's books.

Therefore, Yan Lang has no doubts about Yan Ning's explanation.

Yan Lang said: "Speaking of which, fourth sister, you have read books for many years, and you have always just used them as fun to pass the boring time. It was not until Lanzhou Pass was defeated and third brother died in battle that you suddenly realized that these things are useful. Only then did you gradually realize the way to use it?"

He glanced at Qi Hengyuan, but didn't dare to say anything later.

The following words are: "So fourth sister, you have tried thousands of times to enter the palace and set off with His Majesty to test whether your knowledge is correct or not. Now it should be proved that what you have learned is very useful. Teach me, and let me master this kind of knowledge, so that I can go to the battlefield in the future and be able to win every battle, right?"

These words are suspected of treason, which means that Yan Ning is using the king, Yan Lang dare not say it.

Yan Lang understood it in his heart, so he no longer doubted it.

Seeing that Yan Lang believed it, Yan Ning also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that no one believes in such a thing as resurrection from a dead body, but it will make people panic if it is said.

If Yan Lang knew that his fourth sister was actually dead, and the indirect executioner who killed his fourth sister was actually her, and what's more, she was also the executioner who caused Yan Yun to die in battle, and Lanzhou Pass was defeated. would kill her.

Not to mention Yan Lang, if Qi Hengyuan knew that she was not Yan Ning but Mu Huajuan, he might have killed her on the spot.

Fortunately, both of them believed her nonsense.

Yan Ning hummed: "That's right."

Yan Lang said: "I understand, it is the grief that has inspired the potential of the fourth sister."

He paused, and then said: "Although the third brother died in battle, I believe that with the current ability of the fourth sister, it will not be difficult to avenge the third brother."

He raised his head and swore: "Fourth sister, don't worry, I will definitely learn this skill well. One day, I will take back Lanzhou Pass with my own hands and avenge my third brother."

Yan Ning smiled gratifiedly, raised her head and stroked the top of Yan Lang's head, and said lightly: "Fourth Sister believes in you, you will definitely succeed."

Yan Lang hummed, bowed his head and continued to draw topographical maps.

Qi Hengyuan suddenly raised his head, glanced at Yan Ning, closed the map in his hand, and left the study with it.

Yan Ning paused, and then walked out of the study.

After Qi Hengyuan came out, the prince stood up immediately, Qi Hengyuan handed him the topography map in his hand, and the prince reached out to take it.

Qi Hengyuan said: "Go back to the palace."

These two words were very unexpected, the prince gave a surprised cry, and asked quickly: "Your Majesty, you mean, go back to the palace?"

Qi Hengyuan said coldly: "Yes."

The prince is incredible, His Majesty only returns to the palace after the Lantern Festival every year, why did he return to the palace so soon this year?
Wang Gonggong went to see Yanning, thinking that just now in the study, Yanmei made His Majesty angry?

Seeing the prince looking at him, Yan Ning shrugged his shoulders with a sigh, and said with his eyes: "It's none of my business."

Wang Gonggong had no way to get useful information from Yan Ning, so he had to follow him out quickly.

Yan Ning also didn't understand why the king was going back to the palace all of a sudden, could it have something to do with what she said about Lanzhou Pass?
Yan Ning didn't care whether the king would return to the palace or not. What she cared about was, if the king returned to the palace, would she still be able to stay?

Yan Ning chased after him and shouted, "Your Majesty."

Qi Hengyuan turned around and said calmly: "You don't have to go back to the palace, I said earlier that after the Lantern Festival, I will see you in the palace."

The implication is that you can stay until after the Lantern Festival.

Yan Ning smiled, but before he could speak, Qi Hengyuan had already turned around and stepped on the Yuzhu with light kung fu.

Yan Ning: "..."

The prince also got on Yuchao, and hurried Yuchao out of the door.

Nian Die ran to open the door.

Yan Ning followed him all the way to see him off, and after sending Yu Huan out of the door, she bowed her body and said: "I will send Your Majesty back to the palace."

Originally, Yan Ning thought that the king would not talk to her, but she didn't want to. Through the closed window sash, the king's cold voice came out: "Yan Ning."

Yan Ning bowed her head and responded, "I'm here."

"You said that the next battle will not be at Lanzhou Pass, so where is it?"

"I don't know."

Qi Hengyuan had heard these three words from the Empress Dowager, at the time he thought she was perfunctory to the Empress Dowager, but now it seems that she really doesn't know.

"If you don't know, how can you win?"

In the first three battles, the first Bobei Pass was taken by surprise, the second Sanyuan Pass, and the third Changting Pass. Yanning played a key role. She used her so-called astronomical knowledge to defeat Jiang Guo. Lost ground was regained.

It can also be said that it was she who had the initiative and the opportunity to win the two battles.

What if there is no opportunity and no initiative?
Yan Ning lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "It's still the same sentence, please believe me, my concubine said that it will make your majesty happy all the time, then you will not let your majesty down. Passive confrontation will always be the one that wins in the end, please rest assured, Your Majesty, take good care of the dragon body, and wait for the fourth battle next year."

The closed window sash was opened, and Qi Hengyuan glanced sideways.

The daytime sky has just opened a clear day, there is no sunshine today, the weather can't be said to be gloomy, but it can't be called good either. The cold wind sometimes blows and sometimes falls, sweeping from the woman's hair, swaying arcs, her With his head down, he maintained a posture of blessing his body and saluting.

Thin and thin, even wearing a cloak, it looks weak.

But Qi Hengyuan knew that such a weak woman supported his world.

Qi Hengyuan suddenly said: "Miss Yan, come here."

Yan Ning paused, straightened up, and walked towards Yu Tuo.

Qi Hengyuan took out a hairpin from his sleeve pocket and pinned it in her bun. After that, he withdrew his hand, glanced at Yan Ning, and said, "In the whole world, only you are the most suitable for it."

After that, he closed the window sash and said to the prince, "Let's go."

Yu Huo immediately started to move and drove towards the main road ahead.

Yan Ning was a little dazed, and when Yu Chuan left, she realized that she immediately raised her hand and touched the hairpin, but still couldn't hold back, she took off the hairpin and took a look.

It turned out to be a red jade hairpin, a very eye-catching color, but the style is extremely simple, without any gold decorations or carvings. What's even more peculiar is that it is warm when you touch it, and when the temperature warms up, the red color becomes lighter until it turns white. , and then a bright red plum blossom bloomed out of the hairpin, as if competing for beauty in the snow, proudly never withering.

The seemingly ordinary hairpin actually has a lot to offer.

She thought of the words the king said after giving her the hairpin - in all the world, only you are the most suitable for it.

Clearly meant.

Yan Ning sighed, if you give her a gift, give her a gift, why do you make people panic.

Yan Ning put the hairpin back into the bun again, turned and entered the room.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Nian Die smiling very sadly.

Yan Ning rolled her eyes, looked at Nian Die and said, "What are you smirking at?"

Nian Die stepped forward to hold her hand, said with a smile: "This servant is happy for Miss!"

Yan Ning glanced sideways at Nian Die, who was still happy, and thought, you only saw the king giving me something, but you didn't understand the meaning of the king's gift.

This is really not something to be happy about.

Yan Ning didn't explain to Nian Die, just said: "You can be happy, anyway, no matter how His Majesty treats me, I still say the same thing, I wish you peace and don't fight for Junhuan."

Why did she help His Majesty Qi defeat Jiang?
One is for revenge, and the other is really for peace of mind.

If she drank that glass of poisoned wine, she would have died straight away.

But she woke up suddenly again, if she woke up on someone in Jiang country, it would be fine, but unfortunately, she woke up in Qi country, or woke up on Yan Ning's body.

How can this make her feel at ease?
She called her parents every day, and her brother and brother called, but she didn't know how her heart was being lingering.

The only thing she can do is to let the Yan family return to the battlefield and take back Lanzhou Pass with her own hands. In this way, she can comfort the souls of Yan Yun and so many soldiers who died fighting for Lanzhou Pass.

That's what she meant when she said she wished to be safe.

But apart from her, there is probably no second person who can really understand the meaning of this sentence.

That's all.

Nian Die said: "If Your Majesty likes Miss, Miss can compete for His Majesty's heart, after all..."

"How much do you think His Majesty's love for me is true?"

"This one……"

"If I am useless, will His Majesty still treat me so well?"

"This one……"

"Nian Die, we can be ordinary or powerless, but we can't try to get something that doesn't belong to us. Once a person wants to go against the sky, he will be punished by the sky."

"..." Do you want to say it so scary!The servant girl just wants the lady to compete for favor.

Nian Die sighed: "Miss, don't scare the servant, the servant is timid, it's fine if the lady doesn't want to compete for favor, the servant just said that."

"I don't need to say such things next time. I have to let someone who cares listen to me. I think I really want to fight for favor. Now that Chen Yurong doesn't like me, I can handle it. After all, His Majesty doesn't like her, but if I am stared at by Yang Qianyue Come on, do you think His Majesty will protect me or Yang Qianyue?"
