Chapter 250 Suizheng
Ning Erlan sat at the desk and looked at the secret order on the yellow silk cloth, frowning deeply.Tomorrow, tomorrow is the day when Wei Lingxiao goes out for an expedition, but she never expected that she would receive this mysterious secret order to her the day before his expedition.It was sent by the eunuch next to Emperor Zhaowu.

Xinyue opened the curtain and walked in with a hot soup. Since she went out just now, the princess has been sitting there without moving, and it has been almost an hour.

"Princess, the prince hasn't come back yet, you should have a bowl of hot soup first."

Hearing this, Ning Erlan gradually withdrew her thoughts.He put away the silk cloth in his hand and came to sit down at the table, but he didn't have any appetite, so he just took a few sips and put it down.

"Withdraw, I have no appetite."

In the palace, Wei Lingxiao was called to the imperial study by Emperor Zhaowu after the morning court.

Emperor Zhaowu in a bright yellow dragon robe sat in front of the dragon table and looked at the report from the west, while Wei Lingxiao in an official robe stood in the room without making a sound, waiting for Emperor Zhaowu to speak.

Soon, Emperor Zhaowu put down the folder in his hand.

"The traitor King Mingzhao holds 20 elite soldiers! The imperial court has not noticed any movement in these years! How many useless wastes have I raised in these years!" Emperor Zhaowu looked calm and calm, but his eyes were deep. His dark eyes had already revealed the hostility in him.

Wei Lingxiao lowered his eyes and remained silent.

After venting his anger, Emperor Zhaowu seemed to feel a little more comfortable in his heart, and his mood gradually stabilized. "I believe that Princess Ling has received my secret order."

Hearing this, Wei Lingxiao frowned slightly.He hadn't heard of it.But still calm and did not speak first.

Emperor Zhaowu looked at Wei Lingxiao with eagle eyes, as if he wanted to see through his true thoughts, but he half-closed his eyes and didn't give him a chance to see. "Don't you wonder what secret order I issued?"

"Please make it clear, Father."

"Tomorrow you are going to go to war, and I want her to accompany you."

Wei Lingxiao's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help clenching his hands in his sleeves, but his face was still calm. "The princess is just a girl, I don't know what my father wants her to do."

"Although she is a woman, her medical skills are obvious to all. The distance to the west is only a few miles from Miaojiang. I am afraid that those rebels will learn those insidious techniques, so let her accompany you to take care of me so I can rest assured. " Emperor Zhaowu raised his hand indifferently, with a firm expression on his face, as if he would not change his decision for any reason.

"Marching with family members, if people find out, I'm afraid it will disturb the morale of the army." Marching and fighting with women, it's hard to tell if people know about it. Whether it is for fighting or enjoying, it will inevitably make people feel dissatisfied.Although he had concerns in this regard, Wei Lingxiao was really worried about Emperor Zhaowu's decision.The march was difficult and full of dangers, how could he let Ning Erlan suffer along with him and put her in danger?

"Hey, this is my secret order. No one will know about it. After you leave, it will be claimed that Princess Ling is ill and sees no guests. Well, we will go to war tomorrow, so you go back and pack your bags. Go." Emperor Zhaowu picked up the carved porcelain cup beside him, lowered his head and took a sip of hot tea slowly, and stopped talking.

There was a cold light in Wei Lingxiao's eyes, and instead of leaving immediately, he ran and knelt down. "Father, please take it back."

Emperor Zhaowu frowned unhappily, and a strong hostility flashed across his face. "What do you mean? Do you want to disobey my order? I just asked her to follow you and contribute at a critical time. What are you dissatisfied with! And it's not like there were no such things in the previous dynasty. She can do something for the country. Contribution, this is her glory." Emperor Zhaowu was talking about a female man who marched with the general's husband in the previous dynasty. According to historical records, once the barracks was attacked, the general was in danger but was saved by his wife. , and then joined the reinforcements to repel the enemy.

This incident has become a good story handed down.It can be seen that the folk customs of the Great Qin Kingdom are relatively open.

Emperor Zhaowu looked at Wei Lingxiao who was still kneeling and didn't understand, and sighed helplessly: "Actually, I also know that the two of you have a good relationship, and you don't want her to take risks. It's not impossible to ask her not to follow." Method……"

"Father, please make it clear." Wei Lingxiao's eyes became colder.

Emperor Zhaowu coughed lightly and continued: "You also know the current situation. If you want to transfer troops from other places, you will lose sight of the other. The [-] guards in Bianjing cannot be moved, and the soldiers that can be used are only yours. It's available... If you hand over your military power, this time I will send someone to go for you."

With his head down, Wei Lingxiao covered up the sneer on his lips. "Serving the Great Qin is the subject's accusation. How can the subject back down as the son of the emperor?"

Hearing this, a ruthless light flashed in Emperor Zhaowu's eyes, but he quickly covered it up.How could it be so simple to ask Wei Lingxiao to hand over his military power first? "Okay, let the second son of General Fuguo go with you this time. As for Princess Ling, let her mix with the military doctors."

"My son obeys the order."

"Back off." Emperor Zhaowu had already picked up the booklet on the table and began to read it.

In Prince Ling's mansion, Ning Erlan was flipping through the map of Daqin, when a maid outside the door notified Wei Lingxiao that he was back.He closed the book in his hand, stood up and greeted him.

The government on Wei Lingxiao's body did not change, and his handsome face was filled with a coldness of not disturbing strangers.

"came back?"

Realizing that he had returned to the palace, the expression on that beloved face slowed down.

Ning Erlan knew that he had something to say to herself, so she told Xinyue and the others to back down.They changed into regular clothes for him again before they sat down.

"You have received the imperial father's secret order." This is not a question, but an affirmative statement.

Ning Erlan smiled helplessly and nodded. "I received it, and said that I want to go with you tomorrow."

Wei Lingxiao saw that a strand of her hair fell mischievously to her cheek, so she reached out and tucked it behind her head. "What do you think?"

Ning Erlan held his hand and leaned on his shoulder, feeling that she was in a happy mood right now. "It's a little unexpected, but I'm happy because I can be with you." She thought she was going to be separated, but she didn't expect Emperor Zhaowu to do this. No matter what, she was actually willing to go with Wei Lingxiao from the bottom of her heart of.

Wei Lingxiao looked at her drooping eyelashes and gently kissed them.He found himself liking kissing her more and more, it was a wonderful and incomparable feeling.

"I don't want to be separated from you, but this journey will be very dangerous, and I don't want you to take risks with me."

Ning Erlan hugged him. "What's the condition for me not to go?"

Hearing this, Wei Lingxiao felt a little helpless towards this clever wife.She didn't expect her to think of this level so quickly. "Hand over the military power."

"That's it. Those soldiers have been with you for so many years. If you send someone to replace you temporarily, I'm afraid they won't allow it. And the war in the west is tight, so you can't delay." It's like I have worked hard for many years to bring up My child will be given away in a blink of an eye, and no one will be willing to change it.

"You don't blame me? You don't think I'm greedy for power?" Wei Lingxiao felt warmed by her understanding, fearing that not many people would think about this issue from his perspective.They just think he's greedy for power.

"How come? Power is often a person's life-saving talisman. How can I blame you for not handing over the life-saving talisman if I cherish life so much?" Power is a double-edged sword. Take a sharp weapon that can easily stab yourself.But no matter what he decides, she will be by his side.

"I'll find a way to get you to stay." He didn't want to take risks with her.

"I want to go with you. No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, I hope to be by your side." Ning Erlan held his face in her hands, and looked at him with clear and firm eyes, refusing to comment.

Wei Lingxiao sighed helplessly, in fact, he was worried about leaving her alone in Bianjing. "Lan'er..."

"kindness."

"I don't allow you to leave me. Whether it's now or in the future, we have to be together." Wei Lingxiao hugged the person in his arms tightly, as if worried that she would disappear in a second.

"Well, as long as you don't do anything to hurt me, I will always be with you."

At this moment, Ning Erlan felt that she was the happiest person in the world.

But perhaps in Wei Lingxiao's heart, the happiest person is him.

Wei Lingxiao got up early the next morning, put on the cold armor, and he had to enter the palace.

This trip with the conscript can be said to be a state secret, but Xinyue and Xinchen are the most caring maids around her, and it is impossible for them not to know.So Ning Erlan chose to tell them the truth.

"Princess, servant girl will accompany you." Xinchen jumped up immediately after hearing this.

Xinyue was also full of worry.

Ning Erlan shook her head slowly. "This is the emperor's secret decree. If you leave with me, it will attract the attention of others."

"But marching and fighting are so dangerous, princess..."

Looking at the worried two, Ning Erlan's heart warmed up, she didn't love them for nothing. "Don't worry, the prince knows about this matter, and he will secretly send someone to protect me. At that time, the 'Prince Concubine' will come to the palace, and you can go on as usual."

The two of them knew that there were some things that slaves like them could not talk about, and even though they were worried, they couldn't say anything. "Yes, this servant will definitely not disappoint the princess."

"En. In order to change my dress, I'm going to the city gate to see the prince off."

"Yes."

The people of Bianjing knew that King Ling was going to the west to pacify the rebels, and some people walked out of their gates early to watch the excitement on the street.

After the audience in the palace, Wei Lingxiao rode on the horse, and the silver-white armor on his body had a golden halo under the sunlight.His handsome face exudes a chilling aura, making people daunting.

The casual army behind him is only a few thousand people, and the real large army is outside the city.Two days ago, the grain and grass had already set off.Because time is really short, the time for food and grass to go first is not long.Fortunately, Daqin has a bumper harvest this year, so it can collect so much grain and grass in a short period of time.
