Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 316 Attacking and defending the city
Gongsun Lan widened her eyes when she heard the words, and looked at Shen Xinniang silently, "Is it still possible to understand things like this?"

Danxin Jinxiang held back a laugh.

"I didn't get married to fight. It doesn't matter to me whether he is tough or not? I... Sigh!" She held her forehead and wrinkled her small face.

"Let's just think about it now, the matter is not a foregone conclusion." Shen Xinniang comforted her.

Gongsun Lan was obedient and listened to the sound, and she was overjoyed immediately. She turned over and sat down, staring at Shen Xinniang, "It's not a foregone conclusion, what do you mean? That is to say, it doesn't mean that if he wins this matter, I must marry?"

Shen Xinniang glanced at her, raised her hand and put her index finger to her lips, and hissed, "I didn't say anything."

Gongsun Lan's eyes immediately burst into brilliance, almost jumping up from the couch in excitement, "I knew it, I knew Xinniang would have a solution! I knew I wouldn't be so unlucky! Hehe, it really is, It was indeed right to come to Xinniang, my brother only knows how to scold me! He can't help you with anything!"

"That's not true, what the result is, General Gongsun is the most important person!" Shen Xinniang sipped her jujube tea and said slowly.

Now it's just a way to delay, to delay Cai Xiang and his gang, and give Yu Miao a chance to survive.As for whether the marriage will be successful or not, there will always be variables in the future. Yu Miao's character is not bad, and her appearance is very good. Maybe Gongsun Lan will not be so repulsive in the future. Wouldn't it be a good relationship?

After comforting Gongsun Lan, Shen Xiniang didn't say any more, she just reminded her that this must never be mentioned in front of Gongsun Ling.

Gongsun Lan hurriedly responded, "I'm not stupid, it's serious to make him worry, fight with all his strength, and strive to win beautifully!"

When the sand table offensive and defensive battle begins.

Both Shen Xinniang and Gongsun Lan were invited into the palace.During this period of time, Shen Xinniang would be taken into the palace almost every day. Most of the palace people knew that the current Princess Qi was not the queen mother, but she was better than the queen mother.The Empress Dowager was confined in the Longfu Palace, and the Holy Majesty hardly visited her.Lady Shen has been trusted by the Holy Majesty day by day, so the palace people are naturally extremely respectful to Shen Xiniang.

Gongsun Lan followed her and waited in the side hall. Although she was not as distressed as before, she was still restless.

At this time, the main hall was even more tense.

A huge sand table, simulating the terrain of the northwest frontier, with Daliang army on one side and Turkic people on the other.The two sides confront each other, and the atmosphere is dignified.

In addition to Gongsun Ling who was confronting each other, and Yu Miao who had just been released from the prison, the lineup of spectators was even stronger.

Although the Holy Majesty was young, he stared very seriously.

Beside the little emperor stood King Qi and Emperor Lu Chun, and Lu Chun stood next to Prime Minister Cai, holding his breath and stroking his flowing beard, watching the battle situation closely.

King Qi stepped forward and stood up a sturdy, over-year-old man with thick eyebrows and beard.

The masculinity is extraordinary, his back is straight, and his aura is very similar to the two generals who are confronting each other.It's just a little unfamiliar, and it's not common to everyone present.

"What does General Xie think of these two people?" The little emperor couldn't help asking.

The man who was not confused touched his beard, smiled and said modestly: "Let's see, it's too early to say whether it will be successful or not."

The little emperor snorted and didn't ask any more questions.

In the side hall, Gongsun Lan couldn't sit still, so she simply got up from the couch and paced back and forth on the richly patterned carpet in the hall.

"Miss Gongsun drank some tea, the servant girl went to inquire, and said that the results could not be compared in a while!" Dan Xin said while holding the tea bowl.

Gongsun Lan waved her hand and frowned, "How can I drink tea? Let it go! Why hasn't there been any news?"

"Your Majesty, King Qi, Mr. Lu, and Prime Minister Cai are all watching inside. I heard that for today's sand table battle, even General Xie, who lives in seclusion and is very low-key, was specially invited here. There are so many people sitting in the town, so the news is natural. It can't be passed on!" Jin Xiang said beside Shen Xinniang.

"You don't need to be in a hurry, what the result will be, whether you are in a hurry or not, nothing will change." Shen Xinniang said slowly.

Gongsun Lan turned her face, glanced at Shen Xinniang with a calm expression, pouted and said, "If what is at stake here is not my marriage, but Si Niangzi's, would you say the same, Xinniang?"

This sentence sounded a bit coquettish and complaining.

Both Jin Xiang and Dan Xin couldn't help being slightly taken aback.But Shen Xinniang nodded and said: "If Si Niang, I would say the same."

Gongsun Lan pouted, and then smiled lightly, "So I'm just like my own sister in Xinniang's heart?"

Shen Xinniang looked up at her, thought for a moment, then nodded seriously, "Yes."

Gongsun Lan immediately became happy again, "With your words, I feel at ease. You must do everything you can to protect your sister!"

Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes and nodded slowly, as if making a promise.

During Gongsun Lan's life like years, there was a sound from the main hall, as if the door of the hall opened and someone came out from inside.

Gongsun Lan immediately jumped up and walked to the outside of the side hall. She couldn't wait to know the answer immediately, but she saw the little emperor walking towards her with her hands behind her back.

The little emperor's walking posture and demeanor are quite adult-like, but his face is still immature, and his stature has not grown. With the adult appearance on him, he looks a little childish and cute.

Gongsun Lan hurriedly stepped aside and saluted. Although she was very anxious and wished to ask about the result immediately, there was no room for slack in her movements and posture.

The little emperor didn't know whether it was intentional or not, he stopped beside her, looked up at her and said: "Miss Gongsun, I thought of such a good way to choose a son-in-law for you, are you very grateful to me?"

"It's not that I can't get married..." Gongsun Lan muttered in a low voice.

"Huh? What did you say? I didn't hear clearly." The little emperor asked with raised eyebrows.

"My little girl said yes, thank you for your kindness!" Gongsun Lan gritted her teeth.

The little emperor seemed very complacent, and nodded with a smile on his face, "It is enough to know that I am grateful in my heart, and I also think it is really a beautiful thing that kills two birds with one stone!"

Gongsun Lan was angry and impatient, her nose was about to burst into flames, but the little emperor was not in a hurry, and slowly said angry words in front of her, looked her up and down, and said twice: "If General Yu hadn't been dragged down by his elder brother, he would also be a good-looking man with a great reputation. He would be a rare gentleman. I'm afraid all the little ladies in the capital would be jealous of Mrs. Gongsun! Mrs. Gongsun is really lucky!"

Gongsun Lan was so angry that she couldn't speak, what good luck? !Who wants this luck?Can she let Xian immediately?

The little emperor laughed aloud, and when he lifted his feet to walk towards the side hall, Gongsun Lan suddenly recalled, and couldn't help looking up at the little emperor, what did he mean by what he said?Could it be that Yu Miao has already won?Brother lost?Already lost?

"No, can't you?" Gongsun Lan's legs softened, and she was about to sit on the ground.

The servant girl beside her quickly supported her, "Lady, the general is out!"

Under the maid's reminder, she raised her eyes to look at the main hall, and saw her brother stepping out of the main hall frowning, she took a deep breath, and strode towards her brother, she didn't want to believe the little emperor's insinuation, She had to ask her brother herself to be sure!
"Brother!" Gongsun Lan walked in front of Gongsun Ling in three steps at a time, "What was the result? Did you win? Huh?"

Gongsun Ling seemed to be frowning in deep thought, why not Gongsun Lan suddenly rushed out from under his nose, and shook his head after being stunned.

"Shaking your head... what do you mean? You lost? Already lost? Huh?" Gongsun Lan couldn't help reaching out and grabbing his clothes on his chest, shaking his clothes tightly, "What are you talking about?"

Gongsun Ling stretched out his hand and pulled his sister's hand off, "What's it like in the palace?"

"Can I still care about appearances?" Gongsun Lan said anxiously, "You should talk quickly!"

"There is no result yet. I attacked the battle first, and he defended the city. He defeated the city to win. I broke the city once, but failed to break the city nine times..."

"Isn't that winning one and losing nine? Isn't that considered a loss? Brother, aren't you very powerful? Why are you doing this? Did you blow your strength before? Ah? You really want your only My sister, so cute, kind, understanding, gentle and virtuous, will you be compensated? Don't you feel bad?" Gongsun Lan looked at each other with teary eyes and asked aggressively.

Gongsun Ling was depressed at first, and when he heard this, he rolled his eyes helplessly, "After a short rest, I will defend the city while he attacks. So the result is uncertain, but I think you are so kind, understanding, gentle and virtuous, How about I surrender as soon as possible?"

When Gongsun Lan heard this, she burst into laughter, although she didn't really shed tears, "No, brother must win, sister is a trivial matter, brother's reputation is a big deal, if brother loses to him, wouldn't it be a big deal? You have swept our Gongsun family's face, and let the Shence army know about it, you will lose face, right? Brother, you must work hard! We must turn the situation back when defending the city!"

Gongsun Ling snorted, "Can you comfort people?"

Gongsun Lan bared her teeth and said, "Let me comfort you? If you lose, will I be the one who suffers the most? Okay, okay, I know, brother will definitely win! I will definitely keep your only sister, right?"

Gongsun Ling smiled helplessly, seeing how his sister was staring at him eagerly, he had no choice but to nod, "I will definitely do my best."

Shen Xinniang was sitting in the side hall, the little emperor came out of the main hall first, although he was the youngest, no one dared to go ahead of him.When the little emperor entered the side hall, he stayed by Shen Xiniang's side, and immediately reported the battle situation to Shen Xiniang: "Then Yu Miao really has some skills. He has defended the city nine times, and General Gongsun only broke the city once. The losses were heavy, and General Xie said that it was a lose-lose style of play.”

Shen Xinniang nodded slightly, and looked down at the little emperor lovingly.

"Ms. Shen really doesn't hate Yu Miao? After all, he helped his brother hurt the lady?" The little emperor looked up at her, and asked very seriously, "If you hate him, you are making uncle angry. I We will definitely not let him go!"

Shen Xinniang shook her head, "I saw that he is different from his brother. Although I was taken into the Lishan Palace by him at the beginning, I didn't suffer more harm because he refused to work with his brother. If the Holy One can Knowing people and being good at their duties will definitely be praised by officials and people all over the world, and I will be proud and happy for the Holy One."

"Really?" The little emperor's eyes sparkled.

Shen Xinniang nodded.

The little emperor laughed, "If Mrs. Shen is happy, I will be happy!"
