Chapter 52 The Changes in Yongcheng
Ever since she played two games of chess with Xu Huan, Yan Ling ran to the main courtyard every day as if she was looking for a chess friend.

Xu Huan was still recovering from his illness, but he was very welcome to go there.

As a result, the second son of Yan completely forgot about going to Yongcheng, as if he was going out to play, and it was a pleasure to be a guest.

After getting up early and practicing swordsmanship, Yan Ling went back to the house sweating profusely.

"The weather in Nanyuan is too sultry. After practicing for such a short time, I am full of sweat." He moaned while wiping away the sweat.

"Young master, go wash, the water is ready." Yan Ji came out of the room.

Yan Ling agreed, and walked all the way to take off, the young and fit body was soon completely naked, with long legs straddling, into the bathtub.

Yan Ji followed him to pick up the clothes, sighing while picking them up.Look at this broken habit, isn't he the one tossing away from home?

There shouted again: "What are you sighing? Come and wash my hair for me!"

Yan Ji asked strangely, "Didn't you wash it yesterday? Why do you still need to wash it today?"

Yan Ling said confidently: "It's said that the weather in Nanyuan is hot, and the body is sweaty, but the head can be clean? If you don't wash it, it smells like sweat, how can you meet people?"

Yan Ji understood: "Don't you want to leave a bad impression on Mr. Xu?"

If you want to marry Miss Xu San, you have to please her father, this idea is right!

Yan Ji figured this out and was very supportive.As long as he doesn't have to go to Yongcheng to die, what's the point of telling him to wash his hair?So I washed and rubbed hard...

Yan Ling, who was being dragged, shouted, "Take it easy!"

Yan Ji was wronged: "Isn't it bad to wash it clean?"

Yan Ling said, "Is that what you call washing? Your scalp has been ripped out!"

The master and servant were noisy, and finally cleaned up and looked new, and went to Xu Huan to play chess.

But this time they were stopped.

Wei Jun said politely, "Your Excellency has something to do today, so I won't entertain Second Young Master Yan."

Yan Ling watched the officials go in and out, feeling a little unusual, but if he asked directly, Wei Jun would definitely not say, and said: "Then I'll wait here, Master Xu will always be finished, right? "

Then take care of yourself and go to Baoxia.

"Hey!" Wei Jun stopped him again, "I really don't have time today, Second Young Master Yan, come back another day!"

How could Yanling listen to him, if he left obediently, wouldn't he not be able to hear any news?He quickly bypassed him and said to himself, "How do you know if you don't wait? Maybe the adults will finish things in a while? You don't need to worry about me, just give me a pot of tea."

Yan Ji answered quickly, "Young Master, I'm going to make tea." Then he went quickly.

Yan Ling had already sat down and looked up at him with a sincere expression: "Since there are a lot of things, don't worry about me, just go!"

He is already like this, how can he stop it?Wei Jun couldn't do anything, so he went out and explained to the guard: "Keep an eye on it, don't let Second Young Master Yan walk around."

Although Yan Ling didn't hear what he said, she saw the gesture.

Yan Ji came back with tea and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, what are they doing? Did something big happen?"

Yan Ling drank tea, stared outside, and replied in a low voice, "There must be something important. The one just now was clearly a messenger."

"Hey, Miss Xu San is here!" Yan Ji happily pointed at Xu Yin who had just come in.

Yan Ling scolded: "Don't be noisy."

He stared at Xu Yin twice, and saw that her expression was normal and her footsteps were not flustered. Shouldn't the situation be so bad?However, he was not sure. He had known each other for so long, and he had never seen Miss Xu San flustered. He brought someone to arrest the bandits in the middle of the night with a calm expression on his face.

Xu Yin quickly stepped into the house and saw his father surrounded by Ji Jing and others.

"Father."

Xu Huan beckoned, without saying a word of nonsense: "Come."

Xu Yin walked over, a seat has been prepared for her here, slightly behind her father's side, just in time to listen in.

"What happened?" she asked, sitting down.

Xu Huan glanced at it, and Ji Jing replied, "Miss Hui San, Wu Zijing suddenly sent troops to capture Yongcheng."

Xu Yin was surprised: "So soon?" The previous life was obviously a few months away!
Everyone's faces were the same, and Jin Lu said, "It's surprisingly fast. We all thought that he would send troops at the end of the year at the earliest."

Great Liang was originally a land, and Gaozu once borrowed soldiers from them when he fought in the world. Later, when the Great Zhou established a kingdom, Gaozu reciprocated, and named the leader of his tribe as King of Liang.

This Wu Zijing was born in the Central Plains and has been in the army for generations.

The world is in turmoil, no one cares about the general who escapes, the emperor is weak, and it has been a long time since Great Liang did not obey the emperor's orders, so Wu Zijing became the Marshal of Great Liang.

But this Wu Zijing is not a grateful person. Seeing the fierce internal power struggle in Great Liang, he took the opportunity to seize the throne of Great Liang.

He was not a native of Great Liang at first, and he won the throne by mutiny. Those Fan people are very fierce, how can they obey him?Therefore, everyone thought that it would take some time for him to suppress the internal rebellion before he was free to attack elsewhere.

Unexpectedly, in such a short time, he sent troops.

If Yongcheng was taken, Nanyuan would be in danger. No wonder her father suddenly summoned her. This was a matter of life and death.

Xu Yin briefly thought about it and said, "It's not surprising that Great Liang was in chaos, so he rushed to send troops. With a large army fighting, with financial interests in hand, internal conflicts can be temporarily suppressed."

Xu Huan agreed: "That's the truth."

Xu Yin asked, "Father, what should we do? With the soldiers and horses of Nanyuan, is it difficult to defend?"

"Yes." Xu Huan didn't hide it from her, "I was thinking about sending a messenger to Dongjiang or Guanzhong to see if I could ask the King of Dongjiang and Duke Zhao for help, but I didn't expect Wu Zijing to move so quickly."

Xu Yin quickly calculated in his heart.If Wu Zijing hasn't fought yet, then he can negotiate the terms well, and his family will not necessarily suffer.But now the fight is about to start, and Nanyuan is no longer qualified to make conditions. If he goes to Dongjiang or Guanzhong, he will call for help, and the initiative is in the hands of others.

This is indeed a problem.

"Of course, our Nanyuan is not Yongcheng. It is not so easy for him to take it." Xu Huan said confidently, "As my father estimates, it will not be a problem to keep it for three to five months."

Even so, still looking for help.

Xu Yin was thinking, should he talk to the second son of Yan, another messenger came from outside.

"My lord! There is a letter from Yongcheng! It was sent by Wu Zijing himself!"

Huh?Is it a declaration of war?
Xu Huan took a look and his face became strange.

"Father? What's wrong?"

Xu Huan handed the letter to her and said, "Wu Zijing did not declare war, but made an invitation to go to Yongcheng for his father to attend the meeting."

Xu Yin read it over and over again, and it turned out to be an invitation letter.Wu Zijing was quite polite, and it was not their family who invited them, but from several nearby prefectures.

"Is this the Hongmen Banquet?"

　Time for the plot.Good night.
