Concubine all over the world

Chapter 21
Xiao Jinyan lost his hand, slightly embarrassed, Hua Man'er was afraid of his embarrassment, and quickly covered it up with a smile: "Your Highness, I don't know, I can't touch the wounds all over my body, it hurts so much."

Xiao Jinyan sneered: "Yes, I almost forgot. The most important thing for you now is to heal your wounds. Don't worry, I will let the imperial physician do its best, and within half a month, you will be able to take good care of your body! The princess just needs to rest in peace of mind. Don't bother!"

"Everything is not bothering you? Peace of mind?" Hua Man'er shook her head, "No, this half month is too long. This half month is enough to prepare the grain and grass in the capital of Jokhang, and even transport it to Li Muhan's border capital. Is His Highness the Crown Prince going to sit and wait for death?"

Xiao Jinyan was stunned by Hua Man'er's words: "Princess means..."

"Healing is all about recuperating, but during this time, the most important thing for His Royal Highness is not to take care of the princess's injuries, but to do everything in his power to prevent the capital from sending food and grass to the border. As long as the food and grass have not arrived, it can buy us some time to prepare for the war." day!"

Hua Man'er stood for a long time, her face was slightly pale, and she sat down at the table.

Xiao Jinyan sat down and nodded slightly: "Princess is really thoughtful. Although I discovered that Dazhao was preparing food and grass for Li's army, I never thought of stopping it, because it is not so easy!"

"That's true. Food and grass are very important, so naturally guard them strictly! However, it's not completely opportunistic. This is a matter sponsored by the Ministry of War. As far as this princess knows, Qi Banbao, the servant of the Ministry of War, does not get along with Li Muhan, and he is narrow-minded. , Your Highness the Crown Prince can make a fuss out of it!" Hua Man'er stared at Xiao Jinyan and suggested sincerely.

"That's true, that's really great!" Xiao Jinyan had an expression of surprise when he heard the words, and cupped his hands, "Thank you princess for your guidance! The princess is really like a pearl to Jinyan!"

His tone was slightly teasing, and from the corners of his brows and eyes, a romantic and suave charm flowed out involuntarily.

Hua Man'er couldn't help lowering her head slightly, pursed her lips lightly, and smiled awkwardly.

After all, she was still not used to being too intimate with him when they first met.

Or maybe it's because there is a trace of involuntary resistance in my heart to this kind of intimacy.

"This princess is just talking and reminding His Royal Highness that the real thing to do is to be carried out by the Crown Prince. This is the most difficult part. However, I believe that with the wisdom and ability of His Royal Highness, the flaw should be found. In addition, this The princess also wants to do our best for the barbarians!"

"Oh, what do you say? I am all ears!" Xiao Jinyan bowed his head slightly to listen. Judging from his expression, he no longer dared to underestimate the seriously injured barbarian princess.

Hua Man'er took off a jade ring from her finger, and handed it to Xiao Jinyan: "This ring is called 'chalcedony green', and it is one of the princess' tokens. Use this ring to summon the barbarian soldiers for my princess and my brother." General, let them lurk on the road from the capital of Dazhao to the border, and help you rob and burn food and grass!"

Xiao Jinyan immediately stood up when he heard the words, respectfully took the chalcedony green from Hua Maner, and said with a little excitement: "Your Highness has completely trusted Jin Yan, and entrusted the barbarian soldiers to Jin Yan, Jin Yan Never betray the princess's trust, and try my best to gather all the soldiers and horses for Her Royal Highness to fight against Dazhao together."

Compared with Xiao Jinyan, Hua Man'er seemed calm and generous: "The so-called 'employing people is not suspicious, and suspicious people are not used'. Since the barbarians and Xuanyue have formed an alliance, they will not have two hearts. The barbarians are good at making drugs, which may help You have a helping hand. The Jokha has a lot of soldiers and generals, reckless fighting is not the answer, outsmarting is the best strategy."

"It's reasonable!" Xiao Jinyan nodded slightly, "Talking to the princess made me suddenly enlightened!"

Hua Man'er sighed: "This is also a helpless move. The barbarian soldiers have left the old wounds unhealed, and they are scattered. The forces need to buy some time for deployment! By the way, Your Highness, please bring your pen and ink!"

Xiao Jinyan hurriedly followed orders.

Hua Man'er unfolded the rice paper, and Xiao Jinyan was on the side, grinding ink for it.

Hua Man'er picked up the pen, held her breath, and tried to recall in her mind, while drawing out all the memories.

Gradually, in front of Xiao Jinyan, a magnificent landscape appeared.

"This is..." Xiao Jinyan was surprised.

"This is the map of Dazhao Kingdom!" Hua Man'er said, "I read the local chronicles of Dazhao at Li Muhan's place, and I pieced it together to draw it. It should be eight|nine inseparable!"

This map took more than two hours to complete, and the map marked the passes and the number of garrisons in each state and county.

The number of garrisons was not obtained from the local chronicles, but was found by Hua Man'er after searching for the notes written by Li Muhan.

Xiao Jinyan has been staring at Hua Man'er's little face seriously painting.In his heart, he felt that he had really obtained a treasure, which was more useful than thousands of troops.

You know, since he realized that Dazhao had the intention of encroaching, to the time he sent people to lurk in the capital, it has been half a year, and he still hasn't figured out the whole picture of Dazhao and the deployment of troops.

After Hua Man'er finished painting, she put down her pen, pointed to Xuanyue who was showing a corner, and said, "Look, Xuanyue is here, and the capital of Dazhao is here..."

Xian Xiansu pointed her fingers, as if the universe was in her delicate heart: "From the border of Xuanyue to the capital of Dazhao, the shortest distance is to take Ruyang, Hetai from Jingyuan Road, then to Huaijia, and then go straight to the capital. Ruyang, Hetai, and Huaijia are also important military areas, with the most troops stationed there. As long as we conquer these three state capitals, we will be able to take advantage of the time and place, and the capital of Dazhao is in danger!"

"Well——" Xiao Jinyan also agreed, but with a little doubt in his heart, "Looking at the map, it should be attacked like this. But the fact is that the tiger and wolf divisions of the Li family army are not idle. It is possible that the Li family army will move after hearing the news before we capture Ruyang. , came here urgently, and our army was blocked outside Ruyang City."

Hua Man'er sneered: "His Royal Highness's concerns are not unreasonable. The Li family's army is indeed not waiting for nothing, but it is not an impregnable fortress. Didn't this princess escape from there?"

Xiao Jinyan sighed, cupped his hands and said: "It is true that I am showing cowardice, I am ashamed and ashamed! Since Her Royal Highness said so, I must have a clever plan in mind!"

"I don't dare to make a good plan. This princess can only come up with an idea. It's like robbing and burning food and grass. How to do it depends on His Highness the Crown Prince's flexibility according to the actual situation. I hope everything goes well!" Hua Man'er said humbly.

Xiao Jinyan stared at Hua Man'er, and there was already admiration in his eyes at this time, this kind of admiration came from the bottom of his heart, and it was not a beautiful word just now.

"Then, please tell me, princess, what your vision is?"

Hua Man'er sighed: "His Royal Highness, please help gather the barbarian soldiers. After robbing and burning food and grass, there is no need for all of you to go back to Xuanyue. Please tell them, His Royal Highness, that they can divide into five groups, and follow you all the way back to see the princess, so as to protect them little prince."

"What about the other four roads?" Xiao Jinyan couldn't help asking.

"The other four roads are disguised and lurking in Ruyang, Hetai, Huaijia, and the capital. When the time comes, they can cooperate with the inside and outside to open the city gate for us. Wouldn't it be twice as effective?" To relieve the qi, small flames clustered in the eyes of the peach blossoms, making people unable to help burning.

"Yes!" Xiao Jinyan was also excited, "This is a good idea! It not only disperses the troops, but also won't attract the attention of the Li family army."

"Yes," Hua Man'er said, "The barbarians are good at making poison and are suitable for making troubles in the city, while you Xuanyue is good at setting up traps, so you can attack outside the city. Speaking of which, Your Highness, Man'er thinks you We should develop some powerful crossbows for long-range attacks, so that we can avoid the brave Li family army and avoid using our own weaknesses to fight against the opponent's strengths, what do you think?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded frequently: "Very good! My palace is also planning to do so. Therefore, my palace has already prepared these powerful weapons, and they will be ready within half a month. Princess, don't worry."

"That's great, the princess will feel at ease. But... there is one more thing, please help the Crown Prince." Hua Man'er thought of someone.

Xiao Jinyan replied enthusiastically: "No matter what you are busy with, whether you go up the mountain of swords or down into the sea of ​​fire, I will definitely do it for Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Hua Man'er said eagerly: "It's a person, the master of this princess. His name is 'Hua Leopard'. He is the general of our barbarians. It would be best if he is still alive. Please look for it for His Highness the Crown Prince. And bring him here, if he protects the emperor, the princess will feel at ease."

"Okay! As long as he is still alive, I will find him for you!" Xiao Jinyan agreed.

In the following days, Xiao Jinyan sent Eunuch Li and Imperial Physician Jiang to serve Hou Huaman'er, and left his most capable court lady Ji Cui to take care of her, while he took Dui Yun and a few love generals to Dazhao and acted according to plan .

After another half a month, Hua Man'er's injuries were almost healed.She looked at the intact jade skin and skin on her body, and her mood fluctuated slightly.For many days, the old wounds on the body have not healed, and new wounds have been added.

Recovering a healthy body was like rebirth, so she gritted her teeth and hated Li Muhan again.

Thinking of him, the dull pain in her heart could not be suppressed.In retrospect, beating, scolding|humilating|humilating was the second most important thing, but the cold arrow at the end made her hate him completely and thoroughly.

Because of this, she didn't allow herself to be lazy.

As soon as her body recovered, she immediately took her younger brother Hua Zehao to practice martial arts together, using knives, swords, sticks, and guns in turn, and supervised her younger brother's study at night.

Hua Zehao was also a bit clever and mischievous at first, but perhaps because he witnessed the destruction of the country and the family, and experienced a lot of suffering, he became extraordinarily precocious.

Hua Zehao practiced kung fu during the day and studied until late at night, but he had no complaints.

His obedient and obedient behavior made Hua Man'er's heart ache.

Hua Man'er keeps in touch with Xiao Jinyan from time to time.Hua Man'er said in the letter that she had always heard that Xuan Yue was good at making arrangements, so she wanted to learn, and asked Xiao Jinyan if she would like to.

Xiao Jinyan replied: "Man'er is the future queen of Xuanyue, why not? Everything about Jinyan belongs to Man'er."

Man'er was moved in his heart, compared to Li Muhan, Xiao Jinyan's warmth easily shook Hua Man'er's frozen heart.

Xiao Jinyan sent her own master, Wu Ziyi, the national teacher, to teach her how to set up organs, and Hua Man'er studied hard.

Another half month later, good news came frequently...
