"That's natural." Zhang Chengxuan said, "The emperor has appointed Xiao Wang as the chief general and will take command of southern Xinjiang soon."

When it comes to the war, King Pingnan is most concerned: "Is there a candidate for the deputy general?"

In front of King Pingnan, Zhang Chengxuan did not dare to make excuses. He stood up first and then answered: "The emperor has appointed King Qi as his deputy general."

Ouyang Sheng? A good choice indeed. King Pingnan looked at Ye Yuxiao and sighed secretly. He had long seen that Ouyang Sheng was a good prospect, otherwise he would not have entered the palace so shyly and begged the emperor to facilitate this marriage. It's a pity that these two children are not destined to be together.

Gu Qingyan recalled the exciting fight on the roof last night, and was fascinated by the battlefield in southern Xinjiang: "It will be more enjoyable with real swords and guns on the battlefield."

Enjoyable? King Pingnan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This is obviously the home of a girl who was raised in a boudoir. The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. Either she bleeds or her arms and legs are broken, and she even loses her life. It's not fun at all."

"The reason why I was raised in a girl's house is not because my grandfather didn't let me go out to see the world!" Gu Qingyan said angrily.

See the world? Is there any little girl who goes to the battlefield to see the world? King Pingnan pointed at her and said, "It's all your grandfather who spoiled you."

Gu Qingyan was very unconvinced, turned her head and ignored him.

King Pingnan had always been unable to do anything with his grandchildren. He shook his head and asked Princess Pingnan to coax her.

Zhang Chengxuan's parents died when he was young. Seeing that Gu Qingyan was pampered by his elders, he couldn't help but feel envious. Well, what does he envy a little girl for? Zhang Chengxuan smiled mockingly, stood up and left.

Gu Qingyan pulled Ye Yuxiao out, hid behind the screen wall, watched Zhang Chengxuan walk away, and sighed: "Cousin, it would be better if you and Ouyang Sheng didn't make peace."

"I didn't reconcile with him, so you could let him secretly take you to the battlefield?" Ye Yuxiao has become familiar with her these days, and he raised his hand and poked her in the forehead, "Are you dreaming?"

It was indeed a dream. Gu Qingyan protected her forehead, but was surprised: "Cousin, how did you guess that I wanted to go to the battlefield?"

Is it difficult to guess? All she had to do was write on her forehead. Ye Yuxiao smiled and pushed her: "If you want to go to the battlefield and get away from your mother and grandmother, why are you pestering me?"

Ye Yuxiao actually supported her? Gu Qingyan was quite surprised, patted her happily, and went to find Princess Nan and the Han family.

The King of Qi Ouyang Sheng they just mentioned was passing by on the street outside Prince Pingnan's Mansion and happened to meet Zhang Chengxuan.

Zhang Chengxuan took the lead to dismount, cupped his hands and said, "That day at the Baohe Hall, I was so tired that King Qi also put him in solitary confinement. I really feel sorry for him."

Now that his leg injury has healed and he is no longer the coach, it is worth it even if he is imprisoned hundreds of times. Ouyang Sheng dismounted and returned the courtesy: "It's my first time to go on an expedition and I don't know everything. I will have to ask King Lu for advice."

"I don't take advice as an advice," Zhang Chengxuan said, "I just hope that King Qi will see Miss Ye as my savior and treat her kindly when we meet her one day, even if he treats me a little less favorably."

Ye Yuxiao? Ouyang Sheng secretly snorted and said, "As long as she doesn't pester me, everything will be easy."

Zhang Chengxuan thought about himself and sighed: "You are so blessed that you don't know how to be blessed. Some people admire you, but you still despise it."

"I don't like coquettish and willful women." Ouyang Sheng said disdainfully.

"That was before. I think Miss Ye is neither coquettish nor willful now." Zhang Chengxuan said.

"Now that she has become eloquent, I don't like it even more." Ouyang Sheng said firmly, leaving no room for error.

This is a personal preference, and Zhang Chengxuan couldn't talk about it anymore. The two of them bowed to each other and said goodbye.

Ouyang Sheng returned to Prince Qi's Mansion, locked himself in the study, and went down to the secret room.

The shadow stood up from the darkness and asked, "Has the date been set for the expedition?"

"It's settled." Ouyang Sheng's voice was hoarse, "The emperor will issue an order today, and I can't escape this time. Fortunately, King Lu is the coach. Although he is young, he is rich in experience. Even if I die suddenly in front of the battle, he will not be able to escape." It must be disposed of properly.”

"Prince Lu is responsible for the matters on the battlefield, but what about matters at Prince Qi's palace?" Shadow looked sad, "You will definitely not be able to come back once you leave. Aren't you going to arrange things at home?"

"No more arrangements." Ouyang Sheng lit the candle and looked at the shadow's face, "After I die, you will be the King of Qi. Be filial to my mother for me, marry a wife and have children, and support the Prince of Qi's palace."

"I don't dare. I'm afraid that the old prince will jump up from the grave and beat me." Shadow waved his hand and extinguished the candle. "When the news of your death comes, I will destroy this face and keep you company."

"I don't like men, so what kind of companion do I want from you?" Ouyang Sheng said disgustedly, "You don't have to wait for news of my death. Just pack your bags and go to the feudal country in the next few days. No one there will recognize your face. , you don’t have to disfigure yourself.”

It is good to go to the feudal state, but what can he do if he goes there? Ever since he could remember, he had been adopted by the old King Qi and became Ouyang Sheng's shadow. It is said that this is because Ouyang Sheng was kidnapped and the old King Qi was worried every day, so he found a substitute for him. But these years have been uneventful. Apart from being unable to see the light, his shadow has lived a smooth life without encountering any danger. However, Ouyang Sheng himself has been deeply affected by the poison he was poisoned and has lived a very unsatisfactory life.

Things in this world are often so unpredictable.

Shadow sighed secretly and said: "Don't worry about me, think about the concubine."

"Toffee..." Ouyang Sheng's eyes dimmed, "I'm going to die anyway, why should I tell her the truth and add another worry to her?"

This is true. Shadow nodded, and suddenly thought of something: "Is there someone behind the scenes of Niu Laodao? Why has he not seen any movement even after he has been dead for so long?"

"In the past ten years, apart from extorting money, he has never made excessive demands. It really doesn't seem like he has any other agenda."

Even if he had other intentions, it would be useless. He would die soon. Ouyang Sheng shook his head slowly, feeling depressed, and walked out of the secret room step by step.

He walked out of Shangyongyuan along the familiar corridor, paused for a moment in front of the now empty Xiaoyunyuan, and then followed the gravel path to the Huxin Pavilion.

Autumn has not yet begun, but there is already a coolness on the stone bench in the lake pavilion, just like his mood at the moment. He still has too many things to do and too many wishes that have not yet been fulfilled, but his life has come to an end.

He wanted to gallop on the battlefield and win in triumph; he wanted to marry a wife and have children, and have a family full of descendants... However, these were all doomed to come to nothing.

The more Ouyang Sheng thought about it, the sadder he became, he suddenly jumped over the railing and jumped into the lake.

In the clear lake water, piranhas are still in groups and densely packed. But this time they didn't dodge as usual. Instead, as if they had smelled delicious prey, they rushed towards Ouyang Sheng crazily and surrounded him in a blink of an eye.

The sharp sharp teeth of the piranha were right in front of him, and bone-chilling pain came from many places on his body. Ouyang Sheng was so shocked that he forgot to avoid it, and his mind went blank.
