Chapter 682 The first to die!
"When will you come back?"
"I don't know yet!"
Ning Fan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Now, the world is about to be in turmoil, and my father insists on retiring. I am responsible for the livelihood of thousands of people in Dayu. I am afraid it will be difficult to leave the court in a short time."
"However, I will definitely come after the affairs in the court are dealt with."
"Qingcheng, your body cannot be overworked. Remember to rest well."
"All matters in the court will be solved by the court officials."
Mu Qingcheng nodded slightly, but there was a bit of helplessness on her face: "You bad ruffian, now you have harmed me, you want to pat your butt and leave?"
"Alas!"
"If you and I were not born in an imperial family, how good would it be?"
Looking at Mu Qingcheng looked sentimental, but Ning Fan chuckled and said, "Miss Mu, if you were not born in an imperial family, you would not be able to enter the Ning royal family!"
"Tsk!"
"Even if I am not from an imperial family, I must be from a famous family, a family of scholars!"
"How can you be so sure?"
"Because... I was born extraordinary!"
"Okay, don't be so immature. If you are a dignified empress and act like a little girl, I don't know how to laugh at you if you are seen by foreign officials."
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the wise ministers and generals that I have carefully selected for you."
"Okay!"
The two walked out of the bedroom together, Mu Qingcheng changed into a casual dress, and sneaked out of the palace.
"Stop!"
"Huh?"
The two stopped together, and saw Ning Yan blocking them with a serious look: "The master has ordered that the empress is not allowed to leave the palace!"
"Uh!"
Mu Qingcheng subconsciously glanced at Ning Fan, and her face became very strange.
Ning Fan also looked at Ning Yan with a frown on his face: "Didn't you see that your master is right in front of you?"
"Master, this is the order you gave personally, and Ning Yan is executing the master's order according to the procedure!"
"Okay!"
"From now on, temporarily cancel the order that Mu Qingcheng cannot leave the palace!"
"Please set a temporary time for the master."
"Twelve hours!"
"Set successfully!"
Ning Yan made way for a path, followed Mu Qingcheng silently, and continued to execute the "never leave".
"Let's go, leave the city directly!"
...
Outside Xueyue City.
With the end of the war, the people who fled here also went north and returned to their hometowns.
The people on the ancient road carried bags on their backs, were half-dressed, and many were even barefoot, with sallow complexions and thin bodies.
"I feel bad for the people of Dali!"
"The world is like this. The law of nature is reincarnation. No matter which dynasty or era, before the prosperity, there must be war. Natural disasters and man-made disasters will continue. Then, after unification, the prosperity will come!"
"This is the law of nature!"
Ning Fan looked at the rise and fall of dynasties from the perspective of later generations. Even if he was a time traveler, he would be helpless under this mighty trend, which could not be changed by human power!
"Go!"
Two people and two horses came from the ancient road against the flow of people. One of them was burly and the other was skinny. Although they were dressed simply, their temperament was extremely extraordinary, which attracted the attention of the people along the way.
Ning Fan looked over and nodded slightly.
"Is it them?"
"Yes!"
Ning Fan raised his foot to meet them. The two also saw the figure of their master, held the reins, and turned over to get off the horse.
"Tang He, meet the lord!"
"Liu Ji, meet the lord!"
"No need to be polite!"
Ning Fan waved his hand and smiled gently: "You two have come from afar, thank you for your hard work."
"This is the Queen of Dali!"
"I, Tang He and Liu Ji, pay my respects to your majesty!"
"Stand up!"
Mu Qingcheng looked at the two people in front of him, showing a little bit of affinity, and said calmly: "King Pingshi strongly recommended you two to me, saying that you have the talent to stabilize the country."
"Can I trust you?"
"Your Majesty, this is a time when heroes emerge in large numbers. The common people and bandits can all be heroes."
"Your Majesty, wait and see whether we are dragons or bears."
Tang He's eyes were shining, but his tone was carefree, as if he was joking.
"Okay!"
"Tang He, from now on, you will command the troops in the capital!"
"Liu Ji, you can start from the Dali Temple!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ning Fan looked at the two with a smile, and said softly: "Bo Wen, Ding Chen, with your current reputation, it may not be so easy to gain a foothold in the court."
"I will return to Yu tomorrow."
"Dali, I rely on you."
"I dare not!"
Liu Ji bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly, his eyes looked towards the Snow Moon City in front of him, and said softly: "I have heard that Cheng Xiang of Dali has a good reputation and is knowledgeable. He has supported half of the court with his own strength. I want to visit him first!"
"Of course!"
Ning Fan nodded with a smile. With Liu Ji's intelligence, it was not difficult to deal with a group of court officials.
Moreover, with Du Ruhui covering in the dark, he was quite relieved.
"Dingchen, come with me and His Majesty to the military camp!"
"Yes!"
Liu Ji entered the city, and Ning Fan and his party came to the camp outside the city.
Da Li's garrison in Beijing is not large, only tens of thousands, and when Dayan went south, most of the garrison troops in the capital were transferred to the north. Now this camp is like an empty camp.
"Why are you here?"
"Of course we have guests!"
"Hmm?"
Under Mu Qingcheng's shocked gaze, a neat team of armored soldiers stepped forward on the ancient road not far away. The first few rows of soldiers held powerful crossbows and sharp swords on their waists, and the armored soldiers behind them held swords, spears, swords and halberds, in a neat and uniform manner.
The eight hundred crossbow guards arranged in the front were extremely dazzling.
"What is this?"
Tang He looked at the army in front of him, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Ning Fan smiled and looked at the Xiandeng Camp in the distance, and said calmly: "Dingchen, have you ever known about the Battle of Jieqiao at the end of the Han Dynasty?"
"The Battle of Jieqiao?"
"Could it be...Ju Yi's Xiandeng Camp under Yuan Benchu?"
"That's right!"
"But, isn't there only eight hundred people in the Xiandeng Camp?"
"This king will form a ten-thousand-person death camp with eight hundred Xiandeng, called the Xiandeng Death Soldier!"
"Hiss!"
Although Tang He came from the grass, he was familiar with military books after commanding the army, so he naturally knew about the Battle of Jieqiao between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao!
As one of the few elite troops under Yuan Shao at that time, he had heard of it a long time ago, but he didn't expect to see it with his own eyes today.
"Dingchen, from today on, this vanguard of death soldiers will be handed over to you."
"Don't let me down!"
"Don't worry, lord, I will definitely not disgrace the reputation of the sages!"
"Very good!"
Ning Fan looked at Mu Qingcheng on the side, who nodded slightly, walked forward slowly, took out a token from his sleeve, and handed it to Tang He on the side!
"Ten thousand soldiers of the vanguard camp greet the general!"
"No need to be polite!"
Tang He suppressed his excitement and said loudly: "I, Tang He, will lead the vanguard of death soldiers from today!"
"Ten thousand wins!"
