Vol 8 Chapter 14: Many people are powerful
"Chen'er, get ready, the queen will go out with you." Emperor Cheng stood majestically in front of Duanmu Qingchen, looking at his son Duanmu Qingchen very seriously.
Duanmu Jinhong was stunned for a moment, what? Expedition?
"Expedition? Father, is there a war on the border?" Duanmu Qingchen couldn't help standing up from behind Duanmu Jinhong, and asked in Duanmu Jinhong's deep voice, as calm and indifferent as possible. But at this moment, his heart felt as if there were countless crickets bouncing around non-stop. He had never gone to war before, and when he heard that he could go to war today, he was naturally excited and joyful.
It's a pity that his father let the prince go. But it doesn't matter, he can follow along.
The expressions of Emperor Cheng and Yuchi Yanxia became dignified, and Yao Guangda's fat body walked out from Emperor Cheng: "His Royal Highness, Third Prince, time is running out, why don't you let me explain as you walk."
Duanmu Qingchen immediately poked Duanmu Jinhong, suggesting that he act quickly. He, Duanmu Qingchen, was short-tempered.
Duanmu Jinhong came back to his senses: "My son, go and prepare." Duanmu Jinhong hurried back to the palace after saluting.
Emperor Cheng and Yuchi Yanxia looked at the back of their son Duanmu Qingchen leaving, and always felt that something was wrong. It seems that now this son is a little less energetic and more alienated. Usually, he seldom talks about palace rules, and he seldom salutes them. But now he always saluted them respectfully, which made Emperor Cheng involuntarily think of his third prince, Duanmu Jinhong.
"Father, may my son go with you?" Duanmu Qingchen respectfully bowed to Emperor Cheng. Although he was awkward playing Duanmu Jinhong, his acting skills were much better than Duanmu Jinhong's. And he originally loved reading, writing, and storytelling, and played the various characters in the book vividly.
Emperor Cheng was a little surprised, Yuchi Yanxia looked at Emperor Cheng and the third prince, and said softly: "I'll go and see Chen'er, he may not know what to bring when he goes out for the first time."
Emperor Cheng nodded slightly, Yuchi Yanxia gave Yao Guang a wink, and asked Yao Guang to leave with her.
Yao Guang quickly followed behind Yuchi Yanxia. When Emperor Cheng was talking to another son, Yuchi Yanxia felt that it was inconvenient for her to be present, which was the queen's rite.
Emperor Cheng looked at Duanmu Jinhong, his brows were already tightened: "Hui'er, going here is very dangerous, you still..."
"I don't care!" Duanmu Qingchen lost control all of a sudden, letting impatience gain the upper hand.
Emperor Cheng was slightly taken aback, and the third prince became impatient no matter what.
Duanmu Qingchen realized that he had missed a loophole, calmed down his expression, and continued to follow the previous impatience: "After the National Temple, I actually thought a lot. I have too little experience, and I have lived in the palace for a long time. Maybe This made my son become more and more withdrawn. This time the border war, the emperor's brother personally fought, and the son didn't want to stay in the palace, and the son also wanted to join the war, and the son... wanted to protect the emperor." Duanmu Qingchen said Come on, clasped fists with both hands, with a firm expression without any fear.
Chengdi Weilu looked at the third prince Duanmu Jinhong in surprise, he seemed to have changed a little bit, he became braver, besides the calmness he originally hoped the prince would have, now, he has more of what he expected the third prince to be able to achieve. Some cheerful.
A sense of relief spread in Emperor Cheng's chest, and he made a decision: "Okay! This time you go with the prince, remember, be careful!"
"Yes!" Duanmu Qingchen tried to suppress the excitement and excitement in his heart, and said, maintaining Duanmu Jinhong's calmness and composure.
Without the knowledge of all the officials in the capital, Emperor Cheng had already asked the prince to conscript himself. It was supposed to be announced at the court, but Junqing was in a hurry, and Emperor Cheng decided to go to court tomorrow to inform the officials.
When Duanmu Jinhong packed his luggage, he was puzzled by the haste, but his acting skills were not as good as Duanmu Qingchen's. To be on the safe side, he said less and made fewer mistakes.
Yuchi Yanxia adjusted the armor for her son. Yuchi Yanxia always wanted to see her son wear this armor, but she didn't want to be here today.
She looked behind her, Emperor Cheng hadn't come yet, Yao Guang, as a courtier, of course couldn't wander around in the harem, and stood obediently in the yard.
Yuchi Yanxia turned her face back and held her son's hand tightly, her eyes were full of worry: "Chen'er, listen, this time the enemy is extraordinary, if you run away, no one will blame you, you know?"
Duanmu Jinhong stared blankly at the queen, who actually asked him to be a deserter.
Yuchi Yanxia frowned: "If you are fighting the enemy, if you dare to escape, I will definitely beat you, but this time... Hey! Anyway, you will know soon, listen, don't be brave, you are the prince, you are the prince Design is more important!"
Duanmu Jinhong became more and more confused by Yuchi Yanxia's reaction, faintly feeling that this sudden war might be different from what he had imagined. Looking at the anxious Yao Guang outside the courtyard, Duanmu Jinhong immediately thought of the special existence of Jiumen.
Could it be Yaozu! He was startled, he thought of Yaozu because he thought of Gongzi Hong. Gong Zihong has always wanted to get rid of Jiumen. He said that Lian Youyou in Nine Gates was a demon, and Lian Youyou's mocking of him was obviously implying that Young Master Hong was a demon.
They were like a dog biting a dog, but with his naked eyes, he couldn't tell the difference. Could this war be related to them? But Duanmu Jinhong never imagined that he, the crown prince, wanted to fight against the Yaozu!
At this moment, Emperor Cheng and Duanmu Jinhong in armor came striding forward. Seeing that the third prince was also wearing armor, Yuchi Yanxia knew that Emperor Cheng agreed with Duanmu Jinhong to go with him. In this regard, she still felt a little worried.
Although the queen didn't know the truth about the Guosi incident, she was always on guard against Duanmu Jinhong. She saw his ambition and knew that the third prince was not simple and had ulterior motives. It's her silly son who has too much heart.
"Father is here!" Duanmu Jinhong didn't want to be alone with the queen anymore, he was worried that the queen would find out his weakness, so he hurried out to greet him.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty the Third!" Yao Guang was also a little confused when he saw that the Third Prince was about to go to war.
Emperor Cheng brought the third prince forward and looked at Yao Guang deeply: "Where are we going next?"
"We are going to deploy defenses in Songcheng between Chengzhou and Liangzhou, and transfer all soldiers from Chengzhou to Songcheng." Yao Guang said as he entered the hall. After Emperor Cheng entered with the third prince, he began to close the door, "We Now go to the secret realm to meet with General Yuchi, and then go to Songcheng later."
"it is good!"
Duanmu Jinhong stood beside Duanmu Qingchen, with doubts in his eyes, what is the secret place? And Yuchi Yanxia showed a bit of anticipation, she heard what Emperor Cheng said about the secret realm.
Yao Guang saluted respectfully to the big brothers, and then slowly opened the door. Immediately, immortal energy and lotus fragrance came out together, and Duanmu Qingchen opened his eyes wide. !
