Chapter 401 Sister

The three of them drank until midnight, and although they said they would not leave until they were drunk, no one actually got drunk.

Yan Changwen staggered back to the tent and was helped by Murong Lan to rest.

The next morning, when the two were preparing to meet King Zhenbei again to discuss raising an army, an excited voice was heard outside the tent.

"Sister, sister!"

Murong Jing called out loudly as she walked into the tent. As soon as she saw Murong Lin, she pounced on him.

"Sister, I just got back to the camp, and my father said you were back. I thought he was lying, but it turned out to be true!"

Murong Jing's eyes lit up and she grabbed Murong Lin's hand excitedly.

Yan Changwen coughed lightly, and only then did Murong Jing notice him.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Qi." Murong Jing saluted with her fists clasped, but she had no interest in him at all and continued to chat with Murong Lian.

Yan Changwen also took the opportunity to look Murong Jing up and down. The last time they met was when he and Lian'er got married.

She has a slightly dark complexion and a well-proportioned figure, showing signs of years of exercise. She is heroic and valiant, worthy of being the Princess Ningyue, who is feared throughout the northern border.

With her help, we can march south and take Kyoto directly, which will be much easier.

Thinking of this, Yan Changwen smiled at Murong Jing and said:

"Since the princess is Lian'er's biological sister, we are all family. It would be too distant to call me Your Highness. It would be better to call me brother-in-law from now on."

"Oh, brother-in-law." Murong Jing didn't care about these things at all and said casually.

Yan Changwen wanted to say something more to her, but Murong Jing had already pulled Murong Lin outside.

"Sister, I just got a great horse. Come on, I'll show it to you!"

Murong Lian smiled helplessly and dotingly, turned around and winked at Yan Changwen, telling him to go find the King of Zhenbei himself.

…

The grassland outside the northern frontier camp is green and stretches for thousands of miles, with occasional cattle and sheep seen roaming around.

Two figures were riding on horses, one in front and one behind, walking and stopping.

Murong Jing's red dress was extremely dazzling. She rode her horse for a distance and turned back to tease Murong Lian who was behind her:

"Sister, I still remember the first time I rode a horse as a child, you were the one who took me there.

I think you have been a princess for too long, and now you are so unfamiliar with riding a horse!"

Murong Lian couldn't remember how long it had been since he had put on the military uniform. Listening to the sound of swords and weapons from the soldiers training in the camp not far away and the bumpy feeling from the fierce horse under his crotch, he felt as if he was in another world.

Murong Jing finally slowed down and walked side by side with her. The two rode slowly on horseback, the fragrance of green grass lingering around their noses.

"Sister, I still don't understand." Murong Jing suddenly spoke, her voice a little muffled.

"What?" Murong Lin looked at her.

"If you hadn't left back then, we two sisters could have traveled thousands of miles in this northern border, fighting the enemy side by side, how happy it would have been.

Do you really like being confined to the backyard and engaging in intrigues with the people in the court all day long?"

Murong Jing looked at her stubbornly and with a bit of grievance, wanting to hear an answer.

"Jing'er." Murong Lian's voice was gentle. After thinking for a while, he said, "Sis hasn't been by your side these years. Have you ever fallen in love with any man?"

Murong Jing sneered at the question, "That depends on whether they can defeat the spear in my hand."

Murong Lian sighed softly, "When you find someone you love, you will understand."

"I don't understand!" Murong Jing suddenly became like a child throwing a tantrum and shouted:

"I just don't understand! For so many years, I have never figured out why you wanted to marry him?

Just because you were his companion in the palace for two years when you were a child, and you debated with him about the Four Books and Five Classics, but you didn't win, so you kicked him into the lake?

When he said he wanted to marry you, I felt he had bad intentions!"

In terms of appearance, the Third Prince has some bearing, but he is definitely not a handsome man with an elegant figure.

When it comes to martial arts, let alone myself, even my sister can beat him single-handedly.

Just for such a man, my sister abandoned herself in the northern border and married to a place so far away from the capital, so that the two of them could not see each other for several years!

Murong Lian thought for a moment and said softly, "In many cases, you may not need so many reasons to fall in love with someone. Your Highness and I know each other very well. He is the person who understands me best in the world, and I know him the same way. This alone is something that others cannot achieve..."

"He understands you the best? What about me? I'm your biological sister, don't I understand you?!"

Murong Jing was so angry that she was about to go crazy. Seeing this, Murong Lian was helpless and hurried to coax her: "Jing'er, what sister means is..."

"I don't want to listen anymore!" Murong Jing turned away angrily.

"There's not a word I like to hear."

"Return to camp!"

Murong Jing whipped his horse whip, rushed out for a distance in anger, but then turned back.

"What? You changed your mind again and don't want to go back to the camp?" Murong Lian said while trying not to smile.

Murong Jing snorted coldly and said reluctantly:

"My father said you haven't been back for many years, so he asked me to take you around the area.

We were not allowed to go back until after noon!"

"After noon?" Murong Lin was a little surprised. "Did father say that?"

"I can't remember the exact words, but that's roughly what I meant. Humph, but I see that you only have your prince in your heart, so how can you have time to accompany me, your sister -

Sister, what's wrong with you?

Murong Jing noticed that Murong Lin looked a little unhappy, so she stopped her horse and asked.

"Not good, Your Highness...!" Murong Lan murmured, his heart suddenly falling into an icy cave.

Her expression suddenly changed and she turned her horse's head and galloped towards the camp.

…

Murong Lian jumped off his horse and rushed straight into the tent of King Zhenbei, searching left and right.

Murong Jing followed her in, feeling a little at a loss.

"Lian'er, what are you doing?" King Zhenbei spoke in a deep voice while sitting in his seat.

"Father, where is His Highness?" Murong Lian didn't even bother to salute, and quickly walked up to the King of Zhenbei and asked.

King Zhenbei slowly put down the document in his hand and said to her:

"Lian'er, you have come all the way from the capital and have had a hard time. Now that you are back, you should take a good rest.

Please stop interfering in the affairs of the King."

The King of Zhenbei's eyes fell on Murong Jing, and his tone was somewhat commanding, "Jing'er, why don't you take your sister downstairs to rest quickly?"

Murong Jing looked at her sister, then at her father, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Father!" This was the first time Murong Lian spoke to his father in such a tone.

King Zhenbei finally raised his eyes, stared at her for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice:

“Prince Qi secretly fled the capital and came to the northern border, intending to instigate me to rebel.

This prince has ordered Lieutenant Gu Chaoyang to escort him to the capital to await His Majesty's decision."
