Chapter 320: Go to the capital to support the king at night!
The soldiers surrounded the cemetery in three layers inside and outside.
Watching the thin coffin being buried.
After Princess Huaxun's coffin was buried, the soldiers came forward, scooped up the yellow soil with both hands, and scattered it, burying the tomb bit by bit.
Until the tomb chamber turned into a small mound.
A tombstone carved from bluestone stands in front of the grave mound.
Tens of thousands of soldiers knelt on one knee, their voices clear and heroic.
"Farewell Princess Huaxun!"
"Have a safe journey, Your Highness!"
Xiao Ning also knelt on one knee and said softly, "The men of Dayong have already annihilated the Xiongnu. From now on, no woman will be forced to marry far away like you."
"Princess, rest in peace..."
May you be born into a good family in your next life.
Free and unrestrained, happy and fulfilling.
She touched the bluestone tombstone and stood up.
The words on the tombstone were carved by Shang Xi himself, with iron painting and silver hooks, and it read "Tomb of Princess Huaxun Shang Xia" on the top, and her life and deeds were written in small characters next to it.
As soon as Xiao Ning stood up, the soldiers behind him stood up as well.
Finally, he bowed deeply towards the grave.
Everyone turned and left.
Only a lonely grave is left standing quietly.
The unburned paper money curled up and floated in the air, spinning...
…
Since Yuzhu and the others are safe and sound, and Furong has come to Shang Xi's side, then the attack on Shengjing City... should be put on the agenda.
Xiao Ning summoned Li Yuan and others to the tent to discuss matters.
Furong subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but was stopped by Xiao Ning.
"Aunt Furong is the person who knows the situation in Shengjing best here now, so it's okay to stay and listen."
Furong looked at Shang Xi.
Seeing Shang Xi nod slightly at her, Furong stayed.
Among the generals promoted by Xiao Ning, half came from the Jingji camp and were familiar with the terrain of Shengjing.
Everyone was expressing their opinions when they suddenly heard a commotion outside.
"I'm not a spy! I'm here to look for Miss Furong!"
"What Miss Hibiscus? I'm Miss Peony! Brother, you have to make up a decent excuse. Come to the camp to find the girl..."
"You might as well have said you were here to join the army!"
"Master Jun, I really came here to look for you, Miss Furong..."
"I'm the manager of Taiping Villa. Before Miss Furong left, she told me to come here and find her if I need anything..."
"Hmph, if you have anything to say, go tell our brothers in the interrogation camp!"
The tent curtain was suddenly pulled open.
A few people looked over subconsciously and saw a beautiful girl in elegant clothes walking towards them.
"Miss Furong!"
The tied man saw Furong and shouted.
"When did Miss Furong come to the camp? I've never seen her before..."
"Anyone who comes out of the general's tent is definitely not an ordinary person."
Xiao Ning and others followed Furong out.
Several people hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted.
"General, this man has been acting suspiciously outside the camp. I suspect he's a spy, so I've captured him!"
Furong turned around and explained, "Your Highness, Prince Consort, this is the manager of Taiping Villa, his name is Wang Yong..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning raised his hand and signaled for the others to untie Wang Yong.
Furong asked Wang Yong, "What's going on? I just left at noon, and you came back now. What's the important matter?"
Wang Yong, who was now free, quickly took out a letter and handed it to Furong, "Miss Furong, this is a letter from the palace."
There is a blood-red plum blossom on the envelope, which means it is very urgent and important news.
Furong opened the envelope and took a look at it. Her expression suddenly became solemn. She handed the letter to Shang Xi.
After Shang Xi finished reading it, his expression didn't change much.
He handed the letter to Xiao Ning again.
Xiao Ning took it and took a look. The general content was: the old emperor died, the second prince kept the death a secret, and the palace guards came and went, and no one knew what they were doing.
She glanced at Shang Xi and Furong.
When the Second Prince was on the alert, their people were still able to send the message out.
I don’t know how many palace servants he bribed and how many connections he made.
I can only say that it was fortunate that she and Shang Xi did not end up on opposite sides, otherwise...
Shang Xi said: "Aning, it seems we have to act in advance."
Xiao Ning nodded, "Isn't it?"
The emperor passed away, but the second prince kept the news a secret. I think it was to lure the two fish from the Shen family. There will definitely be a fierce battle in Shengjing that night.
Wouldn't that be a good opportunity for them to take advantage of the situation?
If we don't attack tonight, after tomorrow, no matter who wins, if we want to fight again, it will definitely not be as comfortable as tonight.
Xiao Ning issued an order, asking the soldiers to rest immediately and go to the capital to defend the king at night!
The generals took their orders and left. Li Yuan said to Furong and Wang Yong, "I've arranged tents for you two. You two might as well rest for a while."
Xiao Ning showed Li Yuan the letter just now, and Li Yuan naturally knew the current situation.
It’s not that I don’t trust anyone, but today, no one is allowed to leave the camp without permission unless it is necessary.
Furong knelt down and bowed, saying thank you.
Li Yuan took his men away, and Xiao Ning and Shang Xi turned around and returned to the tent.
"Aning, let's attack at night. I'll follow you."
Xiao Ning refused: "No, the sword will have no eyes, what if I hurt you?"
Thinking of Shang Xi's dying appearance in Cangzhou, Xiao Ning felt panicked and short of breath.
Shang Xi said, "I have been planning this in Shengjing for many years. My identity hasn't been completely exposed yet, so I can help you."
"If nothing else, at least I can help you open the palace gate."
Xiao Ning: “…”
If the palace gate could be opened without resorting to force, a lot of manpower could indeed be saved.
Xiao Ning was silent for a moment, then said, "Give me a token that can convince them."
Shang Xi: "...Where did the token come from? Those people were all subjugated by me when I was in the palace. They only recognize me as a person, not a dead thing."
Xiao Ning looked at Shang Xi, "Are you deliberately trying to trick me just to follow me?"
Shang Xi was angry. "Why would I lie to you? I'm doing this for you, and you're still doubting me?"
"I've revealed my life secret to everyone, do you still think I want to fight you for the world?"
"Even if I wanted to fight, you've already recruited all my people. Furong and I are also in your hands. What else can I use to fight you?"
Xiao Ning's mouth twitched. She wanted to pull Shang Xi's hand, but was pushed away.
He turned his head away in anger and didn't look at Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning stepped forward and hugged him tightly, ignoring his struggle.
She rested her chin on his shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "I didn't doubt you. I was just worried that you'd get hurt. That time in Cangzhou, I was really scared..."
When it comes to life and death, she doesn't dare to gamble, even if the probability is only one in ten thousand, she doesn't dare to gamble.
Shang Xi didn't expect this to be the reason. He was stunned and his heart couldn't help but swell.
He really likes the feeling of being cherished by her and worried about her...
Shang Xi raised his hand and hugged the person tighter.
"Aning, I'll be fine. I want to grow old with you."
After so much difficulty in getting together with Aning, he wanted to live a long life with Aning, sleep with her in life and study with her in death.
