Chapter 347 I Can Only Embroider
Feng Aoqing and his companions rode their horses and stopped at a certain distance outside the camp.
After all, it was night and we were not familiar with this place, so we decided to stop and rest and continue our journey after daybreak.
Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding, and no one asked him where he was going. It seemed that the three of them had also made a great determination, that is, they would go wherever Feng Aoqing went.
There are some small streams on this meadow from time to time. The source is unknown and the water volume is not large, but it is very clear and can be drunk directly.
An Jinge collected some firewood and built a small fire to keep out wild animals.
Feng Aoqing then asked why Yuan Zhenkuan came back.
Yuan Zhenkuan said: "I am very disappointed with the Tianyao court."
"How do you say that?"
"I originally thought that Prince Han was devoted to teaching, but I didn't expect that they were just secretly holding these scholars in their hands so that they could threaten their parents at the critical moment."
Feng Aoqing was a little surprised to hear him say this. She didn't know about this and hadn't even thought about it.
"This is what Ning Pengtian told me. He is close to Prince Han, but the reason he is close to him is only because he comes from an ordinary family and can't cause any trouble. I can't let him escape with me." Speaking of his good brother, Yuan Zhenkuan gritted his teeth.
"You are doing this for his own good. Given your situation back then, it would have been dangerous for him to be with you." Feng Aoqing patted his shoulder to comfort him.
Yuan Zhenkuan nodded and continued, "My father was devoted to Tianyao. He never expected that when he got into trouble, no one would stand up for him or say a word for him. So if I give everything for Tianyao like my father did in the future, I will get the same result as him."
Feng Aoqing held a piece of firewood in his hand and knocked it, and a string of sparks came out of it.
She laughed and said, "You are quite sober."
Yuan Zhenkuan smiled miserably. This awakening came at the cost of his father's life, and the price was too high.
"If I had known you didn't want to go back, I would have let you stay with General Feng. He's not an ordinary person. I'm sure he'll be able to appreciate your talent and recommend you a position. If you work hard, it will definitely be better than staying in Tianyao."
Yuan Zhenkuan shook his head and said, "You were the first one to appreciate me! That's why I want to follow you."
Feng Aoqing smiled: "I'm just a woman, why are you following me? I just drink tea and embroider. What future can you achieve by following me?"
Yuan Zhenkuan was furious when he heard this. He said, "Oh my God, everyone knows that you built Hantian Valley and even embroidered the flowers. Please let those flowers go!"
Siyan also took a piece of firewood and knocked Yuan Zhenkuan's leg: "Brother, I don't know if the other words are right, but your last sentence is indeed right. Our master should let that flower go! The needle in her hand is used to prick people, not cloth."
"You can follow me for the time being, and travel outside if you want. But you should still write a letter back to reassure Madam Yuan. She must be worried about you now!" Feng Aoqing advised.
"Yes, I understand. As long as you do business, you will definitely need me." Yuan Zhenkuan was very proud.
"Why, do you have the capital or the strength?" Si Yan didn't know his ability, so she teased him.
"Your outfit cost a total of one hundred and twenty-three and a half taels." Yuan Zhenkuan looked at Siyan and said.
"This..." Siyan frowned and counted on her fingers, it was about right.
"There are three battalions of defenders in Yinjia City, with a total of 2,400 people, so the gap is about 100 people." Yuan Zhenkuan continued.
This time, it was An Jinge who was surprised. She had only found out after taking a peek at the booklet that there were a total of 2,560 people.
"How do you know? You didn't enter the camp."
"Looking at the size and quantity of the tents, the number of horses, and the spacing between water points, they are almost accurate. Once we enter the camp, we can count every single person accurately." Wu Zhenkuan was so proud.
"Ao Qing, if he can't be used by Zhao Jing, tell me."
Feng Aoqing smiled and nodded.
"Where are you from? Do you want to use me too?"
"I am from Zhaojing. If you cannot be used by us, then I will make sure that you cannot be used by anyone else."
Yuan Zhenkuan finally understood and hid behind Feng Aoqing: "Use it! I must use it! I am loyal! My sister is from Zhaojing!"
The four of them sat down to rest.
Feng Aoqing couldn't sleep, so she went to the stream to wash her hands.
An Jinge, who was on night watch, also stood up and followed.
"Don't you love those flowing light beads so much? Even if you gather all nine of them, you don't want them?" An Jinge asked.
Feng Aoqing smiled: "Not interested."
"Is it the beads that are not interested, or is it the people?"
"None."
"Don't worry, I'm standing here, I'm not anyone's person, I'm just your lifelong friend." An Jinge was originally Mo Beiyuan's person. She was afraid that Feng Aoqing was still thinking about this identity, so she would not open up to her.
"I know. I think his last name is Yu, not Feng."
"Yu? Yuanwu royal family?"
"Well, their people don't call him General, but Lord. Lord, that's much more senior than Master! And the Lengyan Army was the hidden army of Emperor Yuanwu's youth. He must have trusted Feng Ting very much to be able to lead it. He was only in his teens at the time. Who else could he trust except his passionate brothers?"
"Well, there should be children in the clan with the same aspirations. Calling him a king or a prince would reveal one's status. Calling him Lord is fine, and it's more respectful than calling him Master."
Feng Aoqing nodded.
An Jinge understood. She had experienced King Yonglin and King Yu, and was involved in their power struggle. She was exhausted both physically and mentally.
She has no interest in anyone, be it a general or a prince.
"You should go back! I have Siyan and Zhenkuan with me now, so it's okay." Feng Aoqing advised.
"Publicly, I have resigned from the position of commander of the Jade Wing Guard and do not need to return to the capital. Personally, I have severed ties with Mo Nanzhou and do not need to return to the capital. If you do not want to join me, then I will leave."
"I'm impressed by you. How could I not want to be with you?"
The next morning, the four of them set out on their journey, walking along the border, their destination being the Kingdom of Nankang.
I heard that there are many rare medicines there, so Feng Aoqing wants to go and take a look and collect some of them into her space.
They walked and stopped, and before they reached Nankang Kingdom, An Jinge received the news.
Mo Beiyuan led his army across the river boundary. In order to avoid war, Tianyao declared himself a vassal state and announced it to the world.
King Yuwensinian of Tianyao was seriously ill and passed the throne to Crown Prince Yuwen Han.
At this point, Mo Beiyuan had opened up all the channels for northward expansion.
Yuanwu has not taken any action.
"Zhao Jing is expanding his territory this time, but Yuan Wu hasn't taken any action?" An Jinge handed the letter to Feng Aoqing.
Feng Aoqing didn't answer, she had thought of it a long time ago.
"Yuanwu is not standing still, but his ambition is not to move north." Feng Aoqing has looked at the map of Jiuzhou thousands of times and has already known it by heart. There is no need to take it out now.
"That's? Dong?"
"Or, the second brother has already made an agreement with Emperor Yuanwu. One of them will go north, and the other will go east, and then they will join forces to divide the world into two." Feng Aoqing replied.
When mentioning Mo Nanzhou, An Jinge was speechless again.
If I follow him, I will hurt myself; if I don't follow him, I will hurt both of us. It will be a difficult road in the end.
"He must have put all his energy into growing that brain." An Jinge took a deep breath.
"I think the same is true for Emperor Yuanwu. The two have similar experiences, having endured humiliation for many years, so they should sympathize with each other."
Feng Aoqing and his companions also passed through several cities in Yuanwu, and found that they were indeed much better managed than ordinary countries.
