Chapter 58 The armor of "General Wen" no longer belongs to her alone...
The war ahead was urgent, Wen Ying opened her eyes at dawn and put on silver armor.
This was the armor that the emperor had given specifically for Wen Ying. The silver glow of the armor was particularly eye-catching in the dim sky, like another bright moon.
"Miss, can't you really take Chuntao with you?" After helping Wen Ying tie the last knot on her wristband, Chuntao grabbed Wen Ying's hand and begged, "I'm not a weak woman who can't even lift a chicken. There's always something I can do to help."
Chuntao is good at disguise and onomatopoeia, and is an excellent logistical support staff, but her martial arts attainments are not high. If she goes to the front line, it will be difficult to guarantee her safety.
Therefore, facing Chuntao's plea, Wen Ying could only helplessly answer: "No..."
"Why not?"
A familiar voice came from outside the door, and Wen Ying froze.
Ever since she saw the marriage certificate last night, she felt a little overwhelmed, so much so that she went to bed on the pretext of being sleepy and avoided discussing the matter with Yan Jing.
She still didn't know how to face Yan Jing.
In her memory, no matter what kind of woman she was in the past, after getting married, she would be like a clay sculpture carved from the same mold.
Sitting in the narrow courtyard, counting the time for her husband to return, perhaps with a few more children around her.
The days are so peaceful and harmonious that you can see the end at a glance.
Perhaps this is what ordinary people call a happy time, and all women have lived like this for thousands of years.
But she is completely different from ordinary women.
She has seen mountains and rivers, heard the clanging of metal, and touched boiling blood.
Even in the most desolate times, there is always the breeze and the bright moon to accompany you.
Asking her to confine herself to a small space and wait for a predetermined ending.
How can she be willing?
But which man in the world doesn't want a virtuous and well-behaved wife?
She loves Yan Jing, but she also cannot give up everything she loves.
But at this moment, Chun Tao's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to ask Yan Jing outside the door loudly: "Really, Lord Yan? Can you take me with you?"
"Can't!"
"Can."
Wen Ying's anxious voice and Yan Jing's calm voice sounded at the same time, giving completely opposite answers.
Chuntao's eyes were dull, and she inexplicably felt like a child caught between her parents.
She glanced at Wen Ying, then at the closed door, and asked cautiously, "What exactly is...?"
Hearing this, Wen Ying frowned, took a deep breath and said:
"Of course not!"
"Of course you can."
Yan Jing's voice rang out again along with hers, and not only did he not give in, he even smiled.
Wen Ying could no longer endure it, and threw away all the shame and embarrassment. She quickly walked over, opened the door, and shouted outside: "What's okay? What if something goes wrong?!"
The metallic luster shines in the dawn light, making people dazed for a moment.
The man in light armor stood outside for an unknown period of time. When he heard the girl's voice, he just chuckled and tilted his head, with a look of triumph in his eyes: "Miss Wen, long time no see. I thought the next time I saw you would be in the barracks."
As the situation at the front was difficult to judge and the commander-in-chief was inexperienced, Yan Jing volunteered to accompany the army to assist.
The official duties that originally belonged to Yan Jing were handed over to the prince to handle.
Now that the position of the crown prince is undisputed, the emperor had always intended to let the prince assist in government affairs. This opportunity would be a good opportunity to train his abilities, which is exactly what he wants.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Yan Jing seems to be happier than anyone else.
Hearing the teasing in his tone, Wen Ying realized that she had been fooled by Yan Jing again. She glared at him angrily and said, "Is this why you said 'yes'?"
Just to trick her into talking to him?
"Of course not." Yan Jing's expression was innocent, "It's just that I have something to ask Miss Chuntao."
Chun Tao pointed at herself in confusion when she heard this: "Me?"
Yan Jing nodded gently, curled his lips and said, "Mr. Qianmian, please name a price."
Chun Tao opened her eyes slightly wide, and immediately jumped for joy: "I don't want any gold or silver, I just want to go to the war with you, young lady!"
"Nonsense!" Wen Ying moved sideways to block Chuntao, put her hands on her hips and glared at Yan Jing, "Whether it's Chuntao or Qianmian, they are both mine. You have to get my consent before you can do anything you want her to do!"
Chuntao wilted again.
Yan Jing looked at Wen Ying with a smile, his dark eyes curved: "Miss, do you know the answer to the question from a few days ago?"
Answer?
A sentence suddenly rang in Wen Ying's mind——
[My answer is already in your yard]
The red boxes piled up in the courtyard, the boxes filled with gold, and the red-bottomed gold-lettered...
She subconsciously looked away, feeling a little depressed: "I..."
But Yan Jing only said: "Do you know why His Royal Highness the Third Prince wants to collaborate with the enemy?"
"Ah?" Wen Ying looked up suddenly, looking into Yan Jing's smiling eyes, she realized that this was the question she had asked Yan Jing when the third prince was imprisoned that day.
She had tried to investigate the Third Prince's motives, but did not find the truth. In the past two days, her mind was full of troop deployment tactics and horse fodder and military rations. She had no time to investigate the matter, so she put it aside for the time being.
But how could she be looked down upon by Yan Jing?
"I know most of it." Wen Ying crossed her arms over her chest, put her fist against her chin, and spoke in a deep voice.
Seeing this, Yan Jing realized that she didn't know, so he lowered his eyes and suppressed his smile, saying softly, "That's great, then Miss should also know what I want Miss Chuntao to do."
"You won't stop me, will you?"
"!" Chuntao looked up and asked excitedly: "What does this mean?"
It's over. I jumped into a fire pit.
Wen Ying was in a dilemma and could only grit her teeth and hold Yan Jing's wrist: "If anything happens to Chuntao, I will not forgive you."
Unexpectedly, Yan Jing lowered his head and seemed to be in deep thought, muttering: "If you can't forgive me for the rest of my life, that doesn't seem to be a bad thing."
"You!" Wen Ying was so angry that she twisted the soft flesh on his palm, but she didn't dare to use too much force, "Yan Yunlang!"
"Hiss, Miss, please show some mercy." Yan Jing covered the back of Wen Ying's hand and gently stopped her movements. "Why don't you take a look at the gift I brought first?"
After saying that, he took Wen Ying's hand and led her out of the room, then turned sideways to reveal a wooden box behind him.
Unlike the gorgeous brocade boxes usually seen in Yan Jing's mansion, this box was plain and out of place.
Wen Ying saw the faint reflection on the box and was slightly stunned. Then, realizing something, she suddenly let go of Yan Jing's hand and quickly stepped forward to check.
There were countless tiny scratches on the wooden box, and there was also a very deep sword mark that penetrated three inches into the wood, almost piercing the box.
She could count the origins of every trace, and even touch upon the warm sunshine and nagging instructions of that time.
Wen Ying gently stroked the surface of the box, her palm slowly slid down, caressing the uneven lock, her eyes lowered to the word "Wen" on it.
[Dad, what's in here? ]
【You will know later. 】
She opened the wooden box, letting the sunlight shine into the long-dusty corner, reflecting a brilliant luster.
She couldn't help laughing and murmured, "When exactly did you prepare it..."
[When you are able to go to war with your father, I will give you a complete set of golden armor! Let my daughter become the most majestic female general! ]
The sun was shining from the horizon. Wen Ying wiped away the warmth in her eyes and looked at Yan Jing: "Where did you find it?"
The Wen family was sealed off and all their belongings were confiscated into the national treasury. How did Yan Jing bring it to him intact?
How do we know of its existence?
"Yeah, where did you find it?" Yan Jing chuckled and extended his hand to Wen Ying, "Let's talk on the way, General Wen."
“Includes answers to all questions.”
Hearing this address, Wen Ying pursed her lips slightly, placed her hand in his palm, and slowly stood up.
"General Wen" no longer belongs only to her father.
From today on, she is the head of the Wen family.
She needs to shoulder all the future and truth.
·
A soldier walked quickly to the carriage and bowed respectfully, saying, "General Wen, food, fodder, and weapons are all ready. Soldiers are ready to go. Please give your instructions, General."
After a moment, a dull voice came from the carriage: "Let's go."
Following this order, the horn sounded, and the cavalrymen mounted their horses at the same time and headed towards the border.
In a corner where no one was paying attention, the soldiers at the end whispered to each other: "Time is running out and the war cannot be delayed. Why do General Wen and Lord Yan want to take a carriage? Wouldn't it be faster to ride a horse?"
"After all, Lord Yan is from a noble family, and General Wen is just a little girl. She can't stand the hard work." Another soldier responded in a low voice.
Before the soldier could respond, he heard a deafening shout: "What are you whispering about over there? Why don't you speak louder so that General Wen can hear it too!"
The two of them immediately fell silent and dared not speak anymore.
Wen Ying looked around the surroundings, and saw green everywhere. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Yan Jing: "Why did you bring me here? The commander's figure should be visible to everyone to boost the morale of the troops. How can he stay aside?"
"General Wen, there are too many problems. Let's solve them one by one." Yan Jing withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Miss, the Third Prince has already established a certain foundation in Dahua. Why on earth would he secretly interact with the merchants of Qipo?"
Wen Ying began to think along the lines of Yan Jing's words, and after a moment she came up with the answer: "For the people's will?"
The third prince is powerful and influential, so the only difference between him and the crown prince is the people's support.
"General, you are smart." Yan Jing smiled approvingly and asked, "Faith is the easiest thing to win over the hearts of the people. When he ascends the throne, he can replace the supply of blood thorns with the connection with the Po Po, and support the [Suzaku Divine Religion] as the state religion. Everything will be justified and logical."
"Moreover, the funds available to the [Suzaku Cult] are also very considerable. With Gao Xuan taking the lead and His Royal Highness the Third Prince hiding behind the scenes, it is almost a hundred benefits with no harm at all."
Wen Ying nodded. As she listened, she suddenly realized something was wrong: "If that were the case, he wouldn't have to kill my father or collaborate with the enemy. He only had to..."
"He only needs the blood thorn. It's not difficult for him to deceive a merchant from the Qi Po." Yan Jing continued to add to Wen Ying's words. Looking at Wen Ying's increasingly serious expression, he raised the corner of his lips and said, "I think the general also understands that although His Royal Highness the Third Prince has connections with the Qi Po, he doesn't have to collaborate with the enemy at all."
"The collaborator is someone else."
The army passed through a bamboo forest with the rumbling of horse-drawn carriages and the sound of iron hooves. They did not notice that among the floating bamboo leaves, there were several pairs of cold eyes staring at the direction of the army's movement.
In an instant, dark shadows in the bamboo forest surged forward.
