When Fang Zhiran said this, Wang Wentian guessed that he was about to recommend himself, so he waited quietly for Fang Zhiran to speak.
As expected, Fang Zhiran continued, "If the general trusts me, I am willing to be a peace envoy to the Jin Kingdom to discuss the matter of retaking Luancheng."
Wang Wentian didn't know if it was okay or not: "I understand your idea, but this matter needs to be discussed later."
Fang Zhiran knew that Wang Wentian would not agree to his request right away, so he was not in a hurry and said with a bow, "Yes."
Wang Wentian hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I heard your concubine came to Northern Frontier?"
Fang Zhiran's face flushed instantly. It was impossible to hide this matter from Wang Wentian, but when Wang Wentian asked him in person, Fang Zhiran still felt ashamed.
Wang Tian asked, "I still have to remind you of something. Now that you're in the military camp, you still have to take care of your household chores."
Fang Zhiran felt ashamed and guilty, and could only agree repeatedly.
There was another thing that Wang Wentian was very worried about. In the military camp, ordinary soldiers did not have their own tents. Only those above the rank of commander had tents. He was afraid that Fang Zhiran was eager for quick success and wanted to earn military merits for the sake of his concubine, so he asked to go to the Kingdom of Jin for peace talks.
If that was the case, Wang Wentian really didn't feel comfortable letting Fang Zhiran go.
So after a brief pause, Wang Wentian asked, "You're not doing this because of her..."
Fang Zhiran denied it repeatedly, "No. I really want to contribute to the recovery of the northern border for the Great Chu, I have no other intentions. She...she was not summoned by me, and I don't know anything about her. I will persuade her to return to Wangjing as soon as possible, and I will definitely not let her affect military affairs."
"Hmm." Wang Wentian hummed. He could feel that Fang Zhiran was a smart man. When talking to smart people, there was no need to waste words. Just get to the point.
The next day, Wang Wentian called a meeting of all the soldiers. Someone expressed the concern that Fang Zhiran lacked experience and would suffer a loss in the negotiations.
Wang Wentian said, "Of course, we won't let him go alone. The military advisor will go with him to the Jin Kingdom. But on the other hand, our deployment of troops is also very important. A strong military force will give them the confidence to negotiate."
No one raised any objections, and the matter was settled.
With the cooperation of Wang Wentian and Fang Zhiran, Luancheng was finally recovered and the Jin soldiers retreated hundreds of miles away.
Later, Wang Wentian was summoned back to Wangjing by His Majesty to get married, so Fang Zhiran was temporarily appointed as a general to guard the northern border for Wang Wentian.
He Yinxue has been in Northern Xinjiang for such a long time, but Fang Zhiran has never accepted her.
Now Fang Zhiran has his own tent, and He Yinxue no longer has to live with the maids who change clothes, so she moved into Fang Zhiran's tent.
There was only one bed in the tent. At first, Fang Zhiran would sleep on the ground, but later he found that in the northern border, the ground would become damp after nightfall. After winter came, the weather became colder day by day, and it was not convenient for Fang Zhiran to sleep on the ground anymore. So the two of them slept in the same bed, but Fang Zhiran never touched He Yinxue.
He Yinxue was not in a hurry. After all, there was no other woman around Fang Zhiran in the Northern Frontier. She still had a lot of time. She didn't believe that Fang Zhiran could remain indifferent to her.
That day, Fang Zhiran took his troops out for training early in the morning, and only He Yinxue was in the tent. Meng'er lifted the curtain and came in, telling He Yinxue a piece of news.
"News came from Wangjing City that the Emperor has granted Miss Shen marriage to His Royal Highness Prince Yi." Meng'er said.
"Prince Yi?" He Yinxue still felt uncomfortable when these two words were mentioned. She remembered the embarrassment that His Royal Highness Prince Yi had caused her at the hairpin banquet that day. If it weren't for Prince Yi, how could she be ridiculed and excluded among the celebrities and nobles who went to the capital.
What she hated even more was Chen Liyue. She had clearly set up a trap to frame Chen Liyue that day, but in the end she was drugged. Although she married into the Yong'an Marquis Mansion as she wished, she was only a concubine. All this happened because of Chen Liyue.
What's more, she knows a secret that no one else knows.
That is, Fang Zhiran has always been obsessed with Shen Liyue.
Because she had heard Fang Zhiran call Shen Liyue's name in his dream.
He Yinxue had also seen it when she was packing up Fang Zhiran's things. Among a pile of military documents, there were several portraits of Shen Liyue.
He Yinxue found it incredible and couldn't believe it. Fang Zhiran had only met Chen Liyue a few times, but he was so deeply in love with her?
Now that Chen Liyue has been granted marriage, it is actually a good thing. It will also let Fang Zhiran know that Chen Liyue is not someone he can covet. Chen Liyue already has an engagement, and that person is Prince Yi.
Although Fang Zhiran was good enough for He Yinxue, he could not be compared with King Yi after all.
It’s time for Fang Zhiran to wake up.
So when Fang Zhiran returned to the tent that night, He Yinxue went to greet him.
Fang Zhiran seemed to be in a good mood today. He Yinxue took off his armor for him and said softly, "My Lord, have you received the news from Wangjing City? You look so happy today."
Fang Zhiran said "hmm". Ever since he refused his mother's request to return to Beijing for the New Year, his mother had been so angry that she had not written to him. Today, she finally wrote to him. Although she was still looking forward to his return to Beijing, Fang Zhiran was still very happy to receive a letter from his mother.
It is impossible not to miss home when you are away from home. Although Fang Zhiran cannot return to Wangjing as his mother wishes, he still hopes that his mother can take care of herself.
Fang Zhiran knows that it is not easy for his mother to raise him alone, and he is always grateful for his mother's kindness. Although his mother cannot understand him at the moment, he believes that when he really achieves success and returns triumphantly, his mother will still be proud of him.
He also wants to give his mother a better life through his own efforts.
What's more, he has seen hope now. When Wang Wentian returned to Wangjing, he asked him to temporarily take over the position of general. Isn't this an affirmation of him?
Seeing the corners of his mouth curled up, He Yinxue continued, "General Wang, oh, he's now the Marquis of Zhenbei. The Marquis of Zhenbei and Prince Yi got married one after another. Wangjing has been really happy these days!"
"Prince Yi's wedding?" Fang Zhiran was a little surprised, because his mother's letter home did not mention this matter. Prince Yi had never married, but now he was going to get married. Fang Zhiran couldn't help but feel curious.
"Which girl does Prince Yi want to marry?" Fang Zhiran asked.
He Yinxue pursed her lips and smiled, "My Lord, you don't know yet? We all know this girl. She's my cousin!"
Fang Zhiran still thought that the cousin she was talking about was Chen Lijiao, and immediately said, "That's impossible."
Chen Lijiao's engagement was rejected by the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion. Prince Yi couldn't have been unaware of this, and even the Emperor couldn't have granted Chen Lijiao's marriage to Prince Yi.
So Fang Zhiran subconsciously denied He Yinxue's words.
He Yinxue said, "How is it impossible? My cousin and Prince Yi have known each other for a long time. Could it be that the Marquis has forgotten that she and Prince Yi also opened a farm together?"
Fang Zhiran was struck by lightning, "Which cousin are you talking about?"
