Chapter 15? Thanks? (Part 1)
"Princess Anle? She wants to see me?" Zhang Qian frowned quickly and refused without hesitation. "You go to reply to her for me, just say that I am in a military camp and cannot receive outsiders without the will of the emperor."
Although Li Xian died of a sudden heart attack in this time and space, instead of being poisoned, he still lacked any favors to Princess Anle. Every time he mentioned this person, an unreasonable and low IQ flashed immediately before his eyes, and the idea of staying away from him came to his mind.
"Yes!" Ren Qi bowed and agreed, but did not leave immediately. Instead, hesitated and added in a low voice, "Shangtu Protector, she just showed the emperor's handwriting at the gate of the camp, saying that she came to meet at the order of the emperor, and the last general did not dare to verify the authenticity."
"What? Whose order was taken?" Zhang Qian was slightly stunned, then sneered and wrote a full face, "She actually brought the New Emperor's handwriting with him? That's right, the New Emperor is only fifteen years old. As the New Emperor's sister, why is it difficult for her to ask for a handwriting? But when did she start to learn to follow the rules? Besides the handwriting, what else did she bring, and how many followers are there around her?"
"There are only two maids, four guards and a coachman." Ren Qi thought for a while and replied truthfully, "She did follow the rules this time. After arriving at the gate of the military camp, she got off the car and asked for a report, and then waited honestly in the snow."
"Hmm?" Zhang Qian became more and more surprised and became more and more alert when he heard it.
This is not the Princess Anle he knew before. Princess Anle used to regard herself as a creditor to all the world. Even if she asked someone else for medicine to help her life, she would show her a picture that I took you, which would look down on you. But now, Princess Anle actually learned to wait in the snow. This change is too big! It is really impossible not to mistakenly think that the soul of another person has been replaced in her body.
"The courtesy must be something for others. Be careful, senior brother!" Guo Nu didn't have much good impression of Princess Anle, so he gently pulled Zhang Qian's sleeve and reminded solemnly, "With her temperament, the more she follows the rules, the harder she can satisfy her appetite."
"It must be so, but she is prepared today, and I'm afraid it's hard for me to keep her out!" Zhang Qian thought for a while, and his answer was full of helplessness, "Prince Ren, go out and take her to the Central Army tent to serve tea, and then inform Zhang Xu, Zhang Si'an, Lu Dechuan, Yang Chengliang, Qiu Ruofeng, Zhou Quji and Guo Qi, let them come with me to wait for me, and then go with me to pay homage to Princess Anle. I need some time to clean up so that she can smell the smell of wine and pick bones in the eggs."
After saying that, he quickly turned his head to Guo Nu, "You go back to the village first and arrange people to help me prepare grease, cotton and silk. By the way, prepare everything you need to go to Ganzhou to take office."
"Yes!" Ren Qi and Guo Nu bowed and took the order and left one after another. Zhang Qian quickly called a few more personal soldiers to help him fetch water and wash his face and pack up his clothes.
When he cleaned his whole body and covered the smell of white wine with a little dew. Zhang Xu, Yang Chengliang, Zhou Quji, Guo Qi and others also arrived. Everyone had a brief exchange, and then they cheered up and went to the Central Army tent.
Princess Anle Li Guer had been waiting in the central army tent for a long time, but she did not show any impatientness. Seeing Zhang Qian and others wearing military uniforms entering in a row, they immediately stood up politely to greet him: "Thank you Zhang Duhu, thank you all the generals. I took the liberty to come and disturb you, don't blame Zhang Duhu!"
"Don't dare! The general of the Imperial Princess will arrive at a snowy night. If he is not prepared, please forgive me!" Zhang Qian stopped and avoided him. Then, he stood up and held his fists and formally saluted the other party. "The general of the Imperial Princess Zhang Qian, please forgive me for holding the armor on his body, and he cannot give the full gift!"
"I am welcome to the eldest princess!" Zhang Xu, Lu Dechuan, Yang Chengliang, Zhou Quji and others also followed Zhang Qian and stood up and held their fists at Princess Anle. In an instant, the sound of clanging armor was endless.
The general of war has invisible and colorless murderous aura on his body, but it is definitely not something that Princess Anle, a beautiful girl like the heavenly girl. Immediately, Princess Anle's body instinctively retreated back and retreated five or six feet away. Only then did I realize that I had lost my composure, so I quickly stood up again and raised my hand with a forced smile, "Dear generals, I don't have to be too polite. Today I am here for my own private life, so I can do whatever you want."
He turned his head and praised Zhang Qian softly, "People say that the camp of the Sailing Ye Army has a faint scent of the ancient Xiliu Camp. I was a little unbelievable before. When I saw it today, the rumors are really not to deceive me!"
"The brothers are all veterans who have been fighting for the rest of their lives. They have too much murderous aura. The generals dare not let them run around in the city, so they are usually more restrictive!" Zhang Qian thought for a while and explained loudly. The young face was as calm as the water at the bottom of the well.
"So that's it." Princess Anle did not successfully bring the relationship between the two parties closer, but was not angry, and just nodded gently. Then, her eyes fell on Yang Chengliang's face, and suddenly, she was browsing, "This is General Yang who captured the Chengzong of Geluo Khan alive, and the founding king of Liucheng? I have heard of your name for a long time, but I haven't found a chance to meet! Come, come, walk in some, let me see carefully, what a heroic figure in the world of Mulan!"
"The last general..." had never been so exaggerated. Yang Chengliang's face suddenly turned red without knowing his mistake.
"Princess Anle is the real sister of the current emperor. General Yang, you don't have to be too restricted." Zhang Qian couldn't help laughing in his heart when he saw it. Then, he gave Yang Chengliang a soft order.
Yang Chengliang was famous for capturing the Gloru Khan Chengzong alive. He was also looked up by Empress Wei because he was a daughter. Therefore, when the court was discussing merits, he received an extraordinary reward and was directly promoted to the fifth-ranking general, and was appointed General Mingwei, and was awarded the title of founding prince. He was definitely a success.
However, her temperament did not change at all because of her official position and title. She still rarely saw a smile on her face, and she never liked to turn around when speaking.
Among the entire Sacred Ye Army, the person she admired the most was Zhang Qian. Therefore, when she heard the latter's order, even if she was reluctant, she moved her steps out, walked a little behind half a foot than Zhang Qian, and greeted Princess Anle again, "I finally paid homage to the princess Yang Chengliang."
"Okay, okay!" The breathing was almost stagnant by the murderous aura that came to his face. Princess Anle forced herself to keep her back and did not retreat. After adapting for a moment, she tried to move forward two steps, stretched out her hand, and supported Yang Chengliang's arm, "What a manly Mulan. You fought for the women all over the world. I admire you very much!"
As she spoke, in order to show her closeness, she tried to smooth Yang Chengliang's body with a little force. However, her body was as hard as a stone sculpture, and it didn't move at all.
Now, it was a little embarrassed. Instantly, Princess Anle also blushed. Fortunately, Zhang Qian reacted quickly enough and quickly smoothed the scene beside him. "The eldest princess doesn't know that the armor on General Yang is made of fine steel. Twenty steps away, it is difficult to break the crossbow. It's just that the flexibility is a little less, and it's difficult for a person to move as long as he wears it."
"Ah?" Princess Anle glared at her peach blossom eyes in surprise, then smiled and shook her head, "No wonder my fingers touched it, it felt like it had an iron lump. It turned out to be a heavy steel armor. As the saying goes, a sword is matched with a hero. It is such a armor that is worthy of a female hero like General Yang!"
"The princess is too much award, the word "hero" is so shameless!" Yang Chengliang then realized that he had just made Princess Anle hit a nail and quickly responded with a blushing face.
Her voice was not very soft at first, and she was used to treating herself as a man, so her words were muffled and had no warmth at all.
After hearing this, Princess Anle suddenly didn't know how to get close to her. She had to turn her eyes to Zhang Qian again and said with a smile: "General Yang is now in Suye Town, what is his official position? She is the example of women in the world. The Queen Mother and the Emperor of the Emperor have kept her name in their hearts. If Suye doesn't have a suitable position for the time being..."
"The last general plans to add 3,000 people to her subordinates, and then give her a city to her, and recommend her as the guardian of a city!" Zhang Qian interrupted without hesitation without giving Princess Anle the opportunity to poach people from her side, "Although there are not many cities in the jurisdiction of the Protectorate of Zhenxi, each of them is stuck in a key position. The area under the control of the area is hundreds of miles. Therefore, General Yang does not have to worry about not finding an opportunity to show his skills!"
"Oh, that's a pity!" Princess Anle's idea of poaching people was blocked, and she felt very unwilling to accept it. However, when her thoughts changed a little, she smiled again, "Can a woman guard the city on General Zhang? I am in the Central Plains. I only heard that there was a female censor under my grandmother back then, but I never heard that a woman can lead a battalion of troops and guard the country." (Note: The female censor refers to the historical legendary figure Xie Yaohuan. She is a legendary figure, and the official history may not be really such a person.)
"It is the wise emperor and the empress dowager who have appointed General Yang as the general!" Zhang Qian was always vigilant and his mind was changing rapidly. "So, General Yang simply followed the flow and aggrieved General Yang Lang to be a city guard. If General Yang Lang was a man, the same arrangements for her were given to her. General Yang only looked at his skills, regardless of gender."
"What a person only depends on his ability, not on men and women!" Princess Anle was not willing to let Zhang Qian change the topic easily, and continued to play the game with a smile. "Spread it, I don't know how many women in the world will be able to guard Zhang Zhenshou's words, and it will be revealed!"
"Actually, there is nothing we can do about it. There are few talents in Anxi. If the general is picky, there will be no one under his command!" Zhang Qianquan pretended not to understand and shook his head with a sneer.
"If I come to see you, Zhang Dugu is very jealous and dares to be the first in the world." Princess Anle smiled slightly, and her voice suddenly turned high. "Thinking of God, although people are divided into men and women, it is to balance yin and yang, it has never been stipulated that women must be willing to live under men. Back then, my great-great aunt led a large army and was in charge of Niangzi Pass, killing the Turks several times and fled. When my grandmother was in power, Xie Jingshi was upright and honest, which also made the treacherous ministers frightened."
‘Yes! There is also the female emperor, the only one in ancient times is your grandmother!’ Zhang Qian understood what the other party wanted to express, but he just smiled and waved his hand, “The eldest princess is too much. I am ashamed of being a good person. And a talented woman like General Yang cannot get a second one in hundreds of years. Therefore, Mo Jiang cherishes her very much!”
"Can you not be able to get a second one in a few hundred years?" Princess An Le felt very dissatisfied, and her thoughts were immediately deviated by Zhang Qian, "But I don't know what's special?"
"After sixty steps, the arrows are not empty. If you don't believe it, the princess can make someone stand a target and take the school exam on site." Zhang Qian waited for this sentence and responded decisively and loudly, "I will firmly believe that Chang'an City is full of talents. But if you can use a bow with one stone and a half-horn, hit a wooden target with a wooden step outside, and hit ten shots and ten shots, and the arrows and arrows penetrate the target to win the game, you can't find a second woman."
"Not to mention women, there are not many men." Qiu Ruofeng was amused by the side, but he forced himself to hold it in and not interrupt.
Looking at the other few powerful generals of the Ye Jun, they all lowered their heads and refused to contact Princess Anle, so as not to let the woman see that she had unknowingly brought her thoughts into the ditch by Zhang Qian.
"Cuihong, how about your shooting skills?" Princess Anle had never been to the battlefield and had no idea of the depth. After hearing Zhang Qian's serious statement, she became increasingly dissatisfied. She habitually turned her face to her close female official and asked loudly.
I thought that the latter was skilled in martial arts and would definitely volunteer to show off his skills and give him a face. Unexpectedly, the female official Cuihong, who usually kept arrows away from the bull's eye, lowered her head awkwardly, "Princess, the maid uses a soft bow. It's okay to hit the target, but the arrows cannot shoot deep."
"Why?" Princess Anle was very disappointed, and her eyebrows were habitually raised.
"The soft bow is insufficient to accumulate strength, and it is only suitable for practicing accurate heads in daily life." Although Yang Chengliang is straightforward, he is very kind-hearted. He heard that Princess Anle's tone was not good, so he took the initiative to explain, "When killing people on the battlefield, you must use a hard bow. Otherwise, it will be difficult to break the target armor. In fact, the last general is usually very sprinting so far. Usually forty steps is the limit. If the target exceeds forty steps, you would rather let it go first and wait until he reaches about thirty steps before taking his life!"
"Oh, so that's it!" Princess Anle nodded in admiration when she heard this. It's strange that she didn't want to be at a disadvantage when she was Zhang Qian. She didn't feel dissatisfied with Yang Chengliang, who was also a woman. Instead, she thought that Yang Chengliang was really able to treat him honestly.
"The general is not talented, but when he learns to use bows and arrows, he hides hatred in his heart. He always feels that the target is to kill Mo Jiang's parents' enemies. Over time, he shoots more and more accurately." Yang Chengliang has no good impression of Princess Anle, nor has he any bad impressions. After thinking about it, he continues to explain in a muffled voice. "And the female official around you has never suffered any grievances and has no hatred in his heart. Therefore, the arrow shot is powerless, and the one you usually choose is not a murderous bow."
"Yeah!" Princess Anle was convinced, smiled and nodded again, and looked at Yang Chengliang with a hot look.
"Princess, please sit down." Zhang Qian secretly shouted in his heart that something was wrong, and quickly raised his hand and led the position of the commander to Princess Anle." The princess said before that she came to the imperial edict. But she didn't know where the imperial edict was. What was the imperial edict? "Princess came to the military camp late at night, and why did it happen?"
"That's your handsome position. How can I sit down?" Princess Anle's eyes were immediately attracted by Zhang Qian's gestures. She thought about it and shook her head gently.
Before Zhang Qian could continue to be polite, she suddenly took a deep breath, then took two steps back and bowed to him, "Zhang Dugu is here, please accept Li Guerre's bow. His father suddenly passed away before the New Year, and the court and the country were in chaos. At that time, the ministers had their own thoughts. Only Zhang Dugu still remembered his father's kindness. Guanjia held a knife and kept a guard for him for nearly twenty days. We siblings, and we siblings, always remembered this matter, and didn't know how to repay..."
