Chapter 240 Preparing for Zhang Jing
Chapter 240 Getting Ready to Return to Beijing
Seven days have passed since the last war
Yecheng
Xu Shijie not only defeated the Northern Qi allied forces in one fell swoop, but also captured this important city in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
What about Li Chengqian?Because there will be no more wars in the short term, he was also happy to relax and moved directly into the prefect's mansion. At the moment, he was watching the Yecheng prefect's daughter, Gu Qing'er, perform a song and dance for him in the hall of the prefect's mansion.
"Your Highness, Haitang Duoduo, the Holy Maiden of the Northern Qi Dynasty, asks to see you."
After a song and dance, Gu Qing'er returned to Li Chengqian's case and served him to eat fruit; at this time, Qian Chunqiang stepped forward to report.
"Begonia Duoduo? Hmph, let her in."
Li Chengqian probably knew why this woman who had escaped threw herself into the trap.
"Your Highness, do you want to avoid this slave?"
Seeing that other people had left under Qian Chunqiang's signal, Gu Qing'er asked softly.
"No, Qing'er, you are so well-behaved, how could Gu be willing to do so?"
Li Chengqian put his arms around Gu Qing'er's slender waist, pulled her into his arms, took a sip on her face, and then teased.
When I came here, I was ready to give up my dignity, but when I got to this point, Haitang Duoduo found that she still couldn't do it.
"My concubine Haitang Duoduo, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Qing..."
After saying this, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength.
Calling herself a lowly concubine, she looks a bit begging, but Li Chengqian didn't intend to let her go so easily.
"Didn't you leave? Since you don't want to be a lonely concubine, what are you doing back?"
"Dodo has something to ask."
"Is there anything you want to ask for? What is your identity? A saint of the Northern Qi Dynasty?"
Li Chengqian said noncommittal.
"The concubine is willing to be His Highness's woman, and please His Highness let the 8 soldiers of Qi Kingdom survive."
Haitang Duoduo knelt down on the ground, begged Li Chengqian after paying a big gift.
In the battle that night, except for Uesugi Tiger who successfully broke through with a small number of cavalry, the other Northern Qi soldiers became prisoners of Nanqing, and the number was [-].
"Humph"
Li Chengqian pushed Gu Qing'er away from his arms, got up and walked towards Begonia Blossoming.
"Are you negotiating conditions with Gu? 8 soldiers will be your selling money, Haitang Duoduo, you think too highly of yourself, don't you?"
Compared with Fan Xian who integrated into the current society without forgetting his identity as a modern person; Li Chengqian is much more thorough.
Now, the morality and values of the previous life can no longer constrain his behavior.
"Your Highness, Haitang only asks you to give them a way out."
Nanqing's food and grass are more than enough for its own soldiers, but it is too short to bring the 8 soldiers of Northern Qi.
It was impossible to let them go and let them fend for themselves, so the idea of killing prisoners came into being.
"It's not impossible to survive. As the saint of the Northern Qi Dynasty, you help me persuade the stubborn forces that are still resisting around Yecheng."
Li Chengqian put forward his conditions.
"Your Highness..."
"Why, can't you?
Qing'er's father can also help the orphan to appease the people of Yecheng. If you can't do this, why should you be an orphan?
It's not a lonely woman, why do you let the lonely give them a way out. "
Li Chengqian said unceremoniously that he not only wanted the recalcitrants to surrender, but also cut off Haitang Duoduo's retreat.
"If you can't do it, forget it. I don't value these things very much. It's just a waste of life."
"Your Highness, Haitang can..."
Li Chengqian's tone of indifference to human life forced Haitang Duoduo to make a decision.
"You just left?"
When Haitang Duoduo got up and was about to leave, Li Chengqian stopped her again.
"Your Highness..."
"I was very dissatisfied with your performance last time. It just so happens that Qing'er is here today. Let her teach you what it means to be a bed attendant."
Hearing that there is a priority in teaching, and there is a specialization in art, Li Chengqian took advantage of the situation and arranged for Haitang Duoduo to be a teacher.

"Good news, good news from the front line"
Yiqi Juechen, eight hundred miles in a hurry, the battle report from the front line was sent to the imperial capital.
Xingqing Palace
"My lord, there is good news from the front line."
Eunuch Hou came to announce the good news to Emperor Qing with a smile.
"Oh, there is good news so soon, I will show it to you."
Knowing Xu Shijie's character, if it wasn't for Dasheng, he wouldn't be so serious about it.
"Okay, this kid really has a bit of my demeanor back then..."
After only watching the beginning, Emperor Qing applauded.
"What's wrong, my lord?"
Eunuch Hou is very good at this.
"The crown prince made a surprise attack on Wuchao and burned all the food and grass of the Qi army. Xu Shijie went down in the first battle and captured 8 people from the Qi army. We celebrated the victory of this national war..."
Emperor Qing had always been happy and angry, but Eunuch Hou hadn't seen this kind of situation for more than ten years.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, this servant congratulates you on the National Day..."
"Hmph, that's not the end yet; Xu Shijie also said that they are going to attack Yecheng. Based on my understanding of him, I'm not fully sure. He won't write this in the victory report. Maybe Yecheng has fallen now."
After reading the good news, Emperor Qing was even more proud.
"Yecheng is an important town in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Once you pass Yecheng, you can pass through Jiaoguan, Changchun Pass, and Wuguan and you will be able to approach the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Marshal Xu is going to make a contribution to destroying the country."
Eunuch Hou continued to flatter Tao.
"It's not enough to destroy the country. Although there are only these three major passes from Yecheng to Shangjing, the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the strategic depth in the middle is more than a thousand miles."
Complacent but not forgetful, it is not unreasonable for Emperor Qing to be the winner all these years.
"The icing on the cake, this slave has a piece of good news to congratulate His Majesty..."
"Oh, what good news, is it worth telling me now, you dog slave?"
Emperor Qing scolded with a smile.
"Returning to the Holy One, this servant just got the news that the imperial physician of the Eastern Palace checked the princess's pulse yesterday, and found out the happy pulse."
"Oh, is this news true?"
Just thinking about how to transfer Li Chengqian back, suffering from no good reason, Emperor Qing frowned when he heard the news.
"How dare a slave make fun of such a thing."
Eunuch Hou quickly promised.
"That's it, then pass on my will to the prince, saying that the princess is happy, and let him return to Beijing as soon as possible."
Others are afraid that their friends will suffer, and they are also afraid that their friends will drive away. Emperor Qing is not, because he has no friends; but he also has his own fears.
He was afraid that his son would be a coward, and he was also afraid that his son would be as fierce as a tiger. He transferred Li Chengqian back to the capital at this moment because he was afraid that he would not lose his head.

Fanfu
Fan Jian and Liu Ruyu also got the news that Fan Ruoruo was happy, and told Fan Xian the news.
"What, Ruoruo has it?"
Fan Xian didn't show much joy.
"Yes, Ruoruo is indeed a blessed one. If she can give birth to a baby boy this time, she will be the grandson of the emperor."
Liu Ruyu was sincerely happy for her daughter, and also happy for the prosperity and wealth of the Fan family in the next few decades.
"Why, you seem a little unhappy?"
Fan Jian frowned and said, he thought it was because Fan Xian still had a grudge against the prince.
"Father, if you give birth at this age, there will be no danger, right?"
Fan Xian expressed his worries.
"What's the matter? I was one year younger than Ruoruo when I gave birth to Sizhe."
Liu Ruyu said unceremoniously, she felt that Fan Xian was a little out of touch.
