AMLFS Chapter 106
by VolareThe army stayed in Yuanshi County for a few days, and good news came from the capital.
“Your Highness!” General Sikou Lanfeng, holding a letter from the capital, strode into the tent and presented the letter to Prince Zhao Fangye of the Ning district.
“News from the capital! Uncle Li and Uncle Yang’s troops have divided into three routes to garrison the outskirts of the capital, now waiting for your Highness’s order to capture the capital.”
Sikou Lanfeng received the news, her face full of excitement, and she couldn’t wait to report.
The two people she mentioned were the other two generals stationed on the frontier. Li Yuanwu and Yang Junliang were both generals who had a good relationship with Sikou Lanfeng’s father.
Both of them were loyal and martial, and had long been dissatisfied with the court’s inaction. After learning that the old General Sikou was willing to help Prince Zhao Fangye of the Ning district, they also joined Prince Zhao Fangye of the Ning district’s camp.
At this moment, other generals in the tent were also discussing matters, and when they heard Sikou Lanfeng’s words, everyone was stunned at first, and then everyone’s faces showed undisguised excitement.
“That’s great, now the prince has no worries.” Feng Zhen said first, his expression unable to suppress his excitement.
Soon they will overthrow the entire dynasty. He, a commoner from a poor background, can follow Prince Zhao Fangye of the Ning district to create such a great career, which can be regarded as living up to this life. Maybe he can be famous in history in the future.
The generals were happy for a while, and seeing that Prince Zhao Fangye of the Ning district, who was sitting behind the table, did not speak, they all quieted down and looked at him.
“Does your Highness still have any concerns?” Sikou Lanfeng asked when he saw him looking at the letter with a calm expression and not saying a word.
“No.” Prince Zhao Fangye of the Ning district put down the letter in his hand and looked at the generals: “How many troops does the court have now?”
Feng Zhen pondered for a moment and replied: “The court now has about 90,000 troops, and there should be tens of thousands in the capital.”
“In this way, our troops are on par with the court.” A general in the tent said.
“Not really.” Sikou Lanfeng corrected: “As far as I know, the court’s rapid expansion of troops is entirely based on forcibly conscripting a large number of strong men. These strong men have not undergone strict training, and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.”
“If that’s the case, then we should have a good chance of winning. Now we only need to break through Shiyuan County, and our army can drive straight in and enter the capital in one fell swoop.” Feng Zhen looked at Prince Zhao Fangye of the Ning district with an excited light, “Your Highness, please give the order.”
Feng Zhen’s words were also the heart of the people in the tent. They have been fighting hard for so long for this moment.
Everyone looked eagerly at Prince Zhao Fangye of the Ning district who was sitting behind the table: “Your Highness!”
Prince Zhao Fangye of the Ning district, his eyes fell on everyone. His expression remained the same, but a stern look spread in his light-colored eyes: “Pass on my military order, tomorrow the army will break through Shiyuan County in one fell swoop and head north to the capital!”
“Yes!”
Thousands of miles away, in an elegant courtyard, peaceful and serene, like a paradise, isolating the flying war.
The days gradually turned cooler, and the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves in the courtyard. Only the tall bamboo beside the low wall was still a good emerald green color.
The afternoon sun made people feel warm, Song Huaixi was wearing a stone blue gown, with a satin jacket outside. A sweet smile on his face.
Sitting on the threshold, Song Huaixi tried hard to throw the dead branches in his hand as high and as far as possible.
“Little Wolf! Go! Fetch it back!”
The puppy at his feet sat on the ground with a pair of round eyes staring at him, and when he heard his command, the yellow-brown figure scurried out.
In an instant, he found the dead branch on the ground and held it in his mouth, and ran back happily and placed it at Song Huaixi’s feet.
Repeating the previous action, the two round eyes sitting at Song Huaixi’s feet looked at him motionless.
Enjoying this game.
Song Huaixi reached out and touched its fluffy ears: “Little Wolf is amazing!”
Although they had been playing this little game for a while, Song Huaixi’s face did not show any impatience. He picked up the dead branches with great interest and threw them out again.
However, this time, the little wolf sitting at his feet did not rush out excitedly. Instead, he looked at the half-open courtyard door with great vigilance in his eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Song Huaixi followed its gaze and looked outside the door, but didn’t see anyone. He reached out and stroked Little Wolf’s head, “What are you looking at?”
Little Wolf stared intently at the door, and in the gap of staring at the door, he turned his head and licked the hand that Song Huaixi was stroking him with. Then he turned his head and looked outside the door again, his body tense and posing defensively in front of Song Huaixi.
“Woof woof woof woof!” Little Wolf suddenly barked at the door.
Song Huaixi didn’t know why, so he had to touch its head to comfort it: “What’s wrong with you…”
Before he finished speaking, a beautiful face appeared at the courtyard gate. Even in ordinary clothes, he looked very outstanding.
“It’s you!” When Song Huaixi saw his face, he knew who it was. He had seen him in the tent last time, but hadn’t spoken to him.
Reaching out to touch the still very vigilant Little Wolf, Song Huaixi said, “Little Wolf, be good, he’s not a bad person.”
Hearing this, it seemed to understand, and sure enough, it calmed down. He lay obediently at Song Huaixi’s feet.
Liang Xiuzhu stood at the courtyard gate and looked at Song Huaixi, hesitating whether to come in or not. But thinking about the purpose of this trip, he had no choice. I had to come to Song Huaixi for help.
Seeing that he didn’t come in for a long time, Song Huaixi got up from the threshold and waved to Liang Xiuzhu: “Come in, Little Wolf doesn’t bite.”
Liang Xiuzhu then walked to Song Huaixi’s side and knelt down to salute: “This humble one greets the Prince’s Consort.”
Song Huaixi was actually very uncomfortable with people kneeling to him like this, and quickly said, “Please get up quickly.”
Liang Xiuzhu knelt on the ground and refused to get up: “Prince’s Consort, this humble one shouldn’t have come to disturb you. But I really have no choice but to come to the Prince’s Consort for help.”
Now the capital is in chaos, and his mother is just a woman, suffering from illness all year round. There is no one to take care of her. Although he firmly believes that the prince will not break his promise and will definitely bring his mother out of the mansion and settle her down.
But he hasn’t heard from her for so long, he can’t help but feel panic in his heart. In addition, the situation is so turbulent now, and he can’t take care of her, which makes his heart even more tormented.
That Sun Shu, not only blocked him from entering the capital, but also refused to let him look for the prince. He really didn’t know what to do, so he thought of getting some news through Song Huaixi.
“Ah?” Song Huaixi sat down on the threshold again, looking at Liang Xiuzhu’s slightly embarrassed expression, he was very confused.
He asked, “What’s the matter? How can I help you?”
“Prince’s Consort, my mother is seriously ill and has no one to take care of her in the capital. The prince promised me that he would bring my mother out of the mansion and settle her down. Now the capital is in chaos and a war is about to break out, may I ask…”
“Liang Xiuzhu!” Before he finished speaking, Sun Shu’s voice suddenly interrupted him: “What are you doing here!”
The two people who were talking turned their eyes to Sun Shu who was walking over.
Sun Shu walked into the courtyard, and guessed from the expressions of the two that Liang Xiuzhu must be here for his mother’s affairs. He raised his hand to his forehead, feeling a headache.
Now is a time of tension, and this person only knows how to make trouble.
“Come with me.” Sighing, Sun Shu grabbed Liang Xiuzhu’s collar and lifted him off the ground.
“What are you doing! Let go of me!” Liang Xiuzhu was extremely annoyed that his plan was about to succeed, but Sun Shu intervened: “Why are you haunting me all day long!”
Ignoring the struggle of the person in his arms.
“Prince’s Consort, I have something to discuss with him, I’m leaving first.” Sun Shu cupped his fists at Song Huaixi, then dragged Liang Xiuzhu out of the courtyard gate.
Song Huaixi sat on the threshold and looked at the two of them in a daze. After a long while, he touched Little Wolf: “They are so strange.”
“Woof woof!”
