C259 He Was about to Enter the Battlefield
Qing Sheng slept the whole afternoon, and was in high spirits at night. After eating dinner, he would accompany the few children in the children's room to play, and the little stones from their house would lie together with the group and An An. Xiao Shi was very obedient, and came to a strange place for the first time.
Seeing him like this, Shen Jingli felt that he was really cute and reached out to tease him. The little fellow looked at the fingers that were swaying in front of him and grinned, and reached out to grab at them, but Shen Jingli intentionally played around with him, so naturally he did not let him catch hold of him, and quickly pulled away. In the beginning, the little stone was a little confused, it did not know why the fingers that were about to be grabbed ran away like that, but after a few tries, he became even more excited.
Qing Sheng played Go with Mu Xi for a while, Xun Er said that he wanted to play with Ying'er, so he pulled Mu Xi and Huaixin out. Qing Sheng originally wanted to follow along, but Shen Jingli said that he did not need to worry about them, and had Da Ji Da Lee follow along.
He sat down by Shen Jingli's side, waving his hands around the cradle while quietly lying down. After a shake, he had already closed his eyes and fallen asleep, while An An was kicking his fists and kicking his legs, unsettled at all. Seeing that he had kicked the blanket away, Qing Sheng reached out to cover him with it.
Seeing this, Shen Jingli smiled and said, "I don't know who this child has a temper for, but he's really very lewd."
"As a child, it's better to be lively." Qing Sheng laughed, took out a rattle to play with the children, and then asked Shen Jingli about his life after returning to the capital.
Shen Jingli did not have much to hide, so he told him everything one by one. After he finished speaking, he saw Qing Sheng frowning, and then heard him ask, "Sister-in-law, I heard that Fourteenth Brother's direct mother often looks for trouble with you, is that true?"
"You mean the County Owner?" Shen Jingli didn't pay attention to that for a while, when the little stone caught hold of his finger, it started to giggle and actually stuffed his finger into its mouth. This scared Shen Jingli so much that he immediately pulled back his hand, and the thing that was in his mouth ran away.
When Shen Jingli heard him cry, he immediately reached out and hugged him, and started to coax him softly. Unexpectedly, the little fellow didn't give him any face, and continued to cry non-stop. Seeing that, Qing Sheng also felt his heart ache, and immediately took the child from Shen Jingli's arms, and started to walk around the room, coaxing him softly.
Qing Sheng put him on the bed, then sat next to Shen Jingli, and asked him about the matter of the Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion. As juniors from the same clan, since they had come to the capital, no matter what, they had to pay a visit to the Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion and Western Mu Mansion;
Shen Jingli didn't dare say that he was a person who understood Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion very well, so he picked a few things to tell Qing Sheng so that he had a better idea of the situation.

Qing Sheng's family stayed in the County Prince's Mansion for a few days.
With Old Master Yang's blessings, Mu Yifann had the good fortune to visit the most powerful scholar in the dynasty, the Scholar Leisurely Confucian University Scholar. Although he did not take Mu Yifann in as a disciple, he read his essay and gave him pointers, which benefited him greatly, and even recommended him to his capable student, Dong Sheng, the dean of the White Cloud Academy in the capital. He was also one of the most famous scholars in the empire, so even if Mu Yifann had average talent, as long as he was willing to work hard, he would definitely be able to get a rank in third.
After confirming the matter of going to the White Cloud Academy to study, Shen Jingli called for Ya Zi to come over and tell him what kind of house Qing Sheng and the others were looking for, so he could pay attention to it.
In less than three days, Ya Zi had already sent people to inform them that they had found a house that met Qing Sheng's requirements, and it was very close to them, at the Joy Lane next door.
Qing Sheng went to see the house, and was very satisfied with the house's specifications and layout, it was just that the house's price was a little expensive, he did not have enough budget, and after talking about it twice, Ya Zi did not want to lower the price. Qing Sheng was discouraged, thinking that the price of the house in the capital was too expensive, the money needed to rent this house, could already buy a few houses in the countryside.
Shen Jingli saw his distress and tactfully offered to lend them the money, but he was rejected by Qing Sheng. He felt that since their family had lived in the County Prince's Mansion for a long time, they had already given Shen Jingli a lot of trouble, and it wouldn't be good to trouble him more. Qing Sheng was a stubborn person, and could not be persuaded no matter what, Shen Jingli genuinely wanted to help them, but Qing Sheng refused to give up.
Thus, Mu Yifann's family of four moved into the house in Joy Lane. Because Mu Yifann had to stay in the Academy after school, he would rest up Mu twice a month.
Just like that, Qing Sheng's family lived in the capital. In February, Yang Ningxin's dim sum shop had to open a branch house, and because Qing Sheng's cooking skills were not bad, Shen Jingli recommended him to work at Yang Ningxin's shop, causing Qing Sheng to become the manager of the new shop.

But on the first day of the imperial court, they received a quick report on the border. The Great Qi Army troops split into two groups and attacked the northwest and northeast borders, having already captured six cities.
When the king, whose body had just recovered, heard the news, his Qi and blood attacked his heart, and he fainted in the imperial court. Seeing this situation, the ministers from the imperial court were once again riled up.
Dry Clear Palace
The emperor lied on the bed as he listened to Yan Chenglee's report with a pale face.
"Someone gave all our military plans and plans to the Great Qi. That's why it was able to take down our six cities so easily with this attack." Yan Chenglee pinched the information in his hands, his veins popped out angrily.
"Cough, cough, cough …" Hearing that the plan for the military defense had been leaked, the Emperor coughed angrily. Lee Dehai walked forward and patted his back to help him vent his anger, and said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, your body is more important."
The emperor closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, doing his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and asked: "Zhan Tialan also didn't stop the enemy's army?"
"The enemy decoded our military deployment and specifically attacked our defenses. The general was caught off guard and gave the enemy an opportunity to strike, but our army has already adjusted their strategy to block the enemy's attack." Yan Chenglee replied.
The Emperor nodded, but he was still worried. The Great Qi was relatively close to the northwest border of Great Yan Empire, and normally, the attackers would come to the north of the Great Yan Empire.
The emperor thought for a moment, then said to Yan Chenglee: "Where is Zi An? Hurry and summon him to the palace. "
In addition to their military deployment map, he was worried that the Northwest would be captured. Once the Northwest was captured, the armies of the Great Qi would definitely go straight to the capital, and take over the entire Great Yan Dynasty.
"Zi An is outside." He knew that in this battle, the Emperor would definitely let Mu Chen be his general, so he decided to let him stay.
"Let him in." The emperor's face was gloomy as he thought about it. He waved Lee Dehai over and whispered into his ear, causing Lee Dehai to nod his head and go in to retrieve the item.
Mu Chen came in and bowed. The emperor then spoke out: "Zi An, are you confident that you can win this battle?"
Mu Chen frowned, and cupped his fists: "This subject will try his best."
The Emperor laughed, then turned and had Lee Dehai bring the things over, "These are the White Tiger Battalion's army tokens, the White Tiger Battalion is an elite army secretly raised by Big Yan, many ministers in the imperial court do not know of their existence, not to mention the enemies, if you use them well …"
The emperor did not finish his words, he believed that Mu Chen would understand. He passed the Tiger Tally to Mu Chen and said, "The day after tomorrow, you and Yongming will lead 40,000 soldiers to the battlefield."
"This lowly general (your son) accepts the order." Mu Chen and Yan Chenglee cupped their fists and led the troops at the same time.
Seeing their aggressive attitude, the Emperor nodded his head in satisfaction. "The future of Great Yan is up to you."
The two of them respectfully listened to the Emperor's lecture for a while before leaving the palace.
Once he was out of the palace, Yan Chenglee asked Mu Chen to go with him to look for Xu Yanlin.
"In order to win this battle, the issue of rations and fodder must be resolved first. Although the imperial government will send out fodder and fodder, This King does not believe them." Yan Chenglee said, "If we want it to be absolutely safe, we must first prepare a batch of our own rations. Let Zhongping handle this matter."
At the same time, Nian Hua rushed into the yard, shouting, "Madam! Madam! It's about to be a war!"
Shen Jingli, who was sitting by the window reading, glanced at him, "Isn't it normal for people to fight in wars? What's so surprising about that? " The Great Yan Dynasty seemed to be very peaceful and flourishing, but in reality, he was already used to small fights and skirmishes with the neighboring small nations.
No, it's not the same this time, the streets are filled with rumors of traitors. They have laid out a border map of our Great Yan Nation's military territory, as well as a detailed map that only the main marshal has in his hands, and have leaked it to the Great Qi. So the invasion of the Great Qi Army has already captured six cities, catching us off guard! Nian Hua hurriedly told his gathered information. He looked around cautiously and whispered to Shen Jingli, "Madam, I heard from others that Second Prince had betrayed the and leaked the military deployment border map."
"Second Prince?" Shen Jingli laughed disdainfully. Was it because Second Prince's brain was kicked by a donkey that he gave his country to the enemy?
Nian Hua saw that Shen Jingli did not believe him, and anxiously stomped his feet, "Madam, do you not believe me?
"These words cannot be randomly said. If anyone hears about it, I will accuse you of slandering the dynasty, and your little life will be gone." Shen Jingli closed the book. The Great Qi was so fierce, would the emperor let Mu Chen onto the battlefield?
Thinking of this, he nervously clenched his fists. It was better to prepare in advance for some matters.
