Chapter 903 I Caught a Rain Butterfly
Ning Chen thought for a long time and decided to give up the expedition against Zhang Tianlun.
First recapture Yangzhou and other places, and then go around to deal with Zhang Tianlun.
"Xiao Xixi, what's going on in Nanyue?"

Xiao Yanxi said: "Kang Luo has been frequently dispatching troops recently, and has been tightening his forces and gathering in Yangzhou."
Ning Chen's eyes flashed, "So Chongzhou is short of troops now?"
Xiao Yanxi said: "Kang Luo now has 100,000 troops, and dare not disperse... From his appearance, he intends to give up Chongzhou.
But the people of Chongzhou will suffer. When Kang Luo leaves, he will definitely burn, kill, loot, and dig three feet into the ground."
Ning Chen's face was gloomy, "Can you contact Gaoliguo's prince Jin Dongxing?"
Xiao Yanxi nodded, "Do you want to join forces with Gaoliguo?"
Ning Chen nodded slightly, "Gaoliguo has been bullied by South Vietnam for many years... This is a good opportunity. If we attack from both sides, South Vietnam will not be able to escape this time. I think Gaoliguo will not miss this opportunity."
Xiao Yanxi said, "I can write a secret letter, and I will send someone to deliver it to the prince of Gaoliguo."
"Okay!"
Ning Chen immediately wrote a letter and handed it to Xiao Yanxi.
Xiao Yanxi took the secret letter and put it away, "If everything is fine, then I will go down first!"
"Wait a minute, there is one more thing..."
Xiao Yanxi said subconsciously: "No change!"
Ning Chen looked at her in surprise, "What do you mean no change?"
Xiao Yanxi stared at him vigilantly, "I won't change into women's clothes."
Ning Chen: "......."
It seems that he fooled Xiao Yanxi into changing into women's clothes every day, and this woman has a psychological shadow.
"That's not what I'm talking about... The autumn harvest is coming soon. I'll give you the intelligence fee before the New Year."
You don't have to pay back the grain from Xiliang.
But you have to pay the intelligence fee from Taichu Pavilion.
First, the intelligence from Taichu Pavilion really helped him a lot.
Second, intelligence costs money. Without money, who would be willing to help you spy?
Xiao Yanxi looked at him in astonishment, "Really?"
Ning Chen smiled and said, "Can people have a little trust in each other?"
"Then... Thank you!"
Information costs too much money. Taichu Pavilion moved to Xuanwu City and spent money every day. Many businesses have not been rolled out. Now it's really a bit stretched.
Ning Chen smiled and said, "I owed you money anyway, no need to thank you."
"If it's all right, I'll go down first."
"Wait a minute, there's one more thing."
Xiao Yanxi looked at him.
Ning Chen suddenly had a playful look on his face, "Xiao Xixi, when will you change into women's clothes for me?"
Xiao Yanxi: "......."
She glared at Ning Chen unhappily and left in a hurry... fearing that if she ran too late, Ning Chen would personally change her into women's clothes.
Ning Chen smiled silently.
Immediately, he asked someone to go to the camp outside the city to find Yuan Long.
While Ning Chen was waiting for Yuan Long, Pan Yucheng told him that someone had come from the palace.
Ning Chen got up and went to the hall. When he saw the eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict, he was immediately happy. It was an old acquaintance... the shadow guard who had protected him before.
"Your Majesty wants to see me?"
The eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict shook his head, "It was the emperor who summoned me!"
Ning Chen hummed, explained a few words to Pan Yucheng, and then went into the palace.
Following the eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict to the imperial garden.
From a distance, he could hear Emperor An's giggling, like a hen.
As soon as he turned the corner, he saw the Ninth Princess... no, it was Emperor An, who was catching butterflies with a net.
Emperor Xuan was sitting under a pavilion not far away, with Concubine Zhao by his side.
Ning Chen walked over, "Your son pays respects to your father, and to Concubine Zhao!"
Emperor Xuan pointed to the stone bench next to him, "Come and sit down!"
Ning Chen walked over and sat down.
"Your Majesty, do you have something to ask your son?"
Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "Nothing, I just miss you... You haven't been to the palace for several days, are you busy?"
Uh... Busy indeed, but in fact he went to the palace every day, but he went to the palace to serve the emperor at night, and then Emperor Xuan had already rested.
"Father, please forgive me. I am indeed a bit busy recently."
Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "I don't mean to blame you. Today, King Wu and Princess Wu came to the palace to pay their respects to me and Princess Zhao... and there are not many government affairs, so it's just right for our family to have a meal together.
I asked someone to pack your favorite roast duck from Tianfulou."
Ning Chen felt warm in his heart and smiled, "Thank you, father! Where are King Wu and Princess Wu?"
Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "I don't know where they went? Princess Wu rarely comes to the palace, so I asked King Wu to take her around."
Ning Chen said, "Oh", turned his head and looked at Emperor An who was catching butterflies, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
Emperor Xuan sighed, "Huaian is lively and active. It's really embarrassing for her to sit and handle government affairs every day."
Ning Chen nodded slightly.
It's embarrassing for Huai'an.
But he doesn't dare to trust others now.
None of Emperor Xuan's sons is easy to deal with.
No, it should be said that the royal heirs are not born to be quiet.
That dragon throne, with its magical power, could drive people crazy.
There was no other way. To prevent any trouble in the future, he could only push Huai'an to the throne.
At this time, Emperor An came running over.
Her voice was crisp and charming, "Ning Chen, look... I caught a rain butterfly."
Ning Chen's mouth twitched, and the slender and tender white fingers of the Ninth Princess gently pinched the wings of a green butterfly.
"Hehe... this kind of butterfly is really called Yudie. Sister Yudie's name probably comes from this kind of butterfly."
Ning Chen shook his head helplessly.
"Since you and Sister Yudie have the same name, I'll let you go!"
Emperor An said, letting go of his hand, and the butterfly flew away.
"Ning Chen, please bring Sister Yudie and Sister Zisu back. I miss them."
Ning Chen thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
He pinched Huai'an's little face, "You've been exhausted recently, right?"
The guards and palace maids next to him saw this scene and lowered their heads in fear.
Emperor An looked aggrieved, "That's right. I have to read endless memorials and handle endless government affairs every day. I know how hard my father worked before.
But don't worry, I will work hard to be a good emperor, to make the people of Daxuan well fed and clothed, and... I must make that bad woman Wu Xingcheng look at me with new eyes."
Ning Chen smiled, this girl is quite vindictive.
Wu Xingcheng put on a show the last time he came to Xuanwu City, and Huai'an has remembered it until now.
At this time, a young eunuch came to report that the meals were ready.
Emperor Xuan stood up, "Let's go and have a meal!
Quan Sheng, ask someone to find King Wu and the others."
Eunuch Quan leaned over, "Yes!"
Ning Chen followed behind, looking at Emperor Xuan's white hair, and felt sour in his heart... Emperor Xuan is really old.
I remember the first time I met Emperor Xuan, he was so heroic and extraordinary.
In these few short years, he has experienced too many changes, which can be said to be full of disasters.
I hope God blesses and lets Emperor Xuan live a few more years.
"Ning Chen, when do you plan to recover the lost land?"
Emperor Xuan suddenly turned around and asked.
Ning Chen smiled and said, "Soon, just these few days... I want to drive Nanyue out of the territory of Daxuan and recover the lost land in the south before the winter snows."
