Chapter 927: Senior Brother Xie Has Someone in His Heart

"Alas..."

Ning Chen suddenly sighed deeply.

After thinking it over again and again, he decided not to attack Zhang Tianlun this year.

It was not for anything else, it was just the wrong time.

When he arrived in Xiangzhou, it would be freezing cold, and the soldiers would not be able to bear it. How many people would be frozen to death by then?

Besides, there were only 50,000 troops stationed at the southern border, which was far from enough.

"Old Pan, help me find Yuan Long!"

Ning Chen shouted outside.

"Yes!"

Pan Yucheng responded and left.

After waiting for a while, Yuan Long's voice for an audience sounded outside the door.

"Come in!"

Yuan Long pushed the door open and walked in, "See you, Your Majesty!"

Ning Chen waved his hand, "Yuan Long, I have thought it over again and again, now is not a good time to attack Xiangzhou...When we arrive in Xiangzhou, it will be freezing cold, not suitable for fighting.

So, I decided to put this battle in the early spring of next year."

Yuan Long nodded, he also felt that now was not a good time to send troops.

Ning Chen said: "You should transfer the 50,000 troops from Yangzhou to the border. The 50,000 troops there are not enough.

I have decided to return to Beijing in two days... In the beginning of next spring, I will transfer troops from the northern border.

It just so happens that during this period, we should try our best to build warships... Otherwise, if Zhang Tianlun and the troops of Zhaohe Country withdraw to the sea, we can only watch."

Yuan Long leaned forward: "Yes! Your Majesty, who will be sent as the general at the southern border?"

Ning Chen picked up a piece of paper from the desk. There were several names on it. These were capable generals recommended by Yuan Long.

He had already made a decision before.

"I remember this Qin Qiao. When King Rui rebelled, he had followed me to attack Xiangzhou. He is quite capable, so I will let him guard the southern border... When I return to Beijing, I will personally ask for him to be a third-rank general!

And this Zhong Xiuwen, I also remember him. I will ask him to assist Qin Qiao, and I will also ask for him to be a third-rank general."

Yuan Long leaned over and said respectfully: "I will do it right away!"

Ning Chen nodded and said hum!

After Yuan Long left, Ning Chen also walked out of the study.

He came to the other courtyard and planned to find Yudie and the others.

When passing by the hall, Ning Chen stopped and looked up.

Looking at Xie Siyu who was sitting on the roof and showing off, he was speechless.

This senior brother of his is really a roof beast. He likes to stay on the roof wherever he goes.

"Senior Brother Xie, come down and talk!"

Xie Siyu flipped over and fell from the roof.

Ning Chen looked at him speechlessly, "Brother Xie, you are already an adult, have you never thought about getting married?

I said I would marry He Ye to you before, but you refused.

She is now a close friend of Emperor An. Although she has no official position, all civil and military officials have to be polite to her... How about I talk to Emperor An this time and let you get married?"

Xie Siyu shook his head and said coolly, "No, women will only affect my speed of drawing the sword."

"Don't draw the sword in the future, practice with a gun instead? Your gun will rust if you don't use it anymore."

Xie Siyu looked puzzled, "I don't have a gun, and I have never practiced with a gun. I prefer the sword because... it's cool!"

Ning Chen's mouth twitched fiercely, thinking, are we talking about the same thing?

"Brother Xie, what kind of woman do you like?"

Xie Siyu thought for a moment and said, "I like those who are good at martial arts and can practice swords with me, like Tan Tai Qingyue."

Ning Chen stared at him, "Don't even think about Tan Tai Qingyue, she's mine."

Xie Siyu said coolly, "I know! I'm just making an analogy. I don't want to find her, and she doesn't like me."

Ning Chen was happy, "Okay, I'll help you keep an eye out and find you a chivalrous woman."

"No need, I already have someone in my heart!"

Ning Chen opened his mouth wide, "You, you have someone in your heart? Who? Do I know her?"

Xie Siyu shook his head and said coolly, "You don't know her!"

"What's her name? What does she do?"

"Her name is Hua Linglong, the daughter of the owner of Jingyue Castle!"

Hua Linglong, Jingyue Castle, you can tell she's a Jianghu force at first glance.

Ning Chen asked curiously, "Why have I never heard you mention it?"

"You didn't ask either."

Ning Chen: "......."

"I don't even know this person, what's the point of asking... Senior Brother Xie, since you have someone in your heart, why don't you go find her?"

Xie Siyu looked cold, "I did, but she doesn't like me!"

Ning Chen was confused.

He suddenly thought, with Xie Siyu's personality, he wouldn't just rush to Jingyue Castle and ask the girl straight away if she likes him, right?

"Senior Brother Xie, how do you know she doesn't like you?"

Xie Siyu said, "I asked her if she was willing to practice with me and make progress together... She said no, and told me to get out, and then I left!"

Ning Chen looked at him in shock, his face twitching.

"Senior Brother Xie, I respect you as a man, you are really brave... Do you know what practicing together means?"

Xie Siyu looked up, "Of course I know, sleep together at night, practice together during the day, and make progress together."

Ning Chen was stunned, my goodness, this explanation... is really fucking strange. The people of Jingyue Castle didn't break Xie Siyu's legs, probably because of the Ghost Shadow Sect's face.

"Brother Xie, when did you go to find Hua Linglong?"

Xie Siyu thought for a moment, "Five years ago."

Ning Chen: "......."

"And you never went to find her again?"

"No!"

Ning Chen was convinced and pointed to the roof, "You'd better go up!"

Xie Siyu hummed, jumped onto the roof, and continued to be his roof beast.

Ning Chen shook his head helplessly. He used to think that Xie Siyu was very cold, but now it seems that this guy is stupid.

He originally wanted to match Xie Siyu and Hua Linglong. After all, Xie Siyu has helped him a lot for so long, and he has already regarded Xie Siyu as a relative.

But when he thought that Xie Siyu went to find Hua Linglong five years ago, maybe she is already married now.

He was going to find Yudie, but changed his mind temporarily to find Xiao Yanxi.

He planned to find Xiao Yanxi to ask about Hua Linglong's situation.

In the room, Xiao Yanxi's pretty face was slightly red, holding a light blue dress in her hand, looking at herself in the bronze mirror shyly.

She looked hesitant, as if she was hesitating whether to change into it?

In fact, she had secretly worn women's clothes more than once.

She looked really good in the skirt.

Dongdongdong! ! !

The sudden knock on the door startled her.

She hurriedly hid her dress under the quilt, then adjusted her expression and walked over to open the door.

When she saw Ning Chen standing outside the door, her expression suddenly lost control.

Her pretty face flushed, as if she had been caught wearing women's clothes by Ning Chen, and she felt guilty.

Ning Chen looked at her strangely, "Why is your face so red?"

Xiao Yanxi touched her face in a panic and said hesitantly, "But, maybe the room is too hot."

"Really?" Ning Chen looked at her suspiciously, "The room is too hot, why are you so nervous?"

"I, how am I nervous?"

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes, "You stuttered when you spoke, and you said you were not nervous... Xiao Xixi, are you hiding someone in the room?"
