Chapter 225 Long time no see

Cheng Ling looked at Jiang Qilan's face on the electronic screen and felt dazed.

She felt that she was not mentally prepared to see him.

——Brother Lan, it's been a long time since we last met.

"Xiao Ling, if you don't want to see him, I'll find a way to get rid of him." Old Master Cheng said.

"No," Cheng Ling felt a little complicated.

She pursed her lips, "It doesn't matter. I'll go see him."

He once made a promise to her.

He promised that on the day the war ended, he would spread a ten-mile red dress and marry her home.

He taught her to read, recognize words, use weapons, and learn strategies.

From the living room to the courtyard door, Cheng Ling felt like she had walked for more than 800 years in just a dozen steps.

She finally stood in front of him and looked at him seriously for the first time in modern times.

Brother Lan has changed a lot.

Brother Lan in my memory is darker, thinner, and more smiling.

General Lan, who frightened countless enemy soldiers, would smile and reveal two rows of white teeth as long as he saw her.

Then he secretly took out a bag of sticky candies from his clothes, stuffed them into his pockets, and rubbed his head lovingly.

A gossipy woman said, "Girl Ling rides horses and plays with swords all day long. She can't do needlework or cook. How can she serve your husband in the future?"

Her cheeks were puffed with anger.

Brother Lan would pull her over and say coldly, "Girl Ling, you don't need to do needlework or cook, because these jobs are mine. Unlike you, poor aunt, your husband throws these jobs to you?"

Originally thought he was just fighting for her, but he didn't expect Brother Lan to do what he said.

He was very good at sewing, and his cooking was delicious.

She felt a little sorry for herself.

While mending the worn clothes, he said:

"Cooking and sewing are common things. I can do it, why do I have to ask you to do it? I need someone to study with me late at night, someone to analyze the battle situation with me, someone to practice sword skills with me, and someone to scold the treacherous ministers in the court together. Even if I have to eat coarse food and wear tattered clothes, I will feel comfortable."

Then, the war started.

Brother Lan has been fighting outside for many years.

She practiced swordsmanship and read military books every day in her hometown, and saved many battles of victory by surprise, waiting for Brother Lan to come back to discuss.

She even learned how to cook.

When Brother Lan comes back, I will show him my skills, and he will definitely be shocked. She thought happily.

However, a celebration banquet after a victory shattered everything.

After the merits were rewarded, the civil officials in the palace jumped out to sing the opposite tune.

The civil officials said: "The world has suffered from war for a long time. General Lan's conquest is probably to show off his power, which is not good for the country. The Mongolian monarch sent a letter to plead that if we retreat 50 miles to the south, they will never offend our country again and offer 10,000 cattle and sheep every year."

General Lan refuted: "Mongolia has always been insidious and cunning, and has no credibility at all. Go and see the lost territory, where the people have suffered from their burning, killing, rape and looting."

Now they have finally built a defense line, guarding a rolling mountain range, like a natural barrier, and the Mongolian cavalry cannot rush through.

"Retreating fifty miles is like opening your own door!"

"... How can the people living in these fifty miles protect themselves when facing the iron hoof?"

The civil official argued: "War is always deadly? The world belongs to the monarch, and the monarch has the final say, not you, General Lan. You are wasting money and manpower by fighting like this! Why are you so anxious to gain a good reputation!"

The incompetent monarch was actually persuaded by the civil official-

Mongolia spread rumors in the country that General Lan wanted to rebel and seize the country.

And General Lan was indeed extraordinary. He was eight feet tall, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, majestic and handsome like a god.

Just standing in the hall, he was better than all the civil and military officials in the court.

Not to mention the incompetent monarch, who has been addicted to wine and sex for many years, and has been in a daze and neglected to take care of himself. The whole person is limp. How can he be compared with General Lan?

The monarch was scared.

They caught General Lan with an extreme remark and accused him of "disrespecting the monarch and the civil officials" and dragged him out that day.

He was torn into pieces by five horses.

Such a proud man was tied up by five horses without any dignity and torn into five pieces.

His body was taken away by wild dogs, and only a cenotaph was left.

Then, the tyrant retreated fifty miles.

The Mongolian soldiers marched south.

The war reached her hometown.

She wiped away her tears and picked up the sword.
