Chapter 1322: What should we do if we use Huimei as a sacrifice?

"Why? Why do we have to enter Kaifeng city again?" Huijian's voice, like a broken gong, was extremely penetrating.

Aunt Lu frowned and lowered her voice to remind her: "Huijian, keep your voice down... walls have ears."

"What are you afraid of? This is our little camp. We have our own people here. What's there to be afraid of?"

Aunt Lu shook her head helplessly, looked at Madam Huimei, and said, "Miss, you are the leader of our army, so you should come up with an idea."

With a swish, Hui Jian had already drawn his sword and said, "What are we still discussing? He's bullying us now. It's obvious that he doesn't want us to live. We might as well rush out and kill him!"

“Miss, please say something. If you delay, there will be trouble and it will be hard to deal with.” Aunt Lu also knew that she couldn’t control Huijian, so she continued to put pressure on Huimei: “Miss, even if you don’t think about yourself or the baby in your belly... you must... you must think about the 200 female soldiers in our small camp!”

"Okay."

After Huimei stopped their argument, she stood up and walked to the broken window. Standing in the sunlight shining through the window, she fell into deep thought...

After a while, Huimei finally spoke up, "Aunt Lu, go to the Earl's wife and tell her that I want to see the Earl of Yongning and his wife. I hope they will grant me permission."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Aunt Lu responded to the order, she just turned around and heard Hui Jian stop her, saying, "They are clearly pushing us into the fire pit. The couple are both bad people. What else can we ask for help?"

Aunt Lu stopped walking when she heard this and looked towards Huimei, waiting to see what she would say next...

"Second Aunt, go on your way and come back soon."

"Sister Huimei..."

"Wisdom Sword."

Huimei's voice was a little louder and it actually frightened Huijian so much that she trembled. Although she was a bit straightforward and reckless, she still respected Huimei very much. Seeing that she seemed really angry, she stopped talking and stood there with her head lowered, like a little girl who was angry.

"I know you don't trust the Earl of Yongning and his wife, but you are now the deputy commander of these 200 female soldiers. How can you be so disrespectful to shout and kill all day long?"

"But... Sister Huimei, I just don't believe that the corrupt officials in the imperial court have good intentions!"

Huimei sighed softly in her heart. In fact, she did not dare to trust the Earl of Yongning and his wife completely, but the current situation was such that she was surrounded by the Yongyi Army like a bird in a cage and had completely lost the power to make free choices.

After experiencing a series of misfortunes, Huimei has gradually grown up. From a naive girl who is just beginning to fall in love, she has gradually become more and more like a female general.

Huimei has now learned to think comprehensively, and her vision has become much more far-sighted, able to see farther than others. She not only considers her own safety, but also learns to think about the future of the 200 female soldiers around her.

With the continuous indoctrination of Ji Xuanzhu, the wife of the Earl of Yongning, Huimei also began to think about how to make the people stable, so that everyone has food to eat and clothes to wear. She even began to wonder whether the slogan of "no tax payment" put forward by King Chuang was correct!

Although her heart was still with "King Chuang" at this moment, and she was thinking about how to return to King Chuang and Madam Gao, she had put the safety of her female soldiers first, and was no longer seeking death like before.

"Hui Jian, calm down and think carefully. If the Earl of Yongning and his wife wanted to harm us, why would they go to such great lengths?"

"Against... Anyway, these dog officials have no good intentions!"

"Oh. You just never grow up." "Why should I bother thinking when I have my sister here? Just listen to my sister and make all the decisions."

"That's good."

Huimei's face straightened, and she said to her in a very serious tone: "Huijian, from now on, you should talk less, and you are not allowed to draw your sword and shout for war for no reason. Can you do it?"

"Huijian... can do it!" Although Huijian's answer was a little hesitant, her tone at the end was very firm. In order to show her determination, she nodded heavily at Huimei.

"Okay. Huijian, you must remember what you promised me today."

…………

"Huimei, your worries are totally unnecessary."

After listening to Huimei's statement, Yongning Bo explained to her: "The war between me and King Chuang has reached the point where it is about to break out. You also know this, so there is no need for me to hide it from you.

You have been in the army of King Chuang for a long time, so you naturally know that the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. If we win, it will be fine. But if we lose to King Chuang's army, 50,000 to 60,000 troops will be out of control in an instant, and I am afraid that Miss Huimei's safety will not be guaranteed.

So, after discussing with your sister, I decided to let your sister take you and the two hundred female soldiers of the Xiaochuang Camp into Kaifeng City to avoid the war."

"Is it safe in Kaifeng? If they knew that our young lady was the adopted daughter of King Chuang, how can they guarantee that they would not come to harm us?"

Aunt Lu knew that Huimei was very shy, especially since she had been getting closer to Lady Ji Xuanzhu in recent days. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to say no, so she asked the question on Huimei's behalf first.

Yongning Bo did not show any disgust at Aunt Lu's unauthorized interruption, but said gently: "Whether this Bo or King Chuang wins, Miss Huimei and the female soldiers of the Xiaochuang Camp will be safe in Kaifeng City."

"Excuse me, sir, what do you mean?" Huimei asked.

Yongning Bo smiled and said to her, "Huimei, think about it carefully. If it was me who defeated King Chuang, then who among the soldiers and civilians in Kaifeng would dare to disrespect my wife? And who would dare to show up and hurt my distinguished guests?"

After hearing this, Huimei and Aunt Lu nodded in agreement.

"Then...what if King Chuang defeated Lord Bo's army?" Although Huimei hesitated for a moment, she still asked a soul-searching question.

"If the King of Rebellion defeats my brave army, he will certainly lead his troops to besiege Kaifeng City. At that time, I will lead my elite troops and retreat into Kaifeng City. With me personally in charge, who would dare to make things difficult for you?"

Earl Yongning continued, "Besides, there were hundreds of thousands of King Chuang's troops outside Kaifeng at that time. Miss Huimei might even become a life-saving talisman for the soldiers and civilians in Kaifeng. Who would come out to embarrass you?"

"But those dogs...ah..."

In a hurry, Aunt Lu almost blurted out the word "dog official", but she immediately realized that if she did so, wouldn't she also curse the Earl of Yongning and his wife? She quickly changed her words and said, "What if those officials get impatient and insist on using our Miss Huimei as a sacrifice first?"

"Humph."

Yongning Bo suddenly stood up and shouted: "If they dare... they have to step over my body!"
