Chapter 177
When Ning Youbei woke up, Qu Chu was no longer on the bed.

He got out of bed in his middle coat, and there was no sign of Qu Chu in the bedroom or study.

Could it be that Ah Chu went to practice?

Thinking in this way, Ning Youbei changed into his practice clothes, and was also preparing to practice the "Ming Ran Palm" that Qu Chu taught him.

As soon as he left the room, Xiao Chunzi, who was waiting outside the door, hurried forward: "My lord, the general asked the servant to tell you that she is gone."

Ning Youbei's face drooped immediately.

Ah Chu left without even saying goodbye to him.

Seeing that Ning Youbei was unhappy, Xiao Chunzi hurriedly added: "The general said that she doesn't like parting, and asked you to wait for her to come back at home."

Hearing this sentence, Ning Youbei looked a little better. However, he still felt that he had lost his energy and stopped practicing. He turned back and lay down on the bed.

Ning Youbei held Qu Chu's sleeping pillow in his arms, as if he could feel Qu Chu's existence in this way.

"you liar……"

When wiping Qu Chu's body last night, Ning Youbei actually knew that Qu Chu was not asleep.But Qu Chu still let him dry and dress her, which made Ning Youbei think that Qu Chu accepted him.

But I didn't expect that when I woke up, I left without saying goodbye.

……

Ning Youbei lay on the bed for a long time before getting up. When he got up, he saw that the box containing the soft armor was empty, and he finally felt better.

Ah Chu is slowly accepting his kindness.

However, people are still lacking energy, as if their soul has been taken away by someone.

……

When the emperor went to court that day, Ning Youbei kept his head drooping, and he didn't want to answer lazily when the emperor asked him.

At the court meeting that day, the emperor said that he had received a secret letter from the Nanyi frontier army: the Nanyi army had occupied the frontier barracks of the Dayu Kingdom and killed [-] Dayu soldiers.

And said his decision: send troops to aid the Nanyi frontier army.

In fact, the emperor has not received the official battle report yet, all he saw was a letter from General Fan to Qu Chu.

But the emperor knew that the contents of General Fan's letter would not be false.

The emperor knew in his heart:

Since the Dark Night Alliance slaughtered the Nanyi royal family until there was only one puppet Zayi left, it would be a matter of time before the Nanyi invaded the Dayu Kingdom.King Jing's rebellion will happen sooner or later.

Now Qu Chu voluntarily leads his troops to sweep the past in the name of aiding the Nanyi frontier army, which is just in line with the emperor's wishes.

Therefore, the emperor pretended that he had received a secret letter from the Nanyi Frontier Army.

……

After discussing with Qu Chu yesterday, the emperor hastily summoned the Dukes of Huguo, Duke of Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of War and Shangshu of the Ministry of Households to the palace, and informed them of what he had agreed with Qu Chu.

The Lord Protector was not surprised to know that Qu Chu personally led the army.

He has stayed in Yudu and Haiqing for many years, and he knows how powerful Qu Chu is. Officials in the north and northwest are both dependent on and afraid of Qu Chu.

But the Duke of Wei immediately objected after hearing this: saying that Qu Chu is a woman and can no longer lead the army.

The emperor replied to Wei Guogong on the spot: "How about changing Chang Weijun and General Qu? It happens that General Qu is more at ease in Yuduzhen."

One sentence silenced Wei Guogong.

Not to mention that Chang Weijun had never been on the battlefield, even if he had fought before, Duke Wei would not let him hand over the city defense army.

Only when the city defense army is in the hands of Chang Weijun, Duke Wei feels safe.

However, the Duke of Wei was seriously dissatisfied with Wang Liangcong's 3 people into the Imperial Forest Army and the City Defense Army, thinking that Wang Liangcong wanted to seize Chang Weijun's military power.

The emperor said lightly again:
"This is only temporary, for the sake of the safety of Yu Capital City. In the future, the 3 people will be used for other purposes.

Besides, Chang Weijun is still the admiral of Yudu City and the commander-in-chief of the city defense army, and I have not dismissed him, how can I say it is against him? "

Duke Wei couldn't speak.

Although Chang Weijun's position has not changed, the emperor asked the king of Chu to command the city defense army, the imperial forest army and the [-] new troops during this period.

With the king of Chu on top, and Wang Liangcong on the sidelines to help, how could it be Chang Weijun's turn to speak?
However, the emperor now has the support of Duke Huguo and Hubu Shangshu, and Duke Wei cannot change his decision at all.

Only at this time did Duke Wei realize how good it was to have Prime Minister Fang around.

Although he often confronted Prime Minister Fang in the past, he often cooperated when the two had the same interests.

Therefore, both he and Prime Minister Fang could get a lot of benefits in the past.

Unlike now, as long as the emperor made up his mind, it was impossible for him to change anything.

……

After the court meeting ended, the emperor called Ning Youbei to follow him to the imperial study.

Looking at the listless Ning Youbei, the emperor raised his eyebrows, "Your wife is gone?"

In the past, the emperor used to call him "General Qu", but now he would say "your daughter-in-law" when talking about Qu Chu with Ning Youbei.

This can be regarded as affirming Qu Chu's status as Princess Chu in disguise.

Ning Youbei replied listlessly: "Well, he left early in the morning and didn't even tell me."

The emperor said "Tsk, Tsk" twice, "Look at how promising you are, you have to know that your wife is a general, and it is her duty to lead troops to fight."

"I know," Ning Youbei rubbed his face, "I just feel uncomfortable, bored, and can't do anything."

The emperor shook his head, it seemed that he had to find something for You Bei to do, so as not to overthink him.

"If you're okay, just keep an eye on the household department and the military department for your wife, don't be short of food, grass, and salary, and take care of her at the back."

Hearing what the emperor said, Ning Youbei cheered up.

"That's right, Ah Chu is fighting in the front, I want to keep an eye on the rear defense for her."

Seeing that Ning Youbei finally pulled himself together, the emperor didn't say any more.

In fact, Hubu Shangshu is the father of Concubine Shu (formerly Rufei) and the grandfather of the second prince. Now for the second prince, it is time to express himself and not hold him back.

And Du Haiping, Minister of the Ministry of War, was originally a member of Prime Minister Fang. After Prime Minister Fang fell from power, he went uncharacteristically, doing things with dignity and professing his allegiance to himself.

At this time, I dare not make any trouble.

The reason why the emperor told Ning Youbei in this way was that he wanted him to find something to do and distract himself.

……

**
Qu Chu, who was being talked about by Ning Youbei, had already arrived at Mantuo Villa.

She was alone, but beside her was a bird, a horse, and a dark iron knife.

When fighting in the north, Qu Chu used a long-handled Yandao.

The long-handled Yandao also added dark iron, which weighed 80 catties, but it was not as sharp as the pure black iron knife on his body.

Qu Chu thought about the terrain of Nanyi and Southern Shu. Unlike the flat plains in the north, there are many mountains and forests. Maybe there will be forest warfare at that time. It is not as convenient to carry a long-handled Yandao as this black iron sword.

So she only brought out the black iron sword.

But after reaching the range of Mantuo Villa, Gray Dian refused to enter Mantuo Villa anyway.

It is really afraid of the devil woman in Manduo Mountain Villa, and feeds it some weird things every time.

It's so unpalatable!
Qu Chu had no choice but to tell it to wait for her outside.
