Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 156
In the dark night, a man dressed in black bowed his back and came to the big tent belonging to Zhongyonghou under the leadership of Zhongyonghou's son.

"Hello, Lord Lu." The tall and strong man in black greeted Zhongyong Hou as soon as he saw him.

But the etiquette he performed was not Dayong's etiquette.

Marquis Zhongyong looked at the man in black who was saluting with a smile, and asked, "Warrior Wuen came to look for this Marquis at this time, but is there any news from your Highness the Second Prince?"

"What Lu Hou said is right." Wu En took out an envelope from his chest and handed it to Zhongyong Hou, saying: "The things inside are enough to show the sincerity of our second prince, Lu Hou can take a look."

Zhongyonghou took the envelope and opened it, and saw the letter of surrender written by the second prince himself, but this letter of surrender was indeed written as the king of Beimo.

That is to say, if the second prince can become the king of Beimo, then the letter of surrender will be useful; if the second prince cannot become the king of Beimo, then the letter of surrender will be a piece of waste paper.

Zhongyong Hou put away the letter of surrender, and asked Wu En in front of him with a serious face, "What does the second prince want me to do?"

"The second prince hopes that Lord Lu Hou can completely keep the third prince on the battlefield and not let him return to the royal court." Wu En said.

King Beimo now has four sons, the second prince was born to the first queen, who died after giving birth to the second prince, and the third prince was born to the second queen of Beimo King. It was the third prince of Beimo who led the troops to fight Dayong for the first time.

When the two armies were fighting, the third prince of Beimo rushed out of the encirclement and fled under the protection of his guards. Lu Siyuan, the son of Zhongyonghoufu, found out and led a group of people to chase after him.

Lu Qian could only continue to look forward.

Compared with the second prince, Bei Mo Wang also liked the third prince who was very similar to him in every aspect, and the second prince's mother's family had long since declined, while the third prince's mother's family was very strong.

Lu Wanning's face became serious.

The second prince was not willing to hand over the throne to others, so after Zhongyonghou asked him to find him, he quickly agreed to cooperate with Zhongyonghou.

Luo Chengjing lifted Lu Wanning who was saluting, and led her into the room. After a moment of silence, he said to Lu Wanning: "I received the battle report from Beijiang today."

Lu Siyuan brought many more people than the people around the third prince, logically speaking, he should have come back long ago.

"Your Majesty, you are here." Lu Wanning greeted her with a smile.

Lu Siyuan held the head of the third prince tightly in his hand, and Lu Siyuan's body was brought back by his own horse.

Zhongyonghou thought for a while, nodded and said: "This Marquis agrees to the second prince."

Zhongyonghou continued to nod, "Go back and tell your second prince to reassure him. This Marquis will do what he says, and he will never let the third prince return to your Beimo royal court alive."

"Goodbye."

Looking at Lu Wanning's expression, Luo Chengjing sighed and said, "Lu Siyuan died in battle."

Zhongyonghou thought for a while, nodded, "Be careful."

Lu Wanning reacted after hearing the words for a while, as if she understood the meaning of Luo Chengjing's words, her eyes quickly overflowed with tears.

Zhongyong Hou killed the third prince who stood in his way for him, and helped him ascend the throne. After ascending the throne, he submitted a letter of surrender to Dayong, and later bowed his head to Dayong and paid tribute every year.

Zhongyong Hou heard the words, and immediately ordered all the generals around him, "Reorganize the army!"

Zhongyong Hou ordered Lu Siyuan's body to be sent back to the capital, while he continued to deal with the rest.

"Master Hou, I'll take someone to take a look." Lu Qian said, the second master of Zhongyonghou's mansion and Lu Wanning's second uncle.

Lu Qian looked at Lu Siyuan's body and was silent for a long time before hoarsely saying to the people behind him, "Take the son back to the camp."

In the early morning of the next day, the spies sent by Zhongyonghou to watch the Beimo military camp came back to report: "Master Hou, there has been a change in the Beimo army, and it seems that they intend to withdraw."

Therefore, even if the second prince occupies both the first line and the eldest son, he does not have any advantage in inheriting the Beimo throne.

Lu Qian asked people to go forward to check, and found the bodies of the people beside Lu Siyuan and the people on the side of the third prince, but there was no trace of Lu Siyuan and the third prince.

This battle is very important to the situation. The Zhenbei Army led by Zhongyonghou won a complete victory. It should have been a happy thing, but because of Lu Siyuan's death, this victory was overshadowed. Sad shadow.

In the palace, Luo Chengjing went directly to Lu Wanning after receiving the memorial about the battle.

Luo Chengjing didn't speak, and waited quietly for Lu Wanning to digest the news before continuing: "The battle between us and Beimo should end soon, you Zhongyonghou's mansion has done a great job this time, love What reward does the concubine want?"

Under the setting sun, there were corpses and broken military flags all over the place. Marquis Zhongyong touched the blood splattered on his face and asked the people behind him, "Is there any news from Siyuan?"

Lu Qian led the people all the way to search in the direction of Lu Siyuan. After searching for a long time, they finally found traces of the battle ahead.

The tears in Lu Wanning's eyes hadn't completely dried up, she shook her head with tears in her eyes, and said in a crying voice: "It is the duty of a subject to fight for the country, uncle and the others can really guard the frontier for the emperor and fight in the northern desert , Chen Qie is very proud of being a girl of the Zhongyonghou Mansion, and Chen Qie doesn't want any rewards. Chen Qie believes that Uncle and the others must think the same way."

"Hearing what Master Hou said, Wu En felt relieved." Wu En smiled at Zhongyonghou, and said: "Then Wu En will not stay here for a long time, we will meet again in the future."

Lu Qian searched all the way, and finally found the head of the third prince and Lu Siyuan's body the next morning.

It's just that at this moment, the battle here is over, but Lu Siyuan still hasn't come back, Zhongyonghou can't help but feel a little worried.

Zhongyonghou looked at Lu Siyuan's corpse and his eyes turned red little by little, but he still had more important things to do, and he didn't have so much time for him to indulge in grief.

Wu En breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and continued: "Tomorrow the news of the king's serious illness will reach the army. The second prince hopes that Lord Lu Hou can do it tomorrow."

Luo Chengjing patted Lu Wanning's hand on the table lightly, and said in a gentle voice: "If you have done something wrong, you will be punished, if you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded. Since the Zhongyonghou Mansion has made great achievements, how can I not have any rewards? Aifei is afraid I rewarded you, did you lose the reward for the loyal and brave Marquis?"

"Don't worry, my concubine, the reward for you is yours. When the Zhongyonghou class teacher returns to the court, I will naturally have the reward for him."

"The concubine doesn't think so." Lu Wanning shook her head, and said, "The concubine feels that the emperor has rewarded the concubine with many good things during this period of time, and the concubine has nothing else she wants."

"However, if the emperor really wants to reward the concubine, the concubine has a small wish, and hopes that the emperor can satisfy the concubine."
