Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

"Yes."

Even if the rebels are defeated and Yu Xinghong is captured, it will not change the fact that Liang Jun is approaching the city.

Lord Liang and Yu Xinghong reached a deal and each got what they needed. He didn't care whether Yu Xinghong was caught or whether he lived or not. He only cared about whether he could enter the White Bear Pass.

Baixiong Pass is the first line of defense of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If it is breached, the enemy can directly seize the three northwest cities and penetrate deep into the hinterland.

More importantly, the news of King Chen's disappearance has now spread throughout the military camp.

The war is about to begin. In the face of Liang Jun's fierce offensive, the backbone of the army is missing at this time, which is a huge blow to the morale of the army!
This is the shadow that hangs over the heads of the soldiers. It can easily linger and can only be overcome by someone who has the same status as King Chen, or even respects him, to take over the position of coach.

Looking at everyone in the court, only Xiao Rongxi can do it.

Going on a personal expedition was a last resort, and it was also what Xiao Rongxi had always wanted to do.

He is not an emperor who is just willing to be confined within the palace walls, not working hard on the crops, and not discerning the actual situation.

Only by truly going into battle to kill the enemy can we have a heart-to-heart relationship with the soldiers and reassure them.

Feeling the hand holding her slowly tightening, Nan Zhen couldn't help but lower her eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, are you nervous?"

Xiao Rongxi laughed, "In the face of a powerful enemy, it would be abnormal if we didn't have any sense of urgency, but you can tell at all."

Nan Zhen also curled her lips.

The king of a country goes to the border in person. This battle can only be won, not defeated.

Stepping out of the realm of Leng Palace, all his emotions must be hidden. Only at this moment can he reveal some of his true thoughts.

"Has Your Majesty decided when to set off?"

Xiao Rongxi said: "We are still discussing with various subordinate departments, but the frontline war waits for no one, and it is initially planned to be at the end of the month."

At the end of the month, winter time has officially entered, and the temperature is getting lower every day. You cannot stop during the march, otherwise you will encounter heavy snow, which will inevitably delay your trip.

"I have predicted that this winter will be colder than previous years." He said while breathing a sigh of relief.

It's bitter cold, northwest, and the war is imminent... all mixed together, it's even more worrying.

After hearing this, Nan Zhen thought for a moment, "It's not too late at the end of the month."

Xiao Rongxi didn't think anything was wrong when he first heard it, but then when he saw her lowering her eyes and thinking, she realized something was wrong.

He raised his hand, gently palmed her chin, and turned her towards him, "What's too late?"

"It's too late to make arrangements for Mingyue Pavilion."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Rongxi frowned and retorted, "No." Nan Zhen raised her eyelids and looked at him.

Xiao Rongxi spoke softly, "Marching and fighting are different from disputes in the rivers and lakes. If you make one wrong move, you may lay down millions of corpses and flow into rivers of blood. It's not as simple as wiping your neck with a sword. It's too dangerous for you to go."

Although Nan Zhen can endure hardship, she has no military experience, and he doesn't want her to take risks.

"The situation in the capital has been decided, but there are always lingering consequences. If you stay in the capital and take charge, I will feel more at ease."

Nan Zhen looked at him steadily, with no hint of compromise in her eyes, "Given the current situation in the capital, if I are needed to take charge, all of His Majesty's ministers can kill themselves to apologize."

Not to mention the Wei family and the Zhang family, even the original Chen Wang faction should take the initiative to stir up trouble at this time and show that they cannot be easily replaced.

Otherwise, what would these idle people do?
To others, this could be a serious crime, but when Nan Zhen said it, Xiao Rongxi felt more helpless.

Too smart to be fooled.

"But I'm afraid that when I'm out, I might be careless sometimes and not take care of you."

Nan Zhen raised her chin, "I won't run around, and I don't need His Majesty to distract me from my protection."

She really has no experience in commanding operations.I have some understanding of the art of war, but only on paper.

There are people who are good at professional things, so she can just follow the instructions. Besides——

"How did your majesty know that people in the world can't be a help?"

When Nan Zhen said this, her eyes were shining with confidence that was unique to her.

The intelligence cobweb of Mingyue Pavilion's subordinates has been involved even in the Liang Kingdom.There is no one in the army, but one more piece of news always gives one more certainty, even if the news does not come from the military camp.

The military camp was not independent of the imperial court, and as far as she knew, Lord Liang had very strict control over the military camp in order to prevent his subordinates from showing self-respect.

At present, the two armies are facing each other at Baixiong Pass. Xiao Rongxi went to the battlefield in person. No news has been delayed, but Lord Liang is far away in the capital, including a group of royal relatives, the prince's palace, the princess's palace... are all places where he can try to find out the news.

Xiao Rongxi met her firm eyes and laughed, "You are really..."

"Your Majesty, don't try to coax me," Nan Zhen continued, "You are going to the northwest, what should I do in the capital?"

There was another sentence that she didn't say, but she knew that Xiao Rongxi understood.

Xiao Rongxi must be prepared not to come back before leaving Beijing, and she will be the same.

It’s really heartwarming to see some comments about discontinuation and updates.There is indeed a lot to deal with these past few months, and thank you all for always being there!
