Marrying blindly and by mistake, the general’s misplaced wife

Chapter 218 More than friends, not enough lovers

Listening to the endless debate in the court, Emperor Qi Sheng felt his head was buzzing. He coughed lightly, suppressed the voices, and asked in a deep voice: "Huang Qing, how are the food preparations going?"

Huang Tianhe, the Minister of Household Affairs, came out: "Back to the emperor, the first batch of grain and grass has been shipped to the east with Taifu Ye, and the second batch of grain and grass has been fully prepared and can be shipped tomorrow!"

Qisheng Emperor rubbed his brows: "Fu Qing!"

Fu Sitong came out.

"What do you think of this battle?"

Fu Sitong pondered for a moment and then said: "The regent of Tianze is known as the God of War. He is famous for his treacherous fighting style. Many people have suffered losses at his hands. If there is really a spy in the army who collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country, the regent of Tianze There must be a map of the distribution of our city defense troops in the east. This battle will be difficult to fight!"

Qi Sheng Emperor's eyes darkened: "So, the Prime Minister still thinks that we should seek peace?"

Fu Sitong said nothing.

Xia Haicheng came out and said: "Your Majesty, the small loss in the Eastern Territory can be undone. If Taifu Ye can win a battle next, the situation will not be too bad. Just be afraid, Taifu Ye will not be able to defeat him!"

The prince came out and said: "Father, I would like to ask Destiny to send grain and grass to the eastern border to supervise the army and appease the morale of the army. Please allow it!"

The Eastern Territory is the Eastern Territory that his grandfather's family has guarded for more than ten years. Now his grandfather has been escorted back and imprisoned in a sky prison. The father did not send anyone to interrogate him, nor did he pay any attention to it. After all, the trial was going to take place in the next few days.

He did not believe that his grandfather would collaborate with the enemy and betray the country. If Master Ye wins, there is still room for maneuver in this matter, and he can get more opportunities to find out the truth. But if Taifu Ye is defeated, his father will definitely be furious, and the courtiers will immediately add insult to injury. No one will care whether my grandfather is wronged. In the face of such specious evidence, the entire Wen family will die!

Xia Chixiao also came out: "Your Majesty, please order me to go to the east with the prince to help Taifu Ye defend the land and the territory!"

Wenxuan Hou Yangxuanwu hurriedly came out: "Your Majesty, no, Taifu Ye has been defeated, but fortunately it was only a small defeat. The regent of Tianze is coming with menace, and he is invincible. The plan for now is to negotiate peace as soon as possible. This way, it would be better to give up some money and ask Tianze to withdraw his troops without making Tianze angry! "

The prince said angrily: "Marquis Wenxuan, Tianze invaded our Shangqi frontier with his invading troops and attacked three cities in a row. The soldiers on the frontier are still fighting bloody battles. As a noble general and a prince, your bones are so soft? Peace talks, peace talks. "You only have peace talks in your mind. Do you think this is a problem that peace talks can solve?"

If there is a peace negotiation, my grandfather will definitely be listed with more crimes by these people.

If there is a peace negotiation, the Eastern Territory will lose more than just three cities?

If there is a peace negotiation, how will the people in the lost cities in the east survive? Wouldn’t it be a joke for the soldiers who died in bloody battles on the battlefield?
Since Marquis Wenxuan had long been on the side of the eldest prince, he naturally treated the prince with sincere words: "Does Your Highness have to wait until the matter is irreversible, and then spend a greater price to make up for it?"

"You are so ambitious that you destroy your own prestige! Are you weak, or are you just Tianze's spy?"

Marquis Wenxuan knelt down in front of Qi Sheng Emperor with tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty, I am so loyal, but I am being questioned like this by the prince. I beg your Majesty to make the decision for me!"

"That's enough!" Qi Sheng Emperor rubbed his forehead in displeasure. He was out of energy and dizzy from the noise.

When the hall was quiet, he slowly said: "The prince will lead two thousand soldiers to escort the grain and grass and supervise the army. We will set off tomorrow!"

"Retreat!"

The matter was settled. But Wen Xuanhou and the others exchanged glances, with a secret joy in their eyes.

This is their purpose.

From the capital to the east, it is a thousand miles away. When the prince leaves the capital, he lacks a protective umbrella.

Although the Wen family cannot afford to make trouble now, Qisheng Emperor will not easily depose the prince. But what if the prince makes a big mistake or disappears?
The prince had no objections to Emperor Qi Sheng's arrangements. He was transporting grain and grass to the east, just in time to investigate the matter of his grandfather's treason. He was even more anxious and ordered the grain and grass from the Ministry of Revenue to be loaded quickly. He had already lost his mind. Like an arrow!
When Mrs. Ye heard about it and rushed to the East City Gate early in the morning to bring something to Ye Shijing, she learned that the prince had already left two hours ago.

Mrs. Ye sighed softly, and Chu Nanning, who accompanied her, comforted her: "Aunt, you don't have to worry about uncle. I believe that with uncle's ability, he will be able to regain the lost ground quickly and return in triumph."

Mrs. Ye grabbed her hand with a hint of worry in her eyes: "Nan Ning, I heard that your uncle... lost the first battle. Is it true?"

Not many people in the court knew about this news, and the battle report was sent directly to the court.

Chu Nanning said: "The victory or defeat on the battlefield can't mean anything. You have to believe in uncle!"

This comfort seemed a little feeble, but at this moment, there was really no stronger explanation. Because Ye Shijing was indeed defeated in his first battle. The latest news hasn't come back yet, and Chu Nanning doesn't know what the specific situation is over there.

"I know it's useless to say anything now. Auntie, taking good care of yourself is the key to letting uncle fight with peace of mind! Only when the rear is safe can the front be at ease!"

Mrs. Ye smiled absently and turned her head: "We have been living a stable life in the capital these years. I almost forgot that your uncle was originally a military commander. Maybe he has always taken good care of me, but this time we parted, I actually let him I’m a bit confused. It makes you laugh!”

"I can understand that aunt is worried about uncle, but it is useless for us to worry here. Aunt, the things you want to give to uncle can be sent through the inn. If you are in a hurry, I will help you get it to Flying Pigeon to pass the message!"

"It's not that I'm anxious, I just can't let it go. But you're right, I can't help with the war, so I'll do what I can to help!"

Xia Chixiao's request to fight against the Holy Emperor did not agree, but he accepted the imperial edict and left the capital.

When he left, he was very reluctant to leave, and his eyes when looking at Chu Nanning were almost tense.

Now that the two of them get along, they are more than friends, not lovers yet.

Of course, this is Chu Nanning.

Xia Chixiao's heart has long since fallen.

Looking at Xia Chixiao's eyes, Chu Nanning's heart softened. She was not a fool. How could she not feel anything about Xia Chixiao's intentions?
She came closer, her voice was low and gentle, with a hint of tenderness at the end: "I'm waiting for you to come back!"

Xia Chixiao's eyes lit up, and he really wanted to hug her tightly into his arms. But he couldn't now. He just hugged her and whispered in her ear: "Wait for me!" and then reluctantly let go.

Although he was very low-key when he left, he could not hide the fact that he mobilized two thousand soldiers and horses. Xia Haicheng turned black with anger: "Shu Zi, does he have this lord as a father in his eyes? He didn't even think about leaving the capital. Come and say goodbye to me! He is not filial, so don’t blame me for being ruthless!" (End of Chapter)
