Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

The lingering love last night is still difficult to overcome the pain of separation today.

The army is about to march, and Your Majesty and Princess will carry it out together.

"I wish the army a triumphant return. I am in Shengjing, waiting for the return of all the soldiers to protect our great national prestige——"

"Protect the prestige of the country and make a triumphant return as soon as possible -" everyone shouted in unison, with high morale.

Chu Xi stood next to Nangong Rui, staring at Xia Houqi without saying a word. Xiahou Qi also looked at Chu Xi from time to time, with reluctance written in their eyes.

When Xia Houqi turned to leave, Chu Xi quickly stuffed a handkerchief into his hand.

Xia Houqi held the handkerchief firmly in his hand, and the smile gradually spread in his eyes.

The two people looked at each other and smiled, communicating with each other without the need for words to elaborate.

After watching Xia Houqi leave from a distance, Chu Xi followed Nangong Rui back to the palace.

After returning to the palace, Chu Xi wrote a letter, fell into a deep sleep, and summoned Nan Xi again.

The first thing Nan Xi did when she woke up was to read the letter Chu Xi left for her.

Nan Xi personally said:

Xia Hou has left for the front line. I have no worries anymore and will return my body to you. If there is any news about him, please inform me in time.

Handwritten by Chu Xi.

In just two sentences, Nan Xi could see Chu Xi's reluctance and deep affection.

Nan Xi sighed helplessly and lit the letter on fire to eliminate any traces.

The lights were beautiful last night, and she also enjoyed the beautiful scenery with them. Even Chu Xi didn't notice that she appeared for a while last night.

When she appeared last night, she was hugging Xia Houqi tightly. She was greedy for the tenderness in Xia Houqi's arms and couldn't help herself.

But in just that moment, she handed over control of her body to Chu Xi, letting them spend the last night before leaving.

Xia Houqi and Nangong Fuyang jointly led an army of [-] people and rushed to the border town day and night. After ten days, they finally arrived at another city outside the border city.

This city is called Xiangmeng City, and it is adjacent to the border city, only ten miles apart. Standing on the highest wall of Xiangmeng City, you can see the scene of the border city.

The leader of Xiangmeng City is Xiao Yuanyu, who is responsible for garrisoning Xiangmeng City and ensuring the safety of the people there.

When Xiahou Qi and others arrived, he led his main soldiers to greet them at the city gate.

"My subordinates respectfully welcome the Regent and His Highness the First Prince——"

"There is no need for false courtesy. Let me enter the city quickly and settle down the soldiers." Xia Houqi interrupted Xiao Yuanyu's polite remarks.

"Yes, open the city gate and welcome the prince and others into the city——"

Hearing Xia Houqi's words, Xiao Yuanyu was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly reacted, and then ordered the city gate to be opened wide, and let Xia Houqi and all the soldiers in.

Immediately, he sent people to settle down the [-] troops.

"Let's talk about the situation in the border town first. When was the last time you contacted Shen Changyi?" Xia Houqi asked Xiao Yuanyu immediately after sitting down.

The generals stationed in the city would write letters and exchange information every few days.

"Back to your lord, my subordinate has been in contact with General Shen a month ago. I heard about the fall of the border town half a month ago. I also sent people to investigate the news, but none of my subordinates returned the news. Not daring to act rashly, I immediately wrote to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court would send troops for support."

Xiao Yuanyu told the time when he last contacted Shen Changyi, and what he had tried to contact people in the border town, but unfortunately, there was no news about Shen Changyi.

Hearing this, Xia Houqi's face became even more ugly. Although he was mentally prepared for Shen Changyi to die for his country, he still couldn't help but be annoyed when he heard Xiao Yuanyu say this again.

Seeing that Xia Houqi's face was dark, Xiao Yuanyu set his sights on Nangong Fuyang.

"It's getting late today, why don't I arrange for the prince and the eldest prince to rest first and make plans tomorrow."

"Do you think I can sleep peacefully under this situation? Immediately summon the generals of Xiangmeng City to discuss an attack strategy tonight and launch rescue to the border town as soon as possible!"

Xia Houqi couldn't wait any longer, not only because Shen Changyi's life and death were unknown, but also because there were thousands of people in the border town!

For so many days, none of their people have been able to enter the border town, and they have no idea of ​​the life and death of the people. If they encounter a crazy leader, it is not impossible to massacre the city!

"If you are a subordinate, go and summon them now."

After saying that, Xiao Yuanyu quickly called all the generals over.

"Do you have a defense plan around the border town and Xiangmeng City?" Xia Houqi asked coldly.

"Yes, here."

Soon, the defense plans around the two cities were brought over. Xia Houqi laid them out on the stone platform and looked at them with everyone, hoping to find out the weaknesses of the border city's defense so that he could attack the border city in one fell swoop.

But it is a pity that a group of people gathered around the defense map for a long time and felt that the defense in the border city was very strict and they could not find any loopholes at all.

As a result, Xia Houqi was even more curious, how could the border city be lost under such rigorous defense?

"This prince has a suggestion. Please listen to it and see if it is feasible."

After Nangong Fuyang was silent for a long time, he finally spoke his first words today, and everyone's eyes were on him.

"The eldest prince can just speak frankly."

At this time, Xia Houqi abandoned his usual prejudice against the eldest prince and wanted to hear what he had to say.

"Since we can't find the weak point in the defense of the border city, we might as well do the opposite and go to the most heavily guarded place to inquire. Because we don't know what the situation is inside, I think it is not appropriate to attack in a large scale, so as not to hurt everyone in the city. The people of Shengguo are better off sneaking in alone to find out the news."

"My subordinates have sent out several people before, but no one has returned yet. I am afraid that the First Prince's suggestion will not be easy to implement."

Xiao Yuanyu couldn't help but frowned, wondering why the eldest prince still took such an approach, it was obviously no longer feasible.

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Nangong Fuyang did not respond to Xiao Yuanyu's words, but looked at Xia Houqi, waiting for him to make a decision.

With so many people present, he couldn't say in front of Xiao Yuanyu that it was the people he sent out.

Besides, the secret guards around Xia Houqi are not comparable to those under Xiao Yuanyu. Sneaking into the border town must be easy.

Xia Houqi also understood another layer of meaning in Nangong Fuyang's words.

He was really concerned and confused. He didn't expect that the people around him were much better than Xiao Yuanyu's people. Without knowing the depth of the other party, it was the safest way to send a single person to find out the information.

"In this case, I will arrange for my subordinates to sneak into the border town to find out the news. If that doesn't work, I will implement a force attack strategy." Xia Houqi said thoughtfully.

"My lord, think twice. Based on previous experience, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back!" Xiao Yuanyu was the first to jump out and object to this method.

He has sacrificed so many subordinates, why does the prince still not believe that this method will not work?

I have officially changed my map writing. It has about 5-10 words. If you don’t like this kind of plot, just skip it~~
