As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 103 I Have a Friend

A few months passed, and Ling Yu was no longer the silly young sister she had just started out with.

But some things cannot be changed.

She is still not very good at such hypocritical courtesy.

While dealing with this person, she unconsciously looked away.

Seems a little absent-minded.

That princess... is indeed very beautiful.

Does she also know Chen Di?

Following her gaze,

The gorgeous flowers are blooming unrestrainedly.

Xiao Xinyue finally saw Mingchen and came up to him: "Sir, next time you leave, please take Xinyue with you!"

She wasn't just speaking in a sweet and coquettish way like other girls, but she truly thought so.

The bold and arrogant playboys are gone, and those who remain are all boring people.

This journey to the gates of death has also lost its luster.

She is very bored these days.

She would rather Mingchen, the suspected traitor in Bloody Clothes, talk to her a few more words.

The desolation and ruin of the northern border made her depressed. She wanted to discuss some issues and gain some truth, but there was no one to talk to.

Mingchen didn't agree, nor did he reject it. He just smiled and said, "I'm not a good horseman. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Your Highness."

Xiao Xinyue rolled her eyes when she heard that.

It’s true that you are not good at horse riding, but you don’t ride a horse!

Not long after they walked out, they saw the pitiful horse that Mingchen had left in the woods.

It's free.

At this time, the little white bird was no longer on Mingchen's shoulder, and no one knew where it had flown to.

But she was sure that it was Mingchen who flew away on the bird that day.

……

The envoys did not stay in the northern border. Time was tight, so they set off immediately.

The two armies faced each other, and the envoy walked from Qianyuan's army to Beilie's direction.

In the Northern Lie Army, Tian Hong cast a deep glance at the strikingly cold-faced general, as if to imprint his image in his mind. This young opponent had taught him a lesson, but the outcome might be uncertain.

He immediately commanded the soldiers to welcome the envoy.

When the two countries are at war, the envoys will not be killed.

Sometimes envoys are consumables for waging wars, such as the Beilie envoy who died in Yueyang City inexplicably.

But sometimes, it is the lubricant for the tense relationship between the two countries, the bridge of communication, and an object that both countries need to protect.

And now, these messengers are the ones.

In the Qianyuan army, the military flags were fluttering, and Ling Yu was riding a horse with a calm expression.

She is now in charge of all the troops in the entire North. In a sense, Mingchen is right, she is the King of the North.

At this moment, she did not care about the gaze of the enemy commander, but just watched the messenger travel away quietly.

The person who lived in her heart was sitting on the horse, waving at her with a smile, and gradually disappeared from her sight.

……

"Liu Hui, I want to ask you something."

After Mingchen left, Lingyu returned to her usual work.

Bei Lie is now much more obedient and basically doesn't attack anymore, and Ling Yu doesn't attack again either.

Both sides had a tacit understanding to some extent.

The envoys have already arrived in the northern border, and it would be impolite to fight them again.

Ling Yu basically spends his time training soldiers and improving their basic qualities.

In her spare time, she hesitated for a moment and spoke to the guard.

"Yes, General! You say!"

The guards stood straight, their faces full of respect.

Ling Yu waved his hand: "Don't be so serious, it's a private matter, relax."

She pursed her lips, as if trying to choose her words, and then asked, "I have a friend who has some problems."

The guard named Liu Hui was stunned for a moment. Why did the general look... a little nervous?

"Oh? What's the problem?"

I can help the general solve his problems!
These are things that can bring honor to his family.

"It's like this. She is a woman, and she has a very good brother with a different surname."

"Hmm? A brother from another family? Are we sworn brothers?"

Ling Yu nodded: "Yes."

Liu Hui smiled and said, "Hey, that's rare. Please continue."

"That brother helped my friend a lot, and they had a very good relationship, so they became sworn brothers and promised to live and die together."

Ling Yu frowned as he spoke, seemingly recalling something, "But my friend doesn't seem to feel it's enough. She always wants to be close to that brother, and after he leaves, she feels a little empty. She even feels a little weird seeing him with a beautiful woman."

Liu Hui raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and unconsciously revealed a strange smile: "Oh?"

Ling Yu looked at the smile and felt it was particularly familiar.

It was just like the smile Mrs. Feng gave her when she was at Lord Feng's house.

Liu Hui smiled and asked her, "Excuse me, General, is your friend available for marriage?"

Ling Yu shook his head: "No."

"Then your friend's relationship is wrong! How can they become sworn brothers? I suggest you act quickly and bring them together. Once you succeed, you'll have secured a happy marriage and become their matchmaker."

"what?!"

Matchmaking? Matchmaking? Matchmaking?

When Ling Yu heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank and his whole body jumped up.

"Forehead……"

Seeing the general making such a big move, Liu Hui couldn't help but shudder.

How?

Did he say the wrong thing?
He said dryly, "It's obvious that your friend likes that younger brother. Can't the General see it?" He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the general's face seemed a little red and his breathing was a little faster.

Happy?

Happy?

like?

Is that like it?
Ling Yu felt that his brain was a little overloaded.

It seemed as if she had never thought about this issue in the past twenty years.

“I can see…I can see…”

Her eyes were a little dazed, and she just replied blankly.

Liu Hui saw that Ling Yu seemed a little strange, so he asked again, "Is the general married?"

A general as outstanding as he is must be able to marry a beautiful and charming bride.

"Cough cough cough~"

Ling Yu coughed lightly, all kinds of thoughts flowing in his mind, a little confused.

He just nodded and said, "I'm married."

"Then the general can't see it~ Hahaha~"

"I need to confirm."

What does it feel like to like someone?

The master never taught her.

……

"Someone must be talking about me~"

A cold air came from the north, and Mingchen sneezed, sighing.

The delegation headed north, but did not set foot on Beilie's land.

But in a sense, this is no longer Qianyuan's land, and it will soon belong to Beilie.

Lizhou is a prefecture bordering Beilie and was also the first prefecture to be conquered.

Mingchen and his group walked through the empty city, a chilly wind blowing through them, chilling them to the bone. This city was even more desolate than Luoli City, with no sign of human life.

Xiao Xinyue pursed her lips slightly and asked Mingchen, "Sir, is there no one here?"

Mingchen shook his head: "It used to be there, but now it's gone."

Can people in enemy-occupied areas still survive?

Either run or die.

He was an extraordinary person, and he could even see a few wild ghosts wandering around the city who were unwilling to leave.

Perhaps it was because they were too weak, without any special features, grey in color, and without any clues.

Xiao Xinyue shook herself when she heard this: "Is that so..."

She understood what Mingchen meant.

Beilie was already short of supplies, so once he captured the city, he would have to plunder it.

This is what war brings to people's lives.

When the country rises or falls, the people suffer.

She lowered her eyes, not out of pity or avoidance, but instead opened her eyes wide and looked, taking in all the desolation and desolation along the way, and imprinting it all in her mind.

Remember what the world really looks like.

The glitz and glamour of the capital is all fake!

The ruined state and county soon passed by, and people appeared again.

Now, they have arrived in Beilie.

When the horse's hooves stepped onto the foreign land, Mingchen felt a cool breeze blowing towards him for no reason.

Something is different.

It was clearly just a step forward, but it felt like entering another world.

Mingchen breathed a sigh of relief and looked around, feeling a little curious.

There is not much difference between the Beilie people and the Qianyuan people, except for slight differences in clothing and culture.

Thousands of years ago, the two countries were still one family.

The envoy team moved forward slowly, surrounded by soldiers.

"Is the war coming to an end?"

"That seems to be the envoy from Qianyuan, right?"

"Finally, the fighting has stopped! If they continue to collect grain, my family will have no food left!"

"We'll give it to you even if we don't have any food! Long live His Majesty! Our army will surely win!"

……

The people would occasionally cast curious glances at them, whispering to each other, some of them breathing a sigh of relief, while others were excited and fanatical.

Compared with the northern border of Qianyuan, although the people here are also very poor, they seem to be in good spirits and are not struggling to survive.

The battlefield is on Qianyuan's side, so the safety of these people can be guaranteed.

Xiao Xinyue walked along, watching quietly, and asked Mingchen a few questions from time to time.

The more she saw and the more she understood, the broader her horizons would be, and she would be less likely to be fooled. This was a rare treasure, something that her royal brother also did not have.

Many kings spend their entire lives sitting in their magnificent palaces, unable to see the real situation outside.

That supreme seat is both a throne and a cage.

The team moved forward slowly, and after another ten days or so, they finally arrived at the Beilie capital, Qingcang.

Compared with Qianyuan's capital Yueyang, this place seems to be less prosperous and wealthy, with fewer people, and is a level behind.

But the city walls are built very high, majestic and domineering.

It is even colder here than in the northern border of Qianyuan. The howling wind makes the flags on the city walls flutter.

Mingchen and his party came from afar, and there were already ministers waiting at the city gate to receive them. The other party did not act arrogantly, but was quite polite. They led Mingchen and his party into the city and made proper arrangements for them.

After a day of rest, the next day.

Before Mingchen goes out, he should go for a walk and learn about the customs and culture of this exotic country.

The minister came again, with a harmonious smile on his face, and said, "Dear guests who have come from afar, tomorrow is the day of the military parade of the new army of the Northern Lie Dynasty. Your Majesty invites all envoys to come and watch."

"May I ask if you would be willing to do me the honor?"
