Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 155 Emergency Military Situation

It was he who wrote many letters and begged his grandfather many times for this gentian silver gun, before he begged him to have the cheek to mention this in front of her, and only then did she design it herself and give it to him.

He valued it because it was the only thing he could have about her.

She is like the moon in the clouds, and he is like a speck of dust on the ground. For him, she will always be out of reach.

Even this intention is not dared to be known to others, for fear of being known and making fun of him for thinking wildly.

He knew that she did this because she valued grandpa and the Qi family. He was honored by grandpa, but it didn't matter. One day, he would be able to stand in front of her with his head held high, and she would praise him.

"Qi Che, what are you thinking? Why don't you speak?"

Zhong Shuo bumped into his shoulder, and asked with a smile, Qi Che came back to his senses, lowered his eyes, said 'nothing to say', and continued to stab the haystack again and again.

"What I just told you is true. If you really like that girl, you can really ask Her Majesty the Empress to give her a marriage. She will definitely agree. With the emperor's will, who would dare not obey?"

Seeing that Qi Che was stabbing the haystack dully all the time without saying a word, Zhong Shuo winked, "Isn't it even useful for giving a marriage?"

Qi Che remained silent and continued to stab, like a machine.

Zhong Shuo's eyes widened, "Is it true that even granting a marriage is useless? Or do you dare not ask for the decree of a marriage at all?"

Zhong Shuo stared at Qi Che suspiciously, rubbed his forehead, "Who the hell is that?"

Qi Che's stabbing action paused, and said in a deep voice, "Stop thinking about it, practice as soon as you want to practice, and go back to sleep if you don't practice, don't disturb me here!"

"Practice! Why don't you practice? If you don't practice, I will be trained to be a fool by my father!"

Zhong Shuo said with a smile, and while wielding a big knife, he muttered, "Who the hell is that? I'm so curious. Hey, I said Qi Che, you are too disrespectful. It aroused my curiosity, but I didn't tell you." I don't have a brother like you."

Qi Che ignored him, and after stabbing the haystacks, he began to practice the marksmanship taught to him by Lieutenant General Li on the drill ground.

Zhong Shuo was still stubbornly guessing who it was, when he suddenly slapped his forehead, "I know!"

Qi Che's hand holding the gun slightly trembled, and he glanced at him calmly, "Know what?"

"I know who it is!"

Qi Che's expression changed slightly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense! The girl you like must be from the Huns. No wonder, we stand on the city wall and often see Huns girls on the grassland riding by. You must have taken a fancy to a certain girl. Da Zhou and the Huns have a relationship. No wonder you don't dare to speak out about the mortal enmity..."

Qi Che secretly breathed a sigh of relief, ignored Zhong Shuo's nonsense, and continued to practice marksmanship.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhong Shuo thought he had acquiesced. Zhong Shuo, whose curiosity was satisfied, finally let go of this question and came to Qi Che's side to practice together.

"Qi Che, why don't you look like those noble sons in the imperial capital?"

"What's not like?"

"You are more men than them!"

Zhong Shuo pursed his lips, and said disdainfully, "I see that they all have a pretty face, and they look like sissies. Do you still remember Shen Wenqing who was next to the Queen? He was there during the palace banquet. During the Lantern Festival, He was also in the barracks of Zhong's army when the queen came, and he was very favored at first glance! I heard that the queen dismissed the male favorites in the harem, so there are two people left, one is him, and the other is called Chu Li."

"Shen Wenqing, the son of the Shen family, the first noble family in the south of the Yangtze River."

Qi Che knew about Shen Wenqing. Grandpa said that Shen Wenqing was very talented, and he was also trusted and valued by her.

"I don't like these sons of aristocratic families the most. Those who are weak and weak, don't you have a saying? You are a scholar who is useless! But why do you think the empress likes him so much?"

"The Queen's favorite is not him."

When Zhong Shuo heard this, he immediately became interested, "Who is it?"

"It's the leader of the hidden guard, named Wuming."

Zhong Shuo was a little embarrassed at once, he still remembered that on the night of the palace banquet, he was beaten to the ground by Wuming, and he was ashamed and thrown to the sky.

"That man is very powerful, and his skills are particularly good. I can't even pass a single move under him. I can pass a dozen moves under my father's hands. Such a person is only the leader of the hidden guards, and he protects the queen every day. There is no glory, what a pity! If he wants to come to our Zhong family army, he must be a fierce general!"

"There are many people who can be generals. They may protect the queen personally and be liked by the queen, but there are very few."

After hearing what Qi Che said, Zhong Shuo felt that it made some sense.

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Her Majesty the Queen. Although she lost to my father in the battle, I don't know what she said to my father. My father actually agreed to me to go to the battlefield. I still remember that night She used Lieutenant General Li's..."

Zhong Shuo's voice stopped abruptly, and he stared at Qi Che dumbfounded. He was dumbfounded when he saw the gentian silver gun in Qi Che's hand!

That night, the empress used Lieutenant General Li's gentian silver gun!

Seeing him like this, Qi Che knew that he had already guessed it. He stabbed the spear in his hand, pointed it at Zhong Shuo's neck, and said coldly, "If you dare to speak out, I will definitely kill you!"

The tip of the spear was shining coldly under the starlight and the reflection of the bonfire. Zhong Shuo could only feel a slight chill coming from his neck. As long as Qi Che moved forward, the sharp tip of the spear could pierce his neck.

Zhong Shuo twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a stiff smile, and reached out to push the tip of the gun, "Qi Che, don't make trouble, we are good brothers, you wouldn't want my life for a woman, would you?"

The tip of the gun did not move at all, and Qi Che's stern expression, seeing Zhong Shuo's eyes, his face changed slightly, "Qi Che, are you serious?"

Qi Che looked at him expressionlessly. He had sword-like eyebrows and star-eyed eyes. Before entering the barracks, even though he practiced martial arts since he was a child, he still looked like a gentleman. Become calm and resolute, and have a killing spirit on his body. When he just looks at you like that, it can make you feel that this person is really capable of killing.

Zhong Shuo was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Okay, don't talk if you don't want to. I'm not a gossip, so I don't have much to say."

The spear remained motionless, and Zhong Shuo was furious, "I promised you not to say anything! What else do you want? You deserve her—"

As soon as these words came out, seeing Qi Che's face suddenly changed, Zhong Shuo immediately knew he was wrong, he really wanted to bite off his tongue.

But to Zhong Shuo's surprise, Qi Che just gave him a cold look, then withdrew his spear, and continued to practice his marksmanship steadily.

However, I don't know if it was Zhong Shuo's illusion, but Qi Che's marksmanship has a strong murderous look. If he is on the battlefield now, Qi Che would probably be overwhelmed.

Zhong Shuo didn't dare to speak nonsense anymore, fearing that if he said something wrong, he would be stabbed all over by Qi Che.

The two practiced on the training ground in silence, one practiced marksmanship and the other practiced knife skills.

No one knows that these two young men who love each other like brothers will become the most dazzling twin stars on the battlefield in the future, and no one can imagine that fighting side by side today will turn into an enemy and us on the battlefield in the future.

At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty was already full of flames of war, internal and external difficulties, and desolation everywhere.

From the second watch to the fifth watch, the first ray of light appeared in the eastern sky.

Gradually there was movement in the barracks, and the soldiers began to get up. Soon, the drill ground was full of people.

Zhong Jiajun began to practice in the morning, and they could go to breakfast after practicing for an hour.

As a general, Zhong Mo would come to make inspections every day. When he saw Qi Che, who was seriously training in the team, with a satisfied expression on his face, and seeing Zhong Shuo next to him, Zhong Mo frowned.

Sensing his gaze, Zhong Shuo was terrified, raised all his energy, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Only then was Zhong Mo slightly satisfied, and looked away, Zhong Shuo secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and winked at Qi Che.

Qi Che returned a wink, and did not stop at all during the practice.

At this moment, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Lieutenant General Li hurriedly approaching, with a solemn expression on his face, Qi Che's heart froze, and he looked at him secretly.

Lieutenant General Li walked up to Zhong Mo quickly, whispered a word in Zhong Mo's ear, Zhong Mo's face changed immediately, and returned to normal in just a moment.

Qi Che's heart skipped a beat, did something happen?
Just as Zhong Mo was about to leave, he suddenly stopped and looked at Qi Che and Zhong Shuo, "You two come with this general!"

Zhong Shuo and Qi Che glanced at each other, and followed Zhong Mo to the command tent by coincidence. As soon as the curtain was lifted, Mr. Tang, the staff member, greeted him solemnly, and handed Zhong Mo a military report, "General, urgent military situation ! The Xiongnu army is attacking!"
