Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 4 Dayong God of War
"Miss..." Su Hui got up from the ground and ran to Huo Mingzhu, her body was covered with scars, but she still knelt down to Baili Zonglu in tears of joy, "Thank you, General, for saving my life!"

Baili Zonglu hugged Huo Mingzhu, pursed his lips and replied, "Get up."

He never talked much, with a cold appearance, he didn't even seem to make any difference between saving people or killing people, just waiting for the military doctor to come, but Huo Mingzhu was full of thoughts in his arms, staring straight at his face.

"How good-looking am I?" Baili Zonglu laughed jokingly, "Better than a girl's life?"

At this moment, someone rolled off his horse in the dust, and the guards of Baili Zonglu yelled and asked from a distance: "The Ninth Prince of Dayong is here, who is it?!"

Lin Cong Yue, Marquis of Pingyang, rushed over, and when he saw Baili Zonglu, he immediately knelt down and saluted: "Chen Lin Cong Yue didn't know that it was the Ninth Prince who rescued his niece, please accept my bow!"

Baili Zonglu's eyes flashed with surprise, he lowered his head to stare at Huo Mingzhu, his brows eased slightly: "So they are relatives of the Marquis of Pingyang. This king just happened to return to Beijing from Xiangyang, but he didn't want to encounter Tartars here to commit murder, to protect his family and the country." This is the duty of the soldiers, Lord Hou is too polite, please hurry up!"

"Thank you Ninth Prince!" Lin Congyue got up.

"Uncle..." Huo Mingzhu called out, and struggled in Baili Zonglu's arms. Seeing that she seemed to be able to walk, Baili Zonglu let her go.

As soon as her foot touched the ground, Huo Mingzhu stepped on a hand unexpectedly, twisted her ankle, her limp body hit the corpse impartially, and her hand pressed a cold thing in the corpse's arms.

"Miss Huo?"

"Miss……"

Several hands came to support her at the same time, Huo Mingzhu moved quickly, stuffed the thing into his sleeve pocket while in confusion, and then pressed his ankle in pain and moaned.

Lin Congyue was loyal to the imperial court all his life and paid attention to the distinction between superiority and inferiority. Even though Baili Zongru was so polite, he still talked about Huo Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, why don't you thank the Ninth Prince for saving your life!"

Huo Mingzhu already knew Baili Zonglu's identity, but she pretended not to expose it unless he said anything about it herself. When her uncle Lin Congyue reminded her, she knelt down in amazement, her face full of fear: "My daughter, Huo Mingzhu, thank you Jiu." Your lord's grace for saving your life!"

"Miss Huo, please get up!" Baili Zonglu said calmly, and went forward to help Huo Mingzhu's body: "Miss Huo's foot was injured, why are you still kneeling? The military doctor is here, let's take a look at the injury for Miss Huo." .”

The general's iron-blooded tenderness, any woman would probably be fascinated by him, how can he not fall in love with him?

When the military doctor looked at Huo Mingzhu's wounds, Baili Zonglu had already gone to supervise the soldiers to clean up the dead bodies scattered all over the field to appease the wounded. He didn't pay half of his attention to Huo Mingzhu, but only cared about his family and country.

Su Hui narrowly escaped death and treated Baili Zonglu like a benefactor. While rubbing Huo Mingzhu's legs, she quietly said to Huo Mingzhu: "Miss, I heard that this Ninth Prince is the most outstanding brother of the current emperor. Wang, led the army to go out, and now he won the battle with the Tartars, and drove the Tartars to the north of Yanshan Mountain. , Didn't it just happen to be a great marriage? I heard that the Ninth Prince has not made a concubine yet!"

If it weren't for the terrible fruit of the previous life, Huo Mingzhu would feel that what Sulu said was very true, Baili Zonglu is indeed a peerless marriage that cannot be cultivated for hundreds of years, but now...she doesn't want to think about it, just I want to bring Baili Zonglu to a miserable and desperate situation step by step!

"Sulu, keep talking nonsense, be careful that uncle punishes you! If you like Lord Ninth, how about I ask him to accept you as his personal maid? Then you can be with your hero day and night! "Huo Mingzhu said coldly.

"Miss, why are you so fierce, I was just joking, aren't you allowed to talk? You almost died, but Su Yu was just telling the truth anyway..." Su Yu pouted angrily.

At this moment, Lin Congyue, Marquis of Pingyang, came with Baili Zonglu. The slightly bloated figure of the middle-aged man made Lin Congyue look extraordinarily loyal. He smiled and said to Huo Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, take a break and rectify, and leave for Beijing Well, with the Ninth Prince seeing him off all the way this time, it must be safe and sound, and thank you Ninth Prince!"

"That's great!" Su Yu exclaimed happily, seeing that Huo Mingzhu didn't speak, she hurriedly shut her mouth.

Huo Mingzhu stood up enduring the pain in her ankle, looked straight at Baili Zonglu and said, "The Ninth Prince takes care of everything every day, escorting me, will it be too much trouble for the prince?"

Baili Zonglu was slightly taken aback, his sword eyebrows raised upwards, his pair of phoenix eyes looked at Huo Mingzhu's eyes as if examining him, and he didn't see any emotion from her eyes, and his voice was flat and flat: "It's just on the way. , Miss Huo is too worried."

He only looked at Huo Mingzhu for a while, then looked away and turned to the endless wasteland: "The soldiers are almost cleared up, and they are ready to set off. To prevent any accidents, Lord Hou's soldiers and horses will go first, and Miss Huo's carriage will be escorted." Afterwards, I will personally escort you. What do you think, Lord Hou?"

Huo Mingzhu looked at her uncle Pingyanghou, and saw that her uncle had no objection, but was quite satisfied: "Thank you again, Lord Ninth! Mingzhu..." and called Huo Mingzhu's name, blaming her for not understanding etiquette.

After the soldiers and horses were rectified, the convoy was on its way to Beijing again. Huo Mingzhu and Sulu sat in the carriage. Sulu lifted the curtain for a while to look at Baili Zonglu not far ahead, and then chatted endlessly to praise the demeanor and achievements of the God of War in Dayong , Huo Mingzhu listened numbly, with no expression on her face.

In the end, Su Yu was tired from talking and was injured, so she leaned against the car wall and fell asleep.

The wheels were rolling, and the carriage was moving forward without stopping for a moment, Huo Mingzhu took out the cold thing from his sleeve pocket, saw the palm-sized wooden thing with some small characters engraved on it by the sunlight...

She has stayed at the border for many years and knows that this is a military badge, not only a military badge, but also a military badge of the Xiangyang Luo Family Army.

In order to distinguish the identities of the soldiers, and to replace the remains of the soldiers and return to their hometown after the death of the soldiers, each soldier has a military plate engraved with their names and hometowns, which can be said to be the soul of the soldiers. Generally, they never leave their bodies. Only then removed.

If such an important military badge was found from those Luo family soldiers, there would be nothing suspicious, not to mention that it had just gone through a deadly battle, but if this military badge was found from a dead Tartar, it would be too ridiculous!
After being resurrected from the dead and reborn as a human being, Huo Mingzhu did not hesitate to speculate on Baili Zonglu's motives with the worst malice. Could it be that this rescue encounter that she once regarded as God's will was also carefully planned?
