After I was reborn, I became the queen mother by fortune telling

Chapter 269 Chat with me
As soon as Jiang Yu finished scrubbing, she hurriedly said to Mu Qingyuan: "Your Majesty, I'll go out and pour some water."

Mu Qingyuan gave an "oh", indicating that he knew.

But after Jiang Yu went out, she deliberately dawdled for a long time, turning around, and returned to Mu Qingyuan's tent after a long time.

But as soon as she entered, she found that Mu Qingyuan didn't seem to be inside.

She was suspiciously looking for Mu Qingyuan's figure in the dim candlelight, when she suddenly heard the sound of water splashing in her ears.

Following the sound, I saw a shirtless man standing up from inside the bathtub.

Although only the back was seen, Jiang Yu's face turned red instantly with that tall and straight figure, strong muscles, and the glistening drops of water under the candlelight.

She didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that the person in the tub would turn around suddenly.

"Is it Jiang Yu?" The warrior's keenness made Mu Qingyuan aware of the person coming. He picked up the long robe that was hanging on the side, put it on his body, tied the knot, and stepped out of the bathtub.

When he turned around, seeing Jiang Yu took a step back, he couldn't help laughing and said: "What are you afraid of, I won't eat you. Bring me the clothes in the bag, and I will change into clothes."

"Yes."

Jiang Yu quickly picked out a change of clean clothes from the bag at the side, stretched out her hand from a distance, and handed it to Mu Qingyuan.

Mu Qingyuan looked at her helplessly, took the clothes and changed them.

That night Jiang Yu hardly fell asleep, she listened to Mu Qingyuan's even breathing, but couldn't fall asleep with her eyes closed.

The next day she had dark circles under her eyes, which surprised Qiao Qi.

It's just that Qiao Qi was thinking wrong...

On the third day, Jiang Yu had already learned to fall asleep on her head.

Gradually, the hot water became less and less, and the meals became dry cakes, jerky and soup paste.

It was not until the next city that the food was supplied that they could take a pleasant hot bath.

Their first battle was to retake a town, and they won it with little effort.

Afterwards, Mu Qingyuan's army went all the way to the border between Ningqiu State and Yangzhou, and recovered many towns in Yangzhou that were occupied by Ningqiu State this time.

However, not far from Jiang Yu's hometown, they encountered stubborn resistance from the main force of Ningqiu. They fought for three days and three nights, but there was no progress.

Generals came in and out of Mu Qingyuan's tent day and night, discussing the situation of the battle and laying out new strategies.

After three days and three nights, a group of exhausted generals gathered in Mu Qingyuan's tent again, discussing what to do.

"Your Majesty, our army suffered heavy casualties, no less than [-]."

"How about... withdraw?"

"General Liu, what are you saying to be discouraged at this time? Withdrawing now, wouldn't the [-] brothers who died die in vain?"

"If you don't retreat, then there is only a hard attack. But the walls of the Purple Elephant City are strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and tens of thousands of people may not be able to attack."

"That's the only way to surround them and trap them to death."

"Ningqiu's reinforcements will arrive in the next day, only tomorrow. If we can't break the city, we can only withdraw. Now other people from all walks of life are also at war, and it is not worthwhile to send troops to support here. .”

"General Zhang, don't mention the word siege. The city is full of people from Daxia. After siege for a long time, the food has run out. Maybe..."

Jiang Yu couldn't help shivering when she heard this.

She knew what the general was talking about.

It was almost midnight at this time, and she was looking at the fire in the tent, on which water was boiling, so as to add tea to the generals attending the meeting at any time.

Everyone was arguing endlessly, when Mu Qingyuan suddenly heard Mu Qingyuan say: "I have a plan, let me tell you about it. Tomorrow I will personally lead a group of troops to attack the East Gate. The momentum must be bigger. The Ningqiu Kingdom in the city The army will definitely mobilize its troops to defend the east gate with all its strength. When the troops are almost mobilized, all the rest of your troops will go to attack the west gate."

After he finished speaking, everyone suddenly fell silent.

The strategy is simple, but it might work.

It's just that for Mu Qingyuan, the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, it was too dangerous, and the responsibility on him was too heavy.

What he has to face may be the defense that is pouring out from the opposite side.

And if the offensive is unfavorable and the defeat is rapid, it will not be able to divert the tiger away from the mountain at all, and it will only be a useless sacrifice.

A general said: "Your Majesty, let me go to the east gate!"

"It's not impossible for you to go, but the people of Ningqiu may not be willing to send troops here when they see it is you. Only when I go in person can they think that I am going to fight them with all my strength."

"This is the last big city that was occupied by Ningqiu in the Great Xia Kingdom. It is of great significance to take it down."

"If there is no objection to this matter, let's do it like this, and then we will discuss the details of the battle in detail."

They continued to discuss until midnight before the generals dispersed one after another.

Jiang Yu skillfully brought hot water and asked Mu Qingyuan to wash first.

Mu Qingyuan looked at Jiang Yu with a tired face, and said apologetically, "Thank you for your hard work, you haven't slept so late, and you still have to take care of me."

"It's not hard, these are what I should do." Jiang Yu replied seriously.

After Mu Qingyuan lay down, Jiang Yu went to work outside the tent for a while, and was ready to sleep when she came back.

After entering, she suddenly saw that a corner of the thin quilt covering Mu Qingyuan's body had slipped off, so she went to pick up the corner of the quilt and covered Mu Qingyuan's body.

While covering the quilt, she glanced at Mu Qing who was asleep.

Sword eyebrows, thin lips, handsome face with sharp edges and corners, eyelashes cast two shadows on the lower eyelids under the candlelight, looking a bit childish.

Yes, he is only in his 20s.

After watching for a while, Jiang Yu's lips could not help but bend slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

She froze for a moment, and laughed for no reason.

She was about to stand up and leave when suddenly, her hand was grabbed by someone she thought was asleep.

"Chat with me." Mu Qingyuan didn't open his eyes, but seemed to be able to see her expression.

Jiang Yu's expression froze, but she still sat on the floor next to the couch where Mu Qingyuan slept, letting him hold her hand.

"I have received battle reports from the northern border in the past few days. The battle situation in the northern border is very beneficial to Daxia. Given time, the rebellion will definitely be put down."

"You have suffered a lot these days. You live and sleep with me. You can't eat or sleep well. When I saw that you scratched the back of your hand, you deliberately covered it with your sleeve so that I wouldn't see it."

"I'm going out tomorrow. You've heard what I said just now. I don't know when I'll be back tomorrow. Take good care of yourself. Go to sleep when you're tired. You don't have to wait for me to come back."

When Jiang Yu heard his gentle words, it was almost as unreal as in a dream.

She gave a soft "hmm" to show that she heard it.
