Xiao Chong: The Abandoned Concubine Shocks the World

Chapter 79
"My lord, there is an urgent military report. Your lord is waiting in the meeting hall. Please come back quickly."

The guards beside King Ji knelt anxiously to report, breaking the warm atmosphere.

Someone came to reveal He Zhenghan's identity, and the noisy teahouse fell silent for a moment, and then there was the sound of tables and chairs colliding, and everyone knelt down to salute, with reverence and enthusiasm in their eyes.

In the Daming Mansion, the eldest son He Zhenghan has a higher reputation than King Ji.

"Master, let's go." Seeing his eyes turning cold, Yao Tong quickly held his hand and said with a smile, "I am very happy to have you by my side today."

He Zhenghan held her hand instead, the coldness in his eyes gradually faded, he stood up, picked her up, and carried her into the carriage, "I didn't have a good time today, when I am free, I will take you around Daming Mansion .”

"Tong is waiting."

When he was about to leave, Yao Tong leaned over to kiss his lips, touched him lightly, and said with a smile.

"Master, the military situation is urgent, you go out quickly."

Seeing that his eyes were burning and his pupils were dark, Yao Tong stepped back a few steps and smiled slyly.

With He Zhenghan's skills, it was easy to catch her, but it was extremely rare for her to look so complacent and agile, and he was delighted to see her.

"Wait for Master to come back." The dark eagle eyes were full of hints, and Yao Tong's face became hot.

He Zhenghan got on the horse, stuck out his tongue, licked his lips, and laughed softly.

King Ji's personal guards accidentally caught sight of this smile, and they felt chills all over their bodies. They were used to the cold face of the prince, and when they first saw him smile, they became even more frightened.

"The prince is here." All the subordinates in the conference hall saw the heroic man stepping forward, their eyes lit up, as if they had finally found their backbone.

Even King Ji seemed relieved.

"Father."

He Zhenghan walked up to King Ji and saluted respectfully.Since returning from Liangzhou, he paid special attention to these etiquettes in front of King Ji, especially when he was in front of many officials.

"You look first."

King Ji was very useful, and passed the urgent report in his hand.

"Beidi slaughtered Yunzhou Mansion?"

After reading the letter, He Zhenghan's eagle eyes glowed with blood. Although Yunzhou Mansion belongs to Hedong Road, it is located at the northernmost side of Hedong Road and borders Hebei Road.

Because Hedong Road is adjacent to the Yellow River in the west and Taihang in the east, the two roads are separated by natural dangers, and it is difficult for foreign enemies to enter.

Therefore, under Huo Xun's governance, Hedong Road was relatively peaceful, but it was unexpected that Beidi people attacked Yunzhou Mansion at night, and broke the city in just two days and nights.

In order to frighten other state capitals, Beidi people slaughtered the entire city and built two tall Beijing Temples with countless corpses.

"After the Di people slaughtered Yunzhou Mansion, they divided their troops into two groups, all the way to Jinyang, and all the way to come to us in Jizhou." The way will be unimpeded. Lord Huo, the governor of Hedong Road, has more than enough benevolence, but not enough courage. The officials under his command may not dare to face the ferocious Di people."

"Bring me a map."

He Zhenghan fixed his eyes on the map, and said after a while: "Cangzhou."

"The meaning of the son is that the Di people want to attack Cangzhou?"

King Ji paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, "Cangzhou must not be lost. Zhenghan, you bring your troops and horses to rescue yourself."

"The son takes command."

Half of Jizhou's soldiers and horses are in Liangzhou, and Chen Bing's 20 soldiers in the northern border cannot move, and they must guard against Beidi's surprise attack.There are not many soldiers left that can be mobilized, which is why King Ji and others are worried.

At the critical moment, He Zhenghan simply took the order, like a needle that stabilizes the sea, so that everyone could rely on him, dispatched troops, raised food and grass, and moved swiftly.

"Madam, it's almost midnight, go to bed first." Jinxia rubbed her eyes sleepily.

"I'm not sleepy, you go to sleep first."

Yao Tong couldn't sleep. The yard she lived in was close to the front yard, and she could hear the constant sound of footsteps. Moreover, the lights in the front yard were brightly lit and never went out. This meant that something big was about to happen.

"Madam doesn't sleep, there is no reason for the servants to sleep first."

Jinxia refused to sleep first, so Yao Tong followed her.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and Jinxia couldn't hold on anymore, her head nodded.Yao Tong didn't feel sleepy at all, and suddenly there was a bang, which exploded in the dark night sky.

She was no stranger to this kind of sound. It was the sound of firecrackers about to send troops, and she had heard it before.

Hearing this voice, she couldn't bear it anymore.

"Ma'am, what's wrong?"

Jinxia woke up suddenly, and saw her wife got out of bed. Her leg injury had not healed, and she suddenly fell to the ground, unable to stand still, trembling, and rushed to support her.

"Jinxia, ​​take me out to the front yard."

Yao Tong's heart was pounding, and panic gripped her mind.

"Slaves go to push the cart."

Although Jinxia didn't understand why she was so anxious to go to the front yard in the middle of the night, seeing her anxious expression overflowing, she didn't dare to persuade her anymore, she pushed the cart and helped her sit down, and walked out of the yard.

When he reached the courtyard gate, he was stopped by the guards.

"Ma'am, this servant has asked someone to invite the Shizi."

Yao Tong shook his head, "Listen, there is so much commotion outside, and Tianshu and Tianquan are not there, maybe something serious has happened. He should be very busy, so don't trouble him."

This is for Jinxia to hear, but also for herself.

"What happened?" Jin Xia turned pale.

"Ma'am, it's cold in the middle of the night, my servant will push you back."

After a long time, Yao Tong nodded.

Before he had gone far, the courtyard door suddenly opened, and Yao Tong hurriedly turned his head.

The person who came was He Zhenghan.

The black armor on his body is heavy, but he doesn't look bloated in the slightest. He strode forward, which further complements his broad shoulders and long legs. He is full of general demeanor.

"You are going on an expedition."

The look of joy at seeing him at the beginning gradually dimmed, and Yao Tong spoke in a low voice.

He Zhenghan was going to rush to the camp, and the whole army set off immediately, but he changed his footsteps a moment before leaving and stepped into this courtyard.

"A Tong, you come with me."

He didn't know how long this battle would last, but this time was different from before, the battle was dangerous and he couldn't bring Yao Tong with him.

She can only stay in Ji Wangfu.

And grandma was prejudiced against her. When he was not around, if she did something again, it would only be her who would suffer.

"This is the yard of the princess?"

He Zhenghan pushed her all the way quickly, the cold night wind hit her face, but Yao Tong didn't care, as long as she followed him, she felt at ease.

She didn't ask happily until she saw the name of the gate in front of her.

"Master?"

The woman guarding the gate opened the door sleepily, her impatient expression turned into panic when she saw the person in front of her clearly.

He Zhenghan went into the yard by himself.

Soon, the courtyard that had fallen into a deep sleep woke up, the lights came on, and human voices sounded.

"My lord, the princess is here to invite you."

When she was woken up in her sleep, Princess Ji's complexion was not good and her expression was cold.

"Father wanted my second brother to go out with me, but I didn't want to." The relationship between the mother and son was cold, and He Zhenghan didn't want to waste time, so Princess Ji frowned as soon as he opened his mouth.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

He Zhenghan lowered his head to straighten Yao Tong's hair that was blown by the wind, and smiled slightly: "He is not familiar with bowing and horses, and he can't endure hardships. He has a high status, so I don't feel at ease following others. I can only take him with me personally. gone."

Concubine Ji glanced at him, she had always been reluctant to endure hardships, but he was getting older, and he was the second master of Prince Ji's mansion, without military achievements, he was not beautiful after all.

When she realized it and wanted to make arrangements for her second son, she realized that the eldest son, whom she hated deeply, had already grown wings.

If he is willing to take Zhengping with him personally, those unruly generals in the army will really see Zhengping in their eyes.

"I just want the concubine to promise me one thing." He Zhenghan could see that she was moved, and it was also something that was beneficial to her beloved son, so of course she would be moved.

"In the days when I'm not here, protect Ah Tong, and I won't allow her to hurt another hair."

Princess Ji didn't expect that this was what he asked for.

Yao Tong felt a gaze sizing him up. It took so long for Princess Ji to look at her.

The disgust in Princess Ji's eyes was undisguised, after all, she was the daughter of that woman, the woman who made her feel ashamed.

Looking away quickly, Princess Ji is a smart woman who never lets her emotions influence her rationality. She lost control only once in her life - when she gave birth to her eldest son.

"It's no problem to protect her." Her voice was cold, "But, what status do you want to give her? If it's a concubine, is it worthy of me to protect her?"

"Mother and concubine don't want to?"

"I am a majestic Princess Ji, only my direct daughter-in-law is worthy of my protection."

He Zhenghan frowned, not understanding how his mother would make such a request.

Princess Ji looked at him mockingly, "Why don't you want to?"
