Princess Fuyao

Chapter 112 Farewell
"What does Master Ji mean by saying this, is that you Golden Arrows gathered soldiers and civilians to fight desperately and bloody, and only a few days of victory?"

"Yes!" Fuyao replied very calmly, looking directly at Chen Dong, "We have less than 2 people, and there is a serious shortage of weapons. It is indeed the result of all the people in the city who have given their all to defend the city for a month."

But for Chen Dong, the victory came very easily.Along the way, he felt uneasy, had trouble sleeping and eating, and even deliberately delayed the march. He really had the realm of "going to the thief for seven hundred miles, and Kuma Qiang fought alone".Now that the Tartars were fleeing, he felt that he had made a great contribution, and he thought arrogantly: that's what war is all about, and the horror and tragedy that were rumored in the past were just exaggerated intentionally by the frontline soldiers in order to obtain the honor of the court. It's not that dangerous, and it's not that scary. Now, facing Fuyao, this idea came up strongly again.

"Isn't your report to the court a bit exaggerated? Like what you said now, it seems that the Tartars are so powerful and difficult to deal with. Do they have the power to overpower others and demean themselves? How do I see that, Tartars? When we were miles away, did you pack up your things and run away?"

"Before you arrived, the Tartars fought fiercely against the Golden Arrow Collection for two days and two nights. Both sides were exhausted and had just stopped in the middle of the night. After a long battle, we burned their food and grass. If you don't have the capital to fight against the imperial army, why don't you just wait for death if you don't run away?"

"You burned the grain and grass of the Tartars? Why does that sound funny to me, did the Tartars hoard the grain and grass in the city of Golden Arrow Market?"

The third prince heard his cousin's words becoming more and more explicit and outrageous, so he couldn't help coughing slightly.Chen Dong misunderstood this meaning, and stared at Fuyao with bulging goldfish eyes.

"Marshal Chen, can't we go out of the city to attack? It's dangerous, but as long as it's beneficial to the war, what's the point of being smashed to pieces? Just four nights ago, Liang Guohou personally brought five hundred warriors and set off at midnight. When I returned to the city, I not only burned the grain depot of the Tartars in Shiwei Village, but also fought with General Guo Bin in front of the city gate of Jinjianji, killing hundreds of Tartars. Ming Jin withdraws troops, and will achieve even greater victories."

"Could it be that the Tartars were made of mud? In your previous battle report, you bragged that you burned countless food, grass, soldiers and horses for the Tartars. Now you say that, how can people listen to it and find it unbelievable?"

"Marshal Chen, the facts are all there, you can send someone to watch with me." Fuyao stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction of Liushui Cliff, "The whole valley has been burned black, and the rotten smell hasn't dissipated yet."

Chen Dong was furious in his heart. If he didn't go today, it seemed that this person in front of him would have trouble with him: "Lin Yuan, take someone with you and follow Lord Ji to see how much food and grass they have burned for the Tartars."

The third prince was so angry that this Chen Dong was like a pig. In the capital, with him and his mother protecting him, no one dared to provoke him, so he didn't realize it.For Fuyao to be able to say that, she must have been prepared, wishing for someone to witness her achievements, you'd better send yourself up there.

When Chen Dong was doing this, he didn't forget to observe the third prince's face from the corner of his eye. He saw that although his face was calm, his hands were tightly clenched. He thought that the master was in the same mood as himself, so he added: "Bring a few more people and listen to Master Ji's talk about how he burned the food and grass of the Tartars. We will also learn more from her."

The third prince was completely speechless, so he could only lower his head to look at his hands, to see if there was any dust in the fingernails.

Sure enough, as the third prince was worried, although he hinted not to publicize the achievements of the army and the people with golden arrows, it still sounded too interesting to set the sky lanterns on fire. When Zi Zi attacked the city, the Marquis of Liang Guo dared to take the risk of leading his troops out, and gave the Tazi a fatal blow from behind. This courage and strategy were admired by the soldiers, and he could not suppress them. Fuyao they are deeply revered.

Calm, stable, calm, courageous and resourceful, the third prince admired Ji Fuyao very much in his heart, and was thinking about how to take her as his own.

Capable people are often proud of their talents and will not easily cling to the powerful. The harder it is to win over a person, the greater their own value.The third prince knew this very well, and his intentions towards Fuyao became a little more serious.

Chen Dong didn't like to do anything else, but guessing people's feelings was a compulsory course every day, otherwise how could he catch the eyes of the third prince and imperial concubine.But every day in the capital, they didn't have much to do, and the nature of ambition and talent was not exposed. This time, the commander of the reinforcements made the third prince very disappointed with him.

Chen Dong faintly sensed this, and also saw that the third prince's attitude towards Fuyao was unusual. He thought about it all night, but when there was no better countermeasure, he decided to return to court as a teacher.

The Tartars were all driven away, and there was no need for reinforcements to stay in Jinjianji.As long as he leaves this place, the third prince will no longer have contact with Ji Fuyao, and with Fuyao's lofty personality, the connection between them will be cut off.

Some people are like this. They can't deal with the enemy, but they make mistakes for their own people.

"Marshal Chen, the Golden Arrow Collection was besieged by the enemy, and suffered heavy losses. I have requested from the humble position that when the army returns, leave [-] soldiers and horses here, plus enough food, grass and weapons. I can even borrow the Golden Arrow Collection temporarily. I'll write you an IOU. I'm worried that the Tatars will turn around and come back after you leave." No one is as strong as Silver Tiger in guarding the Golden Arrow Collection.

"How is it possible!" Chen Dong was not tall enough to look down to express coercion, so he could only look at Yinhu with his chin, which was considered contemptuous.

"When the army arrived, the Tartars fled in anticipation of the wind, but did not wipe out their vital forces. However, our side has tried our best to defend. Now it is at the end of its strength and has no ability to fight the Tartars again. To be on the safe side, I invite Marshal Chen Think twice."

How could Chen Dong make wedding dresses for others?No matter how Yinhu presents the facts and makes sense, he just refuses to agree.

"Isn't it too bulky for us to bring so many food, grass, and arrows back?" Although the third prince is valuable, he is only training with the army. The emperor did not give him any position. Expert, knowing that the more I help to intercede, the more awkward this guy will be, so I have to say something from this direction.

Chen Dong thought about it, but he didn't dare to confront the third prince too obviously, so he agreed.

"These are all from the Ministry of Military Affairs. You should write an IOU." Although he definitely didn't need his personal assets to repay, Chen Dong still wanted to make Yinhu miserable.

"Okay!" Yinhu didn't think it was disobedient, took the pen and paper given by the soldiers in front of the account, and handed it to Chen Dong.

Chen Dong was so angry that Yinhu borrowed all the arrows he brought, and kept most of the food.

"Give it to him!" The third prince pretended to be angry.

Sure enough, this attitude made Chen Dong secretly happy. He felt that Yinhu was disgusted. When he left the camp, he did something wrong and didn't keep as much as the IOU, but Yinhu was quite satisfied.

Chen Dong is an idiot, doesn't he understand that there are still procedures for acceptance?Zhao Yinhu gave the IOU, but he deliberately withheld it to let the emperor know, isn't he trying to discredit himself?The more the third prince looked at Chen Dong, the more he disliked him, and he decided in his heart that he would tell his mother and uncle when he returned to Beijing that he would never talk to this guy again.

Here, Yinhu is saying goodbye to the "Central Army", while Guo Bin over there is interrogating Ren Bibo from northern Xinjiang: "Why did it take so long to arrive? Has Marshal Guo been unable to draw troops?"

"Having concerns about this, the Tartars wanted to open a gap from northern Xinjiang, so that they could go straight to the capital. Marshal Guo didn't dare to be careless, but he redeployed the defenders and forced more than 1 people to come. This time I It was late, but it was due to other reasons. Do you know? Tartar spies led a group of people to pry big rocks from the mountain and block the road of Eagle's Mouth. Whether we detour or clear it, it will take ten and a half days Monthly. In the end, we found the local government and cleared the road. Since the Tatars have the idea of ​​collecting golden arrows, they probably won’t let it go like this. It is very important to ensure that the road is smooth. The reason why we came late gone."

"Oh, that's it." Guo Bin's tone softened, "Why do the Tartars know our route, as well as the defense of the guard and the city so clearly? If Master Ji hadn't taken over the defense of the Golden Arrow Collection in time, Now this site has long been changed."

"Ah? Here, how many spies did the Tartars send here?" Ren Bibo was shocked and frightened.He is not afraid of fighting face to face, but when he thinks that someone will be stabbed in the back, his face changes.

"Since the situation in northern Xinjiang is tense, let's go back quickly. I don't know if the county magistrate of Eagle Mouth has found that spy?"

"No."

"Have the guards patrolled along the road to ensure that the road is smooth?"

"It should be. I warned you when I left. I'm afraid that he is a guy who doesn't remember to eat. He forgets the pain when his scar is healed. He will be in trouble if he doesn't take my threat seriously in a few days. That guy also I don’t know how I became an official, but I’m just a pig’s head waiting to die. Wait, when I get back to Daying, let Marshal Guo come to join him.”

"If that's the case, our brothers might have to guard this road. I'll leave Zhao Yu behind when I pass by this time, and 'assist' the local officials in their work." Guo Bin gritted his teeth fiercely.

Before leaving, Guo Bin bid farewell to Yinhu and Fuyao. Although they didn't get along for long, he liked Yinhu very much, but seeing Fuyao made him feel very uncomfortable. The youthful feelings he once had were still strong now, but he couldn't help He expressed that Zhao Yinhu came from behind and always looked at Fuyao with a private eye, which made him feel sour and very sad.

He didn't know whether he should give up, or work harder to get back what he lost.

People are close to the water, so I don't have an advantage.With a heart full of sourness, he gave Fuyao a captured dagger.

Yinhu sees Fuyao holding it in his hand full of joy, and secretly plans to go to Yinlou when he returns to Beijing, order a scabbard that is more beautiful, let the blacksmith make a sharper knife, and replace the one in Fuyao's hand.Yinhu didn't know that Fuyao thought the knife was too expensive, so he returned it later.

Guo Bin left sadly, and Fuyao sent him ten miles away from the Golden Arrow Collection, reluctantly saying goodbye, feeling very sad.
