After the princess was reborn, she kissed the ruthless kidnapper

Chapter 173 "I bet that Yue State will be defeated within a day!"

Shen Changning couldn't stop her, so he had to send heavy troops to guard her and let her go.

The vehicles and artillery are moving slowly and it is estimated that it will take five or six days to reach the border.

Shen Changle was feeling very restless due to her pregnancy, so she simply lay on the couch all day, hoping to sleep through the next five or six days.

However, Lu Mingchao received the news and came to greet him early.

Zhu Jiuxing also came with a small group of people, but was stopped five miles away by Lu Mingchao's men and was not allowed to get close.

Shen Changle just felt a headache after hearing this.

Get a glimpse of the whole leopard.

From the small matter of picking her up, one can see the open and covert struggles between the Lu Family Army and the Firearms Battalion.

Lu Mingchao doesn't do his job and spends all his time on his family.

In order to come here early and file a complaint, he even left his post without permission!

Shen Changle knew that Jiang Ci'an must also want to come and pick her up.

But Lu Mingchao had already left the military camp and he couldn't leave anymore.

The Qi army cannot be without its commander, so he has to stay behind to guard against sneak attacks by Yue's army.

In comparison, the difference in Lu Mingchao's and Jiang Ci'an's overall views is obvious.

She listened to Lu Mingchao's spitting complaints outside the carriage, looked at Shen Tingyu meaningfully, and asked loudly with a slightly tired look:

"Where are the people from the Firearms Battalion?"

The voice outside the door paused, then bowed.

"Your Highness, the soldiers Jiang Ci'an brought with him behaved in a rude and vulgar manner. I was afraid they might offend Your Highness the Princess, so I stopped them..."

Shen Tingyu just thought it was funny and asked in a deep voice:

"General Lu, the princess has traveled thousands of miles as an inspector to investigate a case, yet you're holding back the Firearms Battalion and refusing to allow her an audience. Do you think... this is fair?"

"I am just worried that Your Highness has been deceived by Jiang Ci'an, so I want Your Highness to see the prisoners first before making a decision."

Shen Changle was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and gave a strong order.

"Let Zhu Jiuxing and the others come in. I have something to ask you."

Lu Mingchao listened to her commanding tone and nodded reluctantly.

Finally, Zhu Jiuxing and his group were released.

Unlike him who was answering outside, Zhu Jiuxing was summoned into the carriage by Shen Changle as soon as he arrived and was answered inside.

Shen Changle looked at Zhu Jiuxing, who was dressed in armor and had an unshaven beard, and truly felt the cruelty of war.

A spirited young man has been turned into a rough old man!

I wonder what Jiang Ci'an has become after not seeing him for two months...

"Firearm Battalion Scout Zhu Jiuxing pays respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess. May Her Royal Highness live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years—"

Zhu Jiuxing suddenly knelt down and bowed deeply.

Shen Changle finally came back to his senses and hurriedly stood up with the help of Qingying and Ziyuan.

"No need to be so polite, Jiuxing, get up quickly... Ziyuan, please take a seat."

Zhu Jiuxing stood up with a chuckle.

Staring at Shen Changle's belly intently.

Shen Changle sat closer to him and couldn't help but ask:

"Is your second brother okay?"

Zhu Jiuxing glanced at Shen Tingyu cautiously and saw that he was drinking tea without looking up.

Then he replied with peace of mind:

"My second brother is fine! Princess, have you heard? Our Firearms Battalion has captured three enemy cities in two months!"

"Well, I heard you guys worked hard!"

Shen Changle admired him sincerely and reminded him:

"You don't have to call me that. Just call me Second Sister-in-law."

"hey-hey……"

He touched the back of his head and glanced at Shen Tingyu not far away.

He leaned forward slightly, got close to her and whispered:

"Second sister-in-law, your belly is so big now? Are you about to give birth?"

"No, there are still three months left!"

Zhu Jiuxing smacked his lips and raised his hand to rub his nose.

"If my second brother saw you traveling so long and running around with such a big belly, he would be heartbroken."

Shen Changle didn't care and chuckled with her hands covering her lips.

"Using two idioms in one sentence, it really is true that one should look at a scholar with new eyes after three days of absence."

"Hey... Second sister-in-law, please stop laughing at me. Even so, the Lu family army still says every day that we are vulgar and bring shame to Da Qi!

In my opinion, it doesn’t matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat! "

"That's right, don't pay any attention to them, they're just jealous of your fighting skills."

When Zhu Jiuxing heard her say this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The second sister-in-law said this, it seems that she believes that the second brother did not collude with the enemy and betray the country...

He took the initiative to speak up for Jiang Ci'an:

"Second sister-in-law, I heard that you came here specifically to deal with the matter of Second Brother releasing prisoners of war?"

"Not entirely. We've developed a new weapon and stopped by to teach you how to use it."

"Ah, that's good... Second sister-in-law, actually, the reason why Second Brother let that woman go wasn't because of any old feelings. It's a confidential matter, so I can't say too much!

But you just need to believe in your brother, and don't listen to Lu's nonsense!"

Shen Changle paused, as if he had thought of something, and pondered for a moment.

Looking at Jiuxing's anxious look, he nodded and chuckled.

"Yeah, I know. Don't worry, I don't blame him."

"Hey... I knew it. Second sister-in-law is such a wise person, how could she be so easily provoked! I'll send someone to deliver a message to Second Brother as fast as possible!"

Zhu Jiuxing stood up and took his leave.

Shen Tingyu sighed upon seeing this:

"It now appears that the two armies are at loggerheads, and a dispute between the Lu Army and the Firearms Battalion is inevitable.

How about, Uncle Emperor, you stay here and teach the Firearms Battalion how to use and maintain the Sky-shaking Bombs, then return to the capital?"

Shen Changle knew that what Shen Tingyu said was right.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Sooner or later, Lu Mingchao and Jiang Ci'an will compete for supremacy.

but……

"Don't worry, Uncle, Ci'an knows how to act. I believe he will never clash with the Lu family army before the war is over.

Moreover, judging by the current situation, the peace talks with Yue Kingdom are imminent, and we will be able to withdraw our troops and return to the capital soon."

Shen Tingyu was suspicious.

"How did Changle know that peace talks with Yue State were imminent?"

why?

because……

Jiuxing just said that Ci'an let Ye Lin go not because of any old feelings!

Before this, she just thought that Ci'an let her go as a way of repaying a favor.

But now it seems...

Maybe he did it on purpose?

He let Ye Lin leave, but sent someone to inform Lu Mingchao.

He let Lu Mingchao do the things that were difficult for him to do.

But what he didn't expect was...

Lu Mingchao didn’t put repelling the enemy first at all!

After capturing Ye Lin and learning about the relationship between Jiang Ci'an and her, his mind was full of internal strife.

Did he overlook...

Ye Lin is still the commander-in-chief of Yue State, but where is Liang Yi's fiancée?

She remembered that Ci'an had told her that Liang Yi was an extremely jealous person.

Back then in Yue State, he made things difficult for Ci An because he misunderstood that Ye Lin had a crush on him.

It seems like...

Although I don’t know what Ye Lin thinks of Liang Yi.

But Liang Yi must have feelings for Ye Lin!

But maybe he himself is not quite clear about his own feelings.

They love each other without knowing it, so why not give them a hand?

She smiled mysteriously and said confidently:

"If you don't believe me, how about we make a bet? I bet that within ten days, the Yue Kingdom will be defeated!"

Shen Tingyu was surprised, but still cooperated.

"Okay, one hundred taels of gold as a bet."

"make a deal."

Afterwards, Shen Changle put on his cloak and got off the carriage with the help of Ziyuan.
