Chapter 112 The Misogynistic Mysophobic Prince vs. the Orphaned Girl 53
Nanzhao, Imperial Palace, Tai Chi Hall.
Qu Xinyue and Shangguan Lian each occupied a table and dealt with their own affairs.
Since Shangguan Lian took charge of the country, he has become busier, and now the Xundart information has been handed over to Qu Xinyue.
In addition to dealing with the Qu family army, Qu Xinyue also needed to check the news reported by Xundart.
Although the two of them were busy, they would still raise their heads from time to time, glance at each other in the distance, and then lower their heads to review. They had a tacit and sweet understanding.
Even Age, who was standing behind them at all times, couldn't stand the sweet atmosphere between the two.
Feeling a little brighter?
He quickly made an excuse and fled from Tai Chi Hall.
When Qu Xinyue saw one of the pieces of information unfolded, her expression suddenly changed.
She looked up at Shangguan Lian, who was frowning slightly while reviewing the memorial, feeling reluctance in her heart.
Shangguan Lian seemed to feel something. He raised his head and looked at Qu Xinyue. When he found that Qu Xinyue's expression was wrong, his heart tightened.
He put down his pen, stood up and came to Qu Xinyue's side. He put his hand on Qu Xinyue's cheek and asked worriedly.
"What's wrong? Is it too boring to spend time with Gu Gu in Tai Chi Hall every day?"
Qu Xinyue shook her head, sighed and looked at Shangguan Lian's gentle peach blossom eyes, her red lips parted lightly: "Your Highness, I want to go to the border."
Shangguan Lian's breath suffocated. It seemed that what they were worried about had happened!
only……
He looked at Qu Xinyue worriedly and shook his head: "There are still so many soldiers at the border. There is no need for Yue'er to go to the front line in person, and Gu will also be worried."
Qu Xinyue shook her head and handed the information about Xundart to Shangguan Lian.
Shangguan Lian unfolded the secret letter, and a line of words jumped out on the paper - outside Yanfeng Pass, Wang Ting's army was found gathering, and it was expected to number 400,000. Yanfeng Pass was in danger!
Qu Xinyue looked directly into Shangguan Lian's eyes seriously.
"Your Highness, if you want to boost the morale of such a war, you will have to fight in person. Now that my father is seriously ill and Your Highness has the responsibility of supervising the country, it is best for me to go."
Shangguan Lian's eyes were slightly red, and he took Qu Xinyue into his arms, his heart trembling slightly: "I'm afraid Yue'er will get hurt..."
Qu Xinyue covered Shangguan Lian's mouth with her slender hand, pretending to be playful.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Even if we can't defeat him, with my skills, no one can keep me."
Shangguan Lian frowned and was worried. Despite his words, Yue'er had a stubborn temper and a strong sense of responsibility.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the sword has no eyes. It is not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of the worst.
Qu Xinyue took the initiative to hug Shangguan Lian's thin waist, sighed and said gloomily.
"Every time the Qu family army goes on an expedition, it never lacks a commander. As a member of the Qu family, how can I shrink back? Moreover, my father and brother's enemies also include the royal court. Your Highness, Yue'er wants to go."
Shangguan Lian sighed and wanted to go to the border with Yue'er alone, but knew that this was unrealistic.
He unconsciously tightened his arms holding Qu Xinyue.
If we leave, we will miss you before we leave.
……
Yuanding thirty-four years.
Nanzhao expedition.
Wearing black soft armor, the Qu family army lined up neatly in front of the city gate, all looking at the front of the team with reverence.
The female general, who was also wearing black soft armor, was petite, but as powerful as them and had a heroic appearance.
This is their eldest lady and their leader, the person they want to follow.
On the city wall, Shangguan Lian looked at his Crown Princess from a distance with hidden pain in his eyes.
The strong wind picked up, lifting Qu Xinyue's cloak and making a hunting sound, revealing the nine-section whip wrapped around his waist with a dark and cold luster.
She raised her head, looked at Shangguan Lian on the city wall with bright and warm eyes, and said silently: "Wait for me to come back."
The sound of war drums struck the hearts of everyone again and again.
The soldiers who went on the expedition were filled with pride, raised their hands to hold the wine in the bowl, and drank it down with their heads held high.
When the wine is gone and the bowl is thrown, it represents everyone’s determination to move forward and protect their homeland!
Some soldiers have already chanted the wine song of a heroic march, which is solemn and solemn at the same time.
"If you take a sip of wine during a battle, the blood of generals and soldiers will flow together. You will raise your wine when you are alive, and you will raise your wine when you die. If you don't drink enough wine in the cup, you will never look back in all your lifetimes!"
Shangguan Lian also drank the wine from the bowl with tears in his eyes, and when he spoke, his voice was heavy.
"Soldiers, the survival of our country and the lives of our elders in Nanzhao depend on you. I will wait for you to return in triumph in Kyoto, and then drink the wine of meritorious service!"
The soldiers in the phalanx raised their arms and shouted: "Fight bloody, defend Nanzhao, and be invincible!"
The sound came one after another, like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
Qu Xinyue took a deep look at Shangguan Lian, pulled the reins, and rode to the back of the expedition team.
She raised her voice, and her clear and powerful voice reached everyone's ears.
"Everyone is here, turn around and start the team -"
The phalanx team set off in an orderly manner with the tail as the head.
When the people seeing him off saw the expedition team gradually walking away, they couldn't help but sob.
Everyone knows that the Royal Court is coming fiercely, and Nanzhao is not optimistic about this battle.
But no one backed down.
Even the Crown Princess personally led the expedition.
If this victory is achieved, the people of Nanzhao will be able to avoid being enslaved and live in peace for several more decades.
If defeated, Nanzhao will cease to exist.
Until the expedition team was no longer visible, Shangguan Lian on the city wall could no longer hold back the discomfort in his heart.
He ran down the city wall, grabbed a horse, swung the whip hard, and rode towards the expedition team like lightning.
Agger and the guards were startled and quickly followed on horseback.
Shangguan Lian didn't dare to follow too closely for fear of making Qu Xinyue sad.
He only dared to follow from a distance, riding up the high slope and looking at the petite but still sassy figure in the distance, his peach blossom eyes full of reluctance and affection.
In the expedition team, the commander rode up to Qu Xinyue's side and whispered a report.
"General, His Royal Highness will see you off on the south hillside."
Qu Xinyue's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she couldn't hold herself tight, but she still calmly said yes and said to the commander calmly and rationally.
"Go ahead and speed up the march."
The commander-in-chief glanced at Qu Xinyue distressedly and agreed in a low voice.
Soon, the march speed accelerated until it disappeared from Shangguan Lian's sight.
Age looked at the expedition team that could no longer be seen, and with a heavy heart he persuaded Shangguan Lian, who was already standing on the stone of looking at his wife.
"Master, the Crown Princess has gone far, let's go back."
Shangguan Lian's heart was as sharp as a knife, and he even complained about his own incompetence. He clenched his fists, and when he turned around, the gentle temperament on his body had quietly turned cold.
……
Although the expedition team had been away for several days, at some point, in front of various government offices in Nanzhao, people began to secretly send things.
There is money, rice, and thick winter clothes...
They just hope that these can be sent to the border so that the soldiers who protect their homes and countries will not suffer.
Local officials in various places were suddenly faced with such a sum of money and goods that they had accumulated. They were both headache and moved. They did not dare to make decisions without authorization and reported them one after another.
After the busy Shangguan Lian found out, he was silent for a moment and made a decree. There were only five words - Don't let the people down!
……
Fifteen days later, the team was only 800 miles away from Yanfengguan.
But Yanfengguan has been on fire.
Wang Ting's soldiers and horses have begun to attack Yanfeng Pass, and the soldiers stationed at the border are fighting to the death to defend Yanfeng Pass.
Whenever a battle report comes in, it will be accompanied by a list of the casualties of the border officers.
Looking at the dense list of strangers' lives, it means that each and every living life has passed away.
Qu Xinyue was so worried that she simply asked the commander to stay and lead the team forward.
She then took the lead with a light horse and an elite scout team, heading to Yanfeng Pass to take charge of the overall situation.
Although the commander-in-chief wanted to keep Qu Xinyue, he went to the border.
But Qu Xinyue was on the top, and he couldn't refute a military order. He could only watch Qu Xinyue and the elite scout team leave.
Just when Qu Xinyue and the elite scout team were rushing, there were still 500 miles to go from Yanfeng Pass.
Suddenly, a team of a hundred people blocked their way.
As soon as the leader spoke, everyone's expressions turned bad.
This person's accent is very strange, with an obvious royal accent.
"Miss Qu, please go back. Yanfengguan is not the place you should come."
