Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 380: Going to war against the Huns

The Duke of Zhen looked at Zhou Yi up and down, waved his hands and said: "Forget it, I advise you not to show off your power. Mao Dun was indeed your defeat back then, but the one who is better than the old is better than the old. If you are like this If you suffer a defeat at the hands of Maodun's son, wouldn't it mean that your reputation will be ruined for the rest of your life?"

Zhou Yi couldn't tell what Duke Zhen was thinking. He glanced at his old friend and said: "Since the first time I went to the battlefield with you, you have used this provoking method to deal with me. Now even Bo Yue has become the best in Daqi." You are so handsome, and you still use this trick against me, haha, don’t you think it’s a bit outdated?”

Seeing that Zhou Yi had seen through his thoughts, Duke Zhen Guo laughed heartily and praised Zhou Yi: "I thought you had lost your blood a long time ago, but I never thought that your ambition is still as strong as before. Very good! Very good! .”

Zhou Yi replied: "It's true that those barbarians are too arrogant. These guys took advantage of the situation and robbed us. They only wanted money and food. They even shamelessly asked me, the princess of the Celestial Dynasty, to marry me. I'm really angry."

When the old lady heard Zhou Yi mention "princess marriage", she glanced at Zhou Yi meaningfully, shook her head silently, and sighed.

The Duke of Zhenguo echoed and replied: "These guys are really annoying. If I weren't old and sick now, I would go into battle and fight them to the death."

Zhou Yi joked: "If I can't beat him, it's not too late for you, a veteran, to leave."

Upon seeing this, the eldest princess also joked: "I think it's better for you two to ask for orders to fight against the Huns. Maybe you two brothers can scare these barbarians away by bragging."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi looked at the eldest princess and said, "I came here this time just to ask for your help."

The eldest princess replied: "General Zhou just said it doesn't matter."

Zhou Yi replied: "I heard that your Majesty has decided to agree to the Xiongnu's terms for peace. I want to ask for an order to go to war, and I also ask Your Highness the Princess to deal with it."

 In front of Emperor Ming, the eldest princess was the most eloquent.

Hearing this, the eldest princess stood up and bowed deeply to Zhou Yi and said: "General Zhou is still in Ding You, but he has a great heart. I really admire him. Don't worry, I will definitely persuade your majesty to give up asking for peace and allow you to go to war. "

 Inside Qingfeng Garden.

The crescent moon was like a hook, and the two children had fallen asleep peacefully beside Jingshu. Jingshu leaned on the bed, took out the letter home from Li Linggang from under the pillow, and read it again and again.

 She and Li Ling have been together for seven years in this life.

Because of the lessons learned in the previous life, in this life, Jingshu changed herself and also changed Li Ling. They got along very harmoniously, loving each other, and living a sweet and happy life.

 In this life, she and Li Ling have changed, and everyone and everything around them has also changed.

For example, in the previous life, Gaoshan Kingdom did not capture Hangu Pass, and the Xiongnu invasion also happened in the fifth year of her marriage to Li Ling.

It was summer at that time. Because of the floods in the south, the Huns took the opportunity to invade. The court was busy with disaster relief. Because there was not enough food and salary to support the war, Emperor Ming decided to sue for peace. The marriage partner was also Qingluan, and in the end it was Zhou Yi who asked for a battle. The eldest princess persuaded Emperor Ming to order Zhou Yi to fight against the Xiongnu, but Zhou Yi was defeated in the end for unknown reasons, so Li Ling asked for an expedition after Zhou Yi's defeat. .

In her previous life, Jingshu was not good at communicating with Li Ling, a straight-tempered man, and had many other reasons including childlessness, high marriage, and rumors. Her life was depressing and depressing. When she learned that Li Ling went to fight against the Huns regardless of risk, she unexpectedly She also misunderstood that he was interested in Qingluan.

Even though the time of the Xiongnu invasion was different from the previous life, Jing Shu hoped that Zhou Yi could win the battle.

In this way, after her husband defeated the powerful enemy in the south, he could return to her and the children to reunite with them.

 With Li Ling by her side, Jingshu always feels at ease.

 On the same night, there was one person who expected Zhou Yi to win this battle more than Jing Shu.

 That is Qingluan.

Qingluan is a stubborn person. She has determined that Li Ling will not change no matter what. Even though she now knows that the person Li Ling loves deeply is his wife Jingshu and has no feelings for her, Qingluan still remains. She still stubbornly wants to marry him. She doesn't want to be on par with Li Ling. As long as she can be by his side and see him every day, Qingluan will feel satisfied.

Except for Li Ling, Qingluan would not consider marrying any man in the world, let alone a barbarian who made her sick just thinking about it.

When Qingluan learned that her father, who had always disliked her, was so cruel that he wanted to send her away for marriage, she was already ready to commit suicide when her struggle was futile, but she never thought that there would be a turn of events and that she would just It was a man named Zhou Yi, whom she had only heard of, who accidentally saved her life.

Under the hazy moonlight, Qingluan, dressed in plain clothes, bent down and worshiped the moon devoutly. She muttered words: "The immortal family is above, the little girl asks the immortal to bless General Zhou Yi to win the victory and successfully repel the Huns and barbarians. If he can If he wishes, the little girl is willing to serve him as a father and pray for him throughout her life."

Chao Lu on the side heard Qing Luan's treacherous words. She looked around in fear, then whispered in Qing Luan's ear with a bluffing face: "The people outside Yilan Palace are all sent by His Majesty to monitor the princess. , Princess must be careful what she says, it will be a big deal if someone listens to her words."

 Not long ago, Emperor Ming decided to negotiate a peace, and Qingluan spent the whole day seeking death and survival. Emperor Ming was afraid that if she really died, there would be no princess to send to her for marriage, so he sent many palace people to see Qingluan. Now, although Emperor Ming followed the eldest princess's advice and refused the peace talks, agreeing with Zhou Yi to lead the expedition against the Xiongnu, Emperor Ming did not issue an order to evacuate the palace people inside and outside Yilan Palace.

Although Zhou Yi is a victorious general, no one can guarantee that he can still win this time. If he accidentally loses, Qingluan will have to be sent to get married.

Although Emperor Ming had few sons, he had many daughters. However, except for the eighth princess Qingyuan, who was born to Concubine Meng, he looked at her with special eyes and regarded her as a jewel. He did not treat her other daughters in general, or married them off to distant places. Or it was used to win over powerful officials through marriage, without ever considering the happiness of those daughters.

After Qingluan heard Chaolu's words, a disdainful smile appeared on her pale face, and she replied lightly: "So what if they listen? Even if they tell their father these words, what will happen? After all these years, How has my father ever truly loved me as his daughter? Huh! I miss my majestic Princess Daqi. At the critical moment, my aloof emperor father is not as good as a military attaché I have never met. Since he is completely Regardless of whether I live or die, I still care about what he does.”
