Chapter 244 Divide the troops

Xiao Beiheng picked up the porridge bowl on the tray, waved the maid to step back, and carried the porridge bowl himself to the back of Su Mo.

"Momo, you haven't eaten or drank for a long time. This porridge has been heated for the third time..."

Su Mo turned her back to him, neither turning back nor speaking.

She was angry that this man kept lying to her. She was his real wife, and he even lied to her.

Xiao Beiheng put the porridge on the table: "I know you blame me for killing Leng Shuang. But no matter what, she is just a servant. Not only did she make a mistake, but she also tried to escape with that Shen Yuexi. I was so angry that I I accidentally shot her to death..."

Su Mo still ignored her.

She didn't know which of his words were true and which were false. They might all be false.

Xiao Beiheng put his hand on Su Mo's shoulder, and then his fingers touched Su Mo's shoulder. Su Mo twisted and shook off his hand.

"Momo, it's not worth hurting the relationship between our husband and wife just because of a few servants," Xiao Beiheng held his forehead and smiled bitterly, "You are obviously a smart woman, why are you so accepting of death?"

"Leng Shuang is not a servant. She has served you and me for many years," Su Mo said, "I will kill you whenever you ask. Is your heart made of ice?"

When Xiao Beiheng saw Su Mo finally speaking, he smiled and said, "Didn't I explain? I was very angry at the time. You know that when people are angry, they will do some outrageous things. In fact, I also regret it very much."

"Really?" Su Mo's tone softened slightly.

"Of course, I often dream about Leng Shuang, Momo, didn't you hear it too?" Xiao Beiheng put his hand on Su Mo's shoulder again, "If you are still angry, I will kneel down and apologize to you."

Su Mo shook his head and said: "No, you are the Crown Prince of Qi, not a country man."

Xiao Beiheng said with a smile: "As long as Momo is no longer angry, it won't matter if I kneel down for a day. Even if I become the prince or the emperor in the future, as long as Momo glares, I will beg for mercy obediently."

Su Mo turned around and rolled her eyes at him: "I can only pick out nice things to say, but they are full of lies."

"Who said I can only say nice things," Xiao Beiheng lifted the hem of his shirt and pretended to kneel down, "I will do what I say."

Su Mo quickly stretched out her hands to support Xiao Beiheng's arms: "Don't let the servants see you. If you kneel down, I won't be able to hold you up, which will make you even more angry."

"Then you forgive me?" Xiao Beiheng stood up and asked.

"You are my husband after all," Su Mo nodded, "Besides, what you just said is the truth. Several times you shouted about Leng Shuang in your dreams... She has been with us for many years. Humans are not vegetation, but cats, dogs and their owners. We have feelings for each other after being together for a long time.”

Several times, Xiao Beiheng woke up from his sleep and sat up in a cold sweat.

"These are all trivial matters. Now that Xirong has captured Nanping and is attacking Zhangwu, I have to solve this disaster first." Xiao Beiheng said, "After Xirong is solved, we have to go to the capital immediately. My father was killed by Emperor Yongde. The army is blocked forty miles outside the capital and is in a stalemate, and they still need my help."

"Beiheng, I'm a little worried..." Su Mo glanced at him and hesitated.

"Worried that your husband can't defeat Xirong? Haha," Xiao Beiheng hugged her into his arms without hearing what she said, "This time the army marches westward, my goal has been achieved, and Xirong is not a problem."

"What about the Xiliang army?" Su Mo saw Xiao Beiheng mentioning military affairs and leaned against his chest. "I heard that the Xiliang army was defeated by Xirong and fled eastward."

Xiao Beiheng smiled and said: "It's just a bunch of rabble. After the army rested, I wanted to lead the army north first and kill all the Xiliang army. Unexpectedly, Xirong went south first. Now the defeated soldiers of the Xiliang army have no commander. It is estimated that they will soon be defeated. They will disperse and become bandits and robbers."

Su Mo said: "I heard that Mei Dai is in the Xiliang army. She seems to be the commander-in-chief."

"My father and brother are dead, what can she do as a concubine who serves the emperor all day long?" Xiao Beiheng stood up and went to the table to get some porridge. "She doesn't threaten me as much as Shen Yuexi. Come on, I’ll feed you porridge.”

"It's not like I don't have hands." Su Mo smiled and stretched out her hands to take the bowl.

Xiao Beiheng flashed the bowl to the side: "Let me feed you something to drink so that your anger will dissipate faster."

After saying that, he took a spoonful of porridge, blew it, and brought it to Su Mo's mouth: "Xiao Zhuo ran away again this time. My only regret is that I couldn't kill him."

Su Mo swallowed the porridge and said, "He ran away again?"

"What I'm saying is that as long as Shen Yuexi is around, Xiao Zhuo is as if he's been oiled and can't catch him no matter what."

"Did you take a hot air balloon ride again this time?" Su Mo seemed to be in a better mood and smiled.

"Not really. The cavalry chasing them encountered the Xirong cavalry. I don't know what happened next," Xiao Beiheng smiled bitterly, "but judging from my hunch, they must have run away."

"Then what are you going to do next?"

"When I find out where Xiao Zhuo is, I will naturally kill him. For now, we will solve the problem of Xirong." Xiao Beiheng scooped another spoonful of porridge and put it into Su Mo's mouth. "Then I will assist my father in attacking the capital."

The maid entered the tent and said to Xiao Beiheng: "Your Highness, Song Zhen is waiting outside the tent."

Xiao Beiheng put the porridge bowl in Su Mo's hand and said, "Momo, I'll go and come back to accompany you."

Su Mo said: "No need, I'm already fine. Just put the big things first."

Xiao Beiheng left the camp, and Song Zhen was waiting outside. He saluted and said: "Your Highness, the front army has arrived at Zhangwu, and the vanguard general is fighting with Xirong."

"My prince is anxious to go to the capital and pass on the order," Xiao Beiheng said to Song Zhen, "The front army must defeat Xirong within three days, and I will advance to Nanping City within a week."

"His Royal Highness," Song Zhen shook his feather fan lightly, "In the opinion of my subordinates, the business is in the capital now. Even if Xirong is defeated this time, they will come to attack in the future. It is better to leave an army and join Zhang Wu The garrison gathered together. It was led by a confidant and entangled with Xirong here. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led his army to the capital to join the King of Qi."

Xiao Beiheng thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, I think your suggestion is feasible. In your opinion, who should be left to confront Xirong?"

"To command tens of thousands of troops, you have to be the confidant of His Highness the Crown Prince. I think Mr. Lin is very suitable."

Xiao Beiheng shook his head: "Lin Kui? He doesn't know how to lead troops in war."

Song Zhen said with a smile: "Of course we can't just keep Mr. Lin. My subordinates suggest that we keep a few generals, with Mr. Lin as the supervisor of the army and in charge of the overall situation. In this way, there will be someone trusted by His Royal Highness in the west to supervise him. No worries at all. You can lead your army to the capital with confidence."

"Very good, just do as you say." Xiao Beiheng hung the Yanque sword on his waist and strode out of the tent.

Song Zhen claps the feather fan in his hand, with a smile on his face, and follows Xiao Beiheng.
