Chapter 567 Xiao Junze and Chaoyang catch the turtle dove
Imperial City, Mu Family.
Atua was still wearing red clothes and sitting in front of the bronze mirror.
On the wedding night, the husband went directly to the border without stopping.
Atua waited stupidly, waiting for news that Mu Huaicheng had arrived safely.
"Princess..." Jiufeng combed Atua's hair.
"Ajiu, you said...he will come back alive and take me back to Rouran, right?" Atua's voice was hoarse.
Jiufeng's fingers suddenly froze and she looked at Atua in the bronze mirror in shock.
Her eyes were red.
Obviously, Atua has long since regained consciousness.
"Princess...General Mu will definitely make a triumphant return and bring the princess back to Rouran. From now on, no one will dare to bully the queen and the eldest prince again."
Atua didn't speak, but his whole body was filled with sadness.
She knew very well that Mu Huaicheng did not love her and marrying her was just a temporary solution.
She also knew very well that if she wanted to live, if she wanted to let her mother and brother live, she had to... stay in Fengtian.
Xiao Junze doesn't want her, but she still wants to stay...
This would be better for her and Mu Huai Chengdu.
"Princess, next..."
"I went on the road with the disaster relief food and military pay. The war at the border was tight. It was a time when we were short of people. There were women and children among the victims. A group of hard-blooded soldiers must not be so careful. Mu Huaicheng was kind to me after all, and he was also my husband. I
It’s time to go.”
Jiu Feng didn't come back to her senses for a long time. Her unruly princess seemed to have grown up suddenly.
…
Border pass, snow mountain.
Heavy snow closed the mountains and the army was stranded.
Mu Huaicheng frowned and looked at the road ahead, raising his hand to signal a group of people to go ahead with him.
"Your Majesty has an order, we must arrive at the border before dawn!"
"No matter what method you use, just crawl over for me!"
Mu Huaicheng took the lead and left first, and the rest of the people were also rushing on.
Even heavy snow cannot stop their progress.
If they fail to arrive before dawn, not only thousands of border troops will die, but also a whole city of civilians.
The barbarians attacked the city and never left anyone alive.
They are all the people of Fengtian, and they must not be trampled by the barbarian cavalry.
"Soldiers, our Fengtian women are waiting in the city. The pillars of Fengtian are still growing. We cannot let the heavy snow stop us, and we cannot let the barbarians steal our women and kill our pillars!"
After Mu Huaicheng left, the accompanying general shouted.
"rush!"
"rush!"
All the soldiers are ready to go, clear the roadblocks, and trample through the heavy snow. Even if it is dangerous, they must rush back before dawn! Let the barbarians see the determination of my Fengtian soldiers to fight against the Tartars.
…
Fengtian, Imperial Palace.
Chaoyang snuggled into Xiao Junze's arms and fell asleep. Xiao Junze kept staring at the basket outside the door.
He is waiting...
What we are waiting for is not the turtle dove entering the basket, but the battle report from the border.
As an emperor, he could not easily lead a military expedition in person. He wanted to stabilize the government and the court.
But those who fought for him at the border were all his soldiers and brothers.
His hands were always clasped together, he was worried.
"Chao'er..."
The sky was dim and bright, and a turtle dove and several sparrows landed in the snow.
Xiao Junze was inexplicably nervous and woke up Chaoyang excitedly.
Chaoyang was still dreaming. He suddenly woke up and looked at the door excitedly. "Shh! Don't talk."
Xiao Junze looked at Chaoyang with a smile and saw her staring outside seriously.
"It's going to be daybreak."
It snowed all night and finally stopped. Today is a good day.
The turtledove is smarter than the sparrow. The sparrow has entered the basket, but the turtledove has not yet entered.
"Shh, don't worry." Chaoyang slapped away Xiao Junze's hand that was tightly grasping the hemp rope. "Don't catch the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon. The turtle dove is smart. If you can't catch it this time, it won't come back for a long time. Once caught, you must
Kill them all."
Xiao Junze looked at Chaoyang with a smile. "It's enough to catch a turtledove and learn the art of war."
"When I was a child, I used all my military skills to compete with these turtle doves in a battle of wits and courage, and I always hit the mark." Chaoyang raised the corner of his mouth proudly.
Xiao Junze rubbed Chaoyang's head lovingly and stared with her.
"All the rice and millet will be eaten." Xiao Junze muttered.
"If we want to achieve final victory, necessary sacrifices are inevitable."
Chaoyang seemed to be talking about Turtle Dove, and also seemed to be reminding Xiao Junze.
Xiao Junze lazily hugged Chaoyang from behind and spoke in a hoarse voice, "But I still feel sorry for the rice that was eaten."
"I feel bad too." Chaoyang sighed.
"Xiao Junze! Hurry, hurry, get ready!"
Suddenly, the turtle dove from the courtyard walked in with a basket.
Xiao Junze watched intently and suddenly pulled the hemp rope when he was not prepared.
"Caught it!" Chaoyang shouted excitedly and jumped up happily.
Xiao Junze also laughed and reached out to hug Chaoyang who jumped up. "Let's go and have a look."
The rising sun is hanging on Xiao Junze, and Xiao Junze has no intention of letting go.
The roots of his ears were a little red, and Chaoyang hid in Xiao Junze's fox fur.
The turtle dove entered the basket, and soon the battle report from the border was also delivered.
"Report!"
"Your Majesty, General Mu has already crossed the snowy mountains ahead of schedule and rushed to the border."
Xiao Junze breathed a sigh of relief.
When Mu Huaicheng arrives, the good news will also arrive.
Xiao Junze smiled and hugged Chaoyang tightly. "Mu Huaicheng has arrived..."
Chaoyang patted Xiao Junze comfortingly. "Everything will be fine."
When winter comes, spring will come too.
…
Border, city.
"Tada, Mu Huaicheng's reinforcements have arrived!"
"Withdraw." Brother Shu Zheyu raised his lips.
Everything that should be robbed in the city has been robbed, so what if Mu Huaicheng arrives.
Fengtian suffered from natural and man-made disasters this year and the national treasury was in deficit.
He wanted to see how he would fight this battle.
"Tatar, do you really want to withdraw? We will capture this city right away." His subordinates were a little reluctant.
Brother Shu Zheyu raised his eyebrows. "I heard that Mu Huaicheng is the nephew of the God of War Mu Jingyan. The fear of Mu Jingyan has not dissipated among the barbarians. I want to see... Mu Huaicheng, compared to
His uncle, what a difference."
"Tada, there is news from Dayu that Fengtian's treasury is empty, so we can fight with confidence."
Ge Shu Zheyu tightened the reins and rode away.
Seeing that the barbarians had withdrawn, Jing Li's tense nerves finally relaxed.
"Chase!" Mu Huaicheng got off his horse and grabbed Jing Li who almost fell to the ground. "Brother, thank you for your hard work."
The sun rises, and the morning sun is particularly desolate when reflected in the snow.
The pass was in a mess, with corpses of soldiers scattered everywhere, and the miserable state was visible.
But they held on, and they persisted until Mu Huaicheng came.
"General..." Jing Li knelt down on one knee. "I failed to stop the barbarians from plundering, please general..."
"Don't say that, get up quickly." Mu Huaicheng quickly pulled Jing Li up. "Soldiers, thank you for your hard work, military doctor!"
Directing his men to sort out the corpses in the pass, Mu Huaicheng felt very complicated.
These are all the people of Fengtian.
They all have family members at home.
If there is peace in the world, all of this... can be avoided.
The world must be unified.
…
Refugee tent.
The maid came in and out anxiously, holding hot water with blood on her hands.
"What to do, what to do."
"Let Miss shout it out, it will relieve the pain."
"Save your strength."
The midwife wiped her sweat. She had never seen such a tolerant woman. She gave birth without saying a word.
This is a premature birth.
"There's too much bleeding, if this continues..."
The maid ran out of the tent in panic. "I'm going to ask for help."
When reinforcements come, they must bring military doctors with them.
"Young Master Jing..."
Seeing Jing Li walking this way while covering his wound, the maid ran over crying.
Jing Li thought that he survived... just to see Shen Yunrou.
"Miss, miss is about to give birth! Heavy bleeding..." The maid cried hard.
Jing Li's breath tightened and he wanted to rush into the tent anxiously.
"No! You can't enter." The maid shook her head. "Military doctor..."
Only then did Jing Li realize what's the use of him going in. "I'll go right away!"
Jing Li panicked, he had never been so panicked.
When His Majesty wanted to kill Murong Ling, he could handle it calmly, but now, he was so panicked that he even scared himself.
