It was the third day of the twelfth lunar month in the second year of Tianyou's reign. It was freezing cold and windy and snowy.
The 300,000-strong Zhendong Army faced the Eastern Qi Army, which was known as a million-strong army, at Huangkou. The troops were densely armored, the flags were fluttering, and there was no end in sight.
Known in history as the Battle of Huangkou.
There was an open space between the two armies. The generals of the Eastern Qi Army came out to call for formation. However, Nanye did not send any generals to fight. Instead, a horse slowly walked out, with a fair and delicate young woman sitting on it.
Everyone in Dong Qi burst out laughing: "This Nanye won't use a honey trap before the battle, right?"
"Haha, you must have sent a girl to fight us because you couldn't send any men!"
"I heard that Ding Wang Mo Jingxiao seems to have two brushes. I really want to fight him."
The general who called for the formation saw a woman without armor coming out, and his face suddenly grew long: "What does Nanye mean? You send a woman to fight, but you look down on me, the general?"
Immediately the woman smiled, it was Ning Yujin: "General, I want to talk to your King of England."
"You can see our King of England whenever you want?" The general raised his gun and was about to sweep Ning Yujin off his horse. However, in the flash of lightning, a figure suddenly appeared from behind Ning Yujin.
A silver gun came and knocked the weapon in his hand to the ground.
The general was shaken by the powerful force and retreated repeatedly. His mouth was numb from the shock. He looked behind Ning Yujin in surprise and saw a man in Nanye's camp with black armor and white tassels, a tall head and a mighty horse.
The momentum makes people dare not underestimate him.
Dong Qi also saw the scene just now. He was stunned for a while before someone whispered: "The one who took action just now is Mo Jingxiao?"
"General Tiger is born with great strength. The silver spear thrown by Mo Jingxiao from such a distance is so powerful. I'm afraid..."
"Is it a coincidence? It must be a coincidence. General Tiger was attracted by the woman and was unprepared and was knocked off his weapon."
Ning Yujin looked at the shocked General Tiger and repeated with a smile: "Excuse me, I want to see your prince."
"After so many days apart, the third lady misses Qi so much?" Before General Hu could answer, he heard someone walking out of the chariot behind him, and his smiling voice sounded strangely familiar.
Before Ning Yujin could answer, she heard Mo Jingxiao's voice coming from far away: "The King of England should be more careful when he speaks, because the person in front of you is my king's concubine."
"Really?" Qi Yunqian frowned, then smiled, "But I also clearly remember that your Emperor Daye promised you to me."
Ning Yujin became angry when she heard this. Qi Yunqian threatened Mo Ye with the troops of the two countries and asked Mo Ye to betroth her to him. But now that the marriage was not completed and he sent troops, how could this count?
But before she could open her mouth to reason, she heard Mo Jingxiao's sneer: "Can't I take it back?"
He said it casually but confidently, without any need for extra explanation. He declared his sovereignty in one sentence.
Ning Yujin immediately straightened her back, feeling very happy.
Qi Yunqian raised his head and looked at Ning Yujin, and said slowly: "The two armies are fighting, so what are you doing here?"
Ning Yujin tilted her head and asked him with a smile: "Does Qi Yunqian's words count?"
Qi Yunqian nodded: "One word means nothing."
"Okay." Ning Yujin unhooked a scroll of painting from his horse and unfolded it in front of the two armies. "Then when you gave me this painting, can you still take what you said seriously?"
When Qi Yunqian saw the painting, his expression froze for half a second.
The eyebrows, hair, and clothes of the woman in the painting were all drawn by him one by one, so how could he not remember them? How could he forget that he had said them word for word in his own words?
But……
Ning Yujin held the painting high, took a deep breath, and said: "If what you said is true, then I will use this painting to ask you, Qi Yunqian, to take your Eastern Qi troops and horses and withdraw from our territory immediately."
, From now on, as long as I, Ning Yujin, am in Daye and you, Qi Yunqian, are in power, you, Dong Qi, will never invade my Daye!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the soldiers in the Eastern Qi Dynasty were filled with passion and indignation.
"Is that woman crazy? She actually made such a request?"
"The prince will definitely not agree!"
"Your Majesty, give me an order. There is such a huge disparity between our troops and horses. We must rush over and kill him without leaving any trace behind!"
Qi Yunqian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Ning Yujin with a look that was meaningful, complicated and obscure.
He said: "What if I don't recognize it?"
"Then let's fight." Ning Yujin exhaled and said, "I will tear up this painting. From now on, you and I will have nothing to do with each other. Dong Qi Daye will fight to the death here. Of course, in the end, you, Dong Qi, will definitely lose. Just hold on."
It’s a matter of a few days.”
"So confident?" Qi Yunqian sneered. After laughing, he looked around at the surrounding mountains, and the expression on his face finally changed.
Ning Yujin shrugged and said, "It seems you have thought of it too. The surrounding mountains have been hollowed out and filled with explosives. Xiaozi Camp also passed straight through Min'an Road and circled behind you.
Now you can either take the initiative to withdraw your troops and sign an agreement; or you can only fight your way out."
"Mo, Jing, Xiao."
Qi Yunqian shouted these three words through his teeth, but he could only blame himself for making a wrong move.
But one step was wrong, and the next step was wrong. The previous exchanges between you and me were just for today's battle.
"Your Majesty!"
Everyone was immediately confused and looked at Qi Yunqian.
Qi Yunqian sneered: "Since we have reached this point, I will sell you Ning Yujin a favor. I will accept this painting."
Ning Yujin didn't know what kind of emotion she was feeling at the moment. She rolled up the picture and threw it over, but a guard flew up and caught it.
Qi Yunqian took the painting from the guard, took a deep look at Ning Yujin, and said to the people beside him: "Retreat!"
Ning Yujin looked at the rising dust and felt as if a gray mist had covered her eyes.
Behind him, a long arm stretched out and hugged him, hugging him tightly.
"it's over."
"Yes, it's over." Ning Yujin pulled the corners of her mouth and wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.
After a long pause, she raised her head and looked in the direction of Sheng Jing: "We can still catch up with the New Year."
Mo Jingxiao was stunned for a moment, unable to catch up with her thoughts.
I listened to her ramble: "Last year, the late emperor passed away and I couldn't have a good New Year. I must have a good time this year. And you promised to take me to see the lanterns on the 15th, so you must not forget it. Yes."
I don’t know if Mr. Ping has sent Zisu back to Prince Ding’s Mansion..."
It seemed like she couldn't stop once she started pulling. Mo Jingxiao hugged her tightly, feeling that her whole body was shaking under her unstable expression.
After all, saying you don't mind is a lie.
