Carrying a basket with two bowls of hot noodles in her hand, Chuyue, the former auspicious general, was walking mechanically toward the house where she and Qiuping were hiding.
The news she learned in that store dug a huge hole in her heart. She kept thinking over and over again why the Lord did this.
The bounden duty of a soldier is to protect the country. But if the country betrays the soldier, what should the soldier do? Will the soldier have to be betrayed by the country and unable to resist?
If the country really needed them to be cannon fodder, it could have given them some hints. This time, they were abandoned without any information at all.
In front of the door of the house, Chu Yue adjusted her state. Although she was very disappointed with Sang Guo and the Holy Emperor, now was not the time to show it. After all, she still had to take care of Qiu Ping, so it would definitely not make her worry.
After pushing the door and entering the house, a crisp sound of metal products falling to the ground came from the house. Chuyue immediately entered the house and found that Qiuping was already awake, and there was a knife on the ground in front of her.
There was blood on her other hand, and her face was full of sadness and unwillingness. Chuyue immediately knew what she was doing.
Chuyue put down the basket, walked quickly to her side, helped her sit down by the bed, then immediately opened the medicine box next to the bed, and helped her carefully bandage her wounds.
"You said... would it have been better if Mei Xue had completely chopped off my hand?" Qiu Ping whispered. Then he said as if he was talking to himself: "My hands can't do anything except holding a knife."
ah……"
Chuyue, who was hugging her, bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from saying a word. She knew that now was not the time to speak. After getting along with each other for this period of time, she knew how rough Qiuping's past was, and how rough her current situation was.
Qiuping's heart is very fragile and cannot be touched. It will break into pieces when touched. She has to overcome everything by herself.
A person who has been running on the battlefield, living in military camps, licking blood from the edge of a knife, and wandering in front of the gate of hell again and again since he was sensible, really does not know anything else except fighting.
"Why did you use this method to torture me instead of cutting off my hand holding the knife and stopping my thoughts?"
Why torture her? She is just a person who pretends to be strong, Chu Yue secretly thought.
At this moment, the keen Chuyue felt the trembling Qiuping, tears rolling in her eyes, determined not to let the tears fall.
It’s better to tell her about Sang Guo later, Chu Yue secretly thought.
In the main hall of Daxia, Mu Pingjun was sitting on a golden platform raised in the center, facing south. The courtiers in front of her stood neatly on both sides.
"Mo Qianluo made great contributions in the battle at Bailan City. His clever tactics not only confirmed the existence of the traitor, but also annihilated the entire Sang army in one fell swoop. He should be rewarded." Lord Mu Ping said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Dong Guoxiang winked at a not very famous civil servant, and the civil servant immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have objections!"
Mu Pingjun said: "Yes!"
The civil servant came out and stood in the middle and said: "Your Majesty, I don't think Mo Qianluo should be rewarded, but should be punished."
Mu Pingjun's lips curled up slightly: "Then tell me your reasons and see if you can convince me."
The civil servant said: "This Mo Qianluo, knowing clearly that our army was defeated by the Sang Army, still forced the soldiers from Wucheng, Fengxin City, Bailan City, and Hundred Days City to die, and forcibly pushed through the Guimen Pass. This kind of
The way it is done is simply nonsense!”
"Your Majesty, I don't think she is giving orders, but she is pushing Daxia's brave soldiers into the fire pit! This kind of approach is obviously intended to destroy Daxia! If such people can get big rewards,
Then there will be no peace in Daxia! The soldiers who were pushed into the coffins will die with their eyes open!"
When she finished speaking, many civil servants also stood up, neatly as if they had been rehearsed, and said in unison: "I'll wait for reconsideration!"
The civil servant became more and more proud as he spoke. He glared at Mo Qianluo and said, "Is this worthy of Daxia? Is it worthy of His Majesty?"
Mo Qianluo glanced at her and said: "I am not from Daxia, nor from Sang, nor from the herdsmen on the grassland. Qi Xiangdie and I both come from a very far away place, because we have to complete some tasks.
Things just came here because something happened, so and
They were separated. Even if I didn't help Daxia, no one would blame me. This time I decided to help Daxia annihilate the Sang army headed by Qiu Ping Chuyue just because Xia Wu helped them escape.
The news allowed me to find them, and the debt has been repaid by annihilating the Sang Army."
Xia Wushi is one of Mu Pingjun's titles. It is a title used by people outside the Great Xia Kingdom to refer to her.
"Humph, they are really a group of people who are talking about war on paper. No, you are insulting them by describing them as talking about war on paper!" Tang She said to them contemptuously: "War is a place full of victims, it is better to call it a war.
The number of victims after this battle is already half less than what I thought! How could you people who squat at home every day understand what a battlefield is piled up with your lives! Moreover, I have asked many times
Are they willing to be this
Cannon fodder, they are all determined and willing to sacrifice themselves, we are not forcing them to become cannon fodder!" Then he said to Mu Pingjun: "Your Majesty, Miss Mo and her group are not from Daxia at all, but they have helped Daxia many times.
If they shouldn't
If you get a reward, all the famous people in the world will be disappointed!" Then he said: "On the contrary, General Huang is not strict in controlling the army and has a loose atmosphere. Most of the soldiers are sleeping in broad daylight! Let Sang's army take advantage of it! Please, Your Majesty
General Huang Rong will be dealt with according to military law!"
Dong Guoxiang glared at Tang She fiercely, and then said to Mu Pingjun: "Your Majesty, Huang Rong did make a mistake, but the Sang army was also very cunning, attacking us from the other side at the cost of abandoning a large army, and they
The weapons used are brand-new weapons, which caught us off guard. Please ask your Majesty to hand over General Huang Rong to your subordinates." Then he said firmly: "I will punish you severely!"
Mu Pingjun nodded and said: "Then let the Prime Minister be responsible for this matter." Then he looked at Bai Xiang, Bingmo Qianluo and Qi Xiangdie, and asked: "Do you have anything you want?
?”
Bai Xiangbing said: "The three of us don't want anything. They and I will probably leave as soon as this afternoon. I'm really sorry for disturbing you for so long."
Mu Pingjun frowned slightly and asked, "Is it really so urgent?"
Bai Xiangbing said: "If you finish that matter as soon as possible, you can go back as soon as possible."
When Mu Pingjun was about to say something, Mo Qianluo said: "Both Xia Wu and I are aware of Bai Xiangbing's good intentions. However, Bai Xiangbing's status is special and involves too many people and things. We must not make any mistakes. For the sake of safety,
For the sake of safety, we must complete the task as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible."
Mu Pingjun said: "If this is the case, then I won't force you too much, but I can guarantee that you will be absolutely safe at least in Daxia Kingdom."
Bai Xiangbing said: "Thank you very much." Then he added: "Although I know that your country has a strong cultivation culture, the energy in this world is not full now. Please don't underestimate people's wisdom. This time Sangguo used
Gunpowder, and those big metal tubes and the tubes those people are holding are the prototype of what is called a cannon and a gun in my country. This gun is not a long gun, but a cannon.
A weapon that can capture the heads of enemy generals thousands of miles away. Even non-practitioners can easily control this kind of weapon. As long as they are enlightened, they can develop by leaps and bounds in a very short period of time, to the point where they can threaten practitioners.
The power of the weapon is completely acceptable, I think your country should abandon the concept of cultivation first, and must develop these weapons further before the Sang Kingdom."
