"Since General Yuan knows, it's good. He who doesn't know is not guilty. I don't care." Xie Yao said lightly with the momentum of the queen, walked straight to Chu Han, and ignored him.
Yuan Changfeng's expression was slightly stiff, but he also clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Queen."
Chu Yi'er lowered her head and couldn't see clearly. After a moment, she suddenly raised her head and looked straight at Xie Yao, "The emperor's sister-in-law seems not satisfied. I wonder how to get the emperor's sister-in-law's approval?"
Such direct gazes and direct questions made the atmosphere awkward.
"Junior sister..." Yuan Changfeng seemed to want to stop him.
"Get my approval? It's very simple! As long as you capture Emperor Miao and the three high priests within two days, I will recognize you!" Xie Yao was not polite and directly set out the conditions.
The Miao territory is not that big, and we have traveled more than a hundred miles the night before. This place is not far from the last line of defense of the Miao territory. It can be reached in about a day's horse ride. It takes exactly two days to go back and forth.
Faced with these obviously embarrassing words, Yuan Changfeng lowered his head and said nothing, and while he was lowering his head, he gave Chu Yier a wink, signaling Chu Yier not to speak either.
Why would Xie Yao deliberately embarrass Chu Han in front of him?
"Queen, you haven't slept all night. You must be sleepy now. Go get some rest." Chu Han turned to look at Xie Yao and spoke in a warm voice, with tenderness in his brows and eyes.
But the meaning behind the words was very clear. Let Xie Yao leave and not be able to continue the topic of catching Emperor Miao.
The corner of Yuan Changfeng's mouth curled up slightly for a moment, then disappeared.
Xie Yao didn't seem to think much, and yawned, "I am indeed a little tired, so I will leave first."
After saying that, he left.
Yuan Changfeng and Chu Yi'er still remained silent, but their moods were completely different at the moment.
The corners of their mouths were almost imperceptibly slightly curved.
"You haven't slept all night, so go down and rest first. Recharge your batteries and fight again tomorrow." Chu Han raised his hands towards the two of them, his expression and tone were very easy-going.
"Yes, I will step back." The two of them saluted crisply and left immediately.
After leaving the tent, the two of them glanced at each other while no one was paying attention, and a look of pride quickly flashed in their eyes.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's go back first." Yuan Changfeng lowered his voice very low.
Chu Yi'er nodded, the light in her eyes fleeting.
After a while, in Yuan Changfeng's tent, the two of them confirmed that no one was around before speaking.
"Didn't you say that Chu Han doted on Xie Yao? Although Xie Yao's request just now was unreasonable, Chu Han just drove her away? Is there any fraud?" Chu Yi'er was very happy when she just left the tent.
, but walking all the way back, I felt something was wrong.
"Whether there is fraud or not, it has no effect on us. You have also seen our prestige in the military now. As long as we make some more military exploits tomorrow, half of the goal will have been achieved." Yuan Changfeng curled his lips coldly.
His eyes were flashing with calculations.
"How come it doesn't affect us? Don't forget, we have two things to do on this trip, and one of them is indispensable!" Chu Yi'er reminded in a deep voice, "If it can't be completed..."
Thinking of the consequences, she was shocked.
"After completing one, the other is not difficult. As for what you said is deception, I think it is normal. Chu Han is the king of a country. Although there was no one else in the tent at the time, Xie Yao's obvious embarrassment had already lost Chu Han.
He had a cold face, so the following scene happened." Yuan Changfeng recalled the situation in the tent and snorted softly.
"No emperor can care less about face, and Chu Han is no exception. They say Xie Yao is smart, but he didn't expect that he would be stupid and deliberately target us. It seems that he is used to being pampered by Chu Han, and he is a little forgetful."
Chu Yi'er thought for a while and disagreed with Yuan Changfeng's thoughts, "I think we should be more careful. Neither Chu Han nor Xie Yao will remove their suspicions about us just because of the overnight victory."
…
The next day.
Yuan Changfeng and Chu Yi'er, as the vanguard, charged into the battle again.
This time, I still led the 500 soldiers, and I still won every time, but I didn't rush for more than a hundred miles like the night before, and I probably covered a distance of about fifty miles.
At noon, the two returned in triumph again, and the soldiers' voices were as loud as ever, even more enthusiastic.
In the Chinese army's tent, Chu Han once again rewarded the two of them.
Xie Yao was still on the side, and his attitude had not changed. He said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow we will attack the Miao Territory's Zhetian Village, and Emperor Miao is inside! What I said yesterday is still valid. As long as you capture Emperor Miao alive, you can still
With three high priests, I will fulfill my promise."
Zhetian Village is equivalent to the capital of Miao territory. The Miao Emperor, the high priest and others are all in Zhetian Village.
"Don't worry, the Empress. Since the two generals have taken up the position of vanguard, they will naturally fulfill their responsibilities as vanguards. As for the matter of capturing Emperor Miao and the three high priests alive, we will also work hard. Whether we can achieve it depends on the situation at that time.
Situation." Yuan Changfeng replied calmly, without any emotion.
Chu Yi'er remained silent, but her expression looked obviously unhappy.
Chu Han neither spoke softly nor looked at Xie Yao.
The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and then Chu Han spoke, "Thank you for your hard work, my dears. Go down and rest. We will fight again tomorrow."
"Yes." The two of them bowed and left.
The third day.
Yuan Changfeng and Chu Yi'er were victorious again and directly attacked Zhetian Village.
After a tentative attack, there was a loud noise and another Miao cannon fired.
More than half of the five hundred soldiers were killed or injured in an instant!
Upon seeing this, Yuan Changfeng and Chu Yi'er retreated immediately.
This time, when the two returned to camp, the soldiers no longer shouted enthusiastically. Instead, they all had blood-red eyes and anger, wanting to avenge the dead soldiers!
They clearly have four cannons, but they let the other side bombard them with one cannon. This is absolutely intolerable!
Therefore, in addition to Yuan Changfeng and Chu Yier, there were also a group of generals in the big tent who requested to use cannons to blow down the gate of Zhetian Village.
"Please allow your Majesty to allow General Yuan and General Chu to use cannons to blast open the gate of Zhetian Village to avenge the dead soldiers!" The generals all knelt down in unison, impassioned.
Yuan Changfeng and Chu Yi'er both stood still and remained silent. It seemed that the words of the soldiers had nothing to do with them, only the corners of their mouths curled up without trace.
Xie Yao glanced at the kneeling generals. Everyone's eyes were red, and they looked like they wanted to destroy Miao Jiang immediately.
These are the soldiers of Wanqi Kingdom!
This group of soldiers who are not afraid of life and death and value love and righteousness!
"The queen thinks, can we use cannon to blast open the gate of Zhetian Village?" Chu Han did not make a decision, but turned to ask Xie Yao.
"I, my concubines, all obey the emperor's orders." Xie Yao bowed, smiling superficially but not smiling at all.
"Okay, then I will issue an order! Come here!" Chu Han directly withdrew his gaze and raised his voice to give orders.
"Your Majesty, wait!" At this time, another person rushed in from outside, it was Xie Wenwu.
