After passing through the book, Mr. Chief Assistant came to rely on me

"Okay, wait a moment objectively." After saying that, the landlady turned and walked towards the pot table.

"Master, you like to eat glutinous rice balls!" The little soldier looked at the man in surprise. There were 18 of them in total. Apart from him, there were nine people left. The other seven were elites brought from Daning.

"Yeah." The man responded and stopped talking.

After a while, the proprietress came over with wontons, and the steaming wontons released bursts of fragrance.

The little soldier couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, put a piece of meat into his mouth, chewed it happily, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons, "It's so delicious."

Seeing the little soldier's satisfied look, the man couldn't help but smile. Then he slowly picked up a piece of meat and put it into the bowl, chewing it gracefully.

The little soldier gnawed the meat in the bowl with relish, and occasionally raised his head to peek at the man. He always felt that his master was particularly charming. He must be crazy.

"Xiao Liu, what are you doing?" While the little soldier was stunned, a guard came over, patted Xiao Liu on the shoulder, and looked at the little soldier displeased.

The little soldier who was called Xiaoliu was frightened and quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks, "I, I didn't do anything."

"Hmph, you can make flowers out of your food. You are so stupid. Go and train now."

"I know, brother." The little soldier muttered, and then ran away.

"Brother, you don't have to worry about him. This guy is the reincarnation of a starving ghost. We are all used to it."

"We still have to report to the emperor, so hurry up!" After saying that, the guard named Big Brother left quickly.

The little soldier stood there and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the secret was not revealed just now, otherwise he would definitely be punished!

Thinking about it, the little soldier hurriedly quickened his pace and chased his other companions out of the wonton shop.

……

The next day.

In the early morning, everything was silent, and a crescent moon hung in the sky, casting bright silver light and shining on the streets of the capital.

At this time, everyone in the Beirong King's court looked solemn.

Yesterday, Beirong sent someone to send a letter to the Daning court. It said that Beirong requested peace talks, otherwise the agreement would be broken and all Daning's troops would enter Beirong's territory.

Regarding Beirong's proposal, there was no sound in the Daning court.

In recent years, although the relationship between the Daning Dynasty and the Beirong Dynasty has eased a lot, Daning still has the upper hand. After all, the Beirong people are brave and good at fighting, but the soldiers of the Daning Dynasty are vulnerable. Now they are fighting for years, and the people's livelihood is Withered and ruined, the people suffered miserably.

Therefore, after some discussion, the monarchs and ministers of Daning decided to make peace.

It's just that Princess Beirong is the only legitimate princess of Emperor Beirong. She is arrogant, unruly and domineering, and has a bad temper.

If such a woman were to marry in Daning, she would be in endless trouble.

Over the years, Daning and Beirong have been at war, and the Beirong Emperor has experienced the power of the Daning Dynasty. He did not dare to agree to a marriage, fearing that Daning would use this matter to make a fuss and put Beirong into crisis.

The emperor of Daning wanted to annex Beirong, but Beirong was a strong country. Once a war broke out, casualties would be heavy, and it would be the people of Liming who would suffer.

"Your Majesty, I don't think we can agree to the marriage. Beirong is very powerful, and the people of Beirong are cunning and cunning. This sudden envoy sent here must have bad intentions." The speaker was a general from the Daning Dynasty named Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan held great power and had many ministers supporting him in the court, so his words carried great weight.

After Zhang Yuan's words fell, someone immediately echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, Beirong is ambitious. The envoys sent here this time must not be based on good intentions. We must not fall into the trap."

Hearing this, Nangong Chen frowned and obviously hesitated. He originally thought that the marriage between Daning and Beirong would consolidate the friendship between the two countries, but now it seems that this is not feasible because the candidate for the marriage is not suitable for Beirong. The princess of Rong.

Just when Nangong Chen was hesitant, a young eunuch quickly rushed into the royal study and knelt down in front of Nangong Chen, "Report to the emperor that there is news from the border."

"What's wrong? Say."

"Your Majesty, I just received news that soldiers on the border were ambushed and suffered heavy losses." The little eunuch said word by word.

"Bang~"

Nangong Chen waved his hand fiercely, and the memorial on the desk instantly fell to the ground.

"Father, things at the border are not optimistic." Nangong Che said in a deep voice, "Father, I sincerely ask my father to order reinforcements."

"I also have this intention, pass the order, gather troops and horses, and prepare for rescue."

"As ordered."

The war on the border is getting more and more intense. The two sides are in a stalemate, and no one has retreated even half an inch.

Although Nangong Chen here has returned to the palace with Su Xiaoxi, the border issue has still not been resolved. This time, the two countries may not be able to end happily.

During the days when Su Xiaoxi was recuperating in the palace, what she heard the most every day was news about the war, and she felt quite depressed.

She once asked Nangong Che about the form of the battlefield, and Nangong Che did not hide it and told her straightforwardly that they, Daning, were at a disadvantage this time.

Not only because of the strength of Beirong, but also because of the bad and cruel character of the princess of Beirong. In recent years, the princess of Beirong has been murderous. The people of Daning wished they could kill this female devil alive, but they couldn't resist.

The royal family of Daning hated Beirong Princess even more, because this Beirong princess was a cancer and often disrupted Beirong's government.

Nangong Che then turned and left Fengluan Palace.

Su Xiaoxi was lying on the bed alone, her thoughts racing.

Unknowingly, many images flashed through his mind. It seemed that Daning might not be able to live in peace this time.

On the other side, Yang Yuanfan saw Su Xiaoxi's birthmark and quickly entered the palace to tell Concubine Hui. When Concubine Hui learned that Su Xiaoxi might be her daughter, she was extremely excited.

She hurriedly came to Fengluan Palace to see Su Xiaoxi. During this time, she had also heard of Su Xiaoxi. After all, Su Xiaoxi treated the people of the Ning Dynasty from plague, and also gave advice to the emperor, pointing out Beirong's plot. .

During this period of time, she was also in a dangerous moment. Concubine Hui did not tell Su Xiaoxi directly, she just wanted to watch from a distance first.

But she didn't want to be discovered by Su Xiaoxi, so she avoided it.

Concubine Hui came all the way to Fengluan Hall and happened to run into Su Xiaoxi who was coming towards her.

When Su Xiaoxi saw Concubine Hui, she frowned slightly. She vaguely guessed something in her heart, so she stopped and waited for Concubine Hui to approach before speaking.

Concubine Hui looked at Su Xiaoxi in front of her with a look of surprise in her eyes, but she quickly put away the strangeness in her eyes and put on a gentle and kind expression.

"Concubine Hui, why are you here?" Su Xiaoxi asked lightly.

Concubine Hui shook her head with a smile and said in a soft voice, "I heard that you have done a lot for Daning Dynasty. You are simply the lucky star of Daning Dynasty. I am here to see you."
