Does your husband only love his wife?I turned around and left the house to marry a villain

At this time, Xie's army was already attacking Qinglian Manor of Chen State. Gu Changning gathered the troops of all the vassal kings and started bombarding Chen State everywhere, causing unrest in Chen State's borders adjacent to Yan State. This was also the first time that the Chen Dynasty felt the feeling of being pressed step by step by the enemy country.

In order to fight against the State of Yan, the State of Chen increased taxes and even spared no effort on the elderly over sixty years old. All men, from six or seven years old to eighty years old, were conscripted to the front lines to fight against the soldiers of the State of Yan, causing the people of Chen to become increasingly dissatisfied with the royal family of Chen.

Gu Changning would not give them time to breathe. Xie San used his mines in the Great Zhou Kingdom to buy soldiers from the Great Zhou Emperor. Although the negotiations were very difficult, the result was good. Xie Li borrowed 100,000 soldiers from the Great Zhou Kingdom to reinforce Xie's army in the Chen Kingdom.

Meanwhile, an invisible black hand was secretly pushing the war between Yan and Chen, causing the people of Chen to resent the country and galvanizing all parties to oppose Chen's tyranny.

At this time, the royal family of Chen State realized the sense of crisis.

But by the time they reacted, Chen State was already in tatters.

Emperor Yuan of the Tuoba clan requested a ceasefire and sent their Chen Kingdom's princess Tuoba Zhao as a hostage!

This was something Xie Jinyun had not expected: "This war was fought too smoothly. In just half a year, Chen Country lost ten counties, five continents and six counties. Don't you think there is something fishy?"

Gu Changning stared at the letter he received half a year ago, turned around, and said to Xie Jinyun truthfully: "Jin'er, the news about the Phoenix Star coming to the world that was circulated among the people was not released by me. I did spread the news to discredit the royal family of Chen Kingdom, but there was someone else behind the scenes. Someone else was also behind the instigation of the people in various parts of Chen Kingdom to oppose Tuoba Zhao. This battle was indeed fought very smoothly and was very beneficial to us, but there was someone else behind this matter."

He handed a letter he had just received to Xie Jinyun: "Take a look, this is the letter Song Guangze, who disappeared for half a year, wrote to you recently."

Xie Jinyun took the letter, opened it and took a look. The handwriting on the letter looked more and more like Song Wenjing's handwriting in his previous life.

The letter read: [Stepmother, I haven't contacted you for a long time. I miss my hometown very much. Do you want to go to Chen Country to have a look? The South China Sea of ​​Chen Country is really beautiful. This is where the East Pearl is produced. I don't have any other gifts for you, so I will give you half of Chen Country. Do you like it? ]

Half of the country...

The Yan soldiers who have now stationed in the territory of Chen have indeed occupied half of Chen.

So, the mastermind behind this is actually Song Guangze!

Xie Jinyun was deeply shocked. She looked up at Gu Changning and asked, "Maybe he had been to Chen Country in his previous life and was very familiar with the royal family and customs of Chen Country."

Gu Changning sneered: "Using Yan State, he will have a successful career in Chen State. Naturally, he will be very familiar with the local customs and sentiments of Chen State."

"Then will you still fight?" Xie Jinyun asked.

Gu Changning turned around and looked at the two children behind him: "Fight."

"If our generation doesn't fight, our children will continue to suffer. Besides, we have two children. After we conquer Chen Kingdom, we will let our son guard Chen Kingdom and appoint him as regent." Gu Changning reached his hand into the cradle and gently stroked the two children's heads.

The sight of the two children sleeping side by side melted Gu Changning's heart.

At this time, Jiang Huai walked in from outside: "Your Majesty, the Princess of Chen Kingdom's carriage has arrived at the west gate of Yanjing City."

Gu Changning took back his hand, his eyes darkened, and said, "Then let Tuoba Zhao get off the carriage, kowtow three times and nine times all the way to the palace gate, and you watch it yourself, and see how this person who bullied you in the past is being trampled under your feet. After watching, come back and tell me about it."

Jiang Huai's eyes were red, and he replied in a loud voice: "Yes, I will definitely watch it carefully."

Jiang Huai bowed and quickly walked out of Chaoqian Palace.

At the same time, Xiao Zhi also rushed back from Xiguan: "Your Majesty, Queen, I deserve to die for not being able to successfully capture the fugitive Song Guangze."

"Where did General Xiao meet Song Guangze?" Xie Jinyun asked curiously.

Xiao Zhi replied, "I heard that he had appeared at Qingyun Temple, so I rode there as fast as I could, but... I was still a step too late."

"Then there's no need to look for Song Guangze for the time being." Gu Changning already had other plans.

But Xiao Zhi didn't understand: "Not looking for it anymore?"

"Yes, don't look for him anymore. You can't catch him. It's not that you are useless, but that this person is extraordinary." A person who has lived two lives and has the memory of two lives, and was once a traitor of Yan State who played with court officials, he can sit in a high position in Chen State, which proves that Song Guangze is quite experienced in playing with people's hearts: "We still need to rely on this person to fight Chen State. Besides, if we don't look for him, there are people who want to kill him with a knife."

"Who?" Xiao Zhi asked.

Gu Changning smiled and said, "Tuoba Zhao."

West Gate of Yanjing.

"What kind of ceremony does Gu Changning want me to perform?" Tuoba Zhao, dressed in red, looked gloomy and glared at Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai held his head high and said in a loud voice: "The emperor wants you to perform the ritual of three bows and nine kowtows, kneeling all the way to the palace gate, and I will lead the way for the princess. Also, from now on, you are a hostage, and our master is the noble emperor. You can no longer call our emperor by his name. You should respectfully call me 'Emperor'."

Tuoba Zhao was so angry that his face turned green.

She had gotten whatever she wanted in Chen State, and had never been humiliated like this before: "You little dog slave, do you think that just because I am a hostage of your Yan State, you can let you bully me."

"A hostage is nothing but a dog, isn't he?" Jiang Huai repeated to her what Tuoba Zhao had said to humiliate Gu Changning: "When you are here, you must abide by the rules of Yan State and listen to the words of the King of Yan State. Kneeling is your chance to survive now. Otherwise, Yan State will kill you, and your father and brothers will not stand up for you, because you are not worthy enough for them to give up the current peace and maintain your dignity as a princess. Kneel down, and don't force me to help you."

Every word Jiang Huai said was what Tuoba Zhao had said to Gu Changning. At that time, Gu Changning had more than 20 guards around him, but most of them were beaten to death by Tuoba Zhao. Jiang Huai was the survivor among those 20 guards, but he also suffered a lot of beatings from her.

Now when Tuoba Zhao heard Jiang Huai tell her what she had said to Gu Changning, he felt powerless all over, because Chen State must cease fire with Yan State, otherwise, Chen State would be finished.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Zhao suppressed his great anger and shame, slowly knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times and nine times, and went to the palace.

late at night.

"Did you also kowtow three times and nine times and crawl on your knees to get to the Chen Kingdom's palace?" Xie Jinyun asked with a trembling voice.

Gu Changning held her slightly cold hand, hummed softly, and said, "If you can't climb to the front of the temple within the time they set, you have to go back to the starting point and start over again."

Xie Jinyun subconsciously clenched the back of Gu Changning's hand, feeling distressed: "Eleven years ago, the emperor was only ten years old."

Letting a ten-year-old child crawl to the front of the temple in this way is undoubtedly a wish for his death!
