Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Bei Yao heard this and asked, "Then whose son do you think I should be?"

"I don't know." Xu Yuan told the truth.

She had thought about it, but that answer was too outrageous, even more outrageous than Shen Renyao being Shen Renyao.

"Then just treat me as Shen Renyao."

Bei Yao looked at the falling snow and said, "Anyway, we probably won't meet again in the future."

After hearing Bei Yao's words, Xu Yuan felt a little lost for no reason.

If she had not had the experience in the ruined temple, she and the man in front of her should have gone their separate ways.

No matter how good the relationship between two people is, there will always be a day when they separate.

I had thought of this wish a long time ago. I would let the person go after his injury healed.

So as not to implicate your family.

But hearing Bei Yao say these words so easily, Xu Yuan still felt a little uncomfortable.

She pursed her lips, hiding her emotions, and said, "Yeah, we won't meet in the future anyway, so it doesn't really matter who you are or who I am."

Under the eaves, the rain was getting heavier.

The reluctance in one's heart when making a wish is like the dust splashed by falling rain.

Coming from the earth, and returning to the earth.

There was no news for two consecutive days.

Beiyao's injury was getting better day by day.

The most obvious thing is that the wound has already formed a scar.

Arrow wounds are not like knife wounds. The wounds are small and do not hit vital parts, so they are easy to heal.

At night, Xu Yuan closed the window, listened to the drizzle outside, and frowned slightly, "I will go to the county tomorrow to check. General Xie didn't find anyone, so he should send someone to reply."

"No need to go."

Beiyao's voice was emotionless. "Maybe it's just like you said. An accident happened and the replacement didn't come."

Xu Yuan was speechless. After a long while, she asked, "If Chen Shan really died, you..."

"Recover the body and give it a proper burial."

Bei Yao finished speaking, paused and then said: "This is all I can do."

"That's right." Xu Yuan nodded.

A good master like Bei Yao is rare.

She couldn't ask Beiyao to do more.

Xu Yuan still slept on the outside. Thinking that she had been sleeping in the same bed with Bei Yao for three days, she said, "Nothing happened in the past two days. I think we are safe. I will sleep in another room tomorrow. If there is anything, call me."

"No, you can go back to Sishui County tomorrow morning. I'll go to the military camp, and you don't have to worry about me getting your family into trouble."

He has been recuperating here for five or six days.

Must leave.

Thinking of this, Bei Yao said again: "Don't worry, I won't forget what I promised you."

Xu Yuan remembered what Bei Yao said two days ago that they would never meet again.

Perhaps, after they part tomorrow, she and this man will never see each other again.

"I'm sure you won't forget it."

After making the wish, he stopped talking.

The bedroom became quiet again.

Perhaps because he was thinking that Beiyao would leave the next day, Xu Yuan was unable to fall asleep until late at night.

She simply didn't want to sleep anymore and asked softly, "Are you asleep?"

"No."

Beiyao replied to the wish and explained: "I'm thinking about how to go and what to do tomorrow."

You don't have to think about it when you are recovering from your injury.

But not anymore.

After leaving here, he would no longer be Shen Renyao, but Beiyao, the third prince Beiyao.

"Can I ask you a question then?"

"what?"

"Is it necessary to fight this battle between Tianqi and Geshu? What I mean is, if you hadn't arrived in Sishui County, would you..."

Xu Yuan was reluctant to say the following words, but she knew that Bei Yao could understand.

She kept wondering, if the person in front of her had not come to Sishui County, would there be no war?

She also wanted to know whether Shen Renyao was a good person or a bad guy who would do anything to achieve his goals.

Bei Yao said indifferently, "Your father has understood it, don't you? The battle in Sishui County cannot be avoided. Whether I come or not, there will be a war this year, because... people are selfish."

"If that's the case, then why did you burn the Geshu camp? To weaken the Geshu tribe's strength?"

"Since there is bound to be a war, why not take this opportunity to directly recapture the desert. Xuyuan, do you know that in the previous dynasty, both the grassland and the desert belonged to the court?"

The emperor of the previous dynasty unified the country and his territory continued to expand.

However, it has always been the general trend that the world will eventually divide after a long period of unity, and will eventually unite after a long period of division.

At the end of the previous dynasty, people were living in misery.

Talented and ambitious people from all over the country rose up in rebellion, and the Bei family and the Xu family were among them.

Afterwards, the Bei family and the Xu family joined forces to take over the world.

The world is finally settled.

The Geshu tribe in the north also established their own faction and occupied the north.

The northern side close to the sea is a prairie, and going further in is the Gobi Desert.

The Goshu tribe occupied the entire grassland and desert and named it Dai Viet.

Since the founding of the country, the Emperor of the Bei family has been committed to recovering the north and incorporating the desert and grassland into Tianqi's territory.

But the Geshu tribe was so brave and good at fighting that it was difficult to capture it.

It was not until the late emperor personally led the army to conquer the grassland and forced the Geshu tribe to station in the desert.

Xu Yuan was silent for a moment, and she seemed to understand why Bei Yao burned down the camp of Geshu’s tribe.

Because Beiyao wants to add fuel to the fire.

After a long while, Xu Yuan said, "Do you know how many people will die in Sishui County because of this war? The soldiers charging on the front line are not counted, and Qi is not prepared to go to war today. Where will the food and grass come from for the army to march? Where will the military pay come from? You said lightly to recapture Geshu, but do you know how many corpses are still cold under those four words?"

Bei Yao thought of the cellar he had dug when he made a wish, and he couldn't help but fall silent.

Xuyuan was smart and could think of going to war.

But other ordinary people would not do that. How many people would dig cellars to store food from the beginning like Xu Yuan did?

No.

And the wish was well said.

Tianqi did not raise any military supplies.

If a war breaks out, the army will need not only men and money, but also food.

By then, it will be the common people who suffer.

The Tianqi royal family can go down in history by regaining Geshu, and future generations will also sigh that the Bei Dynasty was truly powerful.

But what about those people?

What can they get?

No one praises their sacrifice, and no one even remembers that they experienced war and displacement.

But if you gain something, you will inevitably lose something.

Bei Yao said: "But this is not something I can decide. I can only maximize the benefits. Even if I don't want to recapture Geshu, this war will still be fought and people will still die. In this case, why not use a short sacrifice to gain long-term stability in the desert?"

This time, it was Xuyuan's turn to be speechless.

She raised her eyes and looked at the endless darkness. After a long while, she uttered a few words, "I understand."

Bei Yao stopped talking.

At night, the sound of rain became more and more rapid.

At a certain moment, Beiyao suddenly opened his eyes. He gently touched Xuyuan and said in a very low voice, "Someone is coming."
