After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Logically speaking, since Li Huairen had taken the initiative to put his warm face forward, Qin Junyu should at least respond to him with an expression. However, Qin Junyu was not an ordinary person. He did not even give him a glance, as if Li Huairen did not exist.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" Nian Susu asked in surprise, but what he really meant was: Your Highness, you've come at the right time!

Qin Junyu smiled dotingly and held out his hand, "I have something to ask you."

Nian Susu gritted his teeth and threatened him with his eyes not to do this in public, but he did not take his hand back. Instead, he extended it forward. Nian Susu couldn't refuse him, so he could only narrow his eyes and smile, and gently placed his hand on his palm, "Thank you, Your Highness. Your legs are indeed numb after sitting for so long."

Li Huairen and the soldier who was waiting for Nian Susu to treat his legs widened their eyes at the same time.

Li Huairen: Don’t either of these two people understand the principle of sex not being intimate? ! It’s okay for a young lady, but Qin Junyu is the prince, how can he hold a girl’s hand casually!

Soldier: No way, Doctor Nian is leaving?! What should I do with my legs?! I don’t want Li Huairen to treat me! I don’t want to have diarrhea and vomiting! No…I don’t want…

Nian Susu stood up straight, immediately retracted her hand, and walked a few steps to the side calmly to distance herself from Qin Junyu. She didn't want others to spread gossip about her again.

"This is... Doctor Li, right?" Qin Junyu suddenly looked at Li Huairen.

Li Huairen was secretly happy that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew his name. It seemed that... he had a great reputation in the army.

However, he knew that he was insignificant and his influence was insignificant. No matter how great his reputation was, it could not be more effective than a look from the prince in front of him, so he had to seize every opportunity to rise to a higher position.

Li Huairen smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, "That's right."

"Oh." Qin Junyu's cold expression did not change, "You, boil the medicine."

With just three words, Li Huairen was dismissed. Qin Junyu turned around and left without giving anyone a chance to think or hesitate.

Nian Susu wanted to laugh when he saw Li Huairen's expression as if he had eaten shit. He forced himself to remain calm and said, "Thank you, Doctor Li." Then he turned around and went after Qin Junyu.

Li Huairen closed his eyes, exhaled a breath, and almost fell down.

He sneered, "Okay, okay..."

While he was sulking alone, the soldier next to him sneaked away.

Outside Qingshan City, the Northern Wei people set up camp on the plain. Looking from the city wall, there was a huge sea of ​​people not far away, and the scene was spectacular.

General Xiao placed his hands on the cold stone wall handrails, his face solemn.

Once the Northern Wei army has rested, they will immediately launch a general attack on Qingshan City, and then Liangcheng. Judging from their momentum, they should be preparing to capture two cities in a row. Otherwise, a small city like Qingshan City is not worth their time to stop and recuperate.

Qin Zehai and the Northern Wei are allies. He has his own plans, and the Northern Wei may not fully trust him. The contest between the two sides has just begun.

There are endless mountains in the distance. Is that Yanmen Pass?

How are the two brothers Xiao Jianting and Xiao Helin doing now?

General Xiao sighed heavily. He had led troops in battles for half his life and was almost invincible. Everyone respected, admired and revered him. But now, he couldn't even protect his own son. Knowing that his son was in danger, he could only sit and wait for death.

"Brother Xiao, are we really going to just sit there and wait and do nothing?" The brothers Chen Yong and Chen Hu stood behind him without him noticing.

General Xiao did not look back, his eyes were filled with endless sadness.

With the enemy at the gates, the emperor issued a new instruction: wait.

Wait until the Northern Wei relaxes its vigilance and Qin Junyu arrives with his troops.

As Chen Yong looked around, he saw wisps of smoke rising from the Northern Wei camp as people made fires to cook. Just seeing the smoke drifting toward the sky was like smelling the fragrance of food. In the afterglow of the setting sun, he saw the bustling world of fireworks.

"After all the fighting, the people are the ones who suffer!" Chen Yong punched the city wall, feeling indignant.

Chen Hu patted his shoulder and shook his head.

General Xiao was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "When the war is over, you can go home to see your parents."

The two brothers Chen Hu were born into a poor family. Their parents were ordinary people. They had only two sons in total, and both of them joined the army. Once they went to the battlefield, it became normal for them not to go home for a year or two, and it was also a question whether they could survive.

Chen Yong didn't say anything, but he muttered in his heart: If I don't win, let alone my home, I'll lose my country, so how can I talk about visiting my parents?

The three of them went down from the city wall, and their moods became different from before.

Qin Zehai summoned his deputy general and two staff officers to discuss how to deal with the Northern Wei.

Liu Luyan was the only deputy general, and his status was higher than that of the staff officer. He sat on the right side of Qin Zehai and watched Qin Zehai perform quietly.

"The Northern Wei army has already set up camp outside Qingshan City. The people in Qingshan City are either elderly or children. They have no ability to resist. Their real target is actually Liangcheng!"

Qin Zehai slammed the table, bringing the atmosphere to freezing point. "Although we have 50,000 people, the Northern Wei is gaining momentum. If we confront them head-on, it will probably be a thankless task." He shook his head "very helplessly" with a painful expression.

Liu Luyan sneered.

Staff Officer Lin wiped his sweat. Qin Zehai had never summoned them before, which showed how serious the situation was.

Staff Officer Li had a stern face, carefully considering what Qin Zehai had just said, and concluded a very important message: Qin Zehai did not intend to confront the Northern Wei head-on. So what was his plan?

With this in mind, Li asked, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

In their eyes, Qin Zehai was like an embroidered pillow, good-looking but useless, so Staff Officer Li was really curious about what he could say.

Qin Zehai was full of confidence: "I think when the Northern Wei is about to reach Shengjing, we will attack from behind and catch them by surprise!"

Staff Officer Li was shocked. He could not agree with this.

When Shengjing is threatened, the emperor will probably run away, and they will be abandoned and homeless.

If you fight the enemy to the death, you can gain a reputation for being brave and fearless.

Staff Officer Li did not dare to refute Qin Zehai and could only look at Staff Officer Lin angrily.

Staff Officer Lin looked embarrassed and shook his head.

"What? Why aren't you talking?" Qin Zehai's eyes moved among the three people, and finally locked onto Liu Luyan, "Deputy General Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Luyan's expression remained normal. He considered for a moment and said, "I think it is inappropriate."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zehai's expression changed immediately. He did not allow anyone to question his decision, nor did he allow anyone to disobey him.

How dare Liu Luyan, a mere deputy general, question his strategy?
