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

From then on, Song Wenjing never wrote to Xie Jinyun again. The Xiao family army that went to Heifengzhai to suppress the bandits received a complete topographic map of Heifengzhai. Soon they attacked Heifengzhai and captured more than 3,000 bandits and the elderly, the weak, women and children, but did not find Song Wenjing.

Xiao Zhi found Song Yizi, who was frightened, and asked, "Where is Song Guangze?"

Song Yizi went crazy. When she heard Song Guangze's name, she screamed in fear and then crawled under the table.

The Xiao family guards found Song Guangze's sister Song Yining again. Xiao Zhi took out a piece of candy and asked Song Yining, "Do you know where your brother went?"

Song Yining didn't want the candy in Xiao Zhi's hand, but said truthfully: "Brother told me that he would leave Black Wind Village to drive back the Chen soldiers and pacify Xiguan. After the foreign enemies in Xiguan retreat, he will go somewhere else. He asked me to take care of myself in the future. If I see the queen, I should tell her... Brother can't turn back, because brother has committed a heinous crime, and brother has to atone for his sins."

Song Yining finished speaking what Song Wenjing had told her to say in slurred words.

Xiao Zhi caught the words "pacify Xiguan" from Song Yizi's words, and he immediately stood up and said to his subordinates: "Go to Xiguan quickly, Song Wenjing should have escaped to Xiguan."

Song Wenjing did not escape to Xiguan, but wrote a letter and used the Xuanniao of Chen State to send the letter to the eldest princess of Chen State. Soon, good news came from Xiguan.

The Chen soldiers mistakenly entered a swamp and were surrounded and attacked by Yan soldiers. In addition, after 50,000 Chen soldiers broke through the Xiguan gate, they found that there were no civilians in the city, only 100,000 Yan soldiers waiting for them to fall into the trap, which was equivalent to closing the door to fight the dog.

The Chen Kingdom's reinforcements were intercepted midway by another group of 800 Xiao family soldiers.

In this battle, Chen Bing lost two-thirds of his soldiers and generals.

Gu Changning stared at the letter sent from Xiguan with a complicated expression.

The soldier who delivered the letter said, "Your Majesty, General Xie said that he was not the one who trapped us in the swamp. He only moved the people of Xiguan in the shortest possible time and waited for the Chen army to break into the city before closing the door and beating the dogs. Moreover, he ordered all soldiers to kill the enemy and not accept surrender in order to avoid reinforcements from the Chen country. However, we fought for five days and five nights and did not see any reinforcements from the Chen country until the Xiao family army showed up."

After the soldier who delivered the letter finished speaking, Jiang Huai walked in from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, there is a letter from General Xiao."

"Bring it here."

Jiang Huai handed the letter to Gu Changning.

Gu Changning opened it and immediately understood what the battle of Xiguan was about.

He put away the letter and said to the soldier who delivered it: "Pass on my order. Let the soldiers at Xiguan go all the way west and seize the Lotus Terrace of Chen State."

When these words were spoken, all the important officials present showed expressions of disbelief.

The Lotus Platform is a sacred place of the Chen Kingdom and also their first national gate.

During the decades that Emperor Jingren was in power, he only drove back foreign enemies and did not continue to attack other countries. He valued peace over everything and tried to minimize wars. But the new emperor... New emperor, are you crazy?

"Your Majesty, what do you want to take?" Lord Ge wanted to confirm again.

Gu Changning stared at Lord Ge and said firmly, "I said that I will seize the Lotus Platform. When the Lotus Platform is captured, I will build an altar on the Lotus Platform to offer sacrifices to the heavens to comfort the souls of the generals of Yan State who died in vain under the swords of the Chen State."

"But war will only make the country poorer and the people homeless. Since the Xiguan soldiers have driven back the Chen soldiers, it is better to seek peace and negotiate with Chen. If we can promote a marriage between the two countries and maintain friendly relations between the two countries, then... that is the best policy."

"Marriage?" Gu Changning glanced at Lord Ge: "There is no princess in our dynasty who is suitable to be sent to Chen Kingdom for marriage. Lord Ge, are you planning to offer your own daughter to Chen Kingdom for marriage?"

Lord Ge's face changed drastically: "Your Majesty, you are still young and strong, and there is only the Empress in the harem. I heard that the Princess of Chen has always admired Your Majesty, why not..."

"Sell me out and seek peace between the two countries?" Gu Changning asked back suddenly.

Lord Ge frowned deeply and said, "No, what I mean is..."

"Bang!" Gu Changning picked up the memorial and slammed it heavily on the table, causing the ministers in the hall to be unable to breathe.

Gu Changning also stood up from the dragon chair, walked around the table, and came to Lord Ge, asking, "Why has Yan State been repeatedly suppressed by Chen State in recent years?"

"Because Chen State is strong in military and horses, our country cannot afford more blows. The people of Xiguan have a very hard life. The late emperor did not want the people to suffer from war, so he sent you, Your Majesty, to Chen State as a hostage in order to seek peace." Lord Ge took over Gu Changning's words.

Gu Changning sneered, "I have been a hostage for ten years. Has the war ended? Have the people of Xiguan stopped suffering? Will Chen State stop suppressing Yan State? Is the so-called peace request just cowardice or is there another reason?"

"The people of Chen think we are weaklings, so we in Yan should stand up. They dare to attack our Yan's west gate. When we have the chance, why can't we attack their gate and destroy their country?"

"Why should I beg for peace instead of them kneeling before me, begging for peace, offering me treasures, and sending hostages to my Yan State?"

"I have made up my mind to attack the Kingdom of Chen, and no one can hinder my determination."

"Attack the Lotus Terrace and attack the Chen Kingdom."

The order was given.

Xiguan, outside the pass.

"beat--"

Thousands of troops rushed out of the pass.

The Xie family army pursued the victory and drove the remaining troops of the Chen State back to the territory of the Chen State in Lianhuatai.

The defeated Princess Tuoba Zhao of Chen Kingdom had a gloomy look on her face after being driven back to the Lotus Terrace by Xie's army.

She tore up the letter Song Wenjing had written to her, kicked the coffee table away, and yelled angrily, "That man named Song Wenjing actually played a trick on me. If I catch him, I will tear him into pieces and kill all his nine clans. Ahhhhhhh..."

Chen State had never been defeated by Yan State in nearly ten years. This was the first time that it suffered such a terrible defeat. Tuoba Zhao, who usually had his way, was almost going crazy.

Yuan Xiang advised: "What's the point of saying this now? Find a way to make up for it."

"Three hundred thousand troops, three hundred thousand, and less than a hundred thousand returned, and you make light of it like that." Tuoba Zhao smashed everything on the table that could be smashed.

Prime Minister Yuan stood there, watching silently: "Now the Yan Kingdom is no longer ruled by Emperor Jingren, but by Gu Changning. Ever since the princess abused him for a long time and took pleasure in killing the eunuchs and guards around him, the princess should know that if this man inherits the throne of Yan one day, he will definitely come back to retaliate against Chen Kingdom. Now in this battle, doesn't the princess understand? You shouldn't believe the man named Song Wenjing. He let you taste the sweetness once, and the princess believed everything he said. The princess might as well go out and see for herself who is the marshal who led the troops to attack the Lotus Terrace this time."

When Tuoba Zhao heard this, he ran out of the house barefoot, walked to the lotus platform on the high wall and looked down.

The Xie Ci who was shot to death by her is still alive!

Tuoba Zhao immediately cursed out a series of dirty words in their country's language...
