After rebirth, I became a national teacher

After Pei Xiao was escorted back to the capital, he was forgotten by the Hu Khan who was busy with the war. He was not released from prison until his wife, the third princess of the Hu tribe, pleaded with the Khan many times.

Some of his trusted aides were not so lucky and are still in jail.

This directly resulted in Pei Xiao having no one available.

His wife, the Third Princess, spent her days eating, drinking and having fun, and didn't care about the war or the political situation at all.

Pei Xiao suffered some minor injuries on the way back to Shengdu. He has been recuperating since he was released from prison and has no idea about the changes in the outside world.

Therefore, on this day, when the commander of the Khan's personal guards led the Khan's personal guards into the princess's mansion, Pei Xiao and the third princess felt it was extremely sudden.

Pei Xiao's wife, the third princess, was quite favored by the Hu Khan. Pei Xiao was her third husband and the one she was most satisfied with, so he was very protective of her.

Seeing the Khan's personal soldiers rushing in, he shouted without hesitation:

"How dare you! Who told you to trespass into the princess's mansion?"

The leader who came to capture the people was the Fourth Prince, who was hostile to the Fifth Prince, the younger brother of the Third Princess.

He walked out from behind a group of personal soldiers and looked at Pei Xiao and his wife with contempt:

"Trespassing? Third sister, watch out for yourself. I am here to arrest him on the orders of my father, the Khan!"

As he said this, he took out the Khan's order.

The third princess still refused to give up:

"This must be fake. I'll go find my father Khan! My husband has clearly been pardoned by my father Khan himself, so why would he suddenly arrest him?"

The fourth prince laughed mockingly:

"Then go find it!"

After saying that, he waved his hand:

"Tie them up and take them away!"

Although Pei Xiao was very skilled in martial arts, he was no match for the many personal soldiers of King Hu. He could only endure the humiliation and be tied to the carriage.

He thought that even if he was involved in any struggle, the third princess would try her best to rescue him, so he maintained his composure on the surface.

However, when the carriage obviously left the city and the road became bumpy, he felt something was wrong.

"Stop! Stop!"

Pei Xiao asked sternly.

"Where are you taking me?"

The one in charge of delivering the gifts was the fourth prince.

He was escorting the gift on horseback. When he heard from the soldiers that Pei Xiao was making a fuss, he rode his horse to the side of the carriage.

He has always disliked the people from the third princess's faction.

Seeing that Pei Xiao finally couldn't maintain his calm mask, he raised the corners of his mouth maliciously and answered his question:

"Where should I take you? Of course, I'm taking you to meet your old acquaintance."

"What old acquaintance?" Pei Xiao immediately asked vigilantly.

"Why rush? You'll know when you get there."

Pei Xiao knew it immediately when he was escorted off the carriage.

Because their destination was a military camp located fifty miles outside Shengdu, and there were "Du'e" flags with red background and yellow borders everywhere.

It’s the Du’e Army’s camp!

Why did the Du'e Army arrive outside Shengdu City so quickly?

A doubt flashed through his mind, but he had no intention of caring about it.

Because he fully understood the intentions of the Fourth Prince.

This made Pei Xiao feel like he was falling into an icy cave, with a chill running down his body.

Sure enough, the fourth prince, who had been so unruly and arrogant just now, rode up on his horse and said politely to the guards of the military camp:

"The fourth prince of the Hu tribe, under the order of our Khan, has brought a gift to the God of Du'e, hoping to negotiate a ceasefire with the God!"

When Chen Qingzhu received Hui'an's report, he was trying on the dragon robe in the Qianqing Palace in the capital.

The preparations for the coronation ceremony were almost complete. The imperial crown and robes she would wear for the throne had been sewn and needed to be tried on and final adjustments made.

Of course, spiritual energy is precious, and this little thing is not worth her coming back from the Liaodong battlefield.

Trying on the dragon robe was just a small matter; the main thing was that there were some questions that she needed to deal with personally.

After marking the test papers, she tried on the dragon robe.

She put Pei Xiao's gift aside for the time being.
