Chapter 218 The Impatient Empress

Cheng Zian and Chu Yi watched the whole process of the martial arts competition, and there were no surprises during the process, but the result was not unexpected. It was still the performance of the few people Lu Heng had favored before was more prominent.

Because Lu Heng was not about to resign immediately, the competition seemed to be over after that. Afterwards, the military camp was calm, and there was no change in the result of this competition.It was a bit unexpected that Cheng Zian didn't participate, and the news that she was going back to Beijing to get married quickly spread throughout the barracks.

In the past few days, Cheng Zian's soldiers have been expecting love and love. They hang around in front of Cheng Zian and Chu Yi when they have nothing to do, showing their presence all the time, which also disturbs Cheng Zian. No chance.

So one day, Cheng Zian, who couldn't take it anymore, finally called all his own soldiers, and said frankly, "Just say what you want, and stop dangling in front of my eyes." You will be struck by lightning, don't you know? !

Apparently, the soldiers were also waiting for this to be open and honest. As soon as Cheng Zian opened his mouth, someone asked: "Recently, there have been rumors in the army, and people with low ranks feel uneasy. The low ranks have been with the general for two years. If the general wants to return to Beijing , I will wait for the future..."

The personal soldiers are the most special group of people. They are different from ordinary sergeants.If the general died, or was transferred and refused to take them away, their life would immediately become extremely difficult. Cheng Zian was going to leave, and they were naturally anxious.

Cheng Zian naturally thought about this question, so he said: "I want to go back to Beijing. It's hard to say what job I will have in the future, or whether I will be idle at home. If any of you are willing to follow me, you can go back to Beijing with me. If you want If you want to stay, I will entrust you to General Wang to take care of you."

The soldiers looked at each other, and after a while, someone stood up and said, "I would like to continue to follow the general."

When one person speaks out, many people agree, most of them agree, but a few others stand up and say: "People with humble ranks are in Xinzhou, I can't let go, I'm afraid I won't be able to follow the general anymore."

Regarding this, Cheng Zian didn't force it, nodded and said: "In that case, you can follow me to see General Wang tomorrow."

Several people agreed, and felt at ease.It's just that a few months later, when they heard that their former chief general became the emperor's husband and became an existence that is difficult to reach in this life, will they regret today's choice?

But that was all a few months later, not to mention these little soldiers, the generals in the entire Xinzhou camp didn't know that Cheng Zian would have such a good future.They only cared about when Cheng Zian would leave and when the position of the general of the Chinese army would be vacated, and Cheng Zian's personal soldiers also wanted to ask: "When will the general leave for Beijing? I'll wait and make arrangements early."

Cheng Zi'an was silent, and finally said quietly: "It's probably almost here."

It was indeed coming soon, the general selection contest was over, and the soldiers and horses of Hou Qi were scared away by Chu Yi.This autumn's war seems to have ended early because of this, and now they just need to wait for Qi Chaotang's attitude, and they should return to Beijing.

The five-year agreement has come to an end. At the beginning, it was Chu Yi talking to himself, but Cheng Zian didn't say yes.But now, the words "returning to Beijing" and "marriage" are deeply rooted in Cheng Zian's mind. Just thinking about it makes him look forward to it.

****************************************************************************

At the end of August, the weather gradually turned cold, and the thin clothes could no longer be worn, and autumn clothes were needed.

At this time of year in previous years, the soldiers and horses of Houqi still hadn't retreated, and they would take advantage of the winter before the arrival to plunder frantically at the end.But this year was an exception. Not to mention the lack of fighting half a month earlier, the soldiers and horses of Hou Qi even retreated directly to Li City, which was hundreds of miles away, obviously retreating ahead of schedule.

Most of the soldiers in the army didn't know what to do, until the end of August, an envoy was actually sent from Houqi.

The prince who killed someone else was not a soldier, so naturally he could only be an envoy.Lu Heng was not surprised at all. After asking Chu Yi, he didn't avoid the others. He directly summoned the generals and received the envoys in the large tent of the Chinese army.

Chu Yi had already asked Yu Lin to report her name when she killed the Seventh Prince, and when the envoy of Hou Qi arrived, her identity could no longer be concealed.

Sure enough, as soon as the envoy entered the big tent, he saw only the full tent of generals, but did not see the Empress of Chu, so he asked, "Where is His Majesty the Emperor of Chu? I have a letter of credence to present."

There was a moment of silence in the big tent, except for Lu Heng, everyone else looked at each other in blank dismay.

Chu Yi entered the account at this time.She was dressed in modest clothes on this trip, and she did not expect to encounter such a thing. Naturally, she did not bring any dragon robe formal attire, and only wore a moon-white dress.The clothes are not luxurious, but he has a majestic manner but he doesn't restrain himself, he just walks slowly from the tent door, and the power of that body overwhelms everyone's heart and fear, and they dare not look at him closely.

Lu Hengdang bowed to salute first, and the envoys of Hou Qi were as good as he was, but the generals who had seen Chu Yi were all dumbfounded, and there was only one thought in their minds: Isn't this General Cheng's little daughter-in-law?Isn't General Lu teasing us? !

Of course, this kind of thought just flashed in my mind, and after Chu Yi's cold and majestic eyes swept over everyone, they immediately came back to their senses.These battle-tested generals just got such an unsalty glance, they felt like they were on their backs, and they didn't dare to think about anything else, they just suppressed the absurdity in their hearts, and followed Lu Heng in a respectful bow.

Satisfied, Chu Yi walked to the main seat and sat down, and then said: "Excuse me, everyone." After speaking, he looked at the envoy of Houqi, and said, "Where is the national letter? Bring it to me to see."

Being so direct immediately blocked what the envoy was going to say, and weakened his momentum by two points.

The accompanying Habayashi received the letter of credence from the envoy, and then presented it to Chu Yi who was on the throne.

It was not the first time for Chu Yi to read such things as the state letter. He had read several letters of state of Yan in Beizhou back then.At that time, I only felt full of anger after reading it, but now when I read Hou Qi's Guoshu, Chu Yi couldn't help laughing out loud.

Compared with three years ago, Chu Yi is now more arrogant and arrogant. At that time, she dared to tear up the national letter in front of the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, but now she will naturally not bear it, and she will even laugh out loud.Laughing so that everyone was puzzled, and the envoy's face turned pale after laughing, she suppressed her smile and asked solemnly, "Where does this letter of your country come from?"

Hou Qi has always been the weakest of China among the Three Kingdoms. Both Chu and Yan have been inherited for hundreds of years, and only Hou Qi was restored after Qi was destroyed.During the period, there were many civil strife, and the change of dynasties greatly damaged the national power, so that it is now the weakest among the Three Kingdoms.If the national strength is weak, the confidence is insufficient. Even if an excellent and favored prince died, he would only dare to condemn him with a letter of credence.

The face of Hou Qi's envoy was blushing, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he could only say indignantly: "The Seventh Prince is so innocent, he was murdered, shouldn't His Majesty give Hou Qi an explanation?"

Chu Yi finds it extremely boring to just chatter.She casually threw the letter of credence on the table in front of her, and said coldly: "He assassinated me, shouldn't he deserve to die?!"

The envoy of Hou Qi choked for a moment, and the expressions of the generals in the tent were also quite strange.Most of them are used to the routine of capturing important captives and then redeeming them with money. Therefore, Emperor Qi boldly released his valued son to the battlefield to practice. Who knows that his prince has not even been on the real battlefield for a while. When he returned, he broke his halberd and sank into the sand first.

After a while, the envoy of Hou Qi said: "There is chaos on the battlefield, and His Royal Highness has never seen His Majesty, how would he know..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Yi nodded and continued: "On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and he won't die just because he is a prince."

The envoy of Hou Qi choked again, and he was so angry that he almost wanted to growl: The Seventh Prince didn't die on the battlefield, you clearly captured him, but you didn't follow the rules and killed him with your own hands in front of our soldiers!

Chu Yi was too lazy to entangle with him anymore. After reading the letter of credence and seeing this envoy, the threat of Hou Qi was crossed in Chu Yi's heart—such a weak country, such a submissive envoy, Right now, there is really nothing to fear.

Thinking of this, Chu Yi stood up again, looked at the messenger disdainfully, and said indifferently: "If people are killed, they will be killed. If Hou Qi wants to seek justice, he can send troops here, and I will follow." Let go in a huff.

Cheng Zian has been with Chu Yi from the beginning to the end, she entered the account with her, and naturally left together at this time.In the big tent, she didn't say a word, but after she left, she asked: "What is the purpose of sending such a letter of credence?"

Chu Yi smiled nonchalantly, and said, "Probably because I want to get some benefits, and also to save face."

Cheng Zian was not surprised, and only asked: "Your Majesty won't give them this face?"

Chu Yi snorted lightly: "I make trouble at the border every year, what face do I give?"

Cheng Zian was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "There has been trouble in Xinzhou for decades, has Your Majesty ever thought about using troops against the rear?"

Chu Yi stopped, looked back at Cheng Zian, did not deny it, just smiled and said: "These things can be discussed later. For me, the most important thing right now is the wedding!"

Cheng Zian also laughed, and happily led his daughter-in-law to his military tent: "When the envoy leaves, let's go back to Beijing."

His Majesty the Emperor walked away, leaving behind a full tent of people looking at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

After a while, the envoy of Houqi left angrily, his face was more ugly than ever, but he still didn't dare to say such cruel words as "send troops to attack".So when I left, I felt a little bleak.

The delivery of the letter of credence this time was anticlimactic, because the envoy of Hou Qi left in despair, no one took it to heart.But as soon as the envoy left, the generals with full bills surrounded Lu Heng and asked questions in a hurry, apparently still in disbelief.

After a while, the generals in the big tent finally came out one after another. Although they were not as angry as the emissary before, they all had weird faces and were constipated.Some of his subordinates went up to ask, but they never got a response, and everyone was silent.

Later, some people finally came to their senses from the shocking news. They didn't dare to bother His Majesty the Emperor, so they wanted to make friends with Cheng Zian while he was still in the army.In the end, he couldn't see anyone, so when he asked, the soldier explained: "The general and his wife are packing their bags, and they are going back to Beijing in two days."

Everyone was stunned for a while when they heard the words, but they also knew that they couldn't force it, so they could only sigh and give up in the end.

Two days later, there was still no movement in Houqi, no troops were mobilized, and even the emissary who had left in despair never came again, as if the matter had just disappeared.

Chu Yi ran out of patience, and didn't want to delay her lifelong event because of this, so she chose a sunny day, and with everyone seeing her off, she took her general to leave the Xinzhou camp and set off on her way home.

The author has something to say: Chu Yi (casually): I'm leaving now, are you reluctant?

Cheng Zian (confused): What are you reluctant to bear?

Chu Yi (humming): I can't bear to come and see your little lady off!
