A cold dream is not a dream come true

Chapter 43: The slap in the face

"My king forbids it." Danan Wang said coldly.

Da Nan Wang's words made my heart tense, and I don't know why my nose is sore.

"King! Jingyan begs you!" Lu Jingyan still did not give up, and once again knocked her head on the ground.

"I'm not sure what this king said, so sister Jingyan don't ask anymore." King Danan's tone calmed down a little, and he didn't seem to be angry because of it.

Lu Jingyan also felt that King Da Nan would not get angry with her, so she wiped her tears and said boldly: "Eleventh brother, sister Jingyan has suffered a lot since she was a child, and at this age she still can't decide her own marriage..."

King Danan was a child after all, he couldn't bear to see his sister kneeling in the main hall and pleading with him, her forehead was also broken.

"Sister Jingyan is originally a princess, so it's easy to find a man who will entrust her life in the Great Southern Kingdom." King Danan slowed down his speech, "I will take good care of my sister's children, and you only need to marry a Ruyi Langjun, you don’t have to worry about other things.”

Lu Jingyan clutched the handkerchief tightly with both hands, and shook her head desperately: "Jingyan's wishful husband is Yuxue."

King Danan sighed softly: "Hey, sister, are you afraid that other men will dislike your past? You are the princess of the Great Southern Kingdom. Whoever dares to dislike you, the king, will kill him!"

"Jingyan appreciates the king's kindness, but now Jingyan only wants to follow Yuxue..." Lu Jingyan still refused to give up.

King Danan shook his head: "Hey...this king is also doing it for your own good..."

I knelt by the side and watched Lu Jingyan and Da Nan Wang talk to each other, and I didn't know when there would be a result.I moved my right leg a little bit because my knees were numb from kneeling on the ground for so long.

Just when I was distracted, a stern voice suddenly came from the side: "Princess Jingyan, don't push yourself too far!"

Although the voice is a bit old, but the tone is very strong and decisive.The sound hit the wall of the narrow main hall, causing the echoes to superimpose, making the sound even louder, exuding a powerful deterrent force.

I was startled by the sound, and Prince Xi, who was kneeling beside me, quietly grabbed my right hand.

I followed the voice and saw that the speaker was the 70-year-old minister who just emphasized that "Lu Jingyan's face is disgraced".The old minister had white hair all over his head, and his face was covered with deep wrinkles.At this moment, he was staring sharply at Lu Jingyan who was kneeling on the ground.

"True master, don't get angry!" King Danan waved his hand and said to the old official, "This king has his own judgment."

The old minister who was called Master Zhen snorted, flung his sleeves and retreated.I looked up at King Danan, and found that he looked a little troubled.These ministers were all loyal ministers who personally put King Danan on the throne and were considerate of the country. He could not disregard the opinions of the ministers and grant marriages privately; but Lu Jingyan was his older sister, so naturally he could not be too oppressive.If the two begged him in private, maybe he would let them go as if there was no such thing.Now that Shen Yuxue and Lu Jingyan are asking for marriage in front of many ministers, it is really difficult to handle!

King Danan shook his head, "Shen Shangshu and Sister Jingyan, you don't need to beg me anymore, the things this king has decided will not change." After finishing speaking, he got up and walked towards the back of the hall.

The ministers also sighed and retreated.

"King!" Shen Yuxue yelled unwillingly towards the direction in which King Danan left, but King Danan didn't look back, leaving only a helpless figure behind.

Not long after, there were only four of us kneeling on the ground left in the main hall.Prince Xi got up and patted the dust on his body to help me up, and I barely stood up.My legs were numb from kneeling for too long.

"Jingyan...get up..." Shen Yuxue stood up and pulled Lu Jingyan who was still kneeling on the ground sobbing. Lu Jingyan was only concerned with crying and refused to get up.

"Miss Shen..." Prince Xi patted Shen Yuxue on the shoulder, "Your request for a marriage is too early. Why don't you wait until the victory comes back before you mention this?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Yuxue shook her head, "I'm back after a big victory? I'm afraid I'll never return."

"Don't say such things." Prince Xi shook his head, "Our army will surely win."

"Forget it." Shen Yuxue sighed, "See you at the gate of the city at noon tomorrow."

The next day, after lunch, Prince Xi put on his armor and was ready to go.

"Chuhan, I'll meet Shen Shangshu at the city gate first, and you go to Princess Pavilion to find Jingyan. I'll see you at the east city gate."

"Okay." I nodded.

Prince Xi stepped forward.I handed Wanxia over to the servants in the Nanguo Palace, and then simply took some luggage and wound medicine and headed for the Princess Pavilion.

When I came to the Princess Pavilion, I saw Lu Jingyan combing her hair in front of the bronze mirror.When she saw me coming in, she stood up immediately.

"Miss Meng, can we go?"

"Princess Jingyan, dress up quickly, Luo Bing and Shen Shangshu have already met at the city gate." I nodded.

"I've never been to the battlefield to watch the battle between the two armies." Lu Jingyan said while packing her bags, "I really want to see Yuxue fighting..."

"I'll see." I replied with a smile.

Suddenly, a man's voice sounded outside the door of Princess Pavilion, "Who allowed you to watch the battle?"

I turned around suddenly and found King Da Nan walking in from the outside.

"Meet the king." I bowed down to say hello.

"See the king..." Lu Jingyan also bent down, "The king means that Jingyan is not allowed to go?"

"Why are you going to the front of the two armies at the woman's house?" An old man's voice sounded, I looked up and found that the King of Great Nan with a somewhat helpless expression was followed by a few stubborn veterans.

"But..." Lu Jingyan was a little embarrassed, she looked at me, then at King Danan, "Miss Meng is going too..."

"She is Mrs. Su, and as a family member of Mr. Su, you must be able to go." King Danan said, "As the princess of the Great Southern Kingdom, you should stay in Awuda Palace."

"But……"

"There's nothing more to worry about, Princess Jingyan." The veteran behind him stepped forward and said, "The princess only needs to rest in the palace, and don't worry about the rest."

Lu Jingyan looked at me with begging eyes, and I stood by, but dared not speak a word.Lu Jingyan, as the princess of the Great Southern Kingdom, has been oppressed like this, and I, an outsider, can't talk too much.

King Danan shook his head and said to me: "Mrs. Su, don't keep Mr. Su and Shangshu Shen waiting, let's meet at the east gate."

Seeing that King Da Nan took the initiative to talk to me, I immediately replied nervously, "Okay."

As soon as we left the Princess Pavilion, Lu Jingyan ran out on the back.I saw her holding the package and desperately running towards the city gate.Seeing this, King Danan immediately called the guards around him to arrest him.

Lu Jingyan is just a weak woman, how could she outrun the specially trained guards.As soon as she took two steps, she was firmly held down by the shoulder by the guard.

"Eleventh brother! You are sorry for the dead father!" Lu Jingyan shouted, struggling desperately.

Da Nan Wang didn't speak, he just looked at Lu Jingyan silently.

"True master, my mother never treated you badly when she was alive, why did you obstruct me like this?" Lu Jingyan cried.

"Concubine Lu is a reasonable person, but the old minister doesn't understand why she raised such a daughter." Master Zhen sneered, "It's rare that she is still the princess of Pingyang Kingdom. Is it true that all the children educated by Pingyang Kingdom are you?" look like!"

"True master! Don't be rude!" Danan Wang immediately reprimanded me considering that I was still nearby.

The real master also realized that he had said something wrong, so he kept silent.

"Let go of me, I'm going to the East Gate! I'm going to Keshen Mountain! Let me go!" Lu Jingyan shouted while struggling.

I looked up at her and found that she was disheveled and disheveled, very embarrassed.Her teary eyes looked at me helplessly, and I immediately lowered my head and dared not look at her.

"Princess Jingyan has lost her mind, so she hastened to seek treatment from the imperial physician." Master Zhen said to the guard next to her, "From now on, she will be under house arrest in the Princess Pavilion, and she will not be released without the king's order."

"Yes." The guards immediately dragged Lu Jingyan back to the Princess Pavilion.

"True master, you are too much!, your eleventh brother..." Lu Jingyan's cry became smaller and smaller until we couldn't hear it.

"Mrs. Su, you are laughing at the family scandal." King Danan turned to me and said, "Let's go to the east gate to meet Shen Shangshu and Prince Xi. It's already noon."

I nodded, not daring to make further comments.At this time, Master Zhen came over and whispered to me: "Just now I offended you, Madam Su, please forgive me. But Madam Su is also a smart person, what should be said and what should not be said in front of Shen Shangshu, you should be knew."

I looked up at Master Zhen, and found that his sharp eyes were shining strangely.

This real master is indeed a formidable character, he can not only control the behavior of the king, but also give orders on behalf of the king.Thinking of this, cold sweat started to break out on my back.

To make a long story short, our group came to the east gate to meet Shen Yuxue and Prince Xi. Seeing that Lu Jingyan didn't follow, Shen Yuxue asked anxiously.The king didn't say much, but threw the tail of the story to me.I explained in a panic that Shen Yu suddenly developed a fever, and Lu Jingyan couldn't leave for the time being, so she won't come to watch the battle this time.When Shen Yuxue heard that Shen Yu had a fever, she worriedly asked a few words about his condition, and I just had to bite the bullet and make up a few words.Probably because I know something about Shen Yu's condition, so Shen Yuxue didn't doubt me.But Prince Xi seemed to notice that my expression was wrong, and glanced at me several times while speaking.

Let’s say we drove all night, and it was already late at night when we arrived in Puchakchi Town.

The county magistrate of Puchakeqi Town, Puzhi County, arranged a residence for us. General Dou, the general who defended the city, explained the situation to Shen Yuxue and Prince Xi: Keshen Mountain is between Puchakeqi Town and Shenyuan Village in Dongzhu Country, but The town of Puchakqi is low-lying. If the Dongzhu army attacks from above, our army will definitely be defeated.If Puchakeqi Town takes the initiative to occupy the top of Keshen Mountain first, and then takes the initiative to attack Shenyuan Village, there is a chance of victory.

"So, our army has a higher chance of defeat?" Prince Xi asked, frowning.

"Well, it can be said like this." General Dou said, "Although the enemy has 50 troops and our army has 80 troops, the terrain is not conducive to our defense. If the enemy troops occupy the top of Keshen Mountain first, and our army wants to counterattack, one person must charge Get out of the encirclement and attack the enemy from inside and outside."

"Fighting from inside and outside?" Shen Yuxue asked, frowning.

"Yes, attack from inside and outside." General Dou took out his hand and dipped some water, and drew on the table, "For example, if the enemy comes to fight, Mr. Su can lead 40 horses to drag down the mountain, and Shen Shangshu can lead another 40 troops. Thousands of people find a breakthrough and fight a bloody road. In this way, Su Gongzi and Shen Shangshu can surround the enemy army in the middle and attack, and they can win."

"This is a clever plan!" Shen Yuxue praised.

"However, it would be a heavy loss." General Dou shook his head, "If Shen Shangshu leads his troops to break through, there is a tenth chance that he will not come back alive."

After saying this, none of the three made a sound.After a long time, General Dou said: "We must occupy the top of the mountain before Dongzhu sends troops. Let's go to Dongzhu early tomorrow morning, everyone, let's rest first."

Back in the house, Prince Xi immediately fell asleep for tomorrow's battle, while I lay on the bed tossing and turning.This battle is more ominous than good, if it fails, the loss will be even more severe than the previous battle against Goryeo.Not only will we not be able to reach Liuli Island, but we may lose our lives.

The next morning I was woken up by a noise.I opened my eyes to find that Prince Hee had left the house.There was a lot of noise outside, and there were chaotic footsteps everywhere.I hurriedly washed and dressed, dressed and went outside.

"Master Zhixian, what happened?" I called to stop the flustered Puzhi County.

Puzhi County turned around and said anxiously: "Mrs. Su, the enemy army has attacked the city!"

"What?" I thought to myself, last night General Dou specially emphasized that our army should occupy the top of Keshen Mountain before the enemy attacked the city.

"Magistrate, can you take me to watch the battle?"

"Madam Su, be careful." Puzhi County nodded.

Ascending to the gate tower of Puchakeqi Town, I saw the Dongzhu Army in the dark on the Keshen Mountain at a glance.Prince Xi, Shen Yuxue, and General Dou led an army of 80 standing at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the enemy general to appear.

Not long after, three men and horses drove out from the center of the enemy army, led by a general wearing a golden armor on a bay red horse.The general held a golden spear in his hand, and the spear shone dazzlingly under the sunlight.

The three men and horses waiting for the enemy stopped at the front of the army, and the general in golden armor suddenly burst out laughing.When I listened carefully, the other party turned out to be a woman.

The golden armor picked up the spear, pointed at Prince Xi and shouted: "Miss Su, I didn't expect to meet you here, don't come here without any harm!"

Miss Su?Prince Xi is obviously a woman disguised as a man, why can the other party see the flaw?

I looked up and suddenly thought badly.

The person who came was none other than Miss Yun Xinyun, the crown prince of Dongzhu Kingdom.
