Xiao Chuan took the lead, but did not attack the Xijue soldiers' faces. Instead, he stopped midway and looked at the leader of the Xijue soldiers from a distance.
"Look!" the Xijue soldiers shouted excitedly: "They dare not come over. The Zhou people are all cowards, and they are also afraid."
Xi Jue's morale seemed to be lifted at this moment, but they didn't realize that this was not a good thing.
"Kill for me, kill, kill, kill!" the leader shouted.
Xiao Chuan froze in the sound of galloping horse hooves, his body burning with endless fighting spirit.
He was a general, and the Xiao family was born to fight on the battlefield, not to clean up the filth in the official trenches of Shengjing, nor to grovel in the contempt of the powerful.
He will step on the blood of the people who are coming in the snow to win this battle at the place where his ancestors fought.
This battle must be won!
……
Xiao Chuan returned in triumph, his armor stained with blood, and he had never been as happy as he was at this moment in his life.
He threw away the horse's reins and helmet and knelt on one knee in front of Shen Yu.
"Princess! Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"
The soldiers were all cheering, and this battle was more exciting than the one they won in anxiety a few days ago.
Xiao Chuan knew that this was the opportunity Shen Yu gave him. She could obviously lead the troops out of the city by herself, but she gave him the credit because she was deliberately training him.
"Get up." Shen Yu said: "You are a serious general now, don't kneel down all the time."
Xiao Chuan laughed, his bloody face grinning with white teeth.
He tilted his head and saw a young man jumping all the way on the roof.
The gate of the city was crowded with soldiers, and there was no place to stay. Chang stayed there and was anxious, holding something up in his hand and shouting: "Brothers, I'm sorry."
After saying that, he stepped on his feet, jumped over on the shoulders of several people, and climbed up the stone steps to the city wall.
"Princess, there are letters! One is from our messenger from the north, and there are two letters written by I don't know who."
Shen Yu accepted it, took the letter and walked to the corner of the city wall, opening the letter from Beilin.
Xiao Chuan and Chang Liu were sensible and did not follow them.
Changliu was also inspired by today's victory, "Brother Xiao fought so beautifully."
Xiao Chuan reached out to pinch his neck, but Chang Liu deftly dodged it and said, "You are covered in the blood of the Xijue people. You are so dirty."
The letter paper made a slight sound in the cold wind. Shen Yu held the letter and read it carefully.
Xie Tingzhou's letter was not long, just a few words to comfort his lovesickness.
Shen Yu finished reading it quickly and read it over and over several times before carefully folding it and putting it in her chest, and then opened the other two letters in turn.
Xiao Chuan was playing with Chang Liu when he turned around and saw Shen Yu walking towards him with a sullen face.
"Princess, is there something important?"
Shen Yu said, "I'm going to Cao Guangjin's house, and you come with me."
Looking at Shen Yu's expression, Xiao Chuan knew that something was urgent, so he took off his armor as he walked quickly, took the soldier's handkerchief and wiped his face.
When Cao Guangjin was at home, he heard that they had won another battle, and the two of them came uninvited. When he went to greet them, Shen Yu and Xiao Chuan had already entered the courtyard.
"Princess, do you have something to do with me?"
"I'm not looking for you." Shen Yu said, "I'm looking for Jiang Lianzhi."
Jiang Lianzhi came under the imperial edict and was invited to live in Cao Guangjin's mansion.
That day Jiang Lianzhi read out the imperial edict, and he came to discuss peace.
Cao Guangjin was happy to hear about the peace talks. As long as there was no war, he would be able to sit securely as an official. No matter what terms were negotiated, it was a matter for the court and he did not need to step in.
But he made insinuations, and Jiang Lianzhi showed no sign of going to negotiate peace. He only said that the time had not come yet, but in the final analysis, Jiang Lianzhi had the final say on the timing.
Cao Guangjin said: "Unfortunately, Mr. Jiang is ill."
"Lead the way." Shen Yu said, "I have something to ask him about."
The three of them went to Jiang Lianzhi's courtyard. On the way, Cao Guangjin talked about Jiang Lianzhi's illness.
"Master Jiang serves the country and the people. The battle at Yanliang Pass kept Master Jiang awake at night. He sat on the city wall all night a few days ago. It happened to be snowing that night. When the soldiers came over in the morning, they all turned into snowmen and almost froze. Ice cubes can't help me get sick. Doctors come to see me every day and use the best medicinal materials, but the condition never improves."
Cao Guangjin became very worried when he talked about this. Jiang Lianzhi was an important minister in the court and an envoy for peace talks. If he died in his house, he could not bear the crime.
Shen Yu may know the answer, so she walked into the hospital.
A series of coughs came from the room, and Cao Guangjin heard the wrinkles between his eyebrows deepen a little deeper.
The maid said: "Sir, the princess, Master Cao and General Xiao are here to see you."
Jiang Lianzhi covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed. He took two breaths and said, "Jiang is sick in bed and can't get up. I'm afraid the illness will spread to the princess, so I'll ask a few people to talk outside."
After saying that, she heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and Shen Yu walked around the screen.
"I received news from Shengjing that Li Zhaonian suddenly fell into a coma due to a serious illness and Yi Yi failed to wake up."
Surprise flashed across Jiang Lianzhi's eyes and he said, "What do you want me to do when you tell me this?"
After saying this, there was another series of coughs.
Shen Yu said seriously: "How was Li Zhaonian's health before you set off?"
Jiang Lianzhi was silent for a moment, his throat itching badly.
She asked him about the health of Emperor Yongning, who was thousands of miles away, but she didn't ask a word about him as a patient.
"Before I left Shengjing, Emperor Yongning was in good health, and it was unlikely that he would fall into a coma due to a serious illness, but it does not rule out the possibility of me falling into a coma."
The illness came like a mountain, and he could not find the meaning of life, so he had no desire to survive. He poured out the soup and medicine, and the original cold and wind naturally became more serious.
The maid came in with chairs, and Shen Yu and others sat down.
Shen Yu raised her hand to stop the maid from serving tea and said, "You said that the proposal for peace negotiations came from the Queen's family. Was Li Zhaonian restricted by his relatives in the court?"
Jiang Lianzhi nodded, "That's right."
Cao Guangjin listened to Shen Yu talking about Li Zhaonian, and he did not shy away from calling Emperor Yongning by his first name. He tried to speak several times but never found a chance.
Shen Yu thought for a while, "If you don't suffer a serious illness suddenly, what is the possibility of being murdered?"
Cao Guangjin was horrified, "Oh, how awesome is this?"
Shen Yu glanced at him, and Cao Guangjin quickly shut his mouth.
Jiang Lianzhi pressed his lips with a handkerchief and said weakly: "It's very big. Maybe you don't know yet. Emperor Yongning is not only restricted by his relatives, but also by King Yan."
"Li Jifeng?"
