This is the story of a parallel world.

Thirteen years, her career in the army has been thirteen years, from a handsome young man to a brave and warlike general, dedicated to the court, brave and loyal, mentioning her name is known to everyone, and the enemy army is terrified. But who knew that this battle-hardened general would be a woman.

"General Xia, Your Majesty has a decree to return to the capital in ten days." One of the messengers bowed his hand, and when he had finished speaking, he withdrew.

As soon as the people left, several other soldiers were dissatisfied, "In recent years, I have become more and more incomprehensible about what Your Majesty means, the brothers fought on the battlefield under the leadership of General Xia, defended the frontier from foreign enemies, and finally calmed down, Your Majesty actually let the general return to the capital?" ”

"Brother Cheng, don't be angry, you don't know, Your Majesty is suspicious by nature, the frontier has been peaceful in recent years, thanks to General Xia guarding here, over time, some people have rumors, saying that the general has too much military power and intends to rebel, Your Majesty will listen to this, and will let the general return to Beijing, I am afraid that this time it will be ......."

"Yun Rui, be cautious."

"Hey, Brother Qinghan, I'm telling the truth." The man known as Yun Rui sighed faintly, glanced at General Xia not far away, and kept staring at the document in his hand.

"Since Your Majesty has a decree, we are going back to Beijing." The tone is flat without a trace of ups and downs, as if he is used to seeing the red dust in this world. Several lieutenants on the left and right looked at someone in unison, and swallowed everything they wanted to say.

The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, Xia Qian folded the documents one by one and put them in his arms, looked up at the sky, it was already ugly, the Great Chu frontier was 10,000 miles away from the capital, even if their horses were excellent, they couldn't withstand this toss, and they had to rush to the capital day and night in order to catch up as scheduled.

"Yes, yes." Several people replied in unison.

Although they rushed back to the capital in a very low-key disguise, when some post stations on the way, many people still recognized them, because the heroic deeds of General Xia were told by the storyteller I don't know how many times, it was more than ten years ago, a young man named Xia Qian fell into the middle of the road, almost killed by a local thief, and was later rescued by a passing centurion, and then entered the barracks. Let him be a cook in the army and manage everyone's food.

The young man who was left behind gradually grew up in the army, his cooking skills increased day by day, he was treated kindly, and everyone took special care of him when he was young, taking care of him as a younger brother, and was reluctant to go to the battlefield with such a young child. If it weren't for an accident, the enemy sneak attack, led a team of elite troops to burn their rear storage grain, the fifteen-year-old boy became famous in a battle, picked up a curved bow and calmly set up an arrow, and shot an arrow at the leader, his brain shattered, that scene was terrifying.

The boy led everyone to protect Da Chu's military rations, and this battle greatly dealt a blow to the arrogant momentum of the enemy, and finally won the victory, and the boy officially became a regular army.

After that, the young man killed a piece of the sky, and made countless military achievements, and the enemy army heard his name and saw his person, and all trembled, saying that the general who was always victorious and undefeated had a beautiful appearance and a face like a crown of jade, but on the battlefield, like a devil crawling out of hell, his dark and bottomless eyes were like a pool of deep water that flooded people with nowhere to breathe, and when they met his eyes, he first took away his soul and soul, and then lost his life. Everybody calls it, Yama.

Xia Qian and a few people rushed back to the capital almost sleeplessly, without washing, they stepped into the palace hall in the dust, and waited for about half an hour before the emperor summoned him, simply greeted the situation of the frontier, was very satisfied with his performance, and rewarded him to go back to the house to listen to the order.

"Ah, I really can't stand it, Your Majesty came all the way to let us come back, but nothing happened, so I ran blindly."

"Your Majesty's mind is unpredictable, along the way, there are many rumors that Your Majesty intends to let the general stay in Beijing, and wants to find a few women with both ability and political integrity to marry the general."

"Isn't that good? The general's blood is strong, and it is time to start a family. ”

"Shhhh Brother Cheng, be careful that the wall has ears," Gu Yunrui lowered his voice and shook his fan slowly, "This is not a great thing, if Your Majesty marries the princess to the general, the general will become a concubine, and he will not be allowed to touch the affairs of the court again." ”

"W-why?"

"Your Majesty is afraid that the general has military power in his hands, and he is very dissatisfied with this, who in the court does not know the prestige of the general, especially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness have been competing for the position of the Son of Heaven for a long time, this time the general returned to Beijing, whether it is to support the prince, or to support the Seven Highnesses Those important ministers of the court are afraid to break through the general's mansion and visit the door to win over the general." Gu Yunrui pondered for a while and said it word by word.

"Hmm, I understand," Cheng Haoxuan bowed slightly, and said, "It seems that the wind is going to rise in the capital." ”

There was a bang, a sound of water, in the bath room, Xia Qian dismissed the subordinates, and took a bath in it alone, the night she returned to Beijing, she was not unclear about His Majesty's meaning, in the palace, His Majesty appreciated her hard work on the battlefield for many years, and now that the border is stable, she should be rewarded, and she is not young, the man is married, and the woman is in charge, it's time to think about it, and vaguely show this meaning, he wants her to stay in Beijing and obediently hand over the military power.

The tree is so popular, her prestige is in full swing, no wonder His Majesty is so jealous of her. A son of heaven who is in charge of the world, when he hears these gossips, even if they are not true, after hearing them, he naturally believes them.

"Isn't it time to disarm and return to the field?" Xia Qian muttered to himself, stood out from the barrel, his wet hair fell on his shoulders, reached out and took the towel on the shelf next to him to wipe the water droplets on his body, when he saw the scars of different shades on his body, he touched it, and felt a chill in his heart, such a body, stronger muscles than men, who would want to marry? What's more, she still concealed her true identity, and if Her Majesty knew about it, she would definitely be furious. Everyone knows what the fate of deceiving the Son of Heaven is.

After taking a bath, Xia Qian walked out in a undershirt, and happened to meet the right deputy general Si Qinghan coming from the corner on the right.

"General." Si Qinghan lowered his head and called.

"Well, after so many days of traveling, you are also tired, go quickly." Xia Qian's head.

"Yes." Si Qinghan bowed slightly and retreated.

"Xiao Xia, long time no see," a figure rushed over, Si Qinghan, who had left, turned back, stretched out his hand to stop, Xia Qian saw this and immediately shouted: "Stop, Qing Han!" ”

"Oops, it's dangerous." A woman stopped in time, hurriedly hid in Xia Qian's back, pulled her clothes, gasped, pointed to the tip of his nose, and said, "Xiao Xia, who is he?" ”

"Weiwei, don't be rude," Xia Qian turned his head to look at the visitor, a beautiful woman with black hair, holding a delicate beauty hairpin, obliquely inserting a step in the hair, bright teeth, watery eyes turning, a bowl of running is relatively fast, a little sweat beads oozing from the tip of the nose, a touch of blush on the face, such a beauty, it is easy for a man to let go of his heart.

"General......" Si Qinghan clenched his fists, his eyes were calm, and he was very suspicious of the woman who suddenly appeared.

"Qinghan, this is my old friend, Weiwei, don't come out quickly and apologize." Xia Qian blamed, reached out and took off Weiwei's hand holding her clothes, and said with a straight face.

"Yes, the little woman rushed over rashly, how offended, please forgive me." Zhao Weiwei saluted him.

"Where, the last general is abrupt, I don't know that the girl is an old friend of the general, her actions are reckless, and she almost hurt the girl, so what about the girl to apologize?" Si Qinghan took a step back and bowed.

"Okay, it's okay," Xia Qian held his forehead, "It's not too early, Qing Han, don't you still have something to do?" ”

"Uh, yes." Si Qinghan's figure quickly disappeared into the night, leaving Xia Qian and Zhao Weiwei alone.

"Xiao Xia, aren't you from the frontier, why did you come back all of a sudden?"

"Again, who else in this world can let me come back here?" Xia Qian asked self-deprecatingly, she could only unload her heart in front of Weiwei and talk to her about this rebellious thing.

"Could it be Your Majesty?"

"Huh-"

"Looks like I guessed right." Zhao Weiwei smiled bitterly. She met Xia Qian five years ago, at that time, she returned to Beijing in a military uniform and rescued her who was almost stepped on by a horse, at that moment, her heart fell, she missed this person all the time, inquired about a lot of rumors about her, and became more and more in love with this person.

So, one day, she found an excuse to ask the general out, thanked him for saving his life that day, and even had the intention of making a personal promise, but she was refused. What is the reason, the general did not tell, she was unwilling, secretly followed her, and wanted to sneak into the general's mansion again and again, however, she was thrown out again and again, the general was very helpless about what she did, and one night, when she successfully slipped into the courtyard, she saw a person similar to the figure of the general in the bathhouse, under the evil thought, pierced through the paper window, and saw an amazing fact through the faint candlelight.

She almost exclaimed, and at the same time, the general found her, with an angry face, so frightened that she thought she was going to fall to the ground, but she didn't expect that the general wanted her to agree to a reluctant request, one, not to reveal her identity, and two, to cover up the woman who came to her for her. Although she was very disappointed by this truth, she was still a hero in her heart, a person she once admired, and she agreed to this request for five years, missing the marriageable age, and politely rejecting those who came to ask for marriage.

"Xiao Xia, it's better to take this opportunity to make this matter public." Zhao Weiwei thought about it and made a bold suggestion.
