164. 163 Identity Exposed
Although Nalan Jingxue's words were extremely plain, they made a lot of waves in Su Rui's heart.
His eyes were dark, like a bottomless lake, and his gray-blue eyes were as dark as the night sky outside.
"Put away the pity in your eyes." Nalan Jingxue looked at Su Rui and said, "I don't need your pity. โ
Commiseration? Su Rui turned his eyes away in a little panic, he actually showed pity just now? Nalan Jingxue coldly curled the corners of her beautiful mouth, "I don't need anyone's pity, including yours." โ
"I ......" Su Rui lowered his head, a faint feeling of guilt in his heart.
The more time I spent with him, the more I felt that he was a very awkward person, mixed with various personalities and traits, sometimes demonic, sometimes innocent like a child who did not know the pain, sometimes deep, sometimes willful and speechless. Sometimes it's hateful, but it's also heartbreaking.
Su Rui sighed silently and straightened up.
There were still sounds of fighting and wailing in his ears, and Su Rui couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the Emperor of Rouran dead?" Why haven't they withdrawn their troops yet? โ
"Sending troops to attack Dajin was not decided by that mediocre and lustful old man." Nalan Jingxue said slowly, "It was decided by the eldest prince, and now he is the new emperor of Rouran." โ
Rouran's internal affairs have long been in the hands of the eldest prince, otherwise how could she not be bullied by other countries just by knowing that she was only surrounded by beautiful women and handsome men that day.
Su Rui nodded. Since it was the decision of the new emperor, it would be even more difficult to let him retire after he ascended the throne.
He has been planning to invade Dajin for a year or two, probably the assassins who sent him to Hu State to assassinate him are also his arms, if this is the case, then Dajin is afraid that in his eyes has been included in the territory of Rouran.
Su Rui had already roughly guessed why Emperor Rouran died, but the people of Rouran did not search for the murderer in the whole territory with great fanfare. When Su Rui escaped from the Burning Heaven Palace in Rouran, he was paying attention all the way, but he was extremely surprised to find that in addition to the fact that the Praetorian Guards in the palace searched everywhere on the night they assassinated the emperor, it was calm outside, and the death of Emperor Rouran was also said to be an illness rather than an assassination. At the beginning, Su Rui was thinking about escaping, and he didn't think about it so much, but when he calmed down tonight, he thought a lot.
She even glanced deeply at Nalan Jingxue, it should be the eldest prince, the new emperor of Rouran, who silently suppressed the search for Nalan Jingxue. First, the son's thirst for killing his father is a royal scandal, as for why he killed his father, it is a scandal among the scandals, and he can't tell the outside world, and secondly, he is only afraid that Nalan Jingxue will enter the palace to assassinate his father, and the eldest prince may have guessed it. That old Emperor Rouran was already a rotten being, all he had to do was wait for someone to help him remove this rotten rotten meat from the throne, Nalan Jingxue was such a scavenger.
The person Nalan Jingxue wanted to kill was only his father, and it had nothing to do with the new emperor, so the new emperor was also happy to see it, picked up a cheap one for nothing, and ascended the throne a few years earlier.
So Su Rui understood one thing in an instant, that is, there could be no peace talks in this battle.
Either the Daikin army can win a complete victory and will deal a blow to the Rouran people so that they do not dare to go south again, or the Rouran cavalry will drive straight into the land of Daikin and turn the people of Daikin into the slaves of the Rouran people.
Su Rui sighed softly, the wailing in his ears gradually subsided, and he gradually calmed down.
"Sleep." Nalan Jingxue looked at Su Rui's slightly darkened lower eyes and said a little unpleasantly, "It's not so noisy now." โ
Su Rui obediently lay back on his bed, perhaps too tired, Su Rui, who originally thought that he still couldn't sleep, really fell asleep after his head touched the pillow.
Awakened by the earth-shattering cheers, Suri rolled over and sat up, only to find that the person on the other bed in the tent was gone.
Where did he go again? Although Nalan Jingxue entered the military camp, she was always mysterious, disappearing during the day, and would emerge from inexplicable places at night. The military uniform that Suri had brought him was still neatly stacked, and he hadn't touched it at all.
Su Rui's gaze faded a little, and she understood that the reason why Nalan Jingxue was still here was because of herself. Last night, he shot because of himself.
Su Rui was a little stunned, counting. Before she knew it, she seemed to owe him a lot......
Just when Su Rui was a little worried about how to repay his favor in the future, she heard a sound of footsteps walking towards her camp, Su Rui hurriedly jumped up, and was just about to tidy up her appearance, but it was too late.
The curtain of the tent was lifted from the outside, and several soldiers poked their heads into the tent.
"Xiao Rui! I heard that you discovered the spy yesterday, and you have made a great contribution. Marshal, he must ...... today" Before they could finish their sentences, they were stunned by the people inside the tent.
In the morning light, a stunning woman dressed in a soldier's uniform stood by the bed in a panic, she should have just gotten up, her face was still with a faint warm color, her face was even more ruddy, her eyes were full of panic, with a pitiful Chu Chu color. Her hair was scattered behind her like a waterfall, and although she was wearing the most ordinary soldier's clothes, she could not hide her bright and noble temperament, on the contrary, with a vigorous heroic spirit, making her whole person like a luminous body that could not be ignored. No matter how blind her eyes are, she can see that Suri is a woman!
It's over!!! Su Rui groaned in the bottom of his heart, he didn't put on makeup to hide his face.
"Are you...... Woman! Xiao Rui? You're a woman? Among the stunned soldiers, one finally came to his senses and broke out in exclamation.
"Xiao Rui! Your face isn't that sallow yellow? โ
"I'll just say, what man would be as delicate as you."
"So you're so beautiful, huh? It turns out that sick and crooked face is your disguise. โ
The awakened soldiers chattered, and they curiously poured into the camp tent, surrounding Suri who was so panicked that there was nothing to add.
Some people even raised their hands curiously to stroke Su Rui's long hair, and the silky touch made people want to stop. Suri was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground, and she wanted to regain her hair, but she was grabbed by someone instead.
"I'll just say, what man has such slender wrists like you!" The soldier holding her wrist marveled at Suri's beauty and muttered.
It's not that they haven't seen a woman, but they haven't seen a woman as beautiful as Su Rui, plus the previous rumors about Su Rui and Jun Rushuang, which makes them even more curious.
Su Rui has always appeared in front of them in the form of a man, although he is silent, but he has gradually been accepted by them, and today he has suddenly become a woman, how can they not be surprised and not come to investigate.
For a while, some people dragged her hair, some people dragged her wrists to look at her skin, and some people wanted to take advantage of the chaos to touch her face, wanting to see if it was anything smeared, and why the face was so good. Suri resisted with all hands and feet, and the wolf bรจi was going to die.
"Let her go!" A cold cry came from the door, causing the soldiers who surrounded Suri to tremble in their hearts.
"Mr. Huangfu." After they saw the people standing at the door clearly, they all showed weak expressions and hurriedly stood upright.
Huangfu Rulong walked in with a frosty face, "You are all veterans who have followed the marshal for many years, but you know what a crime it is to be a woman from a thin and good family!" โ
The soldiers looked at each other a few times, and one soldier distinguished, "We don't have a thin Xiaorui, it's just that she's a woman!" We were curious. โ
"Yes, yes. Mr. Huangfu, we are not disrespectful to Xiao Rui. โ
"Why don't you tell us the truth? It makes us think that Xiao Rui is that kind of ......"
"Enough!" Huangfu Rulong scolded, and suddenly the tent fell silent, "You all go out!" Don't talk nonsense! Go to the marshal yourself and confess your guilt! โ
"Yes." The soldiers stood up in response, and then rushed out, and they reluctantly glanced at Suri a few more times.
After those people went out, Su Rui breathed a sigh of relief, "They didn't actually do anything to me. They were just curious. Su Rui hurriedly explained, "I won't punish them very harshly." "People are good or bad, Su Rui can tell the difference, they see that there is no evil thought in their eyes, only curiosity and amazement, Su Rui understands, so she said in a hurry.
"Hmph." Huangfu Rulong snorted coldly, he didn't have a good face for Su Rui, and now his face is even worse, "When you came here on the first day, you should have expected that there would be today!" No women are allowed in the barracks, you know! โ
Su Rui's eyes faded, she lowered her head slightly, and answered, "Yes." โ
"Now that your identity has been revealed, you may not be able to stay here any longer." Huangfu Rulong said coldly, "Come with me to see the marshal." โ
"Oh." Su Rui could only follow behind Huangfu Rulong aggrievedly, and sighed in his heart, how did Mulan manage to be a woman in the military camp for ten years without being discovered! I'm really not the material to do big things.
Su Rui followed behind Huangfu Rulong all the way towards Jun Rushuang's camp, and all the soldiers on the road stopped to watch her in surprise.
Suri's heart was dead.
Jun Rushuang also stayed up all night, just after a victory, all the generals in the military camp gathered in his tent, and discussed the victory last night.
Su Rui saw that the soldiers who had broken into her tent in the morning were standing outside Jun Rushuang's tent, and when they saw Su Rui coming, they smiled kindly at Su Rui one by one.
Although Su Rui was uneasy and bitter in his heart, he still tried to squeeze out a smile at them.
"Call her in." The voice of Jun Rushuang came from the tent, and Huangfu Rulong opened the curtain of the tent and let Su Rui in. Su Rui obviously didn't expect that there were so many people in the camp, and she was stunned, until Huangfu Rulong pushed her, she suddenly woke up and stepped in.
"See the marshals and generals." Suri clasped his fists and saluted.
"This ......"
"Woman?"
"When did we get women in the camp?"
"Is it a spy?"
At first sight of Su Rui, everyone was stunned, and then the generals present whispered.
Jun Rushuang rubbed his slightly swollen eyebrows, and he sighed, "Everyone, this is a friend of Ben Shuai." Emperor Fu Rulong came in and whispered a few words to him, and he knew that Su Rui's identity could no longer be hidden. In the flash of lightning, his mind raced, and the moment Su Rui came in, he had already made up a set of rhetoric.
Suri had to keep it, it was the only thought in his head.
He couldn't say why he had to keep Suri by his side, but he knew that if he couldn't keep Suri this time, he might miss her again.
So no matter what, he had to keep Suri by his side, even if it was a violation of military orders.
Jun Rushuang stood up, "It was Ben Shuai who left her in the barracks." Jun Rushuang walked slowly in front of Su Rui, "Please don't embarrass her, it was she who had insight into the conspiracy of the Rouran people last night and notified Ben Shuai in advance, so you will have the victory last night." โ
"She's the Rouran spy we caught that day!" The person who remembered that Su Rui was brought into the barracks that day suddenly asked.
"Yes. She escaped from Rouran. Jun Rushuang nodded. Anyway, no matter what others ask, he just bears it.
The generals, who originally had a lot of opinions about Su Rui pretending to be a soldier in the barracks, couldn't say anything now because Su Rui had done a great job last night.
However, there are generals who are dissatisfied with Jun Rushuang, and they look at Jun Rushuang with a little gloating.
Jun Rushuang has always been upright and has led the army well, but it doesn't mean that no one is jealous and disgusted with him. Some people have even begun to think about how to write an excerpt of 800 miles, and send it back to the capital in an expedited manner.
But this little girl is really beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful and gorgeous woman, she is a contradiction, soft and pure and charming. But her temperament is noble and elegant, and there is no trace of dust at all, which is not allowed to be blasphemed.
"This little girl is so kind-looking. Seems to have seen it somewhere? Among the generals, a white-bearded old general looked at Su Rui and frowned in thought.
Jun Rushuang and Su Rui were shocked in their hearts, they glanced at each other, they expected that the old general had been in the court for a long time, and he should have seen Princess Su Rui who had not been disfigured.
Su Rui's appearance already has the grace of her mother, and the old general has not actually seen Su Rui himself, but he has seen the former queen. That's why he was full of suspicions, Su Rui really looked like the former queen, only younger and brighter.
Su Rui's heart is like fifteen buckets of water. She's supposed to be a dead person, what if she gets recognized here!
She didn't even think about how to go back to face her father.
It was he who single-handedly facilitated this marriage called Su Rui's liver and intestines, a former queen of Hu who was nominally dead, and suddenly returned to Dajin alive, what does her father think?
Su Rui was an orphan in the first half of his life, but in this half of his life, he was carefully cared for by Emperor Dajin, and he really regarded him as his father. His concealment of Sikong Jin being lame also made Su Rui feel cold, which was one of the reasons why Su Rui was reluctant to return to the Golden Palace.
"The old general may have seen this friend of Ben Shuai in the capital." Jun Rushuang said with sloppy eyes, "Even if you count her, she is also a distant cousin of Ben Shuai." โ
"Oh." The old general thought for a long time and didn't remember who Su Rui was like, so he didn't think about the former queen at all, besides, the former queen had been immortal for many years, and his memory of her was already very vague. Hearing Jun Rushuang say this, he was also relieved, he was a world friend with the Jun family, maybe he had seen this woman in the Jun family. But he looks so good, there's no reason he wouldn't remember. The old general began to struggle again.
Su Rui looked at Jun Rushuang with embarrassment, it was really a modern person who made up for his classmates. The ancients took their cousins to make up ...... The cousin is really a magical storage zร i.
"How could the marshal's cousin end up in Rouran?" Someone asked.
Jun Rushuang said without changing his face, "My cousin followed my uncle to the border to do business, and it happened that he was serving in the war, and my cousin bought off the magistrate of Rouran in order not to humiliate my cousin, and let my cousin escape with him as a man, but he himself died of illness on the way to escape, and it happened that she heard that Ben Shuai had come to Tianmen Pass, so she came to Ben Shuai." Ben Shuai saw that his cousin was lonely, and when he relented, he agreed to let his cousin stay in the barracks. โ
Su Rui's eyes widened, and in an instant, his understanding of Jun Rushuang was raised to a new level.
Terrible! Little Hou Ye doesn't need to make a draft when he lies! This remark is reasonable, the time, place, and character plots are all right, even if someone wants to check, now that the army is in chaos, where to check?
Those skeptical generals were also relieved when they heard Jun Rushuang say this. There are even some people who have a little pity and pity for Su Rui, such a beautiful little girl, must have suffered a lot to escape from the clutches of the Rouran people.
"Ben Shuai affirmed everyone, let Ben Shuai's cousin stay in the barracks for a while. When Ben Shuai finds a place to settle, he will send his cousin away. Jun Rushuang continued.
"The marshal is serious." One of the generals in the camp said. "Since the young lady has suffered so much, she will live in the barracks first. It's a big deal, we're all going to give orders. It is not allowed to go to the residence of the young lady who harasses her, and it will be punished as a violation of military discipline if she violates the order. I don't think it will disturb the young lady, and it won't cause any confusion. โ
"What General Yan said is very true." Other celebrities nodded in agreement.
Jun Rushuang and Su Rui both exhaled in their hearts, and the two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw the joyful gaze in each other's eyes.
Jun Rushuang is even warmer in the bottom of my heart.
"It's just that Ben Shuai did violate military discipline. The commander automatically asked for a fine of 50 military sticks to set an example. After Jun Rushuang's heart fell to the ground, he continued.
Suri's eyelids jumped, "You're going to be beaten?" She asked. Is it because you took me in? โ
"It's fine." Jun Rushuang smiled softly at Su Rui, patted her shoulder, and soothed, "It has nothing to do with you." โ
How could it have nothing to do with me, Su Rui was just a little happy, and instantly became depressed again.
"Marshal, still focus on the overall situation." The general Yan clenched his fists and said, "Our current situation is not optimistic, the fifty army sticks are not trivial, if the marshal is injured, it will shake the morale of the army." โ
"That's right. The marshal could have written this down for the time being. โ
The other generals were also persuasive.
"Everyone's kindness, Ben Shuai understands it. But a violation of discipline is a violation of discipline. Fifty military sticks have already been dealt with lightly. Jun Rushuang smiled gently. Rest assured, Ben Shuai can still stand it. โ
"Nope." Suri suddenly shouted loudly. Her cry drew the eyes of all the people in the tent to her.
"Cousin, don't mess around." Jun Rushuang frowned and said.
"I'm not messing around." Su Rui looked around and said slowly, "Generals, although the marshal violated military discipline, I remember that military merits can be used to offset mistakes in the army. The marshal's violation of military discipline was caused by me, and if I can make a great contribution, can I cancel out these fifty military sticks? โ
"Yes, you can." Originally, everyone didn't want Jun Rushuang to be punished, except for the few generals who were originally stationed at Tianmen Pass, they were not members of the Jun family's army, Jun Rushuang removed their command as soon as he came, and they had already had a grudge against Jun Rushuang in their hearts. But under the watchful eye of everyone, they couldn't say anything, so they could only nod with the crowd.
"That's good." Su Rui smiled with a relieved smile, "Then generals, the little girl hereby swears that she will do her best to help you expel the Rouran people from my Dajin country, and return my Dajin people to be too safe and peaceful!" In order to offset the fault of the marshal. โ
"Good!" Everyone burst into thunderous applause, although Suri is a woman, she has this determination and confidence, why don't you make these men applaud.
"Dare to ask Miss, what can you do to help us?" A cool voice came slowly, and Su Rui stared at it, and it turned out to be the emperor with a cold face who had been standing by and watching.
