After Cheng Shinan decided to make me the general of the Western Realm, there was some opposition among the courtiers.

Since ancient times, women have been generals, which sounds ridiculous, and besides, this can easily become a reason for other countries to invade.

However, Cheng Luan and Cheng Yu supported me, and when Cheng Shinan saw this, he issued an edict to select capable people in the courtiers' prince's mansion to be my deputy general.

When many courtiers heard that their own people also had the opportunity to go to the west, there were only a few voices of opposition.

According to Yuan Qing, Cheng Hao saw him in the study that day, and Bai Muyan was also there.

They encouraged the young people to participate in the selection.

Yuan Qing was panicked, he had never had experience in dispatching troops, and in recent years, he had followed Bai Muyan everywhere, and he had no time to study the military book again, and he didn't know much about the national strength of Li and neighboring countries.

Cheng Hao chuckled and said, "It's okay, if you can beat it, you can fight it, and if you can't beat it, you can hide." If you are tested in the art of war, you can just deal with it randomly. ”

Yuan Qing thought that Cheng Hao was just asking him to fill up.

After all, Cheng Luan and Cheng Yu and the National Teacher's Mansion all went there, and if his Ningyuan Palace's Mansion failed, it would seem that he didn't attach importance to the life of the lord.

It was easy to go into battle.

"Then you must be the best in everything?"

I was apprehensive, but I was also proud, and I led the horse and talked to him as I went.

Yuan Qing scratched his head and raised his eyebrows, looking a little strange.

"Could it be that you lost?" As soon as I was excited, I paused.

"Lose, it's not true, it's just ......"

Yuan Qing stammered and stopped.

"Yuchen is presumptuous," Gu Yuchen, who had not heard words for a long time, suddenly said slowly on the side, "Brother Yuanqing must not have won the first place in everything, but he did not lose too badly. ”

Yuan Qing looked relieved and nodded hurriedly.

"And what project did you win?" I asked, deflated.

"Archery, naturally." Yuan Qing Road.

Come to think of it, he used to be a secret guard, and Cheng Hao picked him because he also liked his superb archery skills, and with a few years of practice, he was better than the guards who didn't have to fight in the field all day long in Kyoto.

"What else? The art of war, swordsmanship, hand-to-hand combat, which is also the first place? ”

"Not really."

Yuan Qing said a little frustrated.

I was full of surprise, and my heart was entangled, thinking about how to comfort Yuan Qing, and thinking about why Cheng Shinan chose a person who could only shoot arrows to be the deputy general of the Western Realm, but for a while he was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to say with his mouth open.

"Yuchen is not talented, dare to guess the meaning of the lord of the country," Gu Yuchen smiled lightly, his eyebrows were full of warm spring breeze, "I don't want to let the power be too concentrated in one place." ”

What did I not know about what he said?

The people who participated in the selection this time must be the guards in the prince's and important ministers' mansions, and among these people, they either hold the military power in their hands, or they cover the sky in the court with one hand, only Cheng Hao, the military power has been withdrawn.

Moreover, Yuan Qing had just returned to the Li State, and there were no courtiers who were familiar with him in the court, so he was not afraid that he would form a party for personal gain and seek benefits for himself.

Since ancient times, emperors have always been thinking about how to keep their thrones.

It's just that if a woman is sent to guard the border with a young man who is not yet proficient in the art of war and has not yet reached the weak crown, will he be able to sit in a secure position?

Or is there something else hidden in this?

That Han Jiang fled, and there is no whereabouts so far, and I don't know whose hands he fell into.

"Yuan Qing!" I called softly.

"Sister, I'm here."

Seeing that I was silent in thought, Yuan Qing seemed to know that this time was not trivial, so he stopped laughing.

"From tomorrow to the west, there are five days, you can go to Ningyuan Palace, read the military book, and practice the method of arranging troops."

It's temporary, but it's a moment.

It's better than my sister and brother dying before they could struggle!

"Sister, don't worry, since that selection, the prince has been teaching me the art of war, and he has brought me a lot of weapons for self-defense."

Yuan Qing Road.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Cheng Hao is teaching him, and I am relieved that Cheng Hao will teach him personally.

"Sister, the prince said, the arrangement of troops is changed with the terrain and celestial phenomena, there is no fixed law, no shape, otherwise it is very easy to be found flawed, let me not memorize the formation, but to study more soldiers' mental methods, if you can ignite the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and then with the assistance of ingenious military techniques, then you can be invincible!"

Yuan Qing gushed endlessly, and my heart suddenly relaxed, and I reached out and patted his head.

"You're a quick learner."

"That's nature, the prince said, I am much more perceptive than you were back then, and I am a manufacturable material!"

I couldn't help but sneer: "You are a prince, do you still have a sister in your eyes!" ”

"Sister, no wonder the prince said you were stingy!" He suddenly leaned over, I couldn't help but be stunned, and listened to what he said, "You even eat the prince's vinegar now......"

I reached out to hit him, but he jumped away and couldn't stop laughing.

I shook my head helplessly.

is happy in his heart, it seems that Yuan Qing has been in a good mood recently, and he is not worried about Cheng Hao and Bai Muyan.

I was worried about it before.

Looking at Cui Han again, she also looked at the two of us, and smiled and bent her eyes.

Gu Yuchen was still smiling lightly, his white clothes were fluttering, and he was as warm as ever.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the post house.

Yuan Qing went to help us tie our horses, so he told the store to take us to the guest room he had already booked.

He tied his horse and went back to Ningyuan Palace.

It's just that Yuan Qing didn't know that Gu Yuchen would come before, so he only booked two rooms.

The shopkeeper came over with a smile while wiping his hands on a towel and said, "Three of you go this way." The master specially asked the little one to leave two adjoining upper rooms for the three of them. ”

He glanced at me with a smile, his eyes swept over Gu Yuchen, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that you and your husband live in one room," and then looked at Cui Han, "This girl lives in one room......"

My eyes widened suddenly, but before I could answer, Cuihan scolded crisply:

"What nonsense are you talking about? See clearly, who is husband and wife with whom! ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly lowered his head and turned around and left.

But listen to him muttering, "I'm out of sight? Impossible," he glanced back at Cui Han quietly, "this girl—and that son—sizzle, impossible......"

Seeing that Cuihan almost wanted to hit him, the shopkeeper didn't dare to stay anymore, and disappeared as soon as he slipped away.

Cuihan blushed angrily, intending to chase after her to defend herself, but I hurriedly grabbed her, smiled and shook my head.

Gu Yuchen only stood leisurely from beginning to end, with a smile on the corner of his lips, and at this time Fang arched his hand and said:

"Miss Cuihan is not angry, Yuchen will go and book an extra room."

After speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but I hurriedly called out to him: "Gu Gongzi doesn't need to, I live in one room with Cuihan." ”

Gu Yuchen stood on his feet and swept his clear gaze towards Cuihan.

Cui Han also knew that he had just gone too far, so he slowly bent down and saluted, and then went into the room to clean up.

I also saluted Gu Yuchen and turned around to step into the door.

suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned around and called Gu Yuchen.

"Gu Gongzi, go to see the lord tomorrow, what do you have to say?"

According to the custom, I should go to the palace tomorrow, and the lord of the kingdom will personally give the general a jade plaque with me, and then I will go to the royal guard to select my own soldiers.

Gu Yuchen chuckled lightly first, and said, "Is Jin Se testing Yuchen's divination ability?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Just take it as such." ”

Gu Yuchen stood with his hands in his hands for a moment, and said with a smile: "Jin Se knows, what is a woman's most powerful weapon?" ”

I was puzzled, and just looked at him blankly.

Gu Yuchen saw that I was silent, and lowered his head and smiled lightly: "Women are weak, but Jin Se knows that in order to control the most rigid things in this world, it is necessary to use the softest method." ”

"The method of softness, Gu Gongzi said...... "I'm a little incredulous."

"That's right." Gu Yuchen said calmly.

"However, this time I am the Great General of the Western Realm! How can you ......?"

Gu Yuchen won't fool me if he thinks about it, but this method is really ......

"Jin Se is a general of the Western Realm, but she is also a woman." Gu Yuchen said with a smile.

I stood quietly.

I remembered that when I was in the Western Frontier before, I was on the high platform of the training ground, smiling and deciding......

Listening to Gu Yuchen's meaning, it is unknown if there will be any unspeakable changes tomorrow.

……

Lying on the couch with Cuihan, I asked leisurely, "Cuihan, what do you think is our most powerful weapon as a woman?" ”

Cui Han was already sleepy at this time, and replied vaguely: "Woman's most powerful weapon, don't you have it, girl?" ”

"What is it?" I wondered.

"Beautiful...... Cuihan's snort sounded softly, already asleep.

Really? I couldn't help but reach out and touch my face.

Beauty is easy to get, but the face is easy to age, this weapon is too unreliable.

……

The next day, I once again stood in front of the heavy gate of the Palace of the Loei King.

The difference is that this time, the Qingluan sedan chair greeted each other, and the people of the Huafu Palace were connected.

Raising the eyes is a canopy, with colorful sleeves fluttering.

"General Jinse of the Western Realm has arrived-" The palace people in front shouted all the way, and the palace people passing by on both sides hurriedly retreated to the side and bowed respectfully.

"Girl," Cui Han whispered beside the sedan chair, "this battle is also a little bigger!" ”

I sneered in my heart, Cheng Shinan really did enough superficial work and gave me enough face in front of the world.

It's just that the more solemn he is at this time, the more he shows that there will be something waiting to make things difficult for me in the future.

Stepping into the Ming Xuan Palace, he found that the courtiers had been solemnly separated on both sides.

There was silence in the hall.

Cheng Shinan is sitting upright on the hall, his eyebrows are majestic.

"Jin Se has seen the lord of the country! May the Lord of the Kingdom be well-off! ”

I wore the armor that Cheng Luan gave me and saluted respectfully.

"Hurry up, please!"

Cheng Shinan waved his hand.

The moment I got up, my eyes swept over the hall, and today's important ministers in the court can be regarded as arriving.

It's just that among the princes, except for Cheng Hao, it is reasonable that the third and fourth princes do not participate in political affairs, and everyone knows that Cheng Luan is not present today.

At the place where the prince stood in front, only King Yu stood solemnly with his hands down.

That's a strange thing.

"The fortune of the heavens, the grace of the lord of the country: Jin Se, the right general of the western border, is good at riding and shooting, attacking the art of war, and making miraculous feats, protecting the peace of my border and the health of my people.

I will give the general half a jade medal, and I am willing to practice diligently, live up to the grace of the country, and encourage you! ”

National Teacher Liu Yanqing's voice was hoarse and high-pitched, and his voice echoed in the Ming Xuan Palace.

I was stunned.

What is it called - half a jade medal of the general?

The courtiers below were also stunned.

Qi Qi looked at the top of the main hall in confusion.

After Liu Yanqing finished reading the edict, he retreated to the corner and stood quietly, like a wooden stake that no one noticed.
