Chapter 15: Wrong, Wrong, Right, Right

After two hours of stalemate, a senior general finally came out of the first battleship with a white flag and a major general with Chu Ming and Shangguan. Kneeling on one knee to meet Her Royal Highness the princess, the defeated general, just ask the soldiers to be safe and not die.

I told the soldiers to say to the general on the big ship, shout, the princess said, as long as you surrender and hand over the soldiers who have been captured by you, you will not die.

The general knelt on the deck of the hundred-meter ship and said, Her Royal Highness Princess Xie.

All the Junru people surrendered without a fight, and Chu Ming and the general were also released. I'm bringing all the people who have laid down their arms ashore and putting them all together in one place. The boat was also taken care of, and after confirming that there was no one in Lethe River again. It made people open the gate and release the water, and slowly the Lechuan water was also released.

In the evening, I held a banquet in the General Army's Mansion to receive the old general Shangguan, who was a very dignified old general who was loyal to the Moon Kingdom all his life. I'm a little nervous to change clothes for a long time, I don't know what to wear, this time I didn't bring women's clothes are light men's clothes, only wear and the gray robe that I wore when I was out of Wujicheng, my hair was not tied up or I wanted to get closer to Yue Fuyuan, why didn't I come and walk around the hall nervously.

The princess general is coming, and I think I have to go out to greet him, and walk through the courtyard to the door. For the first time, I saw the old general Shangguan, with a red face, half-white hair, and almost fifty years old. Tiger's back. Wearing an ordinary brown robe, Chu Ming stood together, Chu Ming was just a simple black beard suit.

The old minister thanked Her Royal Highness the Princess. Shangguan Chuming met Her Royal Highness the princess, the princess Chitose Chitose Chitose.

I'll pick them up at once, and I'll not dare accept your gift. Come on in.

The old general said, Your Royal Highness Princess, you should be worshiped by our father and son.

The old general served the country and the people, guarded the West Sea, and worked hard. My little girl didn't dare to accept the old general's gift. According to the row, the old general sat on the upper seat, and Chu Ming and I sat in the middle of the hall, a few feet in front of the left and right. In this way, there is just a distance of three or four meters from Chu Ming.

I, the dish is here, you can taste this hometown dish made by the imperial chef in the palace, how about the old general quickly taste the taste?

Old general. Her Royal Highness Princess Xie. The old minister has a sentence that he wants to ask Her Royal Highness the princess.

I put down my chopsticks and said, "General, excuse me."

Blocking the water of Lethe, did the princess come up with this idea?

I glanced at Chu Ming on the other side, and Chu Ming also stopped what he was doing and looked at us.

My firm answer is something I came up with.

A trace flashed in Chu Ming's eyes, he didn't know what it was, he didn't say anything, and then continued to eat.

The old general, after asking this sentence, didn't say a word, just cared about eating. We had an embarrassing meal, and Chu Ming didn't say a word.

Finished eating. The old general said, Her Royal Highness Princess Xie, be hospitable, and the old minister has taken his leave.

I said, you're welcome, I'm afraid the meal just now is not to the taste.

Where is the princess, the princess personally received our father and son for dinner. It has already flattered our father and son, and our father and son have disturbed us, so please stay and rest early. He bowed again, then turned and walked away.

Look at the two of them as they are about to walk to the door. I glanced at Chu Ming, Chu Ming, don't leave yet, I want to talk to you.

The old general turned around and said that it was not early for the princess. If there's anything to do, I'll talk about it tomorrow.

I thought to myself, what the hell am I doing wrong, and the more I think about it, the more upset I become. At night, I took advantage of the full moon alone and left the Qianchuan General Military Mansion with a lantern. Walking on Qianchuan Cheng Street, every house lights candles and looks through the dim yellow candlelight. The streets were littered with mud and water, and there was a faint smell of dirt. There are also people who have been affected by the flood, and they are sweeping the mud and sand and some water from their houses outside. Fortunately, it was summer, otherwise they would have no firewood, and everything in the house would be wet. I'm going to freeze to death.

Walking and listening, there are children sitting on chairs at the door crying, and old people sighing. Some people say that this princess is really a monster. He actually let the water of Lechuan flow backwards, causing the people on both sides of our strait to suffer.

Walking to the street, I saw a figure, limping on crutches, and walked in to see who Mo Xuan was.

Mo Xuan, why are you here?

Mo Xuan said, the princess ...... How are you alone here

Mo Xuan's princess, everyone knows that I am a princess. Men and women on both sides of the street looked over. Ahh......h I don't know where I threw a dirt ball. It hit me right in the shoulder. Then everybody took something and threw it over. Mo Xuan suddenly blocked my back in front of me and said, don't go quickly.

I ran back along the way back, unable to see the road clearly, so I could only rush forward and bump into someone's arms at once. My face hurt when I hit it, and I covered my face with my hands, I wasn't a princess. I'm not a princess, don't hit me.

Is it a princess? The man was on his feet, and I straightened it to face him.

I will never forget his voice for the rest of my life, Chu Ming. I immediately took Chu Ming's arm and said, go and save Mo Xuan. To the fore.

Chu Ming and I ran into the crowd, and Chu Ming's men separated. Mo Xuan had already fallen to the ground, covered in mud from being beaten. I'll help him up and find his crutch and stand up for him, Mo Xuan, are you okay?

Mo Xuan's eyes were swollen and he said, how could the princess have such a criminal person dare to do something to the princess. Looking at Mo Xuan's dirty face, I took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him, and the corners of Mo Xuan's mouth were full of blood.

I'm really angry, I don't allow anyone to bully me. I said to everyone, I am the princess, and I did it this time to block the water of Lethe. I heard everyone's angry voices, I couldn't see everyone's faces clearly, I thought that everyone must want to eat me alive, and everyone was taboo about Chu Ming and his soldiers, and no one dared to come forward and beat me.

I went on to say, I don't want to hurt you, I just don't want to kill more people. No matter what country it is, they are all human beings, and they are all raised by their mother's biological parents. They also have parents, wives and children. Now just cutting off the water of Lethe River can make the Junru people surrender without a fight. Even if I was given a chance, I would have done it.

Some of the people said in it, "Why did you sacrifice our homes and fields in order to win the war?" I don't know who said it in the middle, and then everyone agreed, yes, yes...... I heard that you are a madman, and it seems that it is true, and many people have suddenly called out, return my homeland...... The princess returned my home......

Chu Ming was in front of me, almost roaring, you all stopped with me...... The people around were a little quieter. I am the general of the soldiers and horses on this expedition. This has nothing to do with the princess. Even the generals and princesses can't destroy my home at will. That's it, that's it...... I don't know who threw a ball of mud and was about to hit me in the face. Chu Ming pulled out the long sword in his hand and bounced the mud ball away.

Just now, between the lightning and flint, everyone, including me, didn't see clearly how Chu Ming drew his sword, and everyone on the lookers took a few steps back in fright.

Chu Ming held the long sword high, and the moonlight hit the long sword, glowing coldly. Chu Ming said word by word,

I know that I am bullying the weak here, and you fought when the army of the Junru Kingdom came. Fight for your homeland. It's just sacrificing a little bit of your interests, if the mainlanders really attack, do you think your homeland can still be saved?

Chu Ming looked at the people around him angrily, and the people around him lowered their heads. Chu Ming continued. How much property damage does your family have, I will go back to the palace and report to the empress to compensate for your losses. If you dare to treat the princess so recklessly, you will have your own royal law to deal with you.

Then a few people said that we didn't want anything, and all of them said in unison, "Princess, we know that we are wrong." Don't go to the princess to see us like us......

Listening to the sound, it seems that the whole street of people has come out, because it is night, I can't see clearly, and I only see people in Wuyang and Wuyang.

I said, you shouldn't apologize to me, you should apologize to him. I'll pull Mo Xuan out. The guys who beat people were immediately pushed out by everyone. It's just a few well-dressed gangsters, who were inexplicably pushed out and were a little angry, but we looked at them with all their eyes on themselves, and the three of them immediately knelt on the ground and said, I'm sorry that we deserve to die, the princess spares her life......

Mo Xuan said to me, forget it, it will be no good to meet you.

I turned my head to those people and said, I will definitely go back to the palace and report to the empress to compensate you for your losses. Okay, forget it. The people around them slowly dispersed.

We also went back to the Qianchuan General Military Mansion to give Mo Xuan medicine. How could you come here alone?

Pain, light, I just happened to run into you.

I smiled and gave him the medicine. I saw Chu Ming standing on the side, looking at me. I asked, why do you happen to be on the street?

Chu Ming said that when I left, the princess didn't have anything to discuss with me. I came to you after I had sent my father back to my house, but when I saw that you were not there, I asked the guard at the gate, and the guard said that you had gone to the street alone. I was afraid that you were in danger, so I came to the street to look for you, but I didn't expect to bump into you. By the way, the princess has something to say to me.

I laughed and said, I forgot. Put the medicine away and put it in the medicine box.

Chu Ming came over and pulled Mo Xuan, it was not too early, I went to sleep with the Mo Xuan brothers, and it was not convenient to live in this courtyard with the princess.

Mo Xuan didn't say anything, and was taken away by Chu Ming.

I slept in bed alone at night, thinking that today was really thrilling, and thinking that the old general Shangguan heard it at dinner. I said I had the idea on my own, and his attitude changed. Think about him, how could he like a femme fatale like me to be his daughter-in-law?

Tossing and turning, unable to sleep, got up, lit a candle, sat at the table, and wrote a book. Tell someone to send it back to the empress first. I told you how to win the battle, and how the farmland of the homes on both sides of the Lethe River was washed away. As for whether it was really to win the battle, only I know.

Also proposed by the way. All the captives of the Confucian Kingdom will be sent to the east to build Leicheng. This not only solves the problem of a small number of people in Leicheng and insufficient labor, but also prevents the large number of prisoners in the Confucian Kingdom. Lei Cheng wants to go back to his country in the east, and he has to travel through the country of half a moon to reach the west coast. This will not require us to send more people to watch the captives, and it will save us a lot of troops. It's a good thing to kill three birds with one stone. He also pleaded with the empress to open the treasury to relieve the victims, and said that the water of Lechuan washed the houses, fields, and crops of tens of thousands of people.
