Chapter 202: Plan Before You Act (2)
Xiao Wumian's eyes were full of questions. But Shen Wan laughed extremely sadly.
Why won't they come back to him? She smiled and said slowly: "He said that he killed so many people for me, I believe in him, and I shouldn't hate him." However, I also killed so many people, not for him, but for myself, for revenge! In the end, even his own mother died at my hands......"
Xiao Wumian gasped, looked at her in a daze, she smiled bitterly, and said, "Queen Mother, she did kill my aunt and kill everyone my sister left me." Although my aunt and sister are not related, after all, I grew up watching me. It was my parents who gave birth to me, and it was my parents who raised me. So...... They are all my relatives, and in order to take revenge, I killed the Queen Mother and killed the mother who cherished the dust. ”
"What about him?"
"I don't know, maybe I don't, right? If he knew that I was the murderer of his mother, would he still love me? I don't think so. ”
It was a long silence, the night breeze in March was still cold, and some flowers and trees were planted on all sides of the flower hall, and there was a faint fragrance coming from. With torch-like palace lamps burning on all sides, Shen Wan wrapped her cloak tightly, leaned back on her chair, and looked up at the dark sky.
On the horizon, a cold moon is like frost.
Before Yuehua touched the storefront, it was obscured by the shining palace lamp.
On the top of the boxy flower hall, only a small piece of sky can be seen, and the four corners are carved balustrades, as if the moon is locked. From time to time, a shallow thin cloud drifted in, covering the moon, hazy, as if shrouded in a veil.
The moonlight is not as good as the flower hall, only the palace lights will shine on the flowers and trees on all sides. March fragrant, vaguely the fragrance of pear blossoms and apricot blossoms. Originally, a few willow trees were planted here, but because of Shen Wan's words, those willow trees were removed.
Shen Wan didn't like willow trees, saying that their yin qi was too heavy. Xiao Wumian sympathized with her and thought a lot during pregnancy, and did what she said.
It's just a few willow trees, which can naturally be written at will, but now they are facing the foundation of the country!
Xiao Wumian broke the silence and said, "Since this is the case, then when I go to the court tomorrow, I will inform you and let the military department prepare to train the soldiers." I think we have at least three months left to prepare for the enemy. ”
Shen Wan nodded along with his meaning: "Three months is not a long time, and it is not too short. ”
Xiao Wumian asked again as if he was sure: "Has Your Highness really decided to pour all the country's troops to resist the sailors of the Northern Kingdom?" ”
Shen Wan closed her eyes and was silent, and Xiao Wumian comforted: "Actually, the Northern Water Division is not strong, but there are only tens of thousands of people. Coupled with the fact that they have only started training now, the northerners have never been familiar with water, and it is unknown who will win and who will lose. ”
He said to himself, and Shen Wan suddenly spoke: "If the northern country wades into the river, I will lead the people in the city, the ministers of the court, carry all the treasures, and return to the northern country." ”
Xiao Wumian was stunned, his voice trembled, and he exclaimed, "Your Highness! ”
Shen Wan opened her eyes, smiled at him, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm just asking you to spread the news, as for whether it's true or not, that's another matter." ”
Xiao Wumian was puzzled: "What does Your Highness mean?" ”
Shen Wan smiled, and said with a straight face: "It doesn't matter if others don't know this news, but there is one person who must know." ”
"Who?"
"Ye Cangqiong!"
Once Ye Cangqiong knew the news, would he still sit idly by?
He also saw Chu Xichen's friendship with Shen Wan, if Shen Wan also had no affection for Chu Xichen, then it was not impossible to lead the south to submit to the north.
When the time comes, will he still have time to be busy attacking the northern kingdom? He will surely prevent the southern kingdom from submitting to the northern kingdom, then...... Ascend to the lands of the South before the Northern Marines land and stop the most feared outcome from happening!
After this news spreads, no matter whether the north will go to war with the south or not, the west will definitely do it!
Chu Xichen, you killed the Shen family for a promise and me, I shouldn't blame you. But if I kill your mother, how can you let me enjoy your love with peace of mind?
Therefore, we are doomed to never go back to the way it used to be.
Three days later, Xiao Wumian brought news, and as expected, Xiguo also began to train the water master.
"Then, let's start preparing for war!" Shen Wan said this lightly.
Xiao Wumian took the order and left, and the War of the Three Kingdoms was about to break out!
In April, Xiao Wumian took Shen Wan to the riverside to inspect the troops.
Shen Wan was wearing a golden embroidered bird and phoenix robe, with a goose-yellow peony skirt embroidered on the chest, a golden dragon belt tied around her waist, and her feet were embroidered with auspicious clouds.
She was two and a half months pregnant at this time, and her lower abdomen was not obvious, so in order to make herself comfortable, she only wore a gold crown on her head, without other modifications.
But it is precisely this kind of dress that makes her look more and more like an empress.
On the gray river, there is no end in sight, and dozens of large ships and countless small boats are lined up on the riverside. The soldiers were on the boat, and some were training on the shore.
Shen Wan followed Xiao Wumian to the turret, Xiao Wumian stood in the wind, his dark purple cloak was rolled up by the wind, his figure was still handsome like a fairy, his long flowing hair was carried up by the wind, slid over his shoulders, and blurred Shen Wan's eyes.
Xiao Wumian, in the court, he is a bold acting king; In Zichen Palace, he is a gentle and handsome man. And here, again, he is a heroic and invincible general.
The cold wind on the river came with a slightly damp water vapor, Shen Wan narrowed her eyes, her arrival gave the soldiers morale and confidence.
"What are our chances of winning?" I still couldn't help but ask, although in Shen Wan's heart, she didn't know whether she wanted Nanguo to win or lose.
Xiao Wumian said: "If the two northwestern countries meet before they go ashore, the southern country will have a much greater chance of winning. But if you come ashore and encounter it, the chances of winning are slim. ”
Shen Wan frowned: "Are you worried that the two Northwest countries will jointly attack the south?" ”
Xiao Wumian nodded, and said, "But perhaps, there will be a situation of chaos between the Three Kingdoms." In short, a vicious battle cannot be avoided. ”
Shen Wan pursed her lips and looked forward to the endless river and the sky. He said in a low voice: "I am really an ominous person, I was just welcomed back by you, and I brought war to the southern country." ”
Xiao Wumian hurriedly said, "How can Your Highness think so? His Royal Highness can return to China, which is the blessing of our people! ”
Shen Wan smiled helplessly at him, and asked instead, "I've known you for so long, why have I never heard that you have a wife, not even a concubine?" With your demeanor, there are more people who fall than you, right? ”
Xiao Wumian didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Before, there were dozens of concubines in my acting palace, but since I wanted to welcome His Highness back to China, I have sent them away. ”
Shen Wan was taken aback: "Why?" ”
Xiao Wumian smiled frankly: "In order to assist His Highness wholeheartedly." ”
Shen Wan looked at him in surprise, his smile was gentle, and his jade-like face was quiet and noble, and his elegance was outstanding.
