It wasn't until Xiao Ruoxi's cheeks turned red and her breathing began to be a little uncomfortable that Chu Xiuhan reluctantly let go of her, and instead tapped her on her forehead, and then tightly wrapped her in his arms, his resolute chin gently rubbed her hair, and greedily sniffed the unique faint fragrance on her body.

Xiao Ruoxi snuggled in Chu Xiuhan's arms, waited for his thoughts to calm down a little, and then looked at the team that was gradually moving away, and said softly:

"I heard that Chu Xiuran only sent 2,000 soldiers to you, ...... you Will it work? ”

In her tone, she was full of worry, Chu Xiuhan went to the border pass, there were countless dangers, she was afraid, afraid that if he went, she would never see him again.

Chu Xiuhan naturally understood that Xiao Ruoxi was worried about him, kissed her hair gently, and said softly:

"Don't worry! There are still 10,000 soldiers in the hands of General Bian Guan Qi, and they are all trained by me personally, and I will be fine. ”

Although Chu Xiuhan said in a gentle tone, the yin owl in his eyes flashed, but Xiao Ruoxi buried his head in his arms and didn't notice it.

Chu Xiuran only gave him 2,000 soldiers, which was clearly to kill him, but he would not let him get his wish, even if he tried his best, he would fight his way out.

Xiao Ruoxi nodded in Chu Xiuhan's arms, but there was still inevitable worry in his heart.

"You must come back intact, I will wait for you to come back in the Hanwang Mansion."

Hearing this, Chu Xiuhan stretched out his index finger, gently lifted Xiao Ruoxi's chin, made her look directly at him, and said:

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

After speaking, he kissed her lightly on the forehead again: "It's not too early, I should go, you remember to take care of yourself." ”

Leaving this sentence, Chu Xiuhan reluctantly let go of the fragrance in his arms, turned around and prepared to leave, now that the border war is tight, he can't delay too much time here.

However, the moment he turned around, Xiao Ruoxi held his hand tightly.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Xiuhan turned his head, looked at the unspeakable hint in Xiao Ruoxi's eyes, and asked with some concern.

Xiao Ruoxi bit her lip and said, "Chu Xiuhan, my father used hundreds of lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion to make a name for himself to keep you out of prison, you ...... You must not ......"

Xiao Ruoxi wanted to speak and stopped, she didn't know how to say that.

But Chu Xiuhan understood what she meant, looked at her affectionately, and said gently: "Xi'er, do you believe me?" ”

It was the first time he had called her name, and it was the first time she had been with him for so long that she had never heard him call her name.

He didn't call her the princess with a straight face, nor did he call her a lady with a ridiculous face, and he didn't call her Ruoxi like everyone else, but called her Xi'er with affectionate eyes.

Xi'er ...... No one had ever called her that before, and today was the first time someone had called her that, and she loved it.

Perhaps, it was because it was the first time someone called her like this, or perhaps, because the person who called her that way was him.

Xiao Ruoxi looked at Chu Xiuhan and said with an extremely serious expression: "I believe in you, and I hope you don't live up to my trust in you." ”

Hearing this, Chu Xiuhan hooked his lips and smiled, touched Xiao Ruoxi's head affectionately, and said:

"Wait at home for me to come back."

After saying that, he turned over and got on his horse, waved the long whip in his hand, and rode away.

"Chu Xiuhan, I'll wait for you to come back."

Looking at the figure that gradually disappeared from sight, Xiao Ruoxi muttered.

"Newspaper—"

In the council hall, a soldier in armor trotted in with a document in his hand and knelt down on one knee in the hall.

"How's the war going at the border?"

Chu Xiuran looked at the soldier with a nervous expression and asked, right now, what he was most concerned about was the war at the border pass, after all, this was a major event that threatened the survival of his Chu State.

It has been ten days since Chu Xiuhan was sent to the border by him, but there has been no news coming, he can't wait for a long time, and now when he sees the soldier who reported it, Chu Xiuhan's heart has risen to his throat.

"His Royal Highness King Han personally ordered troops and has driven back the barbarians of South Vietnam for more than 30 miles outside the pass."

The soldier handed over the good news in his hand to Gonggong Chen, who walked towards him quickly, knelt on one knee, and said to Chu Xiuran with a respectful face.

When Chu Xiuran heard this, he looked at the good news that Gonggong Chen had brought over, and suddenly patted the dragon chair excitedly, and the dragon face was happy:

"Haha...... Good...... Good! ”

said several good words in a row, which is enough to prove that his mood at the moment is extremely happy.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, repel the South Vietnamese barbarians, and show off my great Chu and show your might!"

Seeing Chu Xiuran's extremely excited appearance at the moment, the civil and military officials in the council hall knelt down one after another, shouting congratulations and the like.

At this moment, no one seems to have forgotten that the people who really repelled those South Vietnamese barbarians were Chu Xiuhan and those soldiers at the border pass, but they were shouting long live Chu Xiuran here.

Because everyone knew in their hearts that Chu Xiuran was eager to kill Chu Xiuhan, just with the good news he had just sent, he only said a few good words, Chu Xiuhan had made such a great contribution, but he didn't mention the reward.

Therefore, everyone knew that no one would touch Chu Xiu's moldy head at this time.

However, although there are those who fall in the direction of the wind, there are also those who always remain neutral.

For example, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng!

"His Royal Highness the King of Han is brave and good at fighting, brave and invincible, but in three days, he repelled the South Vietnamese barbarians for more than 30 miles outside the pass, which is really worthy of the pride of my Great Chu, Your Majesty, on merit, should be rewarded."

After the civil and military officials finished filming Chu Xiuran's sycophants, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng stood up and said very respectfully to Chu Xiuran.

In fact, when he said this, he also had his selfish intentions, and now, he and Chu Xiuhan are grasshoppers tied to a rope, and the two of them were forced to be tied together, so he had to Chu Xiuhan's words and deeds.

But as soon as Prime Minister Xiao said this, Chu Xiuran's face suddenly sank, the joy just now was gone, and his gaze at Prime Minister Xiao was full of danger.

"Then the prime minister thinks that how should I reward King Han so that I can be worthy of his merit?"

Chu Xiuran deliberately accentuated the word credit, expressing that he was very unhappy at the moment.

Suddenly, there was silence in the government and the opposition, so quiet that it seemed that even the sound of people's breathing was in their ears, and they could hear it clearly.

But Prime Minister Xiao was not frightened, raised his eyes, looked at Chu Xiuran, and said with words:

"The emperor should be rewarded according to his military merits."

After speaking, he kept waiting for Chu Xiuran's answer, but after waiting for a long time, he never saw Chu Xiuran's reply.

Chu Xiuran had been sitting on the dragon chair, looking at Prime Minister Xiao Cheng with complicated eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, after a long time, he leaned back slightly on the back of the chair, looked at the people in the council hall with deep eyes, and said leisurely:

"What do you think?"
