Chapter 40: Waging War

"Sir, I still need something, or Her Majesty will punish me." A little fear flashed in the maid's eyes.

"Oh, is the Queen's punishment heavy?" Lu Xiaoxing asked.

"No... Not heavy. The maid's eyes darkened.

"You're not telling the truth. Lu Xiaoxing was so smart, he could see through the maid's expression at once, and he guessed the truth.

"I... I. The maid looked at him with some fear.

"You think I'm going to complain to her, don't worry, I'm not here to test your tone. Lu Xiaoxing smiled, and the solemnity in his eyes reappeared.

Sister, sister, what are you doing?

"Go ahead. Lu Xiaoxing waved at the maid and let her out.

It wasn't long before Kinoshita returned, informing him that he would be summoned to the main hall the next morning. Lu Xiaoxing raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything.

Early the next morning, Lu Xiaoxing woke up, which was the most comfortable sleep he had in recent years.

"Knock, knock, knock. "There was a knock on the door. "Is the gentleman awake?"

"Wake up. Lu Xiaoxing changed into a white dress, after all, it is an imperial city, and the dress should be more formal.

"It's your breakfast. The maid brought a plate, and it was full of delicacies.

"Thank you, you can go and get busy first, you don't have to guard me. Lu Xiaoxing made her stare at it, uncomfortable.

"Good. The maid hurriedly retreated.

Halfway through the meal, Kinoshita pushed the door in, "Are you ready?"

"Almost, let's go. Lu Xiaoxing had no intention of eating any more, wiped his mouth and followed Kinoshita out.

Passing through several arches, a large hall is in front of you.

"Come on. A majestic female voice came from the hall, and Lu Xiaoxing's body shook, this was the voice of her sister Xiaoyue.

Lu Xiaoxing and Kinoshita glanced at each other and began to climb the steps.

The twenty steps were climbed in an instant, and Lu Xiaoxing saw Xiaoyue sitting on a high seat at a glance.

Xiaoyue was dressed in gorgeous court clothes, sitting on the throne upright, domineering and exposed.

Lu Xiaoxing slowly entered the main hall, his eyes looked directly at Xiaoyue, and he was about to speak, when he heard a loud shout next to him.

"Where did the wilderness reckless man come from, and he didn't worship Her Majesty when he saw him?"

Looking for the voice, it was a white-haired old man, who looked like Kinoshita in clothes, and should be one of the six generals.

"No need to worship. Xiaoyue stood up from her high position and walked down.

The white-haired old man was stunned for a moment, and then stepped aside.

"You've been missing for a few years, but it's easy for my sister to find you. Xiaoyue stood in front of Lu Xiaoxing, one hand caressing his face.

"Really, my sister has been fighting for many years but still hasn't forgotten me, I'm really ashamed. Lu Xiaoxing's left hand was on Xiaoyue's hand.

"I should be the one who is ashamed, you have fallen into the evil prison for so many years and I have been fighting here for many years, it is because I have not fulfilled my responsibility to take care of you. Xiaoyue looked embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'm not coming back. Lu Xiaoxing said with a smile.

"Hmm. Xiaoyue withdrew Lu Xiaoxing's hand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see, if the situation is very good today, and my brother's return is the icing on the cake, I think the siege of the enemy in the south is the right time, what do you think?" Xiaoyue's voice resounded through the hall.

"The emperor is wise!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

. For a moment, all kinds of voices of echoing and flattery erupted from the crowd. Xiaoyue nodded, as if enjoying it.

"I'm going to go on a personal expedition!"

......

Lu Xiaoxing hadn't seen Xiaoyue since then, and on the way back to his residence, he ran into General Kinoshita. With a lot of questions, he greeted him.

"I met General Kinoshita again. Lu Xiaoxing smiled.

"Hello, Prince Lu. Kinoshita returned the salute.

"What is the strength of our enemy, why does my sister want to fight in person?" Lu Xiaoxing put on a different expression.

"The leader of the enemy is a veteran spirit master, his strength is not bad, the generals at the head of our six generals are difficult to beat him, there are three powerful generals under that person, and their strength is as high as the Nine Flames, which is why it is bothering Your Majesty to personally conquer. Kinoshita whispered.

"Prince Lu. An old voice came.

Lu Xiaoxing parted from Kinoshita and turned to look at the source of the sound.

"Prince Lu, I found you. "The old man is very familiar, and it is the person who asked him to meet Xiaoyue in the court.

"May I ask who you are?" Lu Xiaoxing smiled apologetically.

"The former Jiujiang, the head of the six generals. Your Majesty, please consult with my three generals in the apse about the war. The old man said respectfully.

"Oh... Okay, please lead the way. Lu Xiaoxing nodded.

"Kinoshita, from today onwards, you are temporarily responsible for the defense of the city gate, Mo Yang is going to go with us to the southern expedition, you go to hand over in the afternoon. Qianjiujiang said.

"Yes, I'll go and prepare. Kinoshimi bowed, glanced at Lu Xiaoxing and turned to leave.

"This way. Qianjiujiang waved his long sleeves and took Lu Xiaoxing to a small road.

It was late spring, the path of the apse was full of green trees, and the fragrance of flowers in the distance was mixed with the spring breeze, which made Lu Xiaoxing, who was strolling, feel comfortable.

The fragrance of the flowers became more and more intense, and in less than a hundred steps, a small door appeared, with the word "backyard" written on it. There is also Xiaoyue's nomination.

"Is this my sister's name?" Lu Xiaoxing smiled in his heart.

"Exactly, His Majesty felt that the name of the Imperial Garden was too solemn, so he changed it to an easy-going backyard. Qianjiujiang said while introducing Lu Xiaoxing into the park.

"Hmm. Lu Xiaoxing nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

It's better to say that it's a garden than a sea of flowers, and everywhere you see it are all kinds of flowers. At the end of the path is a house, simple but exquisite, and although it does not have the majesty of the main hall, it has an idyllic leisure. The most important thing is that Lu Xiaoxing feels that there is a shadow of this house in the depths of his memory, and he feels very kind.

Walking into the door, all kinds of eyes fell on him, Xiaoyue's arrogance, Mo Yang's respect, Qianjiujiang's friendliness, and... Jealousy from a young man.

"I don't know what this military meeting has to do with Prince Lu?" The young man saw that it was Lu Xiaoxing who entered the door, and the expression on his face changed.

"I want Brother Xian to go on an expedition with me, do you have any opinion on General Qiu?" Xiaoyue glanced at the young man next to her.

"I'm just afraid that Prince Lu will be taken captive in the army and taken prisoner. At that time, it will affect the offensive plan of our army. General Qiu stared at Lu Xiaoxing and said.

Why is this person so difficult to get along with me, is it my sister's suitor?" Lu Xiaoxing thought to himself.

"How does General Qiu know that I don't have the power to protect myself?" Lu Xiaoxing asked with a smile.

"The spies of our army reported that there are only more than 1,000 people left in the evil prison, and the strong ones are only a handful of them, and with Prince Lu's previous strength, he can go sideways, so the strength of the prince will not improve much, and the seriousness of those people is just a drizzle?" General Qiu said proudly.

Lu Xiaoxing's eyes closed, and he couldn't hold back the smile that was about to burst out.

There are less than one percent of the evil prisoners? The strong ones are only a handful of them? Aren't they all killed by me?

Slowly open your eyes. "Since General Qiu doesn't believe it, just try it out for a while. ”
