The calculation failed, Song Ruitong's mood was undoubtedly terrible, and he knew that it would be difficult to have another opportunity to get close to Qin Zhao, the prince of Changguo, like today. However, whether she can think about it or not, the calculation of the prince of Changguo did not succeed after all.

Time flies, time flies, and the past five years have passed.

"Ning'er, I like you, I want to marry you as my wife for a long time, tomorrow morning I will go to the border with the army to fight against the enemy, before leaving, I feel the need to tell you my heart,

Although this is a bit selfish, after all, it is unknown whether I can come back safe and sound, and it is unfair to you to show my heart to you like this, but if you don't say it,

I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to stand in front of you and tell you in person how much I like you, so I beg your pardon for my abrupt behavior, and besides, you don't have to rush to give me an answer. ”

Silent for a moment, Qin Zhao's dark eyes were full of seriousness, he pursed his lips, and his low and soft voice spread out again: "You have to take care!" ”

Song Ruining's pretty and fair face was covered with red glow, she didn't avoid Qin Zhao's scorching gaze, met the other party's eyes, and said word by word: "I can give you an answer now, listen well, I, Song Ruining, also like Qin Zhao, I like that very much!" Don't worry, go to the border to kill the enemy, I will wait for you to come back and marry me!" ”

As early as three years ago, on the day of her fifteenth birthday, she felt this person's feelings for her, and at the same time had the intention of discovering her own.

As soon as he says "I like you", she responds immediately. For feelings, she deeply thinks that liking is liking, disliking is not liking, twisting and pretending, wanting to refuse and welcome, hanging the opposite sex who likes herself, is extremely immoral.

“……”

Qin Zhao was stunned, he didn't expect the girl he admired to give him a great blessing so easily, and he was stupid for a while.

"Surprised? My mother said that you should take your feelings seriously, and if you like them, you have to say them, so as not to miss a good marriage, of course, if the other party has no intention, don't force it; If you don't like it,

When someone confesses to you, it is best to reject the other party directly to save the other party from misunderstanding. I like Brother Zhao, it's the kind of girl who likes boys, since I like you,

You also like me, and you express your heart directly to me, I naturally have to give you a reply in time, which is a sign of respect for you, and also so that you don't pretend to be in your heart before leaving. ”

"Ning'er, you're so nice."

Qin Zhao grinned.

"I'm already fine!"

Song Ruining raised her chin very arrogantly.

"Yes, yes, we Ning'er have been very good since we were young!"

The confession was successful, Qin Zhao's heart almost flew up, and suddenly, he didn't know what to think, put away his smile, and asked a little cautiously: "You said that if my mother knew about me and you...... Will you smoke me? ”

"Do you think my mother didn't see what you thought about me? And my eldest brother and second brother, do you think they don't know what you think about me? ”

Song Ruining looked at the other party funny: "In the year of my life, including me, my mother and eldest brother and second brother all saw that you were beating me!" ”

She said it generously, but Qin Zhao, the person who listened, blushed, scratched the back of his head, and was embarrassed: "Mother and your eldest brother and second brother actually know?!" ”

"Can I bluff you?"

Song Ruining pursed her lips and smiled, raising her eyebrows: "What?" Scared? ”

Qin Zhao opened his mouth and nodded: "A little." ”

"Silly! If your mother and eldest brother have an opinion about you, do you think they will not talk to you? Besides, I just said that, can't you guess what my mother and my eldest brother and second brother think? ”

Qin Zhao's eyes lit up: "Mother and your eldest brother and second brother agree that we are together?" ”

"Fool, do you need to keep asking?!"

Song Ruining looked at Qin Zhao with a funny face: "By the way, this time those Tartars are attacking my Great Xia Border Pass, with our cases and ordnance and fat and strong war horses, it will definitely not be a problem to defeat them, you have to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and at the same time protect yourself, I am waiting for you and my eldest brother in the capital to return triumphantly with the army." ”

Great Xia's comprehensive national strength is now extremely strong, and the grassland tribes have been planning for many years, and finally they can't hold back their ambitions, and they want to level the entire Central Plains in one go, heh! Think beautifully! Not to mention the side, the current ordnance strength of Great Xia alone makes it impossible to come and go, and it is completely out of the question.

Speaking of which, how can the grassland tribes not know that invading Bactria is equivalent to hitting a stone with an egg, but the grassland has suffered disasters year after year, not to mention that the cattle and sheep do not have enough forage to reproduce and grow, that is, the number of herdsmen starving to death and freezing to death continues to increase year after year.

Seeing that the life of the people in the border pass of Daxia is prosperous, the herdsmen are all envious, and some of them really can't survive, so they quietly go to Daxia with their families and enter the border city.

I am willing to be a citizen of Daxia to ensure that my family can live a stable life.

However, for the convenience of management, all grassland herdsmen who defected to Bactria and were willing to be the people of Great Xia were all placed in the specified area to build houses and settle down after entering the border city.

In the face of the loss of people, the rulers of the grassland royal court were naturally very unhappy, and ordered that once someone was found to have defected to Great Xia and turned his back on the grassland tribe, he would be killed. Therefore, the number of grassland herdsmen who can really quietly and peacefully defect to Daxia and enter the border cities to be the children of Daxia has not been particularly large in recent years.

The clansmen were killed and beheaded by those in power, and the ordinary grassland herdsmen did not dare to resist on their faces, but in their hearts they hated the brutal rule of the Imperial Court, and at the same time, they became more and more envious of the good life of the people of the border cities of Great Xia and the people of the same clan who defected to Great Xia.

All kinds of materials are abundant, some eat and some wear, no longer have to worry about being frozen to death by heavy winds and snows in winter, no longer have to worry about starving to death in the tent without enough food. Where there is oppression, there is resistance,

In order to survive, the ordinary herdsmen on the grassland secretly accumulated strength and wanted to rebel against the royal court, but they did not have the weapons in their hands and were repeatedly bloodily suppressed, but the more they suppressed, the more the herdsmen resisted.

In order to appease the people, the rulers of the royal court gathered the nobles of the various steppe tribes to secretly consult, and decided to launch their long-planned plan - to level the Central Plains!

They were afraid of Great Xia, but compared with this fear, the ruling class on the grassland was more worried about the instability of the people, the overthrow of the power in their hands, and the internal collapse of the grassland.

In this case, stepping on Daxia and turning everything in Daxia into their own, the dilemma they faced was undoubtedly solved. Since the war was launched in a premeditated manner, the steppes were naturally fully prepared.

Since the beginning of the month, troops have been sent to attack the border cities, and there have been three large and small wars, although they have not taken advantage, but the army on the side of Great Xia has inevitably suffered damage.
