Lu Wanzhi returned to Mingzhou City with the grain borrowed from the people, and all the way back to the barracks, she found that the generals looked at her wrongly.

When he arrived at the barracks, Zhao Hengzheng frowned and scolded Cao Qin and Jiang Chao in front of him: "You two, how can you say the words of letting the princess of the county sacrifice?" ”

Jiang Li said on the side: "It's Daddy, you are too much, our boy's family is not dead, Sister Lu has also grown up with you!" How can you say that you want Sister Lu to go to Pearl Island! ”

Lu Wanzhi entered, stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Mo Wenqi on the side said: "The eldest princess of Gui'an sent a letter this morning to say that you should go to Pearl Island to pay for He Bin's life, as long as you die, she will withdraw her troops and dismiss her subordinates." ”

Zhao Heng said sharply: "I don't believe her bullshit!" ”

Lu Wanzhi frowned and looked at Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng said: "He Yue's words are not counted, can you believe Aunt Gui'an's words?" At this point, she has no son, can she be willing to stop there? ”

Jiang Chao sighed and said: "Princess Jun, you have been friends with my family Su Ling since you were a child, as Jiang Li said, you grew up watching me, Jiang Li was able to be admitted to the Jinshi thanks to you, otherwise he would have to live a hard life in the army every day like me."

It's just that since the prince and the eldest prince fell into the sea and their lives and deaths are unknown, the military spirit has collapsed, and now the eldest princess of Gui'an has more military ships in her hands than us, and there are more soldiers than us, and General Zhang of Bohai will also have to fortify, and he may not come to Mingzhou to support.

As far as the imperial court is concerned, instead of going to great lengths to transfer water from the Bohai Sea, it is better to wait for the soldiers of Princess Gui'an to go ashore, and then the Mingzhou Navy has long lost its fighting spirit.

This time, the eldest princess of Gui'an asked you to go to Pearl Island to pay for He Bin's life, and she was willing to withdraw her troops and return to Shun, which is the best for the Mingzhou Navy soldiers, if you don't go to Pearl Island, I am afraid that these soldiers will become more and more demoralized. ”

Jiang Li frowned and said, "Dad! ”

Zhao Heng held Lu Wanzhi's hand and said: "Zhizhi, don't listen to their nonsense, I can't trust Aunt Gui'an, she has no son, even if you pay for your life, you will definitely not withdraw the army." ”

Cao Qin sighed and said: "But the prince of the county, if this is not the case, our soldiers can only go to die, this is the ...... of the New Year."

Zhao Heng said sharply: "Then I shouldn't let my wife die!" ”

"Send the princess of the county to Pearl Island to protect the peace of the country."

"Send the princess of the county to Pearl Island and protect the peace of the country!"

At the door, there were bursts of soldiers' words.

The barracks are on the seaside, there are still two floors, Lu Wanzhi walked to the railing outside the house, and looked at the soldiers who came below, her hands trembled slightly.

Zhao Heng clenched Lu Wanzhi's hand and said, "I won't let you die." ”

Lu Wanzhi let go of Zhao Heng's hand, coughed, and said loudly: "Everyone, I have been in Shanyin City for the past five days, and this is the food borrowed from the homes of the people of Shanyin!" ”

Lu Wanzhi motioned for the guards to bring up the grain.

"This piece of bacon, a piece of sauce duck and chicken, a piece of preserved fish, these should be the rations of these people during the New Year, many people, just look forward to eating such a bite of meat in this New Year!"

Lu Wanzhi pointed to the grain and said: "But they all offered the food, because they knew how heroic the soldiers of Mingzhou were, they would rather have a bad year by themselves, and would rather not have a good omen every year, and they would do their best to give all the food."

And you, today you want me to send me to death to protect the Dasheng country, it's ridiculous! He Bin was not killed by me, he died at the hands of those rebellious ministers and thieves, am I not innocent?

The prince and I could have fled back to Chang'an, a family of three and a beautiful family, simply, we couldn't attack Chang'an for a while and a half, and we could be drunk and dreamed of death in Chang'an.

It's just that the king of Chu has spent half his life for Mingzhou, and we, as his son and daughter-in-law, know what Mingzhou City means to him, and we also know that his subordinates will be as brave and fearless as him, and they will inevitably destroy all the rebellious ministers and thieves.

So even if there is no holy decree for us to come to fight the enemy, I and the prince of the county left a child less than a year old and came to the front line in Mingzhou, but now you want me to be innocent and sent to death?

Don't say that you are a soldier of Mingzhou, a soldier of Dasheng, since you are so greedy for life and afraid of death, it is better to go directly to the rebellious ministers and thieves.

The soldiers of the King of Chu should not be so cowardly! ”

When Jiang Chao and Cao Qin heard Lu Wanzhi's words, they all lowered their heads in shame.

Zhao Heng followed closely and said: "What the princess of the county said is very true, those rebellious ministers and thieves are plotting rebellion and committing rebellion, and they also ignore the facts, He Bin's death, many soldiers witnessed it with their own eyes, what does it have to do with the princess of the county?" Now you are in vain and want to let the princess of the county die, what is the difference between you and the rebellious ministers and thieves? ”

Many of the soldiers looked at each other in shame.

Lu Wanzhi clenched his hands and said: "I know, the whereabouts of the King of Chu are unknown, you have no confidence in your hearts, and the reputation of the little county king is not good, you can't trust him."

But now, we can only go all out to protect the territory of Dasheng desperately, and behind us are thousands of people, and among those people, there are your family and friends! Once you let the rebellious ministers and thieves go ashore and enter Mingzhou and provoke disputes, Mingzhou City will be abolished.

This is the heart of all the people of San'in, and even more, the food delivered by the old man who lives in the mountains for two days on foot.

These people deserve to be protected, I die, I can, die for these people, I deserve to die, I will die on the battlefield against the rebels and thieves.

But if I want to admit what innocent life and die in vain, I don't want to!

If you want to be left behind by the brave and fearless Mingzhou Navy, if you think that I don't want to die in vain, and will kill you, you can leave here! ”

After Lu Wanzhi finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the door of the barracks.

In the crowd, Jiang Li shouted loudly: "I, Jiang Li, am willing to stay and be the Mingzhou Navy and swear to defend the territory of Dasheng to the death." ”

After Jiang Li's sound, many soldiers half-knelt down, shouting to defend the territory of Dasheng to the death, a sound resounded through the sky, and the cold wind howled, but everyone felt their blood boiling.

Zhao Heng lowered his eyes and looked at Lu Wanzhi's side face, and also shouted: "I, Zhao Heng, swear to defend the territory of Dasheng to the death, and tomorrow we will recover Pearl Island!" ”

"Reclaim Pearl Island!"

All the soldiers raised their arms and shouted.

It's night, it's dark.

Zhang Yuan looked at the sky and realized that there would be fog tomorrow morning, and taking advantage of the fog on Pearl Island tomorrow morning was the key to recovering Pearl Island.

The terrain of this Pearl Island is excellent, so the eldest princess Gui'an will use it as a stronghold, if she can capture the pearl island and capture the eldest princess Gui'an alive, it can be regarded as a victory without a fight.

Zhao Heng ordered troops overnight, and he was busy until the end of the day, before the military ship was about to leave.

Zhao Heng arrived in the barracks and hugged Lu Wanzhi tightly in his arms, "Zhizhi, if I can't come back, you must not remarry." ”

Lu Wanzhi: "......"

"If you have to remarry, you can't remarry Shen Luozhi."

Lu Wanzhi: "Bah, what are you talking about?" ”

"I can't remarry Jiang Li yet, no, Jiang Li followed me to fight, if I die, he may also die......"

Lu Wanzhi stretched out her hand and twisted Zhao Heng's ear and said, "You don't talk nonsense to me!" When will your be fixed? ”

"I have already written a suicide note to the imperial uncle and the imperial brother, if you remarry Shen Luozhi, they will not agree, I will be jealous every day as a ghost."

Zhao Heng sniffed and said, "Zhizhi, I'm so reluctant to let you go." ”

Lu Wanzhi choked up and said, "We don't have a daughter yet, so you have to come back with all your strength." ”

Zhao Heng lowered his head and imprinted a kiss on Lu Wanzhi's red lips, "Zhizhi, I'm leaving." ”

Lu Wanzhi looked at the back of Zhao Heng leaving, Zhao Heng wearing armor was more handsome than Zhao Heng wearing official uniforms, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and went to the temple on the side, knelt in front of the temple, and prayed for the Buddha to bless Zhao Heng to return safely.

Lu Wanzhi has never been so religious.
