Chapter 252: Raid

Although Xiaolan is still young, she has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she already knows how to protect herself, and she can hide her expression well.

So when Zhou Jin walked out of the study, her expression was no different from usual, and she seemed to have forgotten what she had just seen.

It's also a skill to be able to forget one thing quickly, because there are many things that she shouldn't know.

However, she was still surprised in her heart, because she knew that when Her Royal Highness returned to the palace, her whole body would be lost, as if she were a flower about to wither.

At this time, Her Royal Highness the Princess's eyes were more gentle than before, her smile was more moving than before, her walking was lighter than before, and her whole person was shining in the bright moonlight.

Xiaolan knew that the reason why Her Royal Highness the princess had changed so much was entirely because of Su Gongzi beside her, and the brilliance she exuded was also for Su Gongzi.

What made her even more puzzled was that it was clear that Su Gongzi was younger than Her Royal Highness the Princess, but Su Gongzi looked at her with a doting look, and Her Royal Highness the Princess also enjoyed this kind of pampering very much.

Xiaolan is fifteen years old, and she has gradually begun to understand some things, and she also understands what the shyness on the face of Her Royal Highness the princess and the charm in her eyes mean.

So she suddenly felt very worried and scared in her heart, because Su Gongzi had already been married, and he was going to get married soon.

But Her Royal Highness seems to have forgotten about it.

Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh secretly, because Her Royal Highness seemed to be about to forget about her now.

Although from the perspective of others, Su Shi was sending Her Royal Highness the princess out of the house, but what Xiaolan saw was the two smiling and flirting, and Her Royal Highness seemed to have only Su Gongzi in her eyes.

She suddenly felt that the road out of the mansion was so long, so when she stepped out of the gate of the general's mansion, she finally let out a long breath.

But Zhou Jin seemed to think that this road was too short, so when she saw her gorgeous carriage, she couldn't help but show a lost look.

But despite all the reluctance in her heart, no matter how slow the carriage went, it finally disappeared into the night.

Until the carriage had disappeared, Su Shi was still standing in front of the mansion gate, motionless and looking in the direction where the carriage disappeared.

As long as Su Shi leaves the General's Mansion, Lin Mo will definitely be by his side. At this time, Lin Mo's eyes were also full of worry.

He is not blind, and even if he is blind, he can clearly feel that there is an undeserved affection between the prince and the princess.

In the middle of the month, it is as round as a silver plate.

Su Shi looked at the eternal full moon and slowly sat down on the stone steps.

Lin Mo could see that Childe had something on his mind, but he didn't know what Childe's mind was, and even if he knew, he had to pretend not to know. Because even if he knew, Lin Mo was helpless, and the only thing he could do was to sit on the stone steps with him.

As soon as he sat down, Su Shi suddenly turned his head to look at him.

"Hu Khan Qi Yuanlu said that he would raise 300,000 troops to invade the border, do you think it is impossible?"

Lin Mo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, because he didn't expect Gongzi to care about the military, and what he didn't expect was that he would ask him about this kind of military aircraft.

Therefore, Lin Mo was a little hesitant: "After more than 20 years of recuperation, the army that the Hu people can gather can reach at least 500,000. ”

"So much?" Su Shi couldn't help but exclaim.

"Qi Yuanlu is also a generation of Tianjiao on the grassland." Lin Mo said silently: "The old general once commented on him, saying that he is majestic and strategic, scheming deep, and ambitious, and will be a big trouble. ”

"Twenty years ago, Qi Yuanlu dominated the grassland, but although he had the heart to get involved in the great work, he has been holding back for the past 20 years. Therefore, the old general was very worried, because he thought that if Qi Yuanlu did not start it, it would be enough, and once the war was launched, it would definitely be a thunderous trend. ”

Su Shi couldn't help frowning: "Since my father knows that the situation is so grim, he should go to the court and prepare early." ”

Lin Mo smiled bitterly: "The old general has long written to the imperial court about the situation facing the north, but the Hu people have not taken any action in the past 20 years, and they have also actively traded with the big cadres, so the minister of the DPRK and China thinks that the old general is alarmist." ”

Su Shi was puzzled: "I have heard you say that the Hu people burned, killed and looted on the border, is this also alarmist?" Those ministers of the DPRK and China can't see it? ”

Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh: "This has to start from five years ago. ”

"Five years ago?" Su Shi was a little surprised: "What happened five years ago?" ”

However, at this time, Lin Mo seemed a little hesitant, and didn't seem to want to tell Su Shi.

Su Shi couldn't help but urge: "Don't talk about it yet." ”

Lin Mo had no choice but to say: "Five years ago, the old general got a secret report, saying that the Hu people had gathered a thousand men and horses in the Black Dragon Valley and wanted to surround the city and attack Wannan Town. After the old general got the tip, he naturally wanted to strike first, so he sent General Dong Cheng Dong to lead three thousand elites to raid the Black Dragon Valley. ”

"When General Dong led three thousand elites to the Black Dragon Valley, there were indeed Hu people gathered there, but they were all old and weak women and children."

Su Shi said with a smile: "Since they are all old and weak women and children, it means that the information is wrong, and it is just a matter of letting General Dong run for nothing." ”

However, there was no trace of a smile on Lin Mo's face, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Those old and weak women and children are all from the Qinghao tribe, and when General Dong found them, more than 800 old and weak women and children had all been killed, and there was not a single one left alive. ”

Su Shi stood up abruptly and looked at Lin Mo with a shocked expression.

Lin Mo suddenly sighed: "However, at this moment, more than a thousand young adults from the Qinghao tribe also appeared in the Black Dragon Valley, and found that their parents, wives and children had died tragically, and they couldn't help but rush towards our army. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Mo slowly closed his eyes: "It is said that the yellow sand in the Black Dragon Valley was stained red with blood that night. ”

"All the 1,183 people of the Qingwu tribe were killed in battle, and 876 of the 3,000 elites led by General Dong left their lives there."

Su Shi looked up at the full moon, the moonlight was bright.

However, who would have thought that so many tragic things would happen under this bright moonlight.

Su Chang let out a long breath and asked slowly, "And then?" ”

Lin Mo was silent for a while, and only replied after a long time: "After this incident, Qi Yuanlu sent an envoy into Beijing, saying that the old general slaughtered the Qinghao tribe for no reason, and at the same time gathered 100,000 horsemen to come to the city to avenge the Qinghao tribe. ”

"Although the old general explained in every possible way, it is a fact that the Qinghao tribe was slaughtered, and it is also a fact that General Dong and three thousand elites appeared in the Black Dragon Valley, not to mention that more than a thousand people did die in the hands of the border army, so no one believed the old general's explanation."

"So how did this matter finally be resolved, I have the impression that there seemed to be no fighting at the border five years ago."
