Chapter 83: Departure for the capital

Inside the Binh Duong Mansion.

Yuan Wanyu suddenly came out, which really surprised Chu Yujia.

Chu Yujia subconsciously wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Yuan Wanyu.

"General Chu, don't be so restrained, I just want to chat with you. ”

Yuan Wanyu hesitated for a moment and continued: "Just like ordinary friends. ”

Chu Yujia was stunned for a moment, but then nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After Chu Yujia said this, the two of them stopped talking, and the atmosphere was a little silent.

Yuan Wanyu held her chin in her hands and looked out of the window.

It's already midnight, and the stars in the sky are very bright and beautiful.

In the past few days, or since she left the Song Dynasty, she has been living a very boring life, either bumpy on the road, or entertaining dignitaries from all over the world who came to pay a visit.

Because of her identity, she could hardly find anyone to talk to.

But Chu Yujia was different from others, he wouldn't stare at her intently like other men, as if he had seen something strange.

will not be like the dignitaries of the Later Song Dynasty, groveling to her, making her feel uncomfortable.

His personality is more free-spirited, and his eyes are clear, and even if she looks at him, she doesn't feel any discomfort.

She is only sixteen or seventeen years old this year, a normal girl of this age, even if she was Gong Limo at the beginning, she was playing carefree, but she had to bear a lot of responsibilities.

She is the eldest princess of a country, but at a young age, she has to bear the responsibility that she should not be at this age.

Although in the Mingwu Empire, there is no such thing as men being superior or women being inferior, but after the princess is married, she is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the royal court, which is clearly stipulated.

However, before the princess is married, she has to deal with the princes and nations like the prince of every country.

Especially after the Song Dynasty, the current monarch has just succeeded to the throne, she is naturally busier, her brother is now going to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and she is going to the Ye Kingdom in the north.

Perhaps because the atmosphere was too depressing, Yuan Wanyu took the lead in asking: "I heard that during the Qi Ye War, you alone changed the entire battle situation?"

"Not really. ”

Chu Yujia shook his head slightly and said: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the war is not won by someone, if I have to say that I have played any role in this war, it is that I grasped the fighter at the right time, and I have the opportunity to kill with one blow." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Wanyu raised her eyebrows and said, "Isn't it you who changed the battle situation alone?"

"Fighters are tens of thousands of brothers, bought with their lives. ”

Chu Yujia sighed and said: "In the Qi Ye War, I don't know how much Qi lost in the war, but there are more than 40,000 dead soldiers in the Ye State alone, and there are countless wounded and seriously injured. ”

"And do you like war?"

"To be honest, I don't like it. ”

"Aren't all generals supposed to like war?"

Looking at Chu Yujia's puzzled appearance, Yuan Wanyu continued: "Isn't it all because of war, generals can get the opportunity to be promoted?"

"Huh. ”

Chu Yujia chuckled and said: "Compared with the illusory promotion and title, I want to live an ordinary life with my wife and daughter, go down to the river to touch a fish, go up the mountain to hunt a bird, farm in the spring, harvest in the autumn, and in the winter, sit on the kang and drink a cup of hot tea, and have a few friends who can brag together." ”

He turned his head to look at Yuan Wanyu beside him, and said, "Don't you think that this kind of life is the real life?"

"yes. ”

Yuan Wanyu couldn't see her expression clearly with a veil on her face, but looking at the silly eyes, she knew that she actually longed for that kind of life.

"I really can't see that you, a world-famous general, would yearn for that kind of life. ”

"Or what do you think?"

"I thought that you would be like other generals, thinking about fighting every day, thinking about how to get military merit every day. ”

Yuan Wanyu smiled, turned her head to look at Chu Yujia and said, "I have to say, you are really an interesting person. ”

This is the first time I've heard that. ”

Chu Yujia didn't want to say anything more to Yuan Wanyu on this topic, so he changed his tone and said, "How long does the princess plan to stay in Ye Kingdom?"

"I don't know. ”

Yuan Wanyu shook his head slightly and said: "It mainly depends on the attitude of King Ye, if King Ye can still treat the current Later Song Dynasty like he did in the past, then I may not stay for too long, but if something happens in the middle, it will be difficult to say." ”

"Then you shouldn't stay long. ”

Chu Yujia raised his hand and gently picked up a ball from the ground that would only bloom when the spring flowers bloomed, and said: "The Later Song Dynasty and the Ye Kingdom have been friends for generations, no matter what time it is, unless the two countries are determined to go to war, otherwise the relationship between the two countries will not be broken." ”

Unconsciously, the two had been chatting for a long time, until Xiaorou couldn't stand it anymore, and after coughing lightly behind the door, Yuan Wanyu realized it.

Yuan Wanyu slowly stood up and said, "Thank you, General Chu, for chatting with me, it's not too early, I'll go back first." ”

"The eldest princess is resting, and I naturally have me outside, so I don't have to worry about safety. ”

Chu Yujia also stood up and arched his hand at Yuan Wanyu.

After nodding, Yuan Wanyu stepped into the room.

After she left, Chu Yujia walked to the window and looked out of the window.

He also didn't expect that this seemingly simple escort task would happen so many times this time.

As his prestige rose and his status grew, he could clearly feel that some crises that he had not felt before were slowly approaching him.

Standing in front of the window, Chu Yujia stood for a night, during which people kept coming back to report to him about the situation found in the east, west, south and north cities.

By the next morning, the Northwest Army had captured more than 100 suspicious people in the city, and there was good news, that is, the interrogation of Xu Gaoda's side had progressed.

After a night of interrogation, one of the Assassins finally opened his mouth and informed the rest of the Assassins of their hiding place.

At this moment, the Northwest Light Cavalry had a goal, and under the leadership of Zhuang Jiade, they wiped out the remnants of the assassins.

After Chu Yujia walked out of the Pingyang Pavilion at dawn, a large number of people were already kneeling in front of the Pingyang Mansion Pavilion.

Zhuang Jiade and Yan Tianrui walked towards Chu Yujia together: "General." ”

Chu Yujia nodded, looked up at those people and said, "How many of these people can be directly identified as fellow assassins?"

"Seventy percent. ”

"Seventy percent ......"

Chu Yujia nodded, then smiled as well, and said: "This person is also a big handicraft, he came to assassinate a woman who was powerless, and he actually sent these people, it can be seen that there are people who don't want to see the Later Song Dynasty and Ye Guo live in harmony." ”

Zhuang Jiade nodded approvingly, and then asked, "General, what now?"

I stood by the window all night last night, how to deploy today, Chu Yujia had already thought about it, glanced back at the second floor of the pavilion, and then said: "Pass the order, the whole army will be pulled, and I will leave for Yueling City today." ”

"And what about these assassins?"

Yan Tianrui asked.

"Huh?"

Chu Yujia raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't I tell you?"

Yan Tianrui was a little dazed, at this time, Zhuang Jiade hurriedly bumped Yan Tianrui with his elbow, and then said to Chu Yujia: "The last general understands." ”

"Okay, let's do it. ”

As soon as the words fell, Chu Yujia returned to the hotel again.

After Chu Yujia left, Yan Tianrui looked at Zhuang Jiade with a blank face and asked, "Lao Zhuang, what did the general say, why don't I know?"

"Why don't you say you're stupid?"

Zhuang Jiade rolled his eyes, then walked to the crowd with a war knife in his hand, and said loudly: "The general has an order, and everyone present will be killed, and the head of the item will be hung at the head of Pingyang Mansion." ”

This sentence is equivalent to pronouncing the death sentence of more than 100 people present, and for a while there were endless shouts, wails, and scolding.

Yuan Wanyu, who had just gotten up upstairs, looked at Xiao Rou who was getting dressed after her with an inexplicable face, and asked, "What happened outside?"

Xiao Rou listened carefully and said, "It seems that she is scolding the person surnamed Chu." ”

"Why are you scolding him?"

"I don't know. ”

Xiao Rou is definitely pretending to be stupid, even after experiencing yesterday's events, she doesn't want to show a good impression of Chu Yujia in front of others, let alone say a good word about him.

Seeing this, Yuan Wanyu also understood what this little girl was thinking, shook her head with a smile and said, "General Chu saved us after all, you don't have to always have this stinky face." ”

"That's what the surname Chu should do. ”

Xiaorou was still a little unconvinced.

"What should be in this world?"

Yuan Wanyu raised her hand and gently knocked on Xiao Rou's forehead and said: "In my opinion, you are a little white-eyed wolf, no matter what people say, they will save you, how can you talk about others behind your back." ”

"Okay, good, good, Xiao Rou knows that she is wrong, and the princess is taught. ”

Although Xiao Rou said so, where did she look a little wrong on her face?

Seeing her like this, Yuan Wanyu didn't say anything more.

She has been with Xiaorou for more than ten years, and she doesn't know much about her as a guard, although she says so, but her heart has actually changed.

Under Chu Yujia's order, the northwest light cavalry acted in unison, and after packing up the camp tent and other things, they all entered the Pingyang Mansion.

After the assassins and those suspected of being assassins were killed, there was not even a single person to collect the corpses, only their heads were taken away and hung above the north gate of Pingyang Mansion, so that their bodies were trampled into flesh by the iron hooves of war horses after the Northwest Army rode into the city.

This scene also happened to be seen by Yuan Wanyu.

She has never experienced the battle on the battlefield, let alone the cruelty on the battlefield.

But this scene really frightened her a lot.

And when they left, almost all the city was full of abuse, and without exception, all of them were Chu Yujia's ancestors of the eighteenth generation......
