Chapter 233
The air was fresh in the morning, and An Xu opened the windows on both sides of the tent, and a small wind blew in, making him feel quite comfortable.

The army rested today, and Zong Che hadn't woken up at this time. An Xu opened the window and went out to bring a plate of fresh fruit, which could cleanse the stale air overnight.

The news of Feng Wang was sent in at this time.

Zong Che sat on the bed and watched, with a smile on his lips.

An Xu sat over and asked, "What's the good news?"

Zong Che reached out to hold her in his arms, and showed her the kraft paper used to deliver the news.

An Xu:? ? ?
"Do you want to be a prince?"

Otherwise, there is nothing funny about such news.

Zong Che said with a smile: "There is nothing to be a prince. Emperor Shuntai is stupid. The Zhou Dynasty is already in a precarious state. I want to take you to sit on the dragon chair."

As soon as these words came out, all An Xu could think of was the bloody battles between the royal families in various TV dramas. The emperor and the empress were not husband and wife at all.

An Xu didn't want the marriage relationship he managed so easily to be destroyed by power.

"The world is in chaos, and the people suffer the most."

Zong Che could tell at a glance that she was not keen on the dragon chair, and said, "Xu'er, don't you want to go back and send back all the humiliation you suffered back then?"

Even if his baby can endure and forget, he will never forget.

Especially the concubine who deliberately lured Xu'er to the vicinity of the Leng Palace.

When Zong Che brought Xu'er to the northern border, he had already decided the ending for him.

An Xu raised his eyes and looked at his beautiful chin, but he didn't hide his thoughts, "I just don't want our peaceful life to change because of power."

On the other hand, she has no confidence in herself in her heart. Now that she likes Zong Che, she occasionally has some hidden worries about gains and losses.

Now Zong Che is the chief general of the northern border. When they go to Fucheng on weekdays, there will always be women of all colors appearing in their sights. squeezed towards him.

An Xu doesn't want to be on guard against those, let alone his love become unrecognizable amid all kinds of temptations.

So she doesn't feel that competing for the throne in the world is something worth yearning for.

She drooped her eyes silently, and Zong Che looked at her as if drinking a pot of honey.

"I see," he said with a smirk in his voice, "Xu'er is worried that I will change my mind in the future."

As he spoke, he wanted to kiss An Xu's lips.

An Xu pushed him away and said, "Times have changed, men's mouths are deceiving ghosts."

Zong Che couldn't help it, he laughed out loud, his Xun'er was too cute.

"Baby, my heart is already filled with you," Zong Che gently bit her ear, "Don't worry, we won't"

An Xu interrupted: "You'd better not set the flag, even if you want to try something new in the future, I have the courage to cut off my wrist."

Although I want to possess the person I like alone, and live a sweet and mediocre life all the time, but the most difficult thing to control in the world is the human heart. If the other party changes, I am willing to let go from my heart.

Zong Che's heart trembled when he heard her tone, but at the same time, he felt a sense of pride. This is the woman he likes: ruthless enough.

He held An Xu's hand and kissed it on his lips, with a deep and steady voice: "Xu'er, my heart has been held in your hands a long time ago, why are you so unconfident?"

An Xu hammered him: "Who is not confident anymore."

I'm not confident that it's enough to know it in my heart, you can't say it.

Zong Che couldn't help laughing again, such days were extremely precious to him, and it would be no regret to send back all the insults she received due to her incompetence in the past.

So how could he sit on the chair that can control the world as she worried, and then turn to enjoy it with other women?
The only one who can enjoy his hard-earned things is this one.

----

Soon, An Xu clearly felt that Zong Che was preparing to return to Beijing to fight for the throne. He not only sent more troops to the border of Jiping Mansion and the southern provincial capital, but he also often led people to suppress the rebellion.

A king was sealed in the south, but it was only stable for a few days. This is completely a way to heal the foot.

With the deepening of the war, a steady stream of people poured into Jiping Mansion from the south and west.

The empty city of Jiping Mansion soon became full of vitality, and the wealthy families in it even volunteered to contribute their property to the Northern Frontier Army.

With such a large army of regular imperial troops behind, the people in the imperial city of Kyoto cast their gazes over as expected. This autumn, when the field had a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes, when An Xu had just bred the first batch of overwintering wheat seeds, the imperial court came the will.

Ask Zong Che to go south to suppress the rebellion.

For now, Zong Che is still following the imperial court's order, so he will naturally go south, and he will bring An Xu with him.

Winter is coming soon, An Xu is fine, and she wants to see how the south is doing, so Zong Che agreed as soon as he said it.

As for the northern camp, after nearly two years of operation, Zong Che's confidant from top to bottom, plus An Chong and Yan Diu are both left behind, and there is no external force that can threaten them, so they can leave with confidence. .

So one morning in late autumn, An Xu and Zong Che led [-] soldiers and marched south.

Thanks to the previously dredged river, it is much easier to go from the north to the south. You can board the boat outside Huoliang City and go all the way to Qiongzhou in the south.

Even on the boat, An Xu saw the scene of hell on earth along the way.

It was August and September, and snow was about to fall in the north, but the area south of the Qingmo River was still unbearably hot. Before long, the dry river could not sail, and the entire army needed to march on land.

On the first day of transfer to land, An Xu saw a scene that could be called a purgatory on earth. There was no green in the bare land. On the side of the road and on the dry grass, there were fallen corpses everywhere, and most of them were old people and women. people.

There are no children, it is not that children have family members to protect them from starvation, but children are tender and will be snatched away by those who are hungry and red-eyed when they die.

An Xu didn't know this at first, but when Zong Che asked a group of soldiers to cover their mouths and noses and carried away the corpses on the road to bury them, she heard a few soldiers whispering.

The people who saw the worst suffering were nothing more than the hungry people in the African grasslands. The current scene made An Xu really unacceptable, and he had several nightmares that night.

The next day, she was also a little weak, but fortunately, Zong Che didn't want to ride a horse anymore, so she could let him take it with her.

Zong Che's heart ached so much that he would not have let her come with him if he had known the situation in the south.

In fact, if it weren't for the court's repeated grants, the people in the south would not have fallen into chaos so quickly.

After walking for another day, there were still no living people. The army walked all the way to collect the bodies of the victims who had fallen on the road.

In order to prevent the plague, when they camped and rested at night, An Xu asked people to boil several large pots of anti-epidemic soup. This was prepared by old doctor Zhang before he came, and he made two large carts separately for the soldiers carrying grain and grass.

It's just that there were too many people, and half of them went down in two nights.

The use of water is also carried by the army. For the past two days, there is only water and dry food, and there is only a small bowl of water for each person.

Even so, it won't last long.

In the evening, Zong Che called a meeting of the deputy generals and found a mountain on the marching map. He would set off in that direction tomorrow to find water on the mountain.
