Chang'an is good

Chapter 632 Must Kill Her
Cui Jing never thought that he would hear such words at such a moment.

As for their future, he had thought about it. Should he express his feelings to her? What time and place? Because it was her, these were all issues that needed to be treated with great caution.

Besides, how would she react?
In other words, her future identity determines that she must weigh the pros and cons of many aspects when doing things, including the person standing next to her... Will he fit her choice?

Cui Jing had no answer. He was always meticulous and rarely had no answer at all. However, everything related to her was like clouds and wind, which could never be speculated or defined.

Even though there is no answer, it does not affect his decisions. He has never sought perfection, but only contentment.

Moreover, at this critical moment, there was no room for his inappropriate and shallow feelings, so he concealed them well and did not disturb anything.

But at this moment... without any warning, she responded to his meticulous love that he had never expressed in words in this way.

She responded whenever she wanted, and didn't care whether he said it out loud or not - for her, the fact that Cui Jing liked her was proven by heaven and earth and no one could deny it, not even himself.

Cui Jing suddenly realized that this unprecedented response was exactly what she should do.

She has always been cautious in every step, but she has always followed the principle of exchanging sincerity for sincerity. Her emotional world has never been tainted by complexity. Whether it is family, friendship, or teacher-student relationship, she has always kept a pure place in her heart, first distinguishing its authenticity and then properly placing it. Trust yourself first, then trust others, this is her confidence.

Hate is hate, like is like, and if she likes something, she must act decisively. She cannot be bound by the weighing of interests. She is never bound by so-called rules. She only breaks the rules and makes them.

She does not shy away from what is right or wrong, and does not care about gains and losses. Her response is warm, bold, pure, self-centered, clear, and grand.

The emperor’s spouse, these four words, how precious they are.

To bystanders, this is the value of status.

To Cui Jing, this was a precious token of his thoughtfulness.

Born into the prosperous Qinghe Cui family, he was a child of destiny, born in a high position. He first developed a proud literary mind, and then forged a strong character through military exploits. Power and status were never worth pursuing for him, and being the wife of an emperor was also insignificant. But because it was her, this status became the most solemn response and the most moving promise in the world.

She made him a promise, and at the same time asked him for a promise. She wanted him to survive safely, to witness and share everything she was bound to take back.

At this moment, she leaned over with her hands behind her back, a little closer to him. Cui Jing seemed to feel enveloped by the moonlight. The most divine and sacred moonlight descended on him and became hot.

The clear lake in the young man's eyes was stirring in this cool spring night.

Li Suining smiled and said to him, "Cui Jing, I will wait for your triumphant return in the capital."

"Grand Commander..." Yuan Xiang behind Cui Jing tried to speak in a low voice, "His Highness is talking to you..."

If the Grand Commander didn't respond, what if Her Highness the Princess took back her words? Then he would cry to death!
Cui Jing raised his hand in a trance and replied: "Cui Jing, I obey your command."

Li Suining smiled with satisfaction and stretched out a hand to him. Cui Jing's heart was beating like a drum. He held her hand, straightened his body, stood in front of her, lowered his eyes to look at her, and gradually revealed in his eyes the feelings that he finally dared to show openly to the public.

The people at the back stood up, many of them still staring with eyes wide open in disbelief - so, what did they hear just now?

Fireworks were exploding in everyone's hearts, crackling and emitting brilliant sparks, but the more this happened, the less people dared to say a word.

Li Suining set off immediately as instructed. While she was waiting for Xue Fu's army to return to the camp, Cui Jing had already selected 10,000 soldiers and horses to accompany her.

Finally, he personally brought her a horse and said to her, "Your Highness, please go south without any worries. You don't have to stop for a moment and look back. I will arrange everything for you."

"Okay, got it." Li Suining jumped onto the horse lightly, gave him one last smile, and rode away.

Adian, Shecai, Kangzhi, Tang Xing and others all accompanied them. Shecai and Kangzhi had never been to the capital city before, and when they thought about the purpose and destination of this trip, they were all excited and excited, yet extremely vigilant and solemn - this was the last battle.

After watching the leading cavalry leave, Cui Jing turned around to arrange the next things. As soon as he turned around, he said, "Generals, please come into the tent to discuss matters with me...", but before he finished speaking, he was surrounded and drowned by the sudden congratulations.

"Grand Commander, I congratulate you!"

"Congratulations, General!"

"The general is going to be the emperor's husband!"

"..."

Cui Jing tried his best to make himself look normal enough, but... it was really difficult.

Most people did not hear what Li Suining said. They were shocked when they heard it and gathered around to ask what was going on.

Gong Dou and Yuan Xiang were the first to repeat the Crown Princess's words loudly, and then... the congratulations became even louder.

Jiang Tai turned to the generals in the rear and shouted, "Brothers! The next battle must be won quickly so that General Cui can return to the capital to be the emperor's husband! Don't keep the princess waiting for too long!"

"That's right, pass the order down, everyone cheer up!"

"Hurry, hurry, go and pass the message!"

Everyone generally didn't think there was anything wrong with this. The princess had spoken personally, so it would help boost morale!

"..." Cui Jing couldn't stay any longer and left.

"Grand Commander!" Yuan Xiang came up and pointed out the direction: "You've taken the wrong road, the big tent is over there!"

Cui Jing paused: "...I know, just take a walk."

Yuanxiang smiled and did not expose the truth. He followed his commander-in-chief back to the tent.

However, when they arrived in front of the tent, Yuan Xiang raised his hand and wiped his tears: "Grand Commander, I am really happy for you. It has not been easy for you to come here... Fortunately, Your Highness has not let you down."

"..." Cui Jing glanced at his subordinate who seemed to be crying at his wedding with a strange expression, and strode into the tent.

The morale of the army was so high as a result, that even Chang Sui'an, who arrived later, noticed it immediately.

Chang Sui'an came here with his sister - after Li Suining returned, he gathered 50,000 soldiers from the northern border and sent them here. Chang Sui'an was escorting supplies in the rear, so he was half a day late.

Chang Sui'an's eyes were red and swollen. It was nothing else but tears of joy that he saw his sister return safely. He then talked to his sister about his life experience and was glad that his sister had become a real sister. He was even happier. He cried for seven or eight days and only today did he show any signs of stopping.

As soon as he entered the military camp, he heard that his sister had already left. Chang Sui'an hurriedly asked, "Where is Commander Cui?"

This time he would have to face Prince Rong in the capital. He wondered how many people Ning Ning had taken with him. Was it enough? He wanted to ask Commander Cui if he needed him to lead his troops and follow immediately!

Chang Sui'an, who was worried about his sister, inevitably heard some congratulatory words on his way to find Cui Jing.

Chang Sui'an spent a lot of effort to finally understand what was going on, but he still widened his eyes in disbelief: "You mean, Ningning promised in person that she would make...General Cui...her husband?!" Chang Sui'an subconsciously asked: "General Cui...promised?!"

"It's natural!"

"Why is General Chang so surprised?" Yuan Xiang, whose face was full of the word 'dowry', said: "When we were in the capital earlier, the Grand Commander expressed his feelings!"

Chang Sui'an: "But then..." Isn't this just acting?

So General Cui...could he be forced into a task?

Thinking of this possibility, Chang Sui'an panicked for a moment, but the next moment, he couldn't help but twist his elbow inward...

Ning Ning was going to choose a husband for the Emperor anyway. His sister was the best in the world, so she should be matched with the best man in the world. Commander Cui's appearance, figure, upbringing, temperament, ability... were all the best. It seemed natural for Ning Ning to choose such a man to be her husband for the Emperor... It was very reasonable.

Then he would go and test the attitude of General Cui... If necessary, he would keep a close eye on the General and persuade him.

Anyway, the commander-in-chief is not at a disadvantage, so why not obey Ningning!

Chang Sui'an felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so he calmed himself down and went to see Cui Jing.

The camp was exceptionally lively that night. After finishing his business, Yuan Xiang wrote a letter and sent it back to Taiyuan overnight to inform Dai Changshi, Madam Lu and Cui Lang and share the good news.

There was a completely different atmosphere in the Tubo military camp.

The investigation that Mingluo had someone go to find out soon yielded results.

This result left Ming Luo unable to recover for a long time.

Chang Suining, no, Li Suining...she came back alive?
Not only did he escape death, but he also won the battle against the Northern Di. The Northern Di actually retreated!

How could this war, which was destined to leave the North devastated, end so quickly?

Ming Luo also suspected that the news was wrong, but after repeated verification, the result was consistent.

The reason why her people were able to find out the news so smoothly was because this good news had already spread in the northern border and was gradually coming here... and the speed at which the troops were marching far exceeded the speed of word of mouth among the people. According to the news, Li Suining had already arrived here to provide support!

No wonder Xuan Ce’s army also came, no wonder the morale of the Shuofang army was greatly boosted!

The Tubo King was shocked and angry when he heard the news. Wasn't the reason why he led his troops to attack because he saw that the troops in the northern border of Dasheng were being held back by the Beidi Army? What was this now?
The generals under his command also began to become restless.

Ming Luo stood up from behind the table and looked at the Tibetan king: "What if she came back alive? The Northern Di cavalry is extremely fierce. She was able to win in just half a year, which must have cost her 800 casualties while injuring 1,000 enemies—"

"Your Majesty, you have nearly 200,000 soldiers with you this time. You don't need to worry about supplies. The enemy is just an exhausted and broken army!"

"Taiyuan is right before our eyes. If we retreat now, all our efforts will be wasted." She asked firmly, "It's just a small incident now. Is Your Majesty going to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

The Tibetan king looked at her with suppressed anger in his eyes.

He also understood that this matter was not something that this Dasheng woman could influence. Before he mobilized his troops, he had of course repeatedly inquired about the war situation in the North. No one expected that the war would end so quickly, and that Dasheng would win...

He was not the kind of person who would vent his anger without thinking. The fact before him at this moment was that this war was still worth continuing, but the price he had to pay was obviously beyond his initial estimate.

The Tubo King sat down, calmed himself down, and listened to his generals analyze the upcoming battle situation.

At this moment, a scout suddenly came into the tent to report that nearly 10,000 soldiers of the enemy army had left the camp late at night and headed south.

Ming Luo stood up almost instantly and said confidently: "It's Li Suining!"

She doesn't plan to stay here to provide support, she is going straight to Gyeonggi!
"Your Majesty, send troops to intercept her immediately and make sure to kill her!" Murderous intent flashed in Ming Luo's calm eyes.

So what if she came back alive? She and the Tubo army were guarding here, and the reason why Prince Rong agreed to cooperate with her... was not to prevent the possibility that Li Suining would come back alive from Beidi, and then she could deliver the final blow?
As long as she waited here, she would never let Li Suining return to Beijing alive!

The Tubo king did not agree immediately.

He was considering whether to send troops. If Li Suining returned to Beijing, he would definitely compete with Prince Rong for the throne, which would not pose a direct threat to him for the time being.

However, this Crown Princess who returned alive from the North was of extraordinary significance. She could boost the morale of the Northern Army and even recruit more forces... He had already witnessed this.

Killing her would make the Northern army leaderless... Only in this way could he fight the next battle more smoothly.

Even though he knew the pros and cons, the Tubo King immediately sent troops, but he had an unspoken dissatisfaction in his heart.

He knew very well that what he did was equivalent to eliminating the enemy for King Rong... He was being used, and he knew who this woman was working with.

Now that he knew it, there was no need to say it out loud. He would just make a note of it.

Mingluo couldn't sleep that night.

She was waiting for news, waiting for the news that Li Suining's head had been brought back.

The sky brightened and then darkened again, until late at night the next day, when there was finally movement outside the tent.

Ming Luo hurried out of the tent, but heard the wailing of the wounded soldiers who had returned. There was noise and chaos all around. The general who was in charge of leading the troops to intercept them was covered in blood and was kneeling in front of the Tubo king to apologize.

The Tibetan king's face was darker than the night.

Ming Luo distinguished the confusing voices and gradually understood.

The more than 20,000 soldiers and horses sent out were defeated, and it was a great defeat, with more than half of them killed or wounded. It is said that the enemy had a flying fire weapon that had never been seen before.

If both sides were defeated, they would have been defeated, at least they could have inflicted heavy damage on Li Suining's men. However, they could not even get close to Li Suining's troops, and did not even damage a piece of Li Suining's clothes... Instead, they were intercepted head-on by another large army!

The one leading the army was Cui Jing.

Cui Jing...

Hearing this long-lost name, Ming Luo stood under the flickering light of the torch, clenched his fingers, slowly lowered his eyes, and looked at the flickering shadows under his feet, his eyes flickering with it.

She was very clear about her own thoughts. She was not so in love with Cui Jing in the past. There was no reason for her to love someone unconditionally and foolishly. She approached him and wanted to get him, more because he was the most outstanding and deserving best choice. To her, he was a trophy that symbolized dignity, status and superior interests.

Good night everyone~
