Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 570 Little People

Nan Zhen only smiled and did not respond.

The two of them hadn't been close for a while. They traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, and often had to deal with military reports from Baixiong Pass, understand the enemy's situation, and study strategies, but they couldn't have any tender thoughts.

Tonight, his mind could finally relax a little. He was holding his lover in his arms, making him reluctant to let go.

Xiao Rongxi looked into the smiling eyes in front of her and did not wait for her answer. After putting her on the bed, she covered her body.

The bed curtains swayed slightly, and the shadows of the lamps also swayed.

The night spreads, and the main tent of Liang Guo's military camp, which is a hundred miles away, is full of people, who have not yet rested.

The tall, muscular man sat cross-legged behind a low table, his brows furrowed, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a bit of ridicule and disdain.

His aquiline eyes fell on the documents in front of him, as if he wanted to decipher the neat words.

After a long while, he finally said, "Is this all the information about this person?"

"Back to the general, this is all the information about the beautiful concubine. Everything from her birth to her entry into the palace is listed here. It's hard to find out what happened after she entered the palace. I just heard that she was not favored before, but I don't know later. How could he capture the heart of the Emperor of Zhou and be able to indulge him in every possible way?"

Even if you go on an expedition, you should take it with you.

His tone was somewhat disdainful, and he looked down upon such behavior.

What's the point of having a woman by your side when men are fighting on the battlefield?

To the civil servants who live in a comfortable nest, beauty is a plus in their sleeves, but to the generals who are enjoying the wind and rain, beauty is a disaster and a drag.

Although his stance was different before, he still had some admiration for the Emperor of Zhou. After this incident, this admiration disappeared.

Ma Jing raised his head, looked at the smile on his subordinate's face, and raised the corner of his mouth, but he stopped it after a moment, and his face became serious, as if the smile just now was just an illusion, "Remember I told you, don't underestimate anyone. people."

Sometimes the person who breaks a delicate game is often such a small person.

Liang Jun has been planning for a long time, how could he not pay attention to Xiao Rongxi?

According to what he knew, this person was not someone who would be easily seduced by beauty. He didn't believe that Xiao Rongxi brought Nan Zhen with him just to relieve his boredom——

At least now, he doesn't believe it.

Ma Jing lowered his head and pointed to a line of words in front of him, "Here, 'I have been in the palace for more than a year, but I have not been favored. Once I accept the favor, I will be more popular than the two concubines.' What happened in the middle?"

Li Shize was stunned and thought for a moment, "Maybe it was a harem fight. What methods were used?"

This kind of thing is not new in the harem. Ma Jing's insistence on it made him beat a drum secretly in his heart.

Could it be that there is some secret to it?
"Maybe?" Ma Jing snorted, "When can such uncertain words appear in the military?"

He has a keen personality and is good at making fuss about the subtleties. His judgments are correct seven or eight times out of ten. This time, he will not let go of doubts easily.

Li Shize was intensely stared at by him and immediately said, "General, forgive me, my subordinates will conduct a more detailed investigation."

"Ah."

Ma Jing nodded and saw that he was about to walk out of the tent, and suddenly asked, "There has been no news from the other side in the recent period?"

"No," Li Shize said, "The blockade on the other side is strict, and with the emperor's arrival, the control is tight. In order to avoid being exposed, the other side has not sent any news for half a month."

He paused and suddenly frowned, "General, this person won't defect in front of the battle, will he?"

Ma Jing relaxed his brows and said in a smooth tone, "No."

Something happened to King Chen and the Yu family collapsed. Zongbei investigated the evil spirits from top to bottom. It was normal to be cautious.

Now the other side has no one to rely on except them. Even if they take the initiative to surrender to Zongbei, they can't erase what has been done.

If he continues to cooperate with them, he will still have the opportunity to enjoy glory after the success is achieved. If he defectes in battle, the only thing waiting for him is jail, and even his wife, children and children will not be spared.

Ma Jing: "It's not us who should be worried now, but him. If we become impatient and casually reveal a little bit of information to Dazhou's spies, he will be unable to bear the consequences."

"That's what the general said." "Just wait patiently. I think there should be more news in a few days."

Li Shize nodded, clasped his fists at the person on the throne, then turned around and left the tent.

There was only one person left in the camp, Ma Jing.

He took out a roll of parchment with broken corners from the compartment of the cabinet behind him and slowly spread it out under the lamp.

This is a defense map about Baixiong Pass. He drew it himself based on the news from the other side. Although it is not complete, it is of great reference value.

After he feels it more clearly and digs the passage deeper, he can raise his troops to launch the final attack.

This battle has been going on for too long, much longer than anyone imagined.

It was originally planned to enter the White Bear Pass within two months, but they did not expect to encounter such stubborn resistance from the opponent. If it continues to be delayed, the military will be exhausted, which will be detrimental to the war.

……

The next morning, the sky was filled with white fog.

After breakfast, the group set out for the camp.

Zongbei had sent someone to clean up the camp the day before. After a little tidying up, he took Xiao Rongxi on a tour of the camp.

His Majesty's presence was known everywhere, excitement was written directly on his face, his hands seemed to have endless strength, and even the shouts on the training ground were louder than usual.

Xiao Rongxi leaned on the railing and looked out. He saw white snow like sand, yellow sand like snow, misty mountains in the distance, and smoke. Each of the soldiers was a bright color that could not be ignored in the world.

He glanced around, then looked at the arena in the southeast corner of the training ground and asked, "What is that for?"

Zongbei: "Your Majesty, due to the delay of the war, the soldiers may be tired and distracted, so there will be an arena fight every five days. Everyone from generals to ordinary soldiers can participate. The winners will receive generous rewards to maintain their strength." state."

This kind of thing is not new, but it is a rare pastime for soldiers who prepare for war every day.

It can be improved without losing fighting spirit due to the protracted war.

Xiao Rongxi nodded: "Not bad."

"Speaking of which, tomorrow is the time for the competition. Your Majesty and your concubine can come and visit."

Xiao Rongxi: "When will it start?"

"Everyone is very concerned about this matter," Zong Bei said with a smile, "It will start at about nine o'clock and end at about three o'clock."

Xiao Rongxi nodded, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a small soldier holding a red tassel gun and running past his sight to join the large training force, so he turned back and smiled at Nan Zhen.

This person is none other than Wei Yan.

Yesterday evening she found Zongbei and asked to join the training disguised as a soldier.

Zongbei immediately refused.

He had indeed tested Wei Yan's skills twice, but he still did not dare to put her in danger easily.

Her intentions were true, but Zongbei had to consider her identity.

Zongbei admired General Wei and naturally did not want his only grandchild to face the battlefield, not to mention that she had no experience in the military.

Even though Wei Yan repeatedly stated that she did not need special treatment, Zong Bei never relented.

Finally, after Xiao Rongxi nodded, he reluctantly agreed.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you will be greeted eventually."

Xiao Rongxi: "No need. You also saw the letter from General Wei yesterday. Special treatment is not necessarily good. Let her undergo all the training she deserves."

As a new recruit, Wei Yan entered the reserve camp. The camp was filled with people of about the same age as her, and she was also the last to go into battle in the entire camp. If something happened, she and Nan Zhen would be there before her.
