"It's okay, it's just some trivial military matters!" Chu Ze said calmly, then stood up and walked to her side: "How come you have time to come and see me today?"

Qin Yunyun smiled and said, "Although I am not familiar with military affairs, I know that the border issue cannot be delayed, so I came to take a look.

Moreover, when the people of Tianhaiguan heard that His Majesty was coming in person, they were all overjoyed and came to petition one after another, hoping to see His Majesty in person!"

"The people are petitioning?" Chu Ze raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "These people are not petitioning casually. You can go on my behalf. I don't have that much free time to deal with their trivial matters!"

"Your Majesty, you don't know that the people's petition is a small matter, but to them, it is a big deal!" Qin Yunyun's eyes were gentle, but her words were firm: "If you ignore it for a long time, I'm afraid they will feel resentful.

As the emperor, you don't have to do everything yourself, but showing up occasionally can also help to stabilize the people's hearts!"

After hearing this, Chu Ze pondered for a moment and finally nodded: "In that case, I will go with you!"

The two of them walked out of the tent together. When the soldiers around saw the emperor and the empress walking side by side, they all stood in awe and bowed their heads in salute.

"Keep on training, don't slack off!"

Chu Ze gave an order casually, and the soldiers immediately moved more orderly, as if they were greatly encouraged.

When they arrived at the market at Tianhai Pass, they saw the market crowded with people. When they saw the emperor coming, they fell silent and knelt down and shouted, "Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty!"

"Stand up!" Chu Ze waved his hand, his eyes sweeping across the faces of the people: "If you have something to say, just say it, no need to be polite!"

An elderly man stepped forward, tremblingly clasped his fists in salute, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask. My grandson is young and was infected with the plague a few days ago. He is almost dying. If the government hadn't sent someone to treat him in time, I'm afraid my grandson would have died. I just want to personally thank Your Majesty for your kindness and for saving my grandson's life!"

"Oh?" Chu Ze smiled slightly: "It's such a small matter, no need to thank me.

Treating illnesses and saving lives is what the court should do. Your grandson is able to recover, which means he is not doomed to die!"

The old man kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty is so kind and benevolent, and the people are grateful to you forever!"

Chu Ze waved his hand, said no more, and continued walking forward.

Common people gathered around, constantly praising the emperor's grace, but Chu Ze's heart was not too disturbed, as his mind was still on the border situation.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard a clear female voice behind me: "Your Majesty!"

Chu Ze stopped and looked back, only to see a young woman running towards him. She was dressed simply but looked anxious.

"What do you want?" Chu Ze asked calmly.

"I dare to say that I have heard that Your Majesty is invincible and brave, and I am willing to serve you!" The woman knelt on the ground with a firm tone.

"You?" Chu Ze frowned slightly: "You are just an ordinary citizen, why do you serve me?"

The woman raised her head, her eyes full of determination: "Although I am a woman, I have practiced martial arts since I was young, and I am willing to charge into battle for Your Majesty!"

Chu Ze sneered: "A mere woman, can she serve me? You should step back and stop talking nonsense here!"

The woman refused to give in and continued, "I dare not speak nonsense. If Your Majesty is willing to give me a chance, I am willing to offer my life and do my best for the Ming Dynasty!"

Chu Ze looked at her, and after a moment, he suddenly laughed out loud: "Okay! Since you are so determined, I will give you this chance! But if you can't prove yourself, I will not tolerate it!"

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately bowed in thanks: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help!"

Qin Yunyun shook her head slightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, this woman may seem very courageous, but in fact she is just a reckless person. Why bother with her?"

"Yunyun, this girl is quite courageous!" Chu Ze turned around and said with a smile: "If she is really capable, it's worth a try!"

"Your Majesty, that woman is so reckless. If she has no real talent, won't she just become a laughing stock?" Seeing the woman walking away, Lu Bing couldn't help but stepped forward and whispered. "A laughing stock?" Chu Ze smiled slightly and tapped the table with his fingers: "Lu Bing, when I killed the Mongolian Khan with one sword, everyone said that I was young and frivolous, but what happened in the end?"

"This..." Lu Bing was speechless when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty is brave and invincible, I dare not speak nonsense.

It’s just this woman.”

"Forget it!" Chu Ze waved his hand and interrupted Lu Bing: "Let me see what she is capable of.

If she really has the courage, I will not hesitate to give it a try!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Lu Bing quickly agreed.

“That’s all for today.

After you go back, continue to train the army and make sure the soldiers remain vigilant. Things on the border cannot be taken lightly!"

"I obey your command!" Lu Bing clasped his fists and bowed, then quickly retreated.

Chu Ze sat back at the desk and looked outside the tent. It was still early and the morning light was shining through the tent curtains.

Outside, the soldiers were still training, and the clanging sounds could be heard.

Chu Ze frowned slightly. Although there was no war on the border for the time being, the situation of Xixia and Mongolia joining forces always made him feel uneasy.

At this moment, Guo Huai hurried into the tent with an urgent military report in his hand.

"Your Majesty, spies at the Tianhai Pass front reported that an elite cavalry unit of the Mongolian army has been appearing dozens of miles outside the pass recently. Although they have not directly invaded, their whereabouts are strange!"

"It's Mongolia again!" A hint of coldness flashed in Chu Ze's eyes: "These barbarians really won't give up.

How many men are there in that cavalry?"

"The spies reported that there are about 2,000 cavalry.

I guess this cavalry is just bait, trying to test our army's strength!"

“Two thousand cavalrymen.” Chu Ze nodded gently: “The Mongolian cavalry is elite, good at mobility and surprise attacks.

If it was really a lure for troops, then there must be a bigger force behind the scenes waiting for the opportunity.

Guo Huai, what do you think? "

Guo Huai bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think these Mongols did not come rashly and must have a plan.

I suggest that we send out a small group of elite troops to lure them deep into our territory, then ambush them at a strategic point and cut off their route of return!"

"That's a good idea!" Chu Ze smiled slightly: "But why do you think this Mongolian cavalry is so slow to act?"

Guo Huai pondered for a moment and whispered, "Your Majesty, I dare to guess that the Mongolian army may still be watching and testing the reaction of our Ming Dynasty.

Although they have a large number of troops, they are also afraid of the solidity of Tianhai Pass and dare not act rashly! "

"Yeah, that makes sense!" Chu Ze stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth: "The Mongolian military god is dead, and now they are divided internally. It may not be easy to unify the command.

If you want to mobilize a large army, you must first ensure your chances of victory, otherwise you will only bring about your own destruction! "

"Your Majesty is wise!" Guo Huai bowed and praised. (End of this chapter)
