Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 446 Chu Ran: Aunt, why are you here?
"The rumors are inherently exaggerated, and besides, people in the Song Dynasty liked to exaggerate the most. From my humble opinion, they cannot be taken seriously."

As soon as Timur finished speaking, a Jinxia general said indifferently.

The generals who came to attack the Song Dynasty this time were all veterans of Jinxia. Not long after Gaoliao was defeated, they took over Youzhou without any effort. It was exactly when their confidence was extremely high and their morale was at its highest. How could they be really defeated just now? The words of the Dingxian magistrate were frightening.

"General, even if what the Song officer said just now is true, what do our troops have to fear? Our soldiers are all warriors of the Jinxia. They are strong and strong and invincible. Before going on the expedition, we were blessed by the Khan and won God bless you, Chen Mo is vulnerable to our army." A general with a rough face and a small scar at the corner of his eye said confidently.

This man's name was Yelu Tongku, and he was the number one general under Tamerlane. He had made great achievements in the war against Gaoliao.

He had deep doubts about what the Song official said just now.

After all, Song Taizu, who suppressed Jin Xia four hundred years ago, was only a middle-grade warrior in his weak years.

In his opinion, perhaps it was Chen Mo who used some means on the battlefield to suddenly turn a battle that should have been a failure into a victory, and it was only through the exaggerated words and word-of-mouth bragging of the Song people that the battle became a victory. It's like this now.

Timur did not speak, but looked at the man in brocade robes who was the first on the right column below and said, "My lord, what do you think?"

Tuoba Zhu, the prince of Jinxia, ​​was also the supervisor sent by Jinxia Khan to the Eastern Route Army, and was the eyes and ears of Jinxia Khan.

Concubine Chu Ran's family was often married to the Xiao family, so there was still a deep connection between Chu Ran and Xiao Yunxi.

"In that case, I will tell you my humble opinion." Tuoba Zhu paused slightly, as if he was organizing his words, and then said: "This time the troops are sent out, the general has agreed with General Xia Ji to capture Youzhou and Long. On the right rear, they joined forces in Huaizhou, attacked Tianchuan together, captured the Emperor of Song alive, and annexed the Song Dynasty.

Men worry about family and country affairs, while women take care of family and personal affairs.

Not to mention that Xiao Yunxi was once Princess Huai.

At this moment, Chu Ran was sitting in a daze on the stone bench in the courtyard. She was wearing a floral skirt, holding up her pink cheeks, and looking at the sky boredly.

Like all generals, Timur did not take Chen Mo too seriously. Even if what the Song official said was true, judging from the current situation in the Song Dynasty, they themselves had too much to worry about. How could they stop the warriors of Jinxia? .

In the past half month, Chu Ran had lived in fear every day, fearing that one day Chen Mo would come over and ask her to sleep with him.

After all, it was 200,000, which was several times theirs in terms of military strength.

The biggest fear is disagreement. I was a little frightened when I heard what Song Guan said just now.

Hearing this, Timur felt a little calmer. All generals are confident to fight without fear. This state is very good.

Therefore, this northern land is the only way for us to pass through. In this case, no matter whether what Song official said is true or not, if Chen Mo blocks our army, we will have to deal with it. What General Yelu said just now makes sense. Our army has strong soldiers and horses, has won consecutive battles, and the soldiers are as powerful as a rainbow. However, the Song Dynasty is in civil strife and has too much time to take care of each other. Even if we face Chen Mo, our army can win with one blow. "

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? You are very resourceful, and I will have to learn more from you in the future." Timur said with a smile.

It has been almost half a month since Chu Ran came to Xiangyang City, and Xiao Yunxi has not even visited it once, which is not justified both emotionally and rationally.

So Xiao Yunxi found some time to visit Chu Ran in Tongque Garden.

Xiao Yunxi and Chu Ran are related to each other.

After hearing what Timur said, Tuoba Zhu did not put on any airs of a prince, but stood up and cupped his hands towards Timur, saying: "The Khan said that the Song Dynasty will be conquered here, so I will obey you, general." It’s up to the general to act according to his orders.”

She felt like there was a knife on her neck, but the knife didn't move.

Sometimes she thinks about it.

Instead of being so worried, it would be better to have fun. At worst, it's like being bitten by a dog.

The early summer sunshine was very comfortable on her body. Chu Ran's whole body was bathed in a hazy halo. The neon clothes wrapped in gauze hung lightly on her body, and the close-fitting clothes underneath were faintly revealed. Her exposed skin was white and blurred, and she looked pretty. There was a blush on his face.

This made her close her eyes and feel the breeze blowing by her ears.

When she opened her eyes again, a graceful and mature face appeared in front of her.

Their eyes met, and the world in Chuxia's small courtyard seemed to freeze at this moment.

"your Highness."

"Aunt?"

"I'm not a princess anymore."

"I'm no longer a princess, so don't call me aunt."

After the awkward conversation between the two, the courtyard fell into complete silence.

Chu Ran had met Xiao Yunxi before, on the latter's wedding day. Prince Huai was the late emperor's younger brother and Chu Ran's uncle, so she called Xiao Yunxi aunt.

When they met again, Chu Ran naturally called him by this familiar name.

"Aunt, why are you here?" Although Xiao Yunxi didn't ask her to call her aunt just now, she didn't know how to call Xiao Yunxi other than aunt.

"I heard that you came to Xiangyang some time ago. I was a little busy at the time and never came to see you. Now that I'm done, I'm coming to see you." Even though Chu Ran called Aunt Xiao Yunxi, the two of them were not much different. age.

"Oh"

After Chu Ran snorted slightly, he didn't know what to say.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward again, Xiao Yunxi hurriedly asked Xiao Zheng to call Chu Ran "sister".

"Sister." Xiao Zheng said in a sweet voice.

Chu Ran also took the opportunity to touch Xiao Zheng's head and said, "Aunt, this is Zheng'er, right? How old is it?"

"Two and a half years old." As she said that, Xiao Yunxi deliberately erased the connection between Xiao Zheng and Prince Huai and said, "Zheng'er's surname is now Xiao, and his name is Xiao Zheng."

Hearing this, Chu Ran was stunned for a moment, and then said with some understanding: "Did he force Auntie to change it?"

"No." Xiao Yunxi shook her head: "This is my own idea."

Chu Ran was a little puzzled and couldn't help but ask: "Aunt, don't you and Uncle Wang have any feelings at all? Or..."

"Zheng'er, you go aside to play first, remember not to run around." Xiao Yunxi interrupted Chu Ran, and then told the accompanying maid to look after Zheng'er.

After Xiao Zheng walked aside, Xiao Yunxi laughed to herself and said: "There is no emotion in a political marriage."

A trace of surprise flashed across Chu Ran's eyes, but he reacted very quickly and forced himself to calm down, saying: "Is it true that you betrayed Uncle Wang, as reported outside?"
