An Ming's words instantly broke the peace in the tent.

Gu Junheng and Lin Jinglan stood up at the same time and looked at An Ming in disbelief.

"Say what you said again?"

Gu Junheng's face was grim and he asked in a low voice.

The Western Border was the place where his father, King Jin, guarded. If the Western Border was defeated, then what about his father? A few days ago, didn’t he send news saying that everything was fine and the war with Qin was just evenly matched? For the time being, Qin could not defeat them.

But how can we just lose like that?

Lin Jinglan had a slight smile on her face, but now her face turned pale. She felt that things were getting more and more out of their control. There were many things that she and Gu Junheng could not even imagine.

"The Western Territory was indeed defeated. There was nothing wrong with the news our people passed on. It was just that they encountered obstacles on the road and failed to deliver the news in time. However, the news was only two days late. The Western Territory was breached two days ago."

An Ming's face also looked ugly. The Western Territory had already been defeated, and the situation in the Northern Territory would be very bad next. He understood this truth very well.

"I actually lost. I actually lost."

Gu Junheng sat down suddenly, his face full of disbelief.

But Lin Jinglan quickly asked the next question.

"How is my father now? Also, it is impossible for the Qin army to defeat the Western Border Army so quickly. What is the specific situation?"

Lin Jinglan's martial arts had recovered by now, and he looked no different from before, without any sign of weakness.

Prince Jin is Gu Junheng's father. Although he is not his biological father, he treats Gu Junheng better than the emperor who sits high on the throne. If we talk about father, the only one Gu Junheng truly recognizes is probably Prince Jin.

"Your Highness is not in danger of death. I heard that he was only captured by the Qin people. The reason why the Western Territory was defeated so quickly was because the Northern Qiang sent a large army to help the Qin State."

OK, OK, it’s Northern Qiang again.

Lin Jinglan was very sure that Beichen Feng would not do such a thing, so it must be the Emperor of Beiqiang.

"That's it, that's it."

Gu Junheng had been listening to An Ming's words. He was stunned for only a moment, worried for only a moment, and then he regained his composure.

"Quickly gather all the generals in the army and prepare for a war."

The Western Territory has been defeated, so the only thing left is the Northern Territory. Neither Gu Junheng nor Lin Jinglan thinks that Xu Huaian will care whether the territory of Great Chu will fall into the hands of others.

All he cares about is what he wants.

"Yes."

After An Ming left, Gu Junheng took Lin Jinglan's hand and sat down.

"Lan'er, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Gu Junheng's tone was very gentle, but Lin Jinglan's tone was extremely cold.

"Gu Junheng, I know what you want to say. You want me to leave first and give birth to our child safely, and you to face it all on your own, even if you end up being torn to pieces."

Without Gu Junheng saying anything more, Lin Jinglan understood what he was thinking.

Gu Junheng felt helpless when he heard Lin Jinglan speak first. He didn't expect that she would say it before him.

Lin Jinglan is worthy of being Lin Jinglan. No matter what time it is, he is always so smart.

"Gu Junheng, you and I once made a vow, and we also said together that no matter life or death, no matter good or bad, we must face it together. Now you see, you can't break your promise and you can't retreat."

Death? Lin Jinglan was not afraid, he just felt very unwilling. He did not expect that after living a new life, he would still be defeated by Xu Huaian. If he could drag Xu Huaian to die with him before he died, Lin Jinglan felt that he would feel more at ease even if he died.

Of course, the premise is that Gu Junheng must be by his side, regardless of life or death.

"Gu Junheng, now that my martial arts have been restored, you can't do whatever you want to me. I won't agree to it."

Seeing Gu Junheng in deep thought, Lin Jinglan was a little worried that he was thinking of some other ways, so he simply said something in advance.

"Hehe, Lan'er..."

Holding Lin Jinglan tightly, Gu Junheng smiled helplessly, but there was a lot of bitterness in this smile.

"It will take some time for the central army to discuss matters. Lan'er, since you don't want to leave, I won't force you. But next, I want to discuss something with you. If things really develop like this, you must listen to me. Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, no matter what method I use, I will survive."

Gu Junheng spoke to Lin Jinglan with an extremely serious look.

"That's right, I also have something I want to tell you."

Lin Jinglan also had some bad premonitions in his heart.

Perhaps the two of them would not end up in a dead end, but their end would be more painful than death.

The two discussed for nearly half an hour. When they came out, although they looked calm, their eyes were red.

Then the two of them smiled at each other and each of them strengthened their inner strength, making their faces paler and suppressing the redness in the corners of their eyes.

Then they held hands and walked to the central military tent together.

The war in the north with the Northern Qiang of Yan State continues every day, and people are dying every day.

Today's war had just ended, and the generals who were off duty were preparing to go back and take a short rest before the next war, but at this moment, Gu Junheng called a meeting.

The battle was intense, so it was normal to hold meetings. However, they had been waiting in the tent for nearly half an hour, and it was a bit strange to see Gu Junheng and Lin Jinglan arriving late.

Normally, Gu Junheng is never late for meetings, and although the Crown Prince's wife came with him, she has never been late either. What happened today?

And why do the two of them look so solemn?

"Greetings to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess."

All the generals stood up and saluted the two men.

Gu Junheng pulled Lin Jinglan to sit down and looked at the people present with a serious expression.

"I have called you all here today because I have something important to tell you."

Gu Junheng didn't waste any time and just said it directly.

"Western Territory was defeated, the city fell, King Jin was captured, and the 200,000-strong army was either captured, injured, or hiding. At this point, the army has become a mess."

As soon as these words were spoken, just as expected, everyone's faces changed drastically. Some people stood up in shock, wanting to say something, but they didn't know what to say.

"So I guess that the North will face the most difficult war in the future. The enemy's strength will certainly increase, and we may not be able to withstand the North."

After this sentence was spoken, no one in the tent spoke again.

There was silence in the huge tent, but at this moment, someone suddenly shouted outside the door.

"Prince, Prince, the envoys from Yan, Northern Qiang, and Qin are at the city gate, and they want to see you!" (End of this chapter)
