Strong Woman: The Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 316 Prelude to War

The child couldn't understand what he was talking about, but just hid in his arms and felt very warm. Now he was still wearing a ragged padded jacket he picked up from someone who didn't know. The weather in early spring was not very warm. The old man's arms can relieve a lot.

These days, a group of ministers surrounded the Miao Kingdom's palace every day, and they all persuaded the emperor to send troops. They said that as long as Dou Kingdom's whistle sounded, they would follow and dispatch troops, and they would surely be able to calm Tiansheng in one fell swoop.At that time, the Miao country will no longer have to look at Tiansheng's face, and then it will be able to obtain more territory.

Baojuan was wearing a palace skirt, ignoring the gazes of the ministers, and walked into the imperial study slowly, looked at Yi Shu at the table, and said with a smile, "I asked the imperial chef to make your favorite chicken soup, and you also If you are tired, why don't you make up for it?"

Her slender fingers have gradually become round now, she gently scooped up a bowl of soup for him, and placed it firmly in front of him, she was born as a maid, these things can make perfect, but Yi Shu She has been prevented from doing this, he said, how can she do such a thing now that she is a queen.

But Baojuan always just smiled, what's the point of cooking a few meals and serving a few bowls for her husband?The smile in her eyes infected Yi Shu, making him love her so much.

Baojuan wanted him to remember that she was not his only woman, but the only woman who washed her hands and made soup for her.

Yi Shu saw her coming, then took his eyes off the bag, threw the bag aside, hugged the woman on his lap, touched her belly, "How do you feel today?" Hand, "Don't be too tired, I will feel bad."

His sweet words can always speak to Baojuan's heart, but although Baojuan is useful, it never breaks his mood.

"The emperor is busy with official duties, so I won't bother you. I'll go back now." A woman who knows how to retreat is a truly smart woman.

"Wait." Yi Shu stopped her, thinking about the excerpts she had just read, Yi Shu said, "Now that the Dou Kingdom is raising troops against Tiansheng, contact us Miao Kingdom and Tuoba to send troops together. Tell me, we can't get out of this soldier?"

In fact, even Yishu himself was surprised, he would ask Baojuan these things, she is just a little girl in the harem, how can she know about military affairs, but now he really doesn't know what to do, so he will go to the doctor in a hurry .

Baojuan turned around and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, haven't you already made a decision?"

Yi Shu looked at her smile and softened her tone, "But I just don't know if this is right."

"What the emperor thinks is right," she said after a pause, "whether we send troops or not, we won't get the good, and naturally we won't get the bad, so why worry?"

Unlike Tuoba, Miao Country does not have such great ambitions, and Miao Country's strength is considered weak among several countries. If they go out in a daze, no matter who wins, Miao Country will not be able to please.

Yi Shu looked at the woman's back, smiled and drank the chicken soup.

It is a good thing to have such a woman by my side.

He was thinking like this, but he didn't know that Dou Guo had already reached the gate of Tiansheng.

Looking at the military map, Long Xinyu frowned, "Why are there no soldiers guarding such important places as the gate and the foot of the mountain?" Her anger was naturally aimed at the guards of the border town.

"Could it be that Tiansheng's military salary has been fed to dogs?" Her anger was not without reason. She watched the enemy attack her door, but she couldn't spare a force to resist. Naturally, she was unhappy. .

She is doing it for the people in the city. If there is a war, she can't take care of so much. What will the people in the city do?
The general who guarded the city was named Xu Zhou, and he was an idle official, because for so many years, Tiansheng has been worshiped by several nearby countries, who would have thought that those people would really come over.

And the place Long Xinyu mentioned just now had troops in it.But recently, the Heiyun incident was so vicious that the guards didn't want to stay there any longer, and fled back one after another. As a result, there were no sentries outside the city, and they didn't know until the enemy soldiers arrived at the city.

He wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and he didn't know how this Miss Long came to his mansion, but no one in the whole Tiansheng knew about her reputation, this matter was his dereliction of duty, but he couldn't do anything about it, But now he must not tell about that black cloud, otherwise, he is really worried that Miss Long's knife will be stuck in his belly with the backhand.

Seeing his hesitation, Long Xinyu sighed, "Gather all the people in the city who can fight together, all the troops go to the gate of the city, and take all the things that can be used as weapons. Quick!"

Seeing that she recovered so quickly and gave orders so steadily, Xu Zhou respected her a little in his heart, thinking that Long Qingshan's daughter was different.

It's just that he was stopped by Long Xinyu before he walked out of the study, "Remember to be careful, I'm afraid they have spies entering the city. Also, how long will it take for the troops from the nearby cities to gather?"

According to the reports from the spies in the past, the city where Long Xinyu is currently located is the weakest of the several nearby small cities, so it's no wonder that he will attack here tomorrow.

Frown tightly, Minger, let the horse come over and see, is it you who win or I who win.

She exuded a general's aura around her, which cheered Xu Zhou up. He didn't dare to say any more for a moment, but after thinking about it, "It will take about two to three days to gather [-] troops."

Long Xinyu frowned, and it was not impossible to delay for another two or three days. She looked at Xu Zhou and said, "Send me two people who understand the topography of this city. I want to look around."

"Yes." Now Long Xinyu has become the supreme commander of this small town.

But when she appeared in front of the soldiers, everyone was unconvinced, Long Xinyu frowned, do you have to fight with the soldiers every time you lead the army to convince them?

"Everyone is quiet. Now is the time when our heavenly saints are employing people. They, Dou, are just a small country, but they dare to attack us? They want to use our land and eat our food. Can our dignified heavenly saints bear such humiliation?"

Looking into the eyes of every soldier below, it was the exhaustion and burnout left over from not fighting for a long time, Long Xinyu shouted, "Wake up, look at the gunpowder smoke outside the city, they are about to rush in to snatch you You killed your relatives, robbed your wives and children! Can you bear such anger? Are you still men?"

Those soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to do?
"Even I, a woman, are not ashamed of you? If you have time to laugh at me, why not give yourself a reason to drive away the enemies outside and pat your chest. You can't even protect your own women and children. Are you still a man?" ?”

Those big men couldn't lift their heads one by one by what she said, she waved the military flag casually, "Defend the holy heaven, expel Dou Kou!"

"Defend the Holy Heaven, expel Dou Kou!" The soldiers followed her and shouted.

Seeing that their morale was mobilized, Long Xinyu quickly assigned tasks, divided into four groups, three groups of people mounted the tower to resist Dou's attack, and another group of people stayed behind to protect the people in the city, in case the enemy came in to hurt them common people.

Her consideration is not impossible. After all, there is nothing a ruthless woman like Ming'er can't do. She can't leave a trace of possibility for Ming'er, and she must put an end to all her schemes.

It's just that when she returned to the study, she was embraced by the person behind her. Just as she was about to make a move, she smelled a familiar aura from him, and she couldn't help being taken aback, "Why are you here?"

Tong Luoyang gently kissed the woman's face, "How dare you come here secretly for such a big matter, aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"

Long Xinyu's face fell, "The emperor wants to really punish me, but I have to wait until I drive out the invaders from the Dou country. Otherwise, if I die, who will lead the army?"

"No, I will never allow you to go to the battlefield." He knew Long Xinyu's ability, but how could he watch her take risks again? He had already vowed secretly that he would never let her leave him again. Once something happened to her, how could she survive.

Long Xinyu patted his hand, "Don't worry, I will do things properly, and I will never hurt myself."

Her voice was soft, but it didn't impress the man. Tong Luoyang hugged her recklessly, humming like a child, "No matter, I won't let you go! You won't be allowed to leave me."

Long Xinyu sighed softly, "There must be a battle between me and Minger. I am doing it for my own revenge and for you. I have never hated anyone, but I really can't bear what Minger did any longer. .Luo Yang, just let me go."

Tong Luoyang looked at the firmness in her eyes, and knew that he had no way to stop her, so he could only say, "If you want to go, I'll go with you."

Long Xinyu shook her head, "You can stay, but you must not show your face. If Ming'er finds out that you are here, who knows what she will do."

Hearing the words, Tong Luoyang had no choice but to give up. He smelled Long Xinyu's body, "You have to promise me that you will definitely come back well, and you can't let yourself get hurt." Even if Long Xinyu was even slightly injured, Tong Luoyang would not Let go tomorrow.

Listening to the report from the people below, Long Xinyu's face became gloomy again. This city is really easy to fight, because it doesn't even have any reserves, not to mention weapons, it doesn't even have food stores.Long Xinyu wondered how the daily construction of this city was done in the past, but now that the flames of war were about to ignite, she had no choice but to hope that the reinforcements would come sooner.

"You must stick to your posts at all times, and report immediately if you find anything wrong with the enemy army."

"Yes." The six guards dispersed in all directions after receiving the order.Their purpose is to keep watch. After all, this Los Angeles city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. They don't believe that Dou Kingdom has the ability to fly over like clouds and fog.

But Long Xinyu has a destiny, and they dare not disobey. After all, the methods of this future queen empress are swift and resolute, and they have heard about it for a long time.

Long Xinyu looked at the topographic map in her hand and frowned. Tong Luoyang knocked on the door and walked in with the people behind her, "Yu'er, someone is looking for you."

When Long Xinyu looked up, she saw that it was Lan Gu, and hurriedly said, "Why are you here?"

When Tong Luoyang was sailing on a sea boat, he saw this woman by her side, but he didn't know her origin. Seeing that the two of them were indeed acquainted, he turned around and left the house without asking any further questions.

Lan Gu looked into Long Xinyu's eyes, "Miss, Lan Gu is here to give you a gift."

"Gift? Where did this gift come from?"

Long Xinyu was a little puzzled, and didn't bother to ask about Hongyun, so Lan Gu took out five soldier symbols from her hand, "This is the soldier symbol of Tiansheng's four cities in the north and one city in the south, and now there are 13 soldiers and horses Just gather under the city and wait for Miss to dispatch."
