Chapter 180 Princess: Isn't my surname Xi?

The situation of the Suzaku Army in Southern Shu was more serious than what Concubine Luo had expected, there were nearly tens of thousands of deserters alone.

At such a time, how could Concubine Luo sit still? On the second day, she led her own bodyguards, thinking that she would get her son-in-law Qin Shou, and hurried to the Zhuque army camp at the foot of Longshan Mountain.

It is also ironic to say that the Suzaku rebel army occupied the mountainside and the top of Longshan, while the Suzaku army who refused to rebel against the Shangguan family remained in the camp at the foot of the mountain.

I don't know whether the Shangguan brothers were intentional or unintentional. They didn't prohibit the rebels from interacting with the Suzaku army in the camp at all. Whether, even the so-called Suzaku rebels not only didn't fight each other, but also had a good relationship. Still communicating in secret.

Concubine Luo met Qin Shou at the gate of the Prince's Mansion in Southern Shu. He seemed to have expected that Concubine Luo would go over to have a look in person, so he was dressed in a neat narrow-sleeved slanted-breasted shirt, very energetic.

Concubine Luo paused when she stepped out of the threshold, and looked at him blankly, clearly she never invited the son-in-law to go with her.

Qin Shou folded his arms and leaned against the edge of the door, his phoenix eyes drooped, and he raised his eyes slightly when he saw Concubine Luo, "Princess don't need to be grateful, Kyushu also wants to see what kind of soldiers would be deserters."

Just one sentence completely dispelled the throbbing in Concubine Luo's heart that hadn't risen in time, she sneered, "Hmph, I didn't allow you to join me."

Qin Shou shook his head, "The road is at your feet, so you don't need the princess's permission."

Concubine Luo glared at her, at this moment she was missing the expressionless and silent son-in-law in her previous life, at least she wouldn't just say a few words to make her want to kick him to death.

She passed in front of him with her head held high, to the point where she didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Longshan is only more than an hour's walk away from Rongcheng, because it was going to the military camp, Concubine Luo abandoned the carriage and rode a horse instead, she also wore clothes with pinched waist and narrow sleeves today, with a hakama in the style of Hufu, Dressed in water red, bright flames and heroic, she has a lot of momentum.

A group of people hurried on horseback, and in about an hour, they arrived at the Zhuque Camp at the foot of Longshan Mountain. The two soldiers guarding the gate looked sleepy, and they were breathing something together with their heads down, breathing out smoke, and their spirits were listless.

Concubine Luo winked at Guard Gu, and Guard Gu drew his horse closer and said sternly, "Presumptuous! The princess is here, so hurry up to meet her!"

The two soldiers turned their heads to look at the guards, then leaned over to look at Concubine Luo and the others behind them, one of them sneered, "Where did the princess come from, you dare to lie to Grandpa, you don't want to live anymore?"

Guard Gu was furious, he drew his sword clang, and pointed at the soldier with a swipe, "If you speak rudely, you will be cut off!"

As he said that, he flipped his wrist, and the sword was about to fall in front of him.

The two young soldiers stood up abruptly, grasped the long daggers, and ran towards the camp, shouting, "Come on, the enemy is attacking!"

Gu Shiwei's complexion was ashen, a good battalion of elite soldiers and strong generals, but now they are so self-sufficient and depraved.

Guard Gu followed into the camp, but he was still two or three feet away when the Hula Suzaku army rushed up, each holding a long dagger, with hesitation on their faces.

Guard Gu looked around, after all, there were only a small number of people who looked like the gatekeeper. Although the eyes of the majority of soldiers were not firm, they were still energetic.

He took out the Tiger Talisman of the Suzaku Army from his pocket, raised his hand and shouted loudly, "Here is the Tiger Talisman, the lieutenant and supervising army should come out quickly!"

Concubine Luo rode her horse and approached slowly just now, she was a foot away from guard Gu, her brows were cold and majestic, she looked coldly at the group of soldiers dismounting from the horse.

"The tiger talisman is here, the lieutenant and the supervising army have to come out quickly!" Seeing that no one responded, Guard Gu shouted again.

The Suzaku army who surrounded them looked at each other, and then they became bolder and said, "Who are you? There are no captains or supervisors in the battalion now."

Concubine Luo raised her eyebrows flatly, "I am Concubine Luo, the eldest princess, and this is my son-in-law, Prince Rong of Rongzhou, Qin Shou."

Concubine Luo's voice was cold, although her voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by the people around her.

Immediately, all the Suzaku troops hesitated for a moment, and then knelt down. At first, the soldier looked at Concubine Luo with a sad face and cried, "The humble ranks are finally looking forward to the princess and son-in-law."

To these words, all the Suzaku soldiers were silent, and for a moment the gate of the camp was chilled and quiet, and a wave of sadness quickly spread from it, and there was a young man who couldn't hold it back, and the dignified boy was on the spot. Eyes are red.

Concubine Luo's eyes narrowed, "Who is in charge of the camp now?"

All eyes turned to the little soldier who spoke first, and the more people came out, he said, "Princess Hui, there are still military officers in the battalion now, only the humble officer and the other brother Paozhe." .”

"Xiaozhi used to be a commander of a thousand commanders, and another brother was a commander of a centurion. The previous peaks were all on the top of Longshan Mountain, and now the battalion is full of ordinary soldiers." The commander said with difficulty.

Concubine Luo frowned, she didn't expect the brothers of the Shangguan family to be so ruthless, they turned against all the Suzaku troops who had military status, if she came later, I'm afraid that she would not only have to face the problem of deserters , and the remaining Suzaku army, who have been in constant contact with the previous Shangfeng, may one day be reversed together, and by then, the good Suzaku army will inevitably be torn apart.

Concubine Luo's face was expressionless, she felt troubled in her heart, and she didn't dare to show it, she nodded at the commander, "You, and the centurion, bring the roster in the camp and come with me .”

After saying that, she went to the vacant main tent first, and Qin Shou walked alongside her. He paid more attention to the remaining Vermilion Bird Army, and soon frowned.

Several people in Shouyang swiftly cleaned up the main account. Concubine Luo was sitting in front of the desk. She flipped through the roster in front of her and turned a few pages, but saw countless names crossed on each page.

Pointing to one of the names, she asked, "What does the crossed out mean?"

The commander lowered his head and said, "They went to the mountainside or the top of Longshan Mountain. I felt that they should not be confused, so I marked them first."

Hearing this, Concubine Luo instantly lost interest in reading any more. She closed the roster, pursed her pink lips, and was speechless for a long time.

The commander-in-chief hesitated for a while, and asked hesitantly, "I wonder if the princess will bring next year's food and luggage with her when she comes this time?"

Concubine Luo looked over sharply, "What do you mean by that?"

The captain was a seven-foot man, and he almost cried when he heard Concubine Luo's question, "To tell you the truth, the princess, there is no food or pay in the camp, brothers can't live any longer."

"Crack!" Concubine Luo slapped her palm on the desk, "Speak carefully."

The commander twisted his sleeves and wiped his eyes, "The upper peaks have already transported all the food and luggage in the camp up the mountain, so the brothers have been hungry all the time, and there are brothers who can't stand it every night." They sneaked up the mountain and never came down after going up, and some brothers simply became deserters..."

This kind of misery, even Qin Shou couldn't stand it anymore. He was also the leader of the army, and he knew the temperament of these men on the battlefield best. Now he was forced to such a degree by the Shangguan brothers. The trick is really ruthless.

If things go on like this, sooner or later these soldiers will rebel, and at that time, the entire south of Shu, even the king of Shunan, will have to give way by three points.

Concubine Luo was even more furious, she snorted coldly, "What a remnant of the Shangguan family, I will definitely kill you this time."

However, she still knew that this would solve the feeding problem of these tens of thousands of people, she tapped on the edge of the table with her fingers, "I remember that the late emperors set up granaries in various states for emergency use."

Qin Shou secretly admired Concubine Luo for being able to think of this in an instant. He turned his head to look at her and said, "Yes, there is one in Rongzhou, and the granary on the southern side of Shun is in Rongcheng."

With Qin Shou's affirmation, Concubine Luo became more confident. She remembered that before leaving Beijing, Qin Shou had reminded her to ask the emperor's brother for a few blank imperial edicts with only a seal on it, and she didn't want it to come in handy so soon.

She ordered Gu Shiwei, "Follow the imperial decree of the emperor's elder brother with the king of Shunan, first open the warehouse and bring some grain over."

Guard Gu cupped his hands in response, "Here."

Turn around and go out to deal with the matter with Shouyang, who is keeping the imperial decree.

Settle this matter for the time being, Concubine Luo said to the commander-in-chief, "Go and talk to all the brothers, since I have come to the south of Sichuan, in the future, all those who are loyal to the Tian family will pay off the remnants of the Shangguan family. Gong will definitely reward the saints one by one, half of the credit will not be less."

The commander was overjoyed, he really didn't expect that there would be a reward in the future.

The corner of Concubine Luo's mouth showed a slight smile, she winked at Mingyu, and said, "Before I came here, Pao Ze from the Suzaku camp in the suburbs of Beijing heard that I was going to come to the south of Sichuan, and there were many young men from the camp. I wrote a letter from home, saying that I wanted to chat with my brothers here, and Ben Gong brought it along with me, and you also took it out and gave it away one by one."

Ming Xi cleverly took off the small package on his back and stuffed it into the commander's hand. Seeing that he was still in a daze, he couldn't help teasing, "What's the matter? Don't you want it?"

"Yes, yes, even a lowly position!" The commander came back to his senses, and suddenly saw that the person talking to him was a beautiful maid, his eyes straightened for a moment, it was Ji Xia who pulled Mingyu back, the commander was still blushing ran out.

Seeing that people had left, and the main tent was full of her own people, Concubine Luo scolded coldly, "There is nothing good in Shangguan's house, both the dead and the living. If I don't kill Shangguan's remnants, I won't kill you." Surname Xi."

Qin Shou glanced at her indifferently, and reminded, "The princess has no surname."

Concubine Luo was stunned for a moment, but did not realize what Qin Shou meant by these words.

Qin Shou lifted his thin lips and spit out three words, "Qin Xishi."

Isn't that what she is, as Concubine Rong, she has a marriage certificate to testify, and she always has the surname Qin in front of her wherever she goes.

She gritted her teeth secretly, snorted a few times, rolled her black and white eyeballs, and the peach blossom eyes showed a cold and charming look, "Since this is the case, the son-in-law should do his best to solve my palace's worries and problems, otherwise..."

She paused, and glanced at him contemptuously from the end of her bright eyes, "What's the use of marrying you?"
