But Emperor Liang did not let the crown prince out, but instead asked Prince Yu to be responsible for welcoming him. This made Prince Yu feel extremely complicated, as he was in a dilemma and felt very uncomfortable.
Emperor Liang's actions did not stop there. After the Southern Chu delegation arrived in Beijing, he also issued an edict, ordering Mu Nihuang to return to the southern border to garrison.
Mu Nihuang herself certainly did not want to leave, because there were several people she cared about most in the capital, but she could not object to Emperor Liang's order and could only accept it.
…………
It has been drizzling for more than a day.
Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu stood under the eaves, quietly watching the raindrops falling outside.
"Nihuang is going back to the South Territory, did you know?"
"Oh, it's better to go back to the South Territory. The capital is a big vortex and it's not a good place."
Mei Changsu looked at Zhou Chen who had no reaction and sighed softly.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about me. I can sense that Nihuang treats you..."
"Stop it, Xiao Shu, you also know me, so there is no need to say the following."
"Ugh."
Mei Changsu sighed again and stopped trying to persuade him.
"We have the right time, right place, and right people. Now we have it all. We are just waiting for April 12 to deal a fatal blow to Xie Yu."
"You also need to consider one issue. Zhuo Qingyao and Xie Qi are husband and wife. If this matter is exposed, they will both be victims. Zhuo Qingyao is fine, but Xie Qi is pregnant now, and she is already quite pregnant. If she is too stimulated, it is very likely to cause premature birth. At that time..."
"You are also related to her, I think you should take this matter into consideration."
Mei Changsu's face changed slightly. He thought of Xiao Jingrui, but he did not think of Xie Qi. This incident was a huge shock to Xiao Jingrui, but it was also the same for her. The husband she loved suddenly became the enemy of her biological father. For a young lady from a marquis's mansion who had never experienced any major events, it was definitely a major shock.
"I will remind Princess Li Yang when the time comes. She has seen big scenes before and will definitely be able to keep her composure."
"Hopefully."
Zhou Chen sighed softly. In the plot, Xie Qi died due to heavy bleeding during childbirth. In fact, if he had help, he would have a great chance of saving Xie Qi.
But he also knew that this was not a modern society after all, but an ancient feudal society. Moreover, as the eldest daughter of a marquis's family, how could she let a man help her deliver her baby? For a woman, this was as serious as defiling her innocence.
That's why he reminded Mei Changsu, hoping that Mei Changsu could think of a solution.
"Nihuang will leave tomorrow. Xiaochen, go to the city gate to see her off. Don't think too much. Even if she is a friend, you have a reason to see her off."
Zhou Chen thought about it for a while, and finally said: "Okay, I understand, I will go."
The next day, at the gate of Jinling City!
A large group of people gathered near the city gate. This was Mu Nihuang's large army heading back to the southern border.
A group of people were seeing Mu Nihuang off. Mu Qing, Xia Dong, Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin and others were all there.
Mu Nihuang said goodbye to them one by one, but before leaving, she couldn't help but look towards the city gate.
Xia Dong knew what Mu Nihuang was thinking, so he walked to her side and said softly, "He probably won't come."
Mu Nihuang looked disappointed, but quickly recovered. Just as she was about to leave, a large group of people suddenly rushed over. It was none other than Yuwen Xuan, the Prince of Ling of Southern Chu.
…………
Zhou Chen sat quietly in the pavilion outside the capital. The pavilion was not big, but people coming and going from Jinling would pass by here, especially those who were seeing someone off would choose this place.
He was planning to see Mu Nihuang off, but he didn't plan to go there with the others at the city gate. Instead, he came here to wait for Mu Nihuang.
He understood what Mei Changsu meant, but he still didn't want to think about it that way.
After waiting for two hours, they finally saw a long team heading in this direction. It was Mu Nihuang's Southern Border Team.
So he stood up. It was so obvious here, he believed that Mu Nihuang would definitely see him.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 845: Assassination of Xie Yu, Everything is Ready
Of course Mu Nihuang saw Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen was standing in such an obvious position, how could she not see him?
Without any hesitation, she stopped the main force and rode to the pavilion alone.
Mu Nihuang walked into the pavilion and looked at Zhou Chen with complicated eyes: "I thought you wouldn't come to see me off?"
Zhou Chen said: "How is that possible? After all, we are friends who have fought on the battlefield together."
"Yes, my friend."
Mu Nihuang nodded silently, and then said: "I am going back to the southern border this time, and I don't know when I can come back. I would like to ask you to help take care of Qing'er and Brother Lin Shu. I believe that with your ability, you can definitely do it."
"Don't worry, I will do it even if you don't tell me." Zhou Chen said without hesitation.
"Thank you."
Mu Nihuang thanked him and then didn't know what to say.
Zhou Chen took out a wooden box from the pavilion and placed it in front of Mu Nihuang.
"For you."
Mu Nihuang took the box and asked in confusion: "What is this?"
"I have summarized some military strategies and tactics. Although my ability to command on the battlefield is not very good, my theoretical level is quite good when it comes to talking about war on paper. You can take a look at them and write down what you think is useful. If it is of no use, just treat it as a pastime."
Zhou Chen had only been on the battlefield many times, so compared to a battle-hardened female marshal like Mu Nihuang, his practical experience was naturally much less.
But he has a lot of theoretical knowledge. Although he has lived for hundreds of years and has never focused on books such as the art of war, he has occasionally read many books. With his super memory, he can still remember many classic tactics.
In addition, he also knew something about various large-scale battles since ancient times, so it was no problem for him to make a simple summary and write a book on military strategy.
"Military tactics?"
Mu Nihuang was surprised. She had spent a long time with Zhou Chen and often heard him talk about military strategies, but she had never expected that Zhou Chen could actually write a military book himself.
Zhou Chen said: "These are just some of my own thoughts and opinions, you can just take a look at them."
Mu Nihuang nodded: "Okay, I'll take it, thank you."
"you……"
"you……"
They both spoke at the same time, said the same words, and then paused again.
Mu Nihuang was different from other women in that she was very straightforward and capable. After a brief pause, she spoke again.
"I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself. If you have the chance, I think you should go back to see your mother. I visited her once during the holidays. She missed you very much. If there is anyone in the world who misses you the most, it must be her."
Zhou Chen didn't expect Mu Nihuang to say this, and he didn't expect Mu Nihuang to actually visit his mother.
"Thank you for your reminder. I will consider it."
"Xie Yu is not that easy to deal with. Although you have made sufficient preparations, you still need to be cautious."
Mu Nihuang talked about their next plan, chatted with Zhou Chen for a while, then mounted her horse and led the large army away.
Zhou Chen silently watched Mu Nihuang leave without showing too much sadness, because he knew that it would not be long before Mu Nihuang would come back.
After calming down, Zhou Chen rode away on horseback, heading towards Jinling City.
At night, Zhou Chen personally helped Gong Yu put on her nightgown and gave her serious instructions.
"The gold silk soft armor is already worn inside. When you fight later, you must protect yourself and avoid the vital parts. Got it?"
Gong Yu nodded happily and tenderly, and said softly, "I know, I will definitely pay attention to it, you don't have to worry so much."
Zhou Chen rarely nags: "How can I not worry? You are my woman and you will spend your whole life with me. If you have no other choice, I really don't want you to take this risk."
"Young Master, to hear you say this, Gong Yu would be willing to die." Gong Yu said emotionally.
Zhou Chen raised his hand and slapped her on the back. Gong Yu's face turned red immediately.
"Don't say such unlucky words next time, do you hear me?"
Gong Yu responded softly: "Yeah."
After tidying up the clothes and putting on the mask for Gong Yu, Zhou Chen suddenly smiled and whispered in Gong Yu's ear, "Next time, wear this nightgown and we'll talk about life together."
Gong Yu's already rosy cheeks suddenly turned even redder, and her face and eyes were filled with shyness.
"Son..."
Zhou Chen kissed Gong Yu and stopped teasing him. His expression became serious: "It's almost time, let's go."
In the dead of night, the two used their lightness skills to move quickly in Jinling City, and their destination was the Ningguo Marquis Mansion.
When they arrived near the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion, Zhou Chen said to Gong Yu, "You go first, I will watch from the dark, and if you are in danger, I will take action."
"Ah."
Gong Yu responded softly. She wasn't worried to begin with, and now that Zhou Chen said so, she became even less fearful.
When Gong Yu quietly sneaked into the Ningguo Marquis Mansion, Zhou Chen was watching on the roof, but he had a bow and arrow in his hands, holding the bow in one hand and the arrow in the other, looking ready to attack at any time.
Gong Yu hid in the dark and waited for about half an hour before finally seeing Xie Yu.
Even in his own house, Xie Yu was still accompanied by two guards. Gong Yu was waiting for this moment. She suddenly rushed out from the darkness, holding a sharp sword, and rushed towards Xie Yu at an extremely fast speed.
Although it was dark, Xie Yu was a strong soldier on the battlefield. When he saw someone assassinating him, he was shocked at first, but then he reacted immediately.
Gong Yu killed the guard who was about to draw his sword with one sword, and then the sword pierced Xie Yu directly. Xie Yu quickly drew out the sword of another guard, swung it backhand, cut off Gong Yu's sword, and chopped Gong Yu's arm with his backhand.
Zhou Chen, who saw this scene on the roof, almost lost control and shot Xie Yu to death with an arrow. It was not until he saw Gong Yu covering his wound and quickly fleeing from the Ningguo Marquis Mansion that he put away his bow and arrow and followed him away.
When they were not far away, Zhou Chen caught up with Gong Yu.
"Gong Yu, how is your injury?"
Gong Yu looked a little pale, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, just a superficial wound. The most important part of the plan is how to deceive Qin Banruo. Sir, I'm going to Hongxiu Zhao first."
"Okay, I'll follow you and protect you."
Zhou Chen nodded, but he was still worried. Qin Banruo was not a good person. What if she was mentally ill and hurt his Gong Yu?
Gong Yu went all the way to Luoshi Street, and finally pretended to be seriously injured and landed in Hongxiuzhao's courtyard, and was then discovered by Qin Banruo who came after hearing the noise.
After some treatment, Qin Banruo arranged Gong Yu to a bedroom, and then ordered someone to help Gong Yu treat his wounds.
After doing all this, Qin Banruo waved her hand to let everyone leave, and only she and Gong Yu were left in the room.
"Ms. Gong Yu, your outfit tonight is really shocking. I didn't expect that you, Miss Gong Yu, actually know martial arts. And your injuries should be caused by fighting with others, right?"
Gong Yu sat on the bed, the wound on his arm had been bandaged.
"Ms. Qin, thank you for your help tonight. Gong Yu will never forget it, but what happened tonight is Gong Yu's private matter. I don't want to implicate Miss Qin, so please don't spread the news that I was injured tonight, otherwise it will bring great trouble to Miss Qin and Hong Xiuzhao."
After she said that, Qin Banruo became even more interested.
"Miss Gong Yu, it seems that you are not as simple as you usually appear. We in Hong Xiu Zhao are never afraid of trouble. If Miss Gong Yu encounters any problems, maybe I can help her."
Gong Yu was thoughtful, as if thinking about what Qin Banruo said. After a long while, she said again: "Miss Qin's kindness, Gong Yu appreciates it, but this is indeed Gong Yu's private matter, and the other party is very powerful. Miss Qin, you saved me, I can't drag you down."
The more she thought about this, the more Qin Banruo wanted to know. Gong Yu had been in Jinling City for several years. If it weren't for tonight, she wouldn't have known that Gong Yu had such a secret. She felt that there must be a huge problem. As a spy leader, she wanted to know more secrets.
"Miss Gong Yu, what difficulties have you encountered? We are both women. You can tell me. Maybe I can really help you."
Gong Yu looked conflicted, as if she was struggling in her heart. After a long while, she spoke again.
"Miss Qin, you just saved me and you are very kind to me. Since you want to know what I did today, I can tell you. I just hope that Miss Qin can keep it a secret. Otherwise, not only me, but also you, Miss Qin, will be implicated."
Qin Banruo nodded and said, "Okay, I promise I won't tell anyone else."
So Gong Yu slowly told Qin Banruo about his life story, and said that he was going to assassinate Xie Yu today for revenge.
"Miss Qin, this is my story. I hope you can keep it a secret for me."
Qin Banruo was shocked. She had never expected that a brothel girl like Gong Yu would have such a complicated life experience. What made her even more excited was that this matter also involved Xie Yu.
Xie Yu is the Crown Prince's most trusted confidant and a thorn in Prince Yu's side, who has always wanted to get rid of Xie Yu.
Now that she knows such a secret, can she do something about it and let Prince Yu deal with Xie Yu and bring him down?
But she didn't completely believe it. Instead, she asked curiously, "You're going to assassinate Xie Yu alone tonight? I heard that you have a close relationship with Gongzi Yu. Why don't you let Gongzi Yu help you? He is the seventh-ranked expert on the Langya Expert List. If he takes action, he may really have a chance to kill Xie Yu."
Most people may not know the relationship between Gongzi Yu and Gong Yu, but Qin Banruo is well-informed and has long known that Gong Yu moved in with Gongzi Yu.
Gong Yu knew Qin Banruo would ask this question, so she said what she had prepared.
"I was born in a brothel. The young master did not despise my identity and was willing to take me into his mansion and make me his woman. I am very grateful, but because of this, I cannot tell him about my life experience."
