Chapter 57 The General Loves the Country Girl (27)
Power gives men an incomparably powerful charm. At this moment of everyone's attention, Li Wen is the center of the world. Even Duan Xinghui, the male protagonist, is inferior to Li Wen.
Ning Shu saw Duan Xinghui looking at Emperor Li Wen with envy and confusion.
Li Wen spoke loudly and passionately, stimulating the soldiers below to howl and wish they could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy immediately.
Ning Shu's eyes twitched. Usually, Li Wen, who is cold and taciturn, can be so passionate when he said that someone was going to die. It can
be seen that Li Wen is really determined to rectify the North Desert. The military rations for this 200,000-man army alone is an astonishing number. He wants to scare the bandits in the North Desert.
With Li Wen's full and sonorous call to go to war, the rhythm of the drum also became faster, mixed with the roar of the soldiers, shaking the entire capital.
"Jiahui." Li Wen waved to Ning Shu. Ning Shu immediately turned over and got off the horse, walked in front of Li Wen, half-knelt in front of Li Wen, clasped his fists and shouted: "Your Majesty, your sister pays homage to your brother."
Li Wen put the small gray ball on Ning Shu's shoulder. Ning Shu was a little surprised. Li Wen said with his hands behind his back: "This little guy is very sensitive to danger. I tried to feed it with cakes mixed with poison, but it refused to eat. I wanted to throw it into the snake cave, but it ran away."
Ning Shu: Poof...
"Let it stay with you, it will always be helpful." Li Wen stretched out his hand and patted Ning Shu's shoulder heavily. It was really heavy that Ning Shu's shoulder was crooked. "Come back alive."
Ning Shu's nose was sour and she almost cried. It was probably the original owner's emotions. Ning Shu also felt that although Li Wen was cold, he had some brotherly feelings for the original owner after all.
Ning Shu hummed, with a nasal sound in his voice, "My brother, you should also pay more attention to your health. Your health is everything. Only with a good health can you do a lot of things and fulfill your brother's wish to create a prosperous era."
Li Wen's expression was a little complicated, and he said, "Go."
The little gray ball squeaked and jumped on Li Wen's body. It was obviously reluctant to leave Li Wen. Its small and sharp claws grabbed Li Wen's clothes and kept crying.
Ning Shu felt drunk. Li Wen tossed it like that, but it was still reluctant to leave.
Ning Shu was very upset and walked over to catch the little gray ball. The little gray ball squeaked in Ning Shu's hand. The sound was really shrill. It was really sad to hear it and anyone who saw it would cry.
The army team walked towards the door. Ning Shu sat on the horseback and looked at the people on both sides of the street who were seeing them off. Some family members looked at their relatives in the team, tears in their eyes, with expectation and worry.
It seemed tragic and solemn. Ning Shu looked at these scenes and understood more and more why Li Wen wanted to create a prosperous era where the people were safe and peaceful.
It's just that this prosperous age requires constant struggle, and is even built on blood and bones.
All we want is to wish for a peaceful and happy life in the world.
Ning Shu saw Erya and Mrs. Duan in the crowd, as well as Yuan Dong. Yuan Dong had pearls and jade all over her head, and looked like a rich lady, but her expression seemed very melancholy. It was estimated that Duan Xinghui was only concerned with his true love and had left Yuan Dong to die of drought.
Duan Xinghui saw his relatives, his mother and the person he loved in the crowd. For some reason, Duan Xinghui first glanced at Ning Shu and saw that her face was indifferent and she didn't care about anything.
Duan Xinghui was relieved, but there was a mixture of unspeakable resentment and loss.
It can only be said that things that cannot be obtained are good things. In the plot, Jiahui desperately wants to be with Duan Xinghui, and Duan Xinghui hates her as if she is a dog-skin plaster that sticks to him.
Now that he is ignored, Duan Xinghui feels lost again, and all kinds of hypocrisy are at work. Ning Shu could only raise her middle finger to Duan Xinghui. How could he be so mean?
After walking for nearly two hours, the marching team finally left the capital. The sun was already high, and it felt a little warm on people, especially when they were wearing armor to block the biting cold wind.
Looking back, the soldiers following behind were sweating on their faces. Their black faces were glowing, and hot white smoke came out of their bodies.
"Princess, do you want to set up camp?" Shen Feng asked Ning Shu.
Ning Shu could tell from Shen Feng's expression that he didn't want to set up camp, and speed was the most important thing in war, but she asked because of her identity as Princess Ning Shu Jiahui.
Ning Shu shook her head and said, "Marshal Shen is the supreme commander. Jiahui should abide by military regulations. The marshal has the final say."
They had to set up camp just after leaving the capital. When would they reach the northern border?
"Everyone speed up." Shen Feng shouted and gave an order. The soldiers carrying flags waved yellow flags to convey the message.
Shen Feng no longer cared about Ning Shu's identity as a woman, and directly followed the most strict military orders. They marched until night before setting up camp.
Ning Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat in a separate simple tent.
After all, she was a woman, and a princess of a country, so there was no reason for her to sleep in the same tent with those men.
But the food was exactly the same as that of ordinary soldiers, and Ning Shu was not picky. She ate coarse flour steamed bread mixed with meat and vegetable soup, and only when she was full would she have the strength to fight.
Ning Shu felt that she was also quite hardworking. In order to complete the mission, she had to wear armor and go to the battlefield. To be honest,
Ning Shu is still a little worried. After coming out of the capital, Xiao Huiqiu has been very depressed and looked at Ning Shu with a pair of depressed eyes. Even when Ning Shu gave half of his food to Xiao Huiqiu, Xiao Huiqiu turned his butt to Ning Shu and looked at the sky at a sad and bright angle of 45 degrees.
Ning Shu: ...
It feels so intoxicating. What is this guy really doing? He is so reluctant to leave Li Wen. Xiao Huiqiu has become much more spiritual than before.
Ning Shu finished her dinner and washed herself with some water. After all, she was a woman and it was very inconvenient for her to be among a group of men.
What Ning Shu didn't expect was that someone actually touched her tent in the middle of the night. It seemed that they had bad intentions, and it wasn't just one person.
Ning Shu was so angry that she laughed. As expected, women are in a weak position. If something really happened, they would say they were killed in battle. Ning Shu felt that she had to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, otherwise there would be some people who were so bold in the future.
Probably because they were afraid of Ning Shu's status as a princess, these people didn't go too far, and many of them were middle-level generals. Ning Shu said that there would always be a chance to make you swallow your teeth mixed with blood one by one.
When marching the next day, Duan Xinghui drove his horse beside Ning Shu and asked Ning Shu, "Princess, are you okay?"
Ning Shu was in a bad mood to begin with. When she heard Duan Xinghui say this, she felt that this guy was gloating, and said coldly, "Guard Duan, what do you think happened to me?"
