Chapter 372 Defeat
Waiting for Ateng in the Sea of Tranquility...
After a long time, there was no news of victory, but instead there was a deserter in a small boat.
Looking at the dark mass in front of him, the man who could only see his eyes and teeth asked coldly, "You said the whole army was wiped out?"
"How can we annihilate the whole army?"
Two lines of clear tears immediately fell on that dark face, washing away the black dust on the face and revealing two snow-white streaks.
"They are all dead. Those who are still alive have been arrested. They asked me to come back and pass on the message."
"Send a message?"
Ateng narrowed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him. He spoke from between his teeth, "What message do you want me to pass on?"
"Let our leader surrender. If he doesn't surrender, we will kill all the prisoners."
Ateng...
He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then reached out to touch his right shoulder where his arm had long been lost. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were extremely cruel.
"Send the Shadow Guard to Juecheng to investigate the situation."
"Yes."
At the same time, Juecheng.
A battle had already ended, and Ah Hong, who was waiting in the sea of sand, had already learned the news of the defeat.
He pounded the wooden table hard, "How is this possible? How is this possible?"
After calming down, he reluctantly ordered, "Retreat and meet Ateng at sea."
"Yes."
The elliptical airship suspended in the sky followed Ah Hong's footsteps all the way and watched her reach the Tranquil Sea to reunite with the man.
After confirming the location, Zhao Ying'er looked at Li Rui who was feeding her daughter with her big belly, "The location has been confirmed. Should we write a letter to General Lin Xiao?"
Li Rui nodded and said, "Release the pigeons. We don't have to do anything. We just need to wait here and see what those people will do next."
"By the way, have you sent a letter to His Majesty?"
Zhao Ying'er held her waist and sat down. "The Duke of Zhenguo has sent a secret guard to deliver the letter. Let's see how His Majesty arranges it."
Li Rui fed his daughter and called the wet nurse to take her back to sleep.
He sat down next to his wife, massaging her calves with his hands, and said, "Looking at the performance of those people in Juecheng, they are not strong, right?"
"How can you be so confident that you should use force first and then courtesy?"
Zhao Ying'er squinted her eyes and enjoyed her husband's massage. She yawned delicately, "Oh, who cares? Didn't Mrs. Luo say that?"
"Those people are just frogs in a well. Once they are subdued, they will not dare to act rashly."
As he spoke, he nodded his head.
Li Rui curled his lips and carefully picked up his little wife and went to the bedroom.
After discussion, Ah Hong and Ah Teng below sent a message to ask the people of Wu County to rush to the northern border.
They also led the few remaining soldiers and headed towards the northern border.
Li Rui, Zhao Ying'er and Lin Xiao were keeping an eye on this group of people, and after determining their destination, they simultaneously sent a secret letter to the capital.
Qian Qian had just finished the morning court and was catching up on his sleep in Fengqi Palace when he was ruthlessly woken up by Wu Wanwan.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," Wu Wanwan whispered softly in Qian Qian's ear, "Those foreigners have gone to the northern border."
"Lord Li and General Lin sent a secret letter, estimating that those people will arrive in the northern border in one and a half months."
Qian Qian rubbed his eyes and said lazily, "Let them reconcile. I want to see Ah Hong and Ah Teng in the capital."
"Yes."
Wu Wanwan bowed and responded.
Then I heard His Majesty say, "Just monitor in secret, and be careful not to alert the enemy."
"Yes."
After giving the instructions, Qianqian turned over and continued to sleep.
The system was a little confused. [Money, can we really just ignore them? ]
[After all, they brought quite a lot of people this time. ]
[It's okay, it's okay.] Qian Qian is not worried at all. [We'll wait and see what they do after they meet up in the northern border.]
The system snorted, feeling very depressed about its current uselessness.
Ten years have passed, and he has seen a lot of gossip in these years.
But in these ten years, he has not awakened any skills, and still cannot eat the predictive melon.
Other than Qianqian regaining the ability to use his power, there has been no other progress at all.
Qianqian has been with Tongzi for so many years that she has become sensitive to his emotions.
I had to endure the sleepiness and comfort him, "Tongzi, I'm already very powerful now."
[Don't worry, it's fine as it is now. ]
system……
[Wow, Your Majesty~, um, another day where I am moved by Your Majesty, wow, Your Majesty~]
[Just shut up and don't force me to slap you. ]
system……
【Humph. 】
Money money...
She closed her eyes and continued her nap. After all, she had listened to music until midnight last night and was quite energetic.
After waking up, Wu Wanwan had a stern face and placed her hands in front of her belly, looking angry.
Qian Qian let Tao Er help him change his clothes and wipe his face. He looked at Wu Wan Wan with some amusement, "Who offended our Lord Wu?"
"I'll help you deal with him."
Wu Wanwan frowned, "Your Majesty, those old gentlemen are here again."
Money money...
"Alas, I am addicted to urging marriage."
After changing clothes, Qianqian walked towards the imperial study.
The Minister of Rites and the two Imperial Censors, who were the main forces urging the marriage, and Mo Juyan, who was dragged in to make up the numbers, have been waiting for a long time.
When Mo Tuyan saw His Majesty come in, she grinned at her and silently moved away from the other three.
After the ceremony, the Minister of Rites bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I have made this request many times. You are already past the age limit, do you want to fill your harem?"
"After all, the harem is related to the royal heir."
Qian Qian looked coldly at the old man who was nearly fifty years old, "The next emperor of our Great Xia country will be the one who is capable."
"It doesn't matter whether it's my blood or not."
"In that case," the Minister of Rites continued to persuade with a smile, "Shouldn't the harem be filled up as well, regardless of gender?"
Money money...
[Tongzi, did he just say something about not discriminating between men and women? ]
system……
[Yes, he is mainly concerned about your reputation. ]
[After all, the whole of Daxia is saying that Her Majesty loves to enjoy beauties but is unwilling to take responsibility for her position.]
Money money...
The system continued, "The Minister of Rites has been so concerned about your reputation that he has broken the heart of an old father."
Qianqian secretly shrank his neck, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Your Majesty," Censor Zhao stepped forward, "If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the reputation of the royal family."
"Although marriage is late in Daxia nowadays, there are still no unmarried women of your age."
His words were so sincere and heartfelt that they almost brought tears to my eyes.
Money money...
"How old am I? I'm only 27. How old am I?"
[Old Deng, do you know how old I have to be before I can retire? ]
[Don't you think I have any dignity when you mention my age to me? 】
system……
[Your Majesty,]
【you shut up. 】
Seeing that His Majesty looked unhappy, Mo Yanyan immediately tried to smooth things over, "Your Majesty, it is now midsummer, and preparations have begun for Daxia's first flying boat race."
"I wonder if we can also compete in four-wheeled vehicles in addition to flying boats this year?"
"Appearance, speed, and the durability of the energy stone can all be considered."
Qian Qian looked at Mo Yanyan with appreciation, "Well, that's a good idea. I agree."
"Master Mo is fully responsible for this matter."
Mo Tu Yan...
I looked at Qian Qian with resentment and said, "Your Majesty, how can you repay kindness with evil?"
Money money...
Feeling somewhat guilty, he looked at Mo Tuyan and said, "Oh, am I just being irrelevant?"
Is it possible for me to select a few capable assistants for you later?
Mo Tuyan raised an eyebrow at His Majesty and thanked Him for his consideration.
system……
[Qian Qian, you are amazing. You can even communicate with Lord Mo through his eyes.]
[Well, we're old acquaintances, so it's a piece of cake. ]
In the end, in order to appease the loyal ministers, he gave some rewards to the people who came to the imperial study and sent them back.
The Minister of Rites looked into the box and covered his lips with his hands, "Your Majesty, are you warning me to shut up?"
The two imperial censors also opened their respective boxes, which also contained pure gold doll ornaments, one of them covering his lips with his left hand and making the number two with his right hand.
One covers lips with right hand and makes number two with left hand.
Mo Tu Yan...
He touched his forehead with his hand and said, "No, it's good gold. Your Majesty, why are you using these things? It's a waste."
He shook his head and left.
At this time, a royal guard hurriedly stopped Mo Yanyan's way, "Sir Mo, His Majesty has received the war report from the Northern Frontier and summoned you to return to discuss matters."
