Chapter 222 Give it a try
"Little Yun'er, did you do that on purpose?"
"We can send the letter out from the department after noon today."
"Because after noon today, Situ Chuling's transfer notice will be delivered."
"Moreover, the Queen of Xiaorong Kingdom should also receive news of the sudden deaths of the two princes."
Wu Ziyan didn't quite understand the workings of the Holy Martial Division.
I can receive messages, but I can't send them. Is it because one of me has no internet connection?
After reporting his official business, Mo Baiyun resumed his smiling demeanor and limped toward Wu Ziyan.
Wu Ziyan was still worried that his wound would reopen, so she told him to slow down.
But then he started acting all coquettish and shameless again: "It seems that Master feels sorry for me."
"I want you to get better soon so we can go back home. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of chaos it will be like when we get back."
“With Mr. Huang in the mansion, he will definitely know that you are with me.”
"His mind is incredibly sharp. No wonder you have such good judgment, Master. He's ruthless too."
"I didn't. What are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense."
"Master, are you nervous? Would you like some water to calm your nerves?"
"Or do you need Xiaoyun to feed you with her mouth?"
"You naughty child, this is outside, not at home."
"Besides, you're the boss here. How can you let your subordinates see this?"
"I think they know how powerful I am, so even if they see me like this, they wouldn't dare to say anything against me."
As he said this, a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes.
Then I sat down next to her and gently rested my head on her other shoulder.
He even yawned, apparently because he got up too early this morning.
And so things remained peaceful until the afternoon.
At the border, an urgent report was delivered to General Situ Hongyu.
For the past two years, we have maintained peaceful relations with several countries, but now, I don't know what kind of trouble has arisen.
Whether it was Xiao Rong or Bei Rong, they repeatedly harassed the border on a small scale.
If we send troops to fight, they'll just retreat after we try to drive them away; if we don't send troops, they'll keep probing our borders.
She looked at it and saw that it bore the seal of Wu Chengji.
He waved to his deputy and told him to go and call Situ Chuling over.
Chu Ling was training troops on the training ground at this time. His voice was like a booming bell, and his body was as straight as a pine tree.
"General Chu Ling, General Situ is calling for you."
"What's the matter?"
"I don't know, I'll send you to the main tent to find her."
With her hands behind her back and a cold expression, she urged the soldiers to continue training.
Even if the borders are peaceful, physical fitness still needs to be improved.
He strode into the main tent, where Situ Hongyu was holding a letter, his brow furrowed.
Looking at the person entering, Chu Ling also looked puzzled: "Mother, why did you call me here?"
"I already told you that when I'm with the army, you should call me General."
"Oh, General's wife, what brings you here?"
"Fine, take a look. This is your transfer order to Rongyang County."
"Why did Your Highness transfer me to Rongyang County? That's the border of Xiao Rong, and there's already a garrison there."
"The specifics are written at the end of this letter. You can read it carefully. It seems like things are about to change drastically!"
Seeing Situ Hongyu's solemn expression, one could tell that things were not simple.
Chu Ling's expression changed after reading the letter that followed.
If what the letter says is true, she has to hurry to Rongyang, otherwise, if she is too late, Rongyang might be gone.
"Mother, I have to leave immediately."
"That's what I was thinking too. I've already prepared the horse for you."
"A top-notch swift horse; if it's fast, you'll arrive today... or at the latest tomorrow morning."
Chu Ling came and went as swiftly as the wind. By the time Situ Hongyu received the letter, she had already ordered her deputy to pack Chu Ling's things.
We're just waiting for her to come, pick up the transfer order, and leave with her things.
Chu Feng was still patrolling outside at this time, which was something he had to do every day with those children soldiers.
On the way back, I happened to run into my younger sister on the road and saw her riding at breakneck speed, like a whirlwind.
She reined in her horse and stopped: "Chu Ling, where are you in such a hurry to go?"
"His Highness ordered me to go to Rongyang. I'm leaving now. Eldest sister, please be careful here."
"The same to you!"
Xiao Rong Kingdom Royal Court
Qi Eryu knelt on the ground, his hands pressed to the ground, not daring to raise his head. They had only received the news today.
Both princes perished in the Wu Dynasty; one died from poisoning, and the other from suicide.
The most crucial point is that they are still keeping this news under wraps and have no intention of giving Xiao Rong an explanation.
"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences!"
Even if she doesn't like her children, they are still her own flesh and blood.
Upon hearing that both had died, her body trembled slightly, her limbs felt numb, and she almost lost her balance.
She was the empress, the queen of a country; she had to remain calm and think about what to do next.
"How are the weapons on the border doing?"
"The first batch should already be in the northern desert and will be entering the country soon."
"The Wu Dynasty is ruthless, so don't blame us. Mobilize the army and march on Rongyang, their weakest point in defense!"
"Your Majesty, with the Northern Rong eyeing us covetously from behind, wouldn't this go against the original intentions of the Wu Dynasty?"
Their initial purchase of weapons from the Wu Dynasty and their cooperation with the prime minister were all aimed at strengthening their own army.
They have the strength to rival Bei Rong, but now they're putting the cart before the horse and starting a war against Wu Chao. I'm afraid their chances of winning are slim.
Qi Tian was well aware of this, and could only place his hopes on her partner.
Let's see if the Prime Minister dares to rebel in the royal court when she sends troops to the border.
Even if they dare not, they can secretly help her to take down Rongyang.
After he received news of the twins' sudden death, another letter from the prime minister was on its way.
After the troops had been mobilized, she also received a message from the Prime Minister.
Just as she had expected, Sima Zongcheng indeed intended to take a gamble.
The Prime Minister's heavy weapons are also being transported out of the city, and it is estimated that they will reach Rongyang in five days at most.
But they didn't know that Wu Ziyan had transferred Chu Ling to Rongyang.
After the Prime Minister left court, she was the one who was always the one being begged by others.
This time, she actually took the initiative to go to Wu Chengye's residence, probably to discuss something important.
Sima Lingyu had been mentally tormented by Wu Chengye all night.
But now he doesn't care anymore, because he has no feelings for Wu Chengye anymore.
I just hope she falls from power soon!
While he was in the room, he could only hear people outside bowing to someone.
It seemed like he heard the Prime Minister's voice, but then his heartless mother arrived.
He instinctively called out to Lan'er, but there was no response.
He had no choice but to ask the person standing at the door to do his hair and makeup. The person at the door was also quite perceptive.
He also heard someone outside calling for the Prime Minister; that was his own mother.
Immediately, three or five people, carrying water and towels, were combing their hair, adorning themselves with flowers, and drawing their eyebrows.
