Chapter 166: Comfort
With the defeat of Ayure, Nanjue's soldiers were reduced to ownerless skirmishers and were captured one after another. Because reinforcements were intercepted and no one came to help, Nanjue suffered a disastrous defeat in this battle.
The group returned to Changyong Pass in a grand manner, and everyone was talking about the fact that the newly appointed coach was a woman, and she was also a princess.
Zhong Mingyue sat on the horse with her chin raised and her head held high. Behind her were the Nanjue people who had been captured after a fierce battle last night. Their hands were tied with hemp ropes and they were walking forward one by one.
On the way, he would also be scolded by the Dacheng people.
No one expected Zhong Mingyue to win so brilliantly on the first battlefield, and Nan Jue probably wouldn't dare to act rashly again in a short period of time.
Not to mention that others didn't expect it, in fact Zhong Mingyue didn't expect it either.
She used to only dare to compete with others in her father's military camp, but last night was a real battle with real swords and guns.
She was able to win thanks to Shi Yanyuan.
That group of people never imagined that Dacheng could attack the military camp at night without his coach, let alone that a woman named Zhong Mingyue could have such ability.
They all underestimated Zhong Mingyue.
But there was only one person who always believed that Zhong Mingyue could do it, but he was not happy about it.
When Zhong Mingyue returned to the city, everyone ran to the city gate to welcome her. In an instant, she changed from an unknown princess to a great hero Zhong Mingyue who rescued people in distress.
Zhong Mingyue responded enthusiastically to everyone. God knows she had never dreamed of such a scene, but today it actually came true.
The prisoners were taken to the military camp and left to be handled by Zhong Mingqi and Zhou Wenxiong. Zhong Mingyue and Shi Ling were going to go back to the general's mansion to wash up and take a shower.
As soon as Zhong Mingyue came to the horse, she stepped forward and said to Shi Ling: "After a few days, it is confirmed that there will be no more waves in Nanjue. Uncle Emperor, you will go back to Kyoto City to rescue Ruan Ruan first, and then we will discuss how to go to the city to persuade him to surrender."
.”
Shi Ling handed the horse rope to the soldier beside him, looked at him and said, "I think you can do it without me, so I'm going to leave tomorrow."
Zhong Mingyue paused.
"Are you too anxious? If Nanjue commits another crime again, the Golden Guards will not listen to us if you are not here, and the Border Army will not accept it. We..."
Shi Ling raised his hand to stop her from continuing.
He said: "You already have a name in Nanjue for today's battle, you can do it, and His Highness now has the jade seal and the edict in hand, who dares to disobey orders?"
Zhong Mingyue said she couldn't come.
They just felt that they would feel more at ease if Shi Ling was here, but they also understood that Shen Xian couldn't afford to hold them back.
He pursed his lips and said, "Then...Uncle Huang, let's talk to Yan Yuan tonight."
"Um."
In the evening, everyone held a celebration banquet at the General's Mansion, mainly for Zhong Mingyue, but they all praised Master Zhong for his good teaching skills and that Zhong Minqi has a good sister.
Few people praise Zhong Mingyue directly.
She also understood that in the world of these men, they would not be reconciled to being suddenly overpowered by a woman, so she did not care.
Just a little lonely.
When Shi Yanyuan heard the sound of fireworks outside, he frowned and ordered people to close all the doors and windows, but the sound of fireworks still came through.
When Shi Ling came in, he was furious at the window and threw all the food on the table through the window. The window was not broken, but the bowls were smashed to pieces.
Shi Ling frowned: "Is he still a three-year-old child?"
Shi Yanyuan just glanced at Shi Ling with a gloomy face and called in a low voice: "Uncle."
"It's not like your legs are useless. You can just keep them alive. What's the fuss about?"
What he dislikes most is someone wasting food.
Shi Yanyuan moved his lips, but couldn't express the troubles in his heart.
So he changed the topic: "This battle is won, is the emperor leaving?"
"You can see clearly."
Shi Ling ordered people to clean up all the food bowls he had broken, and then he approached Shi Yanyuan and took out a small copper block from his arms.
It's a tiger symbol.
Shi Yanyuan's eyes twitched: "Give it to me again?"
"again?"
This is very spiritual.
Shi Ling guessed that he probably felt that the things Ah Feng had brought had been given to him, and now the tiger talisman was also given to him, which made Shi Yanyuan feel like he was about to lose Shi Ling.
Shi Yanyuan: "Uncle, I am not afraid that you will have no leverage after giving these to me. What will you do if I want to monopolize the rights of the court in the future?"
Shi Ling rolled his eyes at him and forced the tiger talisman in his hand to him.
He said: "If you have the ability, just do it, as long as you are not afraid that I will beat you in the court."
"...Uncle Emperor, I have grown up!"
"So I don't spank you on the butt, I spank you on the face."
"Not even the face!"
Shi Ling looked at him and couldn't help but smile.
As far as what he could say now, Shi Ling was willing to believe that he wouldn't do that.
Moreover, he knew that Shi Yanyuan valued love and justice, not to mention that he would not do that, and he was too dependent on himself.
Shi Ling glanced at his legs and said slowly: "I watched you grow up. It wouldn't be a bad thing if you could do this. At least it is a good thing to be ruthless for the king. Unfortunately, you are not. You are too heavy.
Friendship."
After a pause: "The jade seal and the edict were both left to you by the late emperor, and they are yours. As for giving you this tiger talisman, I would rather go back to find her."
Shi Yanyuan lowered his head and looked at the small tiger charm in his hand sadly.
He took a breath: "Uncle, if...I..."
Shi Ling was a little impatient again: "Speak as you speak. How can you be hesitant like a king of a country?"
Shi Yanyuan smiled bitterly: "The path I adhere to has been shaken."
"...why?"
Shi Yanyuan suddenly closed his eyes and raised his head, and the back of his head hit the wall lightly, making a muffled sound.
He said: "There is a fool who would rather wander around the world than share the prosperity of the country with me. In the past, without her, I only wanted the country and the country. But now when I think that I will have everything but no longer have her, I...I...
"
Shi Yanyuan couldn't describe how he felt, but he was just sad.
He felt that he should be happy. Zhong Mingyue returned with a great victory. Soon they would have to go to Qichen to confront Shi Yu. Everything went smoothly.
But he just couldn't make her happy.
Shi Ling understood immediately.
This guy is a hero but a beauty.
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "If you dare to give up now, I don't mind letting you recall the shadow of your childhood."
What he was talking about was that Shi Yanyuan didn't like studying when he was a child, but Shi Ling found out about it. Shi Ling, who was not a few years older than him, actually beat him from the inner school to the East Palace, and then from the East Palace to the Golden Dragon Palace, leaving a bruise on his body.
It's not even gone for a month.
Shi Yanyuan: "..."
He shouldn't expect the emperor's uncle to say comforting words.
Shi Ling really wouldn't say it, because so many people have died till now, he would never give up just because he said so, and there are still so many people waiting for his orders.
If he dares to let his son and daughter fall in love for a long time at this time, he is indeed worthy of taking action.
"Uncle Huang, aren't you also going to give up Changyong Pass to find Aunt Huang?"
"I'm not the emperor."
"..."
Shi Ling: "If Zhong Mingyue has you in her heart, she won't leave. If it's not you, it's useless for you to cry here. Get well and get back to Kyoto City as soon as possible."
Shi Yanyuan was stunned again.
Uncle Huang is right.
If she liked her as much as he did, she would not ask to leave. Zhong Mingyue has always been a wanderer. Her heart belongs to the wandering wind and never belongs to the palace.

Shi Yanyuan: Uncle Emperor, I need comfortt^t
Shi Ling: Stick or hammer, or do you eat fried meat with bamboo shoots?
Shi Yanyuan:......
