Chapter 190 The ambition of the world
When Chu Jiangmian received the news of the victory in Yanling Pass, he was not in Longcheng. However, this victory was delivered to him as soon as possible.
There was a fierce debate over whether to fully rescue Qi State. Many ministers tried their best to dissuade Zhao State from their concerns about the security of Zhao State. Among them, there were even old ministers such as the Prime Minister Fei Yi, who also maintained a cautious attitude towards sending troops.
After all, this matter is extraordinary. Zhao State had just calmed down, and the war with Hu Qi in the northwest was still fierce, and the outcome was not decided. Moreover, in addition to Qin State, Southern Han, Wei, and Yan have also become mortal enemies. Beware that they may launch another raid at any time.
However, the young King Zhao fully agreed with the opinions of Shangdagong Zizhong and others this time, and with great courage, he decided to send troops immediately.
Since King Zhao Chu Jiangmian had made a decision personally, of course there was nothing else to say to the others. After less than half a year, his prestige had quickly been established. Especially in the hearts of the generals and schoolmen in the army, they had great confidence in his far-sighted planning. I heard that they were going to send troops to fight again, not only did no one feel afraid and hesitant, but everyone scrambled to join the team of the Eastern Expedition to Qi.
Who wouldn’t want to die for the king on the Golden Platform and be famous for his heroic merits?
Lan Lingjun, who received the clear support of Zhao State, was very calm. Although the situation in Qi State was critical and had lost more than half of its land. Even as time went by, the Qi army and the Taiyue defense line confronted the invading enemy troops became increasingly severe under the threat of the enemy's military force. However, when Lan Lingjun received the personal guarantee from King Zhao, he still gave up the idea of rushing back to Qi State immediately and prepared to set out with the troops of Zhao State.
As for Princess Wuyou, he could only push it back first. However, what he never expected was that he had actually done what he said casually.
When the young general in a suit of armor beat the horse in front of him, Lan Lingjun was stunned for a moment. He looked at him in shock for a while before he recognized that the man with his body armor, long tassels and bright red battle robe was Princess Wuyou.
"You really decided? Let her go to the battle and fight... to the war?"
Lan Lingjun frowned deeply. He looked at Chu Jiangmian's face seriously, but he really didn't understand. Since the other party was not willing to do this marriage, why did he be so indulge in the princess of Qi?
Chu Jiangmian was the king of kings with a calm expression. Of course, he would not let Lan Lingjun see the bitter smile in his heart. Alas! How could this humble gentleman know that in just a few days, the eldest lady of Qi was reluctant to give in and chased and beat him up, forcing him to agree helplessly!
"Since she has an interest in this regard, why don't she agree? It's just that she is wearing armor, and she doesn't really want her to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy... I'll just take it as a long experience for her to stay in the army."
"King Zhao, don't underestimate Wuyou. I'm afraid that if we really go to the battlefield, we will find it difficult to restrain her!"
"Don't worry! She is just a girl with a heroic dream in her heart. When she really goes to see the cruel scenes of iron-blooded fighting, she will no longer be so persistent... Haha! I hope she won't cry!"
After all, Chu Jiangmian didn't take it seriously. In fact, what really made him a headache was not the princess's general's dream. But everything that happened in Jinxiang Palace during this period.
Who would have thought that Princess Wuyou, who seemed simple and unscheming, would actually get the favor of the Queen Mother in the palace. I don’t know whether it was a natural fate or for other reasons, Queen Mother Jiang Xin liked this princess from the shore of the East China Sea very much. After Wuyou entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother, she not only received a lot of rewards, but more importantly, the Queen Mother personally ordered her to move in and live in her palace for more than half a month.
This is very intriguing. The ministers inside and outside the royal court knew it well that the Queen Mother's attitude was obviously in favor of the Princess of Qi. The Princess Wuyou was also very good at pleasing. In a short period of time, not only won the Queen Mother's favor, but also the people in the palace were respectful and polite, without any noble airs. The maids and servants in the palace were very happy to deal with it.
In this case, some subtle atmosphere will inevitably arise. Many people's eyes quietly looked at the palace where Princess Xueer lived from time to time. Because everyone knew that the woman who lived with Princess Xueer was the one who made a vow in person by King Zhao.
"...Will you hire Qiancheng as your hiring in the future?"
Of course, the Queen Mother Jiang Xin had also heard what her baby son said. She looked at Jiang Xueer who ran to her for anger and questioned her, and felt very funny. Because Princess Xueer, who had a red face, came to find her mother to argue with her for the sake of Murong Qiancheng, who lived with her.
"My mother! You know that your brother likes Qiancheng, why did you recruit that princess of Qi into the palace? Now everyone inside and outside are talking about it, saying that Queen Mother wants to force Brother Jiang Mian to make her the queen! Humph... I hate her so much! The people of Qi are really there. Isn't anyone asking for their princess? I have to send it to us from afar...!"
The little princess, who has always been doting with the Queen Mother, has been very respectful to her mother since she was a child. She never dared to do anything too much with favor in front of her. However, today, she can't care about anything for Murong Qiancheng.
"Silly kid, what do you know? The Eastern United Kingdom of Qi has become a powerful supporter. It was originally the national policy that your brother Jiang Mian had set a long time ago. The people of Qi took the initiative to release their kindness. The King of Qi and the Queen were willing to send their most beloved daughter to Zhao, which has already shown their sincerity. How can we refuse easily? What's more, Wuyou, both civil and military, smart and beautiful, is my son's good match. This is a good thing for heaven to make a good match!"
"Mother... But what should Sister Qiancheng do? She and her brother have had a common hardship, and they are willing to use their bodies to block the sword and die for him. Is this kind of affection not as important as the kind of united for the sake of profit?"
The kind-hearted Jiang Xueer's eyes were filled with tears. Although most of the sword wounds on Murong Qiancheng's body have been healed after such a long period of rest, her body is still very weak. It obviously takes a long time to restore her original health. Moreover, the two lived in that palace together for a summer. Jiang Xueer and her had the deepest relationship with her, and they had reached the point of talking about everything. In the heart of this simple girl, she had already regarded Murong Qiancheng as the only queen in the future. Now, another woman suddenly appeared, trying to occupy Qiancheng's position, and she looked left and right and felt uncomfortable.
"Oh! Qiancheng is naturally excellent. If it weren't for the future of Zhao State, she would of course be the best candidate for the queen. But now it seems that I have to consider this matter carefully!"
"Mother, what about the brother's opinion? He will never agree!"
Jiang Xueer pouted. Although she didn't dare to refute forcibly, she was very eager for her mother to change her mind as soon as possible. Jiang Xin laughed.
"Xue'er, don't worry about these adults. Take good care of Qiancheng. I will naturally not treat her badly in the future... As for how to choose between her and Wuyou, the final power is not in me, but in your brother Jiang Mian's own heart! Haha!"
After persuading the little princess who stood up for Murong Qiancheng, Empress Dowager Jiang Xin immediately sent someone to call Chu Jiangmian in front of him. Seeing the handsome and tall figure walking in from the glow of the palace, her face was filled with a gratifying smile.
"Mian'er, have you really decided to go to Qi State in person?"
"Mother, the coast of the East China Sea is extremely important for the development of Zhao State. In order to make the King of Qi and his people feel at ease, it is also to ensure that this land of Qi State is subject to as little as possible to invade war, so that it can play a more important role in the future. I must go there in person to rest assured!"
"My son has really grown up! Your vision is so high that he started to look around the world so early... Your father and I did not see you wrong! Alas! It's just a pity that he can't see any achievements you have made."
Jiang Xin's tone was filled with sadness. In the past six months since the death of King Zhao Chulie, if it weren't for the lieutenant achievements made by her son to support her confidence, she might not have been able to cheer up again.
"Don't worry, my mother. If my plan goes well, after this battle, the territory of Yan and Qi will be the dependents of Zhao!"
This was the first time Chu Jiangmian revealed his ambitions in his heart. In front of the closest person in this world, there was no need to hide anything. Jiang Xin looked at his son in surprise. Even though he had known his uniqueness since childhood, such a map of kings and dominance still scared her a little. However, she just buried her worries deeply in her heart and did not say a word of persuasion. The eagle was about to spread its wings to soar in the sky. All she could do was to make him feel at ease.
"Do as you think, this world is waiting for my son's arrival..."
With deep instructions, Chu Jiangmian said goodbye to his mother Jiang Xin. When he finally visited Murong Qiancheng, the woman looked a little pale and didn't ask anything. She just put the peace talisman sewn by herself on his chest affectionately.
"I want you to agree and never get hurt any more!"
"Don't worry! Qiancheng, for the sword you blocked for me, you will be unharmed in the future!"
She will always be the one who understands him the most, and he will never let her down.
