"Great victory in the southwest, great victory in the southwest..."
Kyoto.
It was still dawn, and a fast horse rushed into Kyoto like lightning. The silent streets were awakened, and curious people poked their heads out.
Whispering.
As soon as Caiyun opened the door, she heard the sound and ran back excitedly, "Miss, miss, there is good news for eight hundred miles to the southwest..."
"Did my brother-in-law win the battle?"
The little girl rushed out quickly, her pretty face full of excitement.
Su Mingyue also had expectations on her face.
When her husband went to the battlefield, although her behavior was not much different from usual, in fact, she could not sleep all night and her heart was always hanging.
"That's right! The messenger went to the palace."
"It must be brother-in-law."
Su Lingyue said, "No, I have to ask."
As she said that, she was about to leave.
Su Mingyue said: "Where are you going to ask? Wait a moment, maybe there will be news soon."
"Sister, you can calm down but I can't. I have to ask the Seventh Princess."
The little girl said and ran away quickly.
Just as Su Mingyue was about to stop her, the old lady came at some point and said, "Let her go! Caring is caring, there is no need to hide it."
With a kind smile on her face, she looked at Su Mingyue and continued: "Don't worry, Xiaobai will be fine."
"Um!"
Su Mingyue nodded.
royal palace.
At this time, it was morning, and the news of victory came from outside the main hall. Zhu Tianzheng's eyes widened, "Hurry up!"
"Your Majesty, a great victory in the Southwest. Lord Lin led 3,000 Southwest Allied Forces to ambush the Tiger and Wolf Army, annihilating more than 2,500 of the Tiger and Wolf Army, and the King of Dali Zhenbei was seriously injured and retreated..."
What?
As soon as these words came out, the whole court exploded instantly.
The reputation of the Tiger and Wolf Army is not limited to the southwest. How could all the ministers not know that, and even the King of Dali Zhenbei was injured?
He Donglai, Minister of War, knew better what this meant and asked quickly: "What are the casualties of our army?"
"Less than a hundred killed and less than two hundred wounded."
this?
The courtroom was boiling with excitement, and everyone's faces were filled with disbelief.
No wonder, no one can believe such a thing. Even Zhu Tianzheng was in a daze and said quickly: "Quick! Submit the good news."
"Hahaha!!!"
After reading the victory report, Zhu Tianzheng laughed heartily, "Okay! Well done! This battle was beautifully fought, all my dear friends, take a look."
Yan Zhenlin was the first to receive the good news.
A group of ministers also gathered around.
It was indeed unbelievable, but after watching it, all of their faces were filled with shock.
"A miracle, simply a miracle. To wipe out the tiger and wolf army at such a small cost is incredible."
"Master Lin is a god in his military use. With only 3,000 temporarily formed Southwest Allied Forces, he almost completely wiped out 3,000 tiger and wolf troops. It is really unbelievable."
"Good fight! Duan Zhenglong showed off his power in the southwest battlefield before. Let's see how rampant he is this time."
"Your Majesty, Mr. Lin has both civil and military talents and must be rewarded heavily."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Tiger and Wolf Army has been defeated and the crisis in the southwest has been completely resolved."
"..."
All kinds of compliments and encouraging voices came from above the court.
Zhu Tianzheng laughed loudly, "Today's morning meeting will be here. The news of the southwest victory will be announced immediately so that the people can celebrate together."
"..."
"Hahaha!!"
Back in the imperial study, Zhu Tianzheng still couldn't help laughing because he understood what this battle meant.
Duan Zhenglong was defeated and injured. This must be a huge blow to Dali's morale, so the next step will be much easier.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for winning this battle. We are more than halfway to our goal."
Yan Zhenlin's eyes were also full of joy.
Just kidding, let’s not talk about his uncle. Excluding this, being able to wash away the shame is also an exciting thing. If you include your uncle, it will be even more different.
Zhu Tianzheng laughed and said: "This brat is so brave. He took advantage of the Meihe River Triangle and instead of going to Tianlang Pass, Duan Zhenglong came to visit him like this. It was really unexpected."
"Duan Zhenglong has been an eagle all his life, but this time his eyes were pecked out by my eagle. Let's see how he can show off his power in the future."
"Hahaha!!"
"..."
Compared with Zhu Tianzheng's excitement, some people couldn't be happier, and Yang Guozhong was one of them.
After the court was over, he couldn't help but walk towards the Right Prime Minister Yu Changqing and lowered his voice: "Master Yu, what should we do now? Lin Qingfeng is even more arrogant."
Yu Changqing still looked sleepy, "Didn't the eldest prince lose the battle? This battle has nothing to do with him."
Yang Guozhong was stunned for a moment.
It seems so. This battle has nothing to do with the eldest prince. As for Lin Qingfeng, no matter how arrogant he is, he is still a minister.
However, if this minister and the fourth prince do not deal with each other, they will be trouble after all.
Yu Changqing glanced at him, his eyes narrowed even more tightly, and he murmured: "It's time to start some things."
With that said, he left without looking back.
Yang Guozhong's eyes flickered, and then he left in a hurry.
"Sister, he is brother-in-law. He is really brother-in-law. Brother-in-law won a great victory..."
In the Lin Mansion, the little girl ran back excitedly, but soon discovered that Yan Ruxue had arrived and was talking and laughing with the eldest sister.
"Sister Ruxue, why are you here so soon? Do you already know?"
"My husband won the battle, so naturally I will be the first to tell my eldest sister."
Yan Ruxue smiled.
The little girl felt that she had been taken first and was a little unhappy, but remembering that her brother-in-law had won the battle, she didn't care anymore and said excitedly: "As expected of my brother-in-law, I have long known that my brother-in-law can win the battle. I must let my brother-in-law take me to fight next time. .”
Caiyun also muttered, "It's better to chase the moon. If I could follow my uncle all the time, I would have learned martial arts if I had known."
The little girl's eyes lit up, yes! Practice martial arts.
It’s not too late!
Immediately she found two swords and started gesturing with Caiyun.
Her voice filled the entire mansion, which was very lively, and the servants were also very happy. After all, my uncle had won the battle.
But Su Mingyue and Yan Ruxue had already entered the study room at this time.
Yan Ruxue glanced around to make sure there was no one around, then lowered her voice and said, "Sister, I've already asked people to check them out. There are a lot of suspicious identities."
"Including the first batch of veterans to join."
Su Mingyue frowned, "The first batch?"
Yan Ruxue nodded, "There are also servants in the house, some of whom entered the Su family earlier than my husband."
What!
Su Mingyue's face changed slightly. After the Jinling Veteran Logistics incident, she had people secretly check the Kyoto side. Soon, she discovered the problem.
Then he and Yan Ruxue started to investigate, from ordinary workers to senior workers to people around them, more and more suspicious people were found.
Now there are the first batch of veterans, and some even entered the Su family earlier than their husbands. This...
Yan Ruxue asked: "Sister, is there really no problem with my husband's identity? Do you want to find these people out?"
Su Mingyue was silent because she was not sure either.
After a while, he said: "Just keep an eye on it for now, and then we'll talk about everything after my husband comes back."
Yan Ruxue nodded, "Okay! I'll dispatch some guards to the house to ensure the safety of eldest sister and little Susu."
