"Good news from Hexi, good news from Hexi..."
"The Fourth Highness led an army of 10,000 to kill Loulan and the Huns' 150,000 coalition forces..."
early morning!
A fast horse rushed into Kyoto from the direction of Hexi. The huge Kyoto was instantly boiling. Countless people poured into the streets and cheered.
"Tsk tsk! How did the Fourth Highness do it? An army of 10,000 killed an army of 150,000? Is it true or false?"
"Bullshit! The court's victory report is still false!"
"That's right, His Highness the Fourth Prince is descended from Wenquxing. There's nothing he can't do."
"I'm afraid you don't know yet! I heard rumors from businessmen in the Western Regions that His Highness the Fourth Prince just read a poem, and then the mountains collapsed and the earth split, instantly burying Loulan and the 150,000 Xiongnu army."
"It's too mysterious! How is this possible?"
"That's right, it's definitely fake. How could your news be faster than the court's news?"
"It's absolutely true, but it may be too unbelievable. The frontline generals want to verify the authenticity of the news. I heard that countless people have witnessed it with their own eyes. His Royal Highness has been regarded as the Son of God by the countries in the Western Region."
"Not bad! I also heard that it seems that even Prince Jing's Netherworld Cavalry has surrendered to His Highness the Fourth Prince."
"..."
"Miss, my uncle won another battle..."
Lin.
Not long after Caiyun went out, she ran back quickly, her pretty face full of excitement.
In the backyard, the old lady was basking in the sun while teasing little Susu. There was also a veiled woman in plain clothes beside her.
The woman was holding little Susu in her hands. The little guy was babbling and dancing, seemingly very excited.
Su Mingyue was feeding the little guy.
When the little girl heard that her brother-in-law had won another battle, she rushed out of the room, then grabbed Caiyun and kept asking questions.
Caiyun quickly relayed the news.
The little girl was naturally excited, and the servants also cheered, making the whole mansion boil.
However, Su Mingyue and the others just smiled.
"As expected of my brother-in-law, the Loulan Huns are nothing worth mentioning."
The little girl was extremely arrogant, and then she looked at Su Mingyue and said, "Sister-in-law, my brother-in-law beat Loulan and the Huns to a pulp. Will he be back soon?"
Her eyes were shining and she looked like she couldn't wait.
After hearing this, Su Mingyue looked towards the direction of Hexi and said calmly: "I'm afraid it won't be that fast, please wait!"
The little girl was puzzled and didn't bother to ask after that. She ran out of the mansion quickly. Of course, she wanted to inquire about her brother-in-law and listen to the people's compliments about her brother-in-law. After all, it was too popular.
"Are you worried about him?"
The woman in plain clothes asked at this time, the corners of her mouth slightly raised under the veil, "Don't worry, with the Netherworld Cavalry and all the things you prepared for him, everything will be fine."
Su Mingyue smiled, "My husband is so smart, I believe he will be fine, but I didn't expect that under such circumstances, he would go to the grassland."
The woman in plain clothes also frowned slightly.
A look of pride appeared on the old lady's face, "Xiaobai is a good boy. Although he looks lazy, he can distinguish right from wrong. Under such circumstances, he still dealt with the Huns' disaster first. My eldest grandson is amazing!"
Su Mingyue said worriedly: "It's just that His Majesty may not be happy."
The woman in plain clothes said: "He has been unhappy for a long time. I asked you to leave, but both of you refused to leave."
Her tone was somewhat complaining.
The old lady smiled and looked at Su Mingyue.
Su Mingyue smiled and said: "If we don't leave, His Majesty will not take action. If we leave, it will be hard to say."
The woman in plain clothes said: "So what, this day will come sooner or later. Rather than this, the sooner the better. Moreover, this time we are fully prepared, there will definitely be no problem."
Su Mingyue shook her head and said, "I won't leave because I trust my husband."
"My husband is very aware of the current situation, but he didn't say anything. This shows that he has already made a calculation in his mind. Moreover, with the things that your husband invented, we have the ability to protect ourselves even in Kyoto."
The woman in plain clothes was naturally Chu Jingmeng. She glanced at the old lady a little bewilderedly and said, "Twenty years ago I didn't hate you. Twenty years later, it seems I can't hate her anymore."
The old lady smiled happily and stretched out her old hands to hug Chu Jingmeng and Su Mingyue close to their faces.
"God has treated my wife well. I have such a good daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law like you."
"Xiao Bai will definitely be fine. If I really have to choose this time, my old lady will be more selfish."
…
royal palace.
When the good news came, the morning court had not yet ended, and the civil and military officials in the court were excited and congratulated one after another.
Yan Zhenlin looked awake, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Zhu Tianzheng had a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold.
Naturally, he had known the news for a long time, but he had deliberately suppressed it. Now he couldn't suppress it anymore, it had spread everywhere, so he had to do this.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Fourth Highness has opened the Hexi Corridor, promoted our country's prestige, and created an unparalleled achievement. God bless our country."
"That's right! His Majesty the Fourth Highness has an astonishing talent. He is regarded as the Son of God by the countries in the Western Region. He subdued the Netherworld Cavalry and there will be no more troubles in Hexi. Such unparalleled achievements must be heavily rewarded."
"I sincerely request your Majesty to appoint His Royal Highnesses as Crown Princes."
"I second the proposal!"
"..."
In the huge court, some ministers who didn't know the truth were still shouting for the talented man, because in their view, this was already a certainty.
It would be unreasonable if the crown prince was still allowed to escape.
Almost 99% of the courtiers came forward.
Yan Zhenlin still looked like he hadn't woken up, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise.
Zhu Tianzheng's eyelids twitched wildly, with murderous intent surging in his eyes.
For the first time, he felt powerless.
"Great victory on the grassland, great victory on the grassland, His Highness the Fourth Prince led the Netherworld Iron Horse to ride on the grassland, annihilated more than 5,000 horses of the Huns' Lutu tribe, and beheaded King Lutu."
"..."
"The Great Victory on the Grassland, Your Royal Highnesses swept across the Huyan tribe of the Xiongnu, annihilated more than 10,000 Xiongnu people, and beheaded King Huyan."
"..."
"The Netherworld Cavalry swept across the southern Xiongnu and killed the Xiongnu Righteous King."
"..."
The news of success in the grassland came frequently, and the whole Kyoto was completely boiling. The streets were filled with cheering people. It is conceivable that the talented man first opened up the Hexi Corridor and now swept across the grassland.
The reputation has reached an extreme level and cannot be suppressed even if one wants to.
Royal study room.
Zhu Tian's face was ashen and his teeth chattered, "Is this your counterattack?"
At this time, another soldier came to report, "Your Majesty, we have good news from Hexi."
"explain!"
Zhu Tianzheng said angrily that there had never been a moment when he was not only unhappy when hearing the good news, but also furious like he is now.
The soldiers did not dare to be negligent and said quickly: "Your Royal Highnesses swept across the Xiongnu base camp, brought the Xiongnu Chanyu alive, and held a grand ceremony to sacrifice to heaven at Langjuxu, the Xiongnu's sacred mountain."
"Now I have taken the Xiongnu Chanyu with me and are on my way back to the court."
