The newly established prince Tang Fan died in a dry well in the cold palace together with his biological mother. Tang Yuan was extremely busy all day long.
Yan Zhu wanted to help Tang Yuan share his worries, and helped Tang Yuan solve it one by one. At such a young age, he looked even more tired than an adult.
Lingyue had been following Yan Zhu for two or three years and was very confused. Looking at her sleepy appearance, she couldn't help but ask the question she had been hiding in her heart.
"Why are you so nice to everyone?"
Yan Zhu was so sleepy that he lay beside the desk, closing his eyes as he muttered: "If I don't treat you well, I will die... If I don't reach the favorability level, I won't be able to go home..."
Lingyue's ears were so strong that she could hear clearly even if Yan Zhu's voice was soft.
It's just that she doesn't understand what favorability means, let alone where Yan Zhu is going back.
But she understood something. Yan Zhu seemed to be threatened by something, so he treated everyone around him well.
Lingyue leaned over and lifted the half-grown person up and put her on the bed. Just as she was about to get up, Yan Zhu held her arms around her neck and put one leg around her waist.
"What's wrong with you? You have to hold something in your arms every time you sleep." Lingyue's eyes were full of doting, "It would be great if you were only so kind to me..."
Thinking of this, there was a hint of bitterness on the corners of her lips, and she lay down next to Yan Zhu. His slender hands hooked her waist and brought her into his arms.
Yan Zhu's little head searched for a soft place, found a comfortable position, rubbed it, and fell asleep.
Lingyue felt the warmth of the person in her arms and stared at the rafters in trance.
After a long while, he murmured in a low voice.
"That's all, if you are only nice to me, you are no longer Tang Qingzhu. It's just an emergency on the border. If you, a little girl, come up with evil ideas, those reckless men won't take it seriously."
Lingyue's eyes turned to Yan Zhu's sleeping face, and her eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes.
"If you are nice to me because you want me to become a general, I am very happy that I am made to be a general."
After losing three cities in a row, the pressure in the court was extremely low.
When Tang Yuan was so angry that he wanted to chop off someone's head for an unknown number of times, Lingyue stepped into the Golden Palace wearing armor.
"Chen Lingyue is willing to lead the army to retake the city!"
Tang Yuan frowned, and for a while the hall was so quiet that it made people breathless.
King Linan's face was even more gloomy: "You are just a little secret guard. If you don't guard the little princess, you want to lead troops to seize the city!"
"Yes, not to mention how can a woman lead troops to fight, and how can the generals obey her?" The minister below agreed.
"My father is a first-class general personally appointed by the late emperor. I am willing to be the princess's secret guard. I obey the princess's orders, and I am even more willing to do my part for the country."
Lingyue waved the battle flag on her shoulders, glanced at the courtiers, and raised a hint of ridicule at the corner of her mouth.
"Nowadays, no one in the court can lead the army. I dare to make a declaration of life and death. How dare you? Or do you really want to wait for the enemy to attack the capital? The people of Qin Dynasty are suffering from natural disasters and wars at the same time, instead of sticking to the rules and guarding Your useless woman can't go to the battlefield!"
All the ministers were choked speechless and could only look at Tang Yuan and King Linan.
Inside, there was a military general who was nearly forty years old, looking at Ling Yue with tears in his eyes.
The heroic woman in front of him gradually merged with the figure of the general who fought on the battlefield in the past. Suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, he took a step forward and knelt down on one knee.
"I am willing to issue a military order together with Lingyue and lead the troops to retake our territory of Great Qin!"
Just as King Linan was about to say something, Tang Yuan started to slap the case.
"Okay!" Tang Yuan stepped down from the high platform, helped the general up and turned to look at Lingyue, "As expected of the general's daughter. What happened back then has already been found out, and the general was also posthumously named, so what about the woman? I will Let you lead 30,000 troops to take back our territory of Great Qin!"
After Ling Yue received the order, she immediately prepared to go to the frontier, but she kept looking back, as if she was waiting for someone.
Just as she got on her horse and prepared to lead her troops to leave, a figure half as tall as a man ran towards her from far to near.
"Lingyue!"
Yan Zhu called her before anyone arrived, fearing that she wouldn't hear her and would miss her.
Lingyue heard the sound and walked away. The reins she held in her hands tightened again and again, and she was full of tangles in her heart.
She never told Yan Zhu about this. She was afraid of separation, afraid of dying on the battlefield and never seeing Yan Zhu again. She was even more afraid of seeing Yan Zhu crying like he had fainted when he saw Tang Fan's death not long ago.
"Set off!"
He kicked the horse's belly and rode away without looking back.
The deputy general next to him looked confused. He looked at the little princess who was running out of breath, and then looked at Ling Yue who had already run a certain distance. He quickly saluted the little princess and then led his soldiers to get on their horses and chase after her.
Yan Zhu was so angry that he stamped his feet and yelled at Lingyue without giving up: "You must come back to see me alive——"
The deputy general looked back at the little princess and sighed in his heart. As a soldier, he understood why Lingyue avoided seeing the little princess.
The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. If you are not careful, you will die. What you fear most is separation.
Lingyue recaptured three cities with 30,000 troops. During this period, there were many difficulties and obstacles. First, he had to convince the public to kill chickens to scare monkeys, and then he had inferior and useless weapons and a shortage of food and grass.
She relied on the military skills she had learned from Yan Zhu's side in the past two or three years, as well as her many years as a killer to go straight into the depths of the enemy's army and kill his generals, and her determination to go back alive to see Yan Zhu. , carving out a bloody path.
When she returned to Beijing again, there were only less than 10,000 soldiers left out of 30,000, and she was seriously injured in many places. Fortunately, she came back alive to see Yan Zhu.
When he stepped into the palace gate, Yan Zhu saw Ling Yue from afar and rushed over to hug her waist.
Lingyue's whole body softened, and she knelt down to hug her back, but heard her gnashing her teeth in her shoulder.
"You ran behind my back without saying a word and ran to your father to sign a military order. You clearly saw me but you ran away without looking back. Am I some kind of mean little girl?! I have already lost my eldest brother. I will lose you again." ,What should I do……"
Yan Zhu's voice trembled at the end of the sentence, and Lingyue's heart felt as if someone had tightly grasped it.
Yan Zhu broke away from Lingyue's arms, grabbed her hand and wanted to bite it, but saw the hideous scab on her hand.
Feeling a tear fall on the back of her hand, Lingyue stretched out her hand to lift her little face and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"I'm the general's daughter. I haven't seen you grow up yet. How could I die?"
However, Yan Zhu cried even harder, and Ling Yue finally coaxed her and rushed to the Jinluan Palace to return to her life. However, Yan Zhu still shed tears when she looked at Ling Yue's back.
It wasn't until Lingyue was no longer visible that she murmured: "But you can't see me growing up... Your ending is to die on the battlefield... I tried to prevent the eldest brother from ending, but it still didn't happen. Escape the plot..."
Ling Yue became famous in this battle, was promoted to a high rank, and became the first female general of the Qin Dynasty.
He repeatedly blocked the expansion of King Linnan's power in the court, but he just didn't want to see a small person like Yan Zhu compete with King Linan again.
Although she didn't know why Yan Zhu had to deal with King Linan, she felt that the little princess must have her own reasons for doing so.
She only needs to protect the little princess and what the little princess wants to protect.
In the past few years, the enemy countries have been provoking everywhere, and Lingyue has no time to care about anything else. She spends almost seven or eight months of the year on the battlefield, and Yan Zhu can't stop her at all.
During this time, Lingyue found out many things about King Linnan, and even colluded with Yunqi State. King Linnan was very cautious, leaving no evidence behind, and involved many key courtiers.
Until one day Tianlingyue sneaked into the enemy's camp to inquire for information, and heard that the prince of Yunqi Kingdom was coming to the battlefield in person. He would soon be able to capture the border defense. At that time, King Linnan would mobilize his troops to rebel, and took the opportunity to directly destroy the Qin Kingdom, and then use The hands of the Qin State killed the young brother. He was Yunqi's only prince, and the crown prince's position must belong to him.
Lingyue's heart tightened. King Linan's ambition was obvious, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly. It seemed that he couldn't hold it back any longer.
Looking through a gap in the military tent, he was thinking about whether to kill him directly and then withdraw to the army.
Just as a cold wind blew through the gap, the man looked in her direction.
The moment their eyes met, Ling Yue's hands were faster than his brain. A silver needle flew out of his sleeve and shot straight into his throat, killing him with one needle.
The man fell down before he even had time to say anything.
Another man in luxurious clothing looked at Ling Yue with interest without even looking at the lifeless person on the ground.
The soldiers outside the military tent had already surrounded the military tent when they heard the commotion. Lingyue quickly threw a silver needle at the man, but he dodged it.
"I never expected that a woman would dare to penetrate deep into our army and kill the deputy general."
The man was very skilled. He crossed his arms and looked at Another Yue who was surrounded by his own soldiers and was being beaten passively. His eyes were full of calculations.
"It seems that you are the feared female general Lingyue, right? It's a joke for a woman to lead troops in war. There is really no one left in the Qin State. Go back and find someone to marry and raise children! I heard that you are still the one who fought back Our general Yunqi’s daughter is really better than her peers, I think it’s nothing more than that.”
Lingyue's eyes gradually became cold, and she struck a fatal blow at the soldiers who rushed up in front of her. However, it seemed that they were endlessly killed. She knew that as a killer, she should not fight with others head-on.
Seizing the opportunity to pass over the many soldiers, the dagger in his hand was stabbed straight in the direction of the man. The man dodged sideways. Lingyue predicted that he would dodge, and had already quietly shot a silver needle towards the position where he was dodging with her other hand.
"Then let you taste what it's like to die at the hands of a woman."
As soon as he finished speaking, he used Qinggong and flew out of the military tent.
Just as the man was about to chase after him, he suddenly realized that he couldn't exert any strength, his vision was blurred, and he couldn't hear the sounds around him clearly.
He lowered his head and saw some blood oozing from his waist and abdomen. He raised his hand and pulled out the silver needle. The black blood on the needle tip and the reaction of his body showed that he had been poisoned.
"Lingyue, I remember you."
