The number of deaths reduced by several times seems to be a blessing, but in the face of life and death, who is willing to be the party who regrets losing his life?

Those numbers written on the memorials may be someone's husband, wife, father, mother, son, daughter... Behind that are countless lives and countless families.

If the northern border is really as Jiang Xi said, most of the fallen, and even the heart of the northern border like Qingzhou was trampled on by the North Vietnamese army, how many people would die in war disasters? How many people would be displaced?

If the northern border is lost, what about the big cloud? What about the world?

Xiao Hongyu's eyes turned dark, and she almost didn't dare to think deeply, nor did she want to think deeply.

Isn’t this the case with Jiang Xi?

Her location can better see the situation in the world.

Dayun was already weak. Thanks to the previous dynasty Zhaosheng Prince Fuyin, he had not had any war for a hundred years. The people were used to a peaceful and happy life, and the court also intended to suppress the generals who owned the army. Emperor Jingyuan was once suspicious, which made most of Dayun's national strength exhausted in internal struggle.

Looking at the entire Dayun, except for the Duke of Chu who guarded Nansheng, there was only Zhenbei Hou who could fight.

Who can stabilize the situation in the northern border with Zhenbeihou’s death?

At that time, more than half of the land in Dayun will be involved in the war.

Troubled times are so close.

Although Jiang Xi had thought about fighting with the Changsheng Sect and Dayun Chao, she supported Prince Netherworld and tried to help him ascend the throne, she never thought about causing a military disaster from beginning to end, but wanted to complete a peaceful change without bloodshed.

She even had a complete plan. When the situation in the northern border improved slightly, Prince Youming returned from the northern border, she discussed with her and started to do it.

Who has ever thought! Who has ever thought!

Jiang Xi pressed the cushion hard with his fingernails, his eyes were full of anger and the flames were burning.

The rest of the others also held their breath and lamented.

suddenly.

Xiao Hongyu had some strength from where he knelt in front of Jiang Xi, and kowtowed hard to the ground.

Jiang Xi reached out and wanted to help her: "Hongyu, what are you doing?"

Xiao Hongyu held back her tears and refused to stand up: "Please help me with Wu Zun."

Jiang Xi was helpless: "You said, what do you want me to help you?"

"I want to go back to the North!"

Jiang Xi was silent for a while.

"Hongyu, it's too late."

Xiao Hongyu gritted his teeth: "No, it's time. Even if Zhenbeihou... my father died in battle and Yunzhou fell, I will save the people of Qingzhou and save more innocent people from the northern border."

Jiang Xi sighed: "You are just alone."

Xiao Hongyu insisted: "That's better than waiting for news here!"

Jiang Xi knew that Xiao Hongyu was anxious to rush back to the northern border and tried to do something with his own strength, but in front of the heavy wheels of the world's general trend, no matter how solid Xiao Hongyu's arms were, they would only be crushed into pieces.

At this moment, Jiang Ke, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"No, Wu Zun, Xiao Hongyu is not alone."

Jiang Xi and Xiao Hongyu both looked at him together.

Jiang Ke said in a deep voice: "Xiao Hongyu is the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family and the daughter of Zhenbei Hou. Behind her are the Xiao family army, the people of Qingzhou, and countless people who admire the reputation of the Xiao family!"

Xiao Hongyu was stunned.

She murmured and retorted: "But there is Xiao Wei, he is the prince of Zhenbei Hou..."

"Do you know Xiao Wei?"

Jiang Ke's words were like thunder struck Xiao Hongyu.

Xiao Hongyu couldn't speak.

Jiang Ke said coldly: "As far as I know, although Xiao Wei has been named the prince of Zhenbeihou, his actions cannot be recognized by the Xiao family's subordinates. Even the people think that he is powerless and does not deserve to be the prince, nor is heir of Zhenbeihou."

Jiang Ke collected various intelligence information for the Jiang tribe, and he had the clearest understanding of this aspect.

However, after Xiao Hongyu was rescued from the pile of corpses by Jiang Xi, she would not listen to any news from the northern border, just as if she could forget everything by staying away, forgetting her identity, and being tragic to her mother's tragic death.

So, she had no idea that Xiao Wei's reputation would be so bad after being crowned prince.

"The Marquis of Zhenbei is also very disappointed with this prince, but after all, he is the prince. He has worked hard to revive his character." Jiang Ke said sarcastically, "But the country is easy to change and his nature is difficult to change. With the Crown Prince Xiao Wei's personal opinion, if Yunzhou is lost, will he lead troops to help?"

Xiao Hongyu subconsciously shook her head: "Of course not, he will only escape from the battlefield. He is a cowardly and incompetent man!"

"Yes, he will escape, but in the war in the north, where can he escape even if he escapes? He is willing to escape, will his soldiers escape?"

Xiao Hongyu directly denied: "All my men from the north are brave and fearless, how could they be deserters on the battlefield!"

She said it firmly, and her understanding of this matter was deeply rooted in her heart.

Jiang Ke saw it and said, "As far as I know, Emperor Jingyuan intends to seek peace, and wants to transfer Zhenbei Hou back to Chang'an. At today's court meeting, he has already tested the words of the ministers."

Although Emperor Jing Yuan did not put the request for peace on the surface, his war-weary attitude was already very obvious. Otherwise, there would be noisy at the court meeting today, and the pro-war faction and the pro-peace faction would almost fight so hard.

Jiang Ke saw it thoroughly, and Xiao Hongyu responded quickly after giving it a note:

"Then Xiao Wei can leave the northern border with the emperor's order and take away the soldiers..."

After all, the soldiers were obeying orders and returned to Chang'an to defend the emperor. For them, they were also defending their families and the country. They were not considered deserters on the battlefield. Even if some people thought that their homeland in the north refused to leave, most people were probably willing to follow Xiao Wei.

Xiao Hongyu's ideas gradually became clear, and he could almost imagine that these situations were happening in front of him.

Even Jiang Xi looked at Jiang Ke with great admiration.

She thought about the astrological signs and the situation in the world, but she was not as full as Jiang Ke.

"So, Madam Xiao." Jiang Ke called out Xiao Hongyu's name that represents the honor and glory of the Marquis' Mansion. "Please go back to the northern border and gather the soldiers of the Xiao family in the name of Zhenbei Marquis, rise up and resist the North Vietnamese army!"

Xiao Hongyu suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Her ears were buzzing, and in the end she was only her breathing sound.

*

Xiao Hongyu left overnight.

Jiang Xi asked Ji Xing to send her forward. With Ji Xing's skills, Xiao Hongyu could reach the northern border within three days at the shortest time.

Ji Xing knew the priorities. Even if he was worried about Jiang Xi, he did not refuse this order and set out lightly and simply as fast as possible.

Jiang Xi, who was staying in Chang'an, looked at the stars in the sky, silent.

Suddenly, she asked Jiang Ke standing beside her: "Do you think Xiao Hongyu can do it?"

Jiang Ke smiled and said, "Wu Zun brought her by his side to teach her, don't he just hope to see this day?"

Jiang Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Ke, then chuckled.

"I wish her to find that path soon."

And she should go her path.
