He lowered his head and glanced at the peace charm in his hand.
Suddenly he thought of that little goblin-like girl. When he thought that there was such a person waiting for him in the palace, he felt that everything was going forward.
I don't know if she blamed him for being away for such a long time.
When Jiang Bo thought of this, he lowered his head and smiled.
It's almost time to go back.
"Your Majesty..."
Just at this time, Ji Cong came in a hurry from outside.
Jiang Bo panicked and quickly hid the amulet in his sleeve.
"Is something wrong?" He turned back to look at Ji Cong.
"Letter from Jinling." Ji Cong looked panicked and said hurriedly: "The prince of Qinghe County wants to avenge the princess of Zhenguo. He colludes with the Northern Qi Dynasty, borrows troops to go south, and asks the court to hand over the Queen Mother!"
"What?"
Jiang Bo was startled, and his usual calm tone could not hide his panic.
"What...when did it happen?"
"It has been more than two months. Now the army is moving south. There are no capable generals in the court. It is about to attack Jinling City."
Two months...
Why did it take two whole months for the news to reach Youyun only at this time?
Did someone deliberately hide it?
Confused! He obviously tried to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but he didn't tell him immediately what on earth those officials in the DPRK were doing?
"Where is your Majesty?" Jiang Bo was flustered, but he held his temper and wanted to ask clearly.
"Your Majesty's attitude is unclear, but the mainstream voice in the court now is to hand over the Queen Mother. Hundreds of officials are forcing you to do so, but I'm afraid your Majesty won't be able to withstand it for long."
"That's ridiculous!" Ji Cong couldn't help but cursed a few times.
"Who is the Queen Mother? It's obvious that the other party is not interested in drinking. Wouldn't it be a shame to hand over the Queen Mother at this time?"
Ji Cong didn't understand what the general cared about, but he was also a military general who had guarded the border for many years.
Anyone with a little bit of common sense will know that the "demon slaying queen" is just a pretense.
Who is the Prince of Qinghe County? What matters is the ambition of the Northern Qi Dynasty behind him.
Is it possible that when the three emperors changed their uterus, under the name of "Qingjun side", they really went there because of the few treacherous ministers around the late emperor?
I don’t know what the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China are thinking about when they are full of books from sages and sages.
It's actually not as good as him, a reckless guy who doesn't know how to type.
Ji Cong cursed in his heart, but Jiang Bo couldn't help it anymore.
"Ji Cong, give the order to go down, organize the troops, and return to the capital!"
In just a moment, the general's face turned pale.
"Back...back to Beijing?"
"But...but..."
Before Ji Cong finished speaking, he saw that the general had already stood up and walked out of the account.
"General!" Ji Cong shouted behind him.
"But there is no imperial edict to return to Beijing now, and we will soon defeat the Sixteenth Province of Youyun. Isn't it a pity to leave now?"
But Jiang Bo was not willing to listen. He had already called the horse and got on it.
"General!"
Ji Cong stood in front of Jiang Bo.
"What are you doing, General?"
"I will return to Beijing to investigate the situation first, and you and the soldiers will follow." Jiang Bo tightened the reins of his horse as he spoke.
Ji Cong has been following him for many years, and he would be considered a unique figure in other military camps, so he is relieved to let him organize the troops and march.
"General!" But Ji Cong said anxiously: "But even if you go back alone, it will not help, and there is no imperial edict now. What should I do if His Majesty blames me?
"
"You will not be subject to military orders abroad!"
Jiang Bo's voice also became urgent: "Ji Cong, I'll leave the rest to you."
Jiang Bo only said this, tightened the reins of his horse, heard the sound of "drive", and already galloped forward.
Why doesn't he know that going back alone now won't do much good.
But knowing that she was in danger, he couldn't wait any longer.
Even if I could get closer to her, even if I could get some more news about her, it would be good.
Concern leads to chaos. He no longer has time to think about whether this is the right thing to do. All he can think about is how his Queen Mother is doing now. Is she scared? Is she waiting for him to go back to save him?
The horse's hooves are flying and it is running forward desperately.
"General, general..." Ji Cong was left shouting into the snow.
But how could the general answer him? All he was left with was a string of horse hoof prints in the snow.
It was soon buried by the wind and snow.
General... just left like this?
Ji Cong hasn't come back to his senses yet. He has known the general for so many years and followed him in many battles. This is the most reckless thing the general has ever done.
As expected, the general really cares about the world.
Ji Cong thought like this, and his admiration for the general couldn't help but deepen.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother..."
In the Chaoyun Hall, the grape vines have climbed up the shelves, and the winter jasmine flowers are blooming brilliantly and joyfully.
The little girl Chunya came in a hurry from outside wearing a goose-yellow skirt with a smile on her face.
"What's wrong?"
Inside the house, Mu Qingchao was dragging his cheek and playing with coins.
She is so bored.
But Chunya rushed in and threw herself on her knees: "Great, great, the prince is back."
"Your Highness...is back." The copper in Mu Qingchao's hand suddenly slipped and hit with a "clack" sound.
"Yes, there is news from the border that the prince has gathered his army and returned to Beijing. It is estimated that he will arrive at Jinling City in three to five days.
Great, as soon as the prince comes back, he doesn't care about Prince Qinghe or Prince Hunhe, and secretly drives him away, so there is no need to call you out again."
Chun Ya was so happy that there was finally hope for what she had been worrying about for months. She had absolute trust in Jiang Bo.
"My slave knows that the prince is a kind and righteous man, and he will definitely not ignore you, the queen mother."
In fact, Chunya didn't know much about Mu Qingchao and Jiang Bo, but she could feel that the prince treated the queen mother differently.
Not to mention anything else, the last time the second young lady went on an expedition, the prince arranged for the second young lady to enter the military camp without saying a word.
Chun Ya secretly felt that the Queen Mother was worthy of such a person.
But at this moment, Mu Qingchao was temporarily distracted, and the only sound in his ears was his own "dong-dong" heartbeat.
After a while, she suddenly realized something.
"Your Majesty, was it recalled by His Majesty? Has Northern Qi been defeated, or has he received an imperial edict?"
"this……"
Chun Ya was stunned.
"This servant doesn't know. Some time ago, I went everywhere to inquire, but I didn't hear that His Majesty went to the frontier to send any imperial edict."
"Hi……"
When Chun Ya said this, she smiled carelessly.
"What does it matter to him? As long as he comes back, won't it be fine? The prince has taken care of things, and since he is back, there will be no problem."
no problem?
But why does Mu Qingchao always feel unsure?
I have been having nightmares these past few days, and I feel so panicked when I wake up.
I have never felt so scared before, not even when I was in prison in my previous life.
I always feel like there is something big waiting for me ahead, a big thing that I can't even handle.
