1254. Chapter 1254 The Lesson of Blood—The Battlefield Is Not a Game 01
With the eldest lady’s nature and temperament, she is not like some frivolous women. Does that mean that she will gradually forget the prince and no longer like him. Although she doesn’t like herself now, it doesn’t mean that she won’t like him in the future.
.
He was thinking wildly but didn't waste much time. He said almost immediately: "I like you, I can wait, I will try my best to make you like me. Please don't deprive me of this wish."
He looked at her longingly, fearing that she would reject him and say that she would rather not marry than marry him.
The eldest lady had a look of helplessness in her eyes, and wanted to ask him to reconsider, but when she looked into his eyes, she felt that his eyes lit up instantly and were filled with the desire for life. She couldn't bear it, so she had no choice but to bid farewell.
The weather in May is already getting hotter. The north is busy harvesting wheat while taking advantage of the good weather, while in the south it is raining more and more, and the air is gradually becoming hot and humid, which makes people uncomfortable. Especially after the march, the whole body is sticky.
This was the case with Su Chi. The physical discomfort was one aspect, and the other aspect was that things were not going well.
His eagerness to perform meritorious service and suppress the momentum of Huangfu Jin and Huangfu Jue was thwarted. He originally thought that if he did this errand for the prince, the prince would have more prestige in the court, and the emperor would be more satisfied with the prince.
Now he has led hundreds of people stationed on the only road to the exit of Pheasant Mountain, neither advancing nor retreating.
He received Huangfu Jin's military order asking him to return. Naturally, he refused to obey it casually, but he did not dare to attack if he was asked.
Pheasant Mountain is actually a hilltop among the winding mountains. At first glance, it looks like rolling hills with dangerous terrain. There is only a narrow stone path leading in and out of the mountain gate. Originally, there was a wooden boardwalk outside for horse riding, but due to the government's attack, it was closed down.
All were destroyed by bandits.
He also looked at the map. There is another road in the back mountain, which can be climbed over the Tiger Mountain. Unfortunately, it is a ropeway, more than ten feet long, and has been cut off long ago.
Now there is only one passage in and out of Pheasant Mountain, and there is no way to attack it, so he ordered people to guard it, not believing that they could keep their composure.
Thinking about it, he was so angry that his eyes were on fire.
After he arrived in Laizhou, although the officials were all very enthusiastic and even called them brothers, when it came to borrowing troops, they all became embarrassed and started to blame each other.
