The three words fell slowly on Yuan You's tongue, turning into a mouthful of boiling water and sliding into his heart, making the blood all over his body feel like it was boiling.
He needed political achievements too much to rectify his name, seize power, secure his throne and stabilize the shaky loyalty of the Northern Dynasties ministers.
Zhou Rong's outrageous act of killing more than 2,000 members of the clan's clan engraved deep-rooted fear in the hearts of the Northern Dynasty ministers. If he continued to do nothing and left these ministers with no hope, they would gradually become numb and become Zhou Rong's
Golems and minions.
"You just let it go and I will bear all the consequences!"
Yuan You shouted loudly, his amber eyes clear and firm.
Jun Ci noticed that Yuan You's hand hanging on one side was clenched tightly, and his body was even trembling slightly in the thin sand stirred up by the night wind. This was a sign of desperation and full of expectation.
"Your Majesty, I am ashamed of you." Jun Ci dug out the dry food and handed it to Yuan You. He looked directly at the emperor with eyes shining like stars in the night, "Your Majesty, although my daughter is young, she is not frivolous and never loses her chance of winning.
battle!"
Donghu and Rouran have always been a serious worry for them. Just as His Majesty Taizong described them, they are both crawling, centipede insects, dead but not stiff!
She had witnessed with her own eyes the Donghu people who invaded the Northern Dynasty, humiliated women and children, killed the elderly, and tortured and killed young children.
Waving the blood-soaked knife, she looked up to the sky and laughed wildly. That joyous and crazy laughter was still engraved in her mind. Every time she thought of it, it could arouse her suppressed murderous thoughts.
In the past three years, she has been seizing the opportunity to sneak into the desert, measuring the yellow sand in this land that is regarded as a devil with her feet.
It’s for this battle!
"I believe you." Yuan You took the rations and sat beside Jun Ci, not wanting to cut his throat with the rations.
Together with Jun Ci, he ate with great vigor, as if he were a delicacy in the world.
After eating some dry food, Jun Ci watched the afterglow of the setting sun recede to the horizon. She snapped her fingers, and Achi, who was also full of hay, ran over.
The stolen horse also followed.
Jun Ci unloaded some things and got on his horse.
Yuan You stood up immediately: "Where are you going?"
"There are wolves in the desert at night. The wolves here are particularly ferocious. There is water here, which is what these living creatures like. If Your Majesty wants to sleep peacefully, I need to prepare something to fill their bellies."
Jun Ci rode on Ah Chi, grabbed the reins and said to Yuan You: "There is still a quarter of an hour left for nightfall, and the wolves will start to move out in about an hour. I will be back within an hour. Your Majesty is waiting for me here..."
After a pause, Jun Ci pointed to the cloth bag that fell out of the luggage she had unloaded, "If Your Majesty has nothing to do, you can cut some hay. When we go deeper tomorrow, it will be extremely difficult to find hay to feed the horses."
.”
She simply gave Yuan You something to do so that he wouldn't scare himself when it gets dark and Yuan You thinks wildly.
"I'll go with you." Yuan You didn't want to be left behind.
Jun Ci took a look at Yuan You's tall and slender figure, and said politely: "Your Majesty, please stay."
Yuan You, who was about to get on his horse, paused. He grew up under Zhou Rong's nose, how could he be good at martial arts? Jun Ci felt that he was a burden.
Holding the reins tightly, Yuan You did not insist: "It's okay to let me stay, but you need to tell me where you are going and what you are doing?"
"Go back." Jun Ci turned around and looked in the direction they came from, "If my daughter's prediction is correct, Donghu and even Rouran who are alerted will send people to chase you and me.
It's getting late today, they don't dare to go any further, and they will know that we don't dare to go any further either.
There are many of them, so they can take turns keeping watch all night. They will surely follow them as soon as the light comes out tomorrow.
Your Majesty and your daughter must not take turns taking breaks or stay up all night. Otherwise, how will they have the energy to fight tomorrow?
I will turn back now and kill the man. Firstly, I can lure the wolves away, and secondly, I can recharge my batteries with Your Majesty tonight."
There is a third thing that Jun Ci doesn’t want to talk about.
She might be able to endure the cold and cold night in the desert, but His Majesty's skin and tender flesh would be affected by the wind and cold in the desert, which would hinder her even more.
Donghu and Rouran will not leave too many people to garrison, because they have not thought about spending the night in the desert in advance, so they will not be too prepared, but the people left behind must be fully stocked, just for her to use.
Jun Ci, who has been fighting against the Hu people all year round, has become tainted with banditry without knowing it, so he grabs whatever is needed!
The girl spoke slowly, not gently but not forcefully, but Yuan You knew that she had made up her mind and no one could change it.
"Go, I believe you." Yuan You loosened the reins in his hands and said to Jun Ci.
I believe you can escape unscathed.
I believe you will come back soon!
"Your Majesty, remember to mow the grass." Jun Ci said nothing before riding away.
Yuan You watched her go away, watching her disappear the moment it was about to turn into night, seemingly taking away all the light and turning the world into darkness.
It was at this moment that Yuan You realized that Jun Ci was like a girl with light.
In order not to frighten the emperor, as soon as Jun Ci left Yuan You's sight, he raised his whip and galloped, his horse hooves galloping on the thick yellow sand, almost silent in the night wind.
After galloping for about two quarters of an hour, Jun Ci reined in his horse, jumped lightly onto the sand, and patted Ah Chi: "Ah Chi, I'll be counting on you soon."
Ah Chi tilted his head, looking like he didn't want to be ordered around.
Jun Ci touched its neck before patting it to the other side. She tied a piece of cloth herself, wrapped it around her neck and dropped it from her shoulders, covering half of her face, revealing her eyes that were immediately stained with fatigue, like a ghost.
Float forward.
After walking about fifty steps, the light of the fire came into view. Several strong men gathered around the fire. A tent was set up with thick cloth, and you could vaguely see the furry fur inside.
Under the light of the fire, these furs became shiny and soft, as bright as the light in Jun Ci's eyes when he saw them.
"Who is it?" As Jun Ci approached, a strong man rushed over with a fierce look. When he saw that it was a thin woman, he lowered his guard.
"Warrior, can you give me some water?" Jun Ci licked his chapped lips, his eyes full of longing.
Jun Ci speaks Rouran language, and she knows both Donghu and Rouran languages!
The person in front of him was not from Donghu, but Rouran, who had heard the news and wanted to take advantage of it.
At a glance, there were only four people!
As soon as they heard Jun Ci's fluent Rouran words, the soldiers knew that they were from the same clan. These people were in the military camp all year round and rarely saw women. Their eyes changed instantly: "It turns out to be A-mei. A-mei wants water? Brother
It’s not that I can’t give it to you…”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to lift Jun Ci's veil, but Jun Ci, whose eyes suddenly became sharp, grabbed his wrist with such force that he couldn't break free at all.
"you……"
"Crack!" Before the sound came out, Jun Ci forcefully folded his hand, and the sound of bones dislocating was extremely clear.
Before the man could cry out in pain, Jun Ci forcefully pulled him forward, raised his leg and kicked him in the chest. As soon as he let go, he flew towards the tent.
Jun Ci: When money is scarce, grab money; when supplies are scarce, grab supplies; when food is scarce, grab food; when there is a shortage, grab whatever you need!
Author: Are you short of men?
Jun Ci: I’m short of men to grab… No, I’m not short of men!
