"Yes, General! They killed so many of our soldiers, and we must settle this account with them!"
The soldiers were furious. Ling Xuewei stood outside, winked at Yue Feng next to her, then turned and left.
"Empress."
"General Zong is here, please sit down."
Zong You walked in and happened to catch up with Ling Xuewei having dinner. He was worried about Zi Rong's situation and did not bother to salute, "Your Majesty, General Zi Rong..."
"Don't worry, old general, he is out of danger. He just needs to be observed for a few more days. You can visit him after two days."
Although there were still many questions in his heart, Zong You endured them and did not ask them.
"General, there is no need to be formal. Sit down. General, can you have dinner? Why don't you come with me?"
Before he could open his mouth, Ling Xuewei said, "Xiong Cang, give the general a pair of bowls and chopsticks."
Zong You had no choice but to swallow his words of rejection.
Xiong Cang brought a brand new pair of bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of Zong You.
Zong You said quickly, "Thank you, Madam."
"I've been eating very lightly recently, and I don't know if these dishes are to the general's taste. Please give me some, please."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome."
Zong You didn't squint his eyes, he sat upright and didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
For some reason, Zong You couldn't help but feel nervous when facing her, despite the fact that the person in front of him was a girl in her twenties and eighties.
The aura and pressure that Ling Xuewei invisibly exuded made Zong You feel like he was facing the emperor.
Zong You didn't know what he had eaten during the meal. In short, when Xiong Cang placed the newly brewed tea in front of him, he suddenly came back to his senses.
Zong You's mind gradually calmed down.
After a moment, he put down the cup and said, "If you have any orders, please just tell me."
"General Zong, what do you think of my tea?"
Ling Xuewei's sudden words made Zong You slightly stunned.
"Your Majesty, the general is a rough man and doesn't know the tea ceremony. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Ling Xuewei chuckled, "This tea, whether it is the centuries-old Dahongpao from Wuling Mountain, the top bamboo and snow extract from Snow Mountain, or the Yunwu Junshan from Lushan Mountain, in the eyes of tea lovers, it is a supreme treasure. But for people like the general,
In the eyes, they are no different from ordinary tea and plain water, because they have only one function, and that is to quench thirst."
"Tea ceremony pays attention to tranquility of mind, tea leaves, tea water, heat and tea sets. I, Fanxu, have always used "beauty", "harmony", "quietness" and "purity" to express the highest state of tea ceremony."
"It's just that in my eyes, tea ceremony only has four words."
"Pick it up and put it down."
Hearing this, Zong You's eyes flashed.
Ling Xuewei took a sip of tea and continued, "I know that the general has been grieving because of the tragic defeat of Ye Ming Qilin's army, and he wishes to kill Mo Linyuan. But you have to remember that you are the commander-in-chief, and the most taboo thing for a commander-in-chief is
Acting on impulse, losing calm mind and judgment."
Zong You was shocked, "Empress..."
"Does General Zong want to take advantage of Mo Linyuan's reorganization to lead his army in a surprise attack?"
This time, Zong You's expression completely changed.
Zong You lifted up his military robe and suddenly knelt down, "Mother! The demons killed tens of thousands of my soldiers! They invaded my land, and the general can't turn a blind eye! Those soldiers who sacrificed their lives are all men of iron bones from me, Fanxu."
! But now my subordinates can only watch them die tragically in the hands of the demons, and even the bones cannot be recovered. The general is really... unbearable!"
"I, Fanxu, have been fighting against the demons for many years and have fought countless battles! None of the soldiers under my command are afraid! If the demons dare to invade my land, there will be no return for them! Tell them that anyone who dares to invade my country, Fanxu, will never return.
, I, General Fanxu, swear to death! Only in this way can we comfort those loyal and brave men and the 20,000 heroic souls who sacrificed their lives!"
The clanking sound resounded through the air, like war drums and thunder!
"General Zong is like this, does he want more soldiers to die? Or does he think too few people died in this battle? How many more heads will he send?"
"My subordinates have absolutely no intention of doing this! It's..."
"What is it?!"
Ling Xuewei gave a clear scolding, sweeping through the room with a stern and commanding force.
"As a general, you don't think about the lives of the soldiers under your command, but because of your own selfish anger, you will let countless soldiers die in vain! You always claim that you are serving the country and the people, and avenging the dead heroes! But the army is your private life.
A place where you can act at will because of your selfish desires?! Do you know how many lives of soldiers will be ruined by your hot-blooded and temporary brain-heat?! How many disasters will it bring to Fanxu? Have you considered the consequences of this?!"
Zong You's face was sad and he clenched his fists tightly, "Subordinate..."
"There are people from the God Realm behind this incident. You know this, but you still want tens of thousands of soldiers to die with you! Are you really so confident in your own strength? Or do you think Mo Linyuan will be stupid?
Waiting for you to lead your troops and kill them?! This is the tip I just received, take a look!"
Zong You took it and his expression changed drastically after a moment!
"Empress..."
"Mo Linyuan has ambushed five thousand troops across the river and is waiting for you to lead your troops over and annihilate you all in one fell swoop!"
"I know my mistake!"
This time, Zong You really realized his mistake!
Terrified!
He almost... almost made a big mistake!
Ling Xuewei said calmly, "General Zong, I asked you to come here because I value your character and you are calmer and more prudent than others. Now it seems that I was wrong."
"My Majesty, the general is really wrong! Please give me another chance!"
For a long time, Zong You didn't see any movement from Ling Xuewei.
Just when he thought there was no hope, Ling Xuewei suddenly changed her tone, "General Zong, I know your feelings. The general loves his soldiers like his own son. So many soldiers have been sacrificed in this battle. If the general is really indifferent, he is not you, General Zong Youzong."
Already."
"Get up now."
Unexpectedly, Ling Xuewei exposed the trouble so easily, which made Zong You feel a little uneasy.
"General Zong, why are you still kneeling there? Do you want me to go down and help you personally?"
"The general will not dare!"
Zong You got up hurriedly.
"General Zong is injured, so don't stand. Sit down."
Zong You was shocked. It turned out that the empress had already noticed that he was injured?!
"Since there is an injury, why not let the military doctor treat it? The illness is delayed again and again. If someone is good or bad, who will take the responsibility?" Ling Xuewei said.
"There are too many wounded in the army... General..." This veteran general, who had always been serious and tough, was embarrassed at this moment, and his expression was even more uneasy than ever before.
"Xiong Cang, come in."
Xiong Cang walked in, Ling Xuewei signaled, and Xiong Cang understood immediately, "General Zong, please come over here."
Zong You followed him into the inner room. After a while, the two of them came out. Xiong Cang said, "It's just an external injury, nothing serious. But...because of the long delay, some pus developed."
After being with his young master for so long, Xiong Cang has also learned a lot. Even if a serious injury is not enough, minor injuries can still be healed.
Zong You is an uptight and serious person. If Ling Xuewei directly inspects his wounds, the old general will probably faint from fear. (To be continued)
