"Go to the border and protect the people!"

"If Pei Changying wants Plague City, give it to him."

"The people of Plague City are still his people after all. As long as Plague City belongs to him, he can kill them even if he's crazy."

"The entire court will come out to stop it. As long as the plague city and the people are still there, I will come back one day!"

"But if the Xiongnu invade the Central Plains, not only Pei Changying, but also me and the whole world, who will be able to live in peace? If a country is destroyed, every family will be destroyed."

"I must protect my country before I can protect the people of the world."

Gu Sang suddenly remembered that the eldest princess had told her before that the border troops were reduced by half.

The two men guessed at the time that the other half of the troops might have returned to the border early.

Pei Changying was arrogant and would rather destroy eight hundred of his own men than kill a thousand enemies. He would not let his soldiers return before conquering the Plague City.

Therefore, it is very likely that the commander was aware that it was very risky for the army to leave the border, so he divided the troops into two groups.

On the one hand, returning in time could prevent the Huns from discovering the clues.

On the one hand, he left half of the soldiers behind, and on the other hand, he cleared himself of the suspicion of disobeying the imperial order.

"Princess, I think we should go talk to the other team's coach about this matter."

"I guess the commander-in-chief doesn't know that the Xiongnu massacred the people of the Central Plains."

"If we can reach a temporary reconciliation, Plague City won't have to worry about General Guan taking advantage of the situation. Although I don't think General Guan is that kind of person."

Hearing this, the princess nodded in sudden realization:

"Sangsang, thank goodness you reminded me. I forgot the opposing coach is General Guan!"

"I believe that given General Guan's character, he will agree to temporarily reconcile with us."

"However, this matter requires me to take action personally."

Hearing that the princess was going in person, Gu Sang nodded in understanding.

If it were her, she would go there in person to feel at ease if she encountered this situation. First, it would show her sincerity, and second, it would make General Guan believe this matter.

In the face of national justice, what does internal strife matter?

"Okay, I'll go with you and see what General Guan means before we formulate a battle plan."

Whether General Guan agrees or not, they are going to the border to defend their country.

As a ruler, how could you possibly watch tens of millions of people die at the hands of the sword, watch their families broken up, and watch them be killed, looted, and burned?

Only a fool like Pei Changying would only set his sights on the throne!

The country is about to be conquered.

Where does the throne come from?

This time, the eldest princess still asked Zhou Qichen to bring the female guards to meet General Guan, and the eldest princess put on the clothes of the female guards and mingled among the women.

Once again we came to the place where the imperial army was stationed.

The soldiers stared at the group of people in amazement, each holding a spear, not knowing what to do.

here we go again?

Why is this happening again?

They are clearly enemies, why are they being treated like we're in a back garden?

For the same reason, Zhou Qichen, with General Guan's angry curses and gritted teeth, walked into the camp with everyone in a swagger.

"General Guan, I have something I want to discuss with you privately."

After the two coaches met, Zhou Qichen spoke directly.

Just as General Guan was about to yell at Zhou Qichen and call him a lunatic, his eyes caught sight of a woman behind Zhou Qichen.

General Guan naturally recognized who this woman was. After a flash of shock in his pupils, he calmly let the two of them into his tent for a private conversation.

Depend on?

Is this really crazy?

Why is this person here?

So open and aboveboard?

what the hell?

Will he catch it or not?

Under General Guan's complex and shocked pupils, the eldest princess took off her hat, revealing her wise and calm face.

General Guan took a breath and asked:

"The eldest princess came to see me privately, what's the matter?"

"You've only brought a few people with you. Aren't you afraid that I'll arrest you at my command?"

"As long as we capture the two of you, Plague City will fall on its own!"

The princess remained calm, staring at General Guan word by word as she spoke, "Last night, the Xiongnu massacred an entire city. Not a single civilian survived."

"rub!"

General Guan turned pale with fright.

General Guan's pupils almost burst.

General Guan yelled out loudly on the spot: "What!!!"

"What did you say?!"

General Guan's angry face was filled with murderous intent.

The terrifying aura made Zhou Qichen suddenly alert, and he quietly blocked the princess's way to prevent General Guan from suddenly attacking and hurting anyone.

The eldest princess understood that the murderous intent on General Guan's face was not directed at her.

So she was not panicked at all, and sarcastically said:

"Has your half of the army returned to the border early?"

"If you don't believe me, you can wait here for a few days. You might receive a secret report from my subordinates."

"However, if you want to receive intelligence from the court asking you to withdraw your troops back to the border, that may not happen!"

"The imperial court went to great lengths to contact Miss Gu, openly and covertly accusing us of causing chaos."

"After the incident, Pei Changying's first action was not to immediately mobilize the troops and gather all the troops in the city to fight against the Xiongnu, but to blame me and Miss Gu."

"General Guan, I hope you can understand what Pei Changying means."

General Guan's face flickered in the candlelight, sometimes angry, sometimes desolate, switching through several emotions.

However, before he could say anything.

I saw an empty screen in front of me.

Looking at the figure that appeared out of nowhere on the screen, General Guan's emotions were suddenly distracted.

Although he had never seen the live broadcast that the people were talking about, when a person appeared out of nowhere, General Guan could guess that this was the so-called live broadcast.

Gu Sang seemed to be able to guess what General Guan was thinking, and she said:

"This is not a live broadcast, this is a private call, and the content of our conversation is only known to the four of us present."

After a pause, allowing General Guan to digest the words "private connection," Gu Sang said:

"The Princess, Zhou Qichen, and the others all respect you so much that they're willing to take such a huge risk to meet you privately, even putting their lives in your hands."

"They just trust you and believe you can distinguish between the important and the unimportant."

"The Princess wants to cooperate with you to face the outside world together. Don't be so hasty to refuse. You are not collaborating with the enemy. We have only reached a temporary cooperative relationship."

"I believe that when facing an enemy invasion, all internal conflicts can be temporarily suspended to resolve external conflicts first."

"The Xiongnu massacred the people of the Central Plains. Anyone would be angry, and I think the general is no exception. He would want to kill them immediately."

"The imperial court and the Xiongnu have been fighting for hundreds of years, and it's always been a stalemate, with neither side gaining an advantage."

"But things are different now. The princess has cannons and grenades. As long as we work together, the Xiongnu will be driven back home."

"How about waiting until then for the imperial court and the princess to break off a fight and decide the winner?"
