Her voice is deep and hoarse, full of energy.
"How dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare a mere guard like you stop me?"
"Captain Qi, I'm not trying to stop you, but the princess's residence doesn't allow you to bring knife handles into the palace. If you want to go in, I can keep this knife for you!"
"Hmph! I am the Captain of the Central Army appointed by His Majesty himself. My sword is my life. How can I trust my life to others?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Go ask Her Royal Highness the Princess. If she doesn't allow me to come with a sword, I'll leave!"
Qi Dongqiang sneered after he finished speaking. If she left like this, everyone in the capital would know that Princess Chengqian was arrogant and domineering, and neglected military generals!
When everyone heard this, they started whispering to each other. Judging from their expressions, they didn't seem to be saying anything nice.
Shao Yihui lowered his eyes, hiding the worry and anxiety in them, and secretly thought of a way.
The Crown Princess sneered, already expressing her dissatisfaction with Qi Dongqiang who was causing trouble. She frowned and asked, "Who is this person?"
Of course, Zhao Ying didn't recognize her either. She looked at Shangguan Shu. When Shangguan Shu saw her looking at him, his sharp brows softened. He introduced her in a low voice, "This person is the daughter of General Qi Luqi. Her original name was Qi Yuan, but after she became sensible, she felt that her name was too delicate, so she changed it to Dongqiang, which means the eastern part of the Great Chu is rich and powerful."
"Since she was little, she has disliked needlework, knitting, calligraphy, or painting, preferring instead to wield swords and spears. At the age of thirteen, she followed her father into the army. Over the years, she has fought many successful battles and has gained considerable prestige within the military. It's no exaggeration to call her the number one female general in the Great Chu."
After Shangguan Shu said this, Zhao Ying had some impression of it.
Seeing that she seemed to recall something, Shangguan Shu said directly, "Yes, it's the female general you persuaded me to use..."
Shao Yihui was stunned when he heard this and gave Zhao Ying an ambiguous look.
Shangguan Shu continued, "You said a woman has the desire to join the army and is not afraid of competing with a group of men. She must be a woman of strong character and determination. If you want to show a man's magnanimity, you should not suppress or envy a woman. At the very least, you should give her equal opportunities."
"The facts prove that you are right. Women can also be generals!"
Shangguan Shu changed the subject, his voice growing colder, "But she was really outrageous today!"
Shangguan Shu said this, put Shangguan Qingyue and Shangguan Bailin down, and walked towards the door.
At the door.
"Greetings to Grand Tutor Shangguan!" The guards saluted.
Qi Dongqiang saw Shangguan Shu coming over and clasped his fists, "General, long time no see!"
Shangguan Shu's face was stern, and he didn't respond when he heard the voice. His cold pressure permeated several people. Qi Dongqiang suddenly felt a chill running down her spine. She naturally understood the methods and strength of the man in front of her. When Qi Dongqiang spoke again, her voice was trembling a little, no longer as arrogant as before.
"General... General, do you have something to discuss with me?"
Shangguan Shu chuckled lightly. Qi Dongqiang looked up and found that Shangguan Shu's gaze was vaguely on the sword at her waist.
Qi Dongqiang understood something instantly, and her wheat-colored face darkened a little. She frowned and looked as ugly as if she had swallowed maggots.
Shangguan Shu opened his mouth and said, "Thanks to Captain Qi's reminder, I now know that just because you have meritorious service you are qualified to enter the Princess's residence with a sword."
Qi Dongqiang quickly said, "That's not what I meant. General, you misunderstood me!"
"No?" Shangguan Shu looked at the guard who had just argued with Qi Dongqiang. The guard didn't dare to speak, but there was no need to speak. Qi Dongqiang saw this and gritted his teeth, took off his sword and offered it to him, "Here you go!"
"Yes!" The guard put it away.
Having achieved his goal, Shangguan Shu turned around and left.
Qi Dongqiang's fists behind him were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound.
I originally wanted to make a scene and embarrass Princess Chengqian in public.
I didn't expect that she didn't even have to do anything...
Qi Dongqiang was angry and depressed, and his contempt for Zhao Ying increased even more.
Humph, what kind of ability is that! All you can do is hide behind a man!
Qi Dong forced his way into the mansion and was determined to go and see Zhao Ying.
"General Qi Dongqiang pays homage to the princess!"
Zhao Ying had a good impression of Qi Dongqiang. After what she saw just now, she thought... maybe all military generals were like this, somewhat conceited and proud of their achievements. If it were a man, she would definitely give him a lesson, but a female general would be fine.
It is not easy for a woman to be a general in the Great Chu, and women are oppressed by the moral principles of their fathers and husbands from birth, and are brought up to be humble and docile. A woman who is so proud and aggressive should be encouraged!
"Is this Captain Qi? I've heard of him for a long time..."
Zhao Ying walked forward with a smile, intending to help Qi Dongqiang up, but Qi Dongqiang dodged her. How could Zhao Ying not see the disgust in Qi Dongqiang's eyes at that moment? Zhao Ying's heart sank, but she still smiled without a trace of embarrassment.
"Three generations of the Qi family have served in the military. Your father, Qi Lu, was a fierce general in our Great Chu. His son, Qi Delong, defeated a Burmese army of ten thousand with only two thousand men in the Battle of Huai River. I thought your father and brother were brave enough, but I didn't expect Captain Qi to be just as brave as any man!"
Qi Dongqiang raised his lip with arrogance, "I originally thought Your Highness, living in the palace, didn't know the dangers of the battlefield. I didn't expect Your Highness to remember the achievements of my father and brother. I'm so disrespectful!"
In other words, I didn't expect a princess like Zhao Ying, who lived a life of luxury and pleasure, to know about state affairs...
Zhao Ying: ...Is this the super hero that my mother often talks about?
Shao Yihui closed his eyes, luck.
Shangguan Shu: ...Is hitting her considered hitting a woman?
Wei Fu: When her mother gave birth to her, did she throw away her brain as a placenta?
The Crown Princess has already taken Zhao Xiao somewhere else.
Shangguan stood in neat rows of one, two, three, four, and five:
Shangguan Qingwan didn't move her lips as she spoke in a hushed voice, "My father commanded a million soldiers and conquered most of the territory, but he wasn't as arrogant as her..."
