"I guess so!"
"The merchants also said that the two evil gods are like locusts. Whichever country they go to will be destroyed. It seems that India, Burma, Lancang, Jiaozhi, Siam, and Cambodia have all been unable to escape their clutches. But it's strange, why don't these two evil gods come to Da Chu? Do they think the fruits of our Da Chu are not tasty enough?" Shangguan Dan wondered.
Shangguan Shu casually threw the book onto the table and said, "Yes, the country has been destroyed. Why haven't I received any military reports from the border areas? Your Majesty hasn't received any either."
Shangguan Shu frowned as he spoke, "Come to think of it... Liang Su hasn't sent me any news in a while."
"Ah, sister-in-law and Yue'er are still in Dali! Prince Ding is so unkind, leaving the women and children there and running back! Will sister-in-law be in trouble?" After saying this, Shangguan Dan was afraid that his brother would be scared, so he quickly rejected it, "It's definitely not the case. Everyone in the southwestern border has heard of your reputation, brother. Who would dare to touch your women and children!"
"Besides, sister-in-law is not an ordinary woman. She is the princess of Da Chu. You have arranged 150,000 troops to protect her. I think that even if those two evil spirits come, they won't dare to touch sister-in-law and Yue'er!"
The wrinkles between Shangguan Shu's brows remained unopened. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. To sum it up, it was probably... he missed his wife and children too much. It had been more than two months since Zhao Ying left.
He couldn't leave the capital openly for Dali, but that didn't mean he couldn't go secretly...
Shangguan Shu immediately made up his mind to go to Dali tomorrow, claiming to be sick for half a month!
…
Royal Palace of Siam.
The room is filled with the fragrance of durian...
Shangguan Qingyue was surrounded by a piece of orange durian flesh, holding a big piece of flesh in his little hand, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
[Wow~ This is so fragrant and sweet~ Ouch! (Chew, chew, chew) It's worth all my travels to explore this place!]
【Woo woo…I’m so happy! 】
【Today I am the happiest and most joyful baby in the world! 】
Zhao Ying looked at the scene in front of her with relief.
Her daughter's happiness is her happiness!
This is what they call where there is a will there is a way!
Although they fought their way through the Golden Triangle before finding the origin of durian, Siam...
But! Finally they found it!
Zhao Ying wondered how to transport the durian back to the capital, or whether she could grow some in the capital...
Liang Su and Wen Ruhai walked in. Liang Su stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the Johor envoys have reported that they also have durians and have already sent a batch. We beg Your Highness not to go to Johor again."
After Liang Su finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Ying, with countless emotions flashing in his eyes: surprise, admiration, self-mockery, certainty... extremely complicated.
After two months of fighting, they finally understood.
The sky and the earth are not as great as talent.
They originally thought that General Shangguan was a master of military strategy, but Zhao Ying...
She is their God!
In the past, although the soldiers were respectful to Zhao Ying, they still regarded her as General Shangguan's beautiful but fragile wife. Now...
What does the princess and the general think of Shangguan Shu, the pale-faced scholar?
No one is worthy of their wise, brave and invincible princess general!
Shangguan Shu didn't know that the general he had raised for so many years hadn't kissed him in just two months...
Zhao Ying sneered, "This small border nation is so spineless that it can't even handle the slightest setback!"
Wen Ruhai almost dropped his jaw in shock. A little bit of frustration?
You call the loss of a country a little bit of a setback?
Princess, you know that you overthrew Siam in just three days and even pissed off the King of Siam. Do you call this a little bit of frustration?
Wen Ruhai is still in a daze, feeling that everything in front of him seems a little unreal.
In two months, six kingdoms were destroyed...
It would have been great if Dali had not been occupied by the clan. He would still be a good official of Dali who was honest and loyal. With such great achievements in expanding the territory, he might even be able to stay in the Taimiao after his death.
What a pity... Alas...
The clan elders were all overjoyed, as if it was Zhao Ying who had conquered the kingdom for them. Of course, it was conquered for them.
Wen Ruhai looked at Zhao Ying with an obscure and regretful expression. It was a pity that such a talented person was a woman. It was also a pity... She was too naive and fell into the trap of the clan. She didn't even know that she was being used as a knife by the clan.
When she returns, her clansmen will sue her in the court for falsely conveying the imperial edict and secretly mobilizing troops. The crime will then be hers, the military merit will be Liang Su's, and the benefits will belong to the clansmen.
"In that case, let the army rest for three days and then return to Dali!"
"Yes! I obey your order!"
After Liang Su left, Zhao Ying sat down and took a piece of fruit. Just as she was about to eat it, she found that Wen Ruhai had not left yet. He looked at her as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Zhao Ying put down the fruit pulp and asked, "Master Wen, is there anything else?"
Wen Ruhai opened his mouth, his expression hesitant. After a while, he seemed to steel his heart and said, "Let me ask you, Your Highness, did you really come to Dali just to accompany His Highness Prince Ding to seek medicine?"
Zhao Ying frowned, "What else?"
"Do you have anything in Dali that's worth me traveling thousands of miles to come here?"
Wen Ruhai's heart stagnated, and a feeling of depression was about to burst out. He wanted to say, wanted to tell Zhao Ying everything. In fact, he wanted the people of Dali to have a savior the most, but he couldn't... Zhao Ying was not that person, even though she now commanded a large army. He could see that Liang Su had some sincerity towards Zhao Ying, even if he didn't have it before the troops were sent out, but when a general is away from home, he is not subject to the orders of his clan.
Liang Su is likely to obey Zhao Ying's orders!
The Yunnan Army is now strong in both men and horses, and the stored food and grass can at least last for three years. Without the threat of food and grass, can Liang Su still listen to his clan?
No, he still has a family in the hands of the clan.
"If Your Highness has achieved the purpose of this trip, then there is no need to return to Dali with the army. Why not take the young lady and return directly to the capital?"
"That's a good idea... However, I also want to return to Dali and thank the gentry and wealthy merchants who provided me with food and fodder. If it weren't for their complete supply of supplies, my battle wouldn't have been so easy."
Zhao Ying smiled innocently, and Wen Ruhai frowned slightly.
He was trying to save her life, but this was her way to kill herself.
Back in Dali, if the clan threatened Liang Su to kill Zhao Ying and lie to the court that he died in battle...
The clan elders can do it.
By then, even if the imperial army approaches, the clans will no longer have nowhere to go thanks to the vast land that Zhao Ying has conquered.
So they have nothing to fear now.
Wen Ruhai retreated.
Zhao Ying silently looked at Wen Ruhai's back and suddenly chuckled.
On the official road.
"Zhai Jingxuan" leaned on a stick and walked towards the capital with gritted teeth.
He finally escaped from the restaurant. He didn't expect to ask his mother for help, it was too difficult... He might as well go directly to the capital to find his father!
Speak of the devil and he will appear.
When "Zhai Jingxuan" looked up, a man riding a horse galloped towards him. Who else could that face be but his father Shangguan Shu?
Even the horse was one he had ridden before, his father's favorite Dayuan horse, named Zhuifeng.
"Zhai Jingxuan" burst into tears before she even spoke.
“Daddy! Daddy!!”
