Chapter 29 War
Jing Xuan is a person who keeps her word and does what she says. She is no joke when she says she will take care of Chu Mo.
So, during lunch, Wen Zhixun glanced at the little white cat who didn't blink, then looked at Chu Mo who looked helpless, wondering: "General, have you offended her?"
"No."
Wen Zhixun: "Why does Xiaobai look so sad...as if you stole her fish?"
Chu Mo laughed: "How can she be complaining?"
I thought to myself: She was obviously in the mood and had to stare at him while he was eating.
"Then this is..."
Chu Mo didn't answer. He looked into the amber cat's eyes and advised, "I will eat well. Can you eat too?"
Jing Xuan lowered her eyes guiltily, thinking: [I’m not hungry yet, otherwise I wouldn’t be staring at you. 】
Chu Mo then remembered that the little princess got up late and had breakfast late, so she was not hungry yet.
Never mind, just stare at it.
Chu Mo glanced at the empty seat and asked, "Where's Shen Fu?"
"Not awake yet." Wen Zhixun ate slowly and replied slowly, "I drank too much last night."
They always get up early to practice martial arts, and the same goes for Shenfu. On weekdays, they would get up before the 7th hour. They really had too much fun yesterday.
Chu Mo didn't care anymore: "Let him sleep, it's a rare opportunity to relax."
Wen Zhixun responded and asked, "General, what are your plans for the afternoon?"
"You come with me to the military camp and make arrangements for future matters." Chu Mo put down his bowl and chopsticks and said in a deep voice: "Only by making full preparations can we not be afraid of the storms in the future."
Wen Zhixun also put down his bowl: "Okay."
He is the military advisor of the Chu family army, how could he be stupid?
As early as when he learned that the grassland people disguised themselves as bandits to provoke, he guessed that the peaceful days would not last long, and he also guessed that this bonfire banquet had another purpose -
Let the soldiers with families spend a wonderful night with their families, let all soldiers feel the free and comfortable evening breeze again, and play and boast with their comrades and brothers.
After all... after the war begins, how many people will lose their loved ones like Li Qing, how many children will lose their fathers, and how many soldiers will lose their comrades who have shared weal and woe with them?
They dare not think about this problem, but it is a tragedy that is real and beyond their control.
Thinking of this, the atmosphere at the dinner table became heavy.
Jing Xuan looked at it and suddenly remembered what her brother had said at the beginning -
"War is good. It can make a country strong, expand its territory, and make its people proud and confident. But... My dear, war is bad. It causes a country's economy to decline rapidly, breaks up countless families, and makes the world mourn. Perhaps for those in power, this is just a decision, but for countless people, it means they have to endure the pain of skinning and bone removal."
"My brother, as the crown prince, naturally believes that winning the war and making the country strong is the best thing, but... 'When the country prospers, the people suffer; when the country perishes, the people suffer'."
The dead were wrapped in horsehide, the corpses were piled up in the sea of blood, the corpses were scattered all over the land, and the land was devastated...
These words that make people's hearts tremble when they hear them are never just words.
Jing Xuan lowered her eyes, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
The next moment, a pair of warm hands gently fell on her head. She raised her head and met Chu Mo's worried eyes, and was slightly stunned.
[Chu Xiaomo, you don’t like war and you don’t like killing, right? 】
Chu Mo had already gotten used to his new name, and his expression didn't change at all, but when he thought about this question, he smiled softly.
"Yanzhi, do you like fighting?"
Although he was surprised at why the question was asked suddenly, Wen Zhixun shook his head without hesitation: "Who would like to fight? Unless they are born bloodthirsty and cruel."
Chu Mo: "Yes, no one likes war."
This question attracted Jing Yu's attention so much that she didn't realize that Chu Mo was answering her inner thoughts in a roundabout way.
The handsome general continued, "They don't like war, but they fight fearlessly on the battlefield; everyone knows they will die, but every year countless young people still volunteer to join the army; parents know their children's lives are in danger, but they suppress their grief and watch them go away with tears in their eyes, embarking on a road that may be a one-way journey."
"War is not good at all, but..."
"Behind us is our homeland, a home that we must protect with our flesh and blood."
"I don't like war, I don't like killing people, but...weak countries will be beaten, so we can only abandon all our reluctance and move forward resolutely. This is our mission as generals."
"So, you can say that I like war and killing people. If the country can become stronger because of us, and the people can proudly say that they are Dasui people, then our trip to this world will not be in vain."
Having said that, Chu Mo smiled happily and clinked his glass with Wen Zhixun.
Wen Zhixun: "Before joining the army, I never thought about such stupid questions as whether I would die. I only thought that Dasui needed to be stronger, and I wanted the country to become stronger."
The words spoken by the two shocked Jing Xuan's mind. She stared at them blankly for a long time without coming to her senses.
She is Princess Dasui, but until now, she has never thought about what she can do to make Dasui stronger.
The mission of a general is to fight on the battlefield, make the country stronger, and prevent it from being bullied by other countries.
So...what is the princess' mission?
Is it true that she only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and her concern for national affairs is only out of interest and curiosity?
For the first time, Jing Xuan felt that she shouldn't be like this.
But what can I do?
Very lost and perplexed.
But she can only think about such problems by herself, no one can help her.
Chu Mo glanced at the kitten who was looking down at himself, wondering what he was thinking, and sighed softly.
He wanted the little princess to be carefree and not have to worry about anything, but he also knew that the little princess's identity made this impossible.
The little princess has reached marriage age, and even if he doesn't guide her, His Majesty and the Crown Prince will definitely bring it up, but he selfishly wants to be one step ahead of them.
He wanted to teach the little princess in a more gentle way.
The little princess is smart and can understand everything. If she really can't, he will tell her - little princess, with me here, you can be worry-free forever.
Chu Mo has the confidence to say this and the confidence to do it.
He gently held the kitten in his arms, and said in a gentle and smiling voice: "Would you like to go to the military camp with me?"
Jing Xuan was slightly stunned. She had thought that Chu Mo was very busy and didn’t want to disturb him.
Chu Mo: "I'm very busy, but I don't want you to stay in the mansion, so go to the military camp and play. I'll let Chu Feng take you. That kid has nothing else to do all day."
An image of a young boy acting in a sloppy manner popped up in Jing Xuan's mind, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
I thought reluctantly: [Okay, okay, let’s go with him. 】
Chu Mo found this forced effort funny, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The little princess is young, so she needs to take things slowly and not try to accomplish everything all at once, otherwise it will only cause her endless distress.
Gently touching the kitten's head, Chu Mo raised the corner of his mouth.
Wen Zhixun supported his chin on the side, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.
How to say it?
The general's expression was so strange that he was afraid of dropping Xiaobai even though he held him in his hands.
Tsk, it’s like coaxing your wife.
Wen Zhixun's mouth twitched, and he immediately put these messy thoughts to rest.
People and cats, how exciting.
He was just thinking about something else when he suddenly heard Chu Mo call out, "Yanzhi."
Wen Zhixun came back to his senses and responded, "What's wrong?"
Chu Mo was still teasing Jing Xuan, and said without raising his head: "Tuoba Xun will arrive in a few days. Tell your men to be careful and not to offend the guest."
Wen Zhixun was stunned: "Tuoba Xun? Why is he here?"
Thinking about the information Chu Lei sent, Chu Mo pursed his lips with some regret: "Come and see Xiaobai."
Wen Zhixun: “?”
Jing Yu: “?”
The kitten straightened up, its eyes bright.
[Tuoba Xun, what a beauty! 】
She had met Tuoba Xun once a few years ago, but unfortunately she was far away and could only see his profile.
But even so, that gorgeous and charming teardrop mole seemed to be engraved on her heart, and she could never forget it.
[Hehe, happy, I'm going to meet a beautiful lady~~]
Chu Mo looked at the kitten shaking its head expressionlessly, stretched out his hand to gently press down the kitten's straight back, and then grabbed the swaying tail. He held Jing Yu in front of him, looked into the cat's shining eyes, and said without any fluctuation in his tone: "What are you happy about?"
“Meow meow meow!”
【I want to see a great beauty! ! 】
Chu Mo stared at her in silence. After a while, he held the kitten in his arms again and smiled at the confused Wen Zhixun: "Yanzhi, do you know what Tuoba Xun hates most when others say about him?"
Although he didn't know why things turned out this way, the wise military advisor responded tactfully: "What?"
"If he says he is beautiful, especially a great beauty, he will..."
Jing Xuan: “!!!”
Will you dig out people's eyes? ? ! !
Seeing that the little princess was a little scared, Chu Mo took back his bloody words and decided to slander the beautiful Tuoba: "Then her veins will bulge, her eyeballs will bulge, her hair will be messy, and blood will flow from her seven orifices. She will immediately become an ugly monster!"
Fuminoshun: “…Really?”
Chu Mo nodded seriously: "Even uglier than I described."
“Meow meow meow!!!”
[Scary, scary, scary!] ! That’s right, no wonder my brother always said that Tuoba Xun was just a human in appearance and told me not to trust that appearance. So that’s how it is…】
The little princess looked suddenly enlightened, and General Chu nodded with satisfaction.
It’s finally not him that the prince is pitting!
When Wen Zhixun saw the two people, a man and a cat, with completely different expressions, he felt full of sympathy, sympathy for the uncrowned king of the grassland who was famous for his beauty.
At the same time, a handsome man riding a horse casually lifted his braid in front of him and was about to express his inner thoughts and feelings and compose a poem towards the sky. When his nose felt itchy, he sneezed violently.
The one with greater force was stunned for a few breaths, and then became furious.
"Chu Wenxi! You are saying bad things about me again!!!"
“Kill you!!!”
