In the study of Prince Su's Mansion, Ling Feng reported the progress of the matter to Chen Jingxi.
"Things went smoothly. In order to quell the rumors, the Queen dragged many noble families into the matter. Now someone has submitted a memorial to impeach Prince Rong. The matter at Taihua Temple has been dealt with." Ling Feng was extremely excited when he said this.
There was no way. Whenever he thought about them releasing a piece of news, the Queen would release something even more explosive, and he couldn't help but get excited.
Aristocratic families: Okay, okay, we are part of your play.
Chen Jingxi laughed and said, "That's the end of this matter."
"Why don't you, Princess, take Prince Rong and his party..."
Chen Jingxi interrupted him, "When the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits. We are fighting the Queen to the death, and in the end, it will only benefit others."
For example, Concubine Qin, and the fifth and sixth princes who were secretly obstructing her.
Moreover, it was impossible to overthrow the Queen just by relying on Chu Yuzhen's incident. However, the Queen also suffered a lot this time, which could be regarded as revenge for Chunmei and the others.
I wonder what's happening with Chu Jinghuai? He should have received the letter, right? Counting the time, it's been seven days.
"A-choo, A-choo..." Chu Jinghuai, who had just returned from patrolling the camp, suddenly started sneezing non-stop, leaving Ling Ying beside him stunned...
Their prince actually caught a cold?
This is simply amazing...
Chu Jinghuai returned to the tent and saw the letter on the table. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. He had been on the battlefield since he was thirteen years old, and no one had ever cared about or worried about him.
Or maybe he also thought that he didn't need other people's worry and concern, because what use would such useless worry and concern be? Could it help him avoid danger or win the battle?
With or without those concerns and worries, he can still do his best.
But now...
But now that he had seen Chen Jingxi's letter, he finally understood why the soldiers had smiled so foolishly when reading letters from home.
Although the letter was more about her being unable to endure the hardship and asking him to work hard, it also showed that she cared about his life and death.
It feels so good to be cared about. Chu Jinghuai is full of fighting spirit at the moment. He will go to fight the Turks tomorrow and try to go back as soon as possible.
Chu Jinghuai carefully put the letter away, then spread out paper, ground ink, and carefully wrote down how much he missed her during this period, and then crossed it out. It was too pretentious.
These were things only a little girl would write, and it was really awkward for a grown man like him to write such words. In the end, in order to make Chen Jingxi feel that he was not the kind of man obsessed with love, he wrote an impassioned and generous letter, and finally implicitly expressed his desire to end the war as soon as possible and to return to the capital.
After the letter was written, Chu Jinghuai took out his private seal and stamped it. Just as he was about to seal the letter, a loud rumbling noise suddenly came from outside, followed by the restless neighing of war horses and the deafening sound of drums.
Something happened! This thought flashed through Chu Jinghuai's mind.
Without having time to seal the letter, he stuffed it into his arms, picked up the spear beside him, and walked out quickly. At this time, the messenger also came hurriedly to report, "Your Highness, it's the mastiffs! The Turks have sent out the mastiffs!"
"Mastiff? Where did the Turks get mastiffs?" The Turks had ferocious wild animals such as wolves and leopards, but no mastiffs.
Mastiffs were only found in Wanfan, and Chu Jinghuai had fought with Wanfan's mastiffs before. Honestly, mastiffs were incredibly tough. An adult mastiff could easily kill a wolf, and they could survive in extremely harsh environments.
Although Chu Jinghuai won that battle, it was a pyrrhic victory.
"It's Wanfan. The Wanfan people brought mastiffs to support the Turks." The messenger had been with Chu Jinghuai for many years and had also participated in the battle with Wanfan, so he recognized mastiffs. When he thought of that war, his legs couldn't help but tremble.
"Wan Fan is still so ignorant of his own life." Chu Jinghuai tightened his grip on the gun and walked faster.
Looking at the cloud of dust raised by the mastiff's advance in the distance, Chu Jinghuai narrowed his eyes slightly. No matter whether it was the Turks or Wanfan, or even if they joined forces with Beizhao to attack him, he would not be afraid.
"Send out the troops!" Chu Jing jumped onto his warhorse, holding a spear in his hand.
Compared with his black-armored guards, the imperial army was far inferior. It took a quarter of an hour for the imperial army to be fully assembled.
"Woo..." The horn sounded. The Turkic leader saw Chu Jinghuai charging ahead from afar and smiled contemptuously, "Attack!"
"Kill!" Chu Jinghuai raised his hand and thrust his spear forward. Both sides rushed into the battlefield without fear...
…
Mastiffs were extremely ferocious. Even though Chu Jinghuai was leading the troops, he did not gain much advantage in the face of a group of well-trained mastiffs. The battle was extremely brutal.
By the time the battle was over, it was already sunset.
It is hard to say who won or lost in this battle. The Turks and Wanfan attacked with mastiffs. Although Chu Jinghuai led his troops to block their attack, he paid a heavy price.
"Your Highness, are you injured? I'll go get a military doctor right away." Ling Ying noticed the wound on Chu Jinghuai's body and hurried to call for help, but was stopped by Chu Jinghuai. "No need, I'm fine. Go get Ma Yu."
"But……"
"No buts, go!"
"Yes." Ling Ying didn't dare to disobey and hurried out to find someone.
Soon Ma Yu was brought to Chu Jinghuai's tent, "Prince."
"General Ma, how many casualties are there in the army?"
Ma Yu sighed and said, "Your Majesty, nearly half of our troops have been killed, and there are still 2,000 wounded soldiers who need urgent treatment. Currently, there are less than 5,000 soldiers in the army who can go to the battlefield."
Chu Jinghuai frowned when he heard this. He had fought several battles with the Turks, big and small, in recent days, but the casualties added up were not as many as this time. Half of the troops were directly lost. The Wanfan came with great momentum, and it was obvious that they were well prepared.
Ma Yu continued, "According to our scouts, the Wan and Fan forces are sending 30,000 troops and over a thousand mastiffs."
