Chapter 330: The Cat Substitutes for the Prince
"Princess, General Qu is here!"
"What is he doing here?"
Asana hadn't vented her anger yet, and he came to serve as her punching bag.
When Qu Mu came in, he saw the woman who looked as puffy as a pufferfish.
"What's the matter? Who made my princess angry again?"
His tone was doting and his eyes were shining.
He is the princess's chosen consort. Although the princess is willful and capricious, she is of noble birth and outstanding appearance, making her the best mate choice in the entire Simon. Qu Mu feels that only she is worthy of himself, an outstanding rising star in the Qu family, which has been a family of generations of military generals.
So when the Regent rewarded him with Asana as his wife, he was extremely grateful.
"It's all your fault. Why are you using my people as bargaining chips to threaten the enemy? Can't you just capture them yourself?"
Qu Mu: If it was so easy to catch him, he would have sent people to catch him long ago.
Only these few women were defenseless and she succeeded in one fell swoop.
"Princess, this is for the greater good. You don't want to become a slave of a conquered nation, do you?"
"Fighting is your job as men, but you blame us women for your failure. Qu Mu, you're really brave, aren't you?"
Qu Mu blushed and became a little annoyed.
He could tolerate Asana's willful behavior, but no man could tolerate her insisting on occupying a handsome man from the enemy country.
But he and she haven't married yet, so it's not appropriate for him to interfere too much in her affairs.
So he suggested to his uncle Qu Shao that Asana had Bai Li's second brother in her hands, and could use him to force Bai Li to withdraw his troops. That's why he sent an envoy to deliver the letter.
“Princess, you’ve been to the battlefield before. You’re not one of those women who’s unaware of worldly affairs.
This shows the importance of war to a country. To win, everyone must do their best, and using the king to control the princes is also a form of military strategy.
"He's not a king, there's no point in holding him hostage."
Asana still wanted to argue that she was unwilling to give up the person she had worked so hard to get before achieving her goal.
"Princess, he is useful. Bai Li agreed to withdraw his troops in exchange for his life."
"How is that possible? Is Bai Li mentally ill?"
Asana muttered to herself, she didn't care whether her country was destroyed or not. No one in this country really cared about her or loved her, so what if it was destroyed?
Without Simon, she can disguise herself as an ordinary citizen and live her whole life in any village.
It is not impossible to live a life of poverty, but she no longer wants to continue the meaningless and suffocating life of wealth and glory.
She went to the battlefield out of interest and didn't feel much sense of belonging to Simon.
"Princess, you have performed a great service this time. The Regent and the Emperor will certainly not treat you unfairly."
"A meritorious service? Humph, isn't it just some gold, silver, and jewelry? It's not like I haven't seen it before!"
Bent wood...
Forget it, he has tried his best. Let her do whatever she wants. It is a done deal anyway, and she can't make any more trouble.
As for training his wife, after they get married, he will make sure she is trained to be completely obedient, so that she will never dare to dream about other men.
Qu Mu smiled and said, "Now that things have come to this, Princess, please be patient and take a good rest for two days before returning to the palace. I'll take my leave now!"
Asana's pretty face frosted, "Get lost!"
Qu Mu gritted his teeth, pressed his forehead together, bowed, and turned to leave.
“Ahhhh!! I’m so pissed off!!!”
Asana threw a teacup at Qu Mu's back. Qu Mu jumped forward quickly and the teacup didn't hit him. He walked away without even turning his head.
"Princess, General Qu is your fiancé after all, why didn't he say a word to help you?"
The young maid couldn't stand it and spoke up for the princess out of dissatisfaction.
The older servant glared at the maid and said, "Princess, this is the general's decision, and General Qu can't do anything about it.
It's thoughtful of him to come and comfort the princess!"
Asana calmed down after being persuaded by the servants.
"Madam Yu, I don't want to hand him over. What should I do?"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Yu gasped and ordered the maid to guard the door. She then whispered to the princess, "Princess, this is a capital crime, and I cannot speak of it.
But I am the princess's wet nurse, and I would rather die than let the princess suffer any injustice."
Nanny Yu is cunning and shrewd. It is true that she wants the princess's best interests, but it is also true that she is taking advantage of the opportunity to seek credit.
Her plan was to drug Bai Erlang, and for this the princess rewarded her with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, enough for her family to enjoy in this life and the next.
Asana listened impatiently, "Mammy, please speak quickly. I know you are the best to me."
Seeing that the emotions had almost reached a climax, Yu Ma Ma lowered her voice and said, "Princess, have you heard of the story of the civet cat replacing the prince?"
"How do you understand this?"
"After Bai Li comes to see the person, we will replace him and then return to the palace immediately without anyone noticing..."
"But the general..."
“After Bai Li inspected the people, he prepared to withdraw his troops.
The general's goal has been achieved, so he doesn't care who he uses in exchange!"
"In that case, we have to act quickly, Bai Liming will be here tomorrow."
Bai Li had finally convinced her father and wanted to get things done before Nangong Min knew about it, so she was in such a hurry.
Qu Shao didn't care about Bai Li's impatience. If she wanted to come, she could come. The more anxious she was, the less prepared she would be. He was afraid that it would be easy for her to come, but it would be difficult for her to go back...
Don't even think about going back. Go with her second brother and let him use them to commemorate the sacrificed soldiers.
The next morning, Bai Zongren was extremely worried and personally put the signal flare into Bai Li's pocket, and once again reminded him: "You are deep in the tiger's blood. If you see something wrong, light the signal flare immediately. Dad will lead the troops to flatten the Ximeng army camp immediately!"
"Dad, I get it. At worst, I still have the thunder. It won't be a problem for me to escape."
Bai Li didn't wait for her father to say anything else, she mounted her white horse and left.
“…”
Bai Zongren silently took back Erkang's hand, then his face became serious, and he immediately ordered his troops and set off following Bai Li.
The two armies were facing each other not far apart, and the white horse ran fast, so Bai Li reached Simon's camp in one hour.
"Who are you? If you don't tell me, I'll shoot you immediately!"
Bai Li was stopped five hundred meters away from the barracks.
Bai Li curled her lips. She only mentioned shooting arrows at this distance. According to her military camp, the warning should have been issued several thousand meters away.
Of course, no one would be killed by mistake, because there is a telescope at each important post, and our own people would report in advance, so mistakes generally would not occur.
"Great Zhou Marshal Bai Li is here, please ask Qu Shao to come out and see him!"
Upon hearing this, the soldier guarding the gate of the barracks did not dare to delay and immediately sent someone back to report.
"Report! Great Zhou Marshal Bai Li is visiting!"
"Report! Marshal Bai Li of the Great Zhou is visiting!"
Qu Shao didn't come out, but Qu Mu did.
"My name is Qu Mu, nice to meet Marshal Bai Li."
"Okay, where's my second brother?"
Bai Li didn't care that Qu Shao didn't come out. She just wanted to see her second brother as soon as possible.
