Chapter 87 A peaceful life
She wanted to laugh, but she held it back.
Covering my mouth, my shoulders trembled slightly...
Let the person who killed Princess Su investigate this matter... What's the difference between this and someone suing me in court?
General Qin's face was solemn. "I didn't expect such a big thing to happen. Why would the Northern Frontier Kingdom send their princess to the Imperial City? The mountains are high and the roads are long, and the dangers are numerous. Your Highness is truly courageous."
"General, what you said is very true. I admire you very much."
Yan Fengxiao was actually a little confused.
Who gave Princess Su the courage to sneak into the imperial city of Southern Yan?
Perhaps it was because of her past experiences that she felt that the imperial city of Southern Yan was not a dangerous place, but a place where she could enjoy the mountains and rivers?
Yan Fengxiao was actually not wrong.
Over the years, Northern Frontier has planted many spies in the imperial city of Southern Yan, and there are even some spies in the court.
As a princess of wealth and power, Princess Su once wandered around the imperial city of Southern Yan Kingdom, and was given easy access by many spies from Northern Frontier Kingdom. In addition, some people did not dare to offend the Emperor of Northern Frontier easily, so most of them turned a blind eye.
If Princess Su had not offended Yan Fengxiao, she might not have encountered any accidents when she came to the imperial city. The guards she brought with her were all top-notch masters. Even if she was besieged by more people, they could still take her away if they could not defeat them.
Unfortunately, she was facing Yan Fengxiao and some of his trusted men. These people were all brought back from the border battlefield by him. Each of them had survived hundreds of battles...
The people brought by Uncle Chen from the General's Mansion were not easy to deal with either. If these two parties joined forces to kill her, she really wouldn't be able to survive even if she wanted to.
If this place is not the capital of Southern Yan, it may not be the day of Princess Su's death!
"The Emperor has entrusted this matter to the Governor. If he fails to find the person, will he blame the Governor for his incompetence?"
"Won't."
Yan Fengxiao answered with great confidence.
He pushed General Qin into the main hall, and after settling him down, he began to explain, "The Emperor asked me to investigate, but it was just a pretense to buy time. The real core issue is the ceasefire conditions agreed upon by the two sides."
General Qin is still very concerned about these things.
After all, he has been on the battlefield for many years and is very concerned about this aspect.
"Is Beijiang sincere about this peace talk? The other party came personally, so it seems that a ceasefire is likely to succeed..."
Yan Fengxiao shook his head slightly, "General, you're probably overthinking it. This morning, the other side asked for 300,000 dan of grain and fodder. If the Emperor really gave it to them, it would be like aiding the enemy."
"What? Three hundred thousand dan of grain?"
General Qin was shocked.
This amount of food is enough to feed an army of 200,000 for three months!
What the Northern Frontier lacked most was food and supplies, so even after fighting with them for so long, although the enemy had more victories than defeats, their military strength was still unable to crush Southern Yan, and the reason was that the enemy was short of supplies.
Otherwise, given the ferocity of the enemy army, they would have attacked directly and launched a general offensive, and it would not have been delayed for so long.
"Commander-in-Chief, has the Emperor agreed?"
Yan Fengxiao shook his head slightly, "I haven't agreed yet."
"That's good..." General Qin let out a long breath and muttered, "Northern Frontier has been restless for years, often taking the initiative to send troops to our Southern Yan. If Southern Yan compromises and shows signs of decline, it will definitely be hit hard... Although I am already disabled, I still want the governor to persuade the emperor that this peace negotiation must not be easily compromised..."
Yan Fengxiao listened to General Qin's words and nodded continuously.
Every word of this old senior reflects his experience as a veteran.
Even though General Qin had lost both legs, he still never underestimated this senior general on the battlefield.
On the side, Madam Qin suddenly said, "General, it's getting late. It's time to take your medicine."
General Qin was stunned and said subconsciously: "Didn't I just drink..."
Before he could finish his words, he noticed that his wife was looking at him with something strange in her eyes.
General Qin blinked his eyes. The tacit understanding between husband and wife over the years made him understand instantly: "Oh, yes, I haven't taken the medicine yet. This can't be delayed. Madam, you stay with me."
Madam Qin bowed to Yan Fengxiao to apologize, then pushed General Qin out the side door.
As soon as the couple left, Qin Mingzhu and Yan Fengxiao were the only ones left in the living room of the general's mansion.
Mrs. Qin obviously did this on purpose, wanting to create some space for her daughter and son-in-law to be alone together.
Chunhua even brought a large group of maids and nannies to guard outside the yard to prevent anyone from seeing what was happening here.
The living room suddenly became quiet.
Yan Fengxiao turned to look at Qin Mingzhu, and at this moment he became a little bolder.
Qin Mingzhu lifted her hair, and her heart began to beat fast for some reason.
Although the relationship between the two had been made clear, Qin Mingzhu still felt uncomfortable every time she saw Yan Fengxiao.
The feeling that her brain was in a mess and almost turned into a mess made her a little nervous and she didn't dare to look directly into the other person's eyes.
When the man's eyes fell on her, she could even feel that inch of her skin getting hot.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Mingzhu lowered her eyes slightly, revealing only her red ear tips and white neck.
"The matter between Marquis Dingyuan and Princess Su must be very troublesome..."
Yan Fengxiao interrupted her, "Don't bother, I'll take care of the follow-up matters."
Qin Mingzhu's eyes flickered. "Those envoys will not rest until the murderer is found. Someone must be suspecting you."
The man suddenly chuckled, "Mingzhu, are you scared?"
Qin Mingzhu quickly shook her head: "What are you afraid of? If I were really afraid, I wouldn't do it. I'm just... just worried about you..."
She can still recall the excitement of personally executing her enemies.
At that time, she felt that even if she gave up everything, as long as she could kill those two people, she would not regret it!
But thinking about it now, Qin Mingzhu suddenly understood some things, such as... once Yan Qinghao and Princess Su died, no one would ever pay attention to her again!
She had completely escaped from the eyes of these enemies and would never face threats from the Northern Frontier Kingdom again.
Yan Fengxiao took on all these threats alone!
There was a flicker of light in Yan Fengxiao's phoenix eyes, as if a star was hidden inside.
He suddenly walked up to Qin Mingzhu, hugged her tightly in his arms, and spoke in a low and hoarse voice.
"Don't worry about me. I just hope that you and your child can be safe and sound in this life."
After Qin Mingzhu heard what Yan Fengxiao said, she didn't think anything of it at first.
But suddenly he was stunned.
Then she raised her head in his arms and looked at him with wide eyes.
"Commander-in-Chief, what did you just say...this life?"
Yan Fengxiao lowered his eyes slightly, relaxed his arms a little, but grabbed her arms tightly with his hands.
The man was tall, his eyes lowered slightly, dark but gentle.
"Well, in this life and the next, I hope you and your son will be safe and happy..."
