"I have been married for thirteen years, and she has been in the Wuwang Mansion for ten years. At first, she was young and introverted, and was sent to the Wuwang Mansion by Jingqi as a war orphan. Over the years, Jingqi often led troops outside with the Iron-faced General, so I wanted to do him a favor, so I took good care of the old soldiers and orphans he brought back. Even if he didn't say anything, I treated her well as a tenant and never neglected her."
"Because this wasn't the first time, I didn't pay much attention to Jingxuan at first. She was just a little girl, without a father or a mother, quite pitiful. But as time went on, she showed extraordinary talent and began to practice. I don't know when she developed ghostly body movements. About five or six years ago, when she was only in her early twenties, she often stayed by Jingqi's side. At first, I was a little angry, thinking that I was taking care of an ungrateful person, and I thought she wanted to snatch Jingqi away."
"But I found that Jingqi did not reject her kindness, and even rode in the same car with her to the court. The ministers in the court were all surprised by her and congratulated Jingqi, saying that he was lucky to have such a loyal and beautiful bodyguard. He always accepted it and did not refute it, as if she was his wife, forgetting that she had no status and had someone else at home."
The lady was jealous and said:
"Everything started out of confusion, and I still don't understand why they are so compatible. There were no conflicts, no arguments, just like two people who were originally walking on the same road, just in different order, but once they met at a fork in the road, they started walking together."
"Jing Qi often takes her with him when he's out, and stays with her day and night at home. Don't be afraid of the three of you laughing at me, but as your wife, I've never been treated like this before. I've always been treated coldly. If Jing Qi hadn't always been in good spirits, I would have suspected that she was a spirit-sucking monster."
"What are they doing together? Practicing?"
The elder sister felt that the matter was clear. This so-called Miss Jingxuan dared to do this in broad daylight, perhaps to better hide herself. In the territory of Nanshang, who dared to touch the people around the prince? But in her academy, there was no one she dared not touch!
"Sometimes they practice, but most of the time they talk. Every time I go in, they stop talking, so I never hear what they are talking about. But I have eavesdropped on them a few times, and the content of their conversations is probably important national affairs, either the attack on Daxia or the analysis of the undercover situation of Tianmeng Kingdom."
Madam didn't elaborate on these. She was very smart, and Senior Sister Xia Xiao and the others understood that they only needed to talk about the prince this time, and they still couldn't reveal the national affairs. However, Senior Sister didn't care about these. Although she was a Tianmeng native, her hometown had become the academy. She was a fairy in the peach forest of the academy, reborn there, and one day in the future, she would be buried there.
"Over the years, Jingqi has become more and more interested in her. We talked a lot at first, but later we could talk about anything. There are many things they often talk about, big or small, that I have never heard of. Now, the person who knows Jingqi best is her, not me."
The lady laughed at herself, she was such a useless person, her husband and herself ended up like this. She really did sin in her previous life and suffered in this life.
"What else?"
"They are inseparable all day long. Last time when Miss Jingxuan was injured, he didn't leave even when she was taking off her clothes for the dressing change. I think their relationship is probably deeper than I thought."
Family disgrace should not be made public, because if it is made public, it will only slap one's own face, but the wife became anxious. Deep in her heart, she always cared about her husband.
"You are so pathetic."
Ah Zhu's sudden words aroused the lady's feeling of grievance.
"He doesn't feel sorry for me, and Miss Jingxuan doesn't think she did anything wrong. If she were an ordinary person, I would be lonely if I had to bear this kind of thing alone. As long as Jingqi can get help and be happy, it means that I understand my wish. I can't help him, I can only satisfy him. But if this Jingxuan is really related to the evil spirit, please kill her, and warn my King Wu not to get lost."
Madam stood up and saluted, but felt that this was not enough, so she knelt on both knees. She had always knelt before heaven, earth, and parents, but she had never knelt before anyone else. However, her face was trembling, and her luxurious clothes that were shining brightly were dull. She was a lady from a noble family, and the wife of a prince. She should have weighed the pros and cons and valued etiquette, but she was extremely concerned about Jing Qi's affairs. Jing Qi could be unfaithful to her, so she couldn't just ignore him.
The humble woman's look made Ah Zhu burst into tears. Love is really too great, but the senior sister and Xia Xiao were extremely stable and were not moved at all. This kind of silly woman will suffer more in the future!
"Don't worry, ma'am. We will do our duty."
"Thank you, sir."
Her hands fell to the ground with her wide sleeves, and the lady bent down, her smooth forehead gradually approaching the ground. The ground was more or less dusty, but the floor could be dirty, but people could not be dirty. If his Jing Qi really fell into the devil's way, it would be the end of not only him, but also the ambition of Nan Shang. She knew that what Jing Qi cared about most was Nan Shang's domination of the world!
This great gift, comparable to that of their parents and the heavens, made the three elder sisters stand up. This woman’s heart was sincere enough, but why couldn’t she see the Jing Qi she mentioned?
"Sir, if Jing Qi persists in his delusion, I hope you will show mercy."
"If he is contaminated by the power of the black energy and the devil, and he is not willing to fall, we can forgive him. But if he is really stubborn, we cannot show mercy. You should know the consequences of being contaminated by the black energy and falling into the devil. No matter which force in this world, they all want to kill the black energy and the devil."
The eldest sister raised her hand and Madam slowly sat up, tears in her eyes, knowing that this matter was not as simple as she thought.
"Please follow me."
The lady led the three of them to the side hall, where there was a sand table map, which was a rough model of the battlefield strategy and was extremely magnificent.
This was not the first time Xia Xiao had seen a sand table, but the number of troops deployed on it was somewhat surprising. The Great Wilderness used different colors to represent the number of troops. This sand table marked the Yuliu River at the border between Tianmeng and Nanshang. That tiny place was located in a mountain stream, and since there were already 50,000 troops stationed there in addition to the border guards, were they really ready to start a war at any time?
Because of the presence of the Zou Shou Church, Da Xia will have to stay quiet for nearly a year and a half before the war can begin. But for Tian Meng, we must have a plan. If we can capture the land of Tian Meng within a year and a half, wouldn't it boost morale? In this way, it will be easier to attack Da Xia.
Xia Xiao thought they were thinking this way. From the analysis of strategic deployment and food routes, plus the sand table map from the day before, they were about to attack Tianmeng. This army of 50,000 would be like a steel fork, piercing into Tianmeng. Although the latter had a vast territory, once pierced by this steel fork, they would only bleed and wait for death. I just don't know how long they can hold out.
The stream was trampled by the cold iron cavalry, the mud and grass on the horses' hooves stained the clear water, the soldiers shot by arrows lay in the river with their horses, and the sky was dyed with blood. On a night with a scorching cloud, the tragic scene of war will reappear, and it will be bloodier than the scene that emerged in Xia Xiao's mind.
War is never comparable to playing house, but rock-paper-scissors is really like a soldier flying through arrows. If you are lucky, you can kill thousands of enemies and become a god in one battle. If you are unlucky, you will die on the way to the charge, with your head blasted. The so-called sacrifice for ambition and empire is just a means of scholars and is not worthy of too much respect. Because that scene is so nauseating that it always makes people vomit.
"They are at the Yuliu River, this location. The day after tomorrow, this army will launch a surprise attack on the Tianmeng Kingdom."
Madam didn't want to say it, this is the secret of the Southern Business Empire. She is not allowed to enter this side hall at ordinary times. But if a war breaks out, the scene will be even more chaotic. She wants the teacher to punish and kill Jingxuan as soon as possible, so that her Jingqi can be freed from the sea of suffering.
Looking at the remote place pointed out by his wife, Xia Xiao was a little surprised. How could a military camp be stationed in this dense jungle area? Even if it could be stationed, the only one who could stand firm in it was this disciplined army. Now that I know, it can save some trouble.
"We can still go there in time!"
When Xia Xiao said this, the senior sister said:
"Please send our things to the academy. We are leaving first."
The dark side hall door opened, and the light outside was bright and dazzling. Seeing this light, Madam hesitated, but still chased after him. She often retreated, but this time Jingxuan was about to die, and she wanted to be with Jingqi. In this way, he should also know that she has always been standing behind him and can appear by his side in times of danger.
"Teacher, can you wait for me?"
The eldest sister had her hair in a cloud-like bun, and when she looked back, she was quiet and puzzled. Madam Ke grabbed her clothes, and although her heart was beating fast, she still mustered up the courage and asked:
"Can you take me with you?"
This palpitation made the lady feel as if she had returned to her youth, having never met the prince before and was about to marry him. She was cautious back then, but now she is very calm and confident. But the eldest sister frowned slightly, and it seemed that she had no intention of taking her along.
