Chapter 271 Out of Place

After dinner, she squatted beside the carriage in confusion. Lei Nian'er came to care about her: "Jiujiu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

She shook her head in a daze, "I just feel like I'm being excluded."

Lei Nian'er probably thought someone had bullied her, so she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who is bullying you? I'll take care of him."

Zhou Huanjiu complained with a sigh, "It was Chuchu and Beiqin."

Lei Nian'er: "...Goodbye."

She had known for a long time that it was just a fake sisterhood, so she grabbed Lei Nian'er's hand and shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, don't go."

"I'm kidding."

Pulling Lei Nian'er to squat together, she held her cheeks with both hands and said sadly: "I often feel out of tune with them because I am not perverted enough."

Lei Nian'er: It's so funny, who isn't?

Because of the last battle with Tunning, many cities were captured and ceded, and now the border is no longer in the Dezhou area.

Going further ahead is the border city of Shuzhou.

Bei Jingchu summoned Mu Chuyuan.

The two had little interaction along the way, and she played the role of a nominal commander to the extreme.

He says nothing, asks nothing, and just does whatever you tell him to do. He is extremely obedient.

Mu Chuyuan was originally afraid that he would meet an amateur who was bossy and in a high position, and one wrong step would lead to the annihilation of the whole army.

That's why I said harsh words at the beginning.

According to him, he would rather Lei Nian'er be the commander, at least she knows something.

As a result, the little prince behaved well and never acted capriciously. He felt deeply ashamed when he thought of the bad words he had spoken to him at the beginning.

This time, his tone was much better: "What's the matter, Your Highness?"

"I have an idea. Let's not go to Shuzhou first, but rest in Nizhou for two days..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mu Chuyuan.

The young man, who had been quite amiable at first, now looked noticeably gloomy.

"I originally thought that although Your Highness was young, he was a man who listened to advice. I thought I had made a mistake."

"But now I know that I was right."

"The march of a large army is no joke. If you want to stay in Nizhou and have fun, just bring your own people with you. Why do you want everyone to stay with you?"

"Your Highness, time is of the essence. Do you know how much food and fodder costs per day?"

"How can you be so selfish just for the sake of momentary pleasure?"

As he questioned, the corners of Bei Jingchu's mouth gradually straightened.

Damn it.

She really wanted to shake his shoulders and ask this angry young man what he had been through.

She just said one sentence and got stressed out immediately!

After he finished questioning, Bei Jingchu asked, "Are you done?"

"Now it's my turn to speak."

"Why do you insist on thinking that all my proposals are just for your own amusement?"

"The army has been on the road for many days. If they go directly to Shuzhou and join the battlefield, how can the morale of a group of tired soldiers be boosted?"

"If you want to rest for two days in Shuzhou."

"But if we get ready in Nizhou, and then send troops to attack the city as soon as we reach Shuzhou, wouldn't that be a surprise attack?"

The angry young man's expression changed slightly.

"What I'm talking about is not some incomprehensible or unimaginable divine plan."

"If a ten-year-old can think of it, you may think of it."

"It's just that you are prejudiced and think that I am an arrogant and self-righteous person who will do bad things, so you don't even listen."

"I just think everything I do is child's play."

"Even if the situation is reversed now, with you as the commander-in-chief and me as the deputy commander, wouldn't you be stubborn and unwilling to listen to advice?"

"Deputy General Mu, His Majesty appointed you as the deputy general because he trusts you."

"I trust you because His Majesty trusts you."

"And you have betrayed the trust of both me and His Majesty."

"......"

At this moment, Mu Chuyuan deeply realized that the little prince in front of him was different from the arrogant but empty-headed royal nobles in his memory.

It turns out that those rumors about her were not rumors.
