She handled everything meticulously, no matter how small. Only when the sun was setting and the afterglow painted the sky a fiery red did she hurriedly rush home.
Time flies like an arrow. The Shadow Guard's secret report, after many twists and turns, finally reached the capital successfully. Everything went as expected.
Preparations were completed step by step, and now was the perfect time to launch an attack on the Xuanyuan Kingdom. Grain supplies flowed in like a never-ending river, then were transported swiftly to the border, providing a solid material foundation for the upcoming war.
At the start of the morning court session, the Golden Palace was solemn and dignified. The Emperor, with his imposing countenance and piercing gaze, ordered General Anyuan and General Piaoji to step forward and receive the imperial edict. After speaking, the Emperor personally bestowed upon the two men tiger tallies, a symbol of their absolute military power.
Immediately afterwards, the Emperor spoke with authority, ordering the two to immediately lead an army of 200,000 men to set out, aiming their swords at the Xuanyuan Kingdom, determined to conquer it and uphold the prestige of the Tianxuan Kingdom.
Qin Qianluo was lost in her own thoughts, her eyes slightly vacant, as if she were in another world. It wasn't until the Emperor's order to go on the expedition reached her ears that she snapped out of her reverie and came back to her senses.
After all the ministers had finished expressing their opinions and suggestions, Qin Qianluo took a graceful step forward. Her figure was elegant yet resolute as she walked straight to the center of the hall.
Then, she knelt down and performed a standard and solemn salute, her dress spreading gracefully on the ground like a blooming black lotus.
Immediately afterwards, she parted her red lips slightly, her voice clear and melodious, like pearls falling on a jade plate, echoing in the silent hall: "Your Majesty, I have heard that my Tianxuan Kingdom is about to launch a military campaign against the Xuanyuan Kingdom."
The Xuanyuan Kingdom has acted perversely and committed countless evil deeds, causing innocent people to suffer greatly and endure untold misery. This time, His Majesty has resolutely decided to send troops.
This truly stems from a compassionate heart, an inability to bear the suffering of people in other countries. Such a magnanimous spirit, like a vast ocean, commands our utmost respect.
Qin Qianluo paused slightly, then her expression became even more determined, and she continued, "I have also heard that His Majesty intends to send General Anyuan and General Piaoji to lead an army on an expedition."
This decision is truly brilliant and decisive, demonstrating Your Majesty's wisdom and courage. However, I dare to humbly request Your Majesty's permission to accompany me to the front lines.
From a young age, I have diligently studied martial arts and military strategy, and have thoroughly researched ancient and modern battle examples and methods of troop deployment. Although my talents are not as outstanding as those of the two generals.
But I also possess a burning desire to serve my country, and I yearn to fight bravely on the battlefield for Your Majesty and for the Tianxuan Kingdom, contributing my humble strength."
Qin Qianlu raised her head, her eyes bright and determined: "I have devoted a great deal of effort to exploring the land of Xuanyuan Kingdom."
The terrain, the elevation changes, the fortifications, the strategic passes, and even the unique customs and traditions of the region are all known to us.
If I could accompany the army on this expedition, I could use my knowledge of the local terrain to guide the army to the most convenient shortcut, skillfully leading the army to avoid dangerous places and launch a surprise attack on the enemy.
When the two armies clash and engage in battle, I wish to closely follow the two generals, constantly observing the changing battlefield situation. In light of this, I will certainly do my utmost to offer advice and strategies.
He might personally lead an elite force to charge into battle at a critical moment, striking directly at the enemy's heartland; or he might maneuver around to the enemy's flank, launching a swift encirclement, and working together with his generals and soldiers to defeat Xuanyuan's army.
My loyalty to Your Majesty is like the sun and moon high in the sky, bright and pure, without any impurities, and can be clearly seen by the world. My only wish is to be able to wear heavy armor and hold a sharp blade.
Without hesitation, I rushed to the battlefield filled with smoke and fire. I know full well that the road ahead will be fraught with thorns, countless hardships and dangers, and even life and death will be unpredictable.
However, I am fearless and hope that Your Majesty will grant my request so that I may fight alongside the generals and share their joys and sorrows.
Your subject hereby swears that once embarking on this journey, you will give your all, even at the cost of your life, to win a glorious victory for Your Majesty and to forge unparalleled glory for our Tianxuan Kingdom.
If I break this oath, I am willing to accept the full force of military law, even if it means dying ten thousand times, I will have no complaints whatsoever.
Upon hearing Qin Qianluo's impassioned speech requesting to fight, the officials fell silent for a moment, and the entire hall seemed to be enveloped in a quiet and solemn atmosphere.
A moment later, an incredulous uproar erupted. The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes reflecting shock and confusion.
What is Princess Qingyun saying? She actually wants to go to the battlefield? How can this be allowed? Many officials exclaimed inwardly.
Qin Xiang's face was full of disapproval. His gaze was fixed on his daughter, Qin Qianluo, his eyes filled with tenderness and worry.
Luo'er had already risked her life, venturing alone into the Xuanyuan Kingdom, and endured countless hardships to bring back that invaluable map.
Now, the battlefield is extremely dangerous, with swords flashing and shadows flying. A slight mistake could cost you your life. How could he bear to let his precious daughter go on such a dangerous mission again?
Su Jinyun was also utterly shocked. Her eyes widened, her heart filled with astonishment and unease. Did Qianlu really want to go to the battlefield? Absolutely not!
