Zhao Linger said unconvincedly: "You little slut, this time, you really wronged your sister."
"I was thinking about other things just now and didn't really want to argue with you."
At this moment, Zhang Wuji also came over and said, "What are you three talking about? You look so happy."
Zhao Linger looked at Zhang Wuji in surprise and said, "Sir, which eye of yours saw that I was happy? I was thinking about other things just now, but your Zhiruo came up and scolded me without any reason. I feel so wronged."
Zhou Zhiruo was speechless. She quickly explained to Zhang Wuji, "My dear, don't listen to this old woman's nonsense. I just said something to her casually just now. I didn't scold her."
Zhang Wuji was somewhat helpless. He could only say, "Okay, okay, nothing should happen today. Let's just rest here for a while."
"We haven't had a good rest since we set out on the expedition."
"I have finally arrived in Dadu. I must lie on the dragon bed where the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty once slept and have a good sleep."
Seeing that Zhang Wuji was unwilling to stand up for her, Zhou Zhiruo said to him unhappily, "Dragon bed? I think you just want to lie on the bed that Zhao Min had slept on."
Zhang Wuji said in surprise: "Zhiruo, you misunderstood me."
"Just now, there was not even a shadow of Zhao Min in my mind. What's more, with you guys by my side, why should I think about that enemy?"
Zhou Zhiruo said disdainfully: "You can know a person's face but not his heart. Who knows what you are thinking?"
"I have been with you the longest, and I know exactly what you have done."
"Up to now, you have had at least two chances to get rid of the troublesome Zhao Min, but you gave up in the end."
"If you ask me, you did it because she is pretty, otherwise you would not show mercy."
Zhang Wuji was already in a big headache. He knew that he must not be stubborn at this moment, otherwise it would only cause more trouble.
Zhang Wuji sighed and said to Zhao Linger, "Sister, you just said that you were thinking about something else. What are you thinking about?"
"Can you tell me about it?"
Zhao Linger said: "We are all family, there is nothing we can't say."
"What I think is that we have too few soldiers and horses now, and we are completely unable to deter Zhu Yuanzhang."
"I don't know whether the troops we sent out have passed the message back."
"With our current strength, we can only scare Zhu Yuanzhang for a few days at most. If it takes too long, there will definitely be problems."
"If we could have tens of thousands more soldiers and horses, we would be more secure."
…
The team that delivered the message traveled non-stop all the way, sleeping in the open air, but even so, they only just managed to deliver the message to Yang Xiao and Zhang Dingbian.
After hearing the messenger's words, Yang Xiao hurriedly said to Zhang Dingbian: "The fact that His Majesty can send back such a message is enough to show that he has already secured Dadu."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't be so anxious to mobilize reinforcements."
Zhang Dingbian said: "That's true. The current deployment of troops is not a problem, but the difficulty lies in how to get to Your Majesty quickly."
"I believe that by now, Your Majesty has already captured Dadu, which means that the day when we go to war with Zhu Yuanzhang will not be far away."
"Seven or eight out of ten horses in Hexi have already been transferred away by Your Majesty."
"This time, I will lead the troops to support Your Majesty. We have to cross the grassland. If we rely on our two legs alone, we can only march sixty or seventy miles a day."
"I'm afraid..."
Yang Xiao said: "General Zhang, you are worrying too much."
"Your Majesty is omnipotent, just go and help."
"Leave the rear matters to me."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Dingbian said, "General Yang, now, not counting the Hexi area, you and I still have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in our hands."
"I will first lead 100,000 troops to bypass Longcheng, cross the grassland and head straight to Dadu."
"You lead the rest of the soldiers back to defend Jinyang."
"Is this okay?"
Yang Xiao said: "Very good, I think so too."
"There is no time to lose, let's withdraw our troops now."
Zhang Dingbian said: "No, let's wait a little longer. Even if His Majesty is in a hurry to use troops, we cannot show signs of panic here."
"With an army of over one hundred thousand at our disposal, we must not let Wang Baobao see anything."
"I will go down and prepare first. At night, you and I will split up. I will go to support His Majesty, and you will go back to defend Jinyang."
…
That night, Zhang Dingbian dispatched 100,000 troops from his existing army to support Zhang Wuji.
Yang Xiao led the rest of the troops back to Jinyang.
At this moment, Zhu'er and others who had been hiding in Jinyang were also summoned by Gong Yu.
At the dinner table, Gong Yu said to Zhu'er and Han Zhao: "My two sisters, I had a dream when I was taking a nap just now."
"I dreamed that His Majesty smiled at me and asked me if you missed me."
"Although dreams are something very vague, I still think that this is a very auspicious sign."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Your Majesty will really take over Dadu."
"The news should reach us within a few days."
"As His Majesty's women, we should do something now."
After hearing this, Zhu'er said excitedly: "Sister Gong, I have been waiting for you to say this for a long time."
