Chapter 227: Renamed to Zhenbei Army!
On the second day, Shen Yuanhao went to report to Shen Lanxi with dark circles under his eyes.
"General, I found out that Ginkgo is Queen Qi's man."
Shen Lanxi: “What else?” On their way to Dongchuan, they were assassinated and poisoned. Was it the Queen’s doing?
Shen Yuanhao said regretfully: "No, she didn't know much. After Zhou Yunyue was named the Princess of Marriage, she was arranged to be with Zhou Yunyue. She only received the mission before departure." The target is the eldest sister.
Thinking of the crazy things Ginkgo said, Shen Yuanhao wished he could return the money to her dozens of times.
Shen Lanxi looked at her brother's angry face and said bluntly, "Did she say that she received the Queen's order to destroy my innocence, but she couldn't kill me?"
Shen Yuanhao looked at his elder sister carefully, nodded silently, and then said angrily, "It's too easy for her to die."
Shen Lanxi: "Qi Yingqun has no children, and has not given birth to any prince in all these years. What is her purpose in doing this?" Although the Qi family seems to be prosperous, none of their descendants are capable, and the family is already on the decline.
Could it be that Qi Yingqun was planning to replace her with those good-for-nothing brothers and nephews in the family?
It seems I have to inform Sixth Senior Sister and do some digging into this successor.
…
The new princess who was married off to foreign countries suddenly died of an acute illness, and everyone naturally thought that the identity of the princess would return to Zhou Yunyue.
Even Zhou Yunyue herself felt so.
No, let that b*tch die, she can’t be implicated.
Zhou Yunyue immediately made a fuss about looking for Shen Lanxi.
After the guard reported back, he took her over.
"I heard that the slave girl Ginkgo died of an acute illness." Zhou Yunyue went straight to the point.
Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows in amusement: "Why, are you reluctant to give up your title of princess again?"
Zhou Yunyue was waiting for this sentence. She hurriedly explained: "Who is reluctant? I will be a member of the Shen family in the future. I am your sister-in-law. If you dare to push me out to marry, you will be sorry for your brother who is born of the same mother!"
Shen Lanxi: "So, you want to push away the important task of marriage one after another and give the identity of the princess to others?"
Zhou Yunyue frowned. Why did Shen Lanxi speak so harshly?
What do you mean she gave the princess's identity to someone else? That's the title of princess, an honor that many people can't obtain even if they burn incense for several lifetimes.
She gave the title to someone else, and that person should kneel down and kowtow to thank her.
Shen Lanxi: "Why don't you speak? Are you unwilling again?"
Zhou Yunyue said disdainfully: "Who said I don't want to? I just don't want to pay attention to you!"
Shen Lanxi: "Then let another maid beside you take your place as the princess and continue the peace talks!"
Zhou Yunyue didn't expect Shen Lanxi to agree to her so easily. As expected, there is no woman who doesn't care about her family. She still has to rely on the Shen family in the future, and she dare not offend her own brother.
"General, do you want me to give her some medicine to ensure that she won't talk nonsense again in the future!" Ban Si Cao's brows were wrinkled into knots.
Shen Lanxi looked indifferent: "Let her make a fuss, it won't last long anyway!"
Ban Sicao still felt that Zhou Yunyue was getting too lucky, so he turned his eyes and immediately went to find Shen Yuanjing with ease.
She will be Shen Yuanjing's woman in the future. Outsiders cannot teach her a lesson, but he can always teach her a lesson himself!
The second wave of exchange teams also arrived. After seeing off the third wave of the Northern Expedition Army, Shen Lanxi changed the name of the new army with a stroke of her pen.
"Just call it Zhenbei Army!"
The three words "Zhenbei Army" were written on rice paper. Someone would take it away and find an embroiderer to sew it on the flag.
Some of the people below looked puzzled, as they thought they would be called Shen's Army.
Shen Yuanxu and others were also among those who were confused.
They soon figured it out. The Zhenbei Army was more powerful than the Shen Family Army. Also, their eldest sister might still have a grudge against Zhou Ruyuan.
Zhou Ruyu was given the title King of Zhennan, and his elder sister was called Zhenbeijun.
One from the south and one from the north, the elder sister wants to challenge Zhou Ruyuan!
At the same time, I felt vaguely that my elder sister did not stay in such a solid place like Dongchuan, but ran to the northwest where she was unfamiliar with the place and had no roots at all.
He must want to see Zhou Ruyuan make a fool of himself.
After all, Zhou Ruyuan had been here for nearly three years without making any achievements. If the elder sister made achievements here, in the eyes of the world, the elder sister would be better than Zhou Ruyuan.
The elder sister probably just wants to vent her anger!
No matter how heroic the eldest sister is, when it comes to love, she is still a woman at heart!
Shen Lanxi didn't know what the Shen family's children were thinking, and even if she knew, she would have sneered at them.
The two sides exchanged soldiers, and such a large-scale battle soon spread throughout the northwest, including to those foreign tribes who were eyeing the Great Zhou.
"General, we captured six spies this morning!" Xiao Fang came to report to Shen Lanxi.
Shen Lanxi generously commented: "You have a pair of sharp eyes!"
Xiao Fang was secretly delighted, and before evening he found four more.
The way to deal with these spies was simple and crude, they were hung on the city wall for public display!
After a night of wind and sand, a thick layer of ice and snow was blown onto the ground.
The spies hanging on the city wall were frozen stiff, and when the wind blew, they collided with each other, making a bang-bang sound.
When the strong wind blows, it sounds like ghosts howling and wolves howling, which is both terrifying and scary.
Even the spies lurking not far away did not dare to look up.
"General, Huangtu City is like an iron barrel. Our men can't get in. But the spies who followed the Great Zhou Army sent back news that every time they arrived at a city, they would post a conscription order at the city gate. They must be going there to recruit soldiers!"
After hearing what the deputy general said, Abe Hiroshi's big belly kept rising and falling.
"The Great Zhou army wants to negotiate with us on the surface, but in fact they are secretly recruiting soldiers and horses, and want to fight a desperate battle with our three Turkic tribes."
"General, the civil strife in the Great Zhou court has not been resolved. I think there may be something strange about this matter!" The deputy general analyzed to Abe Hiroshi.
Abe Hiroshi's eyes flickered as he said, "I will continue to negotiate with the Great Zhou. Send more people to see how the Great Zhou people are recruiting soldiers, and then go and find out whether the civil strife in the Great Zhou court has been resolved!"
"yes!"
A few days later, the Zhenbei Army received a message from the Turkic envoy.
"Our honorable General Abe Hiroshi said that you, the Great Zhou, do not take the peace talks seriously, do not take the envoys of the three tribes seriously, and look down on him. You even let a woman come to negotiate with him, which is simply an insult to the warriors of the three tribes. He wants to unite with the envoys of Tatar and Persia to call the Great Zhou to account!"
Shen Lanxi: "I warmly welcome their arrival. At the same time, please tell General Abe Hiroshi to bring 2,000 dan of food when you come!"
The Turkic envoy, who had been so arrogant just now, left in disgrace.
"How can I let him leave Huangtu City safely if he dares to disrespect the general?" Ban Si Cao was so angry that he wanted to chase after him.
Shen Lanxi: "Tough talk is just a means of negotiation between the two sides, just a way of pulling things apart." There's no need to take it to heart, everyone can make tough talk!
