Quiet.
As this man walked into the court hall, one could hear a pin drop.
Da da~
Da da~
The king and his ministers standing before the throne stared at each other with bated breath.
The person who came was walking with his head held high. His seemingly thin figure was actually very tall and straight. His black hair was tied up high in a ponytail, swaying gracefully behind him with his steady steps.
The armor was tucked in her slender arms.
There was mud and sand in the gaps between the armor, and some places were even deformed and damaged. It was obvious how many hardships and obstacles the opponent had gone through to get here.
However, through these, it can be seen that the other party is a military general.
Unlike her identity as a military commander, she is a real woman when she takes off her armor.
What is particularly stunning is her stunning appearance.
A pair of peach eyes, so beautiful that they can capture the heart and shake the soul.
"Chang Zhao, why are you back?" The young king was delighted and could not wait to come down to greet you in person: "Why didn't you inform me in advance so that I could bring all the officials to welcome you."
In view of Su Changzhao's outstanding achievements in fighting abroad for many years, no one dared to stop him from entering the palace.
However, unlike the king who was blinded by lust, he only saw Su Changzhao's beautiful face, but all the civil and military officials in the court saw Su Changzhao taking off his armor and showing a determined look on his face.
When the king came before him, Su Changzhao immediately knelt on one knee.
"Your Majesty, I, Su Changzhao, come to see you."
The king could not hide his love for her. The person he had been thinking about came back quietly. This was really a huge surprise.
The king said happily: "No need to be polite, please accept my invitation. I was just telling them that I want to take you as my concubine..."
He reached out his hand, trying to help Su Changzhao up, but the other party dodged it without leaving a trace.
The king was startled, and then he heard Su Changzhao say loudly and neither servilely nor arrogantly:
"I am grateful for your grace, Your Majesty. It is an honor to be your concubine."
Upon hearing this, the king showed satisfaction, as if such an answer and result were as it should be.
He even looked at those stubborn people who had just opposed his marriage with a look that said, "See, what did I say? I told you to mind your own business."
"Oh, long move, between you and me..."
He gave him another false helping hand, but before he could finish his words, Su Changzhao continued:
"But I have a question for you, Your Majesty," he looked up at the king, "Do you want a woman who fills your harem and warms your bed every night, or a general who guards the borders and expands the territory?"
Every word is sonorous and powerful.
After saying that, a pair of peach eyes looked at him intently!
"I'm going to call you..." The king's eyes were filled with shock and confusion.
Isn't it better to be his concubine than to live in danger on the battlefield?
He was almost there.
The next moment, Su Changzhao suddenly drew out the sword from his waist!
The shiny sword blade reflects the cold light.
It was an edge that was soaked in countless blood and polished by flesh and blood.
The king was so frightened that he fell to the ground!
Voices immediately rang out around: "Protect the king!"
But Su Changzhao simply turned the sword back, swung the sword, and cut the clothes on his back.
The king, who was already protected by layers of protection, looked at him with eyes wide open in shock: "You..."
The other court officials around were also shocked.
Su Changzhao turned around, and the thin clothes on his back fell apart, revealing his graceful back and waist, as well as the extremely eye-catching and terrifying scars on his back.
These scars, like horrible insects, were embedded in the smooth and snow-white skin, where they should not have appeared. They gave people a great sense of regret.
If it weren't for these scars, the stunningly beautiful woman before me would be so perfect.
There were so many old wounds and new scars. It was hard to imagine what kind of tragic experience she had gone through to have so many ugly scars.
Some even penetrated the entire back, which shows how serious the injury was.
His life has hovered on the verge of death several times, but now he can appear alive in front of everyone. He has truly experienced life and death and is blessed by God.
See here.
Everyone present fell silent.
Even the king, who still wanted to have his own way, remained silent.
Because how can a person who is not afraid of death stay content within the palace walls?
How many people in the court have such abilities and achievements?
She is not an ordinary woman, but a patron saint who can protect the foundation of Northern Yan and make the enemy countries tremble in fear!
·
Three days later.
It happened to be the Qiqiao Lantern Festival in Yanjing.
Su Changzhao took his deputy general Yu Jiuchen out to the night market.
They didn't dare go out during the day, because when they entered the city that day, almost everyone in the city saw their faces.
If you go out in broad daylight, you will definitely be surrounded and unable to escape.
But tonight is different.
As it gets dark, the streets become crowded, and most of the young men and women who come out are looking for marriage partners.
This is the reason why Su Changzhao specifically dragged his deputy general Yu Jiuchen along.
As long as they are seen as a couple, no one will notice them.
At this moment, they were coming to Xishi Street in casual clothes.
It's very lively here. Singles on the street are looking for other singles, trying to find their partner.
Those who are not single will only cherish the one they are with, so no one will notice them.
So Su Changzhao is now walking on the street, feeling so comfortable.
"It seems that the general is in a good mood today." Yu Jiuchen said with a smile.
"You know it again?" Su Changzhao said without even turning his head.
For convenience, she wore women's clothes today, but she did not wear many beautiful hair accessories like the women in Yanjing she saw around her.
The reason was simple. It was not that she didn't have any. Every time she returned from a campaign expedition, the king would reward her with a lot of jewels. The general's wife also prepared several large boxes of jewels for her as a dowry. Even if she wore one every day, she would have to wear the same one every day for several years.
But Su Changzhao really thought those things were too cumbersome.
A maid in the mansion combed her hair into a bun and she came out.
Her head was bald, and if it weren't for her gorgeous clothes and stunning appearance, she might have been mistaken for the daughter of a wealthy family who had fallen on hard times.
Yu Jiuchen knew very well that if it were not for the convenience of travel for men and women, Su Changzhao might not even change into women's clothes.
So today, when he saw someone wearing women's clothes for the first time, he felt it was particularly rare and cherished it. His eyes fell on Su Changzhao involuntarily: "As a subordinate of the general, you still have to have this observation ability."
He was answering her earlier question.
"Haha, come on, I'll treat you to a drink." Su Changzhao smiled and suddenly said generously.
It turned out that they were passing by a restaurant.
Su Changzhao smelled the aroma of wine.
Just as the two were about to cross the street, a commotion suddenly broke out from the corner.
"Let's go and take a look." Su Changzhao said, and without waiting for Yu Jiuchen to respond, he took a step forward.
As she walked over, she saw a girl crying bitterly in the huge crowd.
Another young man in a moon-white shirt was being beaten up by a group of people!
Passerby: “How pitiful!”
"That's right, it's so pitiful."
Listen to them saying "poor thing" left and right.
Su Changzhao didn't know what had happened, so he found a passerby who was shaking his head and asked him.
"Big brother, what's going on?"
