Chapter 363 He is not ashamed, I am ashamed for him
Jiujiu naturally remembered Emperor Zhaoning's words. She also wrote back to him, telling him not to worry and that she would protect herself.
When the eldest prince heard that Emperor Zhaoning had sent a letter to Jiujiu to express his greetings, he hurriedly asked his subordinates, "Do you have a letter from me?" Did his father ask him if he had any?
The subordinate smiled and said, "No."
“…”
Father, I am so sad!
Daughters are important, but sons are tough and thick-skinned, so are they unimportant?
snort--
The eldest prince was sulking, but only for a while. After he recovered, he took out paper and pen and took the initiative to write a letter to Emperor Zhaoning to greet him.
Since his father didn't write to him, he would write one to his father!
In the letter, he stated that he swore to protect his sister with his life, and that nothing would happen to his sister. He asked his father not to worry, and he also hoped that his father could write to him.
After receiving the letter, Emperor Zhaoning coughed a few times and said, "He is the eldest brother of 17 younger siblings, and he is 30 years old. He is actually competing for favor with his youngest sister? He is not ashamed, but I am ashamed too."
"Take this letter away quickly. I feel so ashamed for him when I see the sour words in it."

After the Western Chu army reached a place one hundred miles away from the Mobei border, they joined up with the Southern Kingdom’s army and set up camp.
The Southern Kingdom camped in the east, and the Western Chu camped in the west. The two sides seemed to be safe in their own corners and did not interfere with each other, but in fact they were a united front and could join forces to fight at any time.
General Zhou Ye and the eldest prince have been discussing defense matters, and Di Jiang is also involved.
Jiujiu went to see the 3,000 ferocious beasts that followed the army to the battle.
There are lions, tigers, and wolves... about one thousand of each, managed in different areas, and raised and cared for by animal trainers. Jiujiu patrols every day and plays the piano to appease the beasts and prevent them from gathering together and causing trouble.
At this moment, Jiujiu was riding Mengmeng to inspect.
She brought Mengmeng, Big Brown Bear, and Duhuahua this time.
Dahuang howled for a few days and wanted to come, but Jiujiu didn't bring him. Dahuang is old, his ears are deaf, and his eyes can't see very well. If he comes, he will just cause trouble, so it's better not to bring him.
Rhubarb emo…
During the patrol today, Jiujiu discovered someone who was not quite normal.
The man was feeding the beast. When he saw Jiujiu suddenly coming over, he panicked and dropped the wooden basin containing meat in his hand.
But he quickly regained his composure.
He even explained with a smile that he was so excited to see the princess that his hand slipped.
Jiujiu didn't say anything at the time and didn't take it to heart, but at night, when everyone had gone to bed, she secretly came over to take a closer look.
She thought there was something wrong with people who fed wild animals during the day.
After checking, the problem was indeed found.
Something poisonous has been added to the food eaten by the wild animals, but the toxin is so small that it can be ignored. Even the veterinarians who are responsible for checking the safety of the wild animals' food cannot detect it.
Jiujiu was Qingzi's last disciple and was skilled in both medicine and poison. He had extraordinary abilities, and after a long investigation, the truth was finally revealed.
It's okay for wild animals to eat this once or twice, but if they eat it for a long time, it will be a big problem.
In mild cases, the patient will suffer from fatigue and weakness, lose the ability to resist, and be killed at the mercy of others. In severe cases, the patient will suddenly die from the poison.
The boy during the day was probably a spy from Mobei, whose purpose was to kill and cripple all the beasts of Western Chu.
After the two armies went to war, the Western Chu army was left to fight with only their flesh and blood, and was crushed by the ferocious beast army in Mobei.
Jiujiu's eyes turned cold, and she prepared to go back immediately to study the poison and create an antidote to resolve this dilemma.
But as soon as she returned to the tent, she saw Dijiang.
Di Jiang stood with his back to her, wearing a silver armor and a high ponytail, looking very high-spirited.
Jiujiu couldn't help but be stunned.
Di Jiang heard Jiujiu's footsteps and turned to look at Jiujiu. After traveling for several months, he looked a little tired. He was also troubled by the various issues concerning the resettlement of the army, eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, and training.
But the moment he saw Jiujiu, the gloom on his face instantly disappeared and a smile appeared.
"Jiujiu!" he called out happily, with a smile on his face.
"Brother Dijiang." Jiujiu responded.
The two ran towards each other, and after looking at each other face to face for a while, Dijiang hugged Jiujiu tightly in his arms and said in a low voice: "Without you, every day is cloudy."
When I saw her, all the dark clouds in my heart dissipated and the sun was shining brightly.
Unprecedented openness.
Unprecedented peace of mind.
Dijiang hugged Jiujiu, feeling her familiar breath, and closed his eyes contentedly, enjoying the warmth and beauty of holding her in his arms after a long separation.
"Me too." Jiujiu murmured.
After hugging for a while, Di Jiang let go of Jiujiu, pinched her little face lovingly, and asked, "Have you received the coming-of-age gift?"
Jiujiu knew what Dijiang was asking. She stretched out her hand, shook the golden bracelet with dragon and phoenix carved on it, and said, "Got it."
On the day of the Jiujiu Ceremony, Dijiang sent many gifts to express his friendship. The gift list was submitted to the Ministry of Rites of Western Chu and read out at the banquet.
But privately, he also gave her something else, a gold bracelet.
The bracelet is engraved with a swimming dragon and a flying phoenix, which he carved personally, implying that he and Jiujiu are a perfect match, and that the dragon and the phoenix bring good luck.
He hopes Jiujiu can wear it every day.
Jiujiu did not let him down.
At this moment, he looked at the golden bracelet on Jiujiu's wrist, smiled and said, "It looks really good."
In the past, Dijiang always felt that gold was tacky, made one look older, and was not suitable for young women to wear. It was not until he met Jiujiu that he realized that it was not a problem with the gold, but a problem with the person.
Jiujiu has fair skin and good looks. When she wears gold, she looks very noble, beautiful, and has an absolutely unique temperament...
Dijiang looked at the bracelet with love in his eyes that was about to overflow. He lowered his head and gently kissed Jiujiu's hand wearing the gold bracelet.

On the other side, inside the Mobei Palace.
The former great prince of Mobei, Huyan Feng, is now the new emperor of Mobei.
At this moment, he said to Wusun Jin behind him: "Uncle, are you sure? Are you sure that the spies you arranged can completely annihilate the beast army of Western Chu?"
"What if, I mean what if, what if those beasts in Xichu don't die?"
"If they can't die, we in Mobei will be in trouble." After all, the little princess can control wild beasts, and with the Liuguangqin in her hand, she must be better at controlling wild beasts than them in Mobei. The power that the wild beasts burst out in her hands is bound to be extraordinary.
I’m afraid we can’t defeat Mobei.
Wusun Jin snorted coldly and said, "My emperor, you can rest assured about this."
"The medicine I gave to the spy was prepared by an expert. It is very strong and difficult to be detected."
"Before the war begins, all the beasts in Western Chu will be dead and will not pose any threat to us."
"Even if Xichu finds the Liuguangqin, what can we do? Without the beast, Xichu is no longer our opponent."
"Everyone in Western Chu will surely die in Mobei."
