Bai Chuxiao placed a kiss on his forehead and said with a smile, "Okay."
Chu Tianze's cold, hard face softened, and he pointed to his lips.
"Childish!" Bai Chuxiao thought to herself, but still gently placed a kiss on his lips...
A smile flashed in Chu Tianze's eyes as he picked her up and gently placed her on the bed.
Bai Chuxiao raised an eyebrow. "This is a military camp. His Highness the Prince of Yan, who is known for his strict military discipline, shouldn't do anything out of line, right?"
A look of helplessness flashed across Chu Tianze's face. "It's time to sleep."
Bai Chuxiao beckoned with her small hand and said with a gentle smile, "Hmm, it's time to sleep. Husband, come on up."
Chu Tianze's eyes darkened. After lying down with the little one in his arms, he slowly said, "Where did Madam learn these seductive tricks from..."
Bai Chuxiao gently stroked the lines of his face, blinked, and said, "Isn't this helpful to Your Highness?"
Chu Tianze pressed her hand down and whispered, "Does Madam really want to test my willpower?"
Bai Chuxiao smiled gently, "His Highness the Prince of Yan, whose words are law, would naturally not break military regulations, would he?"
Chu Tianze's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up. "I'm not actually as upright as Madam thinks."
"You're so cunning!" Bai Chuxiao quietly withdrew her hands, chuckling sheepishly, "I was just teasing you."
Chu Tianze chuckled and pulled her back into his arms. "You've wilted so quickly..."
Bai Chuxiao sneered, "I'm just maintaining your image in the military."
Chu Tianze smiled indulgently, "Then thank you very much, Madam."
The next morning, the two appeared as usual in front of the various tents.
Yu Fengyang laughed and asked, "You two, where have you been these past two nights, disappearing like ghosts?"
Chu Tianze glanced at him indifferently, "Where are those people from the imperial court?"
Yu Fengyang said seriously, "If nothing unexpected happens, we should arrive first thing tomorrow morning."
Chu Tianze sneered, "Very well, prepare to give them a proper welcome."
Yu Fengyang felt a chill run down his spine at his smile. "Your Highness, are you alright?"
Bai Chuxiao raised an eyebrow and said, "He's fine, but if you keep talking nonsense, things might not be so clear."
Yu Fengyang quickly stepped aside, saying, "Please, you two, I'm going to find General Song."
Chu Tianze and Bai Chuxiao walked hand in hand into Murong Yuan's tent.
Murong Yuan and Murong Cheng both bowed respectfully to the newcomers, saying, "Your Highness."
Now that Chu Tianze's identity is clear, the Murong family will definitely stand with the Prince of Yan. For the Murong family, he is the only bloodline of the Qin family, so everything is naturally different...
Chu Tianze suddenly bowed solemnly and said, "Thank you for your help over the years, Lord Marquis and General..."
Murong Yuan hurriedly said, "Your Highness, this is absolutely forbidden..."
Bai Chuxiao shook her head at the group and said, "Your Highness, maternal grandfather, and uncles, we're all family now, so let's skip the formalities."
Chu Tianze chuckled, "Xiaoxiao is right... If my maternal grandfather and maternal uncle don't mind, they can treat me like Xiaoxiao and me as juniors from now on..."
Murong Yuan and Murong Cheng smiled slightly, "Your Highness, there's no need for that. Let's just discuss our own matters."
Chu Tianze nodded, his intentions were there; the form of address was actually unimportant. "Lord Marquis, General, are you two confident about the situation with the Northwest Army?"
Murong Yuan said solemnly, "The two hundred thousand Northwest Army soldiers are at Your Highness's command."
Bai Chuxiao said slowly, "How about we try with the 300,000 imperial troops?"
Murong Cheng shook his head, "These troops brought from the capital are different from the border troops; they only recognize people from the palace..."
Chu Tianze said in a deep voice, "General Marquis, inside Dingzhou City..."
Murong Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, I have already settled everything in the manor. It's just a residence."
Chu Tianze nodded, "In that case, we'll wait to welcome our distinguished guests..."
As soon as the two stepped out of the main tent, a guard suddenly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness and Your Highness's Consort, there is a young master surnamed Fan outside requesting an audience."
Bai Chuxiao smiled faintly, "Bring her in."
"yes"
Chu Tianze looked at the woman beside him and said, "The young master of the Fan family? Xiaoxiao's arrangement?"
Bai Chuxiao raised an eyebrow. "He's quite quick, but this wasn't my arrangement; it was his own choice."
Inside the main tent, Fan Ziming, dressed in simple white robes, bowed and said, "Ziming greets Your Highness and Your Highness."
Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "Brother Fan, you must be tired from your journey."
Yu Fengyang, standing to the side, said with a faint smile, "Brother Fan, you really came!"
Fan Ziming laughed and said, "Brother Yu, you flatter me. What I said in the capital before was, of course, serious."
Chu Tianze said calmly, "The Northwest is in turmoil right now; Your Highness's timing is rather unfortunate."
Fan Ziming cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, Ziming is no longer a prince."
Yu Fengyang raised an eyebrow. "Oh, Brother Fan, are you following my example and leaving the family?"
Fan Ziming smiled and said, "It's just an empty title. If Brother Yu doesn't care, then Ziming naturally doesn't care either."
Bai Chuxiao slowly spoke, "Brother Fan, what do you think of the Northwest?"
Fan Ziming smiled and said, "Just as Your Highness said, things are precarious."
Chu Tianze said calmly, "Then how do you think this situation in the Northwest should be resolved?"
Yu Fengyang looked at him curiously, while Fan Ziming lowered his eyes and slowly said, "A strategic retreat."
Chu Tianze raised an eyebrow. "Oh? The imperial officials will arrive tomorrow."
Fan Ziming spoke up, "I do know a thing or two about the people who came."
Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly, "Brother Fan, please speak freely."
Fan Ziming slowly said, "The ministers who have come this time are none other than Minister of Rites Kong, General Pang Kun of the Three Prefectures, and the Heir Apparent of the Prince of Yingchuan."
Yu Fengyang said angrily, "That one in the palace certainly knows how to use Xuan's in-laws."
Bai Chuxiao sighed helplessly, "The Kong family's roots are all in the capital; now they've been dragged down with us."
Chu Tianze grasped her hand. "It's alright, the Kong family won't do anything."
Fan Ziming smiled and said, "Lord Kong is merely relaying a message. As long as the Kong family stays obediently in the capital, that person in the palace will not make any rash moves."
Bai Chuxiao said calmly, "Zhang Yu certainly felt comfortable sending his son to the Northwest."
Yu Fengyang raised an eyebrow and said, "Speaking of which, that one is also considered the prince's cousin."
Bai Chuxiao blinked. What kind of person was this cousin? He didn't even recognize his own royal brothers...
Chu Tianze said calmly, "If I can rightfully seize military power, I'll naturally take the plunge."
Fan Ziming smiled and said, "It seems that Your Highness already has a plan in mind."
Chu Tianze raised an eyebrow and said, "Since you're here, get some rest first. We'll meet them together tomorrow."
Fan Ziming cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Highness." This showed that the Prince of Yan already considered him one of his own.
Yu Fengyang put his arm around his shoulder and they left the tent together. "Brother Fan, how about we go to my place for a drink?"
Fan Ziming said helplessly, "Brother Yu, this is a military camp."
Yu Fengyang laughed and said, "What's wrong with that? The Northwest is bitterly cold; a little strong liquor to warm up is just what we need."
Fan Ziming smiled and said, "Then I'll gladly accept your offer."
Inside the tent, Bai Chuxiao said with a faint smile, "Fan Ziming is indeed a capable person."
Chu Tianze said calmly, "What Xiaoxiao values is naturally correct."
Bai Chuxiao raised an eyebrow. "You trust me that much? I make so many decisions for you, are you really not bothered?"
Chu Tianze took her hand and chuckled, "After everything we've been through, does Xiaoxiao still doubt me? Husband and wife are one, and there's nothing in the Yan Prince's mansion that you can't decide."
