Gulp-
Her stomach growled.
Su Xiaoxiao hummed. “I think… I’m hungry.”
Wei Ting took a deep look at her stomach. Could this child also be a little devil..
Impossible. She must be a soft and cute little girl.
Wei Ting got out of the carriage and went nearby to buy her a box of osmanthus cake. Just as he was about to sit back in the carriage, another carriage drove over.
“General Wei, please wait!”
Wei Ting frowned slightly and turned around. He saw Eunuch Quan get out of the carriage with a smile and cup his hands at him. “Greetings, General Wei.”
As he spoke, he looked at the osmanthus cake in Wei Ting’s hand and then at the carriage. He smiled and asked. “Madam Wei is also in the carriage. right?”
Wei Ting asked calmly, “What’s the matter?”
Eunuch Quan smiled and said, “His Majesty has summoned General Wei and
Madam Wei to the palace.”
In the Imperial Study, Xiao Duye, who had rested for the entire night and had barely recovered some energy, reported the battle situation at the border to Emperor Jing Xuan.
Although Emperor Jing Xuan was in the capital, battle reports came from the border from time to time. What Xiao Duye said was basically the same as in the battle reports. At least, Xiao Duye did not lie when he attacked first in Northern Yan and in several important battles.
There was no sadness or joy on Emperor Jing Xuan’s expression. This confounded Xiao Duye. He had spent a Herculean effort to establish battle achievements and almost lost his life. Why didn’t his father look as happy as when he conquered the southwest?
Could it be that the credit for defeating Northern Yan was not as much as calming the internal strife?
It couldn’t be…
The internal strife was a small mess, but Northern Yan was an enemy country.
Xiao Duye was puzzled.
Emperor Jing Xuan said, “Did you really order the attack on Northern Yan?”
Xiao Duye cupped his hands and bowed. He said solemnly, “Northern Yan was extremely arrogant. It actually let Tuoba Lie lead a 100,000-strong army into Broken North Pass, invade our border, and seize our city. If I don’t take revenge, I’m not a gentleman. Moreover, I’m a prince of the Great Zhou. I naturally have to protect the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou and the people of the Great Zhou!”
Emperor Jing Xuan continued, “Why didn’t you use Leng Kui?”
He had used Leng Kui. Didn’t he go to the battlefield to kill enemies well?
Xiao Duye quickly realized that his father was referring to not needing Leng Kui to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies.
Was his father… questioning him or asking?
Xiao Duye could not figure out what Emperor Jing Xuan meant for a moment, so he could only say truthfully, “Father, when Leng Kui was the commander-in-chief, he repeatedly failed. Not only did he let Tuoba Lie attack Broken North Pass, but he also lost the border city. The morale of the soldiers fell greatly, so I elected Qin Canglan as the commander-in-chief.”
Emperor Jing Xuan said, “What’s going on with Leng Zhao and Leng Jue?”
Xiao Duye said, “Leng Jue fled at the last minute, causing the soldiers to die tragically. Jing Yi was captured, so it would be difficult to energize the army if we didn’t kill him! As for Leng Zhao, he was seriously injured when fighting Tuoba Lie. He was delirious and ran out to drown in the well.”
When Leng Zhao died, he was sleeping in the tent. He only heard the news the next morning.
