After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 75 Awkward Consolation (add more for the witch)
Ning Youbei said: "Brother Huang, is there another possibility that General Situ wrote you a secret letter, but it was intercepted?"

Hearing Ning Youbei's words, the emperor paused.

If that's the case, then the situation of the southern frontier army is really not good.

"Youbei, don't be in a hurry to go to Jianghuai this time, go to General Situ for me first, and see what's going on with him?"

Ning Youbei responded.

Qu Chu thought for a while:
"Your Majesty, I will summon Wang Liang from them tomorrow and tell them to keep an eye on movements outside Beijing.

As long as there are these [-] troops, no matter whether there is any change in General Situ, they will be able to hold on for a while, and then they will consider whether to send the northern army to help. "

The emperor nodded in agreement.

Qu Chu still has one biggest worry, but she didn't say it at this time.

She was worried that the border guards in the south would collude with the Nanyi to lure the Nanyi to invade.In that case, there will be some trouble.

However, they are going to the south soon, and everything will be settled after meeting with General Situ.

……

On the way back, Ning Youbei's spirit was not very good.

Qu Chu knew that it was because Duke Huai cooperated with others to deal with the emperor, so he asked him, "What kind of person is Duke Huai?"

"He..."

Ning Youbei recalled things from his childhood.

"Because of the low status of his biological mother, he never seemed to have seen his master since he was a child, and he was good with everyone, but no one took him seriously.

In fact, I didn't like him when I was a child, I thought he had no backbone.

But no matter how cold I was to him, he accepted it cheerfully.After a long time, I got used to him like that.

Later, when Brother Huang ascended the throne and became emperor, the attitude of the other Ning family members towards me changed a lot. People who used to look at me from above all came to please me, but only Duke Huai still treated me as before, and made me think him pleasing to the eye some.

Therefore, when he wanted to enfeoff Huai City, I pleaded with Brother Huang on his behalf.Originally, Huai City was the fiefdom chosen by the emperor for me, but seeing me pleading for King Huai, I gave it to him.

I asked myself that Brother Huang and I have never done anything wrong to Duke Huai, but I never thought he would..."

Speaking of this, Ning Youbei didn't want to talk anymore.

Qu Chu thought for a while and said:
"I entered the military camp at the age of 15. Because of the Qu family's relationship, the general at that time took good care of me, but it aroused dissatisfaction from everyone, and many people made things difficult for me openly and secretly.

I have not been a good-tempered person since I was a child. At that time, I was forced to enter the barracks because I was full of hostility. I never showed mercy to those who bullied me. My solution was to fight.

Everyone saw that I was young and not particularly tall, so they didn't take me seriously at all.But after one fight after another, everyone was afraid of me.

Because of this, I slowly gained followers in the military camp.In various subsequent battles, I not only took the lead but also saved many people.

Then, I was promoted.

After being promoted, no matter what kind of battle, my soldiers are the least injured, and they have almost maintained a record of victory.There are even more people who believe me and follow me.

In this way, I became a great general step by step.

So, don't think about why Duke Huai would betray you, as long as you are strong enough, there will naturally be countless Duke Huai to attach yourself to. "

This was the first time Qu Chu talked about her military career with others, and she and Su Yingxue never said these things.

Because when she met Su Yingxue, although she was only a second-rank General Wei, all the soldiers in the north and west were headed by her.She has already shed her immature shell, and what she has is only hard and strong.

In fact, Qu Chuju's example does not apply to Duke Huai's matter, but she is not a delicate person, and she doesn't know how to explain people.

But the singularity is:
Ning Youbei understood what Qu Chu meant, and his mood immediately improved.

Ning Youbei reached out to hold Qu Chu's hand.

Qu Chu's hand was a little cold and hard, and it didn't feel very comfortable to hold, but Ning Youbei felt very at ease.

"Achu, I'm a little sad, after all, Duke Huai is my brother who grew up with me.

But I'm not a weak person, and I don't go into a dead end. "

Qu Chu didn't speak any more, and patted the back of Ning Youbei's hand with his other hand to show comfort.

"Ah Chu, it's good to have you by my side!"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the carriage was very warm.

After a while, Ning Youbei asked Qu Chu: "Did you guess who was the one who exposed your identity as a woman?"

"Why did you ask this?"

"I saw you talking about the Duke Huai incident today, and how the people behind the scenes could ensure that the power of governance is in their hands, so I thought of this matter.

You must have thought about it in your mind at the beginning. "

I didn't expect Ning Youbei to be quite sharp!

Qu Chu had some thoughts in his heart, but his tone was light:

"At that time, I calculated various possibilities, and later found that the most likely one was Duke Wei.

Because there is really no other person who can take over my military power except Chang Weijun.

But what Duke Wei wanted at that time was not the military power of the 30 army, they had no interest in going to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

What they want is the [-] soldiers and horses I brought back to Yudu. "

It's just that they didn't expect that the emperor came up with a plan to sneak through the old warehouse, which made all their calculations come to nothing.

……

After returning to Chu Palace, the two went to wash separately.

Qu Chu took out the Chiyang fruit that Su Yingxue gave her and looked at it for a while, then took out a knife, cut the Chiyang fruit into slices and threw it into a glass of clear water.

After a while, all the Chiyang fruits thrown in turned into water, and the glass of clear water also turned blood red.

Ning Youbei came over after washing up.

Qu Chu picked up the glass of blood-red water and handed it to Ning Youbei, "Drink it."

Ning Youbei took it and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Water with my blood in it."

"How did you drink your blood for me?"

"I have been fed a lot of medicine since I was a child, and I am immune to all poisons. You can also be immune to all poisons if you drink my blood."

"But this is your blood, I won't drink it."

"I have already released it, should it be wasted?"

Ning Youbei thought about it, and reluctantly took a sip of water.

There is no bloody smell in the mouth, but a little sweet, a little cold, a little sour, and a little fragrant, and the taste is not bad.

It didn't look like water with blood at all.

Ning Youbei looked at Qu Chu suspiciously, "Is it really water with your blood in it?"

"Finish."

Ning Youbei finished drinking the water obediently.

"Ah Chu, where did you get the blood from your cut? Show me."

Qu Chu lied without changing his face and heartbeat: "If you poke it with a needle, you can't see the wound."

Ning Youbei became even more suspicious.

How could the whole glass of water turn so red if there were only a few drops of blood?
But Qu Chu didn't give Ning Youbei time to think, "Sleep, there are still many things to arrange tomorrow."

Ning Youbei obediently went to bed.

Qu Chu slept outside.

Ning Youbei reached out to hold Qu Chu's hand, "Ah Chu, can I hold your hand to sleep tonight?"

Qu Chu thought for a while, but didn't push away.
