After listening to my voice, the villain became addicted to the plot

Cheng Jin sat on the chair and picked up the orange lying next to him and peeled it.

Cuizhu's little psychic had already inquired about it. There were no major events in the court these days. They just dealt with a few unimportant officials. There was less chatter around Chu Chengye.

Chu Chengye supported the chair with his hands and watched Cheng Jin's movements, as if he was expecting something.

Cheng Jin peeled an orange, looked at the size of the orange, weighed it, opened his mouth and stuffed the whole orange into his mouth.

Chu Chengye: "..."

When the food was almost done, Cheng Jin remembered that Chu Chengye had not spoken, and turned around to face Chu Chengye's helpless look.

She paused, as if she thought of something, and raised the orange in her hand, "Do you want to eat it?"

Chu Chengye nodded, and Cheng Jin generously threw a big orange into Chu Chengye's hand.

Cheng Jin said: "You haven't said what you are here to do."

Chu Chengye was peeling oranges while talking to Cheng Jin.

"The battle in the south has been fought. Nan Qi won. The army just entered the city this morning and reported this matter to me."

"Win!" Cheng Jin's eyes widened instantly, and he was very excited.

The southern part of Nan Qi lost many cities and was annexed by surrounding small countries. Since they were occupied by other countries, those small countries were naturally harsh on the people of these cities and took as much money as they could from them.

Now that the city was taken back, it not only relieved the people in the city and gave a warning to the surrounding small countries, but also made the people in the capital feel the power of Southern Qi and be inspired.

Seeing that Cheng Jin was happier than him, Chu Chengye nodded, "Yes."

"Now only the border is still fighting."

"The terrain at the border is complex, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is extremely difficult to capture it. It will be difficult for Lieutenant General Cheng to send him there this time."

"The war at the border has been stalemate for a long time. If the enemy loses a battle, they will not leave the camp for ten days and a half. They will hang up our Southern Qi soldiers like this, and then wait until the weather is bad to take the opportunity to attack. It is really... cunning."

Cheng Jin naturally inquired clearly about Cheng Sheng.

The war at the border did not just start in this year or two, but the Southern Qi Dynasty had always made it their mission to win the border, but they had never succeeded.

This land was originally the land of Southern Qi, but it was snatched away by other countries as its own many years ago. It is understandable that Chu Chengye wants to get it back, but as Chu Chengye said, it is not an easy task.

The border terrain is complex, the environment is harsh, and the weather is often unpredictable. Let alone conquering it, even crossing the border area is difficult.

Besides, the people at the border are the most brave and good at fighting. They have an advantage over the people from the Central Plains. They can also take advantage of the local terrain and weather. Taking over the border is like a dream.

Cheng Sheng led the troops to reverse the defeat and persisted until today with almost no defeats. It is already very difficult to persist until now. It is also important to imprison people over there. The Southern Qi army has insufficient food and grass and is not adapted to it, so he wants to consume them until they can no longer persist. Until you stay.

But the border people have lived there for generations. How could the soldiers of Southern Qi endure it? It would only be a matter of time before they retreated.

Cheng Jin nodded, "It's been almost half a year since my brother left Beijing for the border crossing. I don't know when he will come back."

Chu Chengye raised his hand and touched Cheng Jin's hair comfortingly, "Vice-General Cheng is extremely capable and powerful, and he is also the best at leading troops in war. He will be back."

"To tell you the truth, I received a handwritten letter from Vice General Cheng a few days ago. He said to reassure me that they are not far away from returning to Beijing." Cheng Jin nodded and said, "I want to ask the Emperor for something, no matter what Whether my brother is victorious and returns to Kyoto, please ask the emperor not to blame him, he must have tried his best."

Chu Chengye said: "It's natural for you. I know Cheng Sheng's temper best. Don't worry, everything will be fine."

It was rare for Chu Chengye to say such comforting words. He almost never said them. When he looked at Cheng Jin, his eyes were full of tenderness, but his words were indeed cliché.

Cheng Jin couldn't help but smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Cheng Jin was in a better mood, Chu Chengye handed the freshly peeled orange to Cheng Jin's hand.

Chu Chengye said: "You are also the hero of the victory in the southern war."

Cheng Jin put the oranges into his mouth one by one, "Then the emperor also wants to reward me?"

"affim."

Chu Chengye approached Cheng Jin and said, "What do you want?"

Cheng Jin rolled her eyes. She really couldn't think of what she wanted. She waved her hands helplessly, "This makes me think that I really don't know what I want. Why don't I save it this time and tell you when I think of it?" emperor."

[I’ll trick you again when I think of it. 】

Chu Chengye shook his head helplessly, "Whatever you like."

Previously, Cheng Jin thought that what Chu Chengye said about Cheng Sheng's upcoming return to Beijing was to persuade her. When Cheng Jin went to Jingyang Palace, he actually saw Cheng Sheng's autographed letter.

In the letter, Cheng Sheng said that there would be good news in a while, and that the army's return to Beijing only took up a few words. This letter was more like an apology letter.

Cheng Sheng regarded the failure to attack the border as his own fault. He said that if he could return to the capital, he would ask the emperor for forgiveness. Now, what he was going to do next was to hope that the emperor would not involve Cheng Yishou in the court and Cheng in the harem. Jin, he can bear all the charges alone.

The more Cheng Jin read this letter, the more he felt that something was about to happen, and his heart felt like it was hard to rest at ease.

According to Cheng Sheng's temperament, how could he write such a pessimistic letter? He must have made some plans.

What does it mean to apologize again if you can return to the capital?

He can definitely come back.

In the book, Cheng Sheng was framed for betraying the country and collaborating with the enemy because he trusted his friend too much, and was executed by the general in the army with solid evidence. But now that his friend is already dead, Cheng Sheng has no reason to do so. Can't come back to the capital.

Cheng Jin still remembers the description in the book that when Cheng Yishou heard the news of Cheng Sheng's execution, he fainted when he saw Cheng Sheng's body, and his hair turned gray overnight. He was always in good health after dealing with Cheng Sheng's funeral affairs. Cheng Yishou was lying in bed so sick that he couldn't get up and couldn't even speak.

When he was a little better, he ignored Chu Chengye's caution one after another, saying that his son was wrongly accused, and asked Chu Chengye to reverse the case for Cheng Sheng. However, the evidence was indeed conclusive at that time, and Chu Chengye ignored it.

If Cheng Jin, who was still in the cold palace at that time, had not left a life to have someone to rely on outside, I am afraid that Cheng Yishou would have followed.

The plot has not developed like the original book, but Cheng Jin still can't imagine how devastated Cheng Yishou and Zhao Shulan would be if Cheng Sheng really failed to come back.

Cheng Jin thought of how she had played and laughed with Cheng Sheng before and how Cheng Sheng had protected her. Everything seemed to be as before her eyes.
