A personal guard outside the tent shouted loudly, "My lord, a large group of barbarians are charging into camp!"

Li Laosi didn't care about anything anymore. He directly put on his longbow, grasped his long sword, mounted his horse and led his men out to kill the enemy.

There was chaos in the court, he wasn't familiar with or good at intrigue and scheming, but killing enemies was something he did effortlessly! Complex matters, leave them to a smart person like the Marquis. 。Leave the killing to him. 。Just as well, I was out greeting the supply team earlier. In the past ten days, I haven't encountered any barbarians. His saber is already thirsty for blood. Tonight, let's quench its thirst with barbarian blood! Mu Xu didn't know where he came from, but he also wore armor and held a spear. He galloped beside his future father-in-law and shouted loudly, "Fourth Master, I'm here to lend you a hand!" 。"Look, how many orcs are we going to kill tonight!" "Good kid, you're quite brave. I wonder how much skill you have" Li Laosi laughed, "Come on, let's settle this on the battlefield!" The two charged out of the camp, one after the other, leading five hundred vanguard troops into the darkness...During the day the sky was overly clear, and at night it was also full of stars 。Perhaps they didn't want to see the flames of war, and one by one, the stars closed their eyes...However, in less than half an hour, the barbarians lost a hundred men and retreated. 。

Li Laosi and Mu Xu also brought soldiers back to the camp. Thirty-five were killed in action, and more than twenty were light or seriously wounded. Even Li Laosi had his arm slashed.

Jiang Cheng heard that she had personally brought the medicine to the main tent, and smiled, “The county princess is so thoughtful. This time, in the grain wagons, there are five carts of medicinal materials, and over twenty catties of finished medicine, enough for us to last two months.” 。”

Li Lao Si didn't mind such a small wound. After washing the bloodstains in the basin, he was about to put down his sleeve and said, "Keep the medicine for your brothers. I don't need treatment for this little scratch. It will be fine in three or five days. " 。"How can that be!" Jiang Cheng disagreed, persuading him, "The County Princess sent medicine, most likely because she's worried about you and the Marquis..." 。If you refuse to use it, the princess must be both annoyed and anxious. 。Li Laosi remembered that before he went out, his daughter had clung to him and reminded him over and over again, she even put on a smiling face. 。Mu Xu quickly applied medicine to him, and finally wrapped his arm with a white bandage. 。Li Lao Si let out a breath and praised, "My daughter is amazing. The medicine she concocted doesn't burn so much when sprinkled on it." 。Mu Xu smiled and said, "Master Si is wrong. This is a prescription concocted by Doctor Zhang, and the county princess's pharmacy made it." 。If Zhang, the divine doctor, knew about this, he'd probably blow his top. 。" Haha," Old Li said with a chuckle, "Don't worry, Zhang Lao is my daughter's master. His prescriptions are just what my daughter -" 。He just knows, if I get him two jars of good wine, it'll be settled. 。And everyone else burst into laughter too. 。After a while, Li Laosi and Jiang Cheng went downstairs to rest. 。Jiang Cheng called out to Mu Xu, "My tent is bigger, why don't we squeeze in together tonight" Mu Xu shook his head and replied, "I'll stay here with the Marquis. I can just toss a mat down at the door and make do for one night." 。If the Manchus attack again at night, I still want to fight them. 。"This kid, he's not tall but he sure has a lot of killing intent!" Jiang Cheng chuckled, patted his shoulder, and didn't insist anymore, "Alright then, you sleep here." 。"Come try the porridge we have in our camp tomorrow morning!"

With that, he left with Li Laosi.

The Lord went around the curtain, took a wolfskin rug and threw it to Mu Xu. 。Mu Xu directly dove into the curtains, spread out the wolf fur quilt beside the bed, lay down, yawned a big yawn, and just when the Marquis thought he was going to sleep, he suddenly opened his mouth 。"My lord, history has shown us that those who overstep their boundaries often meet a tragic end. What if that person... cannot tolerate you What will you do then I think it wouldn't be a bad thing to lead our troops back to Jiangnan and have Tianwu serve a new master." 。At least you wouldn't worry about someone giving an order and having your loved ones wiped out. 。"To truly feel at ease, isn't it best to hold the butcher's knife in your own hands"

The Marquis stretched out his hand and lifted the quilt, lying down on the bed. After a long silence, he finally replied 。"As long as I achieve victory in the northern campaign and retake control of Jiangbei, my wish will be fulfilled." 。That person wanted to achieve great feats and earn a name that would be remembered for centuries. Even my life, they could take it, I don't care. 。"If it weren't for that fateful encounter, I would have died on the road long ago." 。The rest of my life is a bonus, I don't want too much. 。As for Li's close relatives, if I am not dead, they might be in danger. But if I die, they will be infinitely safe, even with constant honor and glory. 。"Heaven martial had been ravaged by war for over ten years, I don't want to, because of me alone, let the rivers of Jiangnan run red with blood again" 。The grievance of a single individual, or their hatred, is insignificant compared to the tranquility of millions of people. 。"My chest ached with bitterness. Before coming here, I spoke to the county princess about these matters. She also said that you wouldn't agree to have him brought back to Jiangnan." 。I still don't accept it, but it seems like the county princess understands you better now. 。The Marquis chuckled silently, thinking of his daughter far away a thousand miles, and feeling very pleased. 。That girl is too smart, she can see through everything. 。After you go back, don't say too much, so she won't keep thinking about it. 。The future is unpredictable, but I will do my best to return home safely as long as there is a glimmer of hope. 。"I still want to personally send her off to her wedding!" Mu Xu was silent, knowing that further persuasion was useless. 。"Lord, you are the only hero I have ever seen in my life." 。" The lord rolled over, his voice very calm as he replied, "Heroes are revered by the world, but they are destined to live up to the expectations of the common people. They only disappoint the hopes and thoughts of their families. " 。That's why I chose you to be the county princess's husband. 。"It's because you are independent, not bound by worldly constraints, and only have your loved ones in your eyes, with no grand ideals >>> 。As a father, entrusting my daughter to you is the most reassuring thing I can do. 。" Mu Xu choked for a moment, and tentatively accepted this "praise". " 。"My Lord, rest assured, the Lady will always be first in my heart." 。Even you, if you were in danger with the Lady of the County, I would save her first. 。" Remember what you said tonight always, sleep now 。The lord remained silent. The tent fell quiet, save for the occasional footsteps of the patrol outside... Whatever happened in the darkness, whether joy or sorrow, the sun would still rise as usual. 。As a new day dawns, the poor toil for their livelihood, while the rich rack their brains to preserve their wealth and status. 。Once again, at a grand court assembly, officials led by Minister of Rites presented their request to the Emperor to establish an heir as soon as possible. 。The emperor remained silent, smiling and asking, "I have also heard your thoughts, my esteemed officials." 。Now, on my desk, there are dozens of official documents piled high. 。I shall make my decision soon. All of you, please remain patient and wait. 。The Minister of Personnel was a crafty old fox. For some reason, seeing the Emperor like this made him uneasy. 。Therefore, he decisively changed the subject, bringing up the matter of the rain-offering ceremony. As a result, the Minister of Rites still did not give up and immediately followed up by saying, "I implore Your Majesty to establish the Crown Prince as soon as possible. When the time comes, with the Crown Prince presiding over the rain-offering ritual, he will surely move heaven and earth, bringing down the sweet rain." 。The emperor still smiled, got up and went back to the inner palace directly. The court session could just be forgotten about 。The Minister of Officials coldly glanced at the Minister of Rites, said nothing, and took the lead to walk out. 。as before, who go to great lengths to find out his information and come disguised as him, swindling money and food...Zhang, the old master doctor, was truly meticulous. He changed hands diagnosing pul...
