Chapter 97: The eldest brother is like a father
Luo Kui pressed the forehead. When it was just summer, Beigu Kingdom sent envoys to Qingzhou to meet Emperor Chu and asked to marry the princess of Yunchu. He became more and more upset. In the past, the surrounding countries sent princesses to marry, but now they want Yunchu Kingdom to marry princesses to marry. It is true that today is different from the past.
She shook her head and sighed. His Majesty's descendants were prosperous, with more than twenty princes, but there were only two princesses. The eldest princess who died young was the daughter of Queen Yun Jiangxiang, and the little princess who grew up safely was the daughter of Concubine Xu. Only she could marry him. However, Concubine Xu must be reluctant to leave. There are many royal daughters, but his daughter is also the flesh of the family. No parents are willing to send her out to marry him. This matter was quarrel in the court for a while. His Majesty has not made a decision, and the marriage has been delayed to this day. Thinking of this, she felt a trembling heart and suddenly had some ominous thoughts. Seeing that the marriage was not successful, the Beigu Kingdom had the idea of using force to force each other. However, in recent years, the Yungu Kingdom had not been prosperous in martial arts, and it was not like the Beigu Kingdom waiting for battle all day long. In this battle, Yunchu Kingdom had no chance of winning.
This time, the commander of the Beigu Kingdom's army was a veteran who had been through the battlefield. The two deputy commanders were upstarts from a military general family. The veterans had many tricks and were able to fight. Over the years, as long as there was a war, the Beigu Kingdom had always been in such a way. On the other hand, the Yunchu Kingdom had experienced veterans, old wounds, and wounds, were demoted, or entered the territory. The newest men in the army were very easy to talk about on paper, but were frightened but were frightened. After several battles, they either suffered defeat but captured a few foreign women and came back to enjoy them. They were scared early and went home to be rich and idle.
In recent years, the generals in the army greatly weakened the combat power of Yunchu. Fortunately, His Royal Highness had a bit of the courage of Emperor Chu when he was young, and was unafraid of death and willing to study. After dozens of wars, although they were victorious and defeated, they were not as brave as military tactics or majesty in the army, and they were all incomparable to the past, and they were vaguely as close to the Marquis of Guannei of the Guannei.
However, no matter how strong the national strength is, it cannot withstand the battle every three years and every five years, let alone the state of Chu is no longer as good as before. The national treasury is empty and the outside is strong. If the smoke really rises again, it may be another tragedy in which the people live in poverty.
Luo Kui stared at her. She was a daughter. Even if she had a thousand military talents, she could not go on the battlefield. She was powerless in the war. She looked at Su Zi, and her eyes were filled with worries, and she was silent. "If you can solve a problem with a woman, why bother to use a knife and a gun? What's more, the soldiers and generals of the Yunchu State are weaker than those of Beigu State. No matter how you look at this war, you have no chance of winning. Your Majesty will never send troops to fight easily. Maybe you will agree to the marriage of Beigu State in the end, but it is difficult to give up whoever girl is. Su Zi, ordered the spies to keep a close eye on the northern border. If Beigu State has any action, you will report it at any time. You must also prepare. If this battle is inevitable, you will probably lead the army with the prince again."
Su Zi stuffed the peeled orange into her mouth and smiled relaxedly: "I have fought dozens of big and small battles, don't worry."
There was no eye on the battlefield. The three families of Shu Sujing fought on the battlefield for decades, buried the iron-blooded bones of two generations, and gained the prestige of the Guannei Houshui family in the army today. Su Zi is the direct disciple of Guannei Hou. There is no need to worry about the military strategy. It is not difficult to use this prestige to dispatch soldiers and generals. But it is rare that he not only has to arrange troops, but also protect the safety of the prince. He is not careless at all. In the critical moment, he even has to fight with his life. Luo Kui lowered his head and thought: "Now that he is staying in Qingzhou, how many people can call."
Luo Kui took the tongs of fire, pulled out a few roasted chestnuts from the charcoal fire, picked it up and handed it to Su Zi, and smiled and said, "Okay, I baked it for you specifically to block your mouth. Eat slowly, your mouth is so hot that it will be blistered but there is no medicine for treatment."
Then Su Zi smiled happily, carefully picked up the chestnut, turned from his left hand to his right hand, and from his right hand to his left hand. After repeated this many times, he pushed it away and stuffed it into his mouth, and said in a dim manner: "Well, I'm worthy of being a child that I have pulled with one hand. I know I feel sorry for me the most."
Kong Qing burst out laughing: "You pulled it with one hand, how could this sound so awkward?"
Su Zi gently stroked Luo Kui's long hair and gestured with her hands. When she thought of the old things, she couldn't help but feel sad. The years were fleeting and the years were getting older. He said seriously: "I was born when Luo Kui was eighteen years old. I have worked hard to pull her from such a little bit to such a big one now. Isn't this the elder brother like my father?"
Luo Kui made a gesture and patted Su Zi for a moment. A smile that could not be hidden leaked from the bottom of her eyes, as if the spring was bright and the radiant brilliance made people unable to move their eyes: "When will you not talk nonsense?"
Kong Qing grabbed the point of Su Zi's words and smiled strangely: "Su Zi, you are eighteen years older than Luo Kui, so why dare you ask if you are Gui Geng this year."
Su Zi breathed a long sigh, rolled her eyes and said, "You guess."
Luo Kui almost sprayed tea from her nostrils, unable to control herself and wanted to tell Kong Qing Suzi how old she was, but she looked slightly and saw Suzi squinting her eyes, as if she was threatening her not to talk too much. She gritted her teeth and endured for a long time before she corrected her sitting position, with a solemn look on her face and then said coldly: "The streets are all clean."
"It's all clean." Su Zi nodded.
Luo Kui surrounded the Xuan Fox Fur Cloth and slowly stood up: "Let's go."
Kong Qing didn't understand, but didn't say much, and followed the two of them out.
It was late at night and the whole courtyard was dark. Everyone was already sleeping deeply. The gate of the courtyard was wide open. Du Heng was guarding the door. Seeing the three of them coming out quietly, they hurriedly carried the lanterns to lead the way and led everyone to the next courtyard.
On weekdays, there is only a young couple who come in and out of this house. They make a living by setting up stalls at the entrance of the alley. They sell food such as candied haws, roasted sweet potatoes, fried chestnuts, etc. in winter, and in summer, they sell soups such as sugar, mung beans, sour plum soup. In spring and autumn, they sell seasonal fruits and fruits, and their lives are dull and bitter.
