Maybe this little girl is just puzzled about the clothes.

  Actually, Su Song brought it over, everything is clear, this sentence is more like asking: How did you end up dressing like that? Are you still a prince?!

  "Your Majesty, by the time you see this letter, I will have already died. The bandits have been besieging the city for several days, and although we fought bravely, it was ultimately to no avail. Hiding my wife and children is not out of fear of battle, but rather because they would be useless in this situation."

  "I have been fond of books and history since childhood, but I have not yet made a name for myself in the imperial court. Thanks to the kindness of the imperial court, I have come to know Kangzhou today. I have nothing to repay with, only to share life and death with the city!"

  "It is said that there are those who would abandon the city, I will not tolerate it! The humble army defends its territory with discipline, every inch of land and every blade of grass cannot be abandoned! We will fight to the death to protect Kangzhou, even if we sacrifice every last soldier, we will not retreat!"

  ……

  Zhao Xi took over the package and unfolded Zhao Shidans memorial... This is a death warrant!

  Zhao Xi's chest was suffocating with anxiety. In this letter of farewell, Zhao Shi Dan did not mention a single word about the defeat of the soldiers, nor did he utter any false words about the chaos in the Guangnan army. He only expressed his determination to repay the emperor's kindness and his guilt for being unable to protect the safety of the people of Kangzhou.

  "All..."

  At the moment she opened her mouth, Zhao Xi felt that her throat was blocked and unclear. She made a few swallowing movements... it's better now.

  "Let's take a look! ********, ********……"

  For the first time, plagiarized poem was so smooth. At this moment, Zhao Xi did not realize that it was a famous sentence, and it was on the tip of his tongue, very naturally said, as if only this sentence could match Zhao Shidans pretentious behavior.

  Everyone can face this death sentence with equanimity.

  Originally a pre-war discussion, now it has become a silent mourning...

  "Su will instruct and settle Zhao Qian's family, this matter will be reported to the imperial court. The imperial court will not mistreat the descendants of a loyal general!"

  Although discussing the war situation is no longer possible, leaving two girls in the military camp... who knows if this is considered a taboo?

  Zhao Xi felt that it was more suitable for Su Song'an to be settled down.

  "Your Highness, I want to see...see my enemy fall with my own eyes! I beg Your Highness to grant me this!"

  Uh... Su Song hadn't even pushed the door open when this little girl started shouting. Speaking of which, she's not that young anymore, probably fifteen or sixteen, seventeen or eighteen years old.

  Zhao Xi understood this mood, this is the front line, not a place to play. But looking at that girl with red eyes, always ready to shed tears... Zhao Xi really didn't know how to deal with it.

  This matter Zhao Xi would definitely refuse, and it wouldn't be good to strip this girl's face in front of a crowd. Zhao Xi made an effort to exchange glances with Su Song, but Su Song didn't look at him at all, directly lowering his head to count on his fingers.

  There's a place with a push...

  It's another memorial to the imperial court requesting a clear response. Yu Jing has psychological shadows, seeing Zhao Xi bring the memorial again, still asking him to endorse the imperial court's clear response... Who is he going to frame this time?

  Don't look at the memorial first, just stare at Zhao Xi! This time, let the Crown Prince explain clearly. Last time... last time I had already boarded the pirate ship and couldn't turn my face around immediately.

  This time, let His Highness the Crown Prince clarify things.

  "Your Honor, let's reserve our opinions for now and discuss this further after reviewing the memorial!"

  No one came, dragging Di Qing, Su Song, and those two inseparable tomboys.

  This old man is also, unexpectedly didn't notice that there were two more people beside Zhao Xi, Di Qing recognized them as the female babies at a glance.

  ……

  "Zhan Yu is the backbone of our Guangnan! This is a blow to our supporting troops!"

  Yu Jing didn't suppress her emotions like Zhao Xie did after reading Zhao Shi Dan's farewell letter, instead she was overcome with grief and tears streamed down her face.

  Shaking his hand, using all his strength, he almost shouted out those words.

  "Sir, Xi has something else..."

  Last time it was giving sweet dates first, then digging a hole for oneself to jump into, can't be this time again?

  Yu Jing was originally still in a state of indignation, but was suddenly pulled out by the Crown Prince's words.

  I told Old Yu, don't look at me like that! You're making me feel guilty...

  "Qian Shu's widow, taking care of several children, from Kangzhou, traveled through mountains and forests, hiding during the day and emerging at night, was rescued by Su Xuanfu, the governor of Suzhou, but fell ill and did not recover."

  "Nowadays, carrying a letter of farewell and a seal from Gongzhou to Binzhou is Zhao Qian Shu's eldest daughter..."

  Zhao Xi still didn't know the girl's name and just pointed at her with his hand when he mentioned it.

  The little girl was quite clever and took advantage of the situation to take a step forward and bowed to Yu Jing.

  The military commander ignored him, and this time Yu Jing wore official robes, still a higher-ranking official than his own father, so he naturally knew who to ask for permission.

  "Have you seen Old Master Lan?"

  "Sū Yán has seen Old Master..."

  Uh... what's all this commotion? Su Song's mouth twitched again.

  It seems that this girl is quite sensible and won't bother Zhao Xi anymore... To be honest, just looking at his greenish-yellow clothes, it's hard to trust him.

  Yu Jing's age, this style, this serious look and temperament are very consistent with the official that Father told him about.

  It feels great to watch the excitement...

  The girl said that she must go and see the downfall of her enemy, can't let her go? Alright, don't bother with you guys, I'll go by myself!

  I can climb mountains and cross forests from Jiangsu to Guangzhou, just like I can from Pennsylvania to Yangzhou... That Su family kept echoing, saying something about accompanying each other to the end.

  Not bothering himself with the matter, Zhao Xi saw Yu Jing's embarrassed expression... Refreshing! Let you doubt my intentions again...

  "Di Shuai, it is not suitable for military expeditions to bring women along, but the royal family governing personally has no such taboo. Is that right?"

  "That's right!"

  Zhao Xi hadn't even had time to stop him when Di Qing already spoke out.

  What's going on? Why is it still up to me? Don't you think you're also in the military?

  "Your Highness, this time you went on an expedition, Your Highness did not bring any palace servants, and your daily life is quite inconvenient. This is just right, first let Zhao and Su accompany you, wait until the court is clear, and then make a decision."

  Can't you just not cheat people like this?

  Look at Yu Jing's old fellow with a triumphant look, and then take another look... Hmm? What about this Su girl, why does she also have a triumphant look on her face?

  Di Qing didn't mind, Your Highness's identity is different, even if you bring some palace maids and servants from the palace when you go on an expedition, it doesn't violate military taboos. So, I agree with that.

  Ke Su's face turned ashen, like he was constipated, and after humming for half a day, Zhao Xi thought he would have other excuses, but instead he also agreed.

  What's going on! Bringing two girls, what kind of fight is this?

  They can still fight, the two girls are very reserved and polite. Apart from taking care of Zhao Xi's daily life, they haven't made any impolite requests... mainly because they are still a bit unfamiliar with each other.

  Zhao Xi accompanied Di Qing to personally investigate Kunlun Pass.

  This place... how can I put it, really has a bit of a "one man guards the pass, ten thousand men cannot open" flavor to it.

  Zhao Xi had always been puzzled by this. He didn't understand why they had to fight every time they encountered a pass, couldn't they just go around and attack from the back?

  When he saw the terrain of Kunlun Pass, he understood.

  Kunlun Pass is nestled in the winding mountain road, like the throat of the esophagus, controlling the strategic passageway for north-south traffic.

  Surrounded by mountains, layered peaks, green peaks like the sea, undulating and endless.

  In such a high mountain and dense forest, let alone going around to the back, even if you enter the mountain, it's uncertain whether you can find your way back.
