Chapter 358: All the girls from the Xiang family
"should?"
Liang Zhan sneered. Although there was no anger on his face, An Yi still noticed that His Majesty was unhappy.
"Your Majesty, calm down. I will go and have them reconfirm the Princess's whereabouts."
Liang Zhan picked up the message that had just been delivered and threw it off the desk:
"Go and confirm the princess's location, then report back to me."
An Yi stepped forward and picked up the paper that His Majesty had just thrown down, then left from the dark, leaving Liang Zhan alone in the Yangxin Palace.
Liang Zhan sat on the dragon throne, leaning back and looking straight ahead. The first Qilin sachet Chongyue gave him had long lost its fragrance and was hung on the pen holder on the desk.
The patterns embroidered with gold thread on it were still as clear as before. Liang Zhan took it down and smelled it. It had been placed together with the brush and ink for a long time, and it was stained with the scent of ink.
Liang Chongyue had no idea that her scumbag father was sending people to check where she was. She had already arrived at the border and was sitting in her uncle's tent drinking mutton soup.
This is a tradition of the army. After arriving at a place, in addition to setting up camp, the first meal must be as good as possible to relieve the fatigue of the journey.
After taking a sip of mutton soup, the fatigue from the past half month was relieved a lot.
There was limited food at the border, and the imperial court did not send any food, so they could only rely on what they brought with them and what they bought from nearby villagers. All together, it was only enough to last them another month.
Liang Chongyue directly and strictly controlled the system's eating, and let it go to the mall to buy things when it was greedy. At this time, the system was gnawing on the sheep bones she had eaten at her feet.
After Liang Chongyue finished eating, he poured the remaining mutton soup to the system and let it have a taste.
"Chongyue, now that you're here, you're the Xiang family's little general. Your tent is behind the main tent, and it should have been packed up. Go check if there's anything missing."
"Thank you, uncle. I'll go check it out now."
Liang Chongyue left the commander's tent with the system. Ping An was waiting outside. When he saw her come out, he immediately came forward to greet her.
Liang Chongyue followed Ping An towards his tent, but before they reached it, Liang Chongyue suddenly turned around and looked at Ping An.
Ping'an thought he had done something wrong, and was at a loss facing the scrutinizing gaze of His Highness.
Liang Chongyue restrained his strength and slapped Ping An on the back:
"This isn't the palace. There's no need to do this."
When we got here, we saw that everyone was a soldier, and everyone walked with their heads held high and their chests puffed out. In comparison, Ping An's hunched back with his head down was quite obvious.
Although Ping'an is a eunuch, he is still a man and still cares about his reputation. Liang Chongyue doesn't want others to look down on the people he brought up.
After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, she stepped into the tent. The interior was warm and cozy. She could tell at a glance that all the items used were of top quality, probably even better than her uncle's commander-in-chief's tent.
There is even a place for the system to sleep, with a special blanket.
"You packed this?"
Ping An followed His Highness in and nodded silently when he heard His Highness's question:
"Thank you for your hard work. You haven't had the mutton soup yet, right? Go try it, it tastes good."
After leaving safely, Liang Chongyue opened the "Forty-two National Strategies" given by his scumbag father and began to read. It was still early in the morning and there was still light in the tent.
When the sun was setting and they were about to light candles in the tent, Liang Chongyue closed the "Forty-two National Strategies", put on his mask and walked out. He happened to see his second uncle walking towards him.
“Is everything ok?”
"It's all good."
Every time Xiang Huating saw Chongyue, it was like seeing his little sister, especially when Chongyue was standing on the grassland with her hair tied up, it was as if time had gone back to the past.
"Come on, uncle will take you to dinner."
Everything at the border was new to Liang Chongyue. The unknown wild flowers blooming on the grass seemed to have more vigorous vitality than those carefully cared for and grown in the imperial garden.
Dinner was served in the commander-in-chief's tent as usual. When Liang Chongyue entered, the long table was already full. At a glance, there were only two seats left next to his uncle.
After Liang Chongyue came in, except for a few people who knew about it, everyone's eyes went straight through her second uncle and focused on her.
She had been accompanying her scumbag father to court since she was ten years old, and she could call out the names of everyone sitting at the table.
Similarly, when her eyes scanned the entire audience, Liang Chongyue also noticed that someone should have guessed her identity.
Her eyes are exactly the same as her scumbag father's. Everyone present is smart, and they can see it but dare not say it directly. Her Royal Highness the Princess must be here for a reason.
But no one dared to speculate whether it was arranged by His Majesty or Her Royal Highness the Princess came on her own.
"Come on, come and eat."
Liang Chongyue followed his second uncle and walked towards the two seats next to his eldest uncle.
Since ancient times, the left has been respected and the right has been humbled. Liang Chongyue consciously walked to the left and took off the mask on his face. Now it was difficult to miss what was previously invisible.
I don’t know who made the inhalation sound, but Liang Chongyue, who was sitting in the front row, heard it.
"Everyone, this is my daughter from the Xiang family. Like A Zheng, she has a single name, Yue."
All those present were generals of the Xiang family army. Their ancestors had followed the Xiang family to conquer the world in their previous lives. After hearing what the commander said, they immediately raised their glasses to toast Liang Chongyue.
Liang Chongyue then picked up the teacup in front of him, stood up and toasted everyone present.
"I am honored to have dinner with you all today. I wish us a successful first battle and victory in this battle as soon as possible."
Hearing Her Royal Highness the Princess say this, everyone's morale also rose.
The loud shouts from the commander's tent were heard from far away, and the morale of the soldiers increased significantly for a while.
Today's dinner was not long. After the generals left, Liang Chongyue and his second uncle determined every location and coordinate on the sand table according to the display on the map.
This job was tedious and complicated, and no mistakes could be made. Liang Chongyue and her second uncle worked together until midnight before they finished everything.
"Okay, Chongyue, you've worked hard today, go back and rest early."
Liang Chongyue shook the sand off his hands, and after walking out of the tent, he saw Chi Rong guarding outside, and brought him back to his tent.
"Master, Qi Yu is ready."
When Liang Chongyue was working on the sand table with his second uncle just now, he heard his eldest uncle say that Langwa was now ownerless and the new owner had not yet been chosen. He did not want to go to war and wanted to negotiate peace with Dai Viet.
Langwa was not ready, but she was.
Liang Chongyue would naturally be happy if he could make Daiyue give up its idea of attacking without wasting a single soldier, but he knew after thinking about it that this was impossible.
The North has always been eyeing Dai Viet and Lang Wa, and his real purpose is to take advantage of this opportunity to take down Dai Viet and Lang Wa in one fell swoop.
