Chapter 225 The Emperor's Latest Order

Just when Tang Peipei was busy in full swing, Mu Jintang also received the latest order from the emperor.

Negotiate with the Chen people.

The people of Chen had originally signed an agreement with the Southern Dynasty not to attack for ten years.

It was precisely because of the signing of this contract that the late emperor called Mu Jintang back.

Who would have thought that it would only be two short years.

The Chen people attacked again, and their attack was even more fierce than before.

But even so, when encountering the god of war Mu Jintang, they still ended up being defeated.

The people of Chen should be thankful that the previous emperor of the Southern Dynasty was not a warlike person.

Otherwise, with Mu Jintang's ability, he would definitely be able to capture many cities of the State of Chen.

This time, Mu Jintang captured more than 100,000 prisoners from the State of Chen alive.

Mu Jintang did not dare to lock these people up together, for fear that they would cause trouble. He only used some soup to keep them alive every day to prevent them from dying in the Southern Dynasty.

At first, these people would curse angrily, but later they simply lost their strength.

The emperor sent an imperial decree, appointing Qin Sheng, the imperial censor in the capital, as the chief negotiator for this negotiation, with Mu Jintang assisting.

This is the first major event the new emperor has done after ascending the throne, so naturally there have to be some extraordinary results.

Therefore, he was not only satisfied with asking the Chen people to stop attacking the Southern Dynasty, but also changed the time of the agreement to not attack the Southern Dynasty within 20 years. In addition, he used two cities to exchange the captives in Mu Jintang's hands.

This is also the emperor’s bottom line.

Of course, negotiation.

It's almost the same as doing business. You have to bargain back and forth, and finally make the deal when both parties are relatively satisfied.

As the victorious party, the location of the negotiations would naturally be decided by the Southern Dynasty.

Mu Jintang then had the location set at the intersection of the two countries' territories.

Qiunan Mountain.

In the border town in winter, the climate is cold and dry, with biting north winds and low temperatures.

Tang Peipei also put on her coat early.

She was so cold that she kept rubbing her hands.

"This weather is really cold." Tang Peipei said as she took the hot water bottle handed to her by the servant. "By the way, when are you leaving for Qiunan Mountain?"

"Let's talk about it after Lord Qin arrives." Mu Jintang was flipping through a book in his hand.

It was raining lightly outside.

"I don't know when the rain will stop?" It was a rainy day and gloomy. Even during the day, there was little light in the house and you needed to turn on a lamp to see clearly.

"It probably won't rain for a few days." Mu Jintang looked outside the house.

Tang Peipei really doesn't like this rainy day.

"I have something to do at the government office later. Can you stay at home alone?" Mu Jintang put down the book in his hand and looked at Tang Peipei.

Tang Peipei looked at his slightly concerned eyes and said with a smile: "It's okay, you go ahead, I may have to go to the clinic later."

Although the clinic now has enough staff, since she is in charge of the case, she can't just ignore it.

"Although the rain is not heavy, it is cold in winter and it is easy to catch a cold if you get caught in the rain." Mu Jintang took the clothes on the clothes rack beside her and prepared to change into them.

Seeing this, Tang Peipei no longer cared about roasting the hot water bottle.

He put the hot water bottle aside, stood up and walked over, naturally took the coat from Mu Jintang's hand, and put it on Mu Jintang.

Mu Jintang looked at his wife who was carefully dressing him, his eyes full of tenderness.

I remember that Tang Peipei didn't seem to know much about these things before, and she never seemed to think that she should help him dress.

However, she didn't know since when, she had been able to naturally take the clothes from his hands, carefully tidy them up for him, and put on the jade belt.

Tang Peipei felt Mu Jintang's gaze. When she looked up, she saw Mu Jintang's eyes full of tenderness. She was stunned and her face turned red for some reason.

She gently pushed the man away a little and moved behind him to stop him from staring at her.

My heart was beating very fast and my face was a little hot.

Tang Peipei exhaled silently, took Mu Jintang's fox fur cloak and put it on him.

After sending the person out the door, he held his cheeks with his slightly cold hands.

I hope the warmth of my hands can quickly dissipate the heat on my face.

Thinking back to the way Mu Jintang looked at her just now, it was as if he wanted to suck her in.

The heat on my face just wouldn't go away.

The maid Dengcao was bought temporarily by Mu Jintang to serve Tang Peipei.

When Tang Peipei came, she did not bring any maids, only a few guards.

Dengcao saw his wife holding her cheeks with both hands, staring at the direction the general left with a silly smile, feeling a little puzzled.

They are now in this small courtyard in the border town. There are not many servants. The only ones serving them are Deng Cao, who serves Tang Peipei, and Mu Yan, the servant who serves Mu Jintang.

Deng Cao watched the general leave before coming out of the wing room. As soon as he came out, he saw his wife in this state. How should I put it? She looked a little silly.

However, she didn't dare to say it.

After all, she is the lady and the master.

Deng Cao stepped forward, afraid of disturbing his master, so he could only call softly, "Madam."

Ignore her.

Dengcao took a breath, spoke a little louder, and said, "Madam."

Still ignored her.

Dengcao was helpless. After thinking for a while, he shouted a little louder again, "Madam."

Tang Peipei was startled by the sudden sound and her body trembled.

Dengcao saw that she was frightened and knelt down in fear.

Tang Peipei could even hear the sound of "bang".

When I came to my senses, I saw Dengcao kneeling on the ground, trembling.

She coughed lightly with some embarrassment and asked, "Dengcao, is there something wrong?"

Deng Cao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Tang Peipei didn't seem to blame her.

Then he said, "Madam, this morning, you told me to remind you to go to the clinic in the afternoon."

Tang Peipei looked at the sky and asked, "Yes, that's right. What time is it now?"

Dengcao replied, "Three quarters past noon."

Tang Peipei nodded and said, "Get up." Then she turned around and went back to the inner room.

Dengcao quickly stood up and followed him in.

He helped Tang Peipei get dressed and placed a new hot water bottle in her hands.

Only then did he go out with Tang Peipei, holding an umbrella.

Tang Peipei saw that she tilted the umbrella towards herself, while her body was exposed to the rain.

He reached out and took the umbrella from her hand and said, "I can go by myself, you go back."

Dengcao was stunned for a moment, loosened his hand holding the umbrella, and watched Tang Peipei leave.

When Tang Peipei arrived at the clinic, Old Man He and several military doctors were discussing something.

When they saw Tang Peipei coming, they all greeted her warmly.

Tang Peipei smiled and exchanged a few words with everyone, then asked, "What are you talking about? You look so serious, did something happen?"

Old Man He waved at the few people, signaling them to leave first.

Several people bowed to Tang Peipei and left.

Tang Peipei looked at Old Man He in confusion.

Old Man He then said, "It's nothing, it has nothing to do with us." He sighed and said, "In this war, our soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Even if many soldiers saved their lives, they have no hope of survival."

"Mr. He, what do you mean by this?"
