AWB Chapter 137 Parting
Chapter 137 Parting
Regarding Bai Chuxiao's request for a fight, the Crown Prince and the King of Qi showed different expressions on their faces. The Seventh Prince was born in a humble family, and they did not take him seriously at first, but now he has gradually become their formidable enemy. Not only is he good at fighting, but he also has a brave and warlike princess. How can they let this go on...
Chu Tianling glanced at Bai Chuxiao and spoke slowly, "Father, I am willing to go too. Why do I need my sister-in-law to go? If a daughter goes to the battlefield, others will think that we have no one in Daxia."
Bai Chuxiao didn't care. She thought it was abnormal that Chu Tianling didn't target her. "Father, since your majesty has appointed me as a princess, I should serve Daxia. Please allow me to go with the prince."
Emperor Wenxuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He had not called Bai Chuxiao here today to let her go to the battlefield. "Gu Songyue is not easy to deal with. Go, Old Seven. I will give you 150,000 soldiers. Are you sure you can win this battle?"
This war was no small matter. One could lose one's life if one was not careful. He was not at ease leaving it to his other sons, and he had no intention of letting them gain military merit.
Chu Tianze said in a deep voice, "I obey your orders. I will be leaving for war soon. Please allow the princess to return to Yongzhou."
Emperor Wenxuan's eyes flickered slightly, "Alright, this battle will not be over in a short time, Old Seven's wife, you stay in the capital and wait for Old Seven and your grandfather to return victoriously, and come to the palace to talk to me by the way."
Bai Chuxiao lowered her eyes. No wonder she was summoned to the palace. Chu Tianze and the Murong family suddenly controlled so many troops. Emperor Wenxuan was worried and wanted her to stay in the capital as a hostage.
"Yes, Father"
Chu Tianyou and Chu Tianling finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the Seventh Brother and the others had gone to the northwest, they would really not be able to sleep well. Now it seems that the Emperor does not completely trust the Seventh Brother and the others, so they are relieved.
The other people in the palace naturally had no objection. With 500,000 against 600,000, they would not have the confidence. Only the Prince of Yan dared to take this task. With the Princess of Yan staying in the capital, they were not afraid of the Prince of Yan and the Murong family doing something weird...
Emperor Wenxuan spoke again in a deep voice, "In this case, the army will be led by the King of Yan as the commander-in-chief of the war with Xiyue this time, and the Marquis of Xibo will be the deputy commander. Old Seven, set out immediately tomorrow morning."
Chu Tianze concealed his expression and said lightly, "Yes"
The lights in Prince Yan's Mansion were brightly lit. Chu Tianze hugged Bai Chuxiao and whispered, "Xiaoxiao, you must protect yourself when you are alone in the capital."
Bai Chuxiao smiled faintly, "Don't worry, you are fighting outside, His Majesty will not do anything to me, but you must be careful, the battlefield has no eyes, it's a pity that I can't fight side by side with you and grandfather this time."
As a princess, I am not so free in such important matters. There are people watching me no matter what I do. I can no longer just go to the battlefield.
Chu Tianze frowned slightly. He felt more at ease when Xiaoxiao could go to the battlefield with him. How could he feel at ease when she stayed alone in the capital? Who knew if the Crown Prince and the King of Qi would take the opportunity to cause trouble? "I won't bring your second brother Yu Fengyang with me this time. I feel more at ease with them in the capital. If there is anything, you have someone to discuss it with."
Bai Chuxiao raised her eyes and said with a smile, "Take it with you. This time it concerns the Murong family, and my second brother will definitely want to help."
Chu Tianze frowned, "Then let's keep Yu Fengyang. Although he is unreliable most of the time, he can still give some advice on major issues."
This time Bai Chuxiao did not refuse and slowly said, "Okay."
The two of them still felt somewhat uneasy, as if something big was going to happen after this separation.
Chu Tianze stared at her closely and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, your life is the most important thing. You can command the Xuanjia Army at your will."
Bai Chuxiao quickly tapped his lips, then smiled and said, "You too, I'll wait for you to come back."
Chu Tianze's eyes flashed darkly, and he lowered his head to kiss the delicate lips. Since he met this woman, he has had another person to worry about besides his mother... If possible, he did not want to be separated from the woman in front of him, even for just one day...
In the room of Qi Chi Yuan, the gauze curtain was half-closed, and two figures were lingering passionately. They were both a little reluctant to part...
The next morning, Bai Chuxiao was about to wake up. She habitually put her hands aside, but there was no familiar embrace. She could not help but open her eyes suddenly. There was no familiar man beside her. There was no warmth on the other side of the bed. It was obvious that Chu Tianze had been gone for a long time.
Bai Chuxiao sat up, sighed helplessly, and said loudly, "Lanxiang"
Lanxiang pushed the door open and asked, "Why did the princess wake up so early?"
Bai Chuxiao spoke slowly, "When did the prince leave?"
"The prince left at 11:00 a.m. and specifically instructed the servants not to wake up the princess."
Bai Chuxiao nodded slightly, "Well, wash me up."
After breakfast, seeing Bai Chuxiao's absent-minded look, Lan Xiang, Qing Shuang and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
Qingzhu couldn't help but ask, "Princess, are you thinking about the prince?"
Bai Chuxiao was stunned. Maybe, but she couldn't go on like this. The capital city was indeed in danger, and the matter in Yunzhou had not yet come to a conclusion.
Although Chu Tianze took Mo Yan and Mo Wen away, there were still many useful people in the palace. Zhan Chi, Xia Fan and Cui Hao who were outside the city were already waiting in the study.
"Meet the princess!"
Bai Chuxiao nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Is there any news from Lin Huai?"
Xia Fan quickly stepped forward and handed over the note, "Just received"
Bai Chuxiao took it, but her expression became more and more ugly
Cui Hao asked quickly, "Princess, what happened to Yunzhou?"
Bai Chuxiao crumpled the note in her hand and said in a deep voice, "The people who disappeared in the small town of Yunzhou were captured by Prince An to mine iron ore."
Everyone was slightly surprised. The importance of iron ore was self-evident... What was Prince An doing...
Bai Chuxiao ordered again, "Go and call Yu Fengyang over."
But a moment later, Yu Fengyang stepped in gracefully. He wanted to make a few more jokes, but when he saw the faces of the crowd, he swallowed his words back.
Bai Chuxiao didn't waste any words and quickly explained the matter.
Yu Fengyang's expression changed drastically, "Prince An, are you planning to rebel?"
Bai Chuxiao sneered, "What else? He wasted so much energy just to make weapons."
Yu Fengyang slightly sternly asked, "The governor of Yunzhou didn't notice anything?"
Bai Chuxiao took a map and narrowed her eyes. "I'm afraid that Prince An has long been the one who has the final say in Yunzhou. There are more than just the governor of Yunzhou. Come and see the location of that town."
Everyone gathered around and looked in the direction she pointed.
Yu Fengyang was slightly surprised, "It actually borders Yingzhou"
Bai Chuxiao's face was heavy. "Who wouldn't praise Princess Zhaoyang's consort Zhang Jinlun for his talent? The iron mine is so close, do you think Zhang Jinlun knew about it?"
Cui Hao's expression was slightly tense, "Your Majesty is very good to Princess Zhaoyang"
