Zong Ze looked up at Su Changan, a little speechless, as if he had seen the late queen that year, so he said for no reason: "I have survived at the frontier, thank you for your concern."
After saying this, Zong Ze immediately looked enlightened.
Acharya had a strange expression on his face, and then looked at Baoxian, because he seemed familiar to her.
Baoxian already laughed out loud.
Such a sentence made Su Changan a little at a loss, and he hurriedly explained: "Brother, you misunderstood, I didn't think about you."
Acharya continued to look at Baoxian.
Because apart from the title, these words are exactly the same as what the late Queen said back then!
……
PS: This month's updates are completely terrible. I will resume updates as normal next month. I am lazy and will not make excuses for myself. I will resume updates as before next month.
Chapter 700 Two Things, Three Kingdoms, Three Kings
Zong Ze is still the same Zong Ze.
Zhu Huang was still the same Zhu Huang. He came to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, kowtowed, and then shouted that he wanted to kill people.
When Zong Ze had only a few thousand men under his command, he would be extremely nervous when he saw people close to him. Now that he has hundreds of thousands of border troops under his command, he is still the same.
This is actually quite comforting.
Because there is no change.
But still funny!
Achari was a serious person, but he couldn't help but explain the matter to Yan Ruyu and Shentu Sheyue.
After Bao Xian explained to Su Changan, he immediately patted his butt and ran off to announce it.
The one with the biggest mouth among the Thirteen Guards is Bao Xian.
There is actually some truth in this.
Su Changan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he also breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that this brother that Xia Fengxiang was thinking about was deliberately testing him, or there was something else going on.
Although Su Changan was accustomed to these sweet words and treacherous remarks, if this Grand Marshal Zong Ze did this, it would be more troublesome than the southern aristocratic families and these powerful officials.
And at that moment, Su Changan was thinking about whether he should just kill him now.
After learning the reason, Su Changan felt helpless, but he also thought he had gotten used to it. After all, it seemed that no one who had anything to do with the Xia family was normal.
The main thing is that this person is fine in front of hundreds of thousands of people, but gets nervous in front of me. What's wrong with him?
Zong Ze was very embarrassed, but when he saw the extremely beautiful queen reaching out to help him get the snacks, Zong Ze lowered his head and held the snacks in his hands, too embarrassed to look up at her.
The late Queen Mother met him once and talked to him about it once. Although she was mostly joking afterwards, he still remembers it vividly.
Although I am no longer young, I can face it in my heart.
Can.
It's still a bit embarrassing.
But he was calm and steady after all, so he raised his eyes and clasped his fists, then looked at Su Changan and said, "My queen, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to say."
When he said this, Zong Ze saw the Queen looking at him curiously.
Suddenly his expression froze, and he immediately lowered his head: "I just want to say that I am still alive and can still lead the troops."
When Su Changan heard this, he hesitated to speak.
This brother is such a bummer that I don’t know what to complain about him.
Make sense.
If any other border general who commands a large army says this, the underlying meaning is: I'm still alive, I have plenty of soldiers under my command, and you still want me to explain to you?
Zong Ze also realized that what he said was wrong.
His brows were furrowed.
But when he looked up and wanted to explain again, he saw the Queen looking at him helplessly.
Su Changan said, "Why are you nervous when you see me? I'm so good-looking and not fierce. Shouldn't I be nervous when I see His Majesty?"
Huh?
Hearing this, especially seeing the helplessness on the face of the Queen in front of him, Zong Ze was stunned.
Exactly the same.
The late Queen Mother asked him the same question back then, and even the words she said were exactly the same.
So for no reason, the former queen in Zong Ze's memory overlapped with the queen in front of him.
Zong Ze didn't have time to answer that year.
He thought he would answer it when he came back, but when he returned to the capital again, he knelt on the ground and paid homage to the tablet of the late queen.
Now that this is the case, Zong Ze is about to speak.
Su Changan smiled and said, "His Majesty has come out."
When Zong Ze heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked towards the entrance of Lingqi Pavilion.
Then I saw Xia Fengxiang in red standing at the door.
His expression was startled. He hadn't seen her for several years and she had changed so much.
Su Changan smiled and said, "Let's go find His Majesty first. She knows you've been talking about it since yesterday since you came back today. But you don't have to be so formal with me, just treat me like Brother Zhu Huang. We're all family now."
As he spoke, Su Changan pulled Zong Ze and walked towards Xia Fengxiang.
Zong Ze looked at Su Changan, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
This scene also happened that year.
However, Zong Ze smiled inexplicably, and suddenly he understood why Zhu Huang repeatedly emphasized in the letter that she was exactly the same as the late queen.
When he arrived in front of Xia Fengxiang.
Zong Ze said nothing, and immediately clasped his fists and saluted towards Xia Fengxiang: "Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, Zong Ze, pay my respects to you!"
When he left a few years ago, he called him "Your Highness", and before leaving, the little girl stood there and waved goodbye to him with a smile.
When we met again, you were already His Majesty, and what you did was even better than that of the previous emperor!
Zong Ze knelt down directly.
A minister who is called a criminal is actually innocent, but he feels guilty.
He had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, but he was unable to protect a little girl who had called him brother since childhood. Even though the late emperor had sent a secret letter prohibiting him from entering the capital, shame was a crime.
In the past, Li Nishang and the Eighth Prince had actually been constantly sending people to join his army in the northern border camp. When the number of people was the largest, Li Nishang even sent more than a dozen people to serve in the military, and even stamped the Ministry of War. The same was true for the Eighth Prince, with about twenty people.
Then on the second day after these people arrived, no matter how noble their identities were, or whether they were male or female, old or young, all their bodies were hung at the gate of the Northern Border Camp, convicted of treason.
The person who was convicted of the crime was also the one he ordered to be killed.
Zong Ze didn't give anyone an explanation.
And no one in the court dared to discuss this matter.
After that, Li Nishang and the Eighth Prince dared not to go beyond the line again.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Zong Ze and scolded, "Why are you starting to imitate Brother Zhu Huang's tricks?"
Zong Ze lowered his head, "I can't learn from him, and my crime is different from his."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan helplessly. Su Changan stood there and smiled.
Xia Fengxiang lowered his head and looked at Zong Ze: "We will talk about whether you are guilty or not later. Even if you are guilty, we will have to discuss and convict you later. But now, how long do you want to kneel?"
Upon hearing this, Zong Ze immediately stood up respectfully.
But as soon as he stood up, he took out two letters from his arms.
One is one, two is two.
Some things cannot be rushed, because when the time comes, you have to rush.
Xia Fengxiang saw the two letters and knew what they were. He took them and asked, "Did you get them?"
One question is actually asking three things.
Zong Ze nodded: "Got it."
Xia Fengxiang opened the first letter, which was written by Du Yu himself, and it began with the words "The guilty minister Du Yu."
……
Goguryeo, Maru Mountain City
The majestic capital city is not as big as Luoan, but it is also a prominent place and the capital of a country.
Just now
The densely packed army, one phalanx after another, completely surrounded this majestic city, especially the huge cannons, whose black muzzles were all aimed at the city walls.
Du Yu and other generals under Meng Qin led their respective generals to garrison around the Marudu Mountain City, making it impossible for any enemy to get in or out.
And now.
All the generals looked in one direction.
Every general was eager to try, with a look of anticipation and excitement on his face.
Destroying the mountain city of Marundu, capturing the King of Goguryeo alive, and destroying the generals of other countries, all the generals in the world hoped for this.
Especially to destroy Goguryeo, a country that was plagued by the psoriasis of the Great Xia Dynasty!
The top of Yushan Mountain, directly opposite Marudu Mountain City, is where the main force of Daxia is stationed.
They were all waiting for Marshal Du Yu's order for the decisive battle.
Just wave the flag and thousands of cannons will fire!
