Chapter 668: Going to Lingdong
It was two days later when the battle report from Shang Jiao and General Qin was delivered to the capital.
At the morning court, the emperor and his ministers were discussing state affairs when the war report was delivered.
"Report... urgent, eight hundred miles to Lingdong!"
"Quick, present it to me!" The emperor looked at Eunuch De impatiently.
We lost the battle last time, and I don’t know whether we will win or lose this time.
"Yes!" Eunuch De took the battle report and read it out in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty, I am reporting to you that our army fought with 300,000 soldiers of the Wolf Warriors at 3:00 pm yesterday. Without any casualties among our army, we wiped out General Wu Ye and more than 21,000 Wolf Warriors!"
"Mr. Duo?" The emperor's voice changed.
I thought I had heard it wrong. They only had 200,000 people, but the War Wolf Army had 300,000.
With such a huge difference in numbers, how could we possibly annihilate more than 20,000 of them?
Even everyone was thinking so at this moment, and they were all staring at Eunuch De.
"..."
Did he read it wrong?
It was not that they annihilated more than 20,000 enemies, but that they suffered more than 20,000 casualties. After all, the number of people compared to their enemy was too far away.
Moreover, the Wolf Warriors have always been brave and good at fighting. From any perspective, it is impossible for them to annihilate so many enemies.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Eunuch De grinned.
"Your Majesty, we have indeed annihilated more than 20,000 enemy troops, and there are more below!"
Look how excited the emperor is! He hasn't even finished reading it yet.
"Oh, then you continue." The emperor nodded excitedly.
I was so scared that I had to read the battle report myself, as it always felt unreal.
"Yes, the reason why we were able to win this battle is all due to the efforts of the little princess and the little prince. The little prince is wise and courageous, and the little princess is a master of art. If it weren't for them, our army would have suffered heavy casualties this time..."
The emperor basically couldn't hear what was said afterwards and only felt his head buzzing.
It took me a long while to come back to my senses.
"Who are the little princess and little prince that General Qin mentioned?" He stared straight at Eunuch De.
It must not be what he thought. He must be overthinking it.
“Uh…this…” Eunuch De choked.
He was a little confused at this moment. Wasn't it talking about the emperor's eldest grandson and the little princess?
But weren't they at Puhua Temple? Why did they go to Lingdong?
Everyone looked stunned and thought the same thing in their hearts.
"..."
Didn't the young prince and his friends go to Puhua Temple to pray? How could they go to Lingdong?
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Eunuch De looked carefully again and found that there was a letter underneath.
Looking at the signature above, his eyes widened.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter from the little prince!"
He recognized the young prince's handwriting, so the letter must have been written by him.
"Oh, bring it to me." The emperor came back to his senses.
I quickly took the letter in my hand, unfolded it, and after reading the contents inside, my head was buzzing.
I can't even see things clearly.
"Your Majesty, was that letter really written by the young prince?" Shen Ze asked impatiently.
My heart was in my throat. How could my grandson and granddaughter have run to such a far place?
"That's right, Jiao'er and Rou'er are now in Lingdong." The emperor nodded with difficulty.
I thought my grandson and granddaughter were at Puhua Temple, but I didn’t expect them to go to Lingdong.
When I thought about the danger there now, my heart rose to my throat.
"Your Majesty, the little prince and princess are still young. We need to get them back quickly to avoid any danger."
Shen Ze was extremely anxious. These two kids were really something. How could they go to such a dangerous place?
We have to get them back quickly to avoid any mishaps.
As soon as he finished speaking, others followed suit.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Shen is right. The little princess and the little prince are still young. We need to let them come back as soon as possible."
"That's right, we need to get the little prince and the others back quickly, Lingdong is too dangerous!"
Everyone came forward and echoed.
“……”The emperor didn’t say anything.
He took another look at the letter in his hand, and looked at the bloody handprint on it. He hesitated for a moment, then raised his head with difficulty.
“Now the soldiers are fighting bravely in the front, Jiao’er and Rou’er, as descendants of the royal family, should take the safety of the country as their own responsibility.
You have just heard that they made great contributions in this battle, which is enough to show that Jiao'er and Rou'er are capable of taking on big responsibilities.
Then let them stay there and help General Qin." The emperor tried his best to control the expression on his face.
But his heart was bleeding. His two precious sweethearts had gone to such a dangerous place. He was really worried to death.
But the letter from Guaisun was so resolute. If we force them to come back, given his stubborn temper.
They will definitely sneak over again, so it’s better to agree to let them stay there.
After all, Lieutenant General Zhang and General Qin are all here. If there is any danger, I think they will do their best to protect them.
Besides, it would be beneficial for them to stay. If they win this battle, Guaisun and his men will surely become famous throughout the world.
It will not only deter neighboring countries, but also boost the morale of the soldiers, and will be extremely beneficial for my grandson to manage the government in the future.
"Your Majesty, even though the little prince and the little princess are very intelligent, they are still young and it is really not suitable for them to stay in such a dangerous place."
Shen Ze was really anxious.
I also know what the emperor is thinking, but his grandchildren are still young, and it is so dangerous there, so it is better to let them come back quickly.
“Minister Shen should also know Jiao’er’s temper. Since they have made up their minds, let them stay there.
As a descendant of the Shang Dynasty, it is time for me to do my part." The emperor tried his best to control his emotions.
He also wanted his good grandchildren to come back, but since this was written in blood, he definitely couldn't listen to it.
"Your Majesty..." Shen Ze wanted to say something else, but was stopped by the emperor waving his hand.
"Okay, there's no need to say more about this matter. Let's stop here today."
When he stood up, he found that his legs were not working well, so he winked at Eunuch De.
Then she helped him back to the harem. Once he entered the imperial study, he could no longer pretend and fell backwards.
"Your Majesty!" Eunuch De hurriedly supported him.
"I'm fine." The emperor sat on the dragon throne.
When I thought about my grandson and granddaughter going to such a dangerous place, my eyes became red.
No wonder they went to Puhua Temple to pray for blessings, it turned out they had already made plans.
"The Queen and the Crown Princess must not know about this."
I can't even bear it myself. If the Queen and the Crown Princess knew about it, I don't know how worried they would be.
"Yes." Eunuch De nodded.
Before he could say anything, the voice of the young eunuch was heard outside.
"Meet the Queen."
"……"emperor.
“……”Eunuch De.
Both of them were stunned. What they feared really came true. They quickly adjusted their mood.
When the queen came in, she saw the emperor sitting upright on the dragon throne with red eyes.
"Your Majesty, what's going on?"
Why does it feel like the emperor is crying?
"Oh, my eyes were blurry just now." The emperor wiped his eyes pretendingly and looked up at the queen.
"What's the matter, Queen?"
"Oh, I came here to ask about Jiao'er and Rou'er."
"……"emperor.
I am really afraid of what will happen!
