Chapter 842 If not the princess, who else could it be?
It has been half a month since Baili Moqing left Beijing. What happened in Kyoto has not yet reached the border, but the news is on the way.
The Qingzhu Kingdom's army retreated completely, and Sufeng City returned to peace again.
When the people really saw the Qingzhu army fleeing in panic, deafening cheers rang out throughout the city.
"Mars!"
"Mars!!"
……
The cheers of the people reached the city walls, and the soldiers also cheered.
Baili Moqing came down from the city wall. Although he didn't look very happy, one could still tell from his gentle expression that he was in a good mood.
Nangong Zhen walked beside him and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, was this black gunpowder really made by the princess?"
Baili Moqing was stunned for a moment. He felt a little guilty if he said "yes", but he felt sorry for Shu He's intelligence if he said "no".
Finally, he said, "Half and half."
Half of it is Zhuang Ye’s credit, and the other half, of course, is Shu He’s credit!
Besides, Ah He said that she could also make black powder, but she felt that this thing should not appear in this "primitive society", so she had never made it.
Nangong Zhen still didn't quite believe it, "Your Majesty, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
Baili Moqing stopped and asked, "Uncle, do you look down on Ah He, or do you not trust me?"
"I……"
How could he not trust him? It was just that it was unbelievable that such a magical thing was made by a little girl.
"Uncle, do you think anyone in this world can create something like this?"
Nangong Zhen said: "Tianji Pavilion?"
Baili Moqing shook his head. Tianji Pavilion only made mechanical weapons. They couldn’t think of or make such a thing!
Nangong Zhen thought seriously, "It seems that no one else can do it except Tianji Pavilion!"
Baili Moqing raised his eyes slightly and continued walking, "Since it's not Tianji Pavilion, why can't it be Ah He?"
--------
Having just returned to the military tent, Baili Moqing looked at the map of the five countries, thinking that it would take several days for the other countries to completely withdraw from the border of Apocalypse.
It should be quick to get the map. After all, the small place of Southern Xinjiang will withdraw immediately once they learn about the battle situation here.
They were the weakest to begin with, and they joined the Four-Nation Alliance only because they were coerced by the other three countries.
Qingzhu personally felt the power of black gunpowder. Although the loss was not great, he was frightened. If nothing unexpected happens, he will retreat overnight. Perhaps in two days, the letter of peace talks will be sent from Qingzhu to Tianqi Kyoto.
As for Yunlai, Beiji should have arrived with his supplies. Let's give Yunlai a taste of their power over the next two days. I'm not afraid they won't retreat.
The Four-Nation Alliance was reduced to only one in the blink of an eye.
Northern Di!
These days, the Northern Di court is in chaos; some officials are belligerent, while others are war-mongering, and the two sides are at loggerheads. If it weren't for the mediation of King Ming, the Northern Di court would have been wiped out by the new emperor long ago.
At this moment, a person walked in from outside the big tent, disrupting his thoughts. He frowned and looked over, about to get angry, but when he saw who it was, the knot between his brows instantly cleared up.
"How did you come?!"
There was uncontrollable surprise in his voice, and he walked over quickly.
The calm and steady "Prince Li" just now seemed to have run away from home in an instant.
"Why? It seems like you don't want me to come?" She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and her eyes still contained a bit of longing that had not been seen for a long time.
"How could this be?!" He hugged her in his arms, feeling the warmth that he hadn't felt for a long time, which softened his hard heart.
The curtain of the tent was opened, and this hug made all the peeping soldiers smile.
"Everyone outside is watching, Your Majesty, please be careful of the impact!"
Baili Moqing was startled. He looked up and saw many heads sticking their heads into the tent.
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he gently waved his slender hand and lowered the tent curtain.
"Now, you don't have to worry about the consequences, right?"
After saying that, he bent down to kiss her.
I haven’t seen you for half a month, it feels like a long time has passed!
Shu He glared at him coquettishly, "You hooligan!"
She pushed him away and sat on his desk. Looking at the empty teacup, she whispered, "I'm thirsty. Have a cup of tea!"
Baili Moqing frowned, his eyes showing both helplessness and doting. He raised the corners of his mouth and pulled up the door curtain again, "Send a pot of hot water."
Some people looked through the big tent and saw the woman sitting in the prince's seat, and their eyes widened.
"Could this be the Princess of Li?" How dare she sit on the prince's seat? How bold!
"Do we even need to guess? The prince has already embraced her, who else could it be but the princess?"
"Look, the prince is making tea for the princess!!" Who else but the princess would dare to ask the prince to make tea?
"The prince never lets anyone touch his desk. Even the princess is rummaging through it, but the prince doesn't seem angry at all!"
"Everyone says the prince dotes on his princess, but I never thought he would dote on her to this extent!!"
"That's just the beginning! You don't know, right? In the battle with Qingzhu this morning, that firearm that blew people up everywhere was said to have been created by the princess!" Such a powerful woman, surely the prince must hold her in high esteem!
"What? Is this true? A woman can create such a powerful weapon?"
Isn’t this too unbelievable?
"Of course it's true! I heard General Nangong and Marshal Nangong say this myself! The prince also admitted it!"
He was standing on the city wall next to the marshal in the morning, and his ears were very sensitive!
We were chatting animatedly and didn't notice that someone was standing behind us.
"What did you say?"
Everyone turned around, their faces pale, "General Nangong?!!"
Nangong Ze glared at those people, "What are you doing?!"
Everyone was shocked and scattered, only the guards remained standing.
At this moment, he was extremely proud.
Nangong Ze glanced at the big tent, then walked towards the general's tent.
When the princess comes, their whole family must come to pay their respects.
In the big tent, Baili Moqing no longer hid anything, but openly made tea for Shu He, handed it to her, and looked at her tenderly.
Shu He drank two cups in a row before the dryness in his throat was dispelled.
She rode as fast as she could, and she didn't know how many horses died on the way, but she finally got here in the shortest time possible.
Seeing his silly look, she was speechless. Why did he act like he had never seen her before?
"Have you received any news about what happened in Kyoto?"
Baili Moqing shook his head, he hadn't received the message yet.
"Then why don't you ask me?"
He smiled dotingly, not in a hurry at all, "Wait until you have a rest, then we'll talk."
Anyway, it won’t take a while.
Shu He: “……!”
She glanced outside, lowered her voice, and said, "The edict of repentance has come down."
