Joy of Life: I dressed as a woman and became the Queen of Northern Qi!

Chapter 24 Arriving at the border town, the queen is a remarkable woman?

After the morning court session, Chen Luo started packing his things as soon as he returned to the Pepper Room. Zhan Doudou watched him silently, his eyes unknowingly turning red.

But she didn't cry, she just raised her head stubbornly to prevent the tears from flowing out.

Chen Luo saw her like this out of the corner of his eye, feeling both helpless and amused. He put down what he was holding and walked up to her and touched her head. Zhan Doudou wanted to dodge at first, but after thinking it over, she gave up the idea.

Feeling the warmth from Chen Luo's palm, all the grievances and worries in her heart burst out in an instant, and she threw herself into Chen Luo's arms and started crying.

"Didn't I tell you? This trip is safe, and I will bring Baihu and Xuanwu with me. Are you worried about having these two ninth-rank masters with you? The palace won't be safe either."

Without the appearance of the Grand Master, the Ninth Rank was already the most powerful person in the world, and he could come and go freely even in the face of thousands of troops.

After hearing Chen Luo's comfort, Zhan Doudou felt better, but she was still worried. That was a battlefield, not a place for fun!
"I asked my junior sister-in-law to go with me. She is a master among the ninth rank and will soon break through to the ninth rank. I feel more at ease with her around."

Haitang Duoduo is a disciple of the national master Ku He. She is extremely talented and many people think it will not be difficult for her to break through to become a grandmaster in the future.

Only with her going with him could Zhan Doudou feel at ease.

Even if the matter is impossible, with Haitang Duoduo by Chen Luo's side, Qingguo would not dare to take action, after all, Ku He is standing behind Haitang Duoduo.

Even though there were two grand masters in charge of Qing Kingdom, they did not dare to provoke Ku He rashly.

Chen Luo also understood what she meant and did not refuse: "Then I will leave Xuanwu behind. With Baihu and Haitang Duoduo, two mid-level ninth-grade cultivators, I think you should be relieved, right?"

Although the difference between the ninth grade middle and the ninth grade lower seems to be only a small realm, in fact, the difference is huge!
A ninth-grade master can beat several lower-grade masters, and there is no pressure at all!

Zhan Doudou also understood this. This time she didn't say anything, but raised her arms and hugged Chen Luo's neck: "Tonight... a sleepless night!"

Chen Luo raised his eyebrows: "Then you won't be able to attend court tomorrow. By the way, I have a few things to tell you..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhan Doudou. Seeing this, Chen Luo said nothing more, picked her up and walked towards the dragon bed.

I don't know when a fine drizzle started falling from the sky. The raindrops hit the eaves, making a crackling sound, and the air was filled with a slightly fishy smell after the rain.

The palace maids and eunuchs on duty looked up at the sky and were very curious about why it was clear and bright one second and then covered with dark clouds the next.

······
On the border of Northern Qi, outside Huwei City.

Uesugi Tora, dressed in military uniform and holding a spear, led the way on horseback. Beside him was Baihu, dressed in a flying fish robe and with an embroidered spring sword on his waist.

The two were silent, the atmosphere was very depressing, and behind them was a heavily guarded carriage.

In the carriage, Haitang Duoduo and Chen Luo sat opposite each other, with a cup of steaming tea on the small table.

"Actually, you don't need to do this. No one will believe Nan Qing's reasons. Even if they do, and they spread rumors about you, you can just..." Haitang Duoduo was silent for a while and suddenly spoke.

It took them more than seven days to walk from Shangjing City to the border. She wanted to ask Chen Luo several times why he made this decision.

But she never asked, mainly because she didn't know what the position was. After all, she and Chen Luo were not familiar with each other.

But now that they were almost entering Huwei City, she finally couldn't help but speak.

Chen Luo did not answer immediately after hearing this. He just put down the teacup, turned around and opened the curtains, revealing the wasteland outside that had been cut down to defend the city: "What did you see?" Haitang Duoduo frowned, looking at these things outside in confusion. She was a master among the ninth rank and could even see the bloodstains remaining on the ground.

But what does this mean? This is a battlefield, and this is the norm!
Without waiting for her to ask, Chen Luo answered on his own: "This is the border, the first line of defense of our Northern Qi, and behind it are thousands of people."

"I don't know what you see from this, but I see the world and what we have to do!"

"Wars will only occur when there is opposition. As long as opposition persists, war will break out sooner or later. If we want the people to truly live and work in peace and contentment, and for the world to truly be peaceful, we must eliminate opposition."

Chen Luo lowered the curtains, picked up his tea again and added: "Whether it is Northern Qi destroying Western Hu and Southern Qing, or one of Southern Qing or Western Hu destroying the other two, it is to eliminate the opposition."

"But we are from Northern Qi. Since we want peace in the world, we can only help Northern Qi destroy the other two forces. It is a necessity, not a need."

The three major forces are competing for the world, and in the end, only the people will be hurt. Although he does not think he is a good person, he is not a bad person either.

If he doesn't have the ability, he may not care, but if he has the ability and he still doesn't care, then there is something wrong with his character.

What's more, he and Zhan Doudou are husband and wife, and she is the queen of Northern Qi. Who else can he help if not Northern Qi?

Nanqing? Or the still ununited Western Hu?
After hearing her words, Haitang Duoduo was unusually silent. The carriage suddenly fell into silence. No one spoke until the carriage stopped.

"Your Majesty, Saint, we have arrived at the villa in Huwei City." Baihu bowed to the carriage and said.

Chen Luo lifted the curtain, checked the people around him, and asked with a frown, "Villa? Where is General Uesugi Tiger?"

He did not forget the purpose of coming here. First, he wanted to find a way to repel Nanqing's attack and see if there was any chance to counterattack.

The second is to subdue Uesugi Tora, otherwise leaving such a person on the border will sooner or later cause big problems.

"General Uesugi Tora has gone to the military camp to discuss matters," Baihu replied respectfully.

Hearing this, Chen Luo lowered the curtain directly, and then a faint voice came from the carriage: "Then let's go to the military camp too!"

Baihu did not hesitate and immediately jumped onto the carriage, acting as the driver and driving towards the military camp. The other guards immediately followed.

The location of the military camp was not secret, and there were secret agents of the Imperial Guards here, so they had already checked it out before coming.

So it didn't take long for the carriage to arrive at the military camp. Relying on the identity of the Jinyiwei, the guards did not dare to stop it and let it pass.

By now the notoriety of the Embroidered Uniform Guard had spread throughout Northern Qi. As soon as they were reinstated, they arrested nearly one-fifth of the ministers in the court, and opened an imperial prison specifically for extracting confessions. Various severe tortures were used inside, and the desperate screams could be heard even if no one passed by.

Military camp tent.

All the generals were ecstatic about Uesugi Tora's arrival. They all put aside the gloom of their previous defeat and surrounded Uesugi Tora, asking him all kinds of questions.

Uesugi Tora answered all their questions and was filled with joy.

"General, I heard that the queen sent by Master Ku He is a remarkable woman. Not only is she extremely beautiful, she is also quite courageous. She even said that the whole world belongs to the king and all the people in the world are his subjects. I wonder if this is true or not?"
