She still remembered that Uncle Feng Ran once said that the fire in Taohua Village was discovered accidentally during the patrol of the Northern Frontier Cavalry.

I think that just like Wei Ji, Lieutenant General Chen concealed part of the truth in accordance with the old emperor's order.

Therefore, Uncle Feng Ran, who had long been aware of Deputy General Chen's identity, sent Deputy General Chen to protect her at all costs during the chaos when the war was about to break out.

Before he knew it, the guard came to report that Governor Dou wanted to see him.

A Bao invited people to the inner hall of the tent, but was surprised that Governor Dou came to persuade her to think twice.

"Your Highness, this battle cannot continue."

"Then, according to what Governor Dou said, what is the best way?" A Bao glanced at the square box on the table, which contained broken lenses.

"If we force the beasts into a desperate situation, they will inevitably launch a desperate counterattack." Governor Dou said worriedly, "Your Highness, I have something to say. The sixteen tribes of the barbarians have been caught off guard. Your Highness should send envoys to negotiate peace."

"Peace talks?" Po pretended to be curious.

Governor Dou explained, "Your Highness, if we really fight the sixteen tribes of the barbarians to the end, not only will there be countless casualties, but even if we win by chance, the barbarians are cruel and may resort to unorthodox methods. By then, the people of the Northern Frontier will be defenseless."

"Resolving the barbarian threat through peace talks will also help Your Highness avoid being labeled as a warmongerer."

Hearing this, Abao chuckled coldly.

She was more than just bellicosity. What she was planning to do in the future would probably bring her even more infamy.

However, she did not doubt Governor Dou's true intentions.

Governor Dou said this out of concern for the people of Northern Frontier.

She really needs to consider what she should do if the ambush on Eternal Night City happens again.

However, now is the best time to inflict severe damage on the barbarians and make them unable to recover.

After a pause, A Bao said in a deep voice: "Back then, the young King Wule massacred the entire Qi City, and the old King Qin was killed on the way to retreat from the enemy; the people in the border cities died in vain due to the frequent invasions of the barbarians; Yaoyue Town, 261 people; could it be that the barbarians were playing a joke on the people of Daqi?"

"In this battle, the barbarians must either learn the lesson and surrender, or we must destroy them completely."

Before he finished speaking, the black-robed King came in, first stuffed the hand warmer into A Bao's arms, then looked coldly at Governor Dou.

"Governor Dou, have you ever seen weeds?"

"Burn all the weeds all over the mountain with a fire. Then send someone to keep an eye on them. Even if some of them occasionally revive, they won't be a big deal."

Hearing this, Governor Dou looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess for help, but found that Her Royal Highness the Princess was as still as a mountain.

"What King Feng Ran said is what I said."

The war has already begun, and the most taboo thing is to have two people give orders.

Suddenly, Yan Haixi also came in, his face as gloomy as ice: "Mrs. Shi is here."

A Bao suddenly stood up and hurried out, just in time to see Mrs. Shi entering Meng Guanjing's tent with a pale face.

A Bao paused at the door and asked Yan Haixi who was following closely behind him: "Have the chains been removed?"

"After using your blood, his mania has calmed down." Yan Haixi said in a deep voice: "Based on what I saw in the past two days, he is no longer a threat to Madam Shi. But just in case, the shackles around his waist are still kept... covered with a thick blanket."

Hearing this, Abao was stunned.

Not having to endure the bone-eating pain means that Meng Guanjing is no longer here.

After a long silence, A Bao asked, "Governor Liang, haven't you arrived yet?" She brought Meng Guanjing back two days ago and sent a pigeon back to Jiangnan, asking Liang Qingyu to come here as soon as possible to see him... This was the last time she saw Zejing.

At the same time, Mrs. Shi, who had already learned the truth from her brother, looked carefully at the young man leaning on the bed with tears in her eyes.

The journey was not as miserable as she had imagined.

The young man was dressed neatly and had a peaceful look. When he saw her, he even smiled softly, "Mother."

Trying hard to hold back her tears, Mrs. Shi took out the golden locket of longevity and wanted to put it on the young man, but her hands were shaking and she couldn't hold it steadily, so he dropped it to the ground.

After a long silence, the young man saw Mrs. Shi bend down to pick up the golden locket of longevity and put it on him.

He recalled that when he was young, it was this lady who showed him a bit of kindness, and even made him wish that this gentle lady was his mother.

Madam Shi sobbed softly, full of regret: "Ze Jing, in the next life, let's be mother and son again. I will protect you well."

Shi Zejing raised his hand with difficulty, wiped away Madam Shi's tears, and comforted her: "If there is a next life, mother, please don't meet that scum King Xuan again. You will have a husband who treats you sincerely and a group of sensible and intelligent children again."

Hearing this, Abao, who was outside the tent, felt extremely cold in a trance.

After a while, Madam Shi lifted the curtain with red eyes and walked out of the tent, "Your Highness, Ze Jing wants to see you."

When A Bao saw Shi Zejing again, he raised his hand and cut his palm to get blood. The young man on the bed saw this and smiled miserably.

"How did your majesty know it was me?"

"I'm not familiar with Shi Zejing." A Bao felt dizzy from having his blood drawn frequently.

But Liang Qingyu hasn't arrived yet.

But Meng Guanjing raised his hand to stop her from making the second cut. "Even with three meals of blood a day, this skin can only keep me alive until today. Your Majesty, please use it sparingly. I won't be in pain for much longer anyway. When Governor Liang arrives, I will use this method to return this skin to her."

In this world, he has to share even this body with Shi Zejing.

There was never anything that belonged to him alone.

Now this lonely soul is also going to dissipate. It's really hard to accept this.

Meng Guanjing burst into tears, but smiled and asked, "Back then, was the water-controlling beast given by His Majesty for me or for Shi Zejing?"

A Bao was uncomfortable with the question, "The champion I was looking for at first was not someone else, but Meng Guanjing."

"In that case, Your Majesty, can you help me build another tomb? Not for Shi Zejing, but for Meng Guanjing." Meng Guanjing's smile deepened.

And Po smiled sadly: "Okay."
