Quick Travel: Passing Through the Bloody World

As Yang Wen was advancing his plan to arrest military generals who abused their power for personal gain, news came that Bianliang City had fallen. Alu, the second prince of the Nanman tribe, led his troops straight into the city, forcing their way towards the Wei border.

When the two armies were fighting, General Li Guiyi, the national defender, led the Li family army to the front line. However, they learned that the food and fodder had been replaced with inferior old rice, and the military salt in the army was far from enough.

At this time, the second prince Alu captured Li Guiyi on the battlefield. The morale of the Wei army, which was short of food and had lost important generals, plummeted instantly. It suffered several consecutive defeats and compressed the front line back ten kilometers in just over a month.

In the main hall, Xuanyuan Mingyuan listened to the military report with a gloomy expression.

There was silence in the court, and both civil officials and military officers fell into a strange silence.

The Wei Dynasty had been prosperous for a long time, and both civil officials and military generals had long been accustomed to the days of "lusting after eating and drinking".

Now that the enemy is approaching, the Wei rulers have suddenly realized that the Wei state's culture of valuing civil officials over military officials has become so serious that after Yang Wen arrested the military generals who were colluding with the enemy, no one except Li Guiyi can take on the responsibility of leading the army.

Ji Feiyue stepped forward, clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to war for the country. I beg Your Majesty to grant me permission!"

"No!" Xuanyuan Mingyuan said urgently.

Then he cleared his throat and said sternly: "My dear Ji, as a civil servant, you cannot do this. I will look for someone else."

Ji Feiyue frowned: "Your Majesty, the war is tense, and there is a lack of military commanders in the court. It is difficult to find someone who can take on important tasks. I am the most suitable candidate to sit on the front line."

Of course, he was not saying this to show off. Although he was just a civil servant, when it came to strategies and tactics, few in the court could compare to him.

The State of Wei valued civil officials over military officials, and Yang Wen had just arrested a large number of military generals. It would be extremely difficult to find a suitable candidate in a short period of time.

Xuanyuan Mingyuan obviously understood the reason, but in his heart he did not dare to let Ji Feiyue go to the front line.

No matter how smart Ji Feiyue is, swords and knives are merciless on the battlefield. He is just a civil official who doesn't know martial arts. The journey is long and the bumpy ride alone will make his body unable to bear it.

Xuanyuan Mingyuan clenched his hands under his wide sleeves into fists, and then a determined light flashed in his eyes: "I want to lead the army in person."

"His Majesty!"

Ji Feiyue was horrified and raised his voice.

"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be taken lightly. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the court is still in need of your presence to deal with trivial matters."

Xue Shenyi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up. He smiled and said, "I am willing to serve your majesty at the cost of my life and go to the border."

Xuanyuan Mingyuan's face paused, and he said in silence: "Palm seal..."

Xue Shenyi seemed to have seen through his thoughts, but Xue Shenyi just smiled and shook his head, stopping Xuanyuan Mingyuan from talking.

There has never been a case in all dynasties where a eunuch was appointed as the commander-in-chief to lead an army to war. In the eyes of the royal family and even the people of the world, the eunuchs in power would disrupt state affairs.

Xuanyuan Mingyuan could think of only him as the most suitable candidate, but he was hesitant to say it out loud.

Now that Xue Shenyi had volunteered to go to the border, Xuanyuan Mingyuan felt a little sad.

The Great Wei is ashamed of Xue Shenyi.

"Your Majesty, I am the best candidate."

"..."

Xuanyuan Mingyuan's eyes were red behind his crown and he said with a choked voice: "Pass on my oral order to appoint Xue Shenyi as the Marshal of the Cavalry and lead 30,000 troops to the front line for support."

Xue Shenyi raised his hand to lift up his skirt, knelt on one knee, lowered his eyes and bowed, saying: "Your Majesty, I obey your command."

...

At night, a figure nimbly climbed into the Qianqing Palace.

Xue Shenyi stood in front of the bed, his hands on the bed curtain, without moving.

"Why aren't you moving?"

A warm embrace pressed against Xue Shenyi's back, and before Xue Shenyi could react, he felt hot, soft lips kissing his neck.

Then the hand around his waist flexibly reached into his collar. Xue Shenyi's body trembled slightly and he grabbed Pei Yu's wrist: "Wait..."

"No."

Pei Yu's voice sounded dully, and Xue Shenyi felt a huge force pressing him down on the bed.

The kiss did not give him any chance to refuse. It was eager and violent, venting Pei Yu's emotions.

That was Pei Yu that Xue Shenyi had never seen before. It was as if he wanted to drown him in the bed, depriving him of all the ability to think. He just used this simple way to let Xue Shenyi feel and remember his love.
