After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight
Chapter 101 The King Has Not Yet Congratulated Prince Chu
No matter how straightforward Jiang Zhenyao was, she didn't dare to say that His Majesty was incompetent at this moment. There were too many people here, and who knew if anyone would hear it.
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"Your father must have some old subordinates in Xi'an. I want to know which ones your father thinks he can absolutely trust. If you can't tell me, you can go back and ask your father and then tell me."
"Okay, I'll ask for you." Jiang Zhenyao did not ask Chu Xi what he planned to do. Chu Qibai was a smart man. Besides, the battlefield was ever-changing. If she could not go to Xi'an with him, it would be useless to ask.
"Thank you." Chu Xi was surprised by Jiang Zhenyao's trust, and this thank you came from the bottom of his heart.
"No need. If you really want to thank me, just promise me that if anything happens in Xi'an, you will do your best to ensure the safety of the people."
Chu Xi nodded. Jiang Zhenyao was very similar to the one in the original novel. She could be described as a heroic woman.
I hope that in the future we can create a prosperous era where there will no longer be restrictions on women serving as officials or generals, so that women can give full play to their strengths and make great achievements.

At the end of the day, the name Chu Jiang shocked the capital and envoys from various countries.
The next day, His Majesty's birthday banquet was held with singing and dancing, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
Chu Xi entered the palace to attend the banquet. Almost all the members of the Marquis' Mansion entered the palace to attend the banquet today, except for the old Marquis.
The banquet was extremely lively, with representatives from several neighboring countries coming to celebrate his birthday. Emperor Tianwu felt he had achieved unprecedented satisfaction.
He is not very smart to begin with, and now he thinks he has intimidated other countries, which is why people from all directions come to pay him tribute.
Chu Xi kept a low profile throughout the entire banquet. Her official position had been decided yesterday, and even the destination was arranged to be Xi'an as he had expected.
Emperor Tianwu knew that Chu Xi was the only prince of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and knew that she would be sent to such a far place, and only gave her a centurion without even a rank, and specially allowed her to attend the birthday banquet before leaving the capital.
He thought he was giving a reward, but he didn't know that some people didn't like it, such as Chu Xi.
While everyone was walking around, the Eighth Prince suddenly toasted Chu Xi from a distance. This action was very strange and a bit sudden.
The Eighth Prince usually had little contact with Chu Xi. Even though he had always wanted to win over Chu Qibai, he had never really put it on the table. In the final analysis, he still relied on his noble status.
Besides, he had mentioned it before, but the original owner at that time simply ignored him.
Today's toast is a bit strange.
In order to prevent Zhou Hanjin from using despicable means to force her to marry the Ninth Princess, she hardly touched the wine glass at hand all night, let alone left the table.
Even though he was almost bumped into twice and the drink spilled on him.
Chu Xi could also dodge quickly. With her martial arts skills, she didn't need to wait until others bumped into her. She could instantly judge what would happen next based on the trajectory of their movements.
At the palace banquet, getting clothes wet has almost become an inevitable plot. Chu Xi didn't want anyone to take advantage of it, so he cut it off at the source.
After the palace banquet ended, the Eighth Prince walked up to Chu Xi and said, "Father has issued an order for Prince Chu to go to Xi'an to serve as a centurion. I have not yet congratulated Prince Chu."
These words were quite meaningful. The Eighth Prince also specifically pointed out that Chu Xi used to be a centurion and did not even have a rank. This made it embarrassing for her, the prince.
"Your Highness, you are joking. My little matter is not worth mentioning." Chu Xi didn't want to really discuss the matter of the centurion with the Eighth Prince.
"Xi'an is a fortress. Your Majesty arranged for your son to go there because he values your talents. I hope your son will not let your Majesty down." The Eighth Prince is a smiling tiger.
Chu Xi always felt that the Eighth Prince's words, "Don't let his father down", were meaningful and had ulterior motives.
Why would someone who even wanted to push his own sister out to do the deal suddenly come up to congratulate her?
Was it just to mock her secretly? The Eighth Prince was not a fool and would never do anything unnecessary.
She now had a bad premonition. She and Zhou Yichen had kidnapped Feng Cheng long ago, and when they had decided to appoint the eldest prince's men as guards, they found Feng Cheng by the river.
He wasn't dead, just dizzy and had a big bump on his head.
Coincidentally, the new general has been assigned, and Feng Cheng should be on his way back now.
No matter how perfect Zhou Yichen's arrangements were, with the Eighth Prince's vigilance, he would never miss such a coincidence.
Maybe... they acted too early. The Eighth Prince was not a stupid man. Feng Cheng's disappearance was strange, and his discovery was also strange, as if it was arranged.
The Eighth Prince has the Yao family behind him to give him advice, so it is impossible for them not to see that this was done on purpose.
If they really have some purpose, they should either change the plan now and put it away, or... disrupt the plan directly.
No matter what she guessed in her heart, she remained silent in front of Zhou Hanjin.

It was different once you left the palace.
Chu Xi quickly rushed to Prince Yan's Mansion in the dark.
Apart from her and Zhou Yichen, no one knew what they talked about.
The next day, Chu Xi rushed to Xi'an City. She brought several people arranged by Zhou Yichen and Chu Er, and they quickly rushed to the front line.
She left without telling anyone and just said goodbye to her family at the Marquis' Mansion.
As long as she leaves the capital, the center of power, even if the Eighth Prince wants to push the Ninth Princess together with him, what can he do since she is not in the capital?
As soon as Chu Xi left the capital, everyone who should know about it knew it.
There were more than one or two people keeping an eye on Chu Xi. As soon as she left the city, several forces keeping an eye on her noticed it.
As soon as Chu Xi left the city, she guessed that many people would hunt her down. Whether it was the Yao family, the Seventh Prince, or the Eighth Prince, none of them wanted her to live.
She had the documents for taking up the post in her hand. She would have to go to Xi'an to find out whether she would be going to someone else's territory or what kind of task she would be assigned.
It is a thousand miles from the capital to Xi'an. On horseback, you can travel a maximum of two hundred kilometers a day, and it takes five days to travel a thousand miles. This time is not too long, but riding a horse on the official road will definitely lead to an ambush.
Chu Xi did not choose to ride a horse, but took the water route. The water route can go directly to the Yellow River, but it is a bit of a detour and will take at least seven days.
Besides, since those people were going to ambush and kill her, they would definitely make full preparations.
If you don't ride a horse, you can only take the water route, and there will be ambushes on both routes.
Chu Xi only has so few people under his command. If he really encounters an action similar to that of the Nalan killer organization, or if other forces come into play, I'm afraid they will all be killed.
If you don't want to be surrounded on one road, you can only switch between the two roads, and you can choose to take a small road when necessary. There are several roads in each of the three cities you have to pass on the way.
If we really want to set an ambush, even if we have more people, it won't be enough.
