After traveling through time, I became a thorn in the eyes of the sickly prince

A hundred thousand soldiers and horses marched in a mighty force, stopping and starting, and it was more than a month later when they arrived at Changzhou.

It is chilly in spring, and the snow all over the mountains has melted away, leaving only the occasional white spot on the distant mountains. The earth is reviving.

Finally we arrived at Shilipo and saw from afar General Sun Chongwei's barracks surrounding Hangu Pass in the east and west directions.

Murong Yue ordered the camp to be set up on the spot, and he looked towards the north with a telescope. That was the direction of Hangu Pass, and the city was filled with dense enemy camps, including those of Huainan, Tianqi, and Guyuan. He could even see enemy troops fleeing from other places. They relied on this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack pass to forcibly divide the territory of Daxia into two halves.

An Muxi jumped off the carriage and felt much heavier. After more than a month of bumpy ride, he actually gained a lot of weight. It was really strange. He picked up the telescope and searched around for Long Jingmo's military camp. After searching for a long time, he didn't see the big flag with the word "dragon".

He walked quickly towards Murong Yue, "Your Majesty, where is Brother Long's barracks?"

Murong Yue raised her hand and pointed to the Camel Ridge in the south. "He is stationed at the Camel Ridge in the south. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, cutting off the enemy's support from the south."

"Well, Brother Long has made such a great contribution, the court must not forget it. I wonder how Kyoto is doing, and how are my father and the others!" Mu Xi said with a worried tone, picking up the telescope and searching again. This time, he saw many gray tents on Camel Ridge Mountain, and countless smoke from cooking. It seemed that Brother Long had started cooking.

"The capital city has been occupied by the Chiyan Nation, and a large amount of supplies are transported to Shaoguan and Hanguguan every day!"

"Hmph, they are eating Da Xia's food and smashing Da Xia's pot!" An Muxi gritted his teeth angrily. He estimated that all his shops in Kyoto had been snatched away. Fortunately, he found some balance from Yuanlong Kingdom.

Suddenly thinking of something, he looked at Murong Yue, "Your Majesty, the Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the Grand Empress Dowager must also be imprisoned in Hangu Pass?"

"Yes! The situation has been deadlocked for more than two months. Their retreat was blocked by General Chu Ping. Otherwise, all the treasures in Kyoto would have been transported away long ago."

"The Chu family really has some talented generals, no wonder they are so arrogant!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds. When he saw the person on the horse, An Muxi's eyes sparkled and he ran over immediately.

"Brother Long, Xier was just talking about you!" He looked at the two people behind him and they were familiar faces. They were Qin Huaiyi and Lin Shichang who had been in prison with him.

Long Jingmo looked at Mu Xi gently, jumped off his horse, and bowed.

"Prince, Princess!!!"

"Brother Long, get up quickly."

Mu Xi looked at Long Jingmo and found that he had lost a lot of weight. She remembered that this man would not salute the prince before and his attitude was very arrogant. It seems that he knew the future direction of the prince and turned to be a bootlicker.

Murong Yue put away the map in her hand and said, "Get up, why are you here? Aren't you guarding Camel Ridge???"

Long Jingmo stood up and said solemnly, "Your Highness, the Emperor promised to restore the status of the Pingnan Army after repelling the foreign invasion. But since the fall of Kyoto and the capture of the Emperor, Prime Minister Chu has been suppressing the Pingnan Army everywhere, even refusing to give us food and grass. The Pingnan Army has already fought several battles with the Chu Family Army. I am afraid that if it continues, they will clash with the Chu Family Army and the tragedy that happened that year will happen, which will ruin their bright future."

"Oh!" Murong Yue thought for a moment and realized that Long Jingmo knew how to lie low for the sake of his brothers. According to the past, he would have killed Prime Minister Chu to avenge King Pingnan.

"I will send people to deliver food and grass to Luotuo Ridge soon. It won't be long before we can enter Kyoto. No matter who ascends the throne, I will help the Pingnan Army regain its former status." This Long Jingmo helped me a lot on the way to exile. Besides, it is only a matter of time before so many people become bandits.

After receiving the promise, Long Jingmo knelt down and said gratefully, "Long Jingmo thanks the prince!"

Qin Huaiyi and Lin Shichang also knelt down together, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Mu Xi pulled Long Jingmo up and said, "Brother, don't keep kneeling. Xier will send someone to bring you some mutton, along with food and herbs. You look so thin." His voice was full of concern.

Long Jingmo took a step back, avoiding Mu Xi's hand, "Thank you, Princess."

Seeing how cautious he was, afraid of offending Prince Duan, Mu Xi chuckled, "I still like the old Brother Long, because that Brother Long was not afraid of power."

Murong Yue snorted slightly and stared at Long Jingmo unkindly.

How could Long Jingmo not know the jealousy in Prince Duan's eyes? He took another step back. He also wanted to not be afraid of power, but he still had so many brothers under him.

The soldier who reported the incident came running over quickly.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Chu and General Sun have arrived at the tent, waiting for you to come over to discuss matters!!!"

"Okay, I'll be there soon!" Murong Yue suppressed his anger, "You can come too!" This Long Jingmo is the youngest son of King Pingnan. He has always been a thorn in the side of Prime Minister Chu. Today, he will stand up as this thorn and kill the prestige of the Chu family.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

tent.

Outside the door were General Sun's personal guards, Sun Yaoqing and Sun Yaoting. The other two were Chu Zili and Chu Zixiong, the two grandsons of Prime Minister Chu.

Seeing Murong Yue and Long Jingmo coming together, everyone bowed, "Your Majesty,"

"Yes!" Prince Duan strode in.

"You can't go in, you are rebels!" Chu Zili stopped Long Jingmo, his eyes full of hostility.

Chu Zixiong and the guards behind him drew their swords, intending to kill and silence the witnesses.

Murong Yue's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she shouted angrily, "How dare you! The Pingnan Army is now also an important force in resisting the enemy country. How can you say it is a rebel army?"

Chu Zixiong still pointed his sword at Long Jingmo, "Your Majesty, he is the son of the traitor Prince Pingnan!"

As soon as the words fell, Murong Yue teleported and snatched the long sword from Chu Zixiong's hand. With a force of her arm, the sword fell ten meters away, half of it inserted into the ground.

"If I hear the word traitor again, I will make you bleed to death on the spot."

Looking at the shaking hilt, everyone's face changed drastically, and they saluted again.

"Your Majesty, I dare not."

No one expected that Prince Duan had such profound inner strength, and no one expected that this prince who was once abandoned as a hostage by the Great Xia Kingdom would now become the popular candidate for the throne.

Dongfeng leaned close to Murong Yue's ear and whispered something. Murong Yue's face darkened and he walked into the tent.

Seeing Murong Yue and Long Jingmo walking in with cold faces, Prime Minister Chu, Sun Chongwei and other generals stood up and saluted respectfully.

"Your Highness, we are willing to obey your orders!" No one expected that this hostage prince would recover more than 30 lost cities in just one month.

"Everyone, sit down!" Murong Yue walked to her main seat and looked at Prime Minister Chu.

"I didn't expect that Prime Minister Chu would personally go to the front of the two armies to supervise the battle and manage food and grass!" This old man colluded with the Queen Mother Chu to frame my mother and uncle many times.

Prime Minister Chu rolled his cloudy eyes and said loudly,

"Your Highness is now the people's favorite. I have no objection to the soldiers supporting your ascension to the throne. For the sake of Daxia, it is much better than that young prince. However, I have a condition!"

Murong Yue stared at Prime Minister Chu with hostility, knowing that these Chu family's ministers would not surrender easily.

"I hope that the prince will marry my granddaughter, Chu Meiniang, as the queen. Meiniang is both talented and beautiful, and has both moral integrity and artistic talent. Only she is worthy of the prince!" After saying that, he pulled a soldier behind him.

This person looked shy and stared at Murong Yue intently. She liked this man from the moment he walked into the tent. She had never seen a man so handsome in military uniform! She had always known that the Eighth Prince had been a hostage in Yuanlong Country for ten years. She thought he was a very unbearable image, but she didn't expect him to be heroic and radiant. Only she was worthy of such a man.

Long Jingmo looked at Chu Meiniang's coquettish look and felt like a dagger stabbed her in his heart. Just now, when he saw Xier's happy expression, it was obvious that her relationship with the prince had become much closer.

Sun Chongwei looked at Murong Yue's cold face and glanced at Prime Minister Chu with disdain. In the past two months, this old man has been giving orders in his military camp and brought a large group of beautiful women with him. Not only does he enjoy himself every day, but he also doesn't care about government affairs, but he always puts pressure on you at the critical moment.

A hint of coldness flashed across Murong Yue's eyes.

“If I don’t do anything, the Emperor is at Hangu Pass. Isn’t Prime Minister Chu committing treason by saying such things?” This old thing, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager are all his blood relatives. Now he is paving the way for the Chu family again and building a grand blueprint. It’s really hateful.
