After entering the book, he stole the heroine's charming attributes

A few days later, Beiyuan finally launched an attack on Qi Dynasty, breaking the ten years of peace.

The war between Qi Dynasty and Beiyuan made the people panic.

That day, Qin Yu and Shen Han came back from court, and Shen Liwen and Xiangning were already waiting in the study.

"Did the emperor release Huo Nanlian?" Wen Xiangning asked first.

"Not yet. The emperor said that if Huo Jian can defeat Beiyuan, he will pardon Huo Nanlian and spare her life." Shen Han said.

"I guessed this would be the result." Wen Xiangning said softly.

"Xiang Ning, the emperor can't do anything about this. Huo Jian is really good at leading troops in battle. He was the one who won the war with Beiyuan ten years ago, which brought ten years of peace between the two countries. Now that the war has resumed, he is naturally the best choice."

"I know. I don't blame my brother. I just feel sorry for Yu Bin. Yu Bin might have really had feelings for Huo Nanlian, but in the end, he was killed, but the person who killed him can still live at large. This is very unfair."

"Yes, maybe it's not her destiny. Huo Nanlian alone can't handle the affairs of state." Shen Han said in a low voice.

Shen Li glanced at him and knew that he might be unhappy, perhaps because of Wen Xiangning's attitude towards Yu Bin.

She looked at Qin Yu again, and they both remained silent.

"Are you... unhappy?" Wen Xiangning asked.

Shen Han forced a smile: "No."

"Before I met you, I did have some feelings for him. After all, he was nice to me. I thought he really liked me, and he left so suddenly that I couldn't forget him. But after I met you, I realized that my feelings for him were just a temporary passion when I was young. This kind of emotion is not enough for a person to remember for a lifetime. So when I found out that he had an affair with Huo Nanlian, I was not very angry. It was only then that I realized that I didn't even have that little passion anymore. Han Lang, now I only have you in my heart. You have to believe me."

Shen Li and Qin Yu, listening to this analysis and confession, continued to be silent like mushrooms.

Shen Han held Wen Xiangning's hand and said, "You are pregnant now, please sit down. I am really not angry."

Wen Xiangning stared at him.

"Okay, I admit it. I just..." Shen Han glanced at Shen Li and Qin Yu, and said in a low voice, "I just feel a little uncomfortable."

Wen Xiangning couldn't help but laugh: "I understand, but don't worry, I really just want to seek justice for Yu Bin, there is absolutely no other emotion involved."

"Ah."

"Excuse me, brother and sister-in-law, are you done talking? Can we get down to business now?" Shen Li teased.

"Haven't you been saying that all along?" Shen Han said without blushing.

Wen Xiangning was shy and didn't say anything.

Shen Li's expression was indescribable: "The Emperor wants Huo Jian to lead the troops to war?"

"Well, but the emperor did not release Huo Nanlian. He also hoped to restrain Huo Jian and make him try his best to defeat Beiyuan." Qin Yu said.

"Yes, but Huo Jian did not agree. He wanted the emperor to release Huo Nanlian first, so the two of them are in a stalemate now." Shen Han said.

Wen Xiangning patted the armrest of the chair and said, "This old man is really too much. He actually dared to threaten my brother. At this time, he still can't tell the difference between the important and the minor."

"Yes, if he delays in leading his troops to war, there will be others, but they may not be Beiyuan's opponents." Qin Yu said.

"It seems that the emperor has no choice but to agree to his conditions and release Huo Nanlian immediately." Wen Xiangning said.

Everyone in the room was silent.

The next day, Huo Jian ordered his troops to go to war.

Huo Nanlian also returned to the Gu Mansion, but Emperor Ruikang asked Gu Cheng to keep an eye on her and not let her leave the Gu Mansion, which was a disguised form of house arrest.

The purpose is to control Huo Jian.

But Shen Li felt that an emperor would definitely be angry if he was threatened by a minister. If Huo Jian really lost, Huo Nanlian would definitely not survive.

Besides, she killed the prince consort, which affected the reputation of the royal family. If she was not killed, how could they stop the gossips of the world?

Emperor Ruikang did not allow her to leave the Gu Mansion because he did not want Huo Nanlian to escape.

When the war broke out, Shen Li's business of exporting perfume and ointment to Beiyuan naturally could no longer continue, and the perfume and ointment business in Qi Dynasty was also affected a little, but not greatly.

Only the massage parlors are more affected. At this time, people naturally don't have much mood to enjoy it.

The days passed quietly as the people were eagerly awaiting news of victory from the border.

But the people were disappointed. A month later, war reports finally came from the border, which showed that Huo Jian had been defeated and he himself was seriously injured, so that he was no longer able to command the war.

Emperor Ruikang hastily appointed another general, but this time everyone was unsure, after all, the court had not trained any powerful military generals over the years.

Some people are good at martial arts, but they are brave but not wise. Some people are smart, but their martial arts skills are mediocre. They are simply incapable of leading troops to fight and are only suitable to be a military advisor.

The general sent this time was still inexperienced.

Why is this so? Because the experienced generals have already followed Huo Jian to the battlefield.

The reason why military generals have become so scarce over the years is that the court values ​​civil officials over military officials. Also, with Huo Jian around, those who want to become military generals find it difficult to succeed. If they don't want to worship him, there is no hope at all.

All the officials, who had been relatively calm, couldn't help but start to panic.

There was a dark cloud hanging over the court.

Shen Li and Qin Yu discussed the reasons for Huo Jian's defeat this time. One reason was Huo Jian's personal reasons, such as his old age and his underestimation of the enemy. He had been careless over the years and may not have studied tactics or training thoroughly enough.

The second is Beiyuan. After ten years of recuperation, they are now more powerful than ten years ago.

But even if they knew the reason, it would be useless. They could only wait for news from the front line.

Ten days later, there was finally a battle report from the front line. This inexperienced general was defeated in the first battle and was killed on the spot by Tuoba Rui of Beiyuan.

Qi Chao's momentum plummeted.

At this time, Shen Li received a letter from Shen Xing, saying that he wanted to take some martial arts people to the border to kill the enemy, and wanted to ask her and Shen Han if they could use their connections to get the military camp to accept them.

Shen Li, Qin Yu, Shen Han and Wen Xiangning discussed for a long time and finally decided that Qin Yu would ask the emperor for help and lead the troops to the battle.

The four entered the palace.

"Nonsense! How can you, a civilian official, lead troops to fight? Do you want the world to laugh at my Qi Dynasty for having no one? No matter how bad it is, we still have generals. I have decided to let Zhao Qian go."

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about what would happen to our momentum if General Zhao also failed? It would be even more difficult to win at that time." Qin Yu said.
