Dongfang Shuo was furious: "What do they want to do? Rebellion?"

Chu Runxue looked at him calmly, took two steps forward, came in front of Dongfang Shuo, and slightly raised her head to meet his gaze.

"If the Zhenbei Marquisate had such thoughts, everyone would be able to kill them. But Your Highness is different. You are of royal blood."

Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment, then understood.

Chu Runxue said that he was the one who was qualified to compete for the throne, and no matter how well the Chu family performed, they were just subjects, and if they dared to compete for the throne, it would be a rebellion.

But their actions of winning over people's hearts and destroying his reputation are still infuriating.

Chu Runxue took his hand and looked at him gently: "Your Highness, tell me about the Northern Frontier battlefield. Where is Mr. Chen? Why didn't he come back with you? What did you experience in the Northern Frontier battlefield?"

No matter how hard Chu Runxue thought, she couldn't figure out how Dongfang Shuo's army was wiped out, so she kept waiting, waiting for Dongfang Shuo to tell her the situation on the battlefield in the northern border.

Dongfang Shuo's eyes were filled with pain. The battlefield in the northern border had dealt him such a heavy blow that he didn't even want to recall it.

Chu Runxue encouraged him: "Your Highness, if you don't explain the situation clearly, I won't be able to analyze which link went wrong to lead to such a result."

Her tone was gentle, and her fingers kneading his white and soft flesh, Dongfang Shuo felt a warm current flowing into his heart. He looked into the distance - as if looking at the northern battlefield where he had experienced it in the past, and slowly and calmly described the situation one by one.

“…When I was surrounded by Zhou Hanchi’s army, I was still thinking that Mr. Chen would definitely come to rescue me. At that time, I didn’t know that Mr. Chen had been brutally murdered.

"When I was in dire straits and had less than 2,000 men around me, it was Chu Yi who came to rescue me with a large army. After we fought our way out of the encirclement, I saw Mr. Chen's body on the battlefield, his head and body separated. It turned out that Mr. Chen had died long before I was trapped."

Speaking of this, Dongfang Shuo's face turned pale.

If he was furious when he was besieged and his entire army was annihilated, then his mind went completely blank when he saw Chen Cuo's head and body separated. In the following days and journeys, he was nothing more than a walking corpse.

As they were talking, the two had already walked to a pavilion, and Chu Runxue pulled him to sit down.

"So, the victory in this battle in the North was due to the appearance of stirrups, which led to the rapid progress of cavalry?"

Dongfang Shuo was in great pain. He listened to her words and responded, "Yes."

Chu Runxue added: "The second reason is that my eldest brother's legs were healed, catching the Northern Zhou Dynasty off guard?"

Dongfang Shuo: "Yes."

"The third reason is, my weak fourth brother led his men across the desert and directly reached the enemy's rear camp? And your most capable man was brutally killed before you were trapped?"

Dongfang Shuo closed his eyes tightly and said dryly: "Yes."

"It's so strange. When my elder brother arrived at the northern battlefield after his legs were healed, he also brought stirrups with him." Chu Runxue sneered, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Dongfang Shuo suddenly opened his eyes, "What do you mean by that, Xue'er?"

"We have all been deceived by Chu Ni. He has never lost his legs." Chu Runxue said with certainty, his voice as cold as ice.

She remembered that she personally took Doctor Chen to treat Chu Ni's legs, but Chu Ni killed Doctor Chen in front of her and Chu Heyi.

This led her to mistakenly believe that Chu Yi was so cruel because he could not accept the loss of his legs.

In fact, Chu Ni was putting on a show for her.

Otherwise it would be impossible to explain how the Chu carriage could bring stirrups with it when it arrived at the northern battlefield.

Stirrup!

Realizing the appearance of this thing, Chu Runxue's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Stirrups had not yet appeared in this era. She was thinking that after the Chu family gained control of 300,000 troops, she would have people manufacture stirrups and develop the Daqi cavalry.

It is only a matter of time before they break through the Northern Zhou city.

But this time, the Chu family relied on the appearance of stirrups to defeat the Northern Zhou soldiers, and they won beautifully!

As for Chu Ren's "rushing thousands of miles to defeat the enemy", that was a tactic used by a certain war god in history.

Chu Runxue was suspicious again: "Besides me, is there someone else who came from the 21st century? Who is it?"

"Chu Yi never lost his legs!" Dongfang Shuo stood up in shock. "He is deceiving the emperor. I will tell my father. He will definitely punish him."

Chu Runxue stopped him and asked, "Where's the evidence?"

Dongfang Shuo was shocked. There was indeed no evidence. After all, even the imperial physician in the palace had gone to see Chu Ni.

Moreover, Chu Heyi went to the Xie family and made a big fuss because of Chu Yi's loss of legs, and asked the head of the Xie family to beat Xie Shaobai with a hundred lashes.

...There is no evidence at all!

Chu Ni and his team were able to do things so perfectly.

If he ran to his father and said that Chu Ni was deceiving the emperor, his father would not only not believe him, but would also severely punish him.

"We lost this round, Your Highness." Chu Runxue took a deep breath, his face cold as ice.

Although they are reluctant to admit it, it is the fact. Fortunately, they only failed in the plundering and did not really lose anything.

"Chen Cuo may have been killed by Chu Yu when Chen Cuo was working for His Highness." Chu Runxue said: "He did not die on the battlefield, nor was he killed by the Northern Zhou army."

Dongfang Shuo sucked in a breath of cold air, his eyes turned red, and all the anger in his body burst out. He wanted to kill someone.

Kill all the Chu family members!

"So, it was Chu Ni and his men who caused my entire army to be annihilated!" Dongfang Shuo gritted his teeth, "It was they who killed the fifty thousand soldiers, not me!"

"..." Chu Runxue looked up at him and thought: Fifty thousand soldiers were killed because of your stubbornness and eagerness for quick success. Only three thousand enemy soldiers led you into an ambush. I'm afraid the Chu family didn't expect you to be so stupid.

But Chu Runxue didn't say that. She was very pleased to see Dongfang Shuo's hatred towards the Chu family.

When he has hatred, he will move and think about trampling the Chu family under his feet in the future. Only in this way can he seize the military power, become a true god of war, and sit on the throne of the nine-five supreme ruler.

But at the moment, Chu Runxue was very disappointed in him. Her man shouldn't be so stupid and so unable to withstand a blow.

"Your Highness, after analysis, I am sure that my elder brother never lost his legs; they had already obtained the stirrups and made them privately without making it public; Chen Cuo was killed by them.

"This is the result of the review, which cannot be changed, and we have no evidence to correct them. We can only admit defeat in this round.

"Giving up doesn't mean we are worse than them, but it means we can learn to do things calmly in the future and not let emotions influence our behavior and decision-making."

Dongfang Shuo was so angry that his whole body became stiff and his face turned ashen. He didn't say a word for a while.

Chu Runxue held his hand in her own, releasing and holding it again, holding and releasing it again, giving him warmth and comfort.

"Your Highness, I have a plan that will completely destroy the Zhenbei Marquisate. Don't worry."

Although Chu Runxue was comforting Dongfang Shuo, she already felt in her heart that Dongfang Shuo was not up to the task and perhaps she should change men.

Dongfang Shuo was immersed in her tenderness. He pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.

"Xue'er, you are the best to me in the world. You are the only one who never leaves me. One day I will definitely make you the most noble woman in the world."

"Your Highness, I'll wait for you." Chu Runxue was extremely gentle.

An unhappy voice suddenly sounded, startling Dongfang Shuo so much that he let go of Chu Runxue in his arms.
