630 The Might of a Divine General (1)
The Emperor felt a headache coming on. The conflict in the country had yet to be resolved. The Great Zhou’s cavalry had arrived, and the commander was still the mighty Xiao Zhenting.
That mountain-like man…
Xiao Zhenting’s name was resounding, and the Emperor had heard a lot of it. Nanzhao had Beiming, and the Great Zhou had Xiao Zhenting. This sentence was like thunder in the court and the commoners. The Emperor was once unconvinced. What kind of man could compete with the War God of Nanzhao?
It was not until the spies brought back a lot of news about Xiao Zhenting that the Emperor fell silent.
!!
No matter how unwilling he was, he had to admit that he was indeed a unique War God. Unlike the Helian Manor, which was a family of generals, although the Xiao family was also a big family, they were really established in Xiao Zhenting’s generation.
Xiao Zhenting did not have a good father like Bull Egg, nor did he have an emperor who used people without any doubts like the Emperor. His path to growth was much more difficult than Helian Beiming, but he still relied on his outstanding strength to reach the position of Grand Marshal step by step.
Because of this, the Great Zhou Emperor was afraid of him and used methods to force him to hand over his military power. As for what that method was, many people knew very well. It was nothing more than Xiao Zhenting taking a fancy to Prince Yan’s widow and not marrying anyone but her. The Emperor forced him with his military power. Logically speaking, at this point, Xiao Zhenting should have given up on Princess Consort Yan. After all, the world was big, and he could have any woman he wanted.
However, he handed over his military power without a word. Perhaps he really favored Princess Consort Yan, or perhaps he was taking the opportunity to exchange for the lives of more than a hundred thousand brothers.
Other than the person involved, no one knew the truth.
However, one thing was certain. Ever since Xiao Zhenting handed over his military power, he had stopped asking about the court. The only time he went to war was when something happened to his nephew, Xiao Yan. However, at that time, the Emperor did not give him much military power. He relied on the meager military strength in Prefecture You to repel the 100,000 Xiongnu army.
Of course, it was thanks to Yu Shaoqing and Xiao Yan obtaining the list of spies, but what really made the Xiongnu people lose their fighting spirit was this iron-blooded divine general.
Wherever he was, it was the enemy’s asura field.
If Helian Beiming had not lost his martial arts, the Emperor would not have been afraid of Xiao Zhenting. No matter how powerful Xiao Zhenting was, Helian Beiming was equally outstanding. In fact, because he had an outstanding general father like Bull Egg and had accumulated experience for generations, his attainments in tactics had gone further.
Of course, it was not that he could not let Helian Beiming go north. As long as he arranged the troops there, he would be the strongest calming needle for the soldiers of Nanzhao.
However…
The Emperor thought of Xiao Zhenting’s random combat methods. The Emperor was afraid that he would infiltrate the military camp and assassinate Helian Beiming.
Did the Emperor of the Great Zhou really care so much about Prince Yan? He cared so much that he was willing to hand his military power back to Xiao Zhenting.
The Emperor was in a terrible fix!
This turn of events was unexpected. Although the identity of the Prince Consort had been exposed, most people did not see it as a threat to Nanzhao. It was a secret song between the two of them. How did it involve the competition between the two countries?
And the news from the front line seemed to be that the Great Zhou Emperor was blaming the Princess of Nanzhao for harming Prince Yan.
This was intriguing.
Could there be something else about Prince Yan and the Little Princess’s marriage back then?
“I heard that Prince Yan and Princess Consort Yan have an extremely good relationship. Prince Yan doesn’t look like he will find someone else.”
“Prince Yan has an extremely upright reputation and is an open and aboveboard gentleman. Why would he abandon his wife and son?”
“That’s right. He even faked his death. Isn’t this a crime of deceiving the Emperor? If he really committed a crime of deceiving the Emperor, the Great Zhou Emperor should want to execute him. It’s easy to execute him. Just write a letter and ask the Emperor of Nanzhao to hand him over.”
Of course, there were also people who suspected that the Great Zhou Emperor was using this as an excuse. They said that he had wanted to attack Nanzhao for a long time, but he did not have a suitable excuse. Now, he was giving them a pillow when he was sleepy.
There were even more comments about the Little Princess forcefully kidnapping Prince Yan and drugging him for many years to make him forget his identity.
The Little Princess had occupied Princess Consort Yan’s husband and caused her family to split up. Now, her retribution had come, the retribution of the entire Nanzhao had come.
“What kind of lucky star is this? I think she’s simply a jinx!”
“That’s right. Did the Old State Preceptor really not make a mistake back then?”
Back then, the topic of fate was pushed to the top again. Unlike before, it was one-sided. This time, many commoners spoke up for the Eldest Princess, saying that that child did not look like she was unlucky.
