Chapter 231 He Was Raised by Wolves
The military camp, which had just experienced a war, was filled with the smell of blood.
The offensive outside the city had never stopped in the past few days, and there were heavy casualties in the city.
It was not an icy winter day, but the stench of rotting corpses and wounds mixed with the blood made people feel nauseous when they smelled it for the first time.
Lu Xinran's face was pale due to the cloth tied on the tip of his nose, and Song Junyan's complexion was not good either.
"Your Majesty, the general is just ahead."
The soldier leading the way didn't look at their pale faces, but hurriedly took a few steps to lead people in the direction of Xie Lang.
Lu Xinran kept reminding the system that as long as they could download the booklet, they would leave immediately.
Regardless of whether General Xie had rebelled or not, she was not in a hurry to know the news.
The soldier walked very fast. Before he entered the wounded camp, he could hear wailing one after another, and the smell of blood and rot became more and more obvious.
Xie Lang, wearing silver armor, was watching the situation in the wounded camp accompanied by his men.
Hearing the soldier's words, he immediately turned sideways and shot a sharp hawk-like gaze at the three of them.
This is a tough guy!
However, as soon as they met, this thought came to Lu Xinran's mind.
"Tongzi, is it loaded?"
"alright."
The terrifying feeling of oppression made the system tremble along with her emotions.
Lu Xinran backed out instantly: "My Lord, let's go back first."
"You go back first. I'll have someone take you back to your mother. I'll go see General Xie."
He is a prince and has come here on a mission. At this moment, he is only a few steps away from the commander of Hanyu Pass and cannot turn back and be disrespectful.
Lu Xinran hummed, pulled Lu Xinlan and turned away.
Although Xie Lang's booklet has not been opened yet, this man's eyes are too fierce and he is not someone to be trifled with.
She felt inexplicably frightened, and felt that if she didn't leave now, she would never be able to leave again.
She walked fast, and Lu Xinlan, who was afraid that she was talking nonsense in her heart, walked even faster, almost dragging her and her sister away and quickly disappeared from Xie Lang's sight.
The distance between him and her was far more than fifty steps.
Lu Xinran turned around and took a look. Although they were very far away, that oppressive gaze seemed to still be on her.
How could this person be so scary?
"Sister, do you think the prince will be okay?"
What if the traitor is Xie Lang, will he directly kidnap Song Junyan as a hostage?
Thinking of this, Lu Xinran suddenly became a little worried.
Having been together day and night during this journey, she was very satisfied with her husband.
He is a man of few words but very tactful. He is very respectful to the Queen, but does not have much of the overbearing aura of a prince.
Where else can you find such a good boss!
What if something happens? Should she restart her plan of saving money and running away to raise a little puppy?
Lu Xinlan pulled her along without stopping until they saw the general's mansion from afar, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"It will be fine. General Xie is the general guarding Hanyu Pass. How could he put His Majesty in danger?"
She deliberately changed the meaning of her words and pulled her to jog a few steps, until they returned to the general's mansion and to the queen's side. Only then did they both breathe a sigh of relief.
[Let me see what's wrong with this General Xie. Why is he so intimidating?]
[They are all warriors who fought on the battlefield, but why is he so powerful and looks like he is not easy to mess with? ]
Hearing the familiar voice, the queen immediately waved her hand for everyone to be quiet.
She wanted to know whether the person who betrayed her was Xie Lang.
[He and General Qi were both picked up by the Queen! ]
Lu Xinran flipped through the booklet and exclaimed in wonderment as if he had never seen the world before.
[The Queen followed her father to the battlefield when she was five years old, but she was too young at the time, and her father was afraid that something might happen to her, so he only let her ride out of the city after the war was over.]
[After the war, the city was in ruins, and the surrounding villages and farmlands were all in ruins under the trampling of iron hooves.]
[Every time those people from outside the Great Wall came to attack the city, they would go to the surrounding villages to burn, kill, and loot, especially women, whom they would take back to have children.]
[And the children of Da Chu will be killed by them. ]
[General Qi narrowly escaped death in this situation and was picked up by the Queen who happened to pass by.]
[Xie Lang is the same as him, but he was picked up in the second year after General Qi came to the Zhang family. When he first arrived at the Zhang family, he was like, um, a wolf cub.]
[At that time, no matter who he looked at, his eyes were particularly vicious, like a lone wolf in the snow in winter.]
[It was the Queen and the Zhang family who always cared for him and took care of him, which gradually made him lose his overly obvious wildness and be able to talk to others normally, read books and practice martial arts.]
When he suddenly heard about his past, Qi Yu's face was full of nostalgia.
Although decades have passed, the scenes of those years still seem to have happened yesterday in his mind.
The queen lowered her head slightly, waiting patiently for what happened next.
[Those days were their happiest time. Even though the war was intense and they were inevitably injured every time they went to the battlefield, they were still very happy.]
【Until the Emperor, who was not yet the Crown Prince, arrived.】
[The queen fell in love with the emperor at first sight. The girl's love was bright and passionate. The old scumbag noticed it almost immediately and then found a way to get a marriage.]
[Zhang Yongping knew that the late emperor had always been extremely wary of the Zhang family. After the empress received the imperial decree granting her marriage, she thought carefully and decided to bring the Zhang family back to the capital after defeating the Qiang people.]
[He had originally made arrangements to have Qi Yu and Xie Lang guard the two borders separately.]
[With wars to support them, they can each train their own subordinates or their own offspring, and then these two dangerous passes will not be without successors.]
【but……】
Qi Yu's cheeks were already burning hot as his thoughts stopped for a moment.
He didn't dare to look up for fear that the Queen would look at him and see the embarrassment hidden deep in his heart.
But he was afraid, and his inner voice revealed this unspeakable thing.
[But none of them had married, and they had no children of their own, so the Zhang family army handed over to them would soon be unable to be passed on.]
[They have always wanted to hand over the Northwest Military Power to the prince born to the Queen, but the Queen has no children since she got married.]
[In the former palace, then the crown prince's palace, and then the harem, princes and princesses were born every year, but there was no movement from the queen's side. ]
[Qi Yu doesn't want to assume the worst, but Xie Lang does. He is a wolf cub raised by wolves.]
[He tried every means to go to the capital to gather intelligence, and finally learned from Sun Linyuan's son that the queen had no children because the emperor was afraid of the Zhang family.]
[Knowing that the Queen had been treated coldly by the Emperor since her marriage, and knowing that all the concubines in the harem could step on her.]
[All of this made him extremely angry. He wanted to write to her and ask her if this was the day she had been looking forward to watching the sunset.]
[Is this all she got for rejecting his love? ]
[But the palace was full of obstacles, and he was at the border, so his letters could not reach her at all, and he had no way to leave the border to see her in the capital.]
[If he can't leave, then we can only find a way to get her to come. ]
