Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

The post of supervisor has existed since ancient times, and the name and authority may have changed due to different dynasties. But in the final analysis, its existence is a means for the king to strengthen the control of frontier warfare.

Fifty years ago, after the fall of the five cities outside the Great Wall, the emperor of the Sheng Dynasty was greatly frightened.

It was only in recent years, when the peaceful days had passed, and the memory of those days of fear gradually faded, and the situation improved slightly.

But in fact, since he only needs to be directly responsible to the emperor, supervising the army can still shake the decision of the commander-in-chief in the army.

After the dinner, Qi You returned to the room.

Cao Mi had been waiting for him for a long time, and when he saw him enter the door, he greeted him.

Qi You doesn't drink often, but his drinking capacity is acceptable. At this time, his face is red, but his demeanor looks quite clear.

"Are you okay?" Cao Mi stepped forward to support him: "Did you drink too much?"

Shaking his head, Qi You took the wet handkerchief in her hand and wiped it himself: "It's fine."

Cao Mi breathed a sigh of relief.

It stands to reason that Princess Bei'an needs to go to receive the decree together with the King of Bei'an, and attend the reception banquet to receive guests.

But Qi You directly made Cao Mi pretend to be sick after receiving the news three days ago.

He hadn't received any news from his subordinates beforehand. He expected that the visitors were not good, and he didn't want Cao Mi to go to the front with him to make a fool of himself, lest he would lose his appetite when he came back.

After washing and changing, Qi You sat on the couch in a daze with a hangover tea.

"Is the situation... very bad?" Cao Mi asked cautiously: "I heard from the people below that the **** who passed the decree was the **** next to the emperor, who came to supervise the army."

"Yes." Qi You replied.

Recalling the appearance of the guards in his memory, Cao Mi said, "Hey... what on earth are you thinking over there?

"For such an important matter as marching and fighting, you still have to send someone who doesn't know anything to point fingers and interfere with the prince's decision!"

Seeing the expression on her face full of hatred as his own, Qi You couldn't help but smile.

He let out a breath and explained, "You don't know, this Eunuch Li is not someone who 'knows nothing'.

"The battle against Nanyi in the imperial court more than ten years ago was also his expedition with the army. He took the place of commander-in-chief at that time and commanded several beautiful battles, which are still talked about today."

The more he spoke, the darker Qi You's eyes became.

Cao Mi opened his mouth and understood the meaning of Qi You's words.

She confirmed: "You mean... people who 'know everything' are actually more difficult to deal with, right?"

Qi You nodded: "Well, that's exactly it."

Cao Mi scratched his head.

She rolled her eyes and suggested, "By the way, lord, why don't you think of a way to keep him here in Jurong.

"As long as he doesn't follow him to Feng Rong, he won't interfere with you!"

Qi You turned his head to look over, suddenly stretched out his hand, wrapped Cao Mi's neck and pulled her to him.

With his forehead pressed against each other, he said softly, "What do you think is too simple?"

The two of them now look a bit like children who are about to exchange secrets.

Cao Mi's heart skipped a few beats.

She was nervous with some indescribable excitement, swallowed her saliva and asked in a low voice, "How do you say it?"

"Feng Rong's side is normally ordered to attack, what are they afraid of interference?" Qi You explained with the corners of his mouth hooked: "If he stayed in the rejection, I would be terrified."

Cao Mi closed his eyes awkwardly.

She blushed and said: "Actually, you don't have to worry about me too much. I can take care of myself, and Qi Rui and the others... What's the need for heartbreak..."

The more she spoke, the quieter she became, and the next sentence was completely inaudible.

Qi You laughed outright and said, "What are you thinking about?"

Cao Mi looked at him shyly: "You didn't say he stayed in Jirong, you just..."

"Yes." Qi You said: "There are glass workshops and iron smelting workshops in the suburbs of Jirong... These things cannot be known to the court for the time being."

Cao Mi's pool of spring water reflecting peach blossoms was instantly frozen into ice slag, and his face became embarrassed.

"What were you thinking just now?" King Bei'an teased after him.

Cao Mi glared at him, and did not speak with a dark face.

After the play was over, Qi You laughed a few times. Seeing that Cao Mi was still pouting, he hurriedly coaxed people up again.

Cao Mi also knew that he was discussing business affairs at this time, so he just went down the steps and asked, "Then... you will take him to Feng Rong?

"There shouldn't be anything wrong, right?"

"Well, no." Qi You thought for a while: "I mainly don't know what the emperor's intention is now.

"Actually, maybe it's my villain's heart. The existence of supervisors is actually very common. It doesn't mean that the emperor sent him here, but he intends to deal with me."

"I don't think so!" Seeing that Qi You's heart was "biased" toward the court, Cao Mi hurriedly said.

Qi You is still a loyal and patriotic son of the royal family. Even if he is a little dissatisfied with some decisions of the court, he is still willing to maintain the rule of the court.

But Cao Mi, a traveler, knew that his ending in the book was to die at the hands of the court he never suspected.

She didn't want to let Qi You have such a favorable impression of the court.

"My lord, you forgot about me and Ruier, why are you here?" Cao Mi reminded: "Last year, the imperial court wanted to 'invite' the four of us directly to the capital.

"This Eunuch Li, isn't that the one who did not succeed and made another plan, and sent him here?"

She counted with her fingers, and said, "You do the math, those people who came to arrest me missed out, and after returning to their lives, the emperor must have thought of another way.

"Except for the time when the snow fell outside the fortress in winter and could not pass through, in this way, Eunuch Li's group was clearly sent here after that!"

Qi You's expression became obviously solemn.

Cao Mi hit the railroad while it was hot: "I don't know what the imperial court is thinking, but, my lord, the emperor's side...hey, they are definitely on guard against you."

After she finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Qi You was obviously thoughtful, while Cao Mi was busy soothing his heart, which was beating wildly because of his bold speech just now.

After all, every word she has just been trying to provoke the relationship between the court officials and the emperor!

It was probably too close, and when she regained her senses, Qi You immediately noticed her unease.

He squeezed Cao Mi's wrist, feeling her abnormal pulse, and asked with a smile, "You know you're afraid after speaking?"

Cao Mi endured his fear: "Well."

"I really can't say this." Qi You sighed helplessly, "Especially, it must not be heard by outsiders."

Cao Mi said angrily again, "Mmmm".

"But... there are no outsiders here, don't be afraid." After saying this, Qi You took her into his arms.

Cao Mi was leaning on Qi You's chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, he slowly calmed down.

The panic gradually subsided, and an indescribable grievance suddenly surged up again.

Cao Mi only felt that in this vast sky, he was the only one who had to bear various secrets of ups and downs, and he couldn't reveal it to others.

In the past, it was fine, but at this moment, buried in the arms of her sweetheart, she was particularly vulnerable.

"I just hope..." Cao Mi said with a bit of a weeping voice: "Your Highness, please be more careful with the people at the court.

"The battle with the Rong people is a real sword, I know the ability of the prince, and I am not very worried.

"But there are many hidden arrows that are difficult to guard against in the imperial court. Coupled with the natural top-down relationship between monarchs and ministers, it is very difficult for us to disobey the above orders. Whether it's just sealing Liaozhou, or being almost connected to the capital before, there are all kinds of signs. , has already made me unable to take it easy.”

Qi You gently patted her on the back and nodded earnestly.

Seeing Cao Mi quiet down, he said, "Well, I know, don't worry."

His eyes fell on the candlelight on the case: "Feng Rong is what I have in my pocket, it's just a matter of time to capture it.

"I will set off after a while, and I will put more energy on Eunuch Li to explore the intentions of the court."

"Yeah." Hearing his promise, Cao Mi was a little relieved.

She asked, "Then you can come back soon this time, right?"

Qi You stiffened, then shook his head: "I'm afraid not."

Cao Mi looked up at him puzzled, and he explained: "After capturing Feng Rong, I will continue to go north to search for the remnants of the Sheng Dynasty, and at the same time, I will start making arrangements there to check the conditions of the two cities in the north, for the purpose of Prepare for the next attack.

"This time to capture Feng Rong, at least three months, as many as half a year, I can bring the army back."

Cao Mi nodded sullenly.

She thought for a while, then asked, "I will stay in the city with the children, but what do I need to do?"

Qi You recalled his plan and said, "There are three more important things.

"One is, as I told you before, the matter that I want to support the Prince of the Rong clan will start after I leave.

"After a while, a batch of iron weapons will be transported from Changling to supply supplies at Jirong, and then go deep into the grassland. You have to cooperate with Qi San and the others to provide cover."

Cao Mi was a little surprised when he heard this: "Send iron weapons directly?"

Qi You smiled: "Don't worry, it's something that was eliminated by the army before.

"Didn't I ask you for a new method of smelting? The weapons produced by the new smelting method are incomparable to those before. I have equipped a large number of elite soldiers with new weapons and a batch of old weapons. They were left idle and piled up in Changling's warehouse.

"These things are useless to me, but for the prince, they are extremely important armaments."

Cao Mi nodded: "I understand. Hmm... what about the second thing?"

"Changsun Ling will send a batch of things from Lizhou in the summer." Qi You continued: "I originally made arrangements at the nearest port - Shuijing, but I may be at that time. Haven't come back yet.

"You send a few people over, and when the time comes, you can arrange those things."

Cao Mi opened his mouth and said in surprise: "When you sent the eldest Sun Ling over, you didn't just help me protect the North Temple and the others... This can already be transported back."

"A whole team of personal soldiers must do something." Qi You said bluntly without shyness.

Cao Mi shook his head helplessly: "Okay."

She went on to ask, "What about the third last thing? What is it?"

"The third one..." Qi You deliberately stretched the ending very long, and after arousing Cao Mi's curiosity, he directly hugged her by the waist.

Before Cao Mi had regained his senses, he was really startled.

"Ah?" Princess Bei'an was unaware of her dangerous situation.

Qi You carried her to the bed and said in a low voice, "Qi Rui said he wants a sister."

The red account was gently lifted and dropped, covering up the growing spring.
