Qin Sè's life was not so good, although the Ning army did not take back the manor in Gedi City, but Gedi City and Sula City were both garrisoned by Daning's army, and her team could only live inside and outside the manor, although the grassland tribes further north were superficially vassals to her, but in fact, these tribes were also watching Ning Jun's face sè act.

Further west, the Three-Eyed Tiger Mountain Pass is isolated, and Qin Sè has no way to pass the pass, unless she agrees to Daning's conditions, otherwise the Three-Eyed Tiger Mountain Pass is a moat in front of her.

Today's Qin sè is still guarding his last bottom line.

"Stay here, stay here."

Qin Sè held the child and shook it gently in her arms, the child is more than a year old, and she learns to speak very early, maybe she often mentions it in front of the child, so she will call her father at ten months, but her mother will call her when she is one year old.

"They want your mother to go to war."

Qin Sè said to himself while gently shaking the child: "There are a lot of bad people outside, Ning people hope that Niang will come out of the Three-Eyed Tiger Mountain Pass, they will give the tens of thousands of people of Yuan Auxiliary Machinery to Niang, Yuan Auxiliary Machinery is desperate, as long as Ning Ren nods, he will be eager to bring people over to Shun Niang immediately, but Niang is not going, all the tribes in the north look at Ning Ren's face, they call you Niang and I as Her Majesty on the surface, but in fact, they will not listen to Niang's orders." ”

Her gaze shifted to the delicate and ornate box on the coffee table not far away.

"There is the heirloom jade seal of the Heiwu Empire, which is a symbol of the glory of our rival family, the national teacher Xin Fengyue sent someone to send it to her mother, she also hopes that her mother will be the empress of the Heiwu Empire, it looks like she is very good to her mother, right, but it is actually fake."

The corners of Qin Sè's mouth rose slightly and she was a little proud: "Ning people want Niang to be the empress, but I want to fight with Xin Fengyue all the time, Xin Fengyue wants me to be the empress, but I want to be his puppet, so no matter what, Niang is the empress of the Black Martial Empire, but no one will fight, Niang is here to guard you, at least ......"

She hugged the child tightly.

"At least my mother has to hold on until you can run, my mother may not be able to support you to protect your mother, and you can't support you to protect yourself, but you have to be able to run, in case one day your mother can't keep you, you can run by yourself, run to Daning to find your wolf-hearted father, he should still be able to protect you."

Qin Sè let out a long breath.

The child fell asleep.

"Mother is also sorry for you, mother doesn't dare to let your surname be invincible, once I let Xin Fengyue know that I have you, Xin Fengyue will become a mad dog...... My mother doesn't want your surname to be Meng, and you have to think carefully about what your surname is...... Forget it, don't think about it yet. ”

Qin Sè put the child on the small bed, the child slept soundly, and he didn't know what he dreamed of, so he actually laughed.

"You've been so good-looking since you were a child, and you don't know how many girls you're going to harm when you grow up."

Qin Sè muttered to herself, and couldn't help but kiss the child on the forehead.

"Sleep."

Qin Sè stood up straight and walked out of the window, it was already early winter, in fact, it was snowing outside in October, and the snow was especially heavy today, outside the dormitory, the black warriors in iron armor stood still, and the iron armor and the flying snow looked so compatible.

"Your Majesty."

The inner attendant ran in from the outside, and handed Qin Sè a letter with both hands: "The national teacher has sent someone to deliver the letter again." ”

"What about people?"

"According to His Majesty's orders, the people sent by the national teacher are not allowed to enter our territory, all letters are intercepted at the checkpoint, and the people from the national teacher also stay at the checkpoint and wait for His Majesty to reply to the national teacher."

Qin Sè breathed a sigh of relief: "In the future, no one from Star City will be allowed to approach." ”

The chamberlain bowed his head: "Remember." ”

Qin Sè took the letter: "You go out first." ”

The chamberlain hurriedly bowed away, Qin Sè took the letter to the fireplace and sat down, leaned on the soft chaise longue, unfolded the letter and looked at it, it was different from before...... The content of this letter made Qin Sè a little flustered, even scared.

Of course, she knew that the national teacher had long thought about herself, but she didn't expect that the national teacher had already had this idea when she was young, and in an instant, she felt that her pores were open, her back was chilling, and her stomach was nauseous.

The national teacher Xin Fengyue said that as long as she is willing to go back, he can even give up everything, the two of them can become husband and wife, Xin Fengyue will be her most loyal courtier, will help her revive the black martial arts, and will make her a peerless empress.

The words were earnest, so Qin Sè trembled with fear.

Get back?

She looked at the sleeping child, who would die if she returned.

Relatively speaking, she prefers to rely on Ning Ren's side, because with Meng Changan's child, the border army in the northern border of Ning will never press too hard, and she is already the Empress of Black Martial Arts, this is already the situation that Ning Ren wants to see, so Ning Ren will not rush to hurt her and hurt the child, but Xin Fengyue is different, how warm Xin Fengyue's letter is, how heavy his murderous intent will be.

"I will not give in."

Qin sè threw the letter into the fireplace.

Outside the estate.

On the ice lake, braving the wind and snow, a team of about thirty knights marched towards the manor, they were dressed in thick sashes, and the white sè's swords were almost integrated with the ice and snow, these knights looked all strong, but they had no armor on them, and the weapons on their bodies were not the horizontal knives used by the Daning border army.

More than 30 riders came through the wind and snow, and the man at the head had a long and short double knife hanging on his back.

At the beginning of the lunar month.

There is a good news report to Chang'an in the north of Xinjiang, and the messenger who delivers the good news has the privilege of riding horses in Chang'an City, and his horse control skills are also very strong, and he will not touch anyone when he gallops through the streets.

"Great victory in northern Xinjiang! Great victory in northern Xinjiang! General Wu Xinyu broke the Black Mountain Khanate! ”

Wu Xinyu was not in Chang'an, and he was also the only one of the top ten generals in the frontier set by His Majesty who did not return to Chang'an because he led the troops to conquer the Montenegro Khanate.

Weiyang Palace, East Warm Pavilion.

Seven of the ten generals of the border army were in the main hall.

"I have summoned you to tell you that the canonization ceremony is almost ready, and if nothing else, the ceremony will be held on Chinese New Year's Eve day, and the whole country will celebrate ......."

The emperor looked at these people in front of him, all of them were pillars of the country.

The general of Western Xinjiang talks about Linghu, the general Tang Baobao, Haisha in Northern Xinjiang, Tang Cheng, and Dongye Dang have arrived, and Wu Xinyu has not arrived, Meng Changan in Eastern Xinjiang is already halfway, and he should be able to come before the year, and Yan Kaisong in Eastern Xinjiang in addition to him, the reason why Meng Changan came later than others is precisely because Yan Kaisong, who is far away in the Bohai Sea, and the two people of the sailor are Shen Leng and Wang Gendong.

The Western Xinjiang general Tan Linghu is the only son of Tan Kyushu, and this time he was designated by His Majesty as one of the top ten generals of the border army, part of the reason is naturally because of Kyushu, but the main reason is because during the Northern Xinjiang War, those small countries in the Western Regions that are friendly with the Heiwu State united to send troops to attack and harass the western Xinjiang of Daning, Tan Linghu and Tang Baobao led tens of thousands of troops to break the army of the Western Regions countries 160,000.

Tang Cheng's military exploits cannot be ignored, he led the army to the death to resist the black Wu beggar army, if there was no his hook and sickle army to drag the beggar army, Wu Xinyu was big

The army could not successfully break through the Yelu Plain, and fought the heavy cavalry of the Black Warrior Beggar Army with infantry, which was the first time in history that it won the war.

Dongye Dang's light cavalry is the key to breaking the wild deer plain, so he was also awarded the title of Top Ten Generals.

Needless to say, not to mention Wu Xinyu, not to mention Meng Changan Shen Leng, Wang Gendong is because he has always maintained a smooth supply flow, and when there are almost no soldiers available in his hands, he still led the water division to steadily supply military rations for the army, at least he only had three or five thousand troops in his hands, but he defeated the army that attacked and disturbed the grain road again and again.

The emperor looked at these young men with a somewhat wandering look in his eyes.

"I know that you are all very hard, very tired, and after the battle, you will have to travel thousands of miles from the frontier to Chang'an, but I hope that you can all come back, so that the people of Chang'an can see what the young people guarding them look like, and when they see it, there will be more young people willing to stand up and shoulder the burden of protecting Daning like you."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and looked out the window, Chang'an was about to snow.

"I have received a resignation letter from Tan Kyushu, he said that he is old and wants to return to the countryside, this is the fourth time he has written such a letter to me, I have rejected him three times, and the first two times I scolded him severely, but this time, I have no way to refrain from it...... Tie Liuli, the general of Northern Xinjiang, Pei Tingshan, the general of Eastern Xinjiang, the two of them died fighting for the country in the battle with the black warriors, and the general of Sijiang has gone to the second, I don't want Tan Kyushu to still fight with the enemy with the strength of old age. ”

The emperor was silent, everyone was silent.

After a long while, the Emperor continued: "I and they have both fought side by side on the battlefield, and they are old, in fact, I am also old...... When I was in Northern Xinjiang, before the decisive battle with Heiwu, I chatted with the general Pei Tingshan all night, and I said, I still can't do without him, and I can't do without talking about veterans like Kyushu, but Pei Tingshan laughed at me and didn't accept the old, he said Your Majesty, have you forgotten, when we started to make the enemy frightened, we were also so young. ”

The emperor looked at everyone: "I suddenly thought wrong, the veteran is available, but the veteran is old after all, I should give them a chance to spend their old age in peace, instead of letting them die on the battlefield, so I ......"

The emperor stood up, and suddenly clenched his fists and leaned over slightly: "So I handed over the frontier of Daning to you." ”

All seven people knelt down: "Your Majesty! ”

The emperor shook his head: "Don't be afraid, you deserve my gift, I handed over the country to you to guard, and I also handed over thousands of people to you to guard, your predecessors have done well enough, I hope you can do better than them." ”

"I am willing to serve Your Majesty, and I am willing to reimburse Daning!"

The emperor was silent for a while and then continued: "Actually, it is not the most important thing for me to canonize you as the top ten generals of the border army, many people say that for you, even the great competition of the armies has become a foil, but what I want to say today is that you are also a foil, in addition to canonizing ten of you, I also want to canonize six people as glorious generals. ”

The Emperor walked to the window and held his hand on the ledge.

"They are your predecessors and your role models, Tieliuli in the north, Pei Tingshan in the east, Kyushu in the west, Shi Yuanxiong in the south, Yuan Shu, the general of the forbidden army, and Zhuang Yong, the general of the sailors...... They are the Optimus Pillars of Daning, and they are also mine...... Brothers. ”

"May the glory of the border army be passed on from generation to generation!"

Seven men stood up and gave a solemn military salute.

"With the blood of the ministers, defend the glory of the border army!"

Seven young people didn't think about it, in fact, an era is over, and an era - has begun.
