Chapter 248: The General's Daughter

Shen Yu stared at Zhao Junning, who was dressed in military uniform and looked heroic, and was secretly amazed. If he hadn't known that Zhao Junning had been waiting to be married since she was a child and had rarely gone out, he would have almost thought that the person in front of him was a female general who had been on the battlefield for a long time! Zhao Junning walked towards Shen Yu with firm steps and said solemnly: "Sir Shen, please make sure to stabilize the people's hearts!"

Shen Yu nodded quickly and responded: "Okay! I understand."

Then, Zhao Junning turned around, mounted her horse, and galloped away, heading straight for Li's house. When Gancao, Fuling, and Xu Zhiwan saw Zhao Junning dressed like this, they were all stunned for a moment. Then, Xu Zhiwan said with deep emotion: "She is really Xiangning's daughter!" Xu Zhiwan had not been to the battlefield for a long time, and seeing Zhao Junning's appearance at this moment, she couldn't help but recall the past.

Zhao Junning nodded slightly to show her agreement. Then, she turned to Gancao and said, "Gancao, leave from the west gate immediately and go to Liangzhou to borrow troops. Maybe Zhou Aoyang will have returned with his troops before you arrive in Liangzhou."

Licorice nodded respectfully and agreed. Zhao Junning glanced at Xu Zhiwan, Fuling, and Li Yu'an in Xu Zhiwan's arms, and then resolutely stepped out of the mansion. She turned over and jumped onto the warhorse, her movements as natural and smooth as flowing water, which made Xu Zhiwan beside her feel a sense of déjà vu.

When they arrived at the city gate, Zhao Junning rode her horse to the front of the garrison. Everyone was still surprised to see that it was Zhao Junning, but they also believed that this woman had her own abilities.

The army led by Lu Wu was getting closer and closer to Zhao Junning, and stopped at a distance of thirty miles. He was a little surprised to see Zhao Junning, "Madam Li is really an amazing woman. She is good at doing business. I didn't expect that she can lead troops to fight?"

Zhao Junning said, "How can a daughter of a general not have some abilities? Isn't it the same with Master Lu? He looks like a weak scholar, but I didn't expect that he can lead troops in battle?"

Lu Wu said, "It's funny. It seems that you and Madam Li have met no more than ten times. But why was Madam Li so wary of me when we first met? Have we met before?"

Zhao Junning said: "Maybe, isn't Mr. Lu also surprised to see me?"

Lu Wu smiled, but he still couldn't figure it out. Zhao Junning said, "Mr. Lu, are you working for Master Qin? I wonder what kind of relationship you have with Master Qin that would make you risk your life for him?"

Lu Wu said: "Perhaps we have the same fate."

Pingliang, Xiao Zhengshu was furious when he learned that Qin Zhuoyuan had transferred 200,000 soldiers and horses. "Master Qin, you are a minister. To put it nicely, you are my brother's teacher and my teacher. To put it bluntly, you are just a slave. How dare you transfer soldiers and horses without my permission?"

Qin Zhuoyuan was not afraid of Xiao Zhengshu at all. "Your Majesty, I can make you sit on this position, but I can also make you fall. As an emperor, you don't think about how to consolidate your position and spend all day in debauchery. How do you think the late emperor unified the thirteen states? Jingzhou is the second largest treasury of the Wei Dynasty. If you don't accept it, how long do you think you can sit on this position? Are you sitting safely?"

Xiao Zhengshu was frightened by Qin Zhuoyuan's words and sat down. Qin Zhuoyuan said: "Yes, I am a servant, but it was this servant who allowed you to ascend the throne. Now that you are His Majesty, you can give up your servant."

Qin Zhuoyuan turned away with a wave of his sleeves. Xiao Zhengshu was trembling with fear, but he still told himself, "This world belongs to me. Who dares not to listen to me?"
