Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 1039: Win or lose on the battlefield!

 A soldier stood outside the tent and shouted loudly, "Master Marquis, there is a large group of barbarians rushing into the camp!"

Li Laosi didn't care about anything, just put his long bow on his back, held a long knife in his hand, got on his horse and led his men out to kill the enemy.

The court was in chaos, and he was not familiar with it and was not good at intrigues, but he killed the enemy with a pinch of his fingers!

 Leave complex matters to smart people like Mr. Hou.

　Leave it to him to kill the enemy.

It just so happened that he had gone out to meet the grain transport team before and hadn't encountered any barbarians for more than ten days. His long sword was already thirsty. Let's drink the sword with the blood of barbarians tonight!

Mu Jue rushed out from nowhere, also wearing armor and holding a spear in his hand. He ran fast beside his future father-in-law and said loudly, "Four Masters, I'm here to help you. Let's see who kills the barbarian tonight." There are so many!”

 “What a good boy, you are very brave, but you don’t know what you are capable of?” Li Laosi laughed, “Let’s go, let’s see the real results on the battlefield!”

 The two men rushed out of the military camp one after another and led the 500 vanguard troops into the night...

 The sky is too clear during the day, and there are stars everywhere at night.

Perhaps I don’t want to see the flames of war in the world at this moment, the stars have closed their eyes...

In less than half an hour, the barbarians retreated after losing hundreds of lives.

Li Laosi and Mu Jue also brought their soldiers back to the camp. Thirty-five were killed in the battle and more than 20 were slightly or seriously injured. Even Li Laosi was scratched on his arm.

Jiang Cheng heard that he personally delivered the wound medicine to the main tent and said with a smile, "The princess is very careful. This time the grain truck contained five carts of medicinal materials. The finished wound medicine weighed more than 20 kilograms, which is enough for us to last two days." It’s been months.”

Li Laosi didn't care about such a small wound. After washing the blood stains in the basin, he put down his sleeves and said, "Leave the medicine for the wounds. If I don't treat my small injury, it will last three to five days." It’s so neat.”

"How can it be done?" Jiang Cheng disagreed and urged, "The princess is most worried about you and the Marquis when she delivers the medicine. If she knew that you were unwilling to use it, the princess would definitely be annoyed and anxious."

Li Laosi also smiled when he remembered that his daughter had asked him over and over again before setting off for the expedition.

Mu Jue quickly applied medicine to him, and finally wrapped his arm with a white cotton tape.

Li Laosi breathed a sigh of relief and praised, "My daughter is really good. She figured out this medicine and it won't hurt so much when she sprinkles it on her."

Mu Jue smiled and said, "The Fourth Master is wrong. This is a prescription that Divine Doctor Zhang worked out and prepared in the princess's medicine shop. If Divine Doctor Zhang finds out, I'm afraid he will blow his beard and glare again."

“Haha,” Li Laosi laughed, “Don’t be afraid, Mr. Zhang is my daughter’s master, and his prescriptions are my daughter’s. He just knows that, so I just brought him two jars of good wine and settled the matter.”

 Everyone also laughed.

 After a while, Li Laosi and Jiang Cheng were going to have a rest.

Jiang Cheng called Mu Jue, "My tent is relatively big. Can you stay with me tonight?"

Mu Jue shook his head and replied, "I live here with the Marquis. I can just throw a mat at the door and deal with it. If the barbarians attack again at night, I want to kill them again."

"This kid may not be big, but he's quite murderous!" Jiang Cheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, but didn't insist anymore, "Well, you can sleep here. Get up tomorrow morning and try the food in our camp. Porridge!"

 After saying that, he left with Li Laosi.

The marquis went behind the curtain, took out a wolfskin mattress and threw it to Mu Jue.

Mu Jue got into the curtain directly, spread the wolf skin mattress beside the bed, lay down on it, and yawned loudly. Just when the Marquis thought he was going to sleep, he suddenly spoke. "Master Hou, there is no good end for someone who has great achievements. What if that person...can't tolerate you? What are you going to do? I think there is nothing wrong with leading troops back to Jiangnan and letting Tianwu change his master."

“At least you won’t worry about your loved ones being killed by someone’s order. Only when you have the butcher knife in your own hands can you truly feel at ease, right?”

The Marquis stretched out his hand to lift the quilt, lay down on the bed, and was silent for a long time before responding.

“As long as the Northern Expedition is successful and Jiangbei is recaptured, my wish will be fulfilled. That person wants unparalleled achievements, eternal fame, and even my life, so just take it, it doesn’t matter.

“If it weren’t for the adventure I had, I would have died on the road long ago. The rest of my life will be picked up, and I’m not greedy.

“As for the Li family and other close relatives, if I had not died, they might have been in danger, but if I had died, they would have been extremely safe and even honored.

"Tianwu has been slaughtered by war for more than ten years, and I don't want to let Jiangnan become a river of blood just because of me. The injustice or resentment of one person is nothing compared with the peace of millions of people."

Mu Jue felt sour in his chest when he heard this, "Before coming here, I mentioned these words to the princess, and the princess also said that you would not agree to fight back to Jiangnan. I am still not convinced, but now it seems that the princess understands you."

The Marquis laughed silently, feeling very happy when he thought of his daughter who was thousands of miles away.

"That girl is too smart and can't hide anything from her. After you go back, don't say too much to avoid worrying about her. No one can predict what will happen in the future. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will try my best to go back safely. I also want to Get her married in person!"

Mu Jue remained silent, knowing that it would be useless to persuade him.

“Master Hou, you are the only hero I have ever seen in my life.”

The Marquis turned over and said in a very calm voice, "Heroes are admired by the world, but they are destined to be worthy of the world, but they only failed to live up to the expectations and thoughts of their families. That's why I chose you to be the princess's best friend. people.

"It's because you are unique and not bound by the world. You only have eyes for the closest people and have no righteousness. As a father, I feel most at ease when I entrust my daughter to you."

Mu Jue choked up and accepted the "praise" for the time being.

“Don’t worry, Lord Marquis, the princess is the first in my heart at any time. Even you, if we are in danger together with the princess, I will save the princess first.”

 “Always remember your words tonight and go to sleep.”

The Marquis said nothing again, and the camp became quiet, with only the occasional footsteps of patrols coming from outside...

　　No matter what happens in the dark night, whether sad or joyful, the sun will still rise.

 A new day is coming, the poor are struggling to make ends meet, and the rich are racking their brains to keep their wealth.

At another court meeting, the courtiers headed by the Minister of Rites once again asked the emperor to establish a prince as soon as possible.

The emperor was still noncommittal and asked with a smile, "I also know what my dear friends are thinking. Now there are dozens of books piled up on my desk. I will make a decision in the near future. My dear friends, just wait patiently."

The Minister of Civil Affairs is an old fox. For some reason, seeing the Emperor like this, he always feels unsure.

So, he decisively changed the topic and talked about offering sacrifices and praying for rain. As a result, the Minister of Rites still did not give up and immediately followed, "Please also ask the emperor to appoint a prince as soon as possible. When the prince presides over the rain praying ceremony, he will surely move the heavens and send the descendants to heaven." "Ganlin."

The emperor still smiled, got up and went back to the back hall, forgetting about the court meeting.

The Minister of Official Affairs glanced at the Minister of Rites coldly, said nothing, and took the lead to go out.
