Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 188: A Man in Green Shirt and a Horse with Ten Thousand People Cheer

Xiao Mingyi stood up and walked over slowly. "No, you can come and go freely as you do now and enjoy the Queen Mother's blessing. Just don't interfere in the military affairs anymore."

"If I don't return to the battlefield, who will deal with Yue Cang?" Pei Nai asked him.

Xiao Mingyi was so angry that he laughed, "Gong Yang Zisheng, Han Ruize, Gu Jinheng, are they just eating for nothing?! There are so many generals and commanders of various armies, why do you have to charge in the front? They are not all dead yet."

"They can't beat Yue Cang. A million troops are not enough to defeat Yue Cang! You are asking countless people to die!" Pei Nai refuted him harshly.

Xiao Mingyi was furious and asked her, "Can you beat him? Look at your own arm. If you do it again, how much chance do you have of survival? Have you calculated it yourself?!"

"But I am the descendant of Zhubei Spear. I can't just stand by and watch. I can't stay in the back and enjoy the glory that the soldiers in the front bought with their blood. I must try." Pei Nai said firmly.

She stood up from the ground and refused to accept the order.

Xiao Mingyi looked at her movements, closed his eyes, and the blue veins on his forehead throbbed.

He calmed down and said, "Aunt, I can give you anything you want, but the Pei family's power is too great."

Pei Nai stood there motionless, her eyes full of disbelief, as if she no longer knew the person in front of her.

So is this the truth?
Maybe Pei Nai didn't listen to Zhou Mingfang's last words before his death thirteen years ago, but Xiao Mingyi took it to heart.

Good, very good. How could a qualified king not be wary of generals and ministers who are more powerful than him?

She almost forgot that the person in front of her was no longer the Xiao Mingyi whom she had personally rescued and raised, but the most honorable and glorious emperor in the entire Eastern Territory.

Only if he is on guard against even her can he be considered a truly ruthless and wise ruler.

Pei Nai suppressed his anger and sadness, and finally asked: "Our army has no commander. Who will make the decisions when we prepare for war?"

"I will issue an edict, ordering all branches of Tianyao's military and all its allies to make wartime preparations. At the same time, a wartime Imperial Decision Council will be established, composed of the leaders of each army. All war decisions will be decided by voting in the Imperial Decision Council." Xiao Mingyi replied.

Pei Nai nodded, then suddenly took two steps back, knelt on one knee and saluted.

"Once I chase the northern spears, I will shoulder the responsibility for the rest of my life! I will not close my eyes until the country is at peace. Please accept my orders and go to the battle. I am willing to protect the peace of the world with my body. From now on, the king and his subjects will never see each other again."

With tears in her eyes, she said, "I, Pei Nai, the commander of the Pei Family Army, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

The chief eunuch and the eunuch who read the imperial edict were both stunned.

Everyone could understand what Pei Nai meant. The Pei family army had never had a new commander-in-chief. As long as she could take over the Zhulong commander-in-chief seal, there was no need for an imperial decree. She would be the commander-in-chief of the Pei family army, and there would be no one else.

She signed a military warrant with her death, either dying on the battlefield, sacrificing her life for her country, or winning the war, but after the war she would resign and leave Chaoyang, never returning to the court or entering the palace again.

Her decision had been made. If he disobeyed her order this time, he could be killed or cut into pieces as he pleased.

Pei Nai resolutely stood up, turned around and left Qianming Palace.

She looked up at the flying eaves printed in the sky. The sky and the earth were actually tinged with purple. She smiled silently to herself and walked away from his magnificent building step by step.

Only the chief eunuch who had been waiting for orders in the palace knew.

After Pei Nai left that day, the emperor stood there for a full half hour without moving.

When Pei Nai left the palace, the crowd had dispersed and Chaoyang had returned to its usual order.

She rode her horse to the main square in the center of Chaoyang City.

After the Battle of Yagu ended that year, Zhou Weiguo and others brought the Zhubei Spear back to Kyoto. Since the Pei family spear had no descendants, the Zhubei Spear was returned to the country.

Gu Jinheng and Xiao Mingyi decided to hang the Zhubei Spear above the monument of heroes, so that people would commemorate and worship it on behalf of the ancestors of the Pei family and all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.

There are teams of soldiers taking turns guarding here day and night.

When it rains or encounters other bad weather, the Zhubei Gun will be temporarily taken back. It has been properly kept and carefully maintained for ten years. Fortunately, it is a bright sunny day today.

The Zhubei Gun was being hung in the square for people to admire.

Pei Nai dismounted, she explained the matter and the reason, and asked the guards to help lower the mechanism, and she needed to take away the Zhubei gun.

Even though the soldiers knew her identity, they did not dare to act on their own without receiving orders and looked at each other in bewilderment.

After all, this involves the Zhubei Gun. If it is lost, everyone will be held accountable and beheaded.

The commander of the soldiers asked her to wait for a moment and prepare to report to his superiors, and then report it up the chain of command, waiting for the emperor's approval.

Just then, Lin Shengtao arrived on horseback with a few others.

He handed over a document written by Gu Jinheng himself, with the special seal of Duke Duan Ding on it.

Gu Jinheng must have prepared it in advance a few days ago and sent it back to Chaoyang.

The leader of the soldiers read the document, confirmed that it was correct, and immediately bowed to accept the order, opened the mechanism, and slowly lowered the Zhubei Gun from a high altitude.

When the Zhubei spear fell on his chest, it suddenly stopped and Pei Nai took it off.

The moment she held it in her palm, she felt the cold touch of the gun and her blood began to boil.

If weapons had spirits, she felt that she could feel the joy that Zhubei Gun was feeling at that moment.

Even though she no longer had the Pei family's blood, Zhu Beiqiang recognized her in an instant.

The gun intent in Pei Nai's palm continued to penetrate into her skin and spread to her limbs and bones. It was the long-lost resonance between her and the Zhubei Gun.

Her spear was telling her that the spear spirit was immortal and had been waiting for ten years.

She wiped the tip and body of the gun with her hands, even though they were spotless.

The news that Pei Nai went to the central square to get the gun spread quickly. When she put the rifle on her back and was about to leave, many people from the military came.

Pei Nai felt that many of them looked familiar and could even call out their names.

They were wearing armor from other armies, and judging from their attire, most of them held high ranks, ranging from generals to captains.

Because she died in battle as the commander-in-chief ten years ago, the commander-in-chief Wan Yue Blood Whip Han Ruize retired, and the internal development of the Pei Family Army was restricted. Many ambitious soldiers left the Pei Family Army and served in various armies.

At this moment, the former soldiers of the Pei Family Army knelt down and saluted her with the Zhubei Spear on her back.

The sounds were sonorous and powerful, striking my heart.

"Your servant, Wang Yue, formerly the Lieutenant General of the Five Divisions of the Pei Family Army, has brought with him 21,232 former members of the Pei Family Army. I have now applied to be relieved of my military duties in the Northeast Frontier Army. Please allow me to return to the army!"

"Pan Ruan, the former lieutenant of the fourth division of the Pei family army, has now applied to be relieved of his military post in the Ministry of War. He is willing to serve the Pei family independent army and go to the battlefield together to kill Wu Man. Please allow me to enter the camp!"

"Wei Mingzhao, the former third officer of the Pei Family Army, and his 500 soldiers request to be reintegrated into the Pei Family Army. We have remained loyal for ten years and are willing to fight for the Pei Family once again!"

The sounds continued, Pei Nai's heart was in turmoil and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Lin Shengtao and the others stood aside and watched everything in front of them. He suddenly thought, which king would not be on guard against this? Pei Nai had always underestimated the influence of himself and Zhubei Gun on the army and the people.

Who wouldn't be shocked by this?

Pei Nai didn't even wear armor or military uniform today.

She just picked up the Zhubei Gun, and countless people came one after another, willing to gamble their lives for her.

She was alone in a place where she was surrounded by thousands of people.
