Chapter 124

Dakang Dynasty, 23rd year of Jiayuan, the 4 countries on the Southern Frontier suddenly united to attack the country, and the war was urgent!

The domestic generals each carried important matters on the frontier. Qin Yuan had no one to use, so he had to invite Lu Zhenting, who had been demoted 17 years ago for disobeying the edict and refusing to marry, to come out of the mountains to assist the Young General Pei Zhaoyang to break the enemy.

Who would have thought that Lu Zhenting would go from the Lingnan mountain area to the Southern Frontier in less than a month, and then submit a memorial to impeach Pei Zhaoyang, making Qin Yuan punish Pei Zhaoyang for the crime of coveting wine and sex and delaying military aircraft.

Afterwards, Lu Zhenting led the troops to break the joint attack of the 4 frontier countries! Among the soldiers, there were many who charged into the battle and made military exploits. Among them, the first was the centurion Lin Tiezhu!

Lin Tiezhu not only killed 50,000 enemies to deter one side, but even pulled out the culprit of the frontier war, personally detained a group of criminals, and sent them to the capital!

Qin Yuan was overjoyed and named Lin Tiezhu as the Piaoji Young General, with a rank comparable to the Three Dukes.

In the court, Lin Tiezhu pressed the 5 culprits who were detained and knelt on the ground, and handed over the confession document of these five people!

Eunuch Gao hunched his body and presented a long confession document to the Emperor sitting on the dragon chair.

A group of ministers stood at Taihe Hall, pointing at the 5 disheveled criminals.

"I heard that these 5 people are all members of the royal family of the small frontier countries..."

"These 4 small frontier countries actually dared to attack our country's border together. It can be seen that there are insiders!"

"These 5 criminals, why are there women...?"

The ministers discussed, and their eyes were placed on the criminals, and the Minister of Justice's eyes were like sharp blades, sweeping back and forth on the 5 criminals, and finally fell directly on the only female criminal!

The female criminal knelt straight on the cold stone bricks. She met the Minister of Justice's gaze, but what she revealed was a look of being safe and sound.

The current Dali Temple Minister Song Shijie was already the backbone of the imperial court. Although he was over forty, his eyes were still sharp. He saw that he was also staring at the female criminal, and a pair of eagle eyes seemed to see through the female criminal!

When he noticed that the Minister of Justice Wen Yushu was very concerned about the female criminal, he couldn't help but look at Wen Yushu again: Obviously, the Minister of Justice knew this female criminal!

Besides them, there were many ministers who were very concerned about the female criminal, just because she looked quite like the woman who beat the drum and complained back then!

However, Song Shijie knew very well: This enemy female criminal would definitely not have any connection with his adopted younger sister.

Afterwards, he exchanged a glance with Lin Tiezhu, and then nodded in approval. At this time, his face softened a little, and Lin Tiezhu also returned him a respectful smile, and even bowed to him slightly.

And Prime Minister Su and Pei Aosong in the court stood in place, looking straight at the young Piaoji General Lin Tiezhu.

Lin Tiezhu was only about seventeen, wearing Piaoji iron armor. Under the iron armor, solid muscles could be vaguely seen. Although young, his height was already over seven feet. He was heroic and stood in the center of Taihe Hall like a green pine, looking like a majestic young general!

On his well-defined face, he had a pair of phoenix eyes with a lot of evil spirit. The more he looked, the more familiar Su Hongtu and Pei Aosong felt.

Prime Minister Su couldn't help but look at Pei Aosong, and then compared it with Lin Tiezhu's face repeatedly: This young Piaoji General's appearance was exactly the appearance of Pei Aosong when he was young!?

He even vaguely saw the shadow of his daughter Su Wanqiu from the lower half of Lin Tiezhu's face!

"Like... really too like..." The more Prime Minister Su compared with Pei Aosong, the more he felt that their faces were as similar as father and son!

At this time, Qin Yuan sitting on the dragon chair had already finished reading the confession document. He raised his brows and looked at the criminals kneeling on the hall, and suddenly realized that one of the female criminals was looking directly at him with a pair of almond eyes!

The woman was about forty, but she was wearing the clothes of a military prostitute. After a long journey of detention, she was disheveled and her clothes were black and damaged. But even so, it could be seen that she should have been a beauty in the past!

"Bold Southern Frontier criminal woman, how dare you look directly at the Emperor of the Dakang Dynasty!" Eunuch Gao said with a raised voice, and gave a look to Xiaofangzi on the side. Xiaofangzi understood and quickly walked to the criminal woman's side, regardless of anything, and slapped her a few times!

But the criminal woman was someone who would rather die than submit. After being beaten, blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

After spitting out the blood in her mouth, she raised her eyes again and stared at the Emperor, sneered and said: "Qin Yuan, it has been twenty-three years, do you still remember me, Rouyi?"

Qin Yuan, sitting on the dragon chair, was stunned when he heard this!

Twenty-three years had passed. He was no longer the young Crown Prince of that year. After ascending the throne for 23 years, he had also had days when he missed his white moonlight Rouyi, but compared with Lin Jiaojiao whom he met later, he obviously had a deeper memory of Lin Jiaojiao!

For no other reason, just because Lin Jiaojiao was the woman he had never obtained from beginning to end!

Not to mention, she died in his arms!

Every time he thought of Lin Jiaojiao closing her eyes in his arms back then, he felt as if it was yesterday, and he was heartbroken!

Even if he met women with similar looks later, they were all taken into the harem, and after being favored for a period of time, he lost interest.

First, no one could match Lin Jiaojiao's brilliant medical skills. Even the Empress Dowager, who was old now, still missed her medical skills.

Second, she suffered a poisonous hand in the Imperial Palace and died, which was really a pain in his heart!

In contrast, the military criminal Rouyi kneeling in the court, even if she was his white moonlight in his youth, because of her identity as an enemy country's accomplice, caused countless deaths and injuries to frontier soldiers, and her crimes were unforgivable!

The ripples that Qin Yuan's white moonlight stirred up in his heart gradually dissipated, and soon returned to calm.

On the hall, several ministers who were familiar with his experience in the Crown Prince period bowed their hands, wanting to speak but stopping. Qin Yuan half-closed his eyes, as if seeing her about to be punished.

He said playfully: "Of course I remember. Back then, Rouyi was found to be the princess of the Southern Frontier Miao Kingdom, and the Ministry of Justice had already made a judgment."

"Even if you are really Rouyi, so what?"
