"This... Your Majesty, it doesn't matter how I got back. You don't need to ask. Just listen to me slowly. The reason behind this is hard to explain in a short time. Your Majesty just needs to remember that we are currently at war with the Southern Border. You are leading the army on a personal expedition, and General Su has now been appointed as the marshal of the Su Family Army."
The national teacher could only tell them these important things and then make further plans. Fortunately, this matter was almost resolved. Now both countries had ceased fighting. He could only watch over these two people and think of a way slowly. It wasn't easy for him to refine pills. Each time he needed to hold a ceremony and it would take at least three days. It was better to tell them these crucial points first to avoid ruining important matters.
"General Su is now the marshal of the Su Family Army? What about General Su Yu?" Si Junlin was most concerned about his original marshal.
"Oh, he was injured, so General Su personally requested to take his place. But Your Majesty doesn't need to panic now. General Su is extremely brave. By now, the Southern Border has been forced to ask for peace. I'm afraid the Great Elder Yuwen of the Southern Border will send a letter soon, stating that the Southern Border will become a vassal state of the Jin Kingdom. At that time, Your Majesty just needs to sign the peace - seeking letter and then we can take the Southern Border as a vassal state and return to the capital in triumph." The national teacher felt a bit guilty and in a hurry, he rambled on a bunch of things.
Si Junlin suddenly felt a headache. What on earth was going on? Why did it seem like he had just slept and then he was leading a personal expedition? And there was an additional vassal state, the Southern Border? This was simply absurd. He couldn't help but go out to find out. But when he lifted the curtain of the tent, he found that he was indeed in the military camp. The military tents were lined up one after another. There were at least 100,000 troops. With such a grand formation, could it be that a real war had taken place?
"May I ask why the national teacher knows so clearly? Was it really me who led the troops to fight? Why don't I remember anything?" Su Wan'er was even more shocked. She clearly... clearly, as a girl waiting to be married, she was complaining every day that she couldn't go to war to relieve her father and brother's burden. How could she become a marshal?
"Marshal, don't panic, don't panic. It seems that the marshal is over - fatigued. Go and rest early, rest early." The national teacher knew that he didn't have the ability to restore the memories of the past two or three years to these two people, and he couldn't solve this problem in a short time. So it was better to cover it up and flee in a hurry. He quickly returned to his own tent to think of a way.
Fortunately, near noon, Elder Yuwen did send a letter.
Si Junlin, after receiving the letter, still knew that as the king, he should always prioritize the interests of the Jin Kingdom. Such a great opportunity should not be missed. Naturally, he wanted to take the Southern Border as a vassal state. So he didn't hesitate to sign the letter and then issued an oral edict to announce a celebration in the whole army.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty." Although Su Wan'er was also confused, she was naturally happy about such good news.
"Alas, I don't even know what's going on. It seems that this is all thanks to General Su. General Su really deserves a great reward."
"However, isn't Your Majesty curious? I heard that the ruling family in the Southern Border has always been the Long Family. Why was this letter sent by Elder Yuwen? But the etiquette of sending the letter is the highest in the Southern Border. Others who are not in power don't have such a grand occasion. Could it be that there has been a regime change in the Southern Border? Why didn't we receive any news in the Jin Kingdom?"
"Miss? Miss, you're confused. Elder Yuwen is most familiar with you. Soon, Miss Xiaojiu will marry into their family. At that time, he will even be your son - in - law. Why are you talking such nonsense now?" Qingcao was puzzled on the side. She was about to touch her young lady's forehead to see if she had a fever. But the national teacher beside her sensed that something was wrong and immediately stopped her.
"Hey, girl, in the army, you should address the marshal. How could you forget such basic etiquette? Moreover, the marshal and His Majesty are discussing important matters between the two countries. How could you butt in? Hurry up and get out of here."
Su Wan'er was very puzzled. Her maid was scolded like this. If it weren't for the fact that the person was the national teacher, she really would have argued. In the army, there were only subordinates, no slaves or maids. Qingcao being scolded like this really made her feel uncomfortable.
After the celebration, a victory banquet was held in the army. Su Wan'er couldn't hold her liquor well. Just as she was about to go back to her tent to rest, suddenly a girl came towards her. She was very beautiful, but her figure was very slender.
Su Wan'er was wondering why she had never seen this girl before. Generally, family members were not allowed in the army. Whose maid or relative was this that some general had brought in privately?
"General Su, may I ask where Uncle Emperor is now? I want to go and toast him to thank him for helping me and also the Southern Border."
"Uncle Emperor? Which princess are you? Why do you want to thank His Majesty for helping the Southern Border?" Su Wan'er was even more confused. Who on earth was this person?
Fortunately, the national teacher showed up halfway and pulled Xiaojiu away. Su Wan'er was still wondering, but she had drunk a few more cups of wine just now and now she had a headache. So she quickly went back to prepare for a rest. She didn't know that on this side, the national teacher had a long explanation with Long Xiaojiu to calm down the curiosity of this little girl.
"Uncle, why did you stop me?" "Now the Southern Border is so stable. Although there are still some people among the common people who are not convinced, at least they have settled down. Shouldn't we thank Uncle Emperor properly?" Xiaojiu seemed full of enthusiasm and must thank Su Wan'er.
"I... Uncle forgot to tell you. They have switched back." The national teacher seemed to have a lot of troubles on his mind. This matter was getting more and more troublesome.
"Switched back?" Xiaojiu was surprised. "Then wasn't that person just now Uncle Emperor? Oh, no... It was! Right, General Su is back. Then when I thank him, you shouldn't stop me."
"First listen to Uncle. Although they have switched back, there has been a little problem in the middle. Now, even if you thank him, he can't accept it. He doesn't need your thanks at all now." But he didn't expect that just a little problem on his part would cause such a big impact. But he had already forgotten how he put the potion in the jar that day. Where could he find the reason now?
"Can't accept it? Why? I just want to express my gratitude. Besides, General Su may not care about any property. The Jin Kingdom is much richer than the Southern Border. I don't need to bring anything to embarrass her. Uncle doesn't need to worry." Long Xiaojiu seemed to guess that her uncle was worried that she would bring money or things and embarrass General Su.
"No, no. Oh, my Xiaojiu, don't cause trouble for Uncle here. These two people have lost some of their memories. They don't remember you anymore, nor do they remember all these things about the Southern Border. Now let Uncle quickly find some time to think of a way. Otherwise, when we return to the capital in triumph one day, it will be even more troublesome in the capital. All the civil and military officials are watching, and there is also the Empress Dowager in the palace. What should we do?"
