Fighting Bloody Battles To Defend The Border, The Love-Brained Empress Ordered The Troops To Withdraw? - Chapter 16

“These damn barbarians keep harassing us. They are such damned bastards. Why don’t we send a meteorite down from the sky to kill them all!”

From a distance, Li Yunfei heard the angry curses of the military inspector Hu Leqi.

He obviously hated these barbarians.

When he got close to Li Yunfei, he continued to curse: “Originally, I had important matters to deal with and could not take care of you, General Li, but when I heard that you were a barbarian, I could not sit still.”

“Son of a b***h, son of a b***h!”

“I never thought that it was these sons of b***hes who ruined my plan.”

“I just said it, why is there no movement?”

“It turns out to be a barbarian son of a b**ch.”

Hu Leqi grabbed Li Yunfei’s arm and continued to curse the barbarians at Li Yunfei: “Your Majesty is about to marry the barbarian prince Tuoba Hao.”

“The two sides are about to conclude a Qin-Jin friendship.”

“But these barbarians are still wild and difficult to tame. They openly invaded our village outside Shanhe City. How short-sighted!”

“Sure enough, there aren’t many people with brains among the barbarians!”

Li Yunfei actually disagreed with some of the opinions expressed by Hu Leqi, but seeing his hatred towards the barbarians, Li Yunfei didn’t say much.

After inviting Hu Leqi to the general’s mansion, he asked him to sit down and said, “Sir, the military supervisor, I asked you to come here this time because I have something I want to ask you.”

“Originally, I should have visited him in person.”

“However, I am worried that if I bring someone with me, it will cause rumors and affect your reputation. That is why I must invite you to come. I hope you don’t mind.”

Hu Leqi immediately said, “Why would I mind?”

“General Li is a favorite of His Majesty. I envy His Majesty’s care and love for you.”

“I may need General Li’s help in speaking for me at some point in the future. Now General Li just wants me to come over. If I hadn’t been so busy and couldn’t spare the time, I would have come here a long time ago.”

“I hope General Li doesn’t mind.”

This is the thing Li Yunfei is most reluctant to mention.

He came to rule Shanhe City, hoping to rely on strength and the people’s hearts, rather than the messy things between him and the Empress Xiao Mingzhao.

It is not a good thing for the Dayu Dynasty that a general guarding the pass is involved with the current empress.

The topic was immediately changed and avoided.

He said, “I had a lot of doubts about you today, but after seeing your attitude towards the barbarians, I know that you also hate the barbarians. My doubts about you have basically disappeared.”

“It’s just that this is a serious matter and we have to figure it out.”

“Now……”

Before Li Yunfei finished speaking, Hu Leqi rushed to say: “Actually, I don’t completely hate the barbarians.”

“Although I have been at the border for many years, I have a good impression of the barbarians, especially since Your Majesty is going to marry the sixth prince of the barbarians, Tuoba Hao. From now on, our Dayu Dynasty and the barbarians will become one family.”

“Why would this officer still have ill will towards the barbarians?”

Hu Leqi said: “This time, I really hate these small barbarian forces.”

“They barged in rudely and disrupted the message I sent to Adele, causing Adele to ignore me for many days.”

“It makes me anxious like an ant on a hot pot, running around in circles.”

“That’s why I couldn’t control my emotions and yelled at the barbarians.”

It seemed that because Empress Xiao Mingzhao was going to marry the barbarian Tuoba Hao, Hu Leqi expressed his attitude towards the barbarians very clearly, for fear of offending the Empress.

But these words were like a bomb to Li Yunfei’s ears!

Li Yunfei quickly captured several key words from Hu Leqi’s words.

“Adele!”

“information!”

Especially the information!

The first thing Li Yunfei thought of was to secretly release smoke signals to convey information.

so……

Are Zhao Xun’s accusations true?

There is not even the slightest deviation?!

The culprit who secretly released the signal smoke and disrupted the warning message, causing many small groups of barbarians to invade the villages and towns around Shanhe City, causing countless people to fall into the sea of ​​​​war, was the military supervisor Hu Leqi? !

Li Yunfei calmed his mind.

“Someone reported to me that someone has been secretly setting off signal fire in recent days. I have been trying to find out who this person is.”

“So, this person is the Military Supervisor?”

When saying the words “Military Inspector and Censor”, Li Yunfei subconsciously clenched his teeth, and the sound almost came out from between his teeth.

There is a chilling and murderous atmosphere.

However, Hu Leqi did not seem to feel it, and immediately said: “Yes, it is me.”

“It was me who set off the signal smoke.”

“But, it would be meaningless to say that it is released privately, right?”

“I am the military inspector, an official appointed by the imperial court. How can setting off some signal smoke be considered private?”

“This is my official duty.”

“that is……”

He looked heartbroken and said, “It was destroyed by the barbarians.”

“The barbarians destroyed my love for Adele.”

“They are a bunch of barbarians who don’t understand my sincerity!”

“You don’t understand romance at all!”

The atmosphere in the general’s mansion suddenly became depressing.

Including Li Yunfei, the other generals all looked stern in an instant, with surging anger boiling in their eyes.

The momentum is as powerful as thunder.

But it was covered in silence.

Only Hu Leqi was still chattering: “I have long been in love with Adele, the widow of the barbarian merchant. I think about her day and night and can’t sleep at night.”

“I have finally established a friendship with Adele, but the gap between the Han people and the barbarians prevents me from going to the barbarians in person and staying with Adele all the time.”

“I am deeply sorry.”

“In order to convey my deep love for Adele, I spent a lot of money to buy signal fire and set it off to express my love to her.”

As he said this, Hu Leqi became excited.

He even ran over and wanted to pat Li Yunfei on the shoulder, so that Li Yunfei could empathize with him and understand how hard but determined his love was.

He was not annoyed, but rather beamed with joy, saying, “After exchanging letters with Adele, I still feel that I cannot express my deep affection for her.”

“So we bought crystal ore from Southern Xinjiang at a high price and used it to burn it into a signal smoke.”

“I set off signal smoke every day.”

“Every day at noon, a single smoke signal was sent to her: I have finished washing and I miss you.”

“Every day at noon, two smoke signals were sent to her: I can’t eat, I miss you.”

“Three smoke signals at dusk every day convey to her: My quilt is cold, I miss you!”

At this point, Hu Leqi was stunned.

Looking at Li Yunfei, he asked, “General Li, do you think that if I do this, Madam Adele will be able to feel my deep love for her?”
