Chapter 160: The Zhou Family Name in My Heart
There were only the two of them in Han Yaojun's tent. Chu Xi came to see Han Yaojun without avoiding others and came frankly. However, she did not let others stay to listen to what she had to say.
To put it bluntly, in this military camp, except Chu Er, there are more than 30 people selected by the Loyalty and Brave Marquis Mansion, and she doesn't trust anyone else.
Han Yaojun was stunned for a moment by Chu Xi's frank statement, but he did not refute, but nodded seriously.
"Don't worry, I know. I will change all the deployments immediately. The new defense map and troop deployment will never be known to anyone except me."
After this incident, his trust in Chu Xi was at least 50%, but perhaps not completely...
But he believed that the heir trained by the old marquis would not be a scheming person who only cared about fighting for the throne and power and ignored the lives of the people and the territory of the Great Zhou.
Chu Xi nodded seriously to Han Yaojun, "I have heard of the reputation of the Han family in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I believe in the people trained by the Han family, and I also believe in General Han's belief in protecting the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Han Yaojun saw Chu Xi in a moon-white suit made of luxurious silk, which looked like brocade clothes produced in the capital. He nodded back at Chu Xi and couldn't help but ask another question.
"Do you have something important to go out for today?"
Chu Xi had no intention of telling Han Yaojun what she was going to do until things were confirmed.
"Well, there is something that we must investigate in the city first, and the general needs to keep this a secret."
Han Yaojun probably guessed why Chu Xi appeared in Xi'an at this time, and why he was able to stop the Eighth Prince from joining forces with the two countries of Western Chu and Japan in time.
It was because he had roughly guessed that Chu Xi was going to leave the military camp that made him worry.
This matter...may not be over yet.
"Is it serious?"
"This concerns the life and death of the people in Xi'an City, and even the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. I must go and verify it." Chu Xi was not exaggerating.
In the original plot, the war eventually broke out, even though it only officially began three years later.
But after experiencing all the things that happened before, Chu Xi discovered a pattern: the plot nodes that this world should go through will definitely happen, sooner or later.
With her intervention, the war that should have broken out in this world in three years was suddenly and quietly captured by four cities, and the Great Zhou Dynasty barely reacted.
Now that she has taken action ahead of time, it seems that the possibility has been cut off, but 484 once said that he must complete the key plot nodes!
In other words, what is going to happen is going to happen, and this battle will not stop just because she captures Sun Changfan and stops them from destroying the river dam.
At least, since ancient times, invaders who truly coveted the territory of other countries would never give up their plans so easily.
Zhou Hanjin had indeed already secretly been in contact with Western Chu, Japan, and even the eastern grasslands, and had made plans.
But now that the plan has been set, no matter whether the Eighth Prince succeeds or not, they have already coveted the Great Zhou and will never give up easily because of one or two failures!
Upon hearing this, Han Yaojun immediately sat up straight. He didn't know whether he should fully trust Chu Xi, who supported Zhou Yichen in his bid for the throne.
For this reason, after listening to Chu Xi's words, his slender fingers bent unconsciously and tapped the table lightly, one after another.
The sharp and scrutinizing gaze repeatedly moved back and forth on Chu Xi's face, a young man who was not even 18 years old, with clear and elegant eyebrows and eyes, a firm gaze, dressed in brocade clothes, tall and slender, with an elegant temperament that could not be concealed.
"Chu Qibai, I don't believe you who are participating in the fight for the throne, but I believe in the old marquis, your grandfather, who once followed the late emperor through life and death and protected the people of the Great Zhou countless times."
Han Yaojun paused, stood up suddenly, and spoke word by word.
"I believe that the prince of the Marquisate, who was trained by the old Marquis, will not be a person who only cares about the immediate interests and power. I believe that you have your own ambitions, will consider the overall situation, and have the people of the Great Zhou in your heart!"
These words were actually said specifically for Chu Xi to hear.
No matter how much he trusted the old marquis, it was based on the friendship between his elders and the old marquis, but he could not trust Chu Xi wholeheartedly after all.
For this reason, he could only emphasize his words, hoping that Chu Xi could understand that he represented not only the Third Prince Zhou Yichen, but also the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion!
Chu Xi nodded, "Of course, letting innocent people get dragged into the war and witness the tragedy of the world would be a shame for all the soldiers of the Great Zhou."
She paused, and added with a firm look in her eyes, "It is also a shame for the Loyal and Brave Marquisate and me."
She now represents the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion.
"Okay, I'll approve this leave. I hope you can give me an explanation when you come back." Han Yaojun didn't know if his decision was right or not, but he knew he was taking a gamble!
Chu Xi nodded to Han Yaojun to express his gratitude, then turned and left the tent.
The steps were steady and slightly hurried, and it was obvious that there was something important that needed to be confirmed!

The capital city was also in turmoil at this time.
The fight that has never calmed down seems to be surfacing more and more as time goes by, and everything has reached a heated level.
Emperor Tianwu did not like military generals to have too much power. After the prince of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and Jiang Zhenyao exchanged their engagement letters, the news of their upcoming wedding spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.
Emperor Tianwu in the deep palace has had a gloomy face for several days in a row. Even when he entered the harem, he mainly tortured people. None of the concubines who slept with him got off the dragon bed intact.
The news spread quickly. There were no secrets in the deep palace, especially such a tacit secret. It spread quickly to the ears of court officials and princes as if it had wings.
As for Zhou Yichen, who has always been unpopular, he has been neglected and ridiculed during this period, even though he had made great contributions in Yunzhou not long ago.
However, due to Emperor Tianwu's self-righteousness and suspicion, he once again began his days on the bench.
Zhou Yichen had long been accustomed to it. He didn't care about Emperor Tianwu's attitude. Compared to his father's favor, he cared more about something else.
Zhou Yichen soon received news about what happened in the Xi'an City garrison camp. He and the Eighth Prince learned about the series of events that took place in the Xi'an military camp at almost the same time.
These things made him even more angry, and at the same time he was worried about Qi Bai's current situation.
He ruined Lao Ba's plan, and I'm afraid Lao Ba already hates Qi Bai in his heart. As long as there is a loophole that Lao Ba can take advantage of, he will never let it go easily.
Like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark bushes, Zhou Yichen couldn't help but worry about Qi Bai's situation.
For this reason, he asked someone to submit a memorial the next day.
The content of the memorial was that Xi'an City suffered from floods every year. He was worried that the people of Xi'an City would complain, and hoped that the court could send capable officials to assist local officials in rebuilding the river dam higher.
