Chapter 153 Female General (9)
Chapter 153 Female General (9)
Instantly, murderous intent filled the air.
This is the unique temperament of people who have been on the battlefield, and Shi Yue captured it in time.
She stretched out her hand to stop him from moving forward.
"what are you up to?"
Gao Ting lowered his head and looked at the arm across his chest.
"What do you think I'm going to do?"
Turning his head to meet her defensive gaze, he even doubted whether she would stand against him if he really took action.
Will you ask yourself to pay with your life?
"What if I want to kill him?"
He was never afraid of any threats, and the more opposition there was, the more he wanted to give it a try.
Shi Yue didn't understand where his hostility came from. She had already said that she liked Yuansheng.
He wants to kill him?
How is this any different from provoking her?
He drew the sword from his waist, and the sword reflected strong light in the sunlight.
The chill is overwhelming and aggressive.
"You can try."
He took a step back and pointed his sword at the person in front of him.
"You're going to fight me for him?"
They hadn't fought for a long time, and he almost forgot Shi Yue's abilities.
"Gao Ting, I don't want you to touch my bottom line again and again."
"He's mine, you can't touch him."
Gao Ting laughed in anger, "Then who am I to you?"
"When did your bottom line become so low? What the hell is that? Does he deserve it?"
It's ridiculous that a mere nobody is worthy of being her bottom line.
"You are someone I can fight with swords against, and I believe you will never hurt me."
"You're the one I'm at loggerheads with now, but we'll be back together tomorrow morning."
"You don't have to compare yourself with him. You are you and he is him. You and I are equally irreplaceable."
There are few opportunities to hear her heartfelt confession.
Between them, the words were all in the wine, and they were unspoken. There was no need to explain clearly, because they understood each other.
But she never said what position he held in her heart.
She was firm in her words and he believed her without a doubt.
Even though the sword was still pointed at him.
Gao Ting was suddenly reminded of the past by these words.
When he was fourteen years old, His Majesty took his concubines and ministers to the palace to escape the summer heat, and encountered a palace coup.
The virtuous concubine's maternal family rebelled and killed the crown prince, important ministers and others in the rebellion.
The emperor was shocked upon hearing this and fainted.
At that time, Gao Ting's father and brother returned to Beijing from the border to report on their work. They encountered a sudden palace coup, but they remained calm and collected. They concealed the truth from the public and transferred the soldiers stationed outside the palace to protect the emperor in time.
In one fell swoop, dozens of people including the father and brothers of the rebel leader, Concubine Xian, were captured.
After the emperor regained consciousness, he looked at the prince's body and executed those involved in the incident with tears in his eyes. At the same time, he imprisoned the son born to the virtuous concubine in the palace forever.
The royal heirs are fading and the emperor is old.
The next successor has not been identified.
At this time, Princess Shi Yue sent out a distress signal. The emperor, who had just experienced the pain of losing his son, realized that his niece was also in danger.
He quickly sent people to the back mountain to rescue.
There were not many people available at that time, and the guards in the palace were either killed in the coup or were all traitors.
Only Gao Ting and his son are available.
Naturally, Gao's father didn't need to go in person, but since it was the only bloodline of his deceased comrade, he still sent his eldest son to look for him, and told him to do his best as soon as possible.
Gao Ting volunteered to go with his brother.
He still remembers the first time he saw her in the back hills.
The sun was shining brightly at noon, and everything around was wilted by the sun.
Only she was refreshed and radiant, as if she was born to face the sun and was not afraid of the flames.
Her vitality is incredibly strong, even the current emperor who is still in his latent stage behind her cannot compare to her brilliance.
What happened next?
Because of her protection, the abandoned royal child who grew up in the cold palace turned around and became the crown prince.
He was registered by the Queen as her legitimate son.
Just one year later, the late emperor passed away and the crown prince succeeded to the throne, becoming the new master of the Shang Dynasty.
The Queen was promoted to Queen Mother, and considering that the Crown Prince was only fifteen years old, she took on the responsibility of ruling the country from behind the curtain.
In the past two years, His Majesty has become more powerful, and I believe he will be able to handle government affairs on his own soon.
And because of his meritorious service to the emperor, Shi Yue joined the army as soon as she came of age, and successfully took over the Shi family army in just three years.
He is now also one of the four commanders-in-chief at the border.
They had only met briefly a few times when they were in the capital, and they knew each other roughly of this person, but their friendship was not deep.
Later, she joined the army with the important task of building up the army. Influenced by his family's education, he was naturally kicked into the barracks.
Start from the beginning, from the bottom.
Step by step, relying on desperate fighting and the spirit of refusing to admit defeat, he made a name for himself in this remote place.
The garrison troops were guarding their positions, in similar camps, with similar lives and at similar ages.
Their familiarity came naturally.
However, young people are very arrogant, and they always have an ideal in their hearts that the sky is high enough for birds to fly and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap.
In the best years of your life, do the most passionate things in the world.
No one will submit to anyone else, they are all waiting for an opportunity.
An opportunity to determine victory or defeat.
Shi Yue moved first.
She was ordered to take over a group of defeated soldiers with no fighting spirit. This was not only of no benefit to the already established Shi family army, but also a hot potato.
It’s just that the emperor needs a stable and orderly front.
This is the first urgent problem that he needs to solve when he governs independently. If it can be solved perfectly, it will also help improve his credibility in the future.
It was just a matter of effort, and she would help him if she could. After all, he was a mentor who could help him even when he had no other choice but to withstand all the pressure.
But these people are difficult to manage.
Scattered soldiers are often distracted, with no fighting spirit, no combat effectiveness, and no discipline.
Unlike the Shi family army, who she knew well, she did not know their abilities, nor could she command them to obey her. There were countless people who pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed, which was a taboo in military orders.
Well, if they don't know each other, they can just go out for a walk.
As for soldiers, once they see the real thing, everything will become clear. You know I have the ability to manage you, so you have to listen to me; you know I have the ability to fight on the battlefield, so you have to use me.
She led everyone outside Gaoting's camp.
The selection of this person was also very particular. One of the other two was not fond of laughing by nature, and was known for being serious and not easy to mess with. The other was very old, in his seventies or eighties, and could be her great-grandfather, so he was not to be messed with.
There was only one unlucky guy left, Gao Ting.
Anyway, the two of them had been rubbing their hands together for a long time, eager to try and compete. She gave him this opportunity, and she didn't believe he wouldn't take it.
Sure enough, it works every time.
After the soldiers below finished competing, they couldn't help themselves.
Three games were decided.
Compare courage, wisdom and skills.
She was slightly better every time.
Even though he was not convinced, Gao Ting acknowledged her ability.
After all, he was a man who grew up reading military books, and his tactics were like a state of selflessness. They were superb, unexpected, and one thing led to another.
Every time he thought he was about to see through her tricks and finally get the upper hand, that was when he fell into her trap again.
The last time, they raided the main tent and captured him alive.
"Gaotin, you are mine."
These were the first words he heard after the knife was put to his neck.
Arrogant, arrogant, and confident.
