Chapter 128 Outstanding talent of the world (2)
“When have your gut become so small?” Zhao Zimu laughed.
Lin Qing was dumbstruck for a moment. Then, he lowered his head and took a bite on her neck. He said evilly, “My gut has always been this small!”
The skin on her neck had been broken. Now, anyone could see it.
Very well, Zhao Zimu pressed down his waist with a faint smile and then explored his private parts. At the moment that his eyes widened, she pulled him down and kissed his lips.
“You have to take care…”
Because of Lin Qing own reason, the position of the two in bed had always been equal. Lin Qing also didn’t mind that Zhao Zimu climbed over the law of behavior. If it was another man, the situation wouldn’t have been like this.
However, the two were not dissatisfied with this situation. Hence, they had been always like this. But if compared to other couples, the two may be considered more peculiar.
Lin Qing had left. Zhao Zimu also went to see him off. Under the eyes of everyone, Lin Qing looked at Zhao Zimu who was standing quietly in the crowd, got into the carriage and left.
Since there was separation, there would be one day when they could be reunited and that day would not be too far away.
In the seventeenth year of emperor Jinghui’s reign, a general appeared in the northwest army and took the initiative to attack the Xiongnu at the beginning of spring. She went many times to battle and won many times, and established meritorious deeds that had never been before in this generation. This person’s name was Zhao Zhong.
However, the civil and military officials of the court collectively accused her of misconduct and requested emperor Jinghui to punish her with the death. The reason they gave was that this person raised her sword indiscriminatingly and deliberately provoked the dispute of both countries, and this has caused the waste of manpower and resources, harmed the country and the citizens, and hurt Great Liang’s dynasty of a few hundred years. Hence, they asked the emperor to sentence her to death.
However, Jiu Qiansui Lin Qing led astray the emperor. He was not ashamed because of this and instead felt proud. He didn’t care about the opposition of the officials and even got Zhao Zhong promoted. It was really the great misfortune of the world, some censors asserted. Great Liang would inevitably be ruined in the hands of these two people!
And Zhao Zhong was appointed as a general Xiaoji of the northwest and was independently in charge of thirty thousand people and only had to obey Chen Jin.
Xiaoji means brave on the horseIn the same year, third prince Situ Wenrui was dispatched to Huainan and became Prince Huainan. Second prince Situ Jinkang was dispatched to Huaibei and became Prince Huaibei. Situ Yuanxiao was bestowed the title of Prince An and his fiefdom was Yinqing. However, he could stay in the capital for three years. After three years, he would go to his fiefdom.
From then on, the fights at the court stopped temporarily. The fraction of the Eastern Palace dominated the court and it was obviously to whom the throne belonged.
However, an emperor’s heart was hard to predict. How the matter would develop was still unknown until the last moment.

On the other side at the grassland, the khan of the Xiongnu, Muke, who led the troop to fight Great Liang lost the battles repeatedly and gradually lost the hearts of the people. Rumors began to emerge in the Xiongnu court that second prince forced his father to seize the throne and had provoked the anger of the God of Longevity. That was why the God of Longevity dropped punishments and didn’t protect his citizens.
The grassland was terrified for a period of time.
In contrast, third prince Tata who had been left out in the cold had an outstanding performance. Although the troop led by prince Tata had no chance of winning when they faced the slaying god of Great Liang, but a least he saved more combat power than Muke and he was friendly to others and not as cruel as Muke. Many people’s heart gradually began to drift.
Muke wanted to battle and Tata wanted peace. The recent battles really frightened the Xiongnu. The soldiers of Great Liang led by that Zhao Zhong were really like a group of demons. Not only did they kill their people, but they also robbed them of their cattle and sheep. They were different from the slogan ‘benevolence and righteousness’ that Great Liang always shouted. This group of people was like a group of robbers, no, they were even worse than robbers!
The generals of the Xiongnu didn’t want to fight anymore. Even if they have to fight, they wanted to wait until the grasses were beautiful and the cattle fat!
However, who could’ve imagined that that Zhao Zhong led the troops to the grassland at the beginning of spring. Not only were they caught off guard, but the grass seeds that had just sprouted were also trampled down by the army. What should their cattle, sheep and horses eat?!
Therefore, a group of people secretly turned to Tata. And while Muke was still preparing for the battle to redeem his prestige in the hearts of the Xiongnu, he didn’t know that his status of khan had already began to shake because of his warfare.
Under Zhao Zimu’s continuous offensive battle after battle, the fights between the Xiongnu themselves were also quietly erupting. Also, the western foreigners attacked the Xiongnu from time to time. For a time, the situation on the grassland was chaotic.
—
In the northwest military camp, the generals gathered in Chen Jin’s camp to discuss the next plan for the battle.
At this time in previous years, they mainly focused on defending the cities, but this year was different.
Everyone looked at Zhao Zimu who was sitting quietly on the side. It was this person who disregarded the military command and privately brought the troop to fight against the Xiongnu and he even won. Although, he was punished, but it was puzzling that the general continue to let this person do so. Util now, things had gone beyond everyone’s expectations.
This person was not only outstanding, he also had a very strong backing. Now, he even got into a position that was equivalent to them.
This person must not be provoked.
This was the thought of everyone. And Chen Jin’s expression seemed a lot more excited than before. He didn’t expect that Zhao Zimu would disrupt the situation to this point in such a short period of time, beating the Xiongnu that they repeatedly retreated in defeat and even led his armored horses to the grassland to bully the Xiongnu.
Right, it was bully!
To use the word ‘bully’ on the Xiongnu was something that Chen Jin couldn’t imagine about before, but now it has actually happened. The suffocation that had been caused by the Xiongnu for so many years had also been relieved.
Therefore, as long as it was not aimed at Great Liang, Chen Jin could turn a blind eye to everything that Zhao Zimu did. And Zhao Zhong, this young man didn’t disappoint his expectations.
Chen Jin’s gaze moved to Zhao Zimu who had a triangular scar caused by a double-edged sword and said, “Zhao Zhong, tell me what your next step is.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zimu looked at the people in the big tent and her gaze finally stopped on one person. She said with a cold voice, “General Sun has always led the soldiers bravely. Why not listen to his opinion first?”
