The elites of the Yellow Dragon Camp were not ordinary.
All of them were good at fighting and had excellent political skills. Each of them was equipped with a flintlock and a full body of refined melee weapons.
More importantly, they had absolute loyalty to the Daqin Imperial Family. They were the first special force of the Daqin Empire that Xiao Ruxun had spent five years to train. They were the last line of defense of the Xiao Qin Imperial Family.
Usually, they only listened to Xiao Ruxun's orders. Except for Xiao Ruxun, they didn't listen to anyone else's orders, unless this person had the gold commander's seal given by Xiao Ruxun.
When Xiao Ruxun gave this commander's seal made of gold to Caiyun, Caiyun was still very afraid and firmly refused. She even had the idea of going with Xiao Ruxun.
"Caiyun, you are the Empress of the Daqin Empire, the Mother of the Daqin Empire, and my only wife. I love you more than anyone else, and I trust you more than anyone else. I can only rest assured if I give this commander's seal to you."
"I don't want it, Xun Lang, I don't want you to go. Take me, take the children!"
Caiyun hugged Xiao Ruxun tightly and didn't let go.
At this time, Caiyun felt more afraid and uneasy. Only now did she realize how much she needed Xiao Ruxun and how much she depended on Xiao Ruxun. Xiao Ruxun took care of her in the palace, shielding her from wind and rain, and not letting her suffer any harm. She was extremely obsessed with this feeling.
But now, Xiao Ruxun was going on a northern expedition, and she didn't know when he would come back. She felt extremely uneasy.
Xiao Ruxun also hugged Caiyun tightly and stroked her head.
"I still remember the Battle of Pinglu City in Ningxia. In that battle, we fought against Bo Bai's son, Chi Chengen. The rebel army had already reached the top of the city wall, and when the city wall was about to collapse, you stood out. Dressed in full armor, you brought your maids up to the top of the city wall and personally beat the drums to aid in the battle. The morale of the army was greatly boosted, and the rebel army was driven off the city wall in one fell swoop.
From then on, I knew that you weren't just a little girl who only knew how to stay in her boudoir and manage the household chores, but also an extraordinary woman with courage and insight. I, Xiao Ruxun, am an eternal emperor who changed the heavens and earth. How could my only wife be an ordinary woman? "
Caiyun looked at Xiao Ruxun with tearful eyes and suddenly laughed.
"How can you still remember something that happened more than ten years ago? That really scared me to death. "
"Although it was very scary, didn't you still stand out?"
Xiao Ruxun put the golden commander's seal in Caiyun's hand. "I, Xiao Ruxun, only have one wife in my life, and that is you, Yang Caiyun. In the future, history books will record that the founding emperor of Daqin, Xiao Ruxun, only had one empress in his life. If this empress was ordinary, wouldn't the world find it strange? You had to create some legendary deeds so that the future generations would know how you filled my heart completely. "
Xiao Ruxun helped Caiyun hold the commander's seal in her hand. "I will also ask the historian to record what happened today in the records of this dynasty and pass it on to the future generations. In the future, the future generations will see a courageous, knowledgeable, and heroic Yang Caiyun, the founding empress of Daqin!"
Caiyun looked at Xiao Ruxun in a daze and clenched her right hand.
"Xunlang, I will be here with the children, waiting for you to come back, waiting for you to become an eternal emperor."
"You will."
Xiao Ruxun held Caiyun tightly in his arms.
Whether it was public or private, emotional or reasonable, he had to do it. There was nothing that could be changed. This war must be won. There was no other choice but to win.
Xiao Ruxun also said the same to Zhenbang.
"I will lead the army on a northern expedition and won't be in the capital for a long time. I can't control you, but you can't indulge yourself. You are the heir to the throne of Daqin, the crown prince. When I am not here, you are the center of attention. Although you are still young, you have no right to be willful."
"I understand."
Zhenbang stood in front of Xiao Ruxun honestly.
"Don't say that you understand. I know exactly what you're thinking in your heart. When I was young, I didn't have the same thoughts as you. So don't think that you can indulge yourself and fool around after I'm gone. That doesn't exist!
You must listen to Instructor Wang in the military academy. You must listen to Mother at home. You must learn military skills seriously. You must study hard. You must do what you have to do. When you need to rest, don't force yourself to tire yourself out. "
Zhenbang nodded his head repeatedly, looking very obedient.
"Alas … it would be good if you could listen to me."
Xiao Ruxun beckoned to Zhenbang to come forward. She reached out and hugged him. "Whatever Daddy can help you with, I will do my best to help you. If I can help you get rid of your enemies, I will do my best to help you get rid of them. But Daddy is not a god. There are things that I can't do.
One day, you'll have to face these jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards on your own. When that time comes, you'll understand how daddy feels right now. Daddy is fighting this battle for Great Qin, for myself, and for you. I'm leaving behind a strong foundation for you. "
Zhenbang might not fully understand what Xiao Ruxun meant now, but he would understand one day.
He understood what his father, Xiao Ruxun, was doing at this moment. He would also pass on this feeling to his future generations.
He had done what he needed to do. Although he was going on an expedition abroad, he could still control what he needed to control. He was still the only absolute core of Daqin. Even if he was not in the capital, he could still exercise his power.
The cabinet operated as usual. The imperial court operated as usual. Everything was exactly the same as before. Everything was operated for the army that was going on the northern expedition. The wartime system began to operate. Everyone was a hero in this war. Everyone should contribute to this war.
This was undoubtedly a war for the whole of Huaxia. It was a war for hundreds or even thousands of years of national fortune. There was absolutely no room for failure.
The dividends brought by this war could even be enjoyed by the whole of Daqin for hundreds of years. They could continue to use the things obtained from this war to continue to get what they needed. There was no doubt that this was certain.
For the Xiao Qin royal family, for Xiao Ruxun himself, for Caiyun, for Zhenbang, and for the 130 million people of the whole country.
In the future, more people would be born. They would enjoy the highest standard of living conditions that this planet could provide for human beings.
And all this required continuous conquest and plunder.
Who could deny that these things were not obtained through war and slaughter?
Who could deny that these things were not obtained through the blood and tears of others?
There must be losses. So, let yourself gain and let others lose.
No one could deny it.
