Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 900 commit suicide again

The war had lasted for several days. Under the attack of the two main armies, the Xixia Dynasty's army was defeated and fled.

All the lost territory of the two countries in the north has been regained, and General Zhou Yuan in the south has also returned to the court.

The Great Zhou Dynasty in the west also began to gradually give up the occupied cities after taking back the captives.

However, General Xiang was still unwilling to fail and wanted to occupy a solid city defense. In the end, he was surrounded by Xuanyuan Lingyu and died under random gunfire.

In more than half a month, the land of Shu and Jin was recovered.

The Chinese Empire issued a statement to establish the Anxi Protectorate on the lands of Shu, Jin and Zheng, and established three major administrative agencies in the capitals of the three kingdoms.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Chinese Empire dispatched some officials to settle in the three major administrative agencies and began to plan the infrastructure construction within the three countries.

The first is to build enough official roads, mine iron ore, limestone and other resources near the capitals of the Three Kingdoms, and build steel cities and cement plants.

As for the widening of these avenues, it was naturally left to Lu Hao to complete. With his speed, the main roads in the capitals of the Three Kingdoms could be opened within three days.

As long as cement avenues of more than 12 meters are built between the capitals of the three countries, they will be able to support each other well.

As for the official road connecting the border of the Chinese Empire to the east, it starts from Xunyang City, passes through Hanzhou City, and goes all the way east, forcibly opening a main road between the high mountains.

In the next few days, Lu Hao first opened up the main road between the three countries, and then sent people to widen the channel first, waiting for the truth to harden in the future.

Now that all the land has been recovered, Lu Hao issued an order for the two main armies to prepare to return to the court.

If the soldiers are unwilling to go back, or have no family members, they can stay where they are to celebrate the New Year, which can also prevent the invasion of other dynasties.

However, there are not many troops left. There are more than 1000 troops in Xunyang City, more than 800 troops in Jindu City, and even less in Yingzhou City, with more than 500 troops.

Although there were not many people, the advantage was that there were plenty of guns and ammunition, and the bloody old man was left in Jindu City by Lu Hao. With him here, Lu Hao would be able to know the general situation of the Western Region.

If the enemy comes for a sneak attack, Lu Hao can lead his troops to reinforce him in time.

Some people from the First Naval Fleet of the Chinese Empire also stayed behind, and the rest, under the leadership of General Ding, prepared to return to the Chinese Empire.

The two main armies from the north followed the route they came from, escorting [-] million gold and hundreds of millions taels of silver, and set off back to Yandi City.

Sima Tianxin and Zhuge Yunxi took the initiative to stay and were responsible for mobilizing officials to settle the refugees in various cities.

Fortunately, the Chinese Empire has a steady stream of food, quilts and clothes shipped in, and these shipped materials are purchased by the Empire with money.

Most of the gold Lu Hao brought back this time was to pay for this.

Before leaving, Lu Hao took a look at Princess Xinyan and saw that she was recovering well, which made him feel relieved.

"Xinyan thanks the emperor for saving your life!"

Nalan Xinyan bowed and saluted.

"Forget it, you can save a life, it's because you shouldn't take it! I'm going back to Yandi City, you stay here to recuperate for the time being, Zhuge Yunxi will take care of you."

Lu Hao did a good job in settling her here.

After all, this is his palace now. Zhuge Yunxi usually lives here and can take good care of her.

Sima Tianxin has now returned to Yingzhou City to take charge of the overall situation, establish another administrative agency of the Anxi Protectorate, and settle the people of Jin.

With food and clothing, refugees and civilians who were originally displaced by the war can finally survive this winter safely.

The two princesses were so grateful to Lu Hao that they even wanted to give him a child, or were willing to give him a child.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go back?"

Nalan Xinyan said in surprise.

"Of course, I'm going back to celebrate the New Year, and it's going to snow soon. It will be very cold here by then, and the war will definitely not be fought."

Lu Hao nodded slightly.

"Isn't the Emperor going to conquer the Western Regions?"

Nalan Xinyan asked. "Of course, but I'm afraid I'll have to go next year. I'll be back after spring. Just take good care of your injuries."

Lu Hao responded.

"Your Majesty, Xinyan is yours, you can do whatever you say."

After Nalan Xinyan finished speaking, her face turned red with embarrassment.

"You! Don't be too attached to this matter. You are an independent individual. You are free. You can do whatever you want. If you are willing to settle here, you can even find someone you like."

"I will not marry you. After all, after the spring, I will personally lead the army to destroy Xixia. At that time, I will be your father-killing enemy. Therefore, if you follow me, it will be too much for you. That’s cruel!”

Lu Hao explained to her in detail.

"It would be better if you destroyed Xixia! I won't hate you! Because Nalan Xinyan died for Xixia. The emperor saved Xinyan now, and I will be yours from now on!"

There was no joy or sadness on Nalan Xinyan's face, and she obviously had no affection for her heartless father.

"It was not my intention to save you, so you don't have to take it to heart. If you want to thank me, then thank Zhuge Yunxi and Sima Tianxin."

Lu Hao told the truth frankly.

"Your Majesty, I...I want to go back to Yandi City with you, away from this sad place."

Nalan Xinyan said quietly.

"No, your injury hasn't healed yet and you can't bear the long journey. Just stay here and recuperate."

Lu Hao still rejected her.

"Your Majesty, Xinyan said that if someone is yours in this life, then they are yours. Otherwise, Xinyan can commit suicide again!"

Nalan Xinyan's attitude was extremely determined.

What?Going to commit suicide again?Don't make such a joke, okay?
Lu Hao had a bitter look on his face and stared blankly at the beautiful woman in front of him, who also had a head as big as an ox.

"If you want to commit suicide, I don't want to see you die again after I leave!"

Lu Hao said, turned around and left.

"Your Majesty, please take me away!"

Nalan Xinyan stopped him and knelt down with a thud.

"What are you doing? Get up and talk!"

Lu Hao stepped forward and helped her up.

"Your Majesty, please!"

Nalan Xinyan begged again.

"You are so young, you...what have you experienced? Why do you want to die?"

Lu Hao couldn't help but be confused.

"I used to think that my father loved us sisters very much, but he just regarded us as chess pieces, a chess piece that could be discarded at any time, a chess piece to consolidate his rule..."

Nalan Xinyan spoke eloquently.

The royal family is ruthless, which is also the tragedy of the royal princesses. They are just marriage partners and just pawns of the king.

Internally, they can marry powerful ministers to achieve the purpose of stabilizing the political power. Externally, they can make marriage or negotiate peace, which can be used as a political bargaining chip.

However, Lu Hao was obviously not interested in Nalan Xinyan as a bargaining chip, which led to her failure in the mission and she had no choice but to commit suicide.

Because even if she returns to Xixia, the fate she will accept is the word death, even more miserable.
