Gu Yi explained:
"That's because you were born to be a national master. It's destined. There will be no accidents in the middle."
"I also had senior brothers and sisters at that time. We studied together when we were young. Later, Master chose me. In order to avoid conflicts with the same disciples, Master sent them all out."
"If you go to the rivers and lakes, you will never enter the court." Gu Yi let out a long sigh.
When Meng Li heard this, he only said:
"Okay, I'll look for it."
Gu Yi hummed, and Meng Li asked Gu Yi to take a good rest, and by the way, he injected some spiritual energy into his body.
Then he left Gu Yi's room.
I searched around the house for the Demon King, but I don’t know where he went.
Meng Li couldn't help but wonder if this demon king had gotten some benefits and ran away.
Forget it, probably not.
——
What was supposed to come would come, foreign tribes were invading, and the border was in crisis. In order to prevent the emperor from sending people in the plot to lead troops to fight, Meng Li went to the meeting hall to wait for the emperor before the emperor issued the imperial edict.
I don’t know how long I waited before the emperor came slowly and leisurely.
He felt a headache just looking at Meng Li.
Meng Li bowed politely, and the emperor said impatiently:
"National Master, what do you have to do with me?"
Meng Li said with a look of concern for the country and the people:
"I heard that the border was in danger and was worried about the war on the border, so I couldn't sit still..."
The emperor looked at Meng Li and said casually:
"Then what?"
Meng Li:
"...I am worried."
The emperor said quietly:
"National Master, your prediction is correct, and you don't have to die to apologize."
"Also, Imperial Master, your information is really well-informed. I just received the news and you came." He looked at Meng Li.
Meng Li:…
She lowered her head:
"I am terrified."
The emperor snorted: "I see you are not afraid at all."
Meng Li:…
That's right.
Finally smart for once.
Meng Li fell silent, and the emperor said:
"Okay, Imperial Master, is this a trivial matter why you're here?"
"It's just barbarians who are not a problem. Master, please don't worry too much." The emperor added.
There was a look of indifference on his face.
Meng Li felt his head hurt when he looked at the emperor.
Everything is a small thing, so what is a big thing
She said:
"Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial. Don't take it lightly."
"What does the National Master think?"
The emperor threw the pot directly to Meng Li, his body was tilted again, and he was out of shape. He supported his chin with his hand and looked at Meng Li.
Although I can't get it, I find it pleasing just to look at it, but his personality is like a pedantic old man, and he is frightened by the slightest thing.
Meng Li thought for a while and said:
"I am willing to lead troops to the border and repel the barbarians. If I do not repel them for a day, I will not return to the capital for a day."
This was a decision she made after careful consideration.
She was a little worried about others going there, so she wanted to beat them up once and for all.
Those who fight dare not come. It would be better if those who fight have to pay double tribute to Qi.
Meng Li let out a sigh in his heart and looked at the emperor who was above him strangely. Why was the emperor leading her astray? Did she also have someone else's idea
Moreover, I thought to myself that I could never meet the person who killed the client in the plot.
If she encounters something convenient, she can avenge it and save her the trouble of looking for it again.
The emperor pondered for a moment and said:
"You are a national teacher and a woman, how can you go to the front line?"
"Your Majesty, there were female generals in the previous dynasty who led troops on expeditions, so why shouldn't I do that?"
"Since the founding of our country, there have been national divisions leading troops on expeditions, so why not?"
There shouldn't be too many precedents of this kind. It's not surprising that a woman takes the lead.
"I voluntarily ask for orders to go. I hope the emperor will give me permission." Meng Li said.
The emperor thought for a moment, and since the Imperial Master was going, he didn't need to bother thinking about candidates.
Don’t waste too much if you have it ready-made.
Moreover, the Imperial Master is different from ordinary women. He has learned Qimen Dunjia and has been wandering around the court. No matter how far he is, his knowledge and ability are better than those of ordinary women.
If all the women in the world are within his reach, the Imperial Master is not his.
Furthermore, in the emperor's mind, it was easy to repel the barbarians, and it was relatively simple to be competent in this matter.
He said:
"Then I will appoint you as the general who conquers the north and lead an army of 100,000 to repel the barbarians."
Meng Li said in a powerful voice:
"I accept the order and thank the Emperor for your kindness. I am determined to fulfill my mission."
News that Meng Li had appointed a general and was about to go on an expedition soon spread.
They were particularly surprised, and some agreed that if the national army went out to fight in person, it would be a great victory.
Some people disapprove, and those who disapprove are those who despise female national preceptors.
What's going on? With the female National Preceptor going on an expedition, it's not like there's no one available in the court. Any other person would be better than this one, right
Then he ran to find the emperor. These people were the people the emperor usually liked.
After listening to what others said, the emperor suddenly felt that there was something wrong with women. However, as the emperor, he could not go back on his words and take back his orders, so he hired a lieutenant to go to the border with Meng Li.
Even if there are deputy generals and female national preceptors who are useless, there will be someone available when the time comes.
This is safer.
The deputy general was a serious military general and knew the significance of his going, but he was inexplicably overpowered by a female national master in name.
I still felt very unhappy deep down.
If it weren't for this female national counselor, he would be the general who conquered the north.
Why!
On the day of the expedition, before dawn, Meng Li asked Xinde to put on armor for her.
Xin De said to Meng Li:
"National Master, if anything happens, I am willing to stand in front of the National Master."
Meng Li smiled:
"do not worry."
Xin De also wants to follow her to the border and take care of her life.
Gu Yi came after a while and looked at Meng Li:
"Zheng'er." There were tears in his eyes and his voice was choked with sobs.
I don't know if he can wait until she comes back.
Meng Li only said:
"Master, wait for me to come back."
Gu Yi smiled bitterly and nodded.
"The border is chaotic and dangerous. You must be careful here."
"Don't worry in the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, I will do my best to take care of you." Gu Yi added.
Meng Li smiled and said:
"Thank you, Master, and don't worry, I will definitely come home victorious."
Gu Yi waved his hand and looked at Meng Li with some reluctance.
After sighing, he said:
"go Go."
"You must come back well and be careful in everything you do." Gu Yi repeatedly warned.
Meng Li nodded and rode towards the palace gate with Xin De.
——
Meng Li stood in front of the palace gate, with his lieutenant beside him and soldiers behind him. Although they were said to be one hundred thousand elite soldiers, in fact they were not that many at all.
The emperor and civil and military officials came to see him off.
The emperor waved his hand:
"General Zhengbei, I order you to go out to repel the barbarians who are harassing the northern border. Go out immediately."
"I accept your order." Meng Li knelt down and clasped his fists.
All the soldiers also knelt.
After going through the necessary formalities before setting off for the expedition, Prime Minister Right even stepped forward to greet Meng Li for a few words, wishing Meng Li a smooth trip and a successful return.
After watching the show, the emperor yawned and said:
"Okay, the time has come, let's get on the road."
Meng Li: "Okay."
She stood up, raised her eyes, and caught a glimpse of white snow from the corner of her eye.
Smile, ride, and hit the road.
