In the 17th year of Daliang's founding, the northern border was defeated.
Su Chen, the general who conquered the north, sent 500 remnant troops to serve as Beishuo's 3,000 cavalry, abandoned the formation and destroyed all the equipment. The Ministry of War discussed the crime and summoned him back to Jinling with a document. In the wind and snow, his armor was covered with blood, and he knelt in front of the palace.
The regent princess Xiao Lanyue holds the power of the world and is above the ninth level. If you look at the person kneeling, if you look at the utensil on the desk, it still needs to be evaluated. For a long time, under the skirt that was trailing to the floor, the stockings were slightly peeked out, and the jade toes lightly touched the center of his eyebrows.
"From today onwards, all your loyalty must start from the front of the tarsus."
As soon as the words were spoken, the whole palace was shocked.
In the past, the iron cavalry trampled the enemy's camp, and wherever the horse's hooves came, he became the famous general of the territory. Now, a woman is kneeling in front of the tarsus. Shameful? Humiliating? However, the northern border has not yet been determined and his limbs are still there, so Su Chen cannot die. Then he forbeared and bowed his head, starting from the bottom of the tarsus, and recasting his body.
The court is full of strife, enemy countries are coveting her, and assassins are hiding in secret. She used the shadow of her tarsus as a prison to trap her pride and sharpen her edge; he used the front of his tarsus as a ladder to climb back to the position of God of War step by step.
"Who are you?"
"You will know when your knees learn to bend forward in this palace."
Power and loyalty are intertwined, humiliation and emotion coexist.
She wanted to forge a sword that would be enough to conquer mountains and rivers; he wanted to take a life that would be enough to reward his confidant. However, the distance under the tarsus is not even an inch, but it is the boundary between Chu, He and Han where the majesty of the heavenly family and the dignity of the ministers lie.
The country and the mountains are the bureau, and the shadow of the tarsus is the seal.
This is a conquest and return that begins with a single step and ends with mountains and rivers.
