Chapter 33 The Abandoned Young Master of the Marquisate 14

After returning to Fengcheng, Shi Qing held several meetings with the father and son of the Protector of the Country and several generals. After several discussions, they determined the battle plan.

The terrain of Quguo was complex, so Shi Qing gave a detailed map. There was miasma in some parts of Quguo, so Shi Qing found a batch of medicinal herbs and taught the doctors in the army to prepare hundreds of thousands of detoxification pills.

All the difficulties that could shackle the soldiers of Daxia were solved. With the current strong military force of Daxia, hundreds of thousands of soldiers marched straight into Quguo.

Zhao Weiguo knew that Shi Qing was a mysterious and capable person, but he really realized how powerful he was in this battle!

He thought that even if he would win this battle, he would have to go through all kinds of hardships and obstacles and overcome many difficulties, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth!

After having a detailed map, the terrain of Quguo was no longer an obstacle to them. Shi Qing even used the terrain to fight several beautiful turnarounds. It was easy for him to win with fewer troops.

After taking the detoxification pills given by Shi Qing, the miasma was no longer a threat to them. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers chased the soldiers of Qu State and beat them so hard that they ran away. What a joy!

What surprised Zhao Weiguo was that Shi Qing, the military strategist who used troops like a god, was not weak in martial arts at all, and was even better than theirs!

On a battlefield, the general of Qu State rushed straight towards Shi Qing. Everyone was fighting with the enemy, and Shi Qing was the only one there. The people around him had no time to react.

Zhao Weiguo was worried and frightened when he saw that scene, thinking that the military strategist might be in danger.

But what people didn't expect was that Shi Qing picked up the long spear stabbed by the general of Qu State, pulled out the sword for self-defense given by Zhao Yunfei, and directly counterattacked!

Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene, and their morale soared after they reacted, killing Qu State and defeating it!

This attack on Qu State went unexpectedly smoothly. When the victory report reached the emperor, they had already captured five cities of Qu State.

In the court, all the officials were surprised when they heard the news. For a time, all the officials paid homage to the emperor, saying that the emperor was wise and blessed by God.

The emperor sitting at the top was also slightly surprised and overjoyed. He really didn't expect that the young man of this hidden family would have such ability. The victory report clearly stated that the Duke of the Protectorate had contributed greatly to the victory this time.

I really made the right bet!

I felt that he was not an ordinary person when I saw his conversation and temperament before. I didn't expect that he would bring me such a big surprise!

Qu State has always been eyeing Daxia and has been planning for a long time. It has always been a headache for all emperors.

Now that he can solve and merge it while he is in power, this is such a great achievement. I will have the face to face my ancestors in the future.

On the battlefield, as the victory report said, the Northwest Army was unstoppable and unstoppable, like a sharp sword. Wherever they went, the soldiers of Qu State either surrendered or died, and cities were captured one after another.

Qu State sent envoys to negotiate peace, but they were directly rejected. The Northwest Army directly entered the palace of Qu State.

After two years, Qu State was destroyed and merged into Daxia State.

There was a cheer in the Northwest Army. After this battle, they will take turns to take a few months off to go home and visit their families, and everyone has a smile on their face.

Shi Qing was also very happy. After the destruction of Qu State, his mission was completed.

"Brother Shi, Brother Shi, my father said that we are all going to the capital to report this time. This time you have made the greatest contribution, and you will definitely be appointed a high official!"

Zhao Yunfei has matured a lot in the past two years of war, but that is for outsiders. He is still the same as before to Shi Qing and his father and brother.

Shi Qing's prestige in the army is now almost on par with that of the Duke of the Protectorate. Everyone calls him a military advisor, except Zhao Yunfei, who has never changed his words and still calls him Brother Shi.

Shi Qing looked at Zhao Yunfei and smiled, saying, "You should also be able to be a general!"

Zhao Yunfei laughed and said happily, "That's right, I also made a lot of efforts this time."

Zhao Yunfei's previous wish was to be a general, and now it is finally coming true.

The group went to the capital in a mighty manner and arrived in the capital a few months later.

As soon as they entered the city gate, the people on the street lined up to welcome them. Shi Qing and several generals rode on horses and headed all the way to the palace.

In the hall of the palace, several people knelt and saluted in front of the emperor. Shi Qing didn't want to cause trouble when there were so many people, so he used a trick.

Several generals were promoted according to their merits, and Zhao Yunfei was named a general as he wished.

What puzzled everyone was that Shi Qing was not among those who were rewarded. After the court was dismissed, in everyone's puzzled eyes, Shi Qing followed the eunuch who was waiting for him outside the palace to the imperial study.

In the imperial study, the crown prince Xia Wenqing was sitting at the table reviewing memorials, while the emperor was sitting on the other side drinking tea. Seeing him come in, Xia Wenqing put down the memorial in his hand.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Shi Qing, as before, just clasped his fists and saluted.

"It's been two years, and you haven't changed." The emperor said.

"The emperor hasn't changed either."

The emperor looked at the man in front of him who had not changed much, and asked again: "Don't you really want to enter the court as an official?"

No one could have thought that Shi Qing would use his merits to exchange for a chance to live freely.

The man in front of him was brave and resourceful, wise and brave. If he could enter the officialdom, he would definitely be a high-ranking official, but he was not interested in this.

Shi Qing said neither servilely nor arrogantly, "I've said before that I came out only for experience, and I'll go back after the experience."

Shi Qing didn't want to stay in the court to work for the rest of his life. Now that the mission has been completed, it would be great to go out and be free and easy!

"Forget it, go with you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Shi Qing left, Xia Wenqing also left with him.

"Mr. Shi, would you mind coming to my house for a chat?"

"I'm very happy to be invited by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Shi Qing turned and went to the Crown Prince's house with Xia Wenqing. The two chatted for a long time before Shi Qing came out.

Xia Wenqing looked at Shi Qing's departing back, feeling a little melancholy. Two years ago, he tried to keep this person, but he didn't agree. Now he still didn't agree.

It was the first time that someone rejected him again and again. If it was someone else, he would only think that person was ungrateful.

This person was Shi Qingshi, and he just felt that this person should live a life without restraint, confidence and chic!

Shi Qing returned to the Huguogong Mansion. Zhao Yunfei looked at him and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Brother Shi, have you completed your training?"

"Yes."

"Are you really leaving? Don't you consider staying?"

"Yes, I will go back to report after my training is completed."

"Will you come out again in the future?"

"Maybe, maybe not."

"What if I miss you?"

Zhao Yunfei really regarded Shi Qing as a family member. Before entering Beijing, Shi Qing told them that he would not serve as an official in Beijing, and he had already told His Majesty.

If not, he would definitely jump out when he saw the greatest contributor Shi Qing being ignored in the hall!
