453. Chapter 453 I just ask you to protect me Xiaoyu
She didn't know when this war would end. Anyway, the outcome would be decided sooner or later. She really hoped it would end sooner.
No matter who wins or loses, she just wants to know the result as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, I guess the Emperor will be back soon."
"Um."
Shangguan Yu caressed his lower abdomen and responded unintentionally.
In the military tent thousands of miles away, at this time, there was a different scene.
The war has gradually subsided, and the defeated side has long lost its spirit and is left to its own devices.
Since ancient times, the principle of the winner is king and the loser is the enemy. Everyone knows in their hearts what will happen next.
In the military tent, Nangong Shuo and Guancheng were sitting face to face. In front of him was a pot of freshly boiled wine, which was still steaming and had a strong aroma of wine.
Nangong Shuo's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Shangguancheng who was sitting across from him with a calm face. He picked up the wine bottle and poured him a glass of wine, "General, please."
Shangguancheng, who was sitting opposite him, had a pair of deep eyes that were particularly calm at this time.
He glanced lightly at the wine glass in front of him, glanced at Nangong Shuo again, stretched out his hand, picked up the wine, and brought it to his mouth.
After drinking it all, he put the glass down.
Looking at Nangong Shuo, he saw that Nangong Shuo also picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank all the wine.
Then, Nangong Shuo raised his eyes and looked at Shangguan City, where although he was already a prisoner, his aura of a general galloping on the battlefield was still undiminished, and he said, "Has the general ever regretted it?"
Nangong Shuo's words caused Shangguan Cheng's calm and slightly drooped deep eyes to gently lift up and look at him. There was no trace of the fear or humility of his defeated generals in his eyes, and he was as calm as before on the battlefield.
He looked at Nangong Shuo, smiled faintly, picked up the flask, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it slowly,
Facing this young emperor who had defeated him seemed to be reminiscing about old times with an old friend whom he had not seen for many years.
"Your Majesty, you know that I have never regretted anything I did, but this time..."
Speaking of this, his handsome brows wrinkled slightly, and there was some apology in his deep eyes, "When I knew Xiaoyu fell in love with you, but was caught in such an awkward situation between us, I felt a little regretful."
Having said this, he picked up the flask again, poured a glass, and after drinking it, he continued: "Xiao Yu is the most cherished baby in my life. I swear that I can give her the best. I even think that if one day
I have won this world, and this world will belong to her in the future. I wholeheartedly wanted to protect her, but I never thought about pushing her into a dilemma. I know how hard it is for her to be sandwiched between the two of us.
, even though she never said it in front of me."
His eyes dimmed slightly when he mentioned Shangguan Yu, "But the arrow is already on the string. If I don't shoot it, the entire Shangguan family will be ruined in my hands."
At the end, he just smiled bitterly. Nangong Shuo looked at him. This brave and famous general of the generation in front of him seemed to have changed a lot at this moment.
He pursed his thin lips and did not speak. He just heard Shangguancheng's voice coming again, "Your Majesty."
Shangguan Cheng's voice became slightly hoarse. Nangong Shuo looked at him and saw that his eyes were full of requests.
Then, Shangguan Cheng stood up and said, "I am willing to accept everything. I just ask you to protect me, Xiao Yu."
