Feeling awkward, Yun Huan felt as if his hot face was pressed against someone else's cold ass.
These guys are really realistic. Niu Youdao sighed inwardly and turned around to comfort Yun Huan, "Don't take it personally."
Yun Huan smiled bitterly, "It's normal for their status to think that I am not qualified to be equal to them."
"Just think of it as a matter of course." Niu Youdao patted his arm.
"Absurd!" Yun Ji on the side scolded, and left, going to Wu Zhaoxing's side.
Niu Youdao and Yun Huan both looked back. The two people who were fascinated by the authorities still didn't realize what was going on.
After the two of them followed, Wu Zhaoxing, who looked up to the sky and exhaled a long breath, turned back and said to Niu Youdao: "You are still the best, killing people without blood!"
Niu Youdao didn't know the deeper meaning of his words. He only knew that they were referring to the matter of sworn sworn vows. "In this case, try to strengthen the relationship as much as possible."
Wu Zhaoxing shook his head, "Hong Gaitian speaks freely and is indeed arrogant. If you don't take action, then if you take action, all four monsters will be defeated by you in an instant, and you will lose your temper!"
Niu Youdao was suspicious and didn't know what he wanted to say.
"Yunji is incredible..." Wu Zhaoxing pointed at Yunji from a distance and explained the changes in their relationship.
"Absurd!" Yun Ji spat.
Niu Youdao and Yun Huan suddenly realized why the four guys suddenly ran away. They all turned back and looked around.
Later, Niu Youdao was also a little dumbfounded. He really didn't mean it. He didn't think about the relationship between Yunji and her son at all when he was tinkering with the sworn sworn relationship.
Yun Huan turned back to look at his mother with a slightly wonderful expression.
Wu Zhaoxing wanted to laugh, but he held it back. He also saw that Niu Youdao was unintentional, but he was a little strange, "Does it make sense to become a sworn brother like this? Do you think they will take it seriously?"
Niu Youdao understood what he meant, but his personal thoughts were different, so he replied, "There is no need to force it, the truth is also false when it is fake, and there is nothing when there is no action!"
These words sounded a bit convoluted, but they were quite profound, and the three of them were thoughtful.
…
"Sir, how likely is it that Master Dao will come back?"
Outside Yingwu Hall, the usual guards outside were moved away. Shang Shuqing arrived and subconsciously stopped outside the door when she heard the voices inside.
Yingwu Hall is an important place for military aircraft. It is not a place that anyone can enter if they want. Among those who can enter and exit at will, Shang Shuqing is one of them.
After Shang Chaozong's voice, Lan Ruoting's voice sounded again, "My lord, no one can say for sure about this matter, but it is indeed dangerous."
Shang Chaozong's voice said, "Although the situation has been stabilized by Maolu Villa, I don't have any confidence in this matter."
Lan Ruoting: "It's not just the prince who has no idea, I'm afraid even the Maolu Villa himself has no idea. According to reports, people from the Liuxian Sect, Fuyun Sect, and Lingxiu Mountain have been relatively close to Dachan Mountain recently, and they are trying to please them.
The suspicion of Dachanshan is probably to leave some escape route for myself. My lord, I must say something inappropriate, no matter what the final result is, we must make preparations in advance, and we cannot wait until the incident comes and cause a panic."
Shang Chaozong: "That's exactly what I meant, but I don't know what Commander Meng's attitude is, and there is no reply from Commander Meng to the secret message sent. Military intelligence reports are flowing smoothly, so it is impossible for him not to receive the letter, and he doesn't know what Commander Meng means.
"
Lan Ruoting: "Your Majesty, Meng Shuai's lack of expression is his attitude. Meng Shuai's intention is to let the prince take matters into his own hands. If he doesn't get involved in this matter, he will leave a way out for us with Master Dao so that it won't end.
"
There was silence in the room, and Shang Shuqing, who was clasping her fingers again and again, finally couldn't bear it anymore, appeared at the door, and walked directly across the threshold.
Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting were startled, and then breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it was her.
"Princess." Lan Ruoting bowed her hands in greeting.
Shang Chaozong smiled: "Qing'er is here."
Shang Shuqing looked ugly, "Brother, I heard it all."
Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting looked at each other, a little embarrassed. Shang Chaozong said slowly: "I have nothing to worry about you. Just pretend that I haven't heard anything."
Shang Shuqing looked sad and angry, "Brother, sir, how could you do this? Do you know what you are doing? This is burning the bridge across the river!"
Lan Ruoting remained silent.
Shang Chaozong frowned slightly, "Qing'er, the matter is not as serious as you said."
Shang Shuqing said in pain: "How come it's not serious? Brother, if others don't know, don't you know how we got here? What were our plans when we first escaped from the capital? We were worried that the court would kill at any time.
, are preparing to flee overseas through a secret route, like a bereaved dog, terrified all day long!"
"Brother, sir, who helped us gain a foothold in Canglu County? Who took the risk to convince Jinzhou to support us in taking over the two counties? Who provided the financial resources to help us recuperate and strengthen ourselves? Who got a large number of
The war horse helped us expand our military strength? Who turned the tide and helped me gain control of Nanzhou during the Tianyumen purge? Who helped save the day when Nanzhou faced internal and external threats? And who defended Dayan's ideals for me?
The one who defeated the strange soldiers of Ten Thousand Beasts Gate?"
"Brother, sir, and many others, Master Dao has worked hard to help us and paid too much for us, but Master Dao has never asked for anything from us, nor has he ever taken anything from Nanzhou.
Stitch by stitch, who in Nanzhou doesn't know that they owe Master Dao? Even people outside know that without Master Dao, Nanzhou would not be what it is today, but how do we repay? Is this how we should repay?"
"Brother, sir, have you ever thought about it, if we do this, will the people in Nanzhou agree? Even if we don't dare to say anything, how will the people in Nanzhou look at us in the future?"
After what they said, the two of them felt heavy. Shang Chaozong said in a deep voice: "Qing'er, are you afraid that others won't hear you? Keep your voice down."
The reason why the guards outside were moved further away was to avoid being overheard.
A letter from Maolu Villa revealed the secret meeting between this person and Xiaoyao Palace. He had realized that there were eyes and ears from Maolu Villa around him.
Shang Shuqing shook his head, his voice was a little softer, but he was heartbroken, "Brother, sir, you have to be conscientious when doing things! Master Dao's life or death is uncertain, but we take the opportunity to undermine him. Can we do such a thing? If we are like this
We are ruthless and unjust, and this is true for those who have done us great kindness. In the future, others will also be ruthless and unjust in repaying us!"
Shang Chaozong: "Qing'er, tell me, what if Master Tao cannot come back? We can not care about our own life and death, but what about the lives and fortunes of so many soldiers in Nanzhou? Can you watch them being washed with blood?"
Can you watch their family being destroyed?"
"I gave the order, so many brothers went through fire and water, and were bathed in blood on the battlefield. How many people were wrapped in leather, horses and leather. The people who jumped into Gunlong Gorge couldn't even see their bodies! How many brothers' families became orphans and widows? Do you expect others to care for those people?
Orphans and widows? How can you let those old, weak, women and children survive in the future?"
"They fought in the east and west for my Shang Dynasty clan, for Nanzhou, and for the Great Yan Dynasty. They died in a foreign land. Those orphans and widowed mothers couldn't even see their bodies and cried to death. You have seen the scene. They defended their home and country even if they died.
, but I can't even take care of their children, how do you want me to explain to my dead brothers?"
Shang Shuqing's eyes turned red and she bit her lip silently.
Lan Ruoting sighed softly.
Shang Chaozong stepped forward and put his hands on her shoulders, "Qing'er, I am the one who really makes the decision, and I am the one who really bears the infamy. I am more entangled than anyone else, and I feel more uncomfortable than anyone else, but as the commander-in-chief, I can't
To gamble with so many people's fortunes and lives, I must be prepared in case the Taoist Master fails to come back, otherwise I will not be a qualified commander."
"Qing'er, this is not to discredit Master Tao. The person who least wants to dismantle Master Dao is me, because there are some things that only I feel the deepest about. Looking at the entire cultivation world, no one is as tolerant to us as Master Tao.
I can't find another monk who cares more about people's livelihood than Master Tao. Only he will really take people's suffering seriously and will not treat the people of Nanzhou as ants."
"As long as Master Dao is here, as long as Master Dao is there to control Nanzhou, Nanzhou can quickly recover after the war. If others can't, others will only seize, which will only make the post-war situation worse. Only Master Dao is here.
, I can use my hands and feet freely to manage all of this!"
"Qing'er, I haven't demolished Mr. Dao, but I have to make adjustments. The situation forces us to no longer fight with those people to the death. We must ease the relationship between the two parties."
At this point, what else could Shang Shuqing say? After a long silence, a box in his hand was placed on the case, "Help me return this to General Li."
She came here just for this matter. She didn't expect to break the conspiracy between Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting.
"What?" Shang Chaozong took the box and opened it. He saw a beautifully crafted golden bracelet lying on the velvet cloth. He closed the box and stuffed it back into her hand, saying: "General Li also expressed his kindness.
Why should you refuse?"
The box was put back on the case, and Shang Shuqing asked, "I know my sister-in-law has met him before. Does this make sense? No matter how ugly I am, there is no need to use my power to force others to marry me."
Shang Chaozong hurriedly waved his hand, "Qing'er, you misunderstood. Your sister-in-law didn't see him as a matchmaker for you, and she didn't mean to force him. It was Li Ye who took the initiative to find me and hoped that I would fulfill my wish. I can't say anything about this.
I don’t know his intentions, so asking your sister-in-law to find out more about the situation is definitely not what you think."
Shang Shuqing: "With his current status, is he still worried about not finding a good match?"
The implication is, what kind of woman can’t be found and why should she look for an ugly woman like me?
Shang Chaozong waved his hand again, "You really think too much. I know your thoughts, and I don't want to wrong you. If I didn't understand clearly, I wouldn't want to bring you and him together. After all, he is widowed. No matter how bad my sister is,
I can't find anyone who can easily let my sister marry another man, and no matter how bad I am, I won't make you feel so wronged."
"After your sister-in-law talked with him, he also revealed the truth. Although he is seven or eight years older than you, he was his father's personal guard when he was a young man. He used to be at our house often. He can be said to be watching.
You grew up. He said that others don't know, but he knows how good you are. He said that there is hardly a woman better than you in the world. He said that you are a pearl covered in dust. He felt unworthy of you before and did not dare to speak. This time
It was only after he was promoted for his military exploits that he plucked up the courage to speak."
"Your sister-in-law asked about your appearance, and he spoke frankly. She said that you were good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and that you were smart. No matter in terms of figure or inner qualities, few people could match you. He really didn't care about your appearance.
What he sees is your good qualities beyond your appearance. He says that if you are lucky enough, it will be his blessing. He says that he will treat you well all his life. I know what kind of person Li Ye is, and so do you. He can tell
In this case, there will be no fakeness, and I must really like you."
