Chapter 487 Zuo Lianglun: It Seems that I Have to Be a Matchmaker
Zuo Lianglun's words silenced the envoy sent by the Yue family.
These are just polite words he said, and they are also the most basic negotiation skills. In fact, the general has never expressed his admiration for Chen Mo.
But everyone has said so. If he didn't explain why, wouldn't he be telling the other person that he was lying to him.
The envoy of the Yue family thought for a while and said: "The general once said that the Marquis was a young hero and a pillar of the Song Dynasty. When the country was in crisis, he stood up and raised the banner of resistance to the Jinxia. He was respected by everyone. A great hero who is the favorite of countless young beauties.”
"oh"
Zuo Lianglun drawled a long note, and then pretended to mutter: "So, the Marquis is also General Yue's favorite."
Hearing this, the envoy of the Yue family was stunned for a moment, feeling that he might have said something he shouldn't have said, but at this point, he could only bite the bullet and said: "Of course, when I learned that the Marquis married a wife, the general I was secretly depressed for a long time.”
Hearing this, Zuo Lianglun's lips curved into a smile that suggested he had succeeded, and then said: "According to my understanding, although General Yue is a hero among women, he is still waiting to be married to a boudoir and has not been married to anyone."
The Yue family envoy's bad feeling grew stronger and stronger, but he still nodded.
Seeing this, Zuo Lianglun slammed the table in front of him and said, "It seems that I am going to be a matchmaker for a while."
The Yue family envoy's heart skipped a beat: "What do you mean, Mr. Zuo?"
"To be honest, the Marquis was born in a commoner family. When he was still a minor, his parents and elder brother left him. He has no relatives or friends, which makes the Chen family thin. Since the general likes the Marquis, I will protect the general. A matchmaker arranged for the Marquis to marry the general, which would satisfy the general's wish and also open up branches for the Chen family.
In addition, as long as the general and the marquis become a family, there is no question of whether to take them in or not. "
Hearing this, the expression of the Yue family envoy changed. As an envoy, he came to Yuzhou to convey the general's intention. If the general knew that in just a moment, she would be "sold" to Chen Mo by him and would have to chop him into pieces. .
"Master Zuo, that's not what I meant." The Yue family envoy was about to explain.
Zuo Lianglun, who was originally smiling, had a serious expression on his face. He interrupted the Yue family envoy's words and said in a deep voice: "What does that mean? Or are you lying to me?"
The envoy of the Yue family felt chilled by Zuo Lianglun. He could not express his grievances, so he could only say: "But the Marquis has already married a wife, and the general has also married the Marquis. Doesn't he become a concubine?"
"Oh, does the messenger mean that he thinks the Marquis's concubine is low-level?" Zuo Lianglun asked.
Yue Jia suddenly felt his scalp numb: "Master Zuo is serious, I definitely didn't mean that."
"Then what does the noble envoy mean by saying this? The current princess, the noble daughter of the Xiao family, has a status no less than that of General Yue, but now both of them are concubines of the Marquis. It is not an injustice for General Yue to marry the Marquis. .Besides, your envoy should take a longer-term view."
As he said that, Zuo Lianglun took out the military newspaper from the pile of documents on the desk in front of him and handed it to the Yue family envoy for inspection. Xia's elite army of 50,000 killed Jinxia's coach Tamerlane and has now recovered Cangzhou. It won't take long for the war in the north to be settled. This achievement is enough to make a first-class Duke.
When the time comes, the Marquis will ask the Emperor for this marriage. What an honor it will be for the general. Besides, my Marquis is only twenty-one years old, and he has already sworn to destroy Jin Xia. In the future, he will be named queen, and the general will be his concubine..."
Due to the war, Longyou was not well-informed. After reading the Di newspaper, the Yue family envoys were a little shocked, secretly thinking that Chen Mo was so fierce that he even killed the enemy commander.
In this way, what Zuo Lianglun said is not impossible.
But it was related to the general's marriage. As a subordinate, he didn't dare to make a decision easily. He said, "I have to go back and ask the general about his intention first."
Zuo Lianglun nodded: "That's natural."
The envoy of the Yue family took the opportunity and said again: "The Jinxia barbarians are chasing our general very closely. Before we talk about this matter, Master Zuo, can you let the general in first?"
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. You said it yourself. The barbarians are chasing you closely. If the barbarians take the opportunity to kill you when they are let in, there will be a big mess. I need to ask the Marquis for instructions."
"But the Marquis is in Cangzhou, waiting for Mr. Zuo to finish asking for instructions. It's all over."
"Don't worry, if it's urgent, ten days will be enough for a round trip."
"Ten days are too late." The Yue family messenger said without tears.
"This matter is so big that I can't make the decision. I need to ask the Marquis for instructions."
Yue family envoy: "..."
Asking for instructions but not asking for instructions, in his opinion, this is a means to force the general to submit.
"I'll go back and report it to the general."
"I am sending your envoy to you."
Zuo Lianglun sent him off in person, and then returned to the study without stopping, studying ink and writing something.
After finishing writing, he called his subordinates and said: "Immediately send this letter to the Marquis as soon as possible and explain to him the current situation in Longyou."
"promise."
…
In order to avoid being pursued by the Jin Xia army, Yue Ruyan took the remaining 3,000 horses and the entire Yue clan and hid in a deep mountain outside Lishuofei County. Standing on the top of the mountain, you could even see Chen Jun. A defense line built outside Shuofei County.
Jin Xia's pursuing troops have already chased them outside the mountain. I believe that in a few days, when Jin Xia's three armies gather together, they will definitely enter the mountain.
There is not much time left for Yue Ruyan.
Of course, even if Jin Xia's army didn't enter the mountain, Yue Ruyan and the others wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
After the escape, the food and supplies they carried were ambushed. In order to avoid being caught up by the enemy, Gongsun Yan ordered that all the food they brought with them be thrown away except for the food they would take for a period of time.
There were many poisonous insects, rats and ants in the mountains, and the Yue clan was used to a life of luxury and being served by others. Not long after entering the mountains, Yue Ruyan's mother, who was not prepared, was bitten by poisonous mosquitoes and had several large lumps on her body.
Sitting under a tree, she had just been helped by a maid to apply medicine. She looked at Yue Ruyan who was coming over and said, "Ruyan, I heard that Chen Mo regarded us as thieves. Will he take us in at this time?"
Yue Ruyan did not take off her armor. There was a heroic spirit between her eyebrows and her sharp eyes were like a knife. But after seeing her mother's worried look, her sharp eyes softened a lot in an instant, and she said softly, "I have sent an envoy to convey the meaning. The result will be known tomorrow at the latest."
Yue Ruyan's mother stood up, held Yue Ruyan's hand, patted her hand gently, sighed and said, "Ruyan, you have suffered. I am useless and can't help you."
"Mom, why are you saying this? Since my great-grandmother entrusted the Yue family to me, I can't let the Yue family be destroyed in my hands no matter what."
Yue Ruyan was talking when someone came to report that the envoy she had sent out had returned.
