Chapter 488

Inside the military tent.

"What?"

"This is unreasonable. This is clearly taking advantage of others' danger."

"Everyone says that Chen Mo is lustful, and it's true. Even his subordinates are all scumbags, and they even have to act as matchmakers between the general and Chen Mo."

"Yes, at worst, if we fight with those Jinxia barbarians, we will definitely die standing up instead of living on our knees."

"..."

All the generals gathered in the tent. After listening to what the envoy said, they were all filled with indignation.

However, when a general said that he wanted to fight Jin Xia Manzi, the tent became quiet again.

Obviously, although they were angry about this matter, they were just angry. When life and death were at stake, they still hoped that Yue Ruyan could come forward.

After all, just like them, no matter how hard they try, they can't defeat those barbarians.

Yue Ruyan had a straight face, showing no emotion or joy, but Yingmei frowned subconsciously and said, "Did Zuo Lianglun say when he would let us in?"

"He said he would ask the Marquis for instructions, and it would take ten days at the earliest. But according to my subordinates, he just wanted to force the general to submit." said the envoy sent out by Yue Ruyan.

After hearing Ten Days, the expressions of the generals in the military tent changed.

Ten days?

The daylilies are cold.

As the Yue family's army, these generals are naturally served by Yue clan members. They are used to living a life of fine clothing and fine food, so naturally they don't want to die.

One by one, they looked expectantly at Yue Ruyan.

But Yue Ruyan did not say what they wanted to hear. Instead, she looked at the messenger, her eyes flashing slightly: "You explained everything to him that I told you."

"I told you." The messenger hesitated, and then thought that this matter would be exposed sooner or later. If he took the initiative to explain it now, he might be spared lightly. He gritted his teeth and knelt down with a plop:

"General, it's all my fault that I told Zuo Lianglun at that time that the general admired Chen Mo very much for going to the north to fight against foreign enemies. I thought it was just a polite comment, but he seemed to take it seriously and said how much he admired him. At that time I didn’t think much about it, so I just said some words of praise for Chen Mo in your name, General..."

The messenger told what happened. While talking, he peeked at Yue Ruyan from time to time to see if her expression was correct. Finally, he kowtowed heavily and said:

"General, it's all the villain's fault. If you want to kill or cut into pieces, the villain won't blame the general."

In response to this, Yue Ruyan just took a breath and said: "You are not to blame for this matter. When I sent you there, I had a hunch that this matter would not go smoothly. Sure enough."

Hearing Yue Ruyan's words, the envoy breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered something, and said hurriedly: "By the way, General, General Zuo also showed the villain the newspaper from their army, saying that Chen Mo had a great victory in the north, and he said The 50,000 elite soldiers of the Barbarians were killed, and even the coach of the Barbarians, Timur, was killed by Chen Mo. Now that the Chen army is approaching Youzhou, I believe that the war in the north will be over soon. "

"What?!"

As soon as these words came out, the generals in the military tent took a breath of cold air.

They were defeated in the battle against Jin Xia, but they knew the terrifying strength of Jin Xia's army, and they heard that Jin Xia's East Route Army cavalry was numerous. How did Chen Mo annihilate these barbarians?

Yue Ruyan also raised her eyebrows slightly, a little surprised, but soon thought of something related to them.

Jin Xia's East Route Army suffered such a huge defeat, and the news will surely reach Wanyan Xiaji's ears soon. In order to calm down the war in Longyou as soon as possible and aid the East Route Army, she will be killed.

The generals in the military tent also thought of this, and once again looked at Yue Ruyan with expectant eyes.

Yue Ruyan still didn't give them an answer, she just said: "Well, I understand, let's go down and rest first."

Generals, you looked at me and I looked at you, looking at each other, but they soon had an idea in their minds.

In the evening, Yue Ruyan was absentmindedly eating with her mother.

Yue Ruyan's uncles came over.

Before Yue Ruyan had taken a few sips, these uncles started talking: "Ruyan, I heard that the envoy you sent to Shuofei County has returned, and the other side asked you to marry the Marquis of Pingting County as a concubine. Will you take us in?"

"What?!"

Yue Ruyan's mother didn't even hear Yue Ruyan mention this matter. When she heard this, she was immediately surprised and looked at Yue Ruyan and asked.

"That's right, although the other side didn't say it clearly, that's pretty much what it meant." Yue Ruyan said.

"This, this, this, why didn't Ruyanqian tell my mother?"

"Aren't you worried about this?" Yue Ruyan said.

"Sister, I also heard from Zhi'er about this." Yue Ruyan's uncle first said something to Yue Ruyan's mother, and then said to Yue Ruyan:

"Ruyan, don't agree. I heard that the Marquis of Pingting County is extremely lecherous. If you marry him as a concubine, it's like jumping into a pit of fire. Even if I die, I can't see you end up like this. .

It just so happens that my mother left not long ago, and Zhi'er and I are still in the same mood, maybe we can catch up. "

Zhi'er is his son, Xinru is his wife, and the mother in his mouth is Mrs. Yuelao.

His words seemed to be to persuade Yue Ruyan not to agree, but in fact he was using the lives of a family of three and Mrs. Yue to kidnap Yue Ruyan.

Afterwards, Yue Ruyan's uncles also said similar things.

"Well, of course we are old bones and have nothing to fear. We just think that your newborn niece is still young and still has a bright future."

"Don't worry, Ruyan. We are still old. If you say no, we will risk our lives to fight those Jinxia barbarians."

Yue Ruyan is not a child. How can she not hear the meaning of the words? She said, "Uncle, uncle, uncle, don't worry. Grandma entrusted the Yue family to me. I will definitely not let the Yue family be destroyed in my hands."

"Ruyan, no." Yue Ruyan's uncle was still "persuading" hypocritically.

Yue Ruyan's mouth slightly raised an arc, as if she was self-deprecating, and seemed to find it funny.

"Uncle, you don't have to say anything more. I have made up my mind."

Yue Ruyan couldn't stand their hypocritical attitude. After she finished speaking, she returned to her tent.

...

On the other side, the Xiao family.

Jiangnan is not far from Huaizhou.

At this time, Xiao Jing also received a secret letter sent by Geng Songfu.

The letter asked him to go to Huaizhou to discuss important matters.

Seeing that his face was not right, Xiao Quan asked hurriedly: "Master, what happened?"

"Geng Zhifu asked me to go to Huaizhou to discuss important matters." Xiao Jing did not hide it and said it out.

Xiao Quan was stunned: "Important matters? Isn't the war in the north going well? What's the big deal? And didn't you say before that after the young lady got pregnant, the Xiao family would help her with all their strength?"

"It shouldn't be discussing matters in the north."
