Chapter 232 Is he trying to force the Queen to death?

Lu Xinran was shocked. She had imagined all kinds of possibilities on the way here, but she never expected it to be this.

This, this is a crazy batch!

She looked at Lu Xinlan almost subconsciously, and Lu Xinlan met her incredulous gaze and frowned slightly.

Things seemed different from what they had initially imagined, but more complicated.

In the study, a group of deputy generals were silent, and everyone lost the ability to speak.

What did they hear just now? !

Is this war related to General Xie?

The Queen's face was gloomy. If everything Lu Xinran saw from the system was correct, then the current situation was no longer the most urgent matter.

She stood up and was about to look for Xie Lang, but the study door was pushed open at this moment.

Before Xie Lang came in, his ferocious gaze like a hawk was already cast upon him.

"You know everything?"

He walked casually, but his burly figure seemed to fill the entire study room in an instant, and he pressed straight towards the empress.

The queen's expression remained unchanged, she just waved her hand to signal the deputy generals in the room to leave first.

Qi Yu looked at the two of them and wanted to go forward, but Xie Lang got to him first, picked him up and put him back on the couch.

"Why?"

The queen clenched her hands tightly behind her back. She met his familiar yet unfamiliar gaze and asked a question that almost made her lose some of her confidence.

Xie Lang smiled, casually swept the maps and military information on the table aside, and went out to find someone to bring wine and food.

"Sit down and talk slowly."

The queen stared at him, motionless.

Xie Lang picked up the wine pot and poured two glasses of wine, then forcefully stuffed one of the glasses into the Queen's hand.

"I can tell you anything you want to know, but first let your two children go back to their rooms and rest."

As he spoke, his gaze, as if it had substance, passed through the curtain and fell upon the two sisters in the room.

The queen leaned sideways and caught his gaze.

"No need. You'll know even if you avoid it."

And with Lu Xinran here, she can help her judge whether the person in front of her is lying or not.

All the thoughts in her mind made her no longer have any trust in the person in front of her.

Xie Lang shrugged his shoulders, casually found a chair and sat down, then raised his hand and pointed to the seat next to him.

"It's been many years since we last met. Are you doing well in the capital?"

He asked the question even though he already knew the answer. The queen looked at him expressionlessly and asked why again.

"Why?"

Xie Lang chuckled, "You should know why, Zhang Wanhua. Have you been the empress for so long that you have forgotten what you said when you brought us back?"

The Queen trembled slightly. The palace was lonely. The scenes of those years had been replaying before her eyes all these years.

But remember, these are not the reasons why he acts so recklessly.

"Do you know that you are going to lose human lives by doing this?"

Foreign enemies invaded, countless people were left homeless, and countless soldiers were buried outside the Great Wall.

How dare he!

"So what?"

Xie Lang smiled coldly: "From the day you picked me up, you knew that I have no heart and no passion.

"Zhang Wanhua, since you brought us back, you can't just ignore us!

"If you live the life you want in the capital, I can tolerate it! But look at you, you are so ugly!

"Without me, you will never be able to leave the capital city in your life, leave that place that turns people into resentful women in the deep palace!

"I'm helping you. Aren't you happy that you can escape from there?"

The queen's body trembled constantly. She had never thought that the truth would be like this.

She thought she had finally found an opportunity to leave the capital, but in the end, this freedom... seemed like a huge joke.

On the way here, her determination to die seemed ridiculous.

Lu Xinran and the other person were completely stunned. The effect of seeing through the system and actually listening to the other party speaking actively was naturally different.

How could this person be so terrible?

[Is he trying to force the queen to death? Without him, the queen could still live in depression in the palace, but now...]

Having shouldered so many lives, this freedom was enough to make the Queen commit suicide on the battlefield.

Xie Lang listened to this sigh, and his cold eyes finally warmed up a little.

"But don't think too much. I was just using their own tricks. The Qiang people who had rushed to the Far West had already been ready to make a move. I just guided them appropriately after receiving the intelligence and asked them to advance the date of the siege."

"What about Yuchengguan? What about the people in the city?"

Qi Yu, who finally found his voice, stared at Xie Lang with fiery eyes.

Xie Lang shrugged: "Chahar has assembled nearly 300,000 troops this time. Do you think you can defend Yucheng Pass just because I want to?"

Winter had just passed and there was not much food or fodder left in the barracks.

Supplies were slow to arrive, and the emperor's resentment towards them never abated.

Without food and supplies, the soldiers are already having a hard time. Now they are being pressed by an army of 300,000. How are they going to defend Yucheng Pass?

Qi Yu gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth for a long time: "We can't defend the city, but we can't abandon it. How will the people in the city look at us if we do this!"

"Whatever," Xie Lang leaned back in his chair and looked at the queen lazily again, "You want to fight to the death even though you know you can't bear it. The dog emperor is not worth my life to defend the city for him."

The queen closed her eyes. Her heart had been up and down all day, and only now did she feel temporarily relieved from the torment.

"As early as when I found out that Chahar was going to attack the city, I had already sent people to evacuate the city and let all the people who could leave escape."

Especially those families with girls, regardless of age, brought them to Hanyu Pass.

The people who are now cooking, mending clothes, and boiling medicine for the soldiers in the city are all these people.

Lu Xinran looked at the booklet with mixed feelings.

This person is neither good nor evil, and it is impossible to judge him, and the other party does not need to judge him either.

"Okay, sit down and eat something. Aren't we going to discuss how to take back Yucheng Pass? After eating, call those lieutenants back and we will discuss it together.

"But I advise you not to hold out too much hope, or the dog emperor will send another 100,000 reinforcements here.

"Otherwise, if you only bring those 50,000 people with you, you are just dreaming to take back Yucheng Pass."

The queen looked at him coldly, trying to discern how much truth there was in his words.

Xie Lang didn't care about his suspicion. He just put his long arm on the back of her chair and said something casually.

"The little girl you brought with you can tell whether what I said is true or not, right? Why don't you just ask her?"

Lu Xinran, who was nominated, felt nervous and looked at Lu Xinlan subconsciously.

This person, what does this person mean?
