Chapter 15
In the Sheng State military camp, several generals stood in front of the conference table and looked at each other.
"Let me take another look at this letter." A swarthy general picked up the letter from the table, examined it carefully from top to bottom, and concluded, "This is your Majesty's handwriting."
"Why would His Majesty suddenly ask us to withdraw our troops?"
General Heipi held up the letter in confusion: "Is there any secret in this letter?"
He lifted the letter and placed it in the beam of light, but nothing changed. He then ran to light the lamp, but the letter remained unchanged even after being heated for a long time.
"Does it need to be soaked in water?" General Heipi said to himself.
He was about to try it, but Chu Sui, who had been silent for a long time, said, "No need to try, this is the order of His Majesty."
There are only two possible reasons why Your Majesty wrote this letter.
First, he was coerced.
Second, he was convinced.
Chu Sui thought about two possibilities, neither of which was good.
If His Majesty is detained by the Yu people, they will certainly send heavy troops to surround him, and rescuing him will be difficult. If His Majesty negotiates peace with the Yu people...
Their new emperor of Sheng State was ambitious and had great ambitions. Having already decided to attack Yu State, he would never easily give in to peace talks. Moreover, with food and troops already at the border of Yu State, returning in disgrace would surely be ridiculed by the world.
How could the new emperor tolerate this?
Chu Sui couldn't understand any reason why His Majesty would agree to peace talks unless the State of Yu was willing to cede several cities to the State of Sheng.
It would be a great thing if we could capture several cities in Yu State without spending a single soldier.
But would Emperor Yu be willing to give up his territory?
Chu Sui shook his head, it was impossible.
Although Emperor Yu was young, he had been on the throne for four years. He managed state affairs in an orderly manner, and the Yu Kingdom had prospered under his rule. He was no pushover, and certainly not one to be intimidated by the Sheng Kingdom's army.
After thinking about it over and over again, Chu Sui still couldn't figure it out.
Your Majesty can't possibly withdraw your troops just for Lu Jing, right?
Chu Sui sneered helplessly, laughing at himself for being so anxious that he could even come up with such a fantastic reason.
-
The ancient Yue County Governor's Mansion.
The new emperor, who was greatly worried about by the generals of Sheng State, was serving the emperor of Yu State attentively.
"Your Majesty, taste these grapes."
A purple jade grape was brought to Yu Zhi's mouth, but he turned his head away and said, "I don't want to eat it."
"Your Majesty, take a bite. It's sour and sweet, very delicious. Don't you like eating sweet and sour things these days? This is just what you like. Have one."
Yu Zhi lowered his eyes. The grapes in front of him were round like pearls, and the skin was deep purple. They looked extremely tempting. He lowered his head and put the grapes into his mouth.
When he picked up the grape, the tip of his tongue accidentally slid across Luo Tingshi's fingertips, and Luo Tingshi's fingertips moved slightly.
Yu Zhi glanced at him, his eyelids raised in a cold light: "Luo Tingshi, don't have any evil thoughts."
Luo Tingshi was quite helpless: "In your Majesty's eyes, am I someone who thinks about that all the time?"
Yu Zhi: "Isn't it? Humph, I don't know how those people in your palace can stand you, being in heat all day long..."
"When the old emperor was alive, he gave me several concubines, but I never touched them. After I ascended the throne, I sent them away one by one."
Luo Tingshi slowly raised his eyes, looked directly into Yu Zhi's eyes, and said word by word: "Your Majesty, I only have you."
Yu Zhi was slightly stunned. Was it Luo Tingshi's first time that night?
No wonder he was in so much pain at first.
The donkey rushed forward recklessly, digging deeper and deeper, and he was almost killed.
Yu Zhi snorted coldly: "No wonder your level is so poor."
Luo Tingshi's expression froze, and he couldn't maintain the smile on his face: "Really?"
Seeing this, Yu Zhi raised the corner of his lips. As he approached Luo Ting, he deliberately whispered in his ear, "How dare you covet me? There are many men in Dayu who are more capable than you."
Luo Tingshi could no longer smile. A dark cloud covered his face. His gaze fixed on Yu Zhi, and he spoke slowly, "I will definitely study hard and help Your Majesty enter a state of bliss every night, where you will feel like a fairy and want to die."
Yu Zhi: “…”
This man really has nothing good to say. He shouldn't have started this.
Yu Zhi was so angry that his teeth itched: "If you say filthy words to me again, I will have your tongue pulled out."
Luo Tingshi: "When feelings are strong, how can you hold back?"
Yu Zhi: "...How dare you contradict me?"
Luo Tingshi: "I really want to contradict Your Majesty."
"Well, you keep contradicting me. I want..." Yu Zhi was furious. Just as he was about to punish Luo Ting, something suddenly flashed through his mind and his eyes widened. "You, you!"
Yu Zhicai realized——
The "contradiction" that Luo Tingshi referred to was not his "contradiction".
Yu Zhi was speechless when he pointed at Luo Ting.
As the emperor, no one dared to say such words to him. Unexpectedly, within one day, he was insulted by this man with obscene and lewd words several times.
Yu Zhi no longer wanted to stay with Luo Tingshi, so he turned away and left, leaving behind a cold remark.
"Kneel here and reflect on your actions. Do not stand up without my order. If you dare to lift your knees even an inch from the ground, I will not forgive you!"
-
When Luo Tingshi knelt, he knelt until the moon was on the branch.
His eyes followed the moonlight that moved into the room, and Luo Tingshi suddenly chuckled.
The little thing has a bad temper.
But it's not cruel enough. As a martial artist, there's nothing wrong with kneeling down.
Being so soft-hearted and so innocent, he could hardly resist the urge to tease the little emperor. Every time he heard his words, the little emperor's cheeks would turn red with shame and anger, and his expression was so touching.
What is the little emperor doing now?
"Gugu-gu-gu-gu"
There were a few howling sounds of night owls outside. Luo Tingshi's eyes moved, and he quickly stood up, climbed out of the window quietly, leaped into the moonlight, and flew to the southeast corner outside the county magistrate's mansion.
"His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, you are fine!"
In the corner, a group of men in black stepped out of the shadows, approached him happily, and saluted him in low voices.
Chu Sui looked Luo Tingshi over inconspicuously and asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, you weren't detained by them?"
Luo Tingshi: "To make a long story short, you withdraw your troops and return to the capital, and I will stay in Yu for the time being."
Chu Sui: "Your Majesty, are you really not going to fight anymore?"
Luo Tingshi: "Why are you hitting me? If you hit me again, my wife and children will be gone."
Everyone: “???”
They must have heard it right, what wife and children.
Everyone looked at Chu Sui, who shook his head helplessly and asked for everyone else: "Your Majesty, who are your wife and children?"
Luo Tingshi said, "You do not need to meddle in my family affairs. Withdraw your troops immediately. When Chu Sui returns to the capital, tell Prime Minister Wei that he will temporarily take charge of government affairs. If there are any important matters, send someone to Yu State as fast as possible and I will make the decision."
Chu Sui's heart sank.
Did Your Majesty really withdraw his troops just for Lu Jing?
Chu Sui: "Your Majesty..."
Before he could finish his words, the person in front of him rose and fell and disappeared into the night.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one said a word.
Chu Sui gritted his teeth and shouted coldly, "Go! Return to the camp and retreat."
-
Luo Tingshi landed lightly in the courtyard and was about to raise his foot when his expression suddenly changed. His thin eyelids contained a narrow light and he rushed straight towards the tightly closed door.
Stay a moment.
He straightened his clothes and walked towards the room leisurely.
Moonlight poured down like water. In the slanting cold light, Luo Tingshi pushed open the door, stepped into the moonlight, and disappeared into the dark room.
There was a sound of shallow breathing in the room.
Luo Tingshi curled his lips, walked towards the dark figure sitting in the hall, and asked in a low voice: "When did His Majesty return?"
Yu Zhi slowly raised his head: "Where have you been?"
Luo Tingshi spoke frankly, "General Chu came to see me. They mistakenly believed I was imprisoned by the Yu Kingdom. I have just explained this to General Chu, and they will withdraw tomorrow."
Yu Zhi asked suspiciously, "Really?"
Luo Tingshi smiled softly, his voice gentle: "I swear, if it's false, I will never be able to touch you or kiss you again..."
"Luo, Ting, Shi!"
Yu Zhi shouted angrily. If he didn't stop him, Luo Tingshi's next words would definitely be...
Damn you bastard!
Yu Zhi kicked Luo Tingshi's knee. Luo Tingshi gasped, his body swayed, and he fell heavily to his knees.
"I said, without my permission, you must remain kneeling."
Yu Zhi leaned over and patted Luo Tingshi's cheek: "Tell me, how should I punish you?"
