Chapter 285 Sending a Beauty
King Liang's letter was still on its way to Huaiyuan.
On the other side in Huaiyuan, on the eighth day of the stalemate, the Wenxiang Kingdom finally couldn't bear it anymore and sent envoys to seek peace.
Staying outside Huaiyuan City for a long time not only consumes food and fodder, but also consumes people's morale.
Liang Xiang's subordinates naturally hoped to continue fighting, fighting hard, but the situation was beyond their control. Shentu Yu, who had previously supported Liang Xiang, now turned into a peace advocate.
To show his sincerity, Shentu Yu took the initiative to serve as an envoy.
Although it was customary for warring countries not to kill envoys, the fact that Shentu Yu was able to take over this hot potato still made everyone else breathe a sigh of relief. They stopped arguing and sent Shentu Yu out the door and on their way.
The Huaiyuan city gate, which had been closed for a long time, was finally opened.
Shentu Yu and his followers looked up at the same time.
"General." The follower called out unconsciously, while tightening his grip on the reins to relieve the pressure.
No one dares to let Cheng Nianying ride a horse now.
Although she felt okay, she didn't think it was necessary to take such a risk. As a mother, she should love and protect her children.
Cheng Nianying lowered her head and touched her belly, but couldn't feel anything.
She then raised her head again, and while riding on the sedan chair, surrounded by the crowd, she met Shentu Yu's eyes.
How could Shentu Yu not recognize her?
That day, the girl rode her horse behind him, and he wanted to shoot her with an arrow, but he missed the chance...
It was she who took away the five princes! She also took away the common people of the Huan Dynasty!
Shentu Yu suppressed his turbulent emotions and galloped towards the city gate on his horse.
At that time, two lines of troops marched out of the city gate, holding weapons and spears, with a cold momentum.
Unlike the soldiers in the border town, they were not filled with overflowing anger and murderous intent. Instead, there was a kind of indifference from top to bottom.
They are the army coming from Imperial Capital!
Shen Tu Yu turned his gaze and saw a man and a woman riding high on horseback among the troops.
They are all young.
The woman wore a high ponytail and a pink shirt. The man, not yet old enough to wear a wedding cap, had a stiff, mask-like expression on his face.
But Shentu Yu recognized both of them.
Wasn't the former the one who came back with the Third Prince and kept saying she was a maid at the Sifang Pavilion? He had misjudged her! The other party wasn't some weak woman who came here for wealth and glory!
The latter, when he looked at the quiver on his back, saw that it was the sharpshooter on the city wall that day!
In short, none of them are good!
"Put down your weapons." Wangyue said to Shentu Yudao.
After saying this, Wangyue couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
A little killer, will one day be able to use his power to call out to the generals of other countries?
It seemed as if she was some important person, not an ant that could be crushed to death with just a step.
When Shentu Yu heard this, he gritted his teeth and obediently took off the sword he was carrying.
But how could someone like Wangyue, who was born as a killer, be so easily at ease?
She jumped off the horse and searched Shen Tu Yu carefully.
Finally, the dagger, whetstone, and ear pick hanging from his waist were taken away.
"Okay." Wangyue said.
Shentu Yu's expression suddenly became tense, and the followers behind him felt even more offended by this action.
The attendant's face flushed. "The general came here with sincerity..."
Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Shentu Yu.
Otherwise, why did the others happily agree to serve as envoys when he mentioned it? Coming here to seek peace now, aren't they just going to be dogs?
"Can I see the crown prince?" Shentu Yu asked Wangyue.
Wangyue led the way and brought him to Cheng Nianying.
Shentu Yu stopped and looked around.
"Why don't you pay your respects to the Crown Prince?" Wan Boqi took two steps forward on his horse and said condescendingly.
Shentu Yu had dealt with Wan Boqi before, a veteran of the Huan Dynasty who should not be underestimated. The crown prince he mentioned...
Shentu Yu had to turn his gaze back to Cheng Nianying.
——No, are they crazy? They actually let the crown prince of the Huan Dynasty come to the military camp to rescue people?
Shentu Yu was so shocked he couldn't speak for a long time, not even bothering to worry about the fact that the crown prince was a woman. Mohei Kingdom even had a female crown prince. The Huan Dynasty rarely saw them, so these small nations didn't bother to make a fuss.
After a while, Shentu Yu finally digested the shock in his heart and bowed to Cheng Nianying: "May I ask if the fifth prince is doing well now?"
Cheng Nianying thought for a moment, then asked instead, "Why don't you ask about the whereabouts of the Third Prince?"
Shentu smiled bitterly in his heart.
Having boarded the wrong ship with Liang Xiang, he and the third prince could no longer be together.
However, he spoke with a righteous tone, "Please forgive my frankness. Although the Third Prince is the son of Queen Wenxiang, he betrayed the country and invited the enemy into the camp. Why should I worry about him?"
"The fifth prince also led the way for me." Cheng Nianying said.
"The Fifth Prince has a kind nature. If he had to offer himself as a hostage to save others' lives, it would be understandable."
"Don't the people in your camp hate him?"
"I just hope to return safely."
"oh."
Shen Tu Yu tried to get some meaning from Cheng Nianying's words, but she was the one who asked the questions first and led him by the nose.
He looked at Cheng Nianying's expression again. Her eyes were clear and cold. How could he tell what she was thinking?
Shen Tu Yu is a little different. Others may judge a person based on their background or gender.
His first reaction was to get closer to the third prince - Huan Dynasty had raised such a powerful crown prince!
At this time, Cheng Nianying slowly turned her head and said, "Come out, did you two hear it?"
When Shentu Yu heard the sound, his heart thumped twice.
The third and fifth princes were seen being led out from behind the sedan chair by soldiers.
The third prince's face looked extremely ugly.
The fifth prince was somewhat panic-stricken.
Cheng Nianying continued, "They don't want you to go back."
These words were obviously spoken to the third prince.
Shentu Yu looked at the third prince and felt as if he had been pierced by these words, his face turning even more pale.
Cheng Nianying looked at the fifth prince again: "They are all looking forward to your return, so let you go."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the third prince and the fifth prince changed.
The Third Prince endured it again and again, but he could no longer endure it: "In the beginning, I was the one who came to the capital to pay homage. I am the legitimate son. Whether it is according to the etiquette of Wen Xiang or the etiquette of Huan Dynasty, Huan Dynasty should help me, Wen Xiang, to rectify the chaos!"
After he finished speaking, he realized that his tone was harsh, and immediately softened his stance. He bowed and said, "The Crown Prince thought that I wanted to harm you for the sake of Wenxiang State that day. It was really a misunderstanding."
He was explaining this to Cheng Nianying as well as to Shentu Yu.
Is it really okay to let the cowardly fifth brother return to Wenxiang? The new crown prince of the Huan Dynasty is very powerful!
At least he still cared about Wen Xiang! He was willing to have such a dangerous idea for Wen Xiang!
Shentu Yu closed his eyes and confirmed again that the crown prince of Huan Dynasty was really capable.
What he just said was heard by the third prince himself.
Even if we die, we cannot let the Third Prince go back!
Once you have made a choice, you must stick to it.
Shentu Yu bowed and said, "The traitor Liang Xiang, obsessed with power, forced us to serve him and harass the border town. Now he has been executed... Wen Xiang is willing to hold the three princes as hostages in the imperial capital, and also offer gold, silver, silk, and a number of beauties..."
Speaking of this, Shentu Yu was slightly stunned.
It is always given to beautiful women.
But do we have to send strong men instead in the future?
