Chapter 251 Even the Nine Heavens Gods and Buddhas cannot save all the people in the world
After all, no one wants to be the target of someone else's anger all day long.
[It's so funny, my ex-husband has to wonder if Su Changxue likes the princess eight hundred times every day. Who can stand this?]
[More than that, it's also weird]
[He also keeps bringing up the past between him and the princess. Do you really think Su Changxue likes to hear it?]
[In addition to mental abuse, he also has to endure the entanglement and abuse of Chu Yinyin and Lu Chenzhou every day. It is simply too painful to watch.]
[Or Su Changxue would have run away carrying the train overnight?]
However, Xiao Tingye's focus was not on Su Changxue's first sentence, but on the last few words of the second half of the sentence.
On the words "Promise with the Princess".
The corners of his lips curled up into a half-smile, "Agreement with Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
The arc that seems to be holding a smile actually sends a chill down one's spine for no reason.
He Xi staggered as he picked up the wine cup to drink, causing a few drops of wine to spill out.
Su Changxue brushed his sleeve lightly and sat upright, "It's inconvenient to explain this in detail to Master Xiao."
"Bang!"
The wine cup shattered.
The wine cup that Xiao Tingye had been holding in his hand had now shattered into powder.
A cold light flashed in his raised eyes.
"Master Su, is he relying on Her Royal Highness the Princess to show off his power in front of this commander?"
Su Changxue remained calm, oblivious to the aggressive questioning. A faint smile played at the corner of his lips, and he nodded slightly, saying, "From now on, I will inevitably have to trouble Lord Xiao more often. I've been traveling so long today, could Lord Xiao arrange a place for me to stay?"
Su Changxue is the young master of Shenli Valley, and he is very proud.
Naturally, it is impossible to bow down in front of Xiao Tingye.
He seemed gentle as jade, his every move displaying the elegance and grace of a young master from an aristocratic family, yet his every word and sentence always managed to precisely hit Xiao Tingye's sore spot. This kind of subtle yet subtle behavior made it hard to tell whether it was deliberate or an accident.
Xiao Tingye stared at him for a long while, then said softly, "He Xi, arrange a tent for Master Su to rest."
He Xi stood up: "Yes, sir."
"Mr. Su, please come this way."
Su Changxue also stood up, nodded slightly, then turned around and followed He Xi out.
After they left, Xiao Tingye called Yinchuan again.
He said coldly: "This Mr. Su, there is no need to settle so well."
Yinchuan immediately understood, "I understand."
[I'm dying of laughter! I knew Xiao wouldn't let his love rival have an easy time.]
[Lao Xiao: If I can't kill you, can't I humiliate you?]
[After all, he is the young master of Shenli Valley. The royal families of various countries have to beg him. Su Changxue also has the capital.]
[So does Su Changxue really like the princess? ]
I think it's just a kind of admiration?
[No, I think it's admiration. The princess made a slight move, and he won me over.]
After Yinchuan went down, Xiao Tingye's gaze slowly fell on the seat where Su Changxue had just sat.
It seems.
It was very likely that he was the one who tipped her off about the granary being looted and the secret passage.
Since Su Changxue was Xiling's staff member, it was impossible for him not to know these things.
Since he could become Xiling's aide, it is impossible for him to know nothing about Xiling.
Even though Lu Shi and his son were completely open with him.
But considering his ability, it is not difficult for him to know these things.
The Young Master of Shenli Valley...
No wonder she was willing to go to great lengths to lure him into a trap.
Su Changxue stayed in Xiao Tingye's tent.
However, looking at the tattered tents and the simple meals that were delivered.
Su Changxue's eyes and brows also turned a little colder.
"Mr. Su, I'm sorry, the conditions in the military camp are not good. These are all we have. Please make do with them." said the soldier who came to deliver the food.
Su Changxue glanced at the steamed buns in the tent that smelled almost rotten, his eyes solemn.
After the soldiers left, Su Changxue's confidant Ah Heng frowned, "Is this what Commander Xiao did to you? Who in the world would have the guts to make you eat something like this?"
Ah Heng is Su Changxue's confidant. He had gone out to carry out a mission and just returned to him.
Just now, he was dressed as a follower and stood behind Su Changxue at the table.
So I also know the tit-for-tat between Su Changxue and Xiao Tingye just now.
However, the young master rarely spoke so sharply, so why was he so unyielding in front of Lord Xiao?
He could see the murderous intent that flashed across Lord Xiao's eyes.
Even he himself was afraid of that kind of murderous intent that was materialized.
He knew very well that Lord Xiao was very different from others.
At that moment, he was really worried that the young master would die at the hands of that man.
Unlike before, when he was with Lu Chenzhou, he never worried that anything would happen to the young master.
But in front of this man named Xiao Tingye, he actually felt apprehensive and was really afraid that the young master would be killed by him.
What kind of magic power does Her Royal Highness the Princess have?
The young master is actually willing to give up Xiling, whom he once chose?
In his opinion.
In this world, even if Shenligu chose a beggar, this beggar could still become an emperor.
Even if Xiling's power is declining, as long as it gets the support of Shenli Valley, it can still reach the highest position.
But the young master didn't want Xiling anymore.
It's really unbelievable.
Su Changxue's eyebrows twitched, and he said calmly, "Since Commander Xiao doesn't welcome us, then we can go out and hunt some game."
Ah Heng nodded and turned to leave.
Duanyun Village.
"Your Highness, food is being distributed in the village now. Would you like to go and take a look?"
Mingxi ran over and saw Lin Zhaoyue standing on the cliff. His expression suddenly changed, "Your Highness, please come over here. It's dangerous here."
Lin Zhaoyue's position was just right to overlook the surrounding mountains. Looking down, she could see the entire Duanyun Mountain.
And as far as the eye can see, even further away, are the five cities of Xiling.
Mingxi walked quickly to Lin Zhaoyue's side.
"Gu Zhao and the others are distributing food to the brothers in the village. With this batch of food, the village will be able to survive this winter."
He paused, "However, Your Highness, the situation in the five cities of Xiling is probably worse than we imagined. According to spies, the city's grain and salt are running out, and the people are suffering from famine due to the blockade. Now that the Xiling granary has been looted, I am worried that the people will..."
Mingxi herself certainly doesn't worry about these insignificant people.
But he knew that the princess would care.
Lin Zhaoyue said calmly, "Xiling couldn't have been completely unprepared all these years. Since they were going to fight, there must be food stored within the city. However, the Lu family is unwilling to release the grain. And if... the Lu family can't be relied upon, then the people can only rely on the imperial court."
"Since Lu Chenzhou is unwilling to open the granaries and release the grain, how can I possibly allow the Xiling Army to be well-fed and use it to fight against the imperial court?"
She suddenly smiled and said, "Mingxi, in fact, most of the time, human nature is very simple. Whoever gives you food when you are hungry is a good person."
Mingxi blinked.
Lin Zhaoyue looked towards the direction of the Five Cities of Xiling. "A ruler cannot only have a benevolent heart."
"Because nothing in this world is perfect, there are always... trade-offs. I can only try my best to do what I should and what I can. After all, even the Nine Heavens Gods and Buddhas cannot save all the people in the world."
Xiao Tingye always said that she was soft-hearted.
She admitted it.
But all she asked for was to let those who shouldn't die live, and let those who should live live well.
But she is not a god after all, and cannot make everyone get what they want.
She can devote all her energy to creating a peaceful and prosperous world.
I can also face this hell on earth with a cold eye.
Whether on the battlefield with swords and sabers, or in the court without bloodshed,
The lower-class people are always the first pawns to be sacrificed.
This is the eternal fate.
She believes that this is true even for those behind the subtitles.
Because this is the law of the jungle in the world.
She didn't like Xiao Ting's massacre of the city at night, but she thought that many people could have survived.
She was also very clear about the war between Xiling and the imperial court this time.
There will inevitably be people who will be implicated.
All she could do was to end this war as soon as possible.
Let the Lu father and son surrender when they are out of water and food, and it would be best if we could take Xiling without spending a single soldier.
Xiao Tingye originally planned to break into the city directly.
But--
As far as she knew, not all soldiers in the Xiling Army were Xiling Death Soldiers.
Although Xiling has been recruiting soldiers and horses.
But there are not so many strong young people to join the army.
So they indiscriminately captured many able-bodied men, and even captured many young men from surrounding towns to join the army.
However, a part of the Xiling Army did not actually know that they were rebels and were accused of treason.
She also learned this from Mingxi's inquiry at the Marquis' Mansion and from Su Changxue's conversation with her.
But the Lu father and son refused to obey until their death.
In the end, they could only break the city.
Once Xiao Tingye's Black Armor Army arrives in Xiling, there will not be much time left for Xiling.
Once the siege begins, it will be a fight to the death.
This is a cruel purgatory for both Xiling and its people.
She told Xiao Tingye all the information about the situation in the city, hoping that he would be able to make some decisions.
In the original plot, Xiling did not become a rebel.
Moreover, they have a long time to plan and even revitalize the army.
At this point in time, Lu Chenzhou should have been making waves in the capital.
But now he is in control of Xiling and is at war with the imperial court.
Ming Xi murmured softly, "Even the nine gods and Buddhas cannot save all the people in the world..."
He was silent for a moment, as if he understood something.
"Your Highness is right," he said.
Lin Zhaoyue: “Hmm?”
Ming Xi added seriously, "Whatever Your Highness says is right."
It seems like a complete master brain.
Lin Zhaoyue chuckled, "That's not always right. I'm not a saint...
Something suddenly occurred to her, "Even saints make mistakes."
Ming Xi didn't care, "Your Highness is more powerful than a saint."
Lin Zhaoyue was pleased with Mingxi's flattery and smiled happily.
Ming Xi suddenly remembered: "Your Highness, when did Su Changxue betray Lu Chenzhou?"
Mingxi has been following His Highness all the time.
But I didn't notice anything.
I have never heard Su Changxue explicitly say that he would do things for the princess.
He just felt that Su Changxue cared too much about the princess.
The old man came to see the princess while Lu Chenzhou was away.
It's like having an affair.
shameless.
[Fishman asked what I also wanted to know]
"Ah, I'm curious too. When exactly was it? I watched closely and didn't see you two plotting anything."
[The little fishman follows the princess around every day but doesn’t know about it, let alone us.]
[Actually, I guessed it. Let me see if what the princess said is the same as what I guessed.]
