Chapter 275 Does Your Highness have any ideas?
Lu Chenzhou stared at Xiao Tingye with a sinister look, gnashing his teeth at every word, "Xiao Tingye!"
Xiao Tingye raised his chin, his eyes teasing.
The arrogance couldn't be any more arrogant.
Lu Chenzhou sneered, "No matter how much you bark, Yue'er was once my wife. No, Yue'er is still my wife now. If you hadn't used some tricks, how could we possibly get divorced!"
Obviously, Lu Chenzhou's words touched upon Xiao Tingye's even more unhappy spot.
He raised the bow and arrow again.
His eyes were cold and filled with terrifying murderous intent.
Lu Chenzhou did not retreat, but took a knife from the person next to him and stared straight at Xiao Tingye.
Xiao Tingye sneered, "Trash."
He slowly put down the bow and arrow in his hand.
It was as if he was deliberately teasing Lu Chenzhou.
Instead, it made Lu Chenzhou look even more ferocious.
Lin Zhaoyue said calmly, "Lu Chenzhou, if you know what's good for you, lead all the Xiling soldiers to surrender. That way, you can die with dignity."
Lu Chenzhou looked at her with a complicated expression, and suddenly laughed sadly, "You know very well that it's impossible for me to go that far."
He wanted to say something to her, but Lin Zhaoyue had already reined in her horse and turned around.
Only his back was left.
Lu Chenzhou clenched his fists and stared at her leaving figure.
But soon, the figure was blocked by Xiao Tingye who turned around behind him.
He protected her behind her and followed her step by step into the Xuanjia Army.
Soon, the two of them disappeared.
He was left behind like a joke.
Lin Zhaoyue rode her horse in front.
"The two armies are at war, what's the point of taking action at this time?" she said calmly.
Xiao Tingye rode behind her on horseback, his lips curled, "When I fight, I never follow any rules."
Lin Zhaoyue stopped her horse and waited until Xiao Tingye walked to her side before she looked at him.
He smiled and said, "Indeed, when the two armies were fighting, you don't know how many envoys were killed."
Although she did not see Xiao Tingye on the battlefield in those years.
But she knew exactly what he had done.
Indeed, Xiao Tingye is not a person who plays by the rules.
When two armies fought, he never followed any rules.
If the enemy general said something that displeased him, he would chop off his head on the spot.
If the envoy sent by the enemy to negotiate says something he shouldn't, he will also suffer a bad fate.
But because he is strong enough, these unruly behavior of his are just some harmless flaws under the halo of the God of War.
It also added to his reputation for ferocity and his reputation as Yama.
Therefore, after he returned to the court, he actually had a difficult time at first.
Because not all officials can accept Xiao Tingye like this.
But he also used the methods he was best at on the battlefield and played power games with great success.
After saying this, Lin Zhaoyue walked forward.
But in a moment, Xiao Tingye caught up with her.
His voice rang out slowly: "If Your Highness doesn't like it, I, your humble servant, can learn to behave myself."
Lin Zhaoyue was slightly surprised, then smiled and said nothing.
Xiao Tingye caught a glimpse of the smile on her lips, and the corners of his lips unconsciously lifted up.
A cold wind blew, and a unique warmth was reflected among the gleaming iron of the sword.
[It's so sweet, I'm rolling around, woooo ...
[+1]
He said he could learn to behave better, did you hear that, Princess?
[It turns out it feels so good to train a bunch of crazy wolf dogs into puppies]
[I'm going crazy, stop laughing, my face is almost frozen (silly smile)]
[I think the male protagonist is going crazy]
[It's fate. If the hero had awakened earlier, maybe...]
"Impossible. The princess has already said that even if he awakened earlier, he would only want to enjoy the benefits of having two wives. Besides, he also wanted to seize the princess's kingdom, so he was already eliminated."
Today, the news that Princess Zhaohua appeared in person at the city gate spread throughout Xiling.
Everyone knew that Princess Zhaohua had made a personal promise, and even Princess Zhaohua's words were read aloud repeatedly by special messengers outside every city.
However, not long after, a caravan arrived at Shilipo.
At this time, Lin Zhaoyue was looking at the information about Xia Yu and Tuoba Jing brought back by Chi Dian.
Xia Yu is still trapped in Daxia and has not yet returned to Shengguo.
As for Tuoba Jing, he has now become their hostage, and Sheng State is trying to find a way to negotiate with them.
"Sheng Kingdom wants to send an envoy to negotiate and bring back their crown prince Tuoba Jing." Lin Zhaoyue said lightly.
Xiao Tingye raised his eyes. "Negotiate?" He seemed to have heard a joke. "When did a defeated general become qualified to negotiate?"
His slender fingers held the silver knife, and the blade moved slowly along the pear skin. Circles of peel hung down like silk ribbons. His movements were so delicate that it seemed as if he was carving a work of art.
"Your Highness, you should know that the commanders assigned to Jiangcheng are all brave generals who once accompanied me through life and death." The blade drew a graceful arc across the pear-shaped face. "With them in charge, even if Sheng Kingdom has thousands of troops, it will not be able to easily recapture those three cities."
"The initiative is no longer in the hands of Sheng Nation. What they should be worried about most is that after we have dealt with Xiling, we will turn our attention to them. However... this opportunity is rare."
He looked at Lin Zhaoyue meaningfully, "Your Highness, do you have any ideas?"
Lin Zhaoyue said calmly, "Can you guess why I arranged for a surprise attack on Jiangcheng?"
Xiao Tingye raised his eyebrows slightly, and the two of them already understood.
We all know what to do next.
The tip of the knife in Xiao Tingye's hand was suspended in mid-air. "I am curious, when did Your Highness take control of the waterway?"
The waterways in this world have never been a smooth road for anyone to travel on.
The important water transport was firmly controlled by the aristocratic families, and their spheres of influence were interwoven like a spider web.
The waterways were riddled with hidden reefs and dangerous shoals, and pirates were rampant. Without the protection of aristocratic families, ordinary merchants would have difficulty making progress. However, those aristocratic families controlled the safest routes and the most sturdy ships.
Everyone knows that if you want to travel safely on the water, you can only ask the aristocratic families for permission to pass through.
There are several important waterways in Daxia, which are controlled by aristocratic families.
However, the Xuanjia Army's food and supplies were able to arrive quickly via the waterway, more than half a month earlier than expected.
The important water transport route from the granary to Xiling, which should have been controlled by the aristocratic families, is now used by the army.
What is even more amazing is that the defenders of the surrendered city also took advantage of the waterway to transport supplies to the soldiers who had sneaked into the city without anyone noticing.
The silver knife spun lightly, and a piece of crystal pear flesh was held on the tip of the knife and handed to Lin Zhaoyue's lips.
Lin Zhaoyue didn't refuse and opened her mouth to take it in.
The sweet juice spread between her lips and teeth. After she swallowed it, the corners of her lips curled up slightly: "The waterway was not taken by me."
