Chapter 226 Betting on You to Withdraw
Soon, the news that the "fairy lady" had calculated that there might be royal blood in the army was passed on to General Minyuan by Mr. Lu.
General Minyuan sneered coldly, as if waiting to see how they could continue to deceive him: "Miss Xiaodie is in cahoots with you. Let me ask you, do you believe it or not?"
Master Lu clasped his fists calmly and said, "General, you may not know that we and Xiaodie's family are not acquainted with each other..."
Then, he told the story again about how the people from Aozigou came to Yangliu Town, and tried his best to point out that his understanding of Ding Xiaodie was limited to thinking that this girl was indeed very mysterious.
But no matter what, General Minyuan still didn't believe it. He just felt that the words "royal blood" touched the bottom line of his heart.
Although he was in the army, he still heard about what happened in the royal family.
But as a pillar of the country, he was unwilling to believe it and refused to believe it.
But one thing is, what if?
What if? All the helplessness, confusion and indecision, like a voice constantly echoing in his mind, made him dare not belittle himself or be careless.
"Alright, call them all to my tent. As for the royal bloodline thing, I absolutely don't believe it. Even if the emperor really did leave the palace, even if he favored a woman, the palace servants would have recorded it and there would be no mistakes."
"Yes, I'm going to call."
Master Lu turned and left. General Minyuan was embarrassed, very embarrassed. He had to hold up a fig leaf for his master and keep the matter secret.
Soon Ding Xiaodie and her group arrived at General Minyuan's tent. She pointed lightly with her fingertips and said, "That's him."
Yun Liu smoothed the hair at his temples and stood out with a calm expression.
Min Yuan stood up and walked in front of him, looking him over, his thick brows furrowed. He circled back and forth three times, "Ding Xiaodie, what makes you say he has the aura of an emperor's bloodline?"
Ding Xiaodie didn't say much, but looked at Yun Liu: "Master Yun Liu, let's start!"
Yun Liu nodded lightly, turned around and whistled towards the tent door...
Everyone was waiting curiously to see what would happen. After a while, a colorful bird flew into the tent and landed on Yunliu's shoulder.
This bird is very large, incomparable to ordinary birds. It has a red crown on its head and its feathers are extremely beautiful. If someone who doesn't know much about it sees it, they would almost mistake it for a phoenix.
This scene made General Yuan feel nervous.
Ding Xiaodie asked him, "General Minyuan, do you know this kind of bird? It's called the Auspicious Bird. It's only found in mountains like Dayun Mountain. It's very proud. It's said that someone caught one by chance and wanted to keep it as a pet, but the bird would rather die crying and vomiting blood than be kept in a cage for people to enjoy.
Now, this unprecedentedly proud auspicious bird has followed its heart and obediently followed Young Master Yunliu. I heard that it has been following him since he was very young."
"Yes, I can't train birds, but when I was a child, both my parents died, and this auspicious bird was the only one that followed me willingly." Yun Liu feigned innocence. "It wasn't until Miss Xiaodie and Master Lu met me in the mountains. What did you say today? This kind of auspicious bird usually only rides on the shoulders of nobles. What? Am I a noble?"
Everyone knows what is going on, but they still have to show a surprised expression.
But General Minyuan was different. He was very surprised because he had heard this legend from others a long time ago, but should he believe it?
So he asked Yun Liu in detail: "You have a father and a mother, they are just dead?"
Yun Liu nodded: "Yes, and when my mother died, she told me that they adopted me."
"Tsk tsk, your life experience is really pitiful." Ding Gui sighed without missing the opportunity.
General Minyuan was about to ask more questions when Ding Xiaodie hurried forward and pulled the cloth bag off Yunliu's waist: "General Minyuan, please look at this gem."
After saying that, he opened the bag.
Wow, a ruby as big as half an adult's fist.
The key is that the texture and transparency of this gem are absolutely unique in the gem world.
At this time, not only was Mr. Lu surprised, even Min Yuan widened his eyes. After all, no one had ever seen such a big gem!
Ding Xiaodie said, "Master Yunliu, tell me the origin of the gem."
Yun Liu nodded and said, "This is what my mother and I left behind when she passed away. She said that as long as I hold this gem, someone noble will come to help me one day and I will be able to return to where I belong."
"A ruby this big is something that ordinary people, not to mention the royal family, might not even be able to see in their lifetime. I guess someone knew Young Master Yun Liu's background, so they sent this gem to their family."
"I have been doing business for several years and have come into contact with many merchants, but I have never seen, let alone heard of, such a large ruby." Mr. Lu stepped forward and told the truth.
He had indeed never seen it, and he had no idea where Ding Xiaodie got this gem.
Even Ding Gui had a look of surprise on his face. Is this true? Does that dimension also give away gems?
And only Ding Xiaodie's heart is bleeding, her ruby. o(╥﹏╥)o
Would General Minyuan believe it if I didn't use these two moves?
She had no choice. In order to save the country, this loss was too painful!
This time, General Minyuan frowned even more tightly.
Listen to what Yun Liu said, "Go back to where you should go back to," and the auspicious bird that never left his shoulder, plus this rare ruby.
You know why I like this young man more and more the more I look at him. From his brows, I can actually see a bit of nobility that is different from ordinary people.
But he couldn't admit that he kind of believed in this kind of thing, right?
If he admitted it, wouldn't that also mean he was admitting that his boss, the emperor, had an affair outside the palace?
Uh, no, if what was spread in the palace is true, then the emperor cannot be blamed. Moreover, in order to help the emperor clear the label of cuckoldry, Yun Liu must be brought back and the matter must be clarified.
While General Minyuan was thinking, Ding Xiaodie and others were always nervous, fearing that he would be swayed by other ideas. Once he had the idea of disbelief, her plan would fail.
Fortunately, General Minyuan paused for a moment and then said, "Xiaodie, didn't you say you had the care of Guanyin Bodhisattva? How about this? Is this Young Master Yunliu of royal blood? Unless you can conjure up a bucket of water here, I won't believe you."
"Believing is not enough. In order to protect Prince Yunliu and allow him to return to the palace safely, the general must withdraw his troops fifty miles and garrison in Wo County." Ding Xiaodie immediately put forward his chips.
She was also paving a downhill road for General Minyuan. That was enough. He knew the outcome of the war.
But after hearing such conditions, Min Yuan still looked so angry that he wanted to spit blood: "I, Min Yuan, have so many soldiers at my disposal, but you ask me to retreat... But, that's fine, as long as you can become a bucket of water, then I can retreat."
