Chapter 191

Song Ye Xing couldn’t believe his eyes. That Yul Wang, who came to his bedside to console his father, like a warm spring breeze, now even threatened him with his father.

No …… not just father, he can easily get this trigger finger, only afraid of the entire Changguo Gongfu, are under the control of his people.

Could it be that from before he left, the emperor appointed him to assist King Yuh to come to the North True Country, he has already guarded himself?

He did not know that he had already revealed the cracks from the time when he falsely rumored Yu’s injury for the Emperor.

When Rong Xiang saw that he was caught in the middle, she greeted her second brother-in-law and ordered him to sit down again, ordering someone to pour him some wine.

Princess Zhaoren is sitting opposite him, her hands clasped in front of her chest, with a kissable look and a light tone: “Tell me, what secret orders did the Emperor give you? He wanted you to kill Enji, didn’t he?”

Song Ye Xing gazed at the princess, her appearance and voice followed Princess Hui Gui, it was gentle and lovely, to be able to speak such cold words out of a young girl’s general feelings.

For a moment, he was speechless. As the emperor’s order, these days he had been thinking about how to fulfill the emperor’s mission while ensuring his own safety. It had never occurred to him that Princess Zhaoren’s reaction to this matter.

“If you don’t have anything to say, then I’ll say it.” Zhou Xianyao drank a cup of wine, “The old Duke of State is waning, sooner or later, you will become the next Duke of State Chang. It’s a pity that the Duke of Chang’s family is a lowly title, and the generation will be worse than the next. You have been appointed as the General of the North, but the country has always been friendly with the Northern Kingdom of China, although you are a talented person in the army, but a good general in a peaceful and prosperous world, is far less valued than those who are civil ministers.

It so happens that now meets the north true country internal disorder thing, the emperor wants to take advantage of the grassland many tribes to lose the fighting strength of the time to send troops, easy annexation of the north true, and you …… are bent on making a world of achievements. In the grassland delayed the opportunity to strike, simply take the opportunity of my provincial relatives, encouraging Enji to come back together, so that on the way back to the capital to kill Enji. At that time, I am the Queen Regent, my son is the Lord of the Northern True Kingdom. We have no soldiers of the Northern True Kingdom and no people in the court, so we are forced by circumstances to submit to our father. From there, Father would then grow our country to a territory that even Emperor Tai|Zu never envisioned, and become the first emperor of the ages, right?”

After the words were spoken, the room fell silent.

Song Yexing’s heart sank to the bottom, not realizing that all of His Majesty’s plans had been seen by his two children. Song Ye Xing suddenly sensed something and stared at Rong Xiang Mi, “That night, you mentioned the matter of returning to the capital for the province to En Ji in front of me, just to test me?”

Rong Xiangshi didn’t deny it and only said, “Second brother-in-law, I can’t watch you hurt Xianyao’s husband.”

“State affairs are at hand, and as Her Highness enjoys the support of all the people, she should take on her own responsibility for this, how can she put her children’s love in the forefront?” Song Ye Xing bottomed out and lectured, “In the end, Enji is a foreigner, and if he is not of my race, his heart will be different. Once he dies, Princess Zhao Ren will be able to regulate and return to the country, and when Hong Yue comes of age, he will be able to take charge of the Northern Realm for the Emperor, and this grassland will still be in your son’s hands, so what’s wrong with that?”

“Heh!” Zhou Xian Yao laughed in exasperation and said to Zhou Xian Yang, “Fourth brother, I heard that he has a few children in his family as well. The way I see it, you should just let him die for his country now! Anyway, once he dies, his son will be able to inherit the title, and his maiden might even get a grant, so what’s wrong with that? It’s just the death of a person!”

The mocking intent between this tone of voice caused Song Ye Xing to freeze.

These days, he had never thought about what it would be like for the princess to become a widow at a young age and bring up her child alone once his plan succeeded. He always thought that she was a princess, powerful and honorable, and would not do anything for a man.

The place, looking at the princess next to the Hong Yue, blinking big eyes staring at himself, he thought of his wife, children …… if he died, they really will be heartbroken it. Young without a father, and how to grow up?

Zhou Xian Yang only at this time to speak: “Second brother-in-law, my mother in the imperial tomb more than you take care of, I am grateful, otherwise you will not live out of the grassland.”

A light sentence that caused Song Ye Xing’s eyelids to flutter wildly. He raised his head and saw Zhou Xian Yang’s expressionless face, a pair of eyes so indifferent that they had no temperature.

“To tell you the truth, Enji wasn’t in our group three days ago, and instead went back to the Nair Grasslands. In this month, his people are distributing medicine for the plague to the various tribes of the grasslands in the name of the Lord of the Kingdom to help them regain their fighting strength, and those individual chiefs and generals, I’m sure each one of them is grateful to him. Now his popularity in the grassland is not lower than that of his father. Your North Conqueror army wants to raise troops to enter the grassland now, it will only bury the lives of the generals of the state dynasty in vain, wasting precious grain and grass……. If this battle is lost, have you thought about what will happen to you, the North Conqueror General?”

“You!” Song Ye Xing simply doubted his own ears, “You actually helped your own enemy country ……”

“Bei Zhen has never been an enemy country, and Enji is even less of an enemy. On the contrary, it’s you, who talks a good game about what’s going on in the country, but you’re still not actively aiding and abetting the enemy and provoking wars for the sake of accumulating military achievements for yourself!”

“The Northern True Country is at peace today, but there’s no guarantee that it won’t develop dissent tomorrow! What’s wrong with taking precautions before it’s too late?!” Song Ye Xing was poked and prodded in the sore spot, sticking his neck out, more and more he wanted to argue about right and wrong.

“On the signs regardless of heart. Enji now does not have the heart, the signs of waving the division south, and you already have a different heart, there are actions. A soldier’s duty is to protect the family and defend the country, not to stir up disputes and invade foreign countries for one’s own self-interest, for the sake of the false name of an emperor of a thousand years, under the banner of protecting the country and the mountains, with the souls of the people in ruins!”

These words caused Song Ye Xing to almost jump to his feet. If he didn’t know that he didn’t have the power to resist at the moment, he really hated to lift the table in front of him.

And the few words that Rong Xiangmian added were even more completely crushing to him.

“Second brother-in-law, do you know why we learned of the Northern True Kingdom’s Sang Yan rebellion in advance?”

“Why?”

“Because I have experienced it.”

Experienced it? Song Ye Xing’s mind reacted for a while before realizing the meaning of these words, staring dead at Xiang Xiang, trying to see the embarrassment of lying on her face, but unfortunately failing.

The fourth sister’s pair of heroic and charming eyes were as if they had been invaded by the cold air from hell, making people look at them with a cold heart, ”I was reborn, and in my last life, I experienced the Northern True Kingdom in rebellion, and Sang Yan led the iron cavalry army southward, breaking through this city we were in, and encroaching on the border for hundreds of miles of land. And you …… can’t stop it at all.”

Can’t stop it at all ……

Yes, if it wasn’t for the dishonorable means used to rescue the princess this time, the Emperor never thought that he would one day be able to annex the Northern True Kingdom.

However, if you really fight and can’t win, the next ……

No, this talk, sounds as absurd as a storyteller, how did one believe it?

Song Ye Xing shook his head, “Consort Yu, you’re confused, right?” He stares at King Yu again, “Your Highness, how could you believe such a ridiculous thing?”

While Zhou Xian Yang is too lazy to explain to him, Zhou Xian Yao says, “If I didn’t believe in her, En Ji would be dead in Sang Yan’s hands by now! There’s a chance to change your fate, it’s up to you to take it or not!”

Song Ye Xing’s heart burned within him, and he finally couldn’t help but ask Xiang Xiang, “You said I couldn’t stop the Northern True Kingdom’s iron cavalry, then what? What happened to me?”

“In the end, you were captured in Lucheng, and when you were imprisoned in □□□, you hanged yourself with the Ruyi cloud patterned sweat scarf that second sister embroidered for you.”

Song Ye Xing’s body was like falling into an ice cave.

His hand subconsciously touched at his waist. That was the one Rong Xiangyu had made for him to keep him safe before he left …… He wore it close to his body, and there was no way Rong Xiangmian could have known about it.

Rong Xiangmian’s voice, continued to come out without any temperature: ”After you died, the old Duke of State was too sad and went away not long after. The Duke’s wife also suffered a stroke and became bedridden. The title of the Duke of Chang State House was inherited by your younger brother. You also know, he is a spoiled spoiled, not a few years, your house fell. Poor second sister and your three children, in the house can not make the main, no one support, lack of clothing and food. She and has always been strong, refused to tell us the truth …… Later, the old Duke’s wife on her deathbed gave the word to allow her to remarry, the second sister in order to be able to let the children live a better life, just ……”

“Enough!”

Song Ye Xing was like a drowning person who had just been fished ashore, panting heavily, sweat already seeping out from his forehead.

Rong Xiangxian didn’t force him any more, just opened the window of the official post facing the street, the sound of the marketplace outside hawking, there was a cacophony of voices, nothing pleasant to the ear, but it made Song Yexing feel a trace of inner peace.

“Second sister-in-law, the duty of the North Conquering General and the Northland Army is to protect the country’s borders and defend the family and the people. Fighting wars is only a means to an end, and these smoldering, unusual days are the end. Why do you want to give up the basics for the sake of the so-called building a career, destroying the peaceful life that lasted for a hundred years, and destroying the happy life of your sister and her children. You guess, sister at that time, will not be very hate you! Hate you for leaving them orphans and widows behind ……”

Song Ye Xing held his forehead with both hands, remained silent for a long time, and said, “If I don’t fulfill the imperial order, what awaits me? Have you guys ever thought about it for me?”

Zhou Xianyao grunted, “Are all military men as brain-dead as you? You only know that you have to follow the emperor’s orders and earn merit, but you have not thought about the fact that the emperor’s orders can become! The Emperor isn’t the only one either ……”

With a boom, a wall in Song Ye Xing’s heart seemed to collapse and disintegrate.

He looked at Yü Wang’s unperturbed appearance and was shocked to realize that he was too stupid! This time when he returned to the capital, King Yu was probably going to get that dragon chair.

Over the years, the Northern Conquest Army has not been taken seriously, and under his father’s teachings, he has always remained cautious and neutral, never getting involved in party disputes. This was the case before King Yu returned to the capital, and it was even more so after King Yu returned to the capital.

He deliberately avoided suspicion and never did a single errand or said a word for King Yu in official matters. Even the care given to Yu by the Imperial Tomb was all authorized by the Emperor. He has never shown favoritism to King Yu, and he has never arranged for mother and son to meet.

Relying on this heart of loyalty to the emperor, he gained the emperor’s approval, and was also preoccupied with how to help the emperor build a career in the north, but did not think about it: to build a career can be done anywhere.

What merit, than the merit of the slave dragon, greater?

He didn’t dare to ask in detail, but just immediately got up and knelt at Yu Wang’s feet, “I would like to serve His Highness, and from now on, I will only listen to His Highness’s dispositions, and I only ask that Your Highness, for the sake of in-laws, take care of and bring up more.”
