Helian Yanran's ear power is excellent.

Listening to the occasional night cry not far away, she knew that tonight's action would not be able to continue. Even if everyone agrees to blow up the artillery, she will stand up and stop it.

"Your Highness. Helian Yanran called softly.

Bai Sheng looked at her and smiled helplessly: "Yanran, I know that for the sake of the overall situation, I should ignore the lives of those people and take this opportunity to destroy the artillery."

But although they are the people of Qingguo, they are also innocent people. The two countries are at war, and the most pitiful thing is their people. It was not a war that they provoked, so why should they be allowed to bear the consequences of the war?

In fact, the people's wish is very simple, they don't care what the emperor on the dragon chair is called, and they don't care how many years the Guozuo Chuangcheng has lasted, they just want to have food and clothing, children and grandchildren can grow up safely, and the family can be reunited.

How innocent are these people? I can't do that. No, you can't. ”

"Your Highness is benevolent, and it will become a generation of democracy in the future. Helian Yanran said, "The marching speed of the Qing army can't be fast, and there is still a chance to get out of the city." ”

Bai Sheng glanced at the few artillery pieces that were placed in front of him again, he was a little sorry but did not regret it, turned his head and sighed, and said, "Go back, let's think of another way." ”

A few people came quietly, and quietly returned the same way.

Morning Frost and Cold Rain didn't say anything, anyway, Yuan Niang did what he told them to do, Yuan Niang's actions were unquestionable, and Yuan Niang's orders, no matter what kind of orders, they just had to carry them out.

Li Xiucai, who was guarding the carriage, saw that they had come back so soon, and that there was no loud noise and fire in the city as he expected, and he was suddenly a little puzzled: "What happened? Why didn't you take action?"

Zhao Junbao simply told him the reason, Li Xiucai listened to it, and praised Bai Sheng: "Your Royal Highness is kind-hearted, which is really the blessing of Dayue and the blessing of the world." ”

"Okay, you don't need to shoot the sycophants, let's think about what to do next. Mu Xun said in an unkind tone. Although he is not in favor of killing innocents, he is inevitably annoyed that he missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Bai Sheng had already adjusted his mood, smiled slightly, and said, "The Qing army will leave the city tomorrow, and the artillery is heavy, and they can't go fast for this alone." After the Qing army has set up camp, let's think about the situation and make a decision. ”

Bai Sheng said, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's getting late now, everyone should rest early, recuperate, and only tomorrow will have the spirit to continue to think of a way." ”

When they heard this, they retreated, and found a place for the carriage to rest, and arranged the order of the night watch, both to ensure that everyone had adequate rest, and to ensure the safety of the night.

Because I can't make a fire, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, there are two people on each shift, one hour at a time. The first shift was guarded by Bai Sheng and Helian Yanran at Bai Sheng's strong request, the second shift was Mu Xun and Yanbo on duty, and the third shift was Zhao Junbao and Li Xiucai.

After these three shifts, the sky should be bright.

drove everyone else to sleep, Bai Sheng sat next to Helian Yanran, chatting with her with no one. It's all about inconsequential things, just like ordinary people chattering.

After chatting for a while, Bai Sheng suddenly smiled: "Yanran, do the two of us want to be the old husband and wife of the Zhang family and the Li family who have nothing to do after eating now?"

Helian Yanran would not prove whether the answer was yes or no, but said: "Your Highness is a noble man, so naturally he will not be idle like ordinary people. His Royal Highness has a lot of opportunities, and he has no time to take care of any trivial matters. ”

Bai Sheng looked at her, raised his eyebrows, and had a "I knew you would say that" expression.

"Yanran, I'm tonight, but the kindness of a woman?" Bai Sheng sat on his knees, even in the dark, even if he covered his originally handsome face, it was still indescribably suave.

"Your Highness's heart is for the people, and it is not a woman's kindness. Helian Yanran's tone was very serious, "There were hundreds of lives at that time. If His Royal Highness had given the order without hesitation at that time, the courtiers would have felt that His Highness had little chance of sitting in that high position. ”

"Oh, what do you say?" Bai Sheng suddenly became interested and asked.

"Putting aside His Highness's consideration for the innocent people, if His Highness orders to blow up the artillery tonight regardless of their lives or deaths, this matter will become a reason for the rest of the princes to attack His Highness in the future.

Cruelty and inhumanity, reckless disregard for human life, indiscriminate killing of innocent people, and disregard for human life...... None of this would be done by a Ming Jun.

Once this matter spreads, the people in the market may not support such a highness as the king. After all, if such a person becomes an emperor, the first thing these people worry about is their own survival.

Therefore, even if His Highness is not in a merciful heart for the innocent people of Qingguo, he must not do such a thing, even if it is for the sake of the overall situation. ”

"But I didn't do what my father told me, wouldn't they have caught this matter?" Bai Sheng felt that his brothers wanted to embarrass themselves, and they could find various reasons at any time.

"Your Highness don't have to worry too much. What you have received is a secret decree from Your Majesty, so how can the people on the side know about it? Only after this matter is successful, will Your Majesty praise your merits in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and everyone will know about it.

Even if some prince knew about it in advance through unknown means, they had to pretend not to know until His Majesty announced it to the public. Helian Yanran persuaded.

"So what if it doesn't work out in the end, and how will my father react?

When the time comes, the two countries will go to war, and it will be the people who will suffer. If it were because of my temporary soft-heartedness that caused the flames of war to erupt and the people of the two countries fell into dire straits, wouldn't that be counterproductive?

"No, Your Highness. Helian Yanran said, "Your Highness will definitely succeed immediately." Your Highness will definitely complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty. The courtiers will share the worries of His Highness on the side.

No matter what happens, no matter who is in the way of anyone in front of them, the courtiers will do their best to clear all obstacles for His Highness. The courtiers will definitely help His Highness achieve what he wants. ”

Helian Yan calmly promised.

Bai Sheng only felt his heart throbbing.

This is not the first time Helian Yanran has promised him anything. The promises she made were fulfilled every time, and all of them exceeded Bai Sheng's expectations.

The little woman in front of me who has not yet reached the end of the rope is always so magical. There seems to be incredible power in her body, and there is nothing in this world that she can't do.

There was nothing more to soothe Bai Sheng's irritability and worries than her by her side. In this life, he didn't want her to leave him.
