Although these soldiers are very loyal, it is inevitable that some people will not be able to stand the torture and confess, or they will not be able to withstand the temptation of high-ranking officials, and tell all the details of their side.

In this way, not to mention the failure of this operation, the entire plan will be implicated.

After all, obtaining a batch of weapons is only one of the purposes of their trip, if it is just a failure, there is still a possibility of saving, but once the Cangguo goes through some clues and understands the complete plan and purpose, it will be very bad.

The consequences are severe!

The result of the battle was exactly the opposite of what he had prayed for.

After all, the power of the crossbow is limited, and many of those who are not hit in the vital parts just fall to the ground and wail, and some people are hit in the leg or in unbearable pain, and they also lose the ability to retreat.

In the end, a total of more than two dozen people were captured.

……

On the other side, the Cangguo Palace.

Yang Mu was accompanying Ruan Cairui and was shopping around the harem.

At this time, he already regretted a little that he wanted to recognize such a friend.

Why?

Because along the way, Emperor Ruan's gossip soul began to burn, and he couldn't stop it.

For example, as soon as you enter the harem, you will ask how many concubines there are, what is the name of this palace, what is the name of that palace, how many concubines there are, how many buildings are in the harem, and wander around like a curious baby.

Yang Mu was speechless, have you never seen the palace or what, how do you look like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, not a single palace will be spared.

In the end, Yang Mu could only helplessly tell him that there were more than 30 concubines in his harem.

This time, Ruan Cairui was very happy.

has been looking at him with a sympathetic eye, and the meaning in his eyes is that he cares about whether his body can withstand it.

Yang Mu smiled bitterly in his heart, although there are so many women in his harem, but more than thirty of them are all political marriages, and they have just annexed Zheng Guo and used them to make a show, in fact, these women are raised in the harem, and they don't see each other a few times a year.

Besides, with exercises like Changchun Gong, are you still afraid of many women?

I'm afraid it's not enough!

Of course, this Yang Mu can't say it, once the matter of Changchungong is publicized, he has to become the target of public criticism.

And he doesn't need to explain to an outsider, there are not a few emperors with huge harem concubines among the emperors of various countries, he is average.

Seeing that Yang Mu didn't react much, Ruan Cairui was not very interested, and after turning around, she walked to the side of Yuling Palace.

"You can't go in with this." Yang Mu stopped her and said, "It's been a long time, you should be tired of watching it, otherwise go to my imperial garden for a walk, and then discuss the matter of the alliance, and then rest." ”

"This is the last palace, is there any secret to see?" Ruan Cairui was interested, leading a group of waitresses behind, and the little woman snorted unreasonably, and said: "The matter of the alliance will be discussed later, since I am not allowed to enter, then I have to go in, but I want to see what is in it!" ”

Yang Mu suddenly felt a headache, and he couldn't let anyone stop him, after all, this was the empress of a country, and she had promised her to visit the harem before, if there was no reasonable explanation, I was afraid that it would not be very polite.

The consequence is that when the alliance is met this time, this empress, who seems to have some alliances, will make some stumbling blocks for herself, and there will be unpredictable things in the future diplomatic relations.

However, if she is allowed to go in, the consequences are also not good.

First, the queen has been depressed because she can't get pregnant these days.

Second, the queen's identity is relatively secret, and if the two women meet, they may be leaked something.

Therefore, after having little patience left, Yang Mu was very resistant to Ruan Cairui wanting to enter Yuling Palace to take a look.

"The concubines greet Your Majesty."

With a soft voice, the queen came out, and Ying Ying saluted.

"Queen, why did you come out?"

Yang Mu was a little embarrassed, he was still telling Yang Cairui just now that he wouldn't let her enter Yuling Palace and let her go out quickly, but he didn't expect that the queen would come out at this time, which was really a dilemma.

"Who is this?"

At this time, the queen was also looking at Ruan Cairui, she didn't know why, she thought that this was the woman Yang Muxin accepted into the harem, and she couldn't help but scrutinize it a little more, even if she was in the royal family, it was unruly to take a woman into the harem to be accepted as a concubine, and she still had the right to know the master of the harem.

"This is your queen?"

Ruan Cairui looked very interested, on the surface she looked light and breezy, but in her heart she was stormy.

The queen of Cangguo in front of her is really perfect!

The so-called perfection not only refers to appearance, but also contains a natural temperament, whether it is body or temperament, it is impeccable.

As the emperor of a country, Ruan Cairui can be regarded as having read countless people.

However, she couldn't see through the woman in front of her.

Faintly, I even compare it in my heart, and I have an inferiority complex.

In the past, she knew that in Yang Mu's harem, there was a person like Miaoxi who was stunning in the world.

But I didn't expect that the queen I saw today would not lose at all.

What kind of shit luck did this guy go!

Ruan Cairui has an understanding of Cangguo, such a rising small country, it is normal for there to be some beautiful women in the harem, but at a glance, it can be seen that the temperament is noble and the appearance is moderate, which is really unexpected.

Yang Mu also felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, so he coughed lightly and introduced each other.

After learning Ruan Cairui's identity, the queen nodded politely.

Although she has lived in the deep palace for a long time, she has such a thing as "Dacang Times", and she also knows that Cangguo is such a country as Ruan Guo has close relations, and she also knows that Ruan Guo is the emperor and a daughter.

Immediately afterwards, the queen learned that the two were now visiting the harem as personal friends, so she didn't say much understanding, and at the same time saw some clues, and generously invited Ruan Cairui to sit in the harem.

Ruan Cairui politely declined.

At this time, it was Yang Mu's turn not to understand.

Didn't you want to go to Yuling Palace to have a look, why did you suddenly change your mind?

Of course, he didn't want to ask this directly, he also guessed that Ruan Cairui must have been tired of bumps in this way, so he went out of the harem together, asked people to prepare a table of hot pot, and ate a beautiful meal, and then asked Zeng Shisan to find a clean place in the post house of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and settle her down.

When she returned to Yuling Palace in the evening, the queen had a serious face and advised: "Your Majesty should be careful, this Emperor Ruan is not simple, and the maids around her are all masters." ”
