Chapter 80: A Glimmer of Opportunity

“…… Nope." Tan Weiying replied nervously.

"I don't blame you," Tan Weixin said with a smile: "Say, tell my sister, there's nothing bad to say." Ye Tao is much better than most of the boys around you, and it's not surprising that he likes him. ”

was questioned by my sister in various ways, probed, and the calmness and wisdom that Tan Weiying showed just now were gone. She blushed and said the first time she first thought Ye Tao was a good person: it was a long time ago, Ye Tao handed her the set of toys specially made for her in her studio.

Then at the first National Open, when Ye Tao was in the lecture hall explaining the match between her team and Chi Yun's forbidden army. Ye Tao's description of her is really heartwarming. Tan Weiying, who can do whatever she wants, doesn't have the urge to do something great, and she doesn't envy her sister's outstanding talent that is rare for a hundred years and thousands of years, but she knows that she can't become another Tan Weixin. Since that time, the image of her sister and the image of the grassland princess described by Ye Tao as determined, intelligent and willing to sacrifice for her own nation have been alternating in her heart, and she is trying her best to learn all kinds of knowledge while considering her own path. With a great sister, it is really unacceptable to just marry a person after a few years and become a vase with status.

When she found Ye Tao's care and respect for her more and more in countless contacts, and her understanding of her various mentalities and emotions, she found that she liked people like Ye Tao a little, and even began to fantasize about someone like Ye Tao becoming her husband in the future, she understood that her mood had changed. She hated this change in herself, and feared this change in herself. I feel sorry for my sister. But she can't simply say forget and forget, and give up when she says to give up. This time Xiling's invasion and the envoy's request for peace, isn't it a great opportunity for her to solve all her troubles at once?

"Silly boy." Stroking Tan Weixin's long hair, which was much healthier than hers, Tan Weixin said. And when the two sisters' one-night conversation ended, Tan Weixin's decision was confirmed. She secretly wrote a series of books such as "Economics", "Advanced Mathematics", "Theory of War", "Statistics", "Finance" and so on in the past few years to Tan Weiying, and took a husband with her.

After that, she talked to her mother. talked to his father and persuaded his two younger brothers, who were furious, to make arrangements for the inner estate she controlled one by one. Several young and strong, outstanding performance, and gentle stewards were promoted to the position of the chief treasurer, and some were similar to the professional managers of later generations, looking for suitable people from the cooperative large merchants and big families to serve as the chief treasurer for a certain number of years, and dividends were distributed according to the performance...... Only Deloitte & Touche Tohmatsu. Since there is really no one with even a little bit of modern financial concepts to take over, and this business is inconvenient for Ye Tao to take over, Tan Weixin is temporarily overloading Li Mian with training these days.

She was satisfied that she finally had time to meet Ye Tao and chat before leaving. The text message of "if life is only as it was first seen" did not become the last communication between them.

Ye Tao couldn't calm down. This way from Yicheng to Danyang. He was supported almost by willpower. Facing Tan Weixin, who was talking eloquently and calmly, he didn't have the spirit or strength to think about it and refute it. Coming out of the princess's mansion, he stepped into the carriage that Lu Dan had prepared for him in the princess's mansion. Smelling the faint, vague fragrance of the carriage usually used by Tan Weixin, the last trace of strength in his body also went with him. He just fell asleep in the car.

When Ye Tao woke up, it was close to noon the next day. The news of his speedy return to Danyang had already spread throughout the city in less than a day.

Xiling's envoy, who had never had the opportunity to hear Princess Zhaohua talk about the matter between Weixin and Ye Tao, also sent someone to knock on the door of Zhengyuan and handed a post to invite Ye Tao to a dinner, but it was regarded as an intolerable provocation, and the soldier who sent the post was beaten by Lu Dan and thrown into the artificial river flowing at the gate of Zhengyuan. At this time, the envoy of Xiling should have already handed over the posts of protest and appeal to the lord of the country.

And Ye Tao's friends. quietly gathered in Zhengyuan and waited quietly in the study. They also have various purposes, some want to appease Ye Tao, some want to enlighten Ye Tao, and some have more extreme ideas.

When meeting with everyone, Ye Tao's sluggish mental state surprised everyone a little. What can be imagined is this state of mind, what cannot be imagined is how strong this state of mind is.

"Ye Gongzi...... That's already the way it is. Look at ......," Chi Lei said. He scratched his head. For the love between men and women, his experience of being young is not profound at all. I really can't think of anything suitable.

"Well, is there anything I can do?" glanced at these people in the study, Chi Lei, Chi Yun, Dai Yun, Du Fengchi, Suo Zheng, Suo Yong, Zhao Dazhu, Zeng Zining and Li Mian, who was silent in the corner.

After being silent for a long time, Chi Yun said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess's move is really beyond everyone's expectations. This morning, Gonggong Li read a document in front of all the courtiers in the main hall. The sacrifice made by His Highness is really great. There should be a few people among the Manchu officials who have no place to be ashamed. I also feel that there is really no need to agree to this marriage proposal, this battle will be fought to the end, and with my Dongping's strength, it is impossible to lose. With the ingenuity of His Highness, he would not fail to see this. ”

After being silent for a long time, Zeng Zining mustered up the courage to say: "The princess doesn't want Dongping to smoke everywhere." For so many years, we have never allowed the army of any country to go so deep into the hinterland of Dongping, so that we can have the current situation of prosperity, prosperity and health. ”

Li Mian glanced at Ye Tao and said, "The general Zhuo Mang has already left the capital in the morning to transfer troops to relieve the siege. While there is still room for redemption now, Ye Gongzi, are you ......? Li Mian knew better, he had even seen the situation where after Tan Weixin made up her mind and persuaded the lord Tan Xiaopei, Tan Xiaopei sighed helplessly but occasionally broke out, and Tan Xiaopei even swore that he had said it. After cleaning up the Xiling army, he asked Ye Tao to look good-looking and ruthless.

"After many years of wealth, he actually raised a bunch of cowards, if there is a huge difference in the strength between Dongping and Xiling, it is good to say, but this is obviously not the case. It's a shame to be so kind. Chi Yun shook his head. As a bloody young officer, he really didn't understand why the lord of the country, who was always very tough, would agree to Xilingdi's conditions, and why Tan Weixin, who had always been a little arrogant, would agree.

“…… His Royal Highness didn't go to kiss at all. She was just giving His Majesty the Lord two months. She's in a mortal situation, that's all. Ye Tao said impatiently. He had heard all kinds of speculation and arguments. And these people present are all trustworthy to him.

As soon as Ye Tao said a word, the entire study suddenly fell into a dead silence. For example, Suo Zheng, Zhao Dazhu and others were just surprised and inexplicable, like Chi Yun, Li Mian and others, carefully recalling what had happened in the past few days, and recalling the dynamics of core personnel such as Tan Xiaopei and Zhuo Mang these days. But there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

"What's going on?" Chi Yun pounced, grabbed Ye Taodi's arm and asked.

Ye Tao let out a long sigh and told everyone what Tan Weixin said. The whole study fell silent again. Compared with the things that the women of aristocratic families in this era often have to accept weakly, Tan Weixin's decision to die is more decisive and incredible. This talented princess. This cold-hearted but peculiar princess has never changed.

"In other words, two months later, Dongping and Xiling are still in a situation where they are still dying?" All of a sudden. Dai Yun asked abruptly.

"Well, what's wrong?" Chi Yun replied in surprise.

"Compared with the peace between the two countries, as a representative of the Dai family in Yunzhou, I prefer this ending." With a bit of indifference, Dai Yun said.

"What do you mean?" Chi Yun scolded angrily.

"It's not like it's out of the question. Also as a woman, I admire the courage of Her Royal Highness the Princess. However, since the ending cannot be changed, then ......" Dai Yun looked at Ye Tao. said: "In the morning and evening, it is still negotiable. If you want to destroy the marriage between the two countries, it is not so difficult. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, completely unable to understand what Dai Yun was talking about.

There was a sneer on the corner of Dai Yun's lips, and she continued: "It is actually very simple to want the two countries to fight the current battle to the end. Just kill all the Xiling Missions. The marriage of the two countries, whether true or false. It can't be. ”

Chi Yun roared angrily: "Your Highness Yun Ke and his relatives are all for the sake of my Dongping plan no matter what. What do you mean? ”

Dai Yun glanced at Chi Yun sideways and said, "Isn't it just two months?" Dai Yun suddenly knelt down at Ye Tao. The lower-ranking officer said loudly to the courtesy of the higher-ranking officer: "The last general is willing to lead the two armies to check the 10,000 soldiers of the government and earn two months for the assembly of the Dongping army." ”

"Are you crazy?" Chi Lei shouted, "Whether it is killing envoys or transferring troops privately, it is a big crime to cut off the head." ”

Only then did Dai Yun stand up, show a sly smile, and say, "Kill me?" I am the next head of the Dai family in Yunzhou, you let Your Majesty kill me? …… The two armies checked the government, there are so many noble sons in the fierce blood army and the fire qi army, of course they will not all follow me, but as long as someone goes, with me on the head, no matter how small it is, it will be impossible to cut off the head. The law does not blame the public. Moreover, the more people who dare to go, the smaller the punishment will be. It's just that I don't think there are too many people who have the courage to go deep behind enemy lines and toss around in the middle of the two armies. In fact, if you really do this, there is only one person who will be beheaded, and that is Ye Tao. It depends on whether Ye Gongzi is willing to use this life in exchange for the life of Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Ye Tao, and Ye Tao looked at Dai Yun.

Dai Yun shrugged his shoulders in a dashing manner and said, "If Ye Gongzi is thinking about his family and his brothers, there is no need. There is no doubt that these charges would have been linked if they were normal. However, since the princess is still alive, since you have exchanged your own life for the princess's life, whether it is Her Royal Highness the princess or Her Majesty, they will be extrajudicial and affectionate. …… The only thing that Dongping doesn't tolerate is commercial law, haven't you all noticed? ”

Ye Tao was silent, and he thought quietly for a while. Is he willing to trade his life for Wei Xin's life? Of course, he was afraid of death, and he knew that when death was coming, he might regret that he had easily buried his life. However, he also knew that if he didn't make such a decision, he would regret it in the future, and every time he thought of Tan Weixin, this regret would torment him until the end of his life.

In that case, the answer is simple.
