Chapter Eighty-Eight: Persuasion

She is also justified in what she said.

After slowly calming down, Xuehe couldn't help but secretly think: if it was the sixth brother or the eighth brother, whoever was there, and laughed and made a fuss, this matter would be over; But it's just a fierce one, with his unbending temperament, if he is forced to be in a hurry, he will take out the piano score and throw it to me in front of him! It's really come to this point, isn't it a good intention to do a bad thing, and it will end badly?

Sighing silently in his heart, Xue He looked at the fox and said cautiously: "What I said just now was all angry words, making a joke, not taking it seriously." ”

Hearing this, he was stunned, and raised his eyebrows with a somewhat stiff expression: "...... I know. ”

Seeing this, Xue Yun hurriedly stepped forward to play a round game, also smiled, and whispered to Xue He: "I know that you have good intentions, and I understand your affection in my heart." ”

Qin Bai glanced at Yu Miaojin, but she didn't expect that her seemingly ordinary words would resolve the language conflict between the two people who were about to escalate, well, it's a bit powerful.

"I wonder why the princess is here?"

He came back to his senses and stepped forward to salute.

Qin Bai then said: "What you just told me, I have discussed it with the princess. What does she mean......" Qin Bai glanced at her with some embarrassment, Yu Miaojin understood, and then said:

"I'm willing to go, but I'm going to do it alone."

This is a bit of a surprise.

"Why?"

Vicious exclaimed: "You want to go to the enemy camp alone? Are you really not afraid of death? ”

Yu Miaojin smiled faintly, shook her head and said, "The two countries are not at war yet!" Besides, Mr. Cao is my enlightenment teacher, a righteous gentleman; I'm just a lobbyist, so no matter how bad Li Jinglong is, he won't be embarrassed for me as a woman. ”

Although this is the truth, but what if it fails to go through thousands of troops to persuade the other party's commander to surrender? Don't you really plan to leave yourself a way out?

Yu Miaojin saw his worry, and said, "Actually, I had this intention when I first arrived in Hejian Mansion. I know better than you what Li Jinglong is. My father once commented that this person was 'brave and unscrupulous, and he was useless', and it was indeed the best strategy if he could fight without blood. It's just that it's related to important matters in the army, and I was afraid that the general would think that I would be troublesome, so I didn't mention it. Now that the prince has come to ask me, that's exactly what I mean. ”

These words were neither humble nor arrogant, which surprised the fierce man. It is really impressive that an ordinary woman can have such courage.

"The princess understands the righteousness and admires it very much. It's just that if you don't bring a guard, if something happens......"

This is not only a matter of life and death, in case Li Jinglong detains the princess as a hostage, then the situation will be a bit passive.

Yu Miaojin seemed to have insight into his thoughts, and said calmly: "Don't worry, if there is a case, he dares to disrespect me, I would rather die than be humiliated by him, but just die, so as not to embarrass the prince and the generals." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"Well, not really."

He twisted his eyebrows and said: "Although our army does not have an advantage in numbers, the chances of victory are still very high. I thought that if the princess's trip was successful, she would be able to reduce some casualties, and if not, it would be fine, and she didn't have to risk her life for it. ”

"The general's words are wrong."

Yu Miaojin shook her head and said: "I know that the general has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and he also has his own strategy to break the enemy, but I am not here to add icing on the cake, but to reduce the casualties on both sides." The 500,000 troops in Li Jinglong's hands are all the elite divisions of our dynasty, and it is really not worth it if they are folded here, and there is no need to bury so many lives for the sake of a stupid person. ”

Speaking of this, she smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "My knowledge is limited, and I probably have some women's kindness." However, there have been so many people who have died in front of me, and I really don't want to see corpses strewn in the field again. ”

"No, your idea is very admirable."

Xue He suddenly said at this time: "Wise man Huairen, worried about the world, you can have such a mind and knowledge, and you can be called a hero in the fat powder pile." It's just that wouldn't it be better for my fourth brother to go with me? Not only is it full of the mind of avoiding the knife, but also can protect your life without worry, why not? ”

"I am determined to succeed in this trip."

Yu Miaojin said firmly: "I went alone to show sincerity and determination. Mr. Cao is a cautious person, otherwise when Emperor Taizu cleaned the court, the nine founding princes were all slaughtered, and he would not be the only one safe and sound. If I take the guard with me, I will arouse his suspicion and vigilance, and the matter will be difficult to do, and the odds of victory will be greatly reduced. ”

"Princess, I think you may have misunderstood me."

Things were obviously not the same as he expected, and he explained: "Actually, we just had the attitude of giving it a try. After all, you and Cao Gong haven't seen each other for decades, and the situation in the court is changing and people's hearts are unpredictable, so I don't think there is any need to take such a big risk for something that you are not sure of. Besides, now is not the life-and-death moment that determines the outcome of the game, even if there is no such relationship, we have other ways to break the enemy, and it is not worth the princess's life. ”

However, Yu Miaojin's demeanor showed that she was not persuaded by him at all, but she just didn't want to argue with him. But she did not immediately refute, but lowered her eyes and pinched the corner of the neckline of the cloak with her fingertips: a delicate peony was embroidered with golden thread, the heart of which was vermilion, and a more conspicuous accentuation, and embellished with a dull bead, which did not match the magnificent accessory:

"It's crane top red."

When everyone heard this, they were shocked again.

"When I was fifteen years old, the emperor sent someone to raid the house, and my mother took out two Heding Red from the mezzanine of the makeup box, handed one of them to me, swallowed the other one herself, and bled to death on the spot."

When telling about the bloody past, her tone was still light, calm and unwavering: "She said to me that when she was born as a woman, her name is more important than her life, and how can there be eggs under the nest?" Only the way of broken jade can avoid humiliation. ”

Everyone looked solemn and listened quietly.

She showed a relieved smile at this time:

"But I chose a different, more difficult path. I hid the poison in my bun and escaped the search, and I thought it would never be too late to die when I couldn't take it anymore. Because, if I die like this now, I really don't want to! Even if I have to go through countless pains and tribulations, I don't want to give up the chance for revenge, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will make them pay with blood.

After that, I kept it with me, thinking that when I finally couldn't hold it anymore, I would use it to end it all. ”

Her voice is still calm and soft, but it reveals the tenacity and strength in her bones.

"Do you want to die at any time when you carry it all the time?"

Xue He couldn't help but ask.

Yu Miaojin had a stronger smile on her face:

"Yet fate favored me. It has accompanied me through countless difficulties, and every time the world is difficult and I want to give up, as long as I see it, I will remember the tragic death of my mother. I'm like, is it time to finish? Is that all? Maybe give it another try? So, there are a lot of things, and it's just between these thoughts that they start to become different.

Later, I realized a truth, which is probably 'life to death'. Everything I do is with the intention of dying, so I can do everything well. ”

As she spoke, her gaze returned to the fox again: "The general may not understand what I meanβ€”what I, Yu Miaojin, am determined to do, must succeed." In my life, I have never had the idea of luck or luck, either I did my homework and prepared well, or I simply did not do it, and I would never leave everything to fate and let God decide the outcome. ”

The shock in his eyes was hard to hide.

In the past, he had long heard that this woman was very methodical, thoughtful and far-sighted, and she was as decisive and decisive in handling things as a man, otherwise Ning Wangfu would never be as orderly as it is today. Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I secretly admire it.

A person who has experienced the catastrophe of life and death will understand better than ordinary people the truth that it is easy to die and it is more difficult to survive. However, what is even more rare is that she kept her heart, did not love killing, did not be arrogant, had compassion for the common people, had a sharp edge and no anger, which was awe-inspiring.

"Although I haven't seen my mentor for more than ten years, I know his temperament."

Yu Miaojin said:

"I am here to persuade you to surrender, not to be brave. I wouldn't have made up my mind to do it without being absolutely sure. I always plan for the worst first, but I think things shouldn't come to this point, I believe in Cao Gong's personality.

Even if I can't convince Li Jinglong in the end, I will do my best to minimize the casualties on both sides, so it is worth taking some risks, and there will be no loss to the prince. ”

At the end, she glanced at Qin Bai.

Qin Bai shook his head and said, "I think it's too risky, you better think about it again." ”

Hearing this, her expression showed a hint of joy, but the firmness in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

"I'm against it."

He pondered for a long time, but finally said, "We can't let you risk your life. ”

Xue He suddenly regretted a little, if he didn't do that and had to change to a male skin, he might be able to pretend to be a maid and go with her. However, he immediately changed his mind again, and couldn't help laughing at himself: What can a female body do? has no mana, just with her three-legged cat's escape efforts, I am afraid that once something happens, at most she will run away by herself, and she will no longer be able to protect Yu Miaojin's thoughtfulness.

In this situation, Jun Qi and Jiao Tu don't know when they will come back - as soon as she raised her eyes, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the clouds on the side, and a thought suddenly popped into her heart.

She thought for a moment, and felt that only Suyun was the most suitable person for now. At the beginning, Suyun harmed people's lives for the sake of a cup of snow, and he was extremely angry; Now that she is out of the Ghost Valley, if it weren't for the fierce protection of her, I am afraid that she would have been taken away and accepted as a monster.

Now, if you can escort the princess to the enemy camp, it will also be a good thing with merit.

"Xue Yun, would you like to accompany the princess?"
