Chapter 272 Yu Guo is coming, Shang Yan's role Plus more, thank you for the fresh bayberry sent by gzbabe
When Sang-yeon heard the news from the maid, she was excited and nervous at the same time.
"Do you know which country's border is coming?"
"I heard it's Yu Guo."
Shang Yan stood up and walked back and forth in the room, "What else is the news?" ”
"The emperor decreed...... The king of Danyang led 100,000 troops to retreat from the enemy. ”
Sang-yeon took a deep breath and sat back on the couch.
"It must have been the prince's idea." She whispered.
The confidant maid said happily: "Shang Ji, go and plead with the empress, and the emperor will take back his fate." ”
Shang Yan pursed her lips, "Empress...... Will she agree? ”
Although the queen is her sister, she is a concubine.
The maid stomped her feet anxiously, "Why did you forget, maybe the prince did this to help you." ”
Shang Yeon's eyes lit up, by the way, why didn't she think of this.
She told the prince about the dragon vein, and the prince must be grateful to her, so he wanted to help her.
"Yes, yes, as long as I go to intercede with the queen, Sikong Yanfei will not have to lead troops to the expedition at that time." Shang Yan said happily.
In this way, not to mention Sikong Yanfei, even those soldiers and people in Danyang City should be grateful to her.
You must know that these 100,000 horses are taken out, and I don't know how many people will come back alive.
At the same time, in the council chamber, Sikong Yanfei summoned the generals and the Magi.
"There is an urgent report at the border gate, Yu Guo has invaded two cities in our border."
Sikong Yan sat on the couch with a calm face.
Han Yue wore a black dark robe, sat on the side of his couch, bowed his head and burned incense and boiled wine.
"What else is the news?" Sikong Yan asked in a deep voice.
"The palace issued an order to order the king to lead 100,000 men and horses to retreat from the enemy."
"Who has been sent by the palace as a general?" Sikong Yan frowned in thought.
These 100,000 horses are the main force of Danyang City, if they are all taken out by him, the city will be empty, if there is any more accidents, he will be far away at the border, even if it is too late for Pegasus to come to the rescue.
"The palace sent two generals, and the commander of the army was also 100,000."
"Who's the commander?" Sikong Yan asked.
The general who answered was silent, and everyone in the council hall felt the oppression of the atmosphere.
"General Mo sent by the palace is the commander."
Sikong Yan laughed dryly.
ordered him to go on the expedition but did not appoint him as the commander, and asked him to take the men and horses of Danyang City.
"Can the king not go?" One of the generals in the crowd hesitated.
"No!" Several Magi spoke at the same time.
"This is a state affair, and if the king refuses, it will be detrimental to his reputation!"
All the sages' faces were ugly.
Sikong Yanfei was silent and didn't say a word.
Hanyue poured the boiled wine into the wine utensils, and without paying attention, a drop of wine splashed out, scalding her fingers.
She hissed.
Although there was not much movement, it was still heard by Sikong Yanfei, and he turned his head to look at her.
Han Yue retracted her fingers and poured the wine again, and respectfully brought it to Sikong Yanfei.
"Month." Sikong Yanfei spoke slowly.
"Yes."
"What do you think about this?"
All the sages fell silent, and even the generals looked over to this side.
Han Yue's current status is a first-class Magi.
She knelt and sat upright, "The concubine thinks that the king should lead the troops forward." ”
As soon as these words came out, all the wise men nodded their heads again and again, and many people even quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Women have always been timid and afraid, and when this happens, they are all worried that Lady Yue will stop their king.
"You also feel like you should go on a lonely expedition?" Sikong Yan stared at her intently.
"Yes."
"Are you sincere?"
Han Yue smiled slightly bitterly: "Although the words are sincere, the concubine's original intention is that she doesn't want you to leave the fiefdom, the killing field is dangerous, the sword has no eyes, and the concubine is worried." ”
Hearing her say this, a smile appeared on Sikong Yan's lips, "Then why do you still agree to let Lone lead the soldiers to the battle?" ”
Han Yue tilted her head and thought for a moment, "When the enemy country invades, you have to protect everyone before you can take care of the small family, the king is from the royal family, if you don't even care about it, it will inevitably be chilling, and someone will ruin the reputation of the king based on this, so you can't refuse no matter what." ”
Sikong Yan bowed his head slightly.
"But 100,000 soldiers and horses...... If they all go out with the king, Danyang City is empty, how can this be good? A wise man said uneasily.
"Recruits can be recruited."
"Time is too tight, is it too late?"
"Even if you recruit new soldiers, you can't get them into battle anytime soon."
The recruits have never seen a killing field, and it is easy to escape.
The crowd was chattering, and the chamber was in chaos.
After Han Yue finished saying what she had just said, she retreated, kneeling quietly beside Sikong Yanfei, hanging her head slightly, as if everything here had nothing to do with her.
Sikong Yan glanced at her and saw that her hands on her lap were folded in one place, and her fingers curled up slightly.
"The moon seems to have something to gain?" He asked suddenly.
Hanyue raised her head and said "um".
Sikong Yan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and even the wise men who were arguing endlessly shut up.
"What is Mrs. Yue's opinion?"
Han Yue showed a shy expression and smiled, "It's just that I have some ideas, I'll tell you when the concubine figure it out." ”
Everyone bowed their heads one after another.
At this moment, a guard outside the door raised his voice and said, "Your noble girl Shangji asks to see you!" ”
Everyone was stunned.
They had all heard about Shang Yan's private meeting with men before, and they all knew that Sikong Yanfei was going to marry her off these days, what would she do at this time?
For a while, everyone in the room looked at Sikong Yanfei.
Sikong Yan's face sank, "Lone has words, without Lone's order, she is not allowed to enter and leave without permission." ”
The guard lowered his head in embarrassment, "Shang Ji threatened with a sharp blade, and we were afraid of hurting our lives, so we ......"
Sikong Yanfei sneered, "Threaten with your life? ”
How difficult it is to survive in troubled times, all the women are looking forward to life, but Sang-yeon threatens him with death.
"Let her in." Sikong Yan said coldly.
The guards outside the door secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Shang Yan came in from outside, wearing a gorgeous deep coat, rubbing incense powder on her face, and entered the council hall with elegant demeanor.
"The concubine has seen the king." Shang Yan bowed respectfully.
Without waiting for Sikong Yanfei to speak, she raised her head, with a confident brilliance in her eyes, and said loudly: "The concubine is willing to share the worries of the king, and the concubine is the queen's sister, and she is willing to speak on behalf of the king, begging the emperor to retract his will and allow you to avoid the pain of going on the expedition." ”
Shang Yan's voice was very loud, and even Han Yue could see the confidence and arrogance in her heart at this moment.
She is the queen's sister, and the only people who can speak in the palace are the queen and the prince.
As long as she pleads for mercy, and the queen is willing to persuade the emperor to take back her order, there is a chance that this matter can be done.
"Shang Ji is willing to help the king, this matter is the best."
"It's possible!"
"If the emperor can be persuaded to retract his order, the king can also be spared the pain of war, but there must be Lao Shangji......"
All the sages looked happy and spoke one after another.
Shang Yan suppressed the joy in her heart and looked up at Sikong Yanfei.
Surprisingly, Sikong Yan sat there with frowns, looking at her eyes...... It's a little cold.
