Chapter 458: Convincing the Followers

readx;? That night, Ruan Tianhao discussed the strategy here, and after returning to the room, while eating, he told Manqi the news of the next day's expedition: "...... Manqi, after I leave, I have to grieve you to be alone in the house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoDon't worry, when I take care of the affairs of the capital, I will come back to greet you in person!"

Manqi lowered her head and silently finished eating the food in the bowl, only then did she raise her head and ask in a choked voice, "Tianhao, I ...... I don't want to leave your side. ”

"Manqi is obedient, I'm going to fight, not to go sightseeing. The barracks are full of men, and it is inconvenient for you to be by my side, not to mention that there are no eyes on the sword, I am afraid that I will not protect you well. Ruan Tianhao persuaded softly.

Ever since he had identified Manqi in the morning, he had never treated her as an outsider. Now in Ruan Tianhao's heart, apart from himself, there is only Manqi alone. Originally, he was also worried about Manqi, but after various tests, Manqi's performance did not make him suspicious, on the contrary, he was always moved by the line.

Manqi shook her head and said bitterly: "Tianhao, do you know that since the last time you and your father went on the expedition, I have been alone in the empty boudoir. Those days were like nightmares for me, thinking about them day and night, and having trouble sleeping. Later, I was kidnapped by my eldest brother's people, and I even thought that if I died like this, the most regrettable thing would be that I couldn't see you for the last time. So, from then on, I swore in my heart that no matter what happens, I will never be separated from you again!"

Ruan Tianhao's face was embarrassed: "Manqi, you are really a stupid girl!"

"Tianhao, please!" Manqi held his hand, shook it gently, and said coquettishly, "I won't cause trouble for you, if there is really a war, I will wait for you in the Chinese military tent." All the way north, I can take care of your food and daily life, and it's always better than those careless entourage, isn't it?"

Ruan Tianhao looked at her quietly, not committal for a while.

Seeing that he didn't make a sound, Manqi whispered, "Tianhao, I really can't bear to leave you. Without you by my side, I ...... How am I going to spend my days? Tianhao, please, let me stay with you, I will obey your orders, okay?"

A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Ruan Tianhao's lips: "Is there such a thing that you can't do without me? There is no basis for words, but you have to take some practical actions to make me change my mind!"

One sentence made Manqi's Lian instantly red, she hesitated for a moment, leaned over, and quickly imprinted a kiss on his lips: "Is this okay?"

"My Manqi, just because of this, do you also want to bribe your husband?" Ruan Tianhao was tickled by her little daughter-in-law's appearance. But even so, he sat there calmly, waiting to see the fish take the bait.

As he expected, even if Manqi was extremely shy, she came to him obediently, sat on his lap, and exhaled like a lan: "Tianhao, tonight, I am your ......"

After some clouds and rain, Manqi still didn't forget his purpose: "Tianhao, what people should do has also been done, are you allowed or not!"

Manqi was saying coquettish words, and at the same time, she secretly disgusted herself in the bottom of her heart. Not to mention others, she was extremely tired of listening to such a voice. But after getting along for a period of time, she could see that such a self was exactly what Ruan Tianhao wanted. What he wanted was a woman who was graceful and luxurious on the outside, but open in the boudoir.

If this had been done before, she would never have done it. But now she has already seen through everything, no matter what he wants, as long as she has it, she can give it! As long as she can finally take revenge on him, she is willing to do anything!

Ruan Tianhao enjoyed her gentleness, and finally relented: "You will talk about this, if I still don't agree, isn't it too indifferent?"

"So, you agreed?" Manqi was a little ecstatic.

Ruan Tianhao smiled: "Yes, I agreed." In this case, I will immediately order my servants to prepare men's clothes that fit for you, and it will be more convenient for you to dress up as men in the barracks. When the time comes, I will declare to the public that you are my scholar, and I will let Lei Yang protect you. ”

"No, no. When Manqi heard this, she waved her hand again and again, "Tianhao, I said it, I won't trouble you!"

Ruan Tianhao raised his hand, pinched her cheek, and unconsciously carried a hint of pampering in his tone: "What nonsense are you talking about! You are my wife, and you are my future queen, how can you say that you are causing trouble!"

When Manqi heard this, he no longer argued, and the little bird nested in his arms like a human.

Throughout the day, Manqi was thinking in the bottom of her heart, no matter what, it was safer to follow Ruan Tianhao's side. Originally, Manqi didn't expect things to go so smoothly, she thought that he would definitely refuse, so she persuaded him to think about it, but in the end it was completely useless.

The goal is achieved, and the night is good.

In the early morning of the next day, Manqi got up early in the morning and personally prepared breakfast for Ruan Tianhao, before gently calling him to get up. After Ruan Tianhao had breakfast, he briefly told a few words and left first. Manqi knew that he had something to do, so he sent him out the door considerately before turning back.

The rapid development of the relationship with Manqi made Ruan Tianhao feel very good, and he was even more convinced in his heart that this expedition would definitely be invincible. However, as soon as he walked to the main hall, he saw Lei Yang's face heavy, and he hurriedly walked to his side: "Master, there is something that my subordinates have to tell you." ”

"Coincidentally, Young Master Ben also has something to explain to you. Ruan Tianhao took the lead and said, "I have already agreed to Manqi's request to accompany the army, and when the time comes, her safety will be handed over to you along the way." This time you go north, the responsibility on your shoulders is very heavy, and Manqi must not make any mistakes!"

Lei Yang was slightly stunned and nodded quickly: "Yes, my subordinates understand." ”

Ruan Tianhao nodded his head, and then remembered that Lei Yang had something to do with him, and asked, "You are in a hurry, but what's the matter?"

Lei Yang looked at him with a solemn face, and then whispered in his ear.

"What? You mean that the concubine in the palace ordered the Wu family to be poisoned?" asked Ruan Tianhao in disbelief. Deep down, Lan'er has always been involved in his every move. Before, he thought that Lan'er would be his queen candidate no matter what, even this morning, he had already decided that Manqi was the person he cared about the most. But he also has to admit that Lan'er has a pivotal position in his heart. Rao can't become a queen, and she must be an indisputable concubine!

But why did he die all of a sudden? This news was really difficult for Ruan Tianhao to accept.

Lei Yang saw the turmoil in his heart and asked, "Master, what are you going to do?"

"No matter who it is, Young Master Ben will definitely make her pay!" Ruan Tianhao's voice seemed to come out of hell, eerie and cold, making people shudder.

Lei Yang nodded and asked, "Master, do we need to prepare anything for Miss Wu?" For Ruan Tianhao's henchmen, no one didn't know Wu Qilan's status in his heart. Therefore, as soon as he got such news, Lei Yang was so shocked that he was almost speechless, and even hesitated how to speak.

Ruan Tianhao just wanted to command, but that bright little face appeared in his mind, he shook his head, and sighed long: "That's it, people can't be resurrected after death, and it's pointless to do this." ”

Although Lei Yang was surprised when he heard this, his face was as usual. Every decision made by the master must have his own considerations, and all he has to do is to complete the task according to the regulations.

Ruan Tianhao saw Lei Yang turn around and wanted to leave, stopped him, looked at Xu for a moment, endured the embarrassment in his heart, and said, "Don't mention this matter again, lest Manqi will inevitably be overwhelmed when she hears it." ”

"Yes, master. Lei Yang responded.

Immediately, looking at Ruan Tianhao's departing back, Lei Yang was stunned for a long time. What's going on in the past two or three days, the master seems to be very considerate to the county lord. It's just that he has never been willing to bother with things that he can't guess. As a top priority, he should still be by the county lord's side.

Ruan Tianhao strode away, although he didn't show anything on his face, he was still very distressed in his heart. I never thought that Lan'er would leave him so soon, and the sweet past between the two seemed to happen yesterday. All the warmth is still vivid, but the beauty is no longer there......

Ruan Tianhao clenched his fist with his right hand, slightly forced, and slammed it twice on his chest, and the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart were slightly relieved. Fortunately, there is Manqi by his side, as the so-called "lost east, harvested mulberry", otherwise how to alleviate it?

In any case, the contradictions between him and the court are becoming more and more irreconcilable. They owe him so much, and they should pay it back one by one!

Compared with Ruan Tianhao, who is under control of everything and is complacent, Chu Zhexun is obviously much calmer and more low-key.

Since the emperor's death, he and Shen Jia have been plotting together how to break up the alliance between the anti-kings and how to frustrate Ruan Tianhao's wishful thinking. Basically, Chu Zhexun already has a detailed plan on his side.

Almost at the same time, Chu Zhexun's side also began to prepare for going north to the capital. They are now obviously few in number with Ruan Tianhao, so they can only outwit and not attack. The burden on Chu Zhexun's shoulders was unprecedentedly heavy, and he knew that in the capital, the concubine was waiting for his good news. Because the emperor personally drove almost all the elite troops out this time, he was facing a war that could only be won and not lost!

In the dead of night, after everyone fell asleep, Chu Zhexun put on a cloak alone, stood in the cold night, looked at the quiet night sky, and thought thoughtfully. In such a quiet night, he always couldn't suppress the longing for Nuoyu in his heart. Especially after the emperor's death, his heart is fragile, and this miss is even worse......

"General, aren't you sleeping yet?" Shen Jia's concerned voice came from behind him.

Chu Zhexun shook his head: "There are too many things that have happened recently, too many to count." Then he asked, "What about you, why don't you sleep?"

"The last general, like you, is always a little apprehensive when the war is imminent. Shen Jia said.

"You're worried that we're going to fail, aren't you?" asked Chu Zhexun.

Shen Jia thought for a while and said frankly: "There are no victorious generals on the battlefield, and no one will not worry about life and death." ”
