Chapter 177: Expedition
When he returned to the room, Sima Changying's face was still not very good-looking. Ye Qingtang saw that something was wrong with her at a glance, and immediately walked to his side worriedly and asked softly, "What's wrong?" Is it that the talks are not going well? ”
"He promised to cooperate with us, but he needs us to promise him a condition, as long as I can agree, I can lead troops tomorrow."
Sima Changying reluctantly pulled out a smile that was even uglier than crying, and when he thought of the emperor's request, he pretended that he couldn't laugh.
[Hey, this Emperor of Xia State has now grasped Sima Changying's weakness, even if he is unwilling, he has to be pinched obediently. 】
"Is it to detain me and Chengjin in Xia Kingdom?" As soon as Ye Qingtang heard this, he immediately guessed the emperor's intentions, frowned slightly and asked softly.
Seeing Sima Changying's face becoming more and more ugly because of his words, Ye Qingtang immediately confirmed his guess and smiled bitterly.
"As expected, the emperor of the Xia Kingdom has no reason to completely believe us, and it is reasonable to make this request."
The sad mood only lasted for a moment, and Ye Qingtang immediately regained his indifferent look, and deliberately pretended not to care.
"Chang Win, you can answer the Emperor of Xia today. Chengjin and I can stay, and you can rest assured to do everything you want to do. ”
"No, I don't agree!" Sima Changying frowned and vetoed directly: "It's impossible for me to leave the two of you behind, I can't rest assured." ”
"You know very well that we won't miss anything if we stay. This Emperor of the Xia Kingdom still needs to use us as bargaining chips, and he will never dare to do anything to hurt us. In that case, you can do whatever you want! ”
Ye Qingtang smiled and patted Sima Changying's hand, knowing that he would not agree. But now they had to do that, and he couldn't hesitate for long.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingtang continued: "There is not much time left for us, don't be kind to women, don't worry about us, I will take care of myself and Chengjin." You can always believe in me, right? ”
"But ......" That being said, Sima Changying still couldn't be completely relieved. After all, it is related to the safety of his wife and children, even if he knows Ye Qingtang's ability, he can't let them stay with peace of mind.
"Nothing!" Seeing that he was still hesitating, Ye Qingtang immediately frowned dissatisfiedly, and his tone was also angry: "You have to be clear about your identity, understand your mission, and don't waste time on this kind of thing." ”
"You should prepare today, and it is best to get along with the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom as soon as possible. It's best to send troops within three days, we don't have time to delay. ”
Ye Qingtang's words were undoubted, and after finishing speaking, he left Shen Qingdai's palace and went to the imperial study of the Emperor of Xia alone.
Since Sima Changying is unwilling to do some things, Ye Qingtang, who is a daughter-in-law, always has to make decisions for his father-in-law and push him.
"Why is Mrs. Sima here?" The emperor was not surprised by Ye Qingtang's arrival, but he was deliberately pretending to be stupid and never took the initiative to mention that incident.
The emperor acted so cunningly, even if Ye Qingtang was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dwell too much on this matter, but frowned dissatisfiedly and said his intentions straight to the point: "Your Majesty's request, we can agree." ”
"What?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Qingtang in puzzlement. He didn't believe that the person in front of him was qualified to decide everything, and he didn't want to talk too much about her. Even if the person in front of him is a bargaining chip, the details still have to be safer with Sima Changying.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to be like this, the arrival of the women today proves that the women can call the shots in this matter. The women and sons can stay, and ask Your Majesty to hand over the talisman to Chang Ying as soon as possible. ”
The emperor pretended to be stupid like this, Ye Qingtang was not angry, but continued patiently: "There is not much time left for us. ”
"Your Majesty, many things in my family are decided by my mother. She said whatever she wanted, and the grass people agreed to this matter, and asked His Majesty to give the grass militia talisman. ”
Ye Qingtang wanted to say something, but Sima Changying suddenly walked in, even if he was unhappy, he still made a compromise.
What can I do? Ye Qingtang had already said so, and Sima Changying knew very well that they had long since lost the qualifications to be entangled, so they could only agree.
"With your words, I can rest assured. The talisman will be handed over to General Sima today, and General Sima can bring back good news as soon as possible. ”
Although there were some hiccups in it, at least the results were good. The emperor looked at the situation in front of him with satisfaction, and after a while, he handed over the talisman to Sima Changying.
When they got the things and left the imperial study, Sima Changying's face was still ugly to death, which made Ye Qingtang dare not look at him.
Originally, she took the initiative to go to the emperor, but she didn't ask Sima Changying what he meant. Knowing that he would be angry because of this, he would act on impulse.
Now that the matter has come to an end, Ye Qingtang really doesn't know how to talk to Sima Changying so that he doesn't have to be so angry.
"I'll be on the expedition in five days at most, and I won't be able to accompany you until then. During this time, you must protect yourself, know? ”
Sima Changying was silent for a long time, and when he saw that he was about to return to Shen Qingdai's palace, he suddenly stopped and looked at Ye Qingtang helplessly.
After getting the talisman, Sima Changying had no reason to stay in the palace and do nothing. So after sending Ye Qingtang back to the room, he had to go to the martial arts arena to train his soldiers and horses.
As they said, they don't have time anymore, so they naturally want to seize every moment and every second so that they can achieve their long-cherished wish as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of myself and Chengjin." Ye Qingtang reluctantly pulled out a smile at her, and after finishing speaking, he went back to the room.
Since then, Sima Changying has been the same as living in the martial arts arena. Originally, I went home to sleep, but I lived directly in the martial arts arena later, and I didn't go back to the room.
Knowing what Sima Changying was busy with, Ye Qingtang would not pester him to make him annoying. So every time she just delivered a meal, she returned to the palace to chat with Shen Qingdai about family life.
Three days later, Sima Changying left Xia with his soldiers. Looking at the back of the man gradually moving away, Ye Qingtang's expression was very complicated.
The two of them stayed in a foreign country, even if they were protected by Shen Qingdai, Ye Qingtang had no way to feel at ease.
At first, he just didn't want Sima Changying to worry, so he forced a smile and didn't let him notice any heresy. Now that the man is traveling with the troops, Ye Qingtang immediately wilted like a frosted eggplant.
