The envoy went into the palace and never came out again. He didn't believe him all day long and was so angry that he jumped up and down. How dare you be so rampant with hostages in hand? He was still beheading his people when they were all on the battlefield
Yu Jing understood Wu Ran, all of this was expected. He wanted his troops to get as close as possible to the Jingbei Imperial Capital, and the resistance was still not strong. He stopped and stationed his troops outside the city, waiting for Wuran to take the initiative.
Wu Sheyue didn't know much about the art of war. At that time, she only thought that they were able to conquer the emperor with overwhelming force because the other party was too stupid. But Wu Nian knew that this was all because the emperor's rights to Yu Jing had long exceeded his expectations, and might have exceeded those of the real crown prince.
Their move seemed to create a lot of momentum, but he made some mental calculations and found that basically the local troops in the cold area had not moved...
The stalemate lasted for two days, but the other side couldn't hold back anymore. Also, in this case, the hostages cannot move, and they have to be surrounded and watched by the army, which is too stressful.
This would turn out to be a messenger from the palace who came here with a letter. Wu Sheyue also read the letter, which probably means: Yu Jing is rebelling, and he is protecting the safety of the palace. If they want to enter the palace to see the emperor Yes, but no troops are allowed.
Anyway, Yu Jing had no intention of actually taking action, this was the result he wanted. So, Yu Jing, Wu Sheyue, Wu Nian, and Wu Meng followed the envoy to the city gate. Behind them were the troops stationed in the distance.
The envoy first confirmed that these four people were not carrying weapons, and then went to the city gate to report.
After a while, all the city gates slowly opened. But what greeted them at this time were rows of archers and arrows shining with cold light.
With such a close distance and density, a bird could be stabbed to death. Yu Jing's face turned cold, it was really a clumsy trap.
A military general appeared on the city wall and judged them loudly: "You treacherous ministers and traitors! You actually ignored the imperial authority and colluded with foreign parties—"
Wu Sheyue stood behind Yu Jing. As soon as she saw the person coming out, she held the small short gun steadily with her arm and took aim for a while. With the sound of the silencer, a bleeding hole burst out on the general's forehead, and his high-pitched words were cut off in the air.
Before anyone could react, the general's heavy body suddenly hit the ground between the two parties with a loud bang.
There was an uproar in the city gate, and no one could clearly see the trajectory of the bullet. Somehow, the person died like this. Thinking of the ghosts and ghosts in the city a few days ago, people were even more panicked.
Before there was any further reaction, the three people here started moving. They rushed over quickly, and at the same time, black unknown objects flew out of their hands. Then the circle at the foot of the city wall exploded, with a deafening roar accompanied by splashes of gravel, mud and snow filling the sky. The three people rushed into the city and disappeared without a trace. In the chaos, no one shot the arrow, and Wu Sheyue stood unscathed.
The city gate was damaged, and the cavalry arrived from a distance, picked up Wu Sheyue and followed her into the city.
Chasing all the way to the palace gate, Wu Sheyue only saw Yu Jing standing in front of the palace gate, with no one around. She jumped off her horse and rushed over and asked, "Where are they?"
Yu Jing put one arm around her and said, "He sneaked into the palace."
"Huh?" Wu Sheyue knew immediately, "Did you hand over the mask?!"
"Well, and the two generals with the most military power are also our people, they will be very convenient."
"Okay..." she breathed out, "it seems you have a plan."
Yu Jing didn't intend to enter, but just changed his position at another pass. It was only a small force that followed into the city, but it was enough to surround the palace.
After waiting for less than a day, the palace door that had been guarded was pushed open. Wu Nian rode out excitedly, seemingly bringing good news.
But facing the open door, Yu Jing didn't even intend to go in. He pulled Wu Sheyue and turned around to leave.
Wu Nian was a little surprised and caught up to him, but Yu Jing said to him, "It seems that Wu Yu is fine, so I won't go see him."
Wu Nian was stunned for a moment and didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and led the others into the city gate. The two of them didn't exchange anything else, and seemed to have a special tacit understanding.
After everyone around him left, Wu Sheyue asked him, "Who is Wuyu?" After asking, he immediately answered, "Oh, I know!"
He must be the only biological child of the cold land king. This is enough for Yu Jing, but working for Emperor Long Fu would be taboo. Are you tired of coming back to help your cousins conquer the world, but also fearing that they will be jealous of you
She thought so, so she asked, "Don't you feel tired?"
Yu Jing lowered his eyes, "The main thing is that uncle is still here."
"Oh... that's right."
Although I was thinking about it, I couldn't go into the palace to find out what happened. It would be fine if my uncle is still in good health, but I don't know if he is still alive or not, and how his condition is. Wu Ran forced the palace but he was able to lead his troops to suppress him so quickly. Wu Yu would definitely be paranoid.
That person has been very thoughtful since he was a child. Even if his uncle protects their relationship, it is difficult to get rid of his guard. This is probably the case for many imperial families.
There was a huge formation when we came, but when we returned there were only four or five people traveling lightly. Some of those people stayed in the cold area to connect with Yujing's forces, and the rest were escorted back.
Although there was snow everywhere we looked along the way, it was not so cold without the wind. Wu Sheyue held the horse's belly firmly and squinted at the surrounding scenery. Yu Jing caught a glimpse of her seemingly relaxed but tight body, and laughed at her: "I thought you knew everything."
Wu Sheyue said lazily: "Why should I know everything I want? How can I appear to be useful to you if I am so omnipotent?"
"Okay, you're right."
"It's a pity that I didn't go into the palace to have a look... Your cousin's territory is so unique. The palace should be more beautiful. I still want to go in if I have the chance." When Wu Sheyue said it, she didn't expect that it would be completely realized soon. Got this idea.
Yu Jing thought for a moment and said, "The architecture is nice, but the people are not necessarily the same."
—
Approaching the border, the temperature has risen a lot. Everyone is resting in an uninhabited area, and the sound of rapid horse hooves gradually gets closer and closer. Everyone stood up alertly, and several of the guards put their hands on their swords.
The figure gradually became clearer in the snow and fog, and Wu Sheyue's head immediately buzzed after seeing the person clearly.
"Why are you here?" Yu Jing asked her.
Wu Meng dismounted and strolled over. She ignored Wu Sheyue's expression that looked like she had seen shit. She only looked at Yu Jing with her charming eyes, and said in a lonely and low voice: "I... can't stay in the cold place any longer. I have been this princess for a long time, please let me go to Longfu to be with you."
Wu Sheyue clenched her hands in her sleeves, but fortunately Yu Jing refused her obediently, "What are you thinking about? Wuyu won't do anything to you, and besides, Wu Nian is here."
A sad smile appeared on Wu Meng's lips, "Brother Prince will not allow him to stay in Jingbei all the time. He can't protect me for long. Even if Brother Prince doesn't take action, as long as he ignores me, it will be enough to deal with me."
Wuyu is the only heir of the old emperor, but he is not as good at identifying people as his father. Wuyu knows that all other brothers and sisters are chess pieces used to assist him, but he still has the hostility of competitors and the perception of being superior to everyone.
Even if he had a better attitude towards Yu Jing, it was probably because Yu Jing lived in Longfu.
Wu Sheyue waited while holding her breath, and finally Yu Jing said: "Then you go and convince the emperor. If the emperor agrees, you will also live in Prince Yu's Mansion."
Wumeng smiled, "Okay, I will find a way."
Wu Sheyue was very angry all the way, and she and Yu Jing were not at all on good terms. On the other hand, Wu Meng is much gentler, with a gentle face and a gentle attitude, and he is not even as talkative as before.
The first thing after returning to Longfu was of course to enter the palace and admit her mistake to the emperor. Wu Sheyue burst into tears and complained about how Yu Jing lied to her and said that the cold land was fun but there was nothing but snow. The emperor was not willing to touch her. Naturally, Yu Jing was scolded and fined with some salary and so on.
Wu Meng's reason was that it was too sad to stay in the cold land, and he wanted to stay for a few days to relieve his sorrow. The matter was over without any pain.
Wu Sheyue was unwilling to leave with Yu Jing after she came out of the palace. She insisted on going back to live with Wu Ziyi in the Prime Minister's Mansion. She was very angry when she saw it. Yu Jing originally wanted to keep her for a while, but suddenly changed his mind and asked A Yan to send her back.
—
Wu Ziyi had been waiting for her at the door since she got the news. The current Prime Minister's Mansion has basically not changed, except that the mansion plaque at the door has been taken down. Wu Sheyue has never put anything up, so it is so lonely and empty. Wu Sheyue was still a little emotional after not coming back for a long time.
After entering the door, she found that the servant had not changed much, but his attitude was the same as before. He called out "Princess, Young Master" respectfully.
"Your training is pretty good."
Wu Ziyi smiled and said, "With my sister's support, everything will go smoothly."
They didn't go shopping much and went back to the west courtyard directly. Although the west courtyard was too simple, Wu Sheyue didn't want to live anywhere else. One of them was that she wasn't used to it, and she also hated aunts and sisters. The west courtyard is still very neat and clean. It seems that someone has been cleaning it up. It is good to come back and stay for a while.
Wu Sheyue went into the house and lay down to take a nap, and Ayan went back to bring Ning'er back. Ning'er was very excited all the time and said that she felt like going back to the past.
—
She spent the night at her mother's house like a wronged little daughter-in-law. Early the next morning, as soon as she got up, Ning'er rushed into the house, pulled her and said excitedly: "Miss, according to reliable information, the young prince will enter the palace today." Go and ask for the order!"
When she heard that this so-called reliable news was told to her by A Yan, Wu Sheyue asked lazily, "What are you asking for?"
Ning'er jumped to her feet and shouted, "What else can I do~ The young prince is planning to ask the emperor for a marriage!"
Ayan poked at the door and said, "Master rarely has to go to the emperor to inform you of anything. Third Miss, please don't be angry."
However, Wu Sheyue ignored the two people who turned a deaf ear to her, and Ayan continued awkwardly: "Princess, she is having a little temper now because she is unhappy, but the master likes the young lady, so you don't have to worry about the princess. Keep it in mind." (To be continued)
