Chapter 768

"That's right." Chen Min'er helped Wen Ruyu fill the wine glass again, then suddenly frowned and said, "Your Majesty, you just said that the new emperor of Southern Chu, Mu Xiqiu, was chased by his second brother and fled into Minchuan?"

"That's right." Wen Ruyu picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Concern immediately appeared on Chen Min'er's face, she looked at Wen Ruyu and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, is there any fraud in this! Although Mu Xiqiu's concubine has never seen it before, she has heard many people say Speaking of him, many people in my big week would frown and look solemn every time they mentioned Mu Xiqiu. Chuan, do you think it will be dangerous?"

While talking, Chen Min'er helped Wen Ruyu fill up the wine glass and handed it to him.

Wen Ruyu took it, then turned her head to look at Chen Min'er in surprise with slightly drunken eyes, Chen Min'er said angrily, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Wen Ruyu looked at her carefully for a long time before she opened her mouth and said in puzzlement: "You have always looked down on your second brother, and you are always worried that he will do something rebellious to me. Are you concerned about him?"

A trace of anger suddenly appeared on Chen Min'er's face, she looked up at Wen Ruyu and said angrily, "Could it be that in His Majesty's heart, this concubine is such a ignorant person? Now that Da Zhou is in such a crisis, Even if the concubine is afraid of the second younger brother, is it possible that he still hopes that something will happen to him at this moment? He is now the commander of the three armies, if something happens to him, how can Da Zhou resist that Mu Xiqiu's cavalry?"

After saying this, Chen Miner immediately turned around and sulked, as if she didn't want to see Wen Ruyu again.

Wen Ruyu finished the wine in the glass, then lightly patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'm the one who blamed you, can't you?"

Chen Min'er was still unwilling to turn around, and turned her back to Wen Ruyu and said coldly: "Your Majesty, the weather is getting colder, and you have drunk too much. You should go back to rest earlier. The concubine is tired, so let's come here tonight."

Wen Ruyu was suddenly a little confused: "Let me go? Where are you going to let me go? You are the only woman in this harem. If you don't rest here, why don't you let me go to the imperial study to rest?"

"That is your Majesty's business."

Wen Ruyu's swaying body pulled Chen Min'er into her arms and comforted her with a light smile: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, I made a slip of the tongue and blamed you just now, so I apologize to you, isn't it okay? "

Chen Miner twisted a few times in Wen Ruyu's arms resolutely, and finally couldn't break free, so she snorted softly and said, "Your words are inappropriate, you will punish yourself with three cups!"

"Okay, okay, listen to you, if you punish yourself for three cups, you will punish yourself for three cups. It seems that I haven't had a good drink with you since I became the throne. Tonight will be regarded as compensation for you."

After saying this, Wen Ruyu drank three more glasses in a row. After these three glasses of wine, his eyes became more blurred, his handsome face turned red, and his body shook even more violently up.

Chen Min'er glanced at him with satisfaction, and then continued: "Let's talk about business, the second brother followed Mu Xiqiu into Minchuan, surely there will be no accidents? Then Mu Xiqiu has many methods!"

Wen Ruyu shook her head slightly, and said to herself: "It's not that you don't understand Ruyan, then Mu Xiqiu has many means, so doesn't Ruyan have no means?"

"The concubine knows that the second brother is powerful, but everyone in the world evaluates that Mu Xiqiu is an extraordinary talent. If the second brother goes up against him, I'm afraid the second brother will be powerless, right?"

As soon as Chen Min'er said these words, Wen Ruyu swayed straight up and stood up, with a slightly displeased look on her face. Since she was a child, she was always scolded by the world for hiding her clumsiness. Angry but still unable to defend him, now that Wen Ruyan has become a blockbuster and has proved to the world that he is not an idiot, how can Wen Ruyu endure that people still look down on him at this time?
Not even Chen Min'er!
In Wen Ruyu's heart, his second younger brother Wen Ruyan is the real unworldly genius, what qualifications do other people have to compare with him?
I only heard Wen Ruyu say angrily at that time: "Are you saying that Ruyan is not that Mu Xiqiu's opponent? Are you kidding me? Ruyan has won more than lost against Namu Xiqiu many times. How could he not be able to defeat Namu? Xiqiu?"

Chen Min'er sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, you just said that they have fought so many times. Although the second brother won more than lost, but he also lost, right? Of course, the concubine also hopes that the second brother can win against Minchuan." I won against Mu Xiqiu, but who would dare to make a conclusion on such a matter?"

"Don't talk about it, don't worry, there will be no accidents in the land of Minchuan. The Southern Chu army has already retreated from the land of Sichuan and Shu in a hurry, so what kind of disturbance can Mu Xiqiu stir up with only a few thousand soldiers? You can beat him if you say so.”

"Then what should my father and the others do now? After the Southern Chu army withdraws from Sichuan and Shu, will the pressure on Anyang Mansion increase?"

"Duke Zhen Guo has asked me for an order, and I intend to lead troops to support Anyang Mansion, and I intend to agree!"

"Your Majesty, you drank too much. The decisions you make now are all drunk. Maybe your evaluation of your second brother is also because of drunkenness. You can't take it seriously. You should wait until tomorrow to make a decision!"

"I have confidence in him because I'm drunk? Huh!"

Wen Ruyu snorted suddenly, and continued: "Just wait and see. Also, how can we wait until tomorrow for what happened today? Besides, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Not to mention a day later, even an hour later may change the situation of the battle. Let's go first, I'm going back to the imperial study to draw up the decree, you should rest earlier."

Seeing his leaving back, Chen Min'er also had an inexplicable expression on his face.

As for Wen Ruyu, it seemed that he might have lost his wits just now, but how could he suspect that the person next to his bed every night would deliberately design it for him?How can a person with deep affection doubt the person he loves the most?
Two days later.

Chuanzhou City.

Ji Ning, who was in a mess, rushed all the way to the small courtyard where Ye Linxue lived, and after hearing what Ji Ning said, Ye Linxue sent someone to invite the commander Xie Shan over.

"What? Your Highness encountered such a problem in Minchuan?" Xie Shan immediately stood up after listening to their words.

Ji Ning nodded, and said: "Although the Southern Chu soldiers led by Mu Xiqiu are not the opponents of the Black Cavalry Battalion, but the opponent's troops are far superior to His Highness. His Highness and the soldiers of the Black Riding Battalion couldn't rest at all. His Highness chased after Mu Xiqiu several times, but the other party kept avoiding the battle. If things go on like this, the defeat of the Black Riding Battalion is inevitable, so His Highness asked me to hurry back and want to let you The two rushed to support, he will try his best to delay that Mu Xiqiu."

Xie Shan and Ye Linxue looked at each other, then nodded straightly and said: "Then Mu Xiqiu is really a genius in leading troops. Not only has he corrected the shortcomings of the Southern Chu soldiers' lack of combat power, but he has also dragged His Highness back. To be honest, There is really no way to deal with such a strategy with the little troops in His Highness's hands! It's not too late, let's make preparations early!"

Ye Linxue's face was also full of eagerness at the moment, and she asked, "What are you going to do?"

Xie Shan thought for a while and then said directly: "I'm going to see Chen Ling!"

Ye Linxue became anxious immediately, and said, "You still want to see him at this time? Don't you know that he is determined not to go to Minchuan for reinforcements?"

Xie Shan smiled wryly, and said: "There is no way, after all, Chen Ling is the highest general on our side at this moment, and I can only be regarded as his deputy general in this expedition. Although the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Battalion will obey my orders, if you don't Say hello to Chen Ling and lead the troops away. He is afraid that he will come out to stop him directly. Then he will tear his face directly, and at that time, we will be the ones who are in the wrong! He can refer to me in front of His Majesty. He said that he had not received any news of His Highness asking for help at all. It was I who advocated the mobilization of the Black Cavalry Battalion. Now I can only go to him first and tell him the information of His Highness asking for help. If he refuses, I will And then lead the troops to leave, and at that time, even if the trouble comes before His Majesty, I will be able to stand still!"

Ye Linxue was also a little concerned at the moment and became confused. After listening to Xie Shan's words, she immediately realized that no matter what, she had to say hello to Chen Ling before dispatching troops. If she didn't say hello, it would be considered a crime. Big mistake!

It is a capital offense for a lieutenant to skip over the main general and deploy troops privately!

"Then go and come back quickly!"

Xie Shan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back in half an hour at most!"

Governor's Palace.

He Changzai informed Chen Ling of the news of Ji Ning's return, and Chen Ling immediately reacted, and said directly, "I'm afraid Wen Ruyan sent someone back to ask for help!"

He Changzai immediately asked: "Then what should we do? The soldiers of the Seven Thousand Black Cavalry Battalion listen to Xie Shan's words very well. Even if you stop them, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop them!"

Chen Ling sneered instantly and said, "Don't worry, Xie Shan must be on his way to find me by now."

"Huh?" He Changzai was puzzled.

"He doesn't have that much guts. Even if Wen Ruyan asks for help, he still has to tell me the news. If he doesn't tell me and sends troops directly, then I can kill him on the spot!"

He Changzai also reacted, and Dang asked again: "If he comes to report this matter to you, what are you going to do? The relationship between His Majesty and Wen Ruyan is well known in the world. If His Majesty finds out about you Hearing the news of Wen Ruyan's request for help but standing still on purpose, I'm afraid I'm about to cause trouble for you."

Chen Ling got up and shook his head slightly, a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face: "What if Xie Shan didn't report to me?"

"What do you mean?"

Chen Ling whispered a few words in his ear with a smile, and He Chang also had an inexplicable expression on his face after listening.

"Is this really feasible? Shouldn't it be hidden from His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty will definitely not be able to hide it. After all, he has long known my fear of Wen Ruyan, but he can't get hold of me, so what can he do with me? Even if he knows everything, he will suppress it when he is angry. I, too, will suppress our Chen family, but as long as the empress' position remains unchanged, the Chen family will never fall!"

"But even this can only delay the time a little bit, and it cannot solve the problems we are facing."

Chen Ling sighed up to the sky, and said: "The next thing is to see if the Empress can help us!"

He Changzai nodded, and ordered a person he trusted enough to do what Chen Ling told him.

After about half a stick of incense, Xie Shan came to the governor's mansion on horseback, and He Changzai personally welcomed him in.

Seeing Chen Ling, Xie Shan said straight to the point without any nonsense: "General Chen, His Highness sent someone back to send a message, saying that he encountered a problem in Minchuan, and wants me to lead the troops to help!"

Chen Ling frowned slightly, and said, "Since His Highness sent someone back to ask for help, why didn't you come directly to me?"

Xie Shan sneered in his heart, looking for you directly?I'm afraid I won't even be able to see your face.

However, he could only think about this in his heart and could not say it directly. He smiled lightly and then replied: "The guard who sent the message ran around in Minchuan for two days and rushed to Chuanzhou. When I entered the city, I was already exhausted, and the last general happened to be at the gate of the city, so after listening to his words, I came directly to you on behalf of him."

Chen Ling nodded: "The land of Minchuan is extremely difficult, and it is a skill for him to get out of that place alone."

While they were talking, the servants of the Governor's Mansion also brought up the tea, and Chen Ling made a gesture to Xie Shan, saying, "Drink tea."

Xie Shan was really thirsty after galloping all the way on horseback. He didn't even think about it, even took a big sip of the cup of tea, and then said directly: "General, it's not too late, I'd better send someone to Min Chuan reinforces His Highness!"

Chen Ling got up with a smile, walked over to Xie Shan, pressed him on the chair, and said with a smile: "Since His Highness sent someone back to send a message, we naturally can't just sit idly by, but you and I don't care. We need to discuss who to send and how many people should be sent there? It’s not just a matter of saying a word to start the army.”

"What's so difficult about it? The final general is willing to lead five thousand soldiers from the Black Cavalry Battalion to Minchuan in person."

"You, as the commander of the black cavalry battalion, you are so anxious."

"Don't worry, I'm in Minchuan right now."

As soon as Xie Shan said this, he suddenly felt a daze in front of his eyes, and then a sense of drowsiness rushed to the sky, and his body, which was still sitting upright, suddenly swayed.

Xie Shan reacted in an instant, and bit the tip of his tongue ruthlessly. The severe pain also made his head clear a little bit, and he got up immediately and grabbed Chen Ling.

"How dare you poison the tea?"

Xie Shan was naturally extremely furious. To be reasonable, he never thought that Chen Ling would play tricks on the tea water. You must know that he is not an ordinary person. poison?

Chen Ling is also a battle-tested veteran, so it is naturally impossible for Xie Shan to just grab him. He took a step back and avoided it, but Xie Shan is also a person who is about to break through the third level of inner strength, and he bullied him again. After Chen Ling was forced to fight with him for a few moves, he slapped him on the chest.

Chen Ling took a few steps back and bumped into the wall, with a trace of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, Xie Shan yelled at him with a gloomy face: "You despicable villain, today I will capture you and send you to Yanjing , I would like to see how the Empress will defend you!"

Chen Ling wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, looked at Xie Shan and said with a smile, "You want to capture me? Stand firm before you talk!"

The endless drowsiness swept over again, and Xie Shan staggered at his feet. He tried his best to attack Chen Ling again, but before he could reach Chen Ling, he fell to the ground in the dark. on the ground.

At this time, He Changzai also ran in, seeing the blood on the corner of Chen Ling's mouth, he stepped forward eagerly and asked, "Are you okay?"

Chen Ling waved his hands and said directly, "No problem!"

"Everything you told me has been done."

Chen Ling nodded: "Send him there directly!"

"Yes!"

"By the way, tell the people outside the governor's mansion that if Ye Linxue comes over, they must not let her in!"

"it is good!"

"Go."
