Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1262 Know yourself and the enemy
People in the Crown Prince's Mansion and the Prince of Qi's Mansion had different opinions, and the Prince of Qin's Mansion was almost in chaos.

Shentu Tai and others had previously disagreed with Yuwen Ye's retreat to Luoyang, but at least Yuwen Ye was still discussing with them at that time, and everyone wanted to find a proper solution. However, they did not expect that this time, the emperor directly issued an edict to cut off their retreat.

They must go to Luoyang!

This result completely angered some people. As the sky gradually darkened and dusk fell, the atmosphere in the meeting hall became increasingly gloomy.

There was a loud bang on the table, followed by Shen Tutai's angry voice. He said angrily, "Fuck the rebellion!"

When everyone heard this, they fell silent.

No one was even surprised.

Shi Yuxin, who was sitting opposite him, looked up at him and said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too low: "Brother Shentu, please keep your voice down."

Shen Tutai was already furious, like an enraged tiger. Although he frowned when he heard her admonition, he did not refute anything. Instead, Shang Ruyi, who was sitting in the lobby, said calmly: "Don't worry, everyone. The rules in my house are strict."

When everyone heard this, they felt relieved, but their hearts also skipped a beat.

The Princess of Qin's words were not even meant to tell Shentu Tai not to say such treasonous words, nor was she agreeing with Shi Yuxin to ask him to speak more quietly. She just wanted to tell him that no one in this mansion dared to spread gossip.

In other words, everyone can speak freely, including what Shentu Tai just said.

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the King of Qin beside her, but they saw that Yuwen Ye did not refute this statement. However, he did not respond to it either, but just sat there silently without saying a word.

Shentu Tai said: "Your Highness, what are your plans?"

Yuwen Ye looked up at him and said, "We only have ten days to prepare."

Shen Tutai was a little annoyed: "Are you really going to leave?"

The kind boy sitting next to him reached out and gently pulled his sleeve, and Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "General Shentu, don't be anxious. These ten days are certainly the time your majesty has given us to prepare, but whether we want to prepare to go to Luoyang or do something else is still up to us."

After saying that, she also glanced at Yuwen Ye.

When she heard about Yuwen Yuan's arrangement in the carriage, she knew that it had completely hurt Yuwen Ye's heart and he would no longer be obedient, so he immediately summoned everyone to his house to discuss countermeasures; however, beyond reason, he still had a little concern in his heart, that is, with his current status and position, if he really did something, it is very likely that he would leave a bad reputation in history books for generations to come.

This is now a heavier stone weighing on his heart than the love between father and son, and the friendship between brothers and respect between younger brothers.

If they really took action, if Chang'an was really stained with blood...

There is no way he would not leave behind a bad reputation that will last for generations to come!
But the people around him could not understand his subtle thoughts, especially the several soldiers who were so anxious that their eyes turned red. After everyone discussed it for a while, Shen Tutai still spoke up: "Your Highness, the emperor is obviously trying to suppress you this time. If you can't take Shangdang and Puban, you will retreat to Luoyang and wait to be beaten in the future. Instead of fighting at that time, we might as well take action now while we still have the initiative!"

Finally, Yuwen Ye spoke, but he said lightly: "First to attack and then to attack, it depends on the situation, but I have a habit before I act."

Shen Wuzheng said, "Your Highness is used to knowing yourself and the enemy." Yuwen Ye nodded and said, "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger."

Shentu Tai frowned even more tightly: "But the emperor's decree has come down, it's clear, what else do you want to know?"

The kind boy beside him gently tugged at his sleeve once again, and Shi Yuxin, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to have thought of something and said, "The emperor's will is indeed clear, but apart from the emperor, this matter concerns the crown prince and the king of Qi... We must know what they are planning."

When he said this, Pei Xingyuan's eyes lit up: "Yes, Xiao Yuansui has arrived at the Prince's Mansion."

It was not until this time that Shentu Tai and others came to their senses from their anger and remembered their previous discussion about Xiao Yuansui.

Shentu Tai immediately took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and sat back in his seat.

Yuwen Ye said, "Based on the actions of the Crown Prince... the Crown Princess, and the King of Qi, they may not believe that I will just go to Luoyang obediently. I guess they will definitely make some arrangements."

Shentu Tai said: "But how can we know what they want to do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were suddenly heard outside. Everyone looked up immediately and saw a servant hurriedly walking in from outside. He walked straight to Yuwen Ye and whispered a few words in his ear.

Yuwen Ye's eyes flickered.

The servant spoke in a low voice. Even though Shang Ruyi was sitting next to him, he could only vaguely hear words like "at the side door" and "injured", as if someone was coming to see him. After hearing this, Yuwen Ye immediately stood up and said to Shang Ruyi, "I'll go out and take a look first."

At this critical moment, the person that Yuwen Ye is going to meet must be an important person, or something important must have happened.

So Shang Ruyi said, "You go."

Yuwen Ye immediately took the servant and walked out quickly.

As soon as he left, the people who stayed behind all frowned, wondering why he left at this time. Shang Ruyi looked at the expressions of the people, then at the gloomy sky outside, and said, "It's getting late. I'll have someone prepare dinner. Let's eat in the palace later."

Everyone agreed.

On weekdays, they often ate and drank in the Prince of Qin's mansion. Sometimes, when they discussed things until late, they would just sleep here. The princess could arrange everything for them very well, so they were not shy.

Shang Ruyi took Tushe'er down to the kitchen and personally instructed them to prepare meals for more than a dozen people, especially more meat and desserts. The kitchen staff immediately went down to work. Shang Ruyi walked back, and just as he reached the door of the meeting hall, he saw Yuwen Ye walking back from a path leading to the side door.

The dusk was dark, and his face seemed even darker than the dusk, his cold eyes revealed an indescribable solemnity.

More importantly, Shang Ruyi saw that he was holding something tightly in his hand, which seemed to be a jade token. When he walked closer and took a closer look, he found that the jade token looked familiar.

Shang Ruyi said: "Hey, this isn't Third Brother's—"
