Chapter 613: Four People Talking in the Big Tent

After Jin Yuanmou delivered the imperial edict, he took a short rest and immediately returned to Pingyang, because he still had to report the situation on Liu Yao's side to the emperor.

Li Lianhua completely ignored him. It was Yang Xianyong who escorted Jin Yuanmou out of the tent, brought him some food, and gave him a few instructions before letting him leave.

When he returned to Liu Yao's tent, Liu Yao was staring at Yang Xianrong drinking a bowl of hot chicken soup, almost staring at her without blinking his eyes.

After half a month of recuperation, the blood holes on his body were healing, and those small wounds had long since healed. However, he was indeed losing blood, and he was still a lot thinner. Because of the shortage of military rations, he refused to eat too much, and gave all the good food to Yang Xianrong, saying that he couldn't let his son starve.

Yang Xianrong did not refuse, and as long as there was food, she would eat as much as possible to make her body stronger. So, she really gained weight.

"Brother-in-law should change his name in the future." Yang Xianyong smiled happily, "Be careful with the medicine bowl in your hand, don't drop it into my sister's soup bowl."

"What name do you want to change to?" Yang Xianrong finally finished all the chicken soup. Just as she was about to wipe the corners of her mouth, Liu Yao's big hand immediately touched her and wiped her lips and cheeks very carefully. Later, he couldn't help but touch her earlobe, making Yang Xianrong's face blush.

"Liu Dingding." Yang Xianyong really didn't have too many scruples now, and he was joking with Liu Yao casually, but Liu Yao was still very happy, still looking at Yang Xianrong, "I like this name. The name given by the eldest brother, I must use it as the brother-in-law. Otherwise, I will go and carve a seal and write the word 'Dingding' directly, how about it?"

"What are you doing?" Yang Xianrong had already pushed away Liu Yao's hand and said to Yang Xianyong, "Brother, here is half a bowl of chicken soup, drink it."

"Okay." Yang Xianyong was not polite and drank it all in one gulp, not afraid of the heat at all.

At this time, Li Lianhua did not announce anything, but walked in through the curtain of the big tent. With a dark face, she asked Yang Xianyong: "Why did you accept the imperial edict? What the hell is that? Why did he do that? Can't your husband be sent back to Pingyang?"

A series of questions could be seen in the sparkling eyes of Li Lianhua.

Yang Xianrong and Liu Yao had just learned the contents of the imperial edict and looked at each other. Liu Yao spoke first, "General Li, don't be impatient, sit down first."

Because it was Liu Yao who spoke, Li Lianhua suppressed her anger, found a stool and sat down.

Now, there were only four of them in the big tent. No one spoke for a while and it was quite quiet.

Yang Xianyong saw that the chicken soup in the bowl had been finished, so he had no choice but to push his cup of hot water to her, "This imperial decree must be accepted, but it can also be changed."

"What? How to change it?" Li Lianhua refused to drink the water and still widened her eyes. "After all, he just doesn't believe us. Liu Yue followed Liu Yuan to rebel against the Jin Dynasty back then, and I naturally followed my husband. We haven't had any contact since my parents' family, so what does he mean by saying this now? Does he think I can lead people to rebel against the Han Dynasty again?" "That's not the case. In fact, you should be happy." Yang Xianyong's eyes narrowed into slits, full of smiles.

"What do you mean?" Li Lianhua's eyes widened.

"Brother, don't tease General Li." Yang Xianrong spoke at the right time and sighed slightly, "General Li, it is obvious that they are afraid of your ability and are afraid that you will take people back to your mother's home."

"How can I go back?"

"You don't go back, but others think you will. If you keep talking about it, people will believe it. If they believe it more, it will become a fact."

"It's not true." Li Lianhua's voice became much louder.

"Listen to what my wife has to say first." Liu Yao snorted. It really worked. Li Lianhua stopped talking immediately.

Yang Xianrong couldn't help laughing, and she held Liu Yao's big hand with her small hand, and their hands were hooked together. Yang Xianyong and Li Lianhua frowned at the same time, but didn't say anything.

"My eldest brother must have had some considerations before accepting this imperial edict. First of all, we were ordered to go to the battle, but now we have all suffered a defeat, and it will be difficult to explain to the emperor. If our attitude is worse, and Jin Yuanmou goes back to exaggerate, I'm afraid there will be trouble again. It is better to have a better attitude and send him away first. Of course, the emperor now values ​​Jin Zhun very much, and this messenger will also become a prince consort, and he will be in great glory. There is no need for us to offend him because of an imperial edict." Yang Xianrong analyzed the situation carefully for her, and Yang Xianyong on the side nodded repeatedly.

"When we were in Pingyang, we saw that many things are now handled by Jin Zhun. So, including the matter of General Liu Yue, it is possible that the imperial edict was written by Jin Zhun. He also wants to test the loyalty of the generals of the Han Dynasty. After all, there are too many factions in the court, and Liu Yi's people have not been completely cleared out, which is also difficult." Yang Xianyong pushed the cup of hot water to Li Lianhua again, allowing her to drink a sip of water calmly.

Li Lianhua clenched her fists and agreed with what they said. "Jin Zhun has always been a low-key person, so how come he is able to take the top position now?"

"He should have some knowledge and ability. At least the imperial edicts he wrote are clear and well written, leaving others speechless." Liu Yao also joined the conversation. "Although I don't like him very much, the emperor needs someone right now, so it's good to use him properly."

"We will see what kind of person he is later. General Li, I think General Liu Yue doesn't have to be sent back to Pingyang for burial. It won't be the capital in the future. It would be better to find a place with green mountains for him. Just like what we have been saying these days, he is just a skeleton. In the future, you and I will be just a handful of earth. No one will even remember us. Why do we have to care so much?" Yang Xianrong's eyes were very bright. She reached out and held Li Lianhua's hand. "Living a good life is the most important thing. What's more, General Liu's two sons are not yet adults. Don't be impulsive. You should think more about them."

"Only after experiencing life and death can you know how precious the person in front of you is." Liu Yao was unwilling to let Yang Xianrong hold someone else's hand, even if it was a woman. He held Yang Xianrong's waist in a somewhat demonstrative manner, and also made her a human cushion, fearing that she would tire him out.

Seeing this, Li Lianhua frowned again. However, thinking that what Yang Xianrong said made sense, he couldn't help but ask again: "Should I attack Fengyang City? So many people can't take it down, and if I take people with me, wouldn't it be suicide? What exactly is Liu Cong, or Jin Zhun, up to?"
