It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 657: Loyalty and Righteousness Are the Most Rare
The weather was getting hotter and hotter. It hadn't rained for a long time. The water level in the wells of Chang'an had dropped a lot. Yang Xianrong had to save some water when she wanted to water the flowers and plants in the general's mansion. Cui Xi stayed by her side, watching her gradually bulging belly. Her limbs were still very thin. She said with some concern: "Girl, you should eat more. Don't hurt your body."

"It's always been barbecue and Hu pancakes these days, which is really annoying. I want to drink some noodle soup." Yang Xianrong glanced into the house. The two children were still taking a nap, and they were finally quieter. "Is Liu Cheng coming back for dinner today?"

Liu Yao's eldest son has also grown a lot. Many of his young soldiers have been formally incorporated into Liu Yao's "Yao" army, and he has also recruited many new young generals, all of whom are full of vigor and vitality and want to make a career.

Liu Yao reorganized his army comprehensively, not only reorganizing his own troops and Liu Yue's troops, but also incorporating Yang Xianrong's imperial guards. Her imperial guards were the elite troops of the Han Dynasty, fighting one against a hundred, and all of them became generals in the "Yao" army. Yang Xianrong also asked these people privately that if they did not want to be generals of the Han Dynasty, they could continue to follow her.

This time, they were very determined, saying that they were still willing to be a soldier, no matter who they went to the battlefield for, they wanted to make the world peaceful. Even Yuan Jianshuo and Zhang Heng followed him into the "Yao" army, and they all put on new battle robes and armor, which was quite unusual.

Yuan Jianshuo had been with Yang Xianrong the longest. Before leaving the General's Mansion, he secretly came to find Yang Xianrong and said that he was not unwilling to stay in the General's Mansion, but hoped to have greater military power and team. Only with power in his hands could he better protect Yang Xianrong.

Yang Xianrong only said: "Be careful, just stay alive."

Along the way, they have experienced a lot together and have become like family. Although Yuan Jianshuo and Zhang Heng made the right choice in this chaotic world, Yang Xianrong always hopes that everyone is alive and stays by her side.

Just like her two brothers were generals in Liu Yao's army and often came back to see her, but she was always worried.

"My sister-in-law is really a heroine! A few days ago, I saw her training those soldiers, and every move she made was extremely heroic!" Cui Xi was making small clothes for the children, and was also gossiping with Yang Xianrong.

Yang Xianrong was thinking about something else. Since solving the case of Xie An's injustice, Liu Yao's reputation in Chang'an City has been rapidly improved, and the momentum of Jin Zhun's faction has been suppressed. But this matter still depends on Liu Cong's attitude. Liu Cong did not demote Jin Xi, nor did he blame Jin Zhun too much, but he asked Liu Yao not only to reinstate his official position, but also to hand over his own imperial guards to him for management, and also to hand over a group of troops originally belonging to the prince to him for command.

So, Liu Cong is trying to strike a balance?

But now it is obvious that Liu Cong's health is getting worse day by day, and the next thing is the issue of the crown prince.

After confirming that Sima Jing was safe, Mao Hongmao walked around the current territory of the Han Dynasty, because he also wanted to know who would be the next monarch who could unify the world?
Later, I heard that Liu Yao became a general and married. It was rumored that his wife was Yang Xianrong.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he thought that the woman should be happy, not to mention that he was already a member of the Yang family.

Therefore, he secretly investigated the status of various forces and the current political situation of the Han Dynasty more seriously. He also came to Chang'an, but hid in the dark and did not go to find Yang Xianrong. Gradually, he also found that it might not be so simple for Yang Xianrong to ask Liu Yao to step down, but Liu Yao did not have an advantage among the royal family because of his identity. If Liu Cong was in poor health as rumored, then the successor prince would be Jin Zhun, a relative of the emperor, because of his young age. For Liu Yao and Yang Xianrong, the future days would not be easy.

But what Liu Yao lacked was reputation and support among the people of the Han Dynasty.

What's more, he had suffered defeats in the past two years and his prestige in the army had declined a lot.

Therefore, if we want to help him get promoted, there must be some sensational event.

Mao Hongmao was the head of the Embroidered Uniform Envoys, and he was more tolerant and observant. He hid in a corner of Chang'an and carefully observed the various forces. He also saw Liu Yao's sincerity and love for Yang Xianrong. Seeing the smile on Yang Xianrong's face become brighter and brighter, he was also very happy in his heart.

It was at this time that a murder occurred in the small inn where he often went to drink.

He didn't know much about Mou Huaizhong, but he knew that he didn't have a particularly good temper. But this man was really good at making wine, and he liked to drink his wine, so he became a frequent customer. Therefore, he felt that it was very strange that Mou Huaizhong was killed and Xie An was convicted. After all, the two didn't know each other before and had no intersection, so how could he be killed?

Seeing that Chang'an prefect Jin Xi hastily closed the case, Xie Tianshou came to Chang'an to appeal for injustice... He thought this should also be a great opportunity for Liu Yao to improve his reputation. After all, if Liu Yao couldn't find out such an unjust case, Yang Xianrong would definitely find a way.

He trusted her very much.

But he had also sworn to be loyal to Sima Zhong until his death. For some reason, he still felt a little jealous, even hateful, for Yang Xianrong's bright smile now. If Sima Zhong had not been so stupid, the Jin Dynasty might not have been destroyed like this. If Yang Xianrong had also died alive at that time, would the rest of the story have to be rewritten?

He took out the white jade earrings, thinking of provoking Yang Xianrong and stubbornly emphasizing his former identity. That little bit of pride always lingered deep in his heart.

When he saw Yang Xianrong put on that white jade earring, and when he saw Liu Yao put on the other white jade earring for Yang Xianrong, the scale in his heart had completely tilted towards Yang Xianrong and Liu Yao. He knew how important a person who valued love and friendship was in this chaotic world, let alone such a weak woman.

Of course, even if he didn't help Liu Yao, the generals and counselors under Liu Yao had already seen the current situation, and many of them were secretly analyzing the current situation with Liu Yao. So, if it was peaceful, it would be the best. If they had to fight, would the situation of killing their brothers-in-law happen again? Then, would Yang Xianrong be injured? What's more, she was not in good health now, so it was always unsafe.

There is one more chapter today, I will update it later
