Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 371 The Truth
Gongsun Lan always thought that she was a very strong person, but at this moment, she felt that she was extremely weak. She just wanted to sit down and cry aloud.Hearing and seeing with one's own eyes are two completely different things.If she was sitting in a warm and comfortable room with clear windows in the capital, and others told her how the soldiers on the frontier suffered, how seriously injured, how miserable, she would sigh at most and forget it in a blink of an eye.

Only when you see it with your own eyes, you will know what is desolate and what is miserable.

She covered her nose and mouth, not wanting to make herself cry out loud. Others were injured and hadn't cried yet. As a person with complete arms and legs, what right did she have to shed tears in front of these wounded?

Without waiting for Yu Miao, she turned around and ran back to the tent, lying on the bed in the tent, crying.

When Yu Miao came back, she had just wiped away her tears, and her little face was still a little dirty, "What's the face of the court? The reasons insisted by those in the capital are bullshit? There are so many of them here. An innocent human life! Who doesn’t have a father and a mother, the old and the young? There is only one life, why should they stand on the temple and dictate, these people will throw their heads and blood here, and even die Don't even care?"

Yu Miao stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder lightly.

But Gongsun Lan couldn't help but continued: "Tell them to come and have a try... King Qi forbids banquets and gatherings in the capital. Once they find out, they will punish the money. I still complained in front of Xinniang that I didn't even have a chance to play. Thinking about how hateful I am... I should let everyone in the capital come to the frontier, to the battlefield, and see if there is any war. How cruel!"

"Okay." Yu Miao comforted her gently, "What we insist on is to negotiate peace with the Turkic people in a victorious posture. We must make the deaths and injuries of these soldiers more valuable, and we must make the border Peaceful and flourishing.”

Gongsun Lan nodded, sniffed, "Then what can I do?"

Yu Miao smiled lightly, "You come with me."

Gongsun Lan quickly wiped her dirty little face with her hands, followed behind Yu Miao, Yu Miao took two steps, then turned around and said, "Take the bowl and chopsticks."

Gongsun Lan was taken aback, then returned to the shelf, took the bowls and chopsticks of the two, and muttered in a low voice: "Aren't you going to do something for the border? Don't you want to contribute to the peace negotiation? What are you doing with the bowls and chopsticks?"

Yu Miao had already left the camp, so she quickly followed.Xiao Pao followed Yu Miao who was striding forward, but saw that he was really walking towards the steaming cauldron.

"What a meal..." She was about to complain, but suddenly remembered that Yu Miao had fought and fought all night.It's bitter cold here, it's fine if you work hard all night and don't have a rest, if you can't even eat a mouthful of hot food, your body may not be able to bear it.To do things for the people, for these soldiers, he, the general, must be in good health.

Gongsun Lan pursed her lips and said nothing.When the soldier gave her food, she thanked her uncharacteristically.It was rather embarrassing for the soldier serving the rice.

Squatting beside Yu Miao holding a bowl, Gongsun Lan didn't say a word of nonsense.Calmly and quickly, he picked up the food in the bowl and gnawed on the cornbread in his hand.

Yu Miao glanced at her sideways and smiled slightly.

Gongsun Lan ignored him, and concentrated on eating, for some reason, yesterday, the food that felt that the color and aroma were not close to each other, but today it was so fragrant and delicious.During the meal, she seemed to have tears dripping into the bowl, but she sniffed, smiled at the rice in the bowl, and ate it with big mouthfuls.

It's just that after she took a bite of the big piece of fat, she still picked all the meat into Yu Miao's bowl.

"Not used to it?" Yu Miao asked.

Gongsun Lan hummed, turned her face away, and buried her head in the rice. She found that the fat meat was not as unpalatable as she imagined. Under this situation, after seeing the tragic situation of the wounded just now, she felt that she could be safe and healthy. Squatting here and eating a bite of meat is simply a great happiness.But seeing Yu Miao eating the meat, she seemed happier and more satisfied.

Never thought that she, who has always been well-clothed and well-fed, would have the experience she has today, and would cherish the fat that she had never considered in the past.If she hadn't been hijacked by someone, if she hadn't been saved by him, or someone else had told her that she would cherish such a bowl of rice with no color, flavor or taste, she would never have believed it.

Life is really a wonderful thing. More experience will make people look at the world from a completely different perspective.

Finished breakfast.Yu Miao ordered someone to lift Chu Yun out of the execution room, and took him directly to the military medical camp.

Gongsun Lan kept following, unable to bear to see the pained expressions of the wounded, so she kept paying attention to Chu Yun's expression.However, Chu Yun was not as indifferent or indifferent as he had seen before.When he saw the soldiers with terrible injuries, he couldn't bear to look sideways.There is also pity and regret between the tightly furrowed brows.

Yu Miao pulled him, walked to a wounded person's couch, pointed to the wounded person and said, "Look at him, he is only 16 years old, because his brother was injured when he was young, and there were no other males in the family, so he was conscripted. He is 16 years old. This is the third time he has been lying here. The first two times were fatal, but he was rescued with only flesh injuries. This time the injury was serious. The military doctor said that he might not be able to wake up. He has no wife yet. Son, life is only just beginning."

Yu Miao pulled him again and walked to another sick bed, pointing at the wounded one by one.

Not only Chu Yun, but even Gongsun Lan were very surprised. He, a dignified general, knew the wounded so clearly.

Listening to his deep voice explaining the origins and experiences of the wounded one by one, Gongsun Lan felt as if a boulder was crushing her heart.

Yu Miao brought Chu Yun back to the torture room, "I don't want to fight. Some people say that bloody wars are addictive. I don't know how many wars the person talking has experienced and how hard-hearted they are." I have not. I have been in the Northwest for so many years, and I have seen too much life and death, but I still can’t take it lightly. I hope to see less and less helpless life and death. How the Holy Majesty thinks and makes choices is not something I can interfere with. I want to try my best to do some practical things for peace. Do something for the people on the frontier and for the soldiers who follow me."

Chu Yun lowered her head, wondering if he really listened to Yu Miao's words.

"I thought, you know a lot more than what you said. And there is very important information. If you don't tell it, you can change this helpless situation." Yu Miao looked at Chu Yun who lowered her head and asked road.

For a long time, the big tent was silent.

Gongsun Lan stepped forward impatiently, and punched Chu Yun hard.

"You are from Liang, and you just watch your people suffer and your fellow clansmen die without moving. You can do something, but you don't want to do anything?" Gongsun Lan said angrily.

"Who asked you to kidnap Mrs. Gongsun? For what? What conspiracy is behind it?" Yu Miao pulled Gongsun Lan away, looked at Chu Yun and asked.

Chu Yun kept her head down, and when Gongsun Lan couldn't help but wanted to step forward again, he coughed twice and said slowly, "Khan Tumen has two grown-up and powerful sons, one is the elder One of the princes is the second prince. The first prince is cruel and belligerent, and he likes to make great achievements. The second prince has a far-sighted vision and advocates peace talks."

Gongsun Lan stared at him, and Yu Miao nodded slowly.

Chu Yun licked her dry lips, "Will you drool?"

Yu Miao poured water herself and brought it to his mouth.Chu Yun gulped down several sips of water before saying again: "The First Prince has been trying every means to sabotage the peace talks. But Tumen Khan prefers and admires the Second Prince, which makes the First Prince very angry. The two peace negotiations to Daliang The envoys were all dispatched by the second prince on his initiative, and the candidates were also determined by the second prince. Unfortunately, none of them came back alive, which made the first prince very happy, and kept suppressing and humiliating the second prince in front of Tumen Khan. The second prince's idea of ​​peace negotiation had to be Put it aside."

He seemed to be talking a little dry, Yu Miao brought the bowl to his mouth without waiting for him to speak.

"But Tumen Khan still doesn't like the first prince, but prefers the second prince. The first prince couldn't be convinced, so he wanted to facilitate the peace negotiation, and he wanted to facilitate this matter with a complete victory. So he sent me to wait In the capital, take down those who can threaten General Yu. I didn't know until I arrived in the capital that most of General Yu's family members were exiled. Apart from the dead Yu Tai, the only remaining relatives were the Empress Dowager who was under house arrest in the palace. This made me very embarrassed. I found out later that General Yu had a fiancée who hadn't passed the family history, so I found a solution. However, General Yu's fiancée also came from a general's family, and she was also the younger sister of General Shence Army. I couldn't wait to make a move, and after delaying for a long time, I brought Mrs. Gongsun to the border, and was captured by General Yu before crossing the border." Chu Yun lowered her head, unable to see his expression clearly on her bloody face.

Gongsun Lan frowned upon hearing this, and nodded slightly.

Yu Miao shook her head again and again and said, "You are not from the First Prince's side, you are from the Second Prince's."

Chu Yun suddenly looked up at Yu Miao, then grinned suddenly, "So what?"

"The First Prince is afraid of the Second Prince. Naturally, the Second Prince cannot be defenseless. You are the person the Second Prince sent to the First Prince. Gain the trust of the First Prince, and persuade the First Prince to change his mind about confronting Tumen Khan. It's Tumen Khan's intention, and this is the plan to kidnap Mrs. Gongsun." Yu Miao said slowly.

Chu Yun didn't deny it, just snorted.

"You went to the capital and delayed for two months, not just to kidnap Mrs. Gongsun, right?" Yu Miao asked again.

Only then did Chu Yun restrain her smile, and looked at Yu Miao with burning eyes.

"What is the second prince's purpose?" Yu Miao asked.

Only then did Chu Yun shake her head, "The second prince just wanted to make peace. Our two countries are neighbors. Fighting like this is not good for each other. Instead, the snipe and the clam fight each other, and the fisherman benefits. Make profit from it. Why can't the two countries exchange border trade and develop together, so that those foreign countries that are eyeing the tiger have no chance? Isn't such a fight a waste of money?"

"You don't have to say these words to prevaricate me. I naturally know the pros and cons. I just ask you. What is the matter that the second prince sent you to the capital?" Yu Miao asked.
