King Leng pursues his wife, but abandons his concubine

Chapter 398: Premonition of War (8)
Every prince in the Zichen Kingdom, even though they look gentle and harmless on the outside, are not a fuel-efficient lamp on the inside!

And the old emperor of Zichen Kingdom, even though he tried every means to prevent the growth of every prince or prince and the growing power of his subordinates, he would eventually be unable to do what he wanted because of his age, and thus self-defeating...

However, he himself did not notice this at all.

At this moment, in a government office in Ziyangchuan City, Leng Yuechen, Lian Chengyu, Duanmu Rui, and Mrs. Duanmu beside him were all sitting in the hall, as if they were going to discuss something?
"Thank you Lord Leng for your kind heart, thank you for letting go of all the innocent people in Ziyangchuan City as you said, Duanmu Rui is here to replace wine with tea, thank you!"

After saying this, Duanmu Rui picked up a cup of tea on the wooden table with one hand, and immediately poured it into his mouth.

"Qiang~" sounded, and with a shake of Duanmu Rui's right hand, the cup of green tea held in his fingers fell to the ground, and the green tea slowly flowed out from the quilt, instantly making the place dizzy.

"General Duanmu, this king knows that you must feel very unwilling to let you voluntarily open the city and surrender to our Yue Kingdom under such a forced and helpless situation!"

Leng Yuechen raised the cup in her hand, twirled it between her clean and slender fingers, and said lightly, her voice was still as cold and frosty as ever.

"..."

Duanmu Rui said nothing, just looked down at the pool of clear tea on the ground, as if he saw something extremely attractive.

"master……"

The young woman behind Duanmurui stepped forward, calling softly, her hands unconsciously crossed the corners of his clothes, and held Duanmurui's cold right hand, as if she wanted to use such a way, silently told Duanmu Rui that she was always there, and no matter what happened, she would always be by his side and never leave him...

However, the delicate little face with a little sickness couldn't help being stained with worry and uneasiness.

In this world, there is no other person who knows better than her how stubborn and stubborn Duanmu Rui is.

Because I understand it, I am even more worried.

"General Duanmu, to be honest, this king now hates everyone in your Zichen Kingdom to the bone. Because it is because of the deliberate instigation of the royal family of your Zichen Kingdom that this king temporarily lost his concubine. This kind of hatred for killing one's wife, even if you use the blood of all the people in Zichen Kingdom to pay homage to this king's concubine, it is not too much."

When Leng Yuechen mentioned Leng Wangfei, Lian Chengyu clearly saw that Leng Yuechen's deep and bottomless eyes seemed to flash a ray of starlight, illuminating the entire dark and icy night sky, but suddenly changed It became a sadness and pain, and finally turned into a bloodthirsty hatred...

Lian Chengyu cried out "No", just when he was about to stand up and stop Leng Yuechen from doing something terrible, Leng Yuechen's deep and gloomy eyes had returned to their original appearance, Although he was still so cold, ruthless and devoid of emotion, at least he didn't have any murderous aura, and all the aggressive aura that had just emanated from his body was also calmly withdrawn.

If Lian Chengyu and Leng Yuechen hadn't known each other for a long time, I'm afraid he would be like Duanmu Rui in the hall, thinking that the oppressive depression just now was just their illusion, right? !

"But the king thought that An'er is such a kind person. If she came back one day, when she knew that the king had committed so many murders because of her, she would definitely blame the king. And, Those who hurt An'er are only the royal family of Zichen Kingdom after all, and have nothing to do with outsiders like you. You are all innocent. Therefore, this king said that letting everyone in Ziyangchuan City be spared is not just for entering the city. Naturally, it will follow the promise and will not hurt you in the slightest."

Duanmu Rui raised his head, and happened to meet Leng Yuechen's eyes that were so deep that he seemed to have noticed everything. He was startled by the darkness deep in his eyes, clenched his fist with his left hand, and continued to remain silent without speaking.

"Duanmu Rui, I have heard of you when I fought off foreign enemies on various battlefields in the early years. At that time, you were still a brave and skilled young lieutenant general. You are a good man with blood and justice! Everyone praises you for having a benevolent heart, you only kill those who deserve to be killed, and you will never raise your sword at the old, weak, women and children. Then, what does this king think? Ask, General Duanmu, what about your righteousness and benevolence back then?! What about your rational heart to distinguish right from wrong?! Do you think that you have forgotten all about being a great general for several years?!"

Leng Yuechen's eyes were vaguely stained with anger, with a bit of anger and complexity that Duanmu Rui didn't understand...

No one knows why Leng Yuechen got angry at this time, even Lian Chengyu, who always thought he knew Leng Yuechen well, didn't expect that Leng Yuechen would be so angry.

But Leng Yuechen's words fell into Duanmu Rui's ears without saying a single word, and then beat on his heart.Duanmu Rui vaguely recalled himself when he was young...

At that time, he would run to reason because the general did not give them food, and seek justice for the soldiers who were also starving.

At that time, he would lose his temper because his once close comrade-in-arms killed a pregnant woman indiscriminately, and even reported that cruel comrade-in-arms...

At that time, he would choose to transfer to other generals because of the stubbornness and cruelty of the leading general, even if the power of the leading general was something he could not afford to provoke...

But since when did he finally fall into the ranks of those who once hated him? !
If he was still the once young and passionate boy, then he would definitely be the first to raise his hand in protest, right? !

Looking at Leng Yuechen's eyes suddenly flashing a clear light, Duanmu Rui's face flashed a touch of gratitude, he gently opened his wife's little hand holding him, and Duanmu Rui strode towards Leng Yuechen. In front of him, he took the exquisite teacup he was playing with in his hand, and said, "I just remembered that this pot of tea was brewed in the morning, and it may be completely cold now. I should make it again. Make a pot! Xiujuan, go and make another pot of tea."

"Yes, sir, I'm going right away. Please wait a moment."

The young woman nodded, responded in a low voice, turned around and left the hall where the atmosphere had calmed down a bit.

"Is the tea cold? Everyone is a man who has fought on the battlefield for so many years. Does such a small matter need to be so troublesome?! Is it the same as drinking herbal tea!"

Perhaps in order to ease the increasingly weird atmosphere at this moment, Lian Chengyu decisively picked up the cup of tea that was placed on the table in front of him, and was about to pour it into his mouth with his backhand.

"General Liancheng, you don't understand this!"

With a big stride, Duanmu Rui came in front of Lian Chengyu, snatched the cup of tea that Lian Chengyu brought to his mouth in a daze, and put it on the wooden table.

"On the battlefield, we naturally don't pay so much attention. It's just that outside of the battlefield, we have to pay attention. Drinking too much of this herbal tea will hurt your body. You'd better listen to me and don't drink it."

Duanmu Rui opened his mouth with reason and evidence, and what he said was so true that people couldn't help but believe it.

"Wow! Is it true or not?! This cup of tea can have so much knowledge?!"

Lian Chengyu still looked skeptical, and couldn't help feeling a little suspicious. Could the difference between these two countries really be so big? !Is it so big that a cup of tea makes people have to "look at it differently"? !
"That's natural. If you don't believe me, General Liancheng, as long as you stay in Ziyangchuan for a little longer, then you will understand everything..."

Duanmu Rui continued to explain, and when the young woman walked into the hall with a pot of high-quality Biluochun that had just been brewed, she happened to hear her husband explaining something eloquently. But it made others look black.

Because Duanmu Rui actually has a problem, that is, he can't lie.

Every time, as long as he lies, he will involuntarily say a lot of explanations. In fact, there are many, many loopholes in his explanations. It’s okay to fool him once. He was fooled.

It's just that this time it's a bit outrageous. This cup of tea is just a cup of tea. How can it be said that the head of the 130 six generations of the Duanmu family family tree happened to be a peddler who made a living by reselling tea? !Forget it, how come the types and functions of the Zichen country's tea are involved in the blink of an eye? !
Sir, haven't you discovered that the more you talk, the more likely you are to reveal yourself? !

Fortunately, among the two big Buddhas in front of her, one was too clever, and immediately discovered something was wrong, not to mention drinking the cup of poisoned green tea, and even saved her master's life.As for the other one, he was too clever. The master said so many flawed words, but he still didn't seem to notice or feel strange in the slightest? !

"My lord, here comes the tea."

Seeing that she had been in for a long time, and Duanmu Rui still looked ignorant, the young woman shook her head silently, and could only remind her softly.

"Oh! Look, this tea is here. Lord Leng, General Liancheng, please taste it."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Duanmu Rui turned his head and took the teapot from his wife's hand, and then sent the "cold" teacup on the table to his wife's hand, signaling her to take it out quickly with his eyes.
