Chapter 409: Attacking the Capital (2)
Chapter 409: Attacking the Capital (2)
Murong Peng: “…” He only knew that he couldn’t speak anymore at this time.
If he said it, he would be scolded even more severely.
Seeing this, Yao Fengjiao felt even more disappointed.
"Master, they should arrive in the capital in another two hours." Yao Er reminded softly after a long time.
"Send all the troops out of the city gate!"
"Yes, Master!"
After saying that, Yao Er quickly turned around and left.
In his opinion, going out and facing Murong Chen would be better than staying in the military tent.
After Yao Er left, Yao Fengjiao turned to look at Murong Peng.
Meeting Yao Fengjiao's gaze, Murong Peng was at a loss for a moment.
Thinking that she was going to scold him again, he stammered, "Mother...Mother..."
"What's going on with Lan Qiuyan?"
"What...what's happening?" Murong Peng asked in confusion.
Seeing that her son still didn't react at this time, Yao Fengjiao became even more troubled.
"Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, I'm talking about Pingyuan Marquis Mansion!"
Hearing this, Murong Peng reacted immediately and said quickly:
"I asked the Queen before, and she also said that the Pingyuan Marquisate did not take sides. She also did not say which side she would support!"
"Stupid, did you believe what she said?"
"Mother, please don't be angry. I don't believe it, but she also told me that she is already a daughter who has married out. Although she is the queen, she cannot interfere in her mother's family affairs at will."
"Also, she also said that the affairs of Pingyuan Marquis Mansion have always been the responsibility of her father and her eldest brother, and she herself is not clear...about it."
The further he spoke, the quieter Murong Peng's voice became.
The less confident you are.
Because he saw that Yao Fengjiao's face was becoming increasingly gloomy, and he was afraid that she would attack him if she continued talking.
"Go back to the palace right now and order someone to invite Pingyuan Hou Lan Jingyu here. Go quickly!"
"what?"
"Go!" Yao Fengjiao roared.

At the same time, in the study of Pingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Lan Jingyu was also surprised when he saw that it was a black cat that came to deliver the letter.
Just thinking of Murong Chen, Lan Jingyu's expression became relieved again.
"That's right. With the ability of the War King, it's not impossible to train a cat that understands human nature. Even so, how can Murong Peng compare with others?"
"Father, please take a look at what this letter says?" Lan Qiuzhi said, looking at the letter in his hand.
Hearing this, Lan Jingyu quickly opened the letter in his hand.
It was only when I saw the contents inside that I felt relieved.
Then he handed the letter to Lan Qiuzhi and said, "Go and arrange it quickly, it will be too late soon."
"Father, where is my sister?" Lan Qiuzhi asked hurriedly.
At the same time, after reading the letter in his hand, he carefully burned it into ashes.
"I will go to the palace to pick her up later." Lan Jingyu said in a deep voice.
"Okay, father, remember to be careful!"
After seeing Lan Jingyu nod, Lan Qiuzhi walked out of the study with peace of mind.
Of course, he had nothing to worry about his father going to pick up his sister.
The whole capital is in chaos now. It is normal for a father to worry about his daughter.
Most importantly, the palace is not safe now.
His Pingyuan Marquis Mansion is actually safer.
Of course, he would not send troops for the time being. If he did, his sister might be in danger.
----------------------------------------------------------
In the palace.
As soon as Lan Jingyu entered the palace, he saw Lan Qiuyan rushing towards him.
"Father? Are you here to see me?" Lan Qiuyan became visibly excited when she saw Lan Jingyu.
She was just about to go find her father.
She couldn't find a better excuse at the moment, so she could only come out when Murong Peng and Yao Fengjiao were not around.
Otherwise, everything is really hard to say during this sensitive period.
But now it’s different, now my father is here.
"Let's go. It's not safe here anymore. Let's go back to the mansion with father."
"Um......"
"Queen, my dear ministers, where are you going?" Murong Peng came in from the door and asked.
Hearing Murong Peng's words, the father and daughter were stunned.
However, Lan Jingyu reacted quickly and asked Murong Peng directly:
"Your Majesty, the situation is chaotic right now, it would be more dangerous for Qiuyan to stay here..."
"My dear, I don't mean to blame you for taking Qiuyan away. I will come back to find her. I'm sure you know what happened, right?"
"Your Majesty, I still say the same thing!" Lan Jingyu said respectfully with his head down.
As for what those words were, he didn't say, but he believed that Murong Peng knew it very well.
Moreover, he had said such things many times before, and he believed that he understood.
Of course Murong Peng understood, he came here today just because of what he said.
In his opinion, the Pingyuan Marquisate may not help him, but it absolutely cannot help Murong Chen.
If he didn't help Murong Chen, their chances of winning would still be very high.
But if we help, the consequences will be disastrous.
The Queen Mother meant that if they wanted to help, they had to capture Lan Qiuyan.
Given how much Lan Jingyu loved his only daughter, Lan Qiuyan, how could he possibly watch her die in front of him?
"Lord Lan, are you sure you won't support Murong Chen?" Murong Peng asked again.
When asked this question, Lan Jingyu froze for a moment.
This was the first time Murong Peng asked himself such a serious question.
He had always known that Murong Peng had feelings for his daughter, and he also knew that his daughter did not take him seriously.
But he understands that it is better to find someone who loves him than to find someone he loves. At least life will not be so tiring.
So at the beginning, he did not object to Murong Peng wanting to marry his daughter.
He had only one request, which was to let his daughter sit on the throne of queen.
Only the queen is the mother of a country.
Only then can she control everything in the harem at any time. In addition, she has the power of Pingyuan Marquis Mansion behind her. Who else in the capital can touch her?
I just didn't expect that after so many years, my daughter is still obsessed with that incident.
Now it seems that this is all fate.
