Chapter 367 Captured and Used as a Handsome Husband
Chapter 367 Captured and Used as a Handsome Husband
Yelü Hanyong exuded domineering aura as he stared at the group. After they whispered among themselves, they said they would send new reinforcements.
But she squinted; she didn't trust the sent garrison at all. She trusted her brother and herself the most.
He whispered a few words to his trusted confidants, then went to his own inner palace, changed into military attire, as it had been a long time since he had ridden into battle.
Yelü Hanxuan also received news that his sister was coming, and knew that it wasn't that his sister didn't trust him, but that she couldn't suppress her own inner impulse.
"Since my elder sister is coming, I will stay in Beiyang and see what tricks they have up their sleeves."
On the other hand, Wu Ziyan had fewer and fewer beauties around her, because they couldn't hold back and all left her to find the Fourth Prince on their own.
But in the end, they all died. After all, this was war, not a time to pity beauties or respect life.
After Huang Ziliang and Chu Qiu finished dealing with their business and returned to the camp, Wu Ziyan rushed out with a smile in her eyes: "Thank you for your hard work, my lords."
Seeing her so coy and effeminate, the two of them were still a little unaccustomed to it, but since she was acting so strangely, she must have done something wrong.
"You told me to keep these beauties by my side, but they want to run away. What am I supposed to do? Now I only have two left with me."
"What about those who ran away?"
"killed."
She said those two words so casually, even with a smile. You could say she's timid, but she's decisive and ruthless; you could say she's brave, but she doesn't like seeing bloodshed.
"Miss, where are the other two?"
"Still in the tent."
“Miss, although there are good news from Qiyang and Longyang, we haven’t seen their commanders yet. I suspect their commanders may still be in Beiyang.”
"What do you mean?"
"Their commander seems to be very interested in you, Your Highness."
"Ziliang, what is the meaning of what you are saying to His Highness?" Chu Qiu seemed to have guessed Huang Ziliang's thoughts and wanted him to stop.
Huang Ziliang ignored Chu Qiu's advice: "This plan may be a bit risky and will put Miss in danger, but it can lure out their commander."
"Explain it?"
"Ziliang!"
"Chu Qiu, don't worry about me, let Zi Liang continue."
"Since he is so interested in Your Highness, why doesn't Your Highness go and offer yourself up? Don't worry, this is just a plan to lure the enemy in; it will definitely not put you in any danger."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not going to die anyway."
She thought to herself that it would only be twice as much pain, but if she could capture their commander by following Huang Ziliang's plan, then her sacrifice would be worthwhile.
"Your Highness, I am of noble birth; how can I take such a risk?"
"With the land and rivers shattered, where is the nation? What prince is there left to speak of!"
Huang Ziliang cast an admiring glance at her, proving he hadn't misjudged her. However, Chu Qiu cast a slightly angry glance at him, to which Huang Ziliang smiled slightly.
Chu Qiu was puzzled. There were countless ways to capture the opposing general, yet they chose the most dangerous one.
Fearing that Chu Qiu might misunderstand later, Huang Ziliang patted him on the shoulder again: "If we can capture their generals without bloodshed, why should we use the lives of our soldiers to pave this road?"
That's not wrong, but we can't risk Wu Ziyan's life, while she herself doesn't seem to care, since she won't die anyway.
"Then Your Highness, I will secretly accompany you and protect you."
"No." Huang Ziliang and Wu Ziyan refused at the same time, which puzzled Chu Qiu. He had already taken several steps back, and even personal protection was out of the question? She disagreed!
"The soldiers in the city still need your command. If you secretly accompany and protect me, what will you do if Bei Rong takes the opportunity to cause trouble?"
Chu Qiu's mind was completely occupied with her, except for the mountains and rivers. His primary concern was protecting her safety, and he hadn't thought about anything else at the moment.
After being told, he even felt a little ashamed. How could he let his feelings for his wife hold him back? Besides, she was a princess and he was a subject. He should obey orders.
"Your Highness, I'm still not entirely at ease. Could this plan be made even more secure?"
"Don't worry, Chu Qiu. I'm confident that Yelü Hanxuan is the kind of arrogant and intelligent person who doesn't like to fail, and I'm also confident that Ziliang is confident."
Seeing that he couldn't reach an agreement with them, Chu Qiu stopped talking, but still selected two elite soldiers to secretly protect him. However, Huang Ziliang wouldn't let him arrange them arbitrarily. The plan was to lure the enemy deep into their territory, and if it didn't look convincing, how could he believe it?
After Chu Qiu walked away, Wu Ziyan leaned close to Huang Ziliang and took out a bottle of hand cream from his pocket: "The north is dry, this will prevent your hands from getting frostbite. By the way, tell me the detailed plan."
"The plan is to let the beauties around you inadvertently learn that you are the Fourth Prince, and then have them accompany you when you go out. It would be best if they could leak the information to the other side. If the other side takes the bait, and he comes alone, you pretend to be captured."
"Huh? Captured?"
"With Wu Chengye as a cautionary tale, I believe it won't be difficult for you, Miss, to infiltrate their ranks, will it?"
"You're making me a traitor!"
"Of course not, you don't even need to enter their camp, you just need to do this, this..."
"But what if he doesn't come?"
"I will send troops to lie in ambush in secret, and I will absolutely not let Your Highness be injured."
Looking into Huang Ziliang's determined eyes, Wu Ziyan realized that he didn't treat her as a princess at all; he was only thinking about how to minimize the losses in this war and the best approach.
Moreover, he had a perfect grasp of her inner thoughts; he was certain she would agree.
"What kind of person is Yelü Hanxuan? Everyone says he's amazing, but no one has ever seen him in person. Who knows just how amazing he is?"
"You'll know when you see her, Miss. I've heard she's an absolutely stunning beauty."
I wonder what Huang Ziliang meant by the word "exquisitely beautiful" at the end. Was he wondering if she would be interested in him?
Wu Ziyan smiled and joked with Huang Ziliang, "If he's handsome, I'll capture him and make him my countless beauties!"
"That depends on whether you have the ability, Miss."
"I don't have that ability, but you do, so hurry up and expose me!"
She wasn't afraid; on the contrary, she was somewhat eager to try. All of this was overheard by Chu Qiu's confidants, who ran to Chu Qiu and told him a couple of things. Chu Qiu tightened his grip on the sword at his waist: "Have you seen the opposing general?"
"General, I have never seen him before."
He sighed inwardly, feeling a mixture of resentment and helplessness. In truth, she hadn't taken the initiative much, yet all of them had fallen for her. What would happen to them if another foreigner came along?
