Who put the yellow robe on me?

Chapter 144 Beiqiang Plan

"Mengmeng, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Chen looked at the crying Yelu Mengmeng and asked hurriedly.

A trace of bitterness appeared on Yelu Mengmeng's face, and a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes: "How great it would be if you were not the prince of Daliang."

Jiang Chen was stunned, feeling uneasy: "Why do you say that?"

Yelu Mengmeng's eyes became deep, as if she was lost in endless thoughts.

She looked up at Jiang Chen, her eyes a little hazy. "You can lead troops in battle, and you can also solve those three puzzles that no one in Northern Qiang has ever solved. You have shown me courage and wisdom that I have never experienced before, and..."

Her voice gradually lowered, with a hint of shyness that was hard to conceal, "And you... you were so powerful just now... If you weren't the prince of Daliang, I could have kept you locked up in my deep palace forever."

When Jiang Chen heard this, he couldn't help but reveal an awkward smile on his face, but he felt a warmth in his heart.

He looked at Yelu Mengmeng in front of him. Although she had acted so strong just now, she now seemed so fragile, like a deer that had lost its way.

Yelu Mengmeng suddenly took a step forward and threw herself into Jiang Chen's arms. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes, soaking Jiang Chen's clothes. She cried bitterly in his arms, her voice filled with grievance, unwillingness, and deep helplessness.

Outside the tent, Yelu Pei'er, who had just left, heard the noise coming from inside the tent and couldn't help but stop.

She frowned slightly, looked back worriedly, and finally decided to return to the tent.

She gently lifted the curtain and was about to speak, but she saw the scene in front of her: Yelu Mengmeng was lying in Jiang Chen's arms, crying bitterly, looking particularly weak.

Yelu Pei'er was stunned for a moment, with obvious embarrassment on her face.

Jiang Chen sensed someone coming in, turned around and saw Yelu Pei'er, so he waved at her, signaling her to leave. Yelu Pei'er nodded and quietly retreated, not daring to disturb their private moment.

Inside the tent, the atmosphere became even quieter. Jiang Chen gently patted Yelu Mengmeng's back, trying to comfort her. But at this moment, Yelu Mengmeng suddenly raised her head, a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes, and she bit Jiang Chen's shoulder fiercely.

Jiang Chen only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and couldn't help but gasp, but he forced himself not to scream.

Yelu Mengmeng opened her mouth, looked at Jiang Chen with tearful eyes, and asked softly, "If you leave, will you come to see me again?"

Jiang Chen was stunned by her question. He looked at her eyes, which were glistening with tears, and his heart was inexplicably touched. He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, saying softly, "Silly girl, of course I will! I am not your third prince consort."

Yelu Mengmeng's lips curled up slightly when she heard his words. The tears on her face were still wet, but a smile appeared in her eyes. She nodded gently, and her voice was a little coquettish: "You are really good at coaxing people with your mouth."

Seeing her smile, Jiang Chen felt relieved and said with a smile, "Ms. Mengmeng's tears are priceless. If I can make you happy, I'll be blessed."

Yelu Mengmeng's smile grew brighter. She looked at Jiang Chen and said blankly, "Five days later, General Tuoba will lead 100,000 Black Wolf Cavalry to the vicinity of Liangzhou City. I will then secretly send you to Liangzhou City."

When Jiang Chen heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he asked doubtfully: "What are you doing in Liangzhou City?"

Yelu Mengmeng sighed softly, her eyes slightly complicated: "After I went back last time, my father didn't say anything, but my eldest sister scolded me a lot.

She said that I, the Third Princess of Northern Qiang, had lost three cities and nearly my life during a single trip. Now, I was forced to stay in the camp while she led the troops herself.

Jiang Chen's heartbeat began to quicken, and an ominous premonition came over him: "Are you going to attack Liangzhou City?"

Yelu Mengmeng gave a helpless smile. "That's not entirely true. Although she said she wanted to guard against the Western Regions, it's clear that she doesn't care about the fragile peace with Daliang. General Tuoba secretly told me that she doesn't care about establishing a good relationship with Daliang.

This time, the Northern Qiang's 100,000 Black Wolf Cavalry will decide which of Daliang and the Western Regions will be defeated. If the Western Regions are defeated, they will join Daliang in annihilating the Western Regions; if Daliang is weaker, they will ally with the Western Regions to capture Liangzhou City."

Jiang Chen's scalp tingled and his heart was in turmoil. He couldn't help but shout, "How could you..."

Yelu Mengmeng interrupted him, her eyes filled with helplessness. "I was also worried that you would suffer, so I went ahead of you this time, thinking of sending you a message. I didn't expect to run into you on the way."

Jiang Chen's heart was in turmoil, and he asked anxiously, "Mengmeng, is there no other way?"

Yelu Mengmeng shook his head slightly, a trace of sadness in his eyes. "Jiang Lang, the only way to save your Liangzhou City now is to defeat the Western Regions with all your might! Only then will the Northern Qiang stop attacking you."

Jiang Chen's mind was racing. He knew that Yelu Mengmeng was right, but his heart was still filled with worry and uneasiness.

He said in a deep voice, "It's better to be safe than sorry! If you, the Northern Qiang, decide to attack us, we simply don't have enough strength to fight both the Western Regions and the Northern Qiang at the same time."

Yelu Mengmeng's eyes were deep and firm. She whispered to him in a soothing voice, "No matter what, you must withstand the offensive from the Western Regions. Only then will there be a chance of saving Liangzhou City."

Jiang Chen nodded. He knew that he had no choice now and had to do his best.

"Jiang Lang," Yelu Mengmeng gently held his hand, a hint of pleading in her voice, "Promise me that no matter how far you go, you must first keep yourself alive!"

Jiang Chen felt the warmth of her palm, and a wave of tenderness surged in his heart. He nodded solemnly: "Well, I promise you. Only when you are alive can there be hope. If I die, there will be nothing."

Yelu Mengmeng's eyes softened. She looked at Jiang Chen and suddenly couldn't help but pounce on him and hugged him tightly.

Her lips touched Jiang Chen's lightly, with a hint of coolness, yet incomparably hot. She kissed him hard, as if to put all her emotions into this kiss.

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, but quickly responded to her enthusiasm. The two hugged each other tightly, enjoying the sweetness and warmth of this moment. Under the shadow of war, this moment seemed particularly precious.

The armor I just put on seems so redundant...

The wind gradually picked up outside the tent, and the sound of the wind outside the tent combined with the heavy breathing inside the tent, forming a complex symphony...
