Chapter 223
"What terms do you want to talk about?" Ye Wenxuan frowned, feeling even more vigilant in his heart.
The other party first threatened him that Ye Zhaoyan would be tortured, but when he came alone, he immediately changed his tone.
"Since General Ye is a military commander, he must know what it means to seize the land of Hexi." Chu Li's eyes darkened: "This son hopes that the general will help take back half of the land of Hexi that belongs to us in Beiliang. Safe and sound."
Hearing this, Ye Zhengping narrowed his eyes slightly: "You want me to betray my country and seek refuge in Beiliang?"
"General Ye misunderstood." Chu Li shook his head, "I just need the general to give up some benefits at the right time, pretend to be invincible, and secretly assist me in Beiliang to capture the Hebei County area."
"After Beiliang took Hebei County, this son promised to give the Ye family glory and wealth in the future. General Ye is a general, and he must know the truth about wealth and wealth. As long as General Ye is willing to work for me this time, Ronghua Wealth can be obtained at your fingertips, so wouldn't it be better than spending your whole life in Jindu working hard for the Emperor Donglin?"
Ye Wenxuan stared at Chu Li for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "If I agree, can the prince release my granddaughter immediately."
"General Ye is difficult for others. The reason why the Beiliang royal family detains Miss Ye is to ensure that the general will keep her promise. How can she let her go so easily? Anyway, Miss Ye's life is safe for the time being. As long as General Ye is willing to cooperate, I will let you go." Liang will definitely keep his promise," Chu Li said forcefully.
General Ye sighed and said: "I only have one daughter and one granddaughter left. If there is any mistake in Zhao Yan, what is the use of all the glory and wealth coming? After a few years, it will only be a pile of loess!"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows: "It seems that General Ye is toasting and not eating fine wine!"
Ye Wenxuan's eyes were sharp, "Your Majesty, why don't you let me meet Zhaoyan, and then we can discuss this matter!"
Unable to meet Ye Zhaoyan with his own eyes, he was always uneasy.
With his many years of keen intuition, the more the opponent conceals, the more flaws will appear.
Chu Li's palms were already sweating. He pretended to be calm and showed regret: "Since the general is not sincere, we have nothing to talk about! Then Miss Ye can only be rescued later!"
Looking at the avoiding eyes of the other party, Marven Ye became more sure of what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty insists on forcing me to do something that violates loyalty and humiliates the country, but even refuses to let me meet Zhao Yan in person. I'm afraid it's very strange!"
After finishing speaking, Ye Wenxuan drew out his sword suddenly, and shouted sharply: "Don't try to deceive me!"
Almost at the same moment, the envoy hiding in the corner of the hall gave an order, and several warriors from Beiliang rushed out to stop Chu Li, and drew out their swords to block Ye Wenxuan's sword.
"General Ye! Don't forget, this is the imperial palace of Beiliang. If you kill the prince of Beiliang, it will be a crime of punishing the nine clans!" the envoy sternly shouted.
Ye Wenxuan sneered and said, "How can the Beiliang royal family punish the nine clans of our Tianlu subjects? You villains from Beiliang, if you dare to hurt Zhaoyan, I will fight you to the death if you go all out!"
"General Ye, don't forget that your Ye family has been loyal and good for generations, and the ancestors of all generations have sworn to be loyal to His Majesty! If you kill me and hurt the peace between the two countries, His Majesty will definitely hold you accountable!"
"What the son wants me to do is really hurt the friendship between the two countries. If your majesty can discern the reason, you will only hate my knife for not being fast enough!"
Marven Ye suddenly raised his sword, aimed at the envoy's heart and stabbed it hard!
Blood splattered, the envoy fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, and the rest of the people immediately fought back after being stunned, and the scene was in chaos.
Anger welled up in Chu Li's eyes. He wished he could kill this stubborn old general, but he couldn't bear his ability and military power, so he sternly shouted: "Come on! Capture General Ye quickly!"
"Yes!" A group of guards rushed up one after another, fighting with Marven Ye.
This group of people are all high-level guards with superb martial arts skills, and they quickly controlled the scene.
Ye Wenxuan was drenched in blood, and laughed loudly: "It turns out that the son did not capture Zhaoyan at all! Instead, he used an excuse to seduce Ye Mou. Ye Mou really lived for nothing for so many years, and he was fooled by a moment of nervousness! However, if you want to lure the old man to Beiliang takes Hexi, it's a dream!"
After finishing speaking, he reached into his pocket and took out a broken Ye family military order, "I have handed over the military power of the Ye family army to the dog. The situation is compelling, and I would rather die than surrender!"
Chu Li watched helplessly as Ye Wenxuan crushed the already broken Ye family's military order to the ground, angrily kicked the table next to him to vent his anger, and finally ordered: "Escort General Ye!"
Ye Wenxuan's words and deeds were too presumptuous, completely beyond Chu Li's expectations, and Chu Li decided to report it to his concubine and ministers as soon as possible.
After hearing the news, Huyan Luhe rushed to the dungeon, staring at the majestic veteran, lost in thought.
After a while, his eyes were fixed on the blood-stained battle robe, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and he quickly invited someone over.
At the same time, Ye Zhaoyan at the foot of the cliff woke up faintly, and saw that the sky was already pale. Regardless of the severe pain all over her body, she got up and ran towards the northwest.
She quickly met He Yu who was looking for her along the way, and the two galloped towards Ye Zhengping's team on fast horses.
But Zhuo Mingxuan, who was supposed to go together in the team, was not among them. He followed the traces and found the house where Princess Yingxin stayed.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to send someone to send the letter.
"I can only help you here."
The carrier pigeon soared above the pitch-black sky, heading in the direction it came from.
An hour later, Ye Zhaoyan arrived at the Wuwu Gate. Ye Zhengping was guarding under the city wall with two thousand elite soldiers, looking ready to fight.
Ye Zhengping saw her from a distance, and ran over excitedly: "Zhaoyan! You have appeared, I was so worried, I thought..."
When he was talking, he saw her disheveled clothes and disheveled hair, and worried: "How did you make it look like this?"
Ye Zhaoyan raised his hand to wipe off the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, his face was full of exhaustion, he panted and shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
"It's good that you're fine." Ye Zhengping's serious face finally relaxed two points, "Zhaoyan, the general has entered the palace, and there is no news so far. I'm afraid..."
Ye Zhengping hesitated to speak, his eyes gleamed with forbearance and indignation, he had obviously sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly told Ye Zhaoyan everything that happened just now.
After hearing this, Ye Zhaoyan's face was as pale as paper.
"Don't worry, he is Tianlu's top general after all, and his life should not be in danger!" Ye Zhengping said in a deep voice.
At this moment, the gate of the city slowly opened, and the Beiliang army came out in a neat line.
Ye Zhaoyan looked up, and there was a familiar figure in the army of Beiliang. Although he was dressed in foreign clothes, she still recognized it as Chu Li at a glance.
