Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 162 What to do (1)
"My lord, we have been standing here for nearly 20 days, which can be regarded as full of Wang Jiulang's love for you back then. Master Sima has been sending letters to urge you. If you don't withdraw, you may have a rift with Master Sima..." Xing Yuan said to Mr. Du who was above him.

"Mr. Xing Yuan, thanks to you, you still regard yourself as a scholar. As a scholar, you should care about the common people. Your retreat is equivalent to opening the door to those wolf-like barbarians. Are you worthy of the people of the Central Plains by doing this?" Sitting beside him Another young man in civilian clothes refuted aloud.

"Mr. Lingnan, is it possible that Master Sima's determination is only to harm the people of the Central Plains? Master Sima has his own deep meaning in doing so. How can you and I speculate? There is a saying that the ruler must die. In the past 20 days, I have disobeyed orders. Is Mr. Lingnan going to trap Mr. Du injustice?"

Lingnan snorted, turned his head to Master Du and said, "My lord, there is still Wang Jiulang in Zhiyang City..."

Xing Yuan interrupted him, "Joke, can he be as good as Master Sima with a yellow mouth? Can he stop ten thousand barbarians from entering the city by himself?"

"Since Mr. Xing Yuan knew that Hu people would kill people when they entered the city, why did he force Master Du to open the city gate? Besides, Wang Jiulang is a direct branch of the Langya Wang family!" Lingnan said.

"What about the Langya Wang family? Isn't it just inferior to Sima?"

"Hmph! Short-sightedness!" Ling Nan snorted coldly, "If something happened to Wang Jiulang here, Lord Sima would definitely protect him, but who will protect Lord Du? Who will protect you and me?"

Xing Yuan's face changed, but he didn't think so much, as Lingnan said, something happened to Wang Jiulang here, and they were the first ones to be pushed out.

"Okay..." Mr. Du waved his hand with some headaches, "You don't need to say too much. I have agreed with Wang Jiulang for five days, and tomorrow is the last day. Wang Jiulang is not a person who does not keep his word. Xing Yuan , you order someone to go and clean it up, and then withdraw the day after tomorrow."

Lingnan stood up and bowed to him, persuading him, "My lord, I don't think Wang Jiulang will leave Zhiyang City."

"I can't help him anymore, even if he is kidnapped, I will kidnap him!"

"My lord, I always feel that Jiulang is waiting for something, why don't we just stay and wait and see what happens." Lingnan still wanted to fight again.

"Stay? Brother Lingnan, do you want Lord Du to ignore Lord Sima's orders over and over again?"

Lingnan glanced at Xing Yuan like an idiot, and sighed at his stubbornness.Instead of arguing with him, he turned to look at Master Du.How could Mr. Du not know that by retreating, he became a sinner through the ages?However, he has his own difficulties, his son is pinched by Sima Chu, he was able to delay for nearly 20 days, which can be said to be the best of benevolence to Wang Jiulang.Up to now, his son-in-law still doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.

"There's no need to say any more, Xingyuan will do what I say..." Master Du sighed infinitely.

Lingnan closed his eyes sadly, bowed to Lord Du, and said: "Lingnan and Lord's fate is over, let's bid farewell!" As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and strode away.Xing Yuan rolled his eyes and asked: "Lingnan is so rude, do you want to..." He made a downward movement.

Lord Du shook his head dejectedly, "Mr. Lingnan is also dedicated to serving the country. This man is upright and a counselor of a generation. Let him out of the city..."

"Here."

It has been a day since Li Yun left, and Zheng Ruo always felt a little uneasy.At this time of night, she tossed and turned in the carriage unable to fall asleep, so she simply climbed out of the carriage, stood outside, looked up at the waning moon in the sky, her gaze was dim.

"Ah Ruo can't sleep?" Hearing the movement, Mu Jianqiu, who was checking the defenses, came over and stood ten steps away from her, and asked softly.

"Yeah." Zheng Ruo nodded, "I always feel a little apprehensive, as if I missed something..."

Mu Jianqiu bowed his head and muttered, "When General Li burns down the barn of the barbarians and Jiulang comes to meet him in the city, the siege of Zhiyang City will be lifted naturally. What is Ah Ruo worried about?"

"I always feel like it's not that simple..."

Looking at the waning moon in the sky, Mu Jianqiu sighed softly, "This battle is all tied to General Li. It is indeed not that simple for his five hundred soldiers to succeed in a sneak attack..."

Zheng Ruoning frowned. Li Yun was worrying about hitting more with less, but that wasn't what she was worried about. "Do you have any good men under your command who can go to the city to find out what's going on? It's best to go to the barbarian camp for a while." .”

Mu Jianqiu thought for a while and said, "There are such people."

"Then I'm going to trouble you, sir." Zheng Ruo said, imitating a scribe and bowing to him.

Mu Jianqiu clapped his hands up, "Ah Ruo, you don't need to be too polite. In the final analysis, more than 100 people like me have to listen to you."

Zheng Ruo was puzzled, "What do you mean by this, Mr.?"

Mu Jianqiu smiled and said, "Don't you know, Ah Ruo? From the moment Jiulang left Phoenix City, these hidden guards were left by Jiulang to Ah Ruo. These people will take it as their duty to protect you from now on."

Zheng Ruo's heart jumped twice, "You mean that Jiulang gave me these hidden guards?"

Mu Jianqiu nodded, "These hidden guards are dead men, unlike those sent by the clan to Jiulang, these people were trained by Jiulang himself. Their loyalty and ability are no worse than those of the clan, and even It has to be better. Jiulang only has this little family property and handed it over to Ah Ruo..." He said with a smile.Along the way, Li Yun's thoughts on Zheng Ruo were clearly seen by everyone.Although, he thinks sister-in-law is not lacking for Jiulang.However, the one who can make Jiulang worry again and again, after following him for so long, only Zheng Ruo is the only one he sees.What's more, this sister-in-law came all the way to save Jiulang without fear of misfortune, so it can be seen that she values ​​love and righteousness.Even if she can't become the head of the house, but given how much Jiulang likes her, her status in the future will definitely not be bad.Therefore, he told Zheng Ruo the secret without reservation, in fact, in order to win some impression points for Jiu Lang in her heart.

"What about Jiulang?" Zheng Ruo asked.

"Kurang stayed as a feather guard."

More than half of Wang Jiulang's hidden guards were left to her, but only ten were left by his side. In other words, in Wang Jiulang's view, her life was more important than his own.This made Zheng Ruo feel a very strange feeling in her heart. She couldn't tell what it was like, but it caused ripples in her heart, which was like a dry well.However, she sneered in her heart, even if Wang Jiulang handed over the entire Langya Wang family to her, so what?Can he make up for the harm done to her in the previous life?
