"This is probably the most careful An Qing has ever done in protecting us."
An Ning nodded with a wry smile. Yes, seriously speaking, when she was imprisoned in the palace, there were not so many people "protecting" them.
h So... "Brother Ye Cheng, how are you talking to them?"
h "The competition will officially start in two days. If we lose, we will surrender to An Qing."
h "But if they win, they won't be able to use the Soul Dispersion anymore, and they won't be able to stop the people from immigrating to the territory we control."
Hearing this, An Ning was not surprised. After all, An Qing thought she had won.
Hence, she would agree to whatever Ye Cheng proposed. Anyway, in An Qing's mind, everything was a blank check that would never be cashed.
"Let's not talk about it anymore. There is a banquet tonight. An Ning, will you go?"
An Ning shook her head. She hated it from the bottom of her heart at a cocktail party that was full of hypocrisy like the one last night.
If possible, she would never want to go to such a banquet in her life, and she would never hold such a banquet in her life.
She is a practical person and hates such vain things!
"Okay, then tonight, I will go and deal with it."
At this moment, An Xin walked in, "Brother-in-law, something happened."
"What happened?"
"The Puppet Zhou sent troops from Runzhou to attack Liangzhou. Currently, a hundred thousand troops have gathered at Heguan, the southern border of Liangzhou."
"General Yu, who is in charge of defense, please give me orders to make a decision."
Ye Cheng sneered, "To cause friction and take advantage is really An Qing's method..."
Move the troops defending Wuwei over and have a good fight with them. Remember, the main point of our battle is to encircle the point for reinforcements." Ye Cheng, "Brother-in-law, I must remind you that according to the current situation, we are the ones who are surrounded and attacked for reinforcements." …Blocked all the waterways and land routes near Heguan.”
That night, everything at the Fangcheng Prefecture was the same as yesterday, except that there were more senior officials from An Qing and Fang present today.
Basically, everyone who could come had come. After a while, Xiao Tian took the initiative to find Ye Cheng.
"Ye Guogong, you and I have met our opponents in chess. It looks like there will be peace now, and the war cannot be fought. I offer you a glass of wine."
"The unhappiness in the past is all in the wine."
Ye Cheng smiled slightly, picked up a glass of wine, and drank it down in one gulp. Yes, there is another very important condition for this competition.
In her second reply, An Qing mentioned that regardless of the outcome of the competition, both sides would temporarily cease fighting.
Considering An Qing’s poor reputation, Ye Cheng agreed to this condition, and therefore, Xiao Tiantian would say this.
However, no one knows what is going on, "General Xiao, to be honest, when I first met you, I didn't think you were a person."
In Ye Cheng's eyes, Xiao Tian is useless, and his cultivation is also terrible, but to be honest, after fighting until now, Ye Cheng really didn't expect that Xiao Tian would cause him so much trouble.
Hence, Ye Cheng now looks up to Xiao Tian.
"But now I know that you are indeed a person, and I give you this cup."
"The Duke was joking. Compared with you, I am like a candle competing with the sun and the moon. Speaking of which, to this day, I still don't understand why you rebelled."
"If you really wanted to rebel, wouldn't it be better to just kill His Majesty instead of handing over the military power in the palace?"
Ye Cheng took another glass of wine and drank it down again, "It's simple, because in the past, I really didn't want to rebel."
"At that time, I didn't expect An Qing to be able to Such stupidity, forced conscription, and evil practices have caused civil uprisings in the Great Zhou Dynasty. "You said, if you were in my position..."
At this point, Ye Cheng stopped, because Xiao Tian is now in the position he once was, "Well, you are in my position now."
"Besides, I have already learned about your character. The meat and wine in front of your house stinks, and there are frozen bones on the roadside."
Xiao Tian chuckled lightly, "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. What's more, the people are in dire straits. It's not my responsibility, right? My duty is to guard the Demon Locking Tower."
"Yes, have you defended it? If you could really defend it, would An Qing have gone out of her way to threaten me?" Don't you want to leave the tower at this time?"
"Xiao Tian was even more ashamed. At this time, another voice sounded, "The Duke's words are serious. As far as I know, General Xiao has tried his best."
"General Xiao was seriously injured in the first battle with the demon clan."
"It's not that the general didn't work hard, but that the demon clan was too powerful."
Ye Cheng looked at the person who said this, it was none other than Wenren Muyuan, "Immortal, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight first."
"General Ye, let me ask you, when you entered the Demon Locking Tower, did you know whether you had the ability to fight those monsters?"
"No. , but I made up my mind at that time and told your majesty that if the monster still comes out after I go in, please ask your majesty to ask someone else. General Xiao... If I remember correctly, his official position is still the general of the country, right? "
Wenren Muyuan also shut up. He had to admit the fact that Ye Cheng was right.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. After all, today's cocktail party is here to have fun, not to stir up trouble. What do you think? General Xiao?"
Xiao Tian laughed dryly and ended the topic, "Ye Guogong, are you...confident in the game the day after tomorrow?"
Xiao Tian already knew that in the first game the day after tomorrow, Dayan's player would be Ye Cheng.
He was asking questions knowingly, and by the way, he wanted to test the details of Ye Cheng's side and confirm whether Ye Cheng was really confident of winning the two games in which he and An Ning played.
"Yes, why not? But you, do you have it?"
Xiao Tian smiled, "Dong Guo, isn't this asking the question knowingly? In the entire Zhou Dynasty, can you find anyone who can beat you?"
This is true, no one is his opponent in Ye Cheng.
"Tell that cold girl to use force to make friends, so that she doesn't have to care too much about winning or losing."
"Oh? If you say that, are you not afraid that His Highness An Ning will be jealous of you?"
h "What am I afraid of?"
Ye Cheng asked with a smile.
As soon as Ye Cheng said these words, Xiao Tian was speechless. He could only laugh twice and pick up the wine glass to cover up his embarrassment.
But Wenren Muyuan glanced at him thoughtfully, seeming to hear a deeper meaning from this sentence.
"It seems that you and Princess An Ning, Duke Ye, are deeply in love as husband and wife? You care so much about a woman you have known for only a few days, and she doesn't make a fuss?"
Ye Cheng smiled and shook his head, "Real love is about supporting and trusting each other, rather than overemphasizing the sovereignty of one party, isn't it?"
"What the Duke said makes sense. I don't like those things that overemphasize the power of a certain group. Cheers."
"Cheers."
