At this point, we have no choice but to bite the bullet.

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and slowly said what she said to Queen Jiang during the day. Only this time, she spoke more carefully and paid attention to the expression on Chu Yang's face at all times.

As long as he showed a displeased look, she would shut up immediately!

However, until she finished speaking, there was no expression change on Chu Yang's face. Even when she finished speaking the last word, there was a faint smile in her slender eyes.

"Is this what you said to the queen?"

"If you are ignorant, it would be a disgrace to His Majesty's holy hearing."

Chu Yang frowned slightly, as if he didn't like hearing the last sentence, but when he looked at Shang Ruyi's careful look, a faint smile still curled up at the corner of his mouth.

He said: "What you say makes sense."

Shang Ruyi suddenly raised his head to look at him and said carefully: "Your Majesty also agrees with Ruyi's opinion?"

Chu Yang turned around and walked slowly with his hands behind his back: "Actually, not only Wang Shaoji gave me advice during the day, but also several other guards had their own strategies. They all sounded reasonable to me, and I couldn't make a decision for a while.

"

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She couldn't help but think of the time when she met "Yang Suiran" outside Wanjia Fruit Restaurant in Taiyuan City. The other person also said that it was difficult to make a choice, and in the end, he chose her for himself.

Now again——

Just when her mind was drifting away, Chu Yang's whisper brought her back again: "It's just that there is a danger of sticking to it if you choose to stick to it."

"Your Majesty means——"

"Forage, the food and grass in the city is no longer enough for the entire army for two days."

"If Your Majesty really chooses to stick to it, then a large number of soldiers will not have to leave the city. The injured and thin horses in the army can be killed and eaten."

Chu Yang looked back at her in surprise.

Shang Ruyi knew that no woman would come to the emperor and say such vulgar words as "kill and eat meat", but at this time, she simply gave up. Her eyes were serious and showed a sense of defiance: "We must hold on.

You have to be prepared to stick to it.”

Seeing her like this, Chu Yang's eyes also lit up.

These words were something that the generals did not dare to say in front of him easily. But when Shang Ruyi said it, he suddenly understood. He asked again: "But if the army and horses are eaten, there will be no possibility of breaking out. Who can

Guarantee, can we keep it forever?"

Shang Ruyi said: "Your Majesty, we have been besieged for three days."

"so what?"

"This matter must have spread. If the guards in nearby towns in Yanmen County get the news, they will definitely come to King Qin to protect him."

"..."

"We want to preserve our fighting strength, just wait until they come, and then cooperate internally and externally, and the Turkic soldiers will be defeated!"

Chu Yang frowned slightly: "Is it so easy?"

Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said: "Zhali Khan led more than 100,000 troops to make a surprise attack this time. If Ruyi guessed correctly, they probably would not have had time to make adequate preparations."

"How do you know they just got the news?"

"First of all, we have broken off diplomatic relations for a long time. It is impossible for them to know in advance that His Majesty is going to patrol the north and prepare for it; secondly, when I followed the emperor to the camp a few days ago, Ruyi saw a few figures on the road.

I thought I saw it wrong, but now I think about it, they must be the people sent by the Turkic soldiers to spy on the news. They must have just learned that His Majesty was going to patrol the northern Xinjiang on that day."

"..."

"From the time they discovered us to the time they raided the camp, it took less than three days. The dispatch of 100,000 troops was already the limit; and now it's winter, and there is a shortage of food and grass on the grassland. It is even more impossible for the 100,000 troops to have food and grass in such a short period of time.

Everything will be mobilized within time.”

"..."

"So, food and grass are not only our problem, but also their problem."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang's eyes brightened a bit.

Shang Ruyi continued: "Ruyi heard from the people below that they just attacked Yanmen City last night and continued to attack the city for four hours today. Obviously, they are also very anxious."

"..."

"So, the more this happens, the more we should hold on to it."

"..."

"When they run out of food and fodder and have to retreat, our reinforcements will also arrive. Isn't it the right time and the right place for both people and people?"

Chu Yang didn't speak, he just stood in front of her with his hands behind his back. Shang Ruyi looked at his back, not knowing how much he had listened to what he just said, and she was also nervously waiting for his response.

After a long while, I heard Chu Yang say: "You have mentioned several aspects, but it seems that one is missing."

Shang Ruyi said: "Which side?"

Chu Yang slowly turned around and looked down at her: "You should still remember that my troops were divided into two teams during this patrol. Behind us, there was another group of people - your husband, right there.

.”

"..."

"You seem to have no hope that he will come."

Shang Ruyi felt a stab in her heart, but she took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible: "It's naturally good for him to come."

Chu Yang looked into her eyes: "Will he come?"

"...His Majesty is under siege here. As a subject of His Majesty, he should come to King Qin to protect him."

"What I'm saying is, will he come for you?"

"With Your Majesty here, it is not your turn to put your wishes first."

Chu Yang looked down at her for a long time, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became a little deeper, and said: "Shang Ruyi, you seem to be unwilling to mention him, let alone face your position in his heart."

Shang Ruyi's heart sank hard.

She bit her lower lip and said as calmly as possible: "Ruyi is his wife, and her status in his heart does not need to be faced or confirmed."

Chu Yang said: "Then do you know what the last words I said to you when I stopped your wedding party meant?"

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's heart, which was already about to fall into the ice cave, suddenly jumped again at this moment, causing a faint pain in her chest.

She subconsciously raised her head to look at Chu Yang, and met those eyes with a smile and many emotions that she couldn't distinguish. She hesitated for a long time and then said slowly: "Remember, His Majesty said that for a woman

, and become enemies with him.”

"Do you know who this woman is?"

"I know, it's——Your Highness the Princess."

Chu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly.

Judging from his expression, he didn't seem surprised, but he seemed to--

Shang Ruyi still couldn't understand his expression, so he said honestly: "If Ruyi guessed correctly, Your Majesty should have discussed the marriage between His Highness the Princess and Feng Chen before, right?"

"..."

"But because of Ruyi's appearance—"

"..."

"All of this is Ruyi's fault."

Chu Yang looked at her quietly, with no emotion or anger on his face. Even the faint smile in his phoenix eyes slowly faded away at this moment, but he didn't know what was hidden in the deeper pupils.

What kind of emotions.

After a long silence, he said: "Of course it's your fault."

"..."

"Otherwise, who would enmity with him?"

"...!?"
