Xi Lie patted Qi La. Hong Ye's shoulder comfortingly.

Qi La. Hong Ye smiled back.

Shangguan Yu still ignored Xi Ling'er, but looked at Qi La. Hong Ye with sympathetic eyes, but he didn't appreciate it at all, and instead received a fierce glare.

He stroked his chin wordlessly and said, "I would like to keep the second prince and the ninth princess here to play for a few days. I also ask the general to go back and tell the king of the Western Regions."

Play? This is house arrest in disguise!

Although Qi La. Hong Ye was angry, this was someone else's territory, and it was useless to say more, "What conditions does the prince have?"

"Let the King of the Western Regions personally write a letter of surrender, agree that the two countries will not have war for a hundred years, and cut off three cities in exchange for your prince and princess." Shangguan Yu said the conditions he had already thought of.

A hundred years without war?

Three cities?

Not only Qi La Hong Ye, but also everyone in the tent was confused, "Why is the prince so sure that the king will agree to this condition? And why not directly attack the Western Region Kingdom?"

Shangguan Yu smiled slightly and said, "His favorite son and daughter are in my hands. Would he disagree? As far as I know, the King of the Western Regions only has four sons and five daughters. The eldest prince died young.

, the third prince spends his days drinking and doing nothing. The fifth prince is still too young. If he ascends the throne, he will definitely cause trouble in the harem.

Interfering in politics, so the next monarch of the Western Region Kingdom can only be the second prince. Does he want to lose two children? Or a successor?" After a pause, he continued, "We, Long Yue, have the ability to capture the Western Region Kingdom.

It's just a matter of time. However, doing so will only waste people and money, and it will be the people who suffer."

"Your Majesty, you really know a lot about the secrets of the royal family in the Western Regions?" Xi Lie sneered.

"If you don't know the enemy's weaknesses, how can you defeat the enemy!" Shangguan Yu responded calmly, then looked at Mu Qiujin aside and said, "Send the general back!"

"Yes." Mu Qiujin responded respectfully and made an invitation gesture to Qi La. Hong Ye, "General, let's go!"

Qi La. Hong Ye glanced at Xi Ling'er, saluted Xi Lie, and said, "Second prince and princess, don't worry, I will definitely let the king come to pick you up as soon as possible."

Xi Lie nodded, Xi Ling'er did not say a word, still facing Qi La. Hong Ye.

Qi La. Hong Ye left with a sad expression.

The heavy rain lasted for half a month. On the third day after Qila Hongye left, the King of the Western Regions sent someone to bring Xi Lie and Xi Ling'er back with a letter of surrender and plans for the three cities.

Xi Ling'er still didn't get Shangguan Yu's answer in the end, but she figured it out later. Because she didn't care, there was no reason.

Mu Qiuxue's body fully recovered on the second day after they left. She used the ointment she developed to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and there were no traces of the slap on her back at all.

After the war ended, the news of Long Yue's victory was spread among the people of Fancheng one by one, and the soldiers vividly described the events on the battlefield.

On the street, people were jumping and laughing happily.

However, Shangguan Yu and others were not happy at all.

Because of the rain, Shangguan Yu and Mu Qiujin each wrote a memorial and sent it back to the capital, while they were still resting at the city lord's mansion in Fancheng.

But for half a month, there was no news from the capital, which made Shangguan Yu and others very confused.

"Qiu Jin, do you think something happened in the capital? It's been half a month, why hasn't your father sent a message?" Shangguan Yu frowned slightly and tapped the table with his fingers from time to time.

Mu Qiujin shook his head, "I didn't get a response to my memorial. Did something really happen? But the Lord of the City said he didn't get any news?"

"Could it be that someone blocked the news?" Shangguan Yu guessed.

Mu Qiuxue sat aside quietly for a while before asking, "Could it be Shangguan Chen?"

"You mean, he took action?" Shangguan Yu stood up excitedly and walked outside the lobby, "Is the capital already under control now? Then the emperor, the queen, the emperor, grandma, eldest brother, wouldn't...?

"

Mu Qiuxue stepped forward, patted his shoulder comfortingly, and said softly, "I'm just guessing that even if this is really the case, your father, mother, and grandma will be fine. He doesn't dare

Whatever you do, as for His Royal Highness, you don’t have to worry."

"My eldest brother has been bedridden all year round and has just recovered. How can I not be worried?" Shangguan Yu said coldly.

Mu Qiuxue was stunned for a moment, wondering if she should tell him that His Highness the Crown Prince was her master, Old Man Wuying. Forget it, let's not tell him. He was his brother. He told him the reason in person.

Seeing that Mu Qiuxue didn't speak, thinking she was frightened by her tone, Shangguan Yu calmed down and said comfortingly, "Don't be angry, I didn't mean to speak loudly to you."

Mu Qiuxue smiled lightly and shook her head. She understood his mood because they were his relatives.

However, in the master's heart, is he a relative? A brother? Or an enemy competing with him for the throne?

No, it won't happen. The master is the prince, who will be the emperor in the future. Shangguan Yu has no rights to compete with him, so the master will not treat him like this.

However, if it really becomes like this in the future, whose side should she stand on?

Master? Or, Shangguan Yu?

She doesn't know and doesn't want to know.

One is her savior, and the other is the man she is attracted to!

How should she choose?

The best result is to prevent such a situation from happening, but she should not worry, because she can see that Shangguan Yu does not care about the throne. If there is a choice between the throne and family ties, he will only choose family ties.

But what about the master?

"What are you thinking about?" Shangguan Yu waved his hand in front of Mu Qiuxue's eyes.

Mu Qiuxue smiled, "It's nothing."

Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, Shangguan Yu didn't force herself, took her hand, returned to the chair and sat down.

"I have something to ask you." Mu Qiujin on the side finally couldn't help the doubts in her heart and said.

Shangguan Yu and Mu Qiuxue looked at each other and said, "Just ask!"

Mu Qiuxue knew what he was going to ask. After he came back from the battlefield, he looked at her with doubts and confusion. It should be because of Shangguan Yu's words "Xue'er"!

As expected, that was what Mu Qiujin wanted to ask.

"On the battlefield, I heard the prince call you Xue'er, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Qiuxue had already stood up and walked towards Mu Qiuxue opposite, "You guessed it right, I am Mu Qiuxue, but I am not Mu Qiuxue."
