Chapter 111 Chu Yun emerges, the princes lead their troops out of the palace
"Whether it is conspiracy or not is still a humanistic expression. I don't need to tell you who I am."
"I have spent my entire life expanding the territory of the Great Zhou and resisting foreign enemies. I have a clear conscience."
"But if I become a traitor, what will those foreigners think of me?"
Chu Yang smiled and then waved his hand, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. You should go to bed early. I'm next door. Call me if you need anything."
After saying that, he pushed the door and walked out, leaving Shangguan Wan'er alone, standing in the room, lost in thought.
Chu Yang's words kept echoing in her mind, causing her originally firm belief to begin to waver.
Yes, she knew who Chu Yang was better than anyone else.
Would he really be the kind of person who would betray the Great Zhou and the people?
"what should I do?"
"I clearly came here to seek refuge with him, but now that I see him in person, I don't know what to say."
"Hey…"
Shangguan Wan'er was filled with confusion. She didn't know whether she should believe Chu Yang or not, nor did she know what to do next.
The next morning.
Shangguan Wan'er walked out of the room with dark circles under her eyes, obviously having not slept all night.
Downstairs, Chu Yang and several of his personal soldiers had already finished breakfast and were packing their bags, preparing to set off.
Seeing Shangguan Wan'er coming down the stairs, Chu Yang greeted her with a smile.
"Miss Shangguan, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"no need."
Shangguan Wan'er replied indifferently, her eyes somewhat evasive.
"Okay, let's go."
Chu Yang didn't care and turned to speak to several personal soldiers.
The group left the inn, mounted their horses, and headed towards Luoyang City.
Shangguan Wan'er rode a horse, following behind Chu Yang, with her head lowered and not saying a word.
"What? Are you still angry?" Chu Yang suddenly asked.
"No."
Shangguan Wan'er replied in a low voice.
"That's good. By the way, Wan'er, what are your plans next?"
"I……"
Shangguan Wan'er opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.
"Why don't you come with me."
Chu Yang suddenly said, "I am in need of a military advisor as resourceful as you."
Shangguan Wan'er raised her head abruptly and looked at him in disbelief, "You want me to go with you?"
"What? You don't want to?" Chu Yang raised his eyebrows.
"I haven't thought about it yet."
"Wan'er, I know you can't completely trust me now, but I can assure you that everything I do is for the Great Zhou and for the people of the world!"
Chu Yang said sincerely, "If you are willing, stay and help me. I will prove to you that I, Chu Yang, am not a traitor!"
He looked at Shangguan Wan'er with burning eyes, waiting for her answer.
Shangguan Wan'er looked at him for a moment, and finally, she took a deep breath and slowly said, "Okay, I promise you."
Chu Yang heard this and a triumphant smile appeared on his face. "Welcome, my military advisor."
"Uh-huh."
Shangguan Wan'er nodded slightly, then followed Chu Yang into Luoyang City.
Everyone returned to the mansion.
Before he had finished packing his luggage, he heard a personal soldier coming to report.
"Your Highness, the Fifth Prince has been waiting outside the palace for a long time."
When Chu Yang heard this, an intriguing smile appeared on his face.
He didn't expect Chu Yun to come so quickly. It seemed that this trip to Luoyang City was most likely for the 100,000-strong army.
"It seems that this fifth brother still can't keep his cool."
Chu Yang thought to himself, "Well, let me meet him and see what he is up to."
After thinking for a moment, Chu Yang ordered the soldier, "Let him in."
"Yes!"
A moment later, Chu Yun, surrounded by a group of guards, strode into the mansion.
"Seventh brother, you are finally back!"
As soon as Chu Yun saw Chu Yang, he quickly stepped forward and held his hand affectionately, his face full of concern, as if they were brothers who had not seen each other for many years.
"Fifth brother, why didn't you send someone to inform me in advance so that I could send someone to greet you."
Chu Yang pulled his hand back calmly and said with a smile.
"Hey, we are all brothers, why should we be so polite?"
Chu Yun waved his hand, but his eyes intentionally or unintentionally swept over Shangguan Wan'er who was standing next to Chu Yang, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Who is this girl?" Chu Yun asked knowingly.
"Oh, this is Miss Shangguan, a new friend of mine." Chu Yang introduced indifferently.
"I am Shangguan Wan'er, and I am honored to meet His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince."
Shangguan Wan'er bowed slightly and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"It turns out to be Miss Shangguan. I have heard of you for a long time."
Chu Yun smiled and nodded, but was secretly surprised in his heart. When did this seventh brother know Shangguan Wan'er? Even he, her brother, didn't know about it.
Could it be that the entire Shangguan family in the capital has defected to Chu Yang?
"Fifth brother, what's the important matter that brought you here today?"
Chu Yang didn't want to exchange too much pleasantries with him, so he got straight to the point.
"Hey, what else can it be?"
Chu Yun sighed, a look of worry on his face.
At this point, he deliberately lowered his voice, leaned close to Chu Yang's ear, and whispered: "Now you and I are the target of public criticism, and I heard that my father has sent troops to capture you."
When Chu Yang heard this, there was no trace of panic on his face, he just smiled faintly.
"Fifth brother, you worry too much. Since I dare not go back, I am sure I can protect myself."
"Seventh brother, you..."
Seeing him so confident, Chu Yun couldn't help but feel anxious, "You are still too young, you don't understand the viciousness of those old guys."
"Fifth brother, I appreciate your kindness."
Chu Yang interrupted him, his tone revealing a hint of unquestionable majesty, "However, I have made up my mind, so you don't have to persuade me anymore."
Seeing his firm attitude, Chu Yun knew that it was futile to continue talking, so he could only sigh and say no more.
"By the way, does the emperor know that Fifth Brother is leaving the palace this time?"
"Uh."
Chu Yun's face froze when he heard this, and he stammered, "I sneaked out this time."
"You sneaked out? Fifth brother, you are so brave. Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the emperor?"
"Seventh brother, please stop making fun of me. I'm just worried about you, so I came out to see you."
"Okay, I appreciate Fifth Brother's kindness."
Chu Yang patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
"But……"
Chu Yun wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chu Yang.
"Fifth brother, it's getting late. You've been traveling so long, you should go and rest first."
Chu Yang said, and then ordered the guard beside him, "Come, take the fifth prince to the guest room to rest."
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, several personal soldiers took the fifth prince and were about to leave.
But Chu Yun obviously did not want to leave, his target was the 100,000 troops in Nanling City.
But I don’t know how to start.
Chu Yang also saw Chu Yun's hesitation at this time, but it was difficult for him to ask now.
"The time has not come yet. I guess my brothers will lead the troops out in the next two days."
"It's not too late to talk about it later!"
Chu Yang muttered to himself, thinking about his plan in his mind, which was nothing more than after the three princes led their troops out.
Let Chu Yun guard Luoyang City and fight with them, and use this as an excuse to get the military order and go to Nanling City to mobilize troops!
In this way, after obtaining the military token, he could be on the same boat with Chu Yang.
