Looking at the majestic middle-aged man in front of him, Luo Qingluan looked indifferent and did not speak.
When she doesn't have an advantage, she won't be able to speak up, but it's just in vain, laughing and generous.
After looking at Luo Qingluan for a moment, the middle-aged man's face suddenly changed, and he said sharply: "Do you know that the Queen Mother gave you a death order and asked us to kill you at all costs?" You're not even like a person, you're really not afraid of death? โ
Hearing this, Luo Qingluan smiled: "Could it be that if I'm afraid, I won't die?" The general was really joking. โ
Stunned for a moment, the middle-aged man's face immediately changed again, he appreciated the peace a little more, and said loudly: "Come on, look at the seat." โ
As soon as the words fell, a small soldier immediately brought a stool and placed it beside Luo Qingluan. She glanced at it, but she was not pretentious, Shi Shiran sat down: "Thank you." โ
The middle-aged man waved his hand, withdrew his subordinates, and went out together with Liao Tianhan, at this time, only Luo Qingluan and him were left in the entire camp. The fire in the middle of the tent burned vigorously, and even at night it was not cold at all, and it was filled with a hot steam.
"Princess Chu, do you know your fate? General Ben gives you two choices, you listen well. โ
The middle-aged man is the main general of the Southern Wei Dynasty this time, the hussar general Li Dian, who is not only a nobleman of the Southern Wei Dynasty, but also the in-law of the Empress Dowager Xiao. When the Empress Dowager Xiao advocated sending troops this time, she strongly supported the Empress Dowager Xiao, and was reused by the Empress Dowager Xiao, appointing him to lead 80,000 Southern Wei soldiers to attack Western Chu.
Although he had never fought against Western Chu, Li Dian's two battles were against the former North Vietnam, and both won a complete victory. Therefore, this time the Empress Dowager Xiao put all her hopes on him, hoping to win.
His eyes became darker and darker, and Li Dian said in a deep voice: "First, I was escorted to Beijing by General Ben and waited for the Queen Mother to deal with it." Second, cooperate with General Ben to repel the soldiers of Western Chu, and General Ben can ask for merit for Princess Chu, and may be able to spare you the death penalty. โ
Luo Qingluan suddenly sneered: "I'm afraid the general has drunk too much wine and is talking nonsense, right?" If you want to escort me to Beijing, it's very simple, I'm a weak woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, so naturally I can't resist. But if the general wants me to betray Xichu and help you attack your own people, isn't this whimsical on your part? โ
Listening to Luo Qingluan's unceremonious refusal, Li Dian did not get angry, but looked at her deeply: "Could it be that Princess Chu really wants to die?" โ
After a pause, Luo Qingluan said: "The ants are still greedy, if I say I want to live, can the general let me go back?" โ
"Hahaha, it's naturally impossible to let you go back, so don't be delusional about Princess Chu." Li Dian laughed arrogantly and looked at Luo Qingluan meaningfully: "However, if the princess wants to live, this general has a way, as long as you can make Xichu withdraw and promise never to invade my Southern Wei, this general can guarantee that the princess can live comfortably and comfortably in Southern Wei from now on, prosperous and wealthy, and sit back and relax." โ
Actually let her be a traitor? Is it possible?
Luo Qingluan said coldly: "If the general fights this idea, I advise you to give up." โ
Not surprised, Li Dian said sharply: "Since the princess is unwilling to cooperate, it seems that General Ben can only be executed......"
At this moment, Luo Qingluan suddenly said, "Wait." โ
"Hahaha, I knew that the princess didn't want to die either, right?" Li Dian thought that Luo Qingluan was scared, and a smile of victory appeared on his face, as if he had expected it a long time ago.
"I mean, although this princess is not willing to surrender
, I am even more reluctant to betray Xi Chu, but the general wants Xi Chu to withdraw his troops, and I can still do this. Luo Qingluan looked at Li Dian and said word by word, his words full of incitement.
Let Xichu withdraw his troops?
Although this was not Li Dian's first request, if he could really do this, wouldn't he have completed the big thing that caused the entire Southern Wei Dynasty a headache without spending a single soldier?
"What do you mean by Princess Chu?" Li Dian wouldn't believe Luo Qingluan casually.
Thinking about the plan in his heart, Luo Qingluan said word by word: "The general's dispatch of troops is nothing more than to resist the attack of Western Chu, I said ugly things in front, it is almost impossible for the general to win this battle." โ
"You ......"
"Even if the general uses me as a hostage and threatens Xi Chu, it will be absolutely impossible!"
Luo Qingluan said categorically: "Unless I am willing, it is useless for anyone, including Empress Dowager Xiao, I am not threatened, even if I die, it is useless!" โ
Hearing this, Li Dian was annoyed, and slapped the table in front of him and said angrily: "General Ben doesn't believe that you can afford to be tortured, and whether you agree or not when the time comes, you can't have the final say." โ
"If I want to die, does the general think you stopped it?"
Luo Qingluan smiled coldly, with incomparably sarcasm in his eyes, "General, don't forget, you just used despicable conspiracy to catch me, and when Nalan Ye knew that the general was mean to me, and even I died at the hands of the general in the end, the consequences of the general ......"
Nalan Night's revenge?
Thinking of this, Li Dian trembled all over.
This terrifying man, he can't fight against Nalan Ye at all, and Luo Qingluan knew that he was jealous, and took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, the general will taste what it means to 'survive but not die'." โ
"Shut up! Shut up! Li Dian's face was gloomy, and he hit the table again and again, with a bang, and the solid table couldn't help but slap him one after another, and it fell apart and was in tatters.
The soldiers on duty outside rushed in with a loud noise, and it was Liao Tianhan who rushed to the front, and as soon as he came in, he exclaimed: "General, what happened?" โ
took a closer look, but saw Luo Qingluan sitting on the side, looking calm, but the general Li Dian's face was as if he had been smeared with ink, and he was furious.
"It's none of your business, get out!" Li Dian shouted angrily.
"General......
"I let you out, didn't you hear? Want to die? Li Dian looked like he was going to kill someone.
No way, Liao Tianhan and the others could only hurry out, and they didn't know what Luo Qingluan said, the general who provoked him was furious, and he didn't dare to touch her.
When everyone went out, Luo Qingluan still looked calm, as if nothing had happened just now.
In the face of this woman who can't enter the oil and salt, can't threaten, and can't kill at will, Li Dian really has a big head. I thought that by capturing Luo Qingluan alive, I could make a great contribution, but who knew that this woman had a sharp mouth, and he became more and more jealous of what he said.
"Don't be angry, the princess just said this, just to tell the general a fact. I can get Xichu to withdraw his troops, and the general can also get the benefits. When the war is over, the general will escort me back to Beijing and send it to the Empress Dowager Xiao. Luo Qingluan said, his eyes filled with indescribable deep meaning.
As if considering Luo Qingluan's proposal, Li Dian gradually calmed down, frowned, and didn't speak for a long time.
If what Luo Qingluan said is
Really, then she naturally has a way to make Xi Chu retreat, and this is the biggest benefit he gets.
But what Li Dian is worried about, is what Luo Qingluan said true?
If she has other plans and is playing tricks, once something goes wrong, she is afraid that she will be fooled.
His eyes moved little by little, and finally fell on Luo Qingluan's cold and pretty face, but Li Dian didn't dare to be careless at all, and said word by word: "What you said, but it's true?" Are you really willing to help Southern Wei let Western Chu retreat? โ
From this sentence, Luo Qingluan heard it, and the other party was moved.
"Of course, after all, I am in the hands of the general, and I don't want to die." Luo Qingluan said very positively: "I let Xi Chu withdraw from the army, it can't be regarded as betraying Xi Chu, as for me seeing the Empress Dowager Xiao, whether I live or die depends on my creation, just leave it to fate." โ
Li Dian was a little suspicious: "Will you resign yourself to fate?" โ
The corners of his lips raised a curvature, and Luo Qingluan didn't answer and asked, "What does the general think?" What is impossible in this world? As long as you can survive, many impossible things will actually happen. โ
It would be great if that was the case.
Li Dian thought about it for a long time, and finally the jealousy of Western Chu in his heart, as well as the fear of revenge for Nalan Ye, the king of Chu, and the temptation to return to Beijing in triumph, made him make a decision: "Okay, General Ben will believe you once, and tomorrow, you will tell General Ben the original plan for retreating, if you find that something is wrong......"
He laughed gloomily: "Princess Chu, then don't blame General Ben for not giving you a chance." โ
Luo Qingluan was noncommittal, got up slowly, and Li Dian immediately called someone in: "Take Princess Chu down to have a good rest, don't be lazy, send more people to wait." โ
"Yes, General."
Surrounded by several soldiers, Luo Qingluan walked out of the camp.
Blown by the oncoming night wind, she looked at the darkness, the sky was still dark, but a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on her body.
It's dangerous, at least she's barely buying herself a little time.
As long as she has the opportunity, she will try to keep herself alive, waiting for reinforcements, and at the same time saving herself.
Perhaps with Li Dian's order, Liao Tianhan sent someone to find the only woman in the barracks, that is, Mrs. Song, who helped in the back kitchen, to serve Luo Qingluan. As for Leng Li, although he is not as free as Luo Qingluan, at least he did not suffer from the flesh and skin, but he was just ordered to point to the acupoints and tied with ropes, and he was not allowed to move the rest of the time except for eating and untying it.
All night, Luo Qingluan slept in a separate camp tent, and the outside was full of Southern Wei soldiers.
What Li Dian said was that letting people serve her well was just sending more people to monitor her, but Luo Qingluan didn't care, anyway, his life would not be in danger for a while, so it was better to sleep and recuperate.
Lying down, Luo Qingluan did not close his eyes, and there were thousands of thoughts in his head.
I don't know what's wrong with Nangong Yu now, she should have found out that she and Leng Li were missing, right?
Mu Xiaoyu and them, are they in a hurry, do they want to save her?
The night was spent peacefully.
On the second day, Luo Qingluan had just woken up, and Mrs. Song's voice came from outside: "Hey, my lord, you can't go in, the girl is still sleeping, how can you be a big man...... Ouch, adults don't ......."
Luo Qingluan immediately got up and looked at the door vigilantly, only to see Liao Tianhan open the curtain of the camp tent and rush straight in, his face was very ugly.
