Chapter 232 Is he trying to force the Queen to death?
Lu Xinran was shocked. She had imagined all kinds of possibilities on the way here, but she never expected it to be this.
This, this is a crazy batch!
She looked at Lu Xinlan almost subconsciously, and Lu Xinlan met her incredulous gaze with a slightly frown.
Things seemed to be different from what they had originally imagined, but more complicated.
In the study, all the deputy generals were silent, and everyone lost the ability to speak.
What did they just hear?!
Is this war related to General Xie?
The Queen's face was gloomy. If everything Lu Xinran saw from the system was correct, then the current situation was no longer the most urgent issue.
She stood up and was about to look for Xie Lang, but the study door was pushed open at this moment.
Before Xie Lang came in, his fierce gaze like an eagle was already cast at him.
"Do you know everything?"
He walked casually, but his burly body seemed to fill the entire study in an instant, and pressed straight towards the queen.
The queen's expression remained unchanged, she just waved her hand to signal the deputy generals in the room to leave first.
Qi Yu looked at the two of them and wanted to go forward, but Xie Lang got to him first, picked him up and put him back on the couch.
"why?"
The queen clenched her hands tightly behind her back. She met his familiar yet unfamiliar gaze and asked, which made her lose some of her confidence.
Xie Lang smiled, casually swept the map and military intelligence on the table aside, and went out to find someone to bring wine and food.
"Sit down and speak slowly."
The queen stared at him, motionless.
Xie Lang picked up the wine jug and poured two glasses of wine, then forcefully stuffed one of the glasses into the queen's hand.
"I can tell you anything you want to know, but first let your two little friends go back to their rooms and get some rest."
As he spoke, his gaze, as if it had substance, fell through the door curtain onto the two sisters in the room.
The queen turned sideways to block his gaze.
"No need. You'll know even if you avoid it."
And with Lu Xinran here, she can help her judge whether the person in front of her is lying or not.
All the thoughts in her mind made her no longer have any trust in the person in front of her.
Xie Lang shrugged his shoulders, found a chair and sat down casually, then raised his hand and pointed to the seat next to him.
"It's been many years since we last met. Are you doing well in the capital?"
He asked this question even though he already knew the answer. The queen looked at him expressionlessly and asked why again.
"why?"
Xie Lang chuckled, "You should know why, Zhang Wanhua, have you been the queen for so long that you have forgotten what you said when you brought us back?"
The queen's body trembled slightly. The palace was lonely. The scenes of the past had been replaying before her eyes all these years.
But remember, these are not the reasons for him to act so recklessly.
"Do you know that you are going to pay with human lives by doing this?"
Foreign enemies invaded, countless people were left homeless, and countless soldiers were buried outside the Great Wall.
How dare he!
"So what?"
Xie Lang smiled coldly: "From the day you picked me up, you knew that I have no heart and no passion.
"Zhang Wanhua, since you picked us up, you can't just ignore us!
"If you live the life you want in the capital, I can tolerate it! But look at how miserable you are!
"Without me, you will never be able to leave the capital in your life, leave the place that makes people become resentful women in the deep palace!
"I'm helping you. Aren't you happy that you can escape from there?"
The queen's body trembled constantly. She never thought that the truth would be like this.
She thought she had finally found an opportunity to leave the capital, but in the end, this freedom... seemed like a huge joke.
On the way here, her determination to die seemed ridiculous.
Lu Xinran and the other person were completely stunned. The effect of seeing through the system and actually hearing the other party speak on their own initiative was naturally different.
How could this person be so terrible?
[Is he trying to force the queen to death? Without him, the queen could still live in the palace in depression, but now...]
Having shouldered the responsibility for so many lives, this freedom was enough to make the queen commit suicide on the battlefield.
Xie Lang listened to this sigh, and his cold eyes finally regained some warmth.
"But don't think too much. I was just using their own tricks. The Qiang people who had rushed to the far west had already been ready to make a move. I just guided them appropriately after receiving the intelligence and asked them to advance the date of the siege."
"What about Yuchengguan? What about the people in the city?"
Qi Yu, who had finally found his voice, stared at Xie Lang with flaming eyes.
Xie Lang shrugged: "Chahar has assembled nearly 300,000 troops this time. Do you think Yucheng Pass can be defended just because we want to?"
Winter had just passed, and there was not much food or fodder left in the barracks.
Supplies were delayed in arriving, and the emperor's fear of them never diminished.
Without food and supplies, the soldiers in the army are already having a hard time. Now they are being approached by an army of 3000,000. How are they going to defend Yucheng Pass?
Qi Yu gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth for a long while: "We can't defend the city, but we can't abandon it. How will the people in the city look at us if we do this!"
"Whatever," Xie Lang leaned back in his chair and looked lazily at the queen again: "Even though he knew he couldn't bear it, he still wanted to fight to the death. The dog emperor is not worth my life to defend the city for him."
The queen closed her eyes. Her heart had been up and down today, and only now did she feel temporarily relieved from the torment.
"As early as when I found out that Chahar was going to attack the city, I had already sent people to evacuate the city and let all the people who could leave escape."
Especially those families with girls, regardless of age, brought them to Hanyu Pass.
These are the people who are now cooking, mending clothes and boiling medicine for the soldiers in the city.
Lu Xinran looked at the booklet with mixed feelings.
This person is neither good nor evil, and it is impossible to evaluate him, and the other party does not need to be evaluated either.
"Okay, hurry up and sit down and eat something. Aren't we going to discuss how to take back Yuchengguan? After eating, call those deputy generals back and we will discuss it together.
"But I advise you not to hold out too much hope that the dog emperor will send another 100,000 reinforcements here.
"Otherwise, it would be a foolish dream to take back Yucheng Pass with only the 50,000 people you brought with you."
The queen looked at him coldly, trying to discern how much truth and how much falsehood there was in his words.
Xie Lang didn't care about his suspicion. He just put his long arm on the back of her chair and said something casually.
"The little girl you brought with you can tell whether what I said is true or not, right? Why don't you just ask her?"
Lu Xinran, who was nominated, felt her heart tighten and she subconsciously looked at Lu Xinlan.
This person, what does this person mean?
