The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1163: trample
Chapter 1163 Trampling
Sima Ruodan followed the deputy general into the gate of the Ye Mansion. On the way to meet Ye Shouguan, the deputy general introduced himself as Ye Shouguan’s deputy general, whose surname was Zhao. She was like meeting a relative, and whispered: “Before I came, my mother said… my grandmother and mother have a bad relationship with my uncle, and asked me to ask Deputy General Zhao for help if I have any problem.”
When Vice General Zhao heard this, he was convinced that Sima Ruodan was Ye Yinglan’s daughter. He comforted Sima Ruodan: “Those are the grudges of the elders. The general is a generous person and will not involve the grudges of the older generation on the younger generation. Don’t worry, cousin.”
“But I’m still scared!” Sima Ruodan looked pitiful and cried, “Now my mother, father and brother are all in Da Zhou. We were originally going to Yechengguan, but halfway through, mother received news that our emperor had been captured by Da Zhou. Mother felt that our Xiliang was doomed, and was worried that my uncle would not take us in if we came to Yechengguan, so she forced father to turn back to Suining City!”
As he spoke, he had already arrived at the door of Ye Shouguan’s study.
Seeing Ye Shouguan with unshaven beard and bloodshot eyes, Sima Ruodan stepped forward to salute, timidly called him uncle, and told him the whole story again, then knelt down and begged: “Uncle, please send troops to save my parents and brother!”
Ye Shouguan looked at Sima Ruodan who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, and narrowed his eyes until he heard the sound of sparks exploding, then he asked: “Your mother is afraid that I will not let your family enter the city, so why do you insist on returning to Suining City? You have already escaped in advance… Even if you don’t come to Yechengguan, you can hide in other cities, why do you insist on going back?”
When Sima Ruodan heard this, he shuddered and looked at Ye Shouguan pretending to be guilty…
Seeing Sima Ruodan’s expression, Ye Shouguan’s expression became even colder: “God, you’d better tell the truth, otherwise… I will treat you as a spy and chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!”
Sima Ruodan’s face turned pale with fear, and then he kowtowed in panic and said, “My mother heard that our Xiliang Emperor was captured, and felt that Xiliang was doomed, so she thought that before the Great Zhou army reached Yechengguan, our family would go back. As the daughter of the Ye family guarding Yechengguan… your uncle’s sister, she deceived the Great Zhou Emperor and said that she could persuade your uncle to open the city gate.”
Sima Ruodan secretly looked up at Ye Shouguan, then quickly retracted her gaze and said timidly, “If… Da Zhou wants to avoid war, she must let me marry the emperor’s younger brother, and then she will be willing to come and persuade my uncle to surrender! Mother… Mother… Originally, she thought that as long as I and the emperor’s younger brother had made it a done deal, then even if my uncle was unwilling to surrender, she would have done her best. If I could get pregnant with the blood of the Da Zhou royal family, we wouldn’t have to worry about the prosperity and wealth of our family!”
Hearing this, Ye Shouguan sneered: “This is really Ye Yinglan’s style!”
“But uncle, no matter what, my mother is your sister! Please send troops… to save my mother!”
Ye Shouguan’s attendant came in and brought Ye Shouguan a cup of hot tea. His eyes fell on Sima Ruodan, who was kneeling on the ground crying with his back shaking. He immediately saw the jade pendant Sima Ruodan was wearing. His pupils tightened and he stood aside, not daring to look again.
He didn’t expect that his young lady actually gave the jade pendant he gave to her daughter. Does this mean…the young lady has always been thinking about him? He didn’t know how the young lady was doing now!
Ye Shouguan looked at Sima Ruodan, who was shaking with tears, and asked again: “Your mother is calculating so loudly, why are you here again?”
Sima Ruodan fell to the ground and trembled: “The Emperor of the Great Zhou said… her brother’s marriage is not something that anyone can marry. Not only did he not agree, he also locked up our whole family. My mother originally wanted my brother and I to escape, but in the end, only I escaped!”
Sima Ruodan started to cry: “It’s my fault for not taking good care of my brother. Please, uncle, please save my mother, father and brother while saving our emperor! Please, uncle!”
“How can you be sure that the emperor of Xiliang is in the hands of the Great Zhou?” Ye Shouguan leaned forward and asked, “You are just a little daughter of a governor. Even if you were lucky enough to enter Yunjing, you would never have the chance to see the emperor! How can you be so sure that His Majesty is in the hands of the Great Zhou? Are you trying to trick me into sending troops to rescue your mother and father?”
“Uncle, I would never dare to lie to you about this!” Sima Ruodan kowtowed repeatedly. “Back then, we suffered a great defeat in the battle of the Northern Frontier of Xiliang. All the elite troops led by General Yun were killed in Wengshan. When Xiliang asked for peace, Your Majesty was still sent to be the princess of the Great Zhou. At that time, Your Majesty stayed in the governor’s mansion! Your niece is honored to have met Your Majesty!”
“And this time, when my family went back, His Majesty was locked up in the yard next to us. He threw things and yelled in that yard! He said he would kill all those Zhou people! He wanted to avenge Tianzhuo…” Sima Ruodan seemed to be recalling and talking, “It was just that the people guarding us were too strict at that time, so my niece didn’t dare to talk to His Majesty! But when I escaped, I heard from the Great Zhou army that the Great Zhou emperor and his men would soon attack Yecheng Pass, and at that time they would imitate General Yun and hang His Majesty and my parents in front of their army to block their arrows!”
Deputy General Zhao opened his eyes wide and turned to look at Ye Shouguan: “General!”
Ye Shouguan clenched his hands suddenly, veins on the back of his hands throbbed, and his face turned ashen. Hanging the emperor of their Xiliang in the front to block the arrows was a humiliation to their Xiliang and a trampling on their Xiliang!
Deputy General Zhao knelt on one knee and said, “General, I request to lead a team of troops to Suining City to rescue His Majesty! No matter what, the emperor of Xiliang must not be insulted by the Zhou people!”
Ye Shouguan knew that the Xiliang Emperor must not be insulted, but how many people in Xiliang were insulted? First, Li Tianjiao brought the Tianfeng Kingdom and almost handed over the entire Xiliang to the Tianfeng Kingdom.
Later, the eight major families and the Tianfeng Kingdom helped Li Tianfu to ascend to the throne. Although Ye Shouguan was dissatisfied, he accepted it as Li Tianfu was the bloodline of the previous emperor after all!
But Li Tianjiao insisted on getting involved with the Tianfeng Kingdom and taking part in the Four-Nation Alliance. He submitted a memorial to stop Li Tianfu, but Li Tianfu insisted on going!
The alliance of the four countries failed to produce any results, and she, as the emperor of Xiliang, fell into the hands of the Great Zhou!
First it was a puppet of the Tianfeng Kingdom, and then it was blocked by the Great Zhou. The Xiliang royal family has disappointed the soldiers and the people, and once the people’s hearts are scattered… Xiliang is about to fall apart!
