Chapter 140 The whole army is convinced
Luo Ying hugged her head in pain. The conflicting emotions in her heart were so intense that her head was about to explode! It was as if she was trying to resist the collapse deep in her heart. She choked with sobs, her voice full of helplessness and confusion:
"You...you don't have to be so nice to me. I really...really can't stand it...I'm so scared. I'm scared that I will completely fall into your love that is as surging as the tide."
She raised her head and looked at Feng Yequn, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes: "The biggest regret between us is that we didn't meet each other at the place where we first met. If I had met you first, I would definitely love you without hesitation, and only love you... But I can't do it now... I already have brother Yuchen in my heart... If I accept your love... I will feel that I owe both of you... I don't want this... I feel so painful in my heart... My heart is only so big... I can't accommodate both of you at the same time..."
When Feng Yequn heard her words, the ice that had just solidified due to his loss melted instantly. It was like a spring breeze blowing on his face, slowly melting his previously frozen heart. He gently held her in his arms, his voice low and gentle, as if he was coaxing a wounded child. He hugged her tightly and whispered to her:
"It's not your fault....Don't feel guilty....Don't feel pain....You rejected me again and again...It's my fault, I was too obsessed with you."
After Luo Ying's emotions calmed down a little, Feng Yequn held her arms with both hands, his eyes full of sincerity and determination.
"I will restrain my overflowing love for you... I will just stay by your side and protect you silently... As long as you are happy... I won't force you to make any decision... Don't feel burdened, okay?"
Luo Ying looked up at Feng Yequn, tears glistening in her eyes and her voice choked with sobs.
"Why...why are you so nice to me? What should I do..."
Before she finished her words, a crystal teardrop fell from the corner of her eye. Feng Yequn gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eye, his voice gentle but firm.
"Don't say such things....Everything I did, I did willingly. For you, I have no regrets."
Feng Yequn carefully escorted Luo Ying to the mysterious and deep woods, his eyes full of reluctance and affection. He gently stroked Luo Ying's silky face and said in a low and gentle voice:
"Okay, I'll take you here so they won't find you! Go back and get some rest."
Luo Ying nodded silently, tears sparkling in her eyes. Feng Yequn reluctantly let go of her hand, watching her figure walking away, with an indescribable sadness in his heart. He took a deep breath and sighed, as if expressing his endless feelings of parting.
Luo Ying was walking alone in the deep and mysterious woods. The night was dim, and the moonlight shone through the treetops, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of weirdness and mystery to the woods.
Suddenly, a cold wind came quietly, like a ghost, and got into her neck, making her shiver involuntarily. She frowned slightly, twisted her neck uncomfortably, trying to dispel the creepy chill, and then continued to walk forward firmly.
She glided through the night and finally joined up with Shi Juyi and Shao Hanyue. Shao Hanyue's eyes flashed with surprise, and she seemed to be still immersed in what had just happened. She whispered in disbelief: "The operation to destroy the artillery tonight seemed to be surprisingly smooth."
Luo Ying suddenly felt a subtle tension in her neck, as if an invisible force was quietly causing the scene in front of her to begin to have a faint double image. She frowned slightly and twisted her neck involuntarily, trying to dispel the discomfort.
Shi Juyi, who was standing by, keenly noticed her subtle changes, and his eyes revealed concern and nervousness. He quickly stepped forward and asked softly:
"Yingshuai, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Luo Ying shook her head gently and rubbed her sore neck, trying to ease the discomfort. She said lightly, "It's okay. I probably caught a cold just now."
Although she tried her best to act relaxed and natural, Shi Juyi could still sense a hint of unusual fatigue from her subtle movements. He was secretly worried, but he didn't want to add pressure to Luo Ying at this time.
The three of them walked quickly and rushed to the heavenly military camp together.
On the second day, when the first rays of dawn shone on the earth, Luo Ying's camp was already solemn. Luo Ying sat on the main seat, her face solemn and her eyes like torches, as if she was thinking about the upcoming war. Beside her, the two deputy generals Shi Juyi and Shao Hanyue, as well as many generals, had gathered together, ready to have an in-depth discussion on the upcoming war.
At this moment, a soldier came hurriedly to report, his voice full of excitement: "Report to the Marshal, our army has obtained important news. All the enemy's artillery has been silenced overnight!"
When Shao Hanyue heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She clapped her hands excitedly and praised:
"Great! Sister is really amazing! She can dismantle the structure of their artillery and break their artillery array with her intelligence!"
Shi Juyi raised his eyebrows proudly. He glanced at General Lu standing beside him and said provocatively, "Didn't someone say that our commander Ying won by chance because the enemy was inexperienced? If we try to deal with such heavy weapons head-on, it would be like an egg hitting a rock! Could it be that these artillery pieces became mute on their own?"
General Lu blushed at Shi Juyi's words, as if he was scorched by the scorching sun, and was speechless for a moment. Seeing this, General Qi knew that the atmosphere was awkward, so he hurriedly stepped forward to mediate. He smiled and said to Luo Ying:
"Marshal Ying, you are indeed brave and resourceful. You led only two men to explore the enemy camp at night and broke the enemy's dreaded artillery array. You really make us feel ashamed! After these three battles, the whole army is convinced by the marshal!"
Luo Ying heard this and smiled bitterly in her heart. She knew that the reason why she was able to successfully break the artillery array yesterday was all thanks to Feng Yequn's secret help. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, so she coughed a few times, put her fist against her mouth to cover up her discomfort, and then said modestly:
"General Qi, thank you for your praise! Fortunately, we had thousands of generals working together to resist the foreign enemies yesterday. We were able to sneak into the enemy camp at night and break the artillery array with our wisdom, thus buying time. The credit belongs to everyone! I will ask the Emperor of Heaven to reward all the generals."
After hearing this, all the generals bowed and said in unison:
"Thank you Marshal!"
Luo Ying turned back to look at Shao Hanyue again, a gentle light flashed in her eyes, and she said softly:
"And sister Hanyue, you have also helped a lot in these battles. I will also ask the Emperor of Heaven to reward you well."
Shao Hanyue smiled shyly but happily when she heard this. She nodded slightly and whispered:
"Thank you for your kindness, Marshal. Han Yue will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations."
General Qi looked solemn and asked Marshal Luo Ying again: "Marshal, what do you think about our next battle plan?"
Luo Ying's eyes flashed with determination. She spoke slowly, with an unshakable determination in her voice: "These three battles are delaying our time to reach Shili Bahuang. Next we have to take the initiative to attack and get rid of them."
General Qi nodded slightly and asked again: "Does the Marshal have a specific battle plan?"
Luo Ying nodded slightly and replied, "Yes! Please help me find a topographic map so that I can study how to use the terrain to our advantage, so as to avoid a fight between the two armies and successfully get rid of them."
When the generals around heard this, they all looked at Luo Ying with admiration. General Qi even praised him, saying, "The Marshal is indeed kind and generous. He doesn't want the two armies to fight and cause a bloodbath."
Luo Ying took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a firm belief: "Every soldier represents a family. They are the sparks of the army's honor. However, for their small families, they are the sky in the family. If one less soldier is sacrificed, the integrity of the family can be preserved. The purpose of war should not only be the struggle for power, but also the responsibility of protecting the people of the world!"
Her words were full of affection and power, and moved every general present. They knew that under the leadership of Marshal Luo Ying, they were not only fighting for the honor of the heavens, but also fighting to protect the happiness and peace of every family in the heavens.
In the magnificent palace of the Heavenly Court, the Emperor of Heaven and Hua Yuchen stood side by side. The atmosphere in the center of the hall was solemn and majestic. On both sides of the hall, the generals in shining armor stood like iron walls and bronze walls, and the aura of majesty was overwhelming. Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence, and the soldiers stepped forward quickly, their voices like a bell:
"Good news!! Good news!!"
This shout was like a spring breeze blowing across the frozen lake, instantly stirring up ripples in everyone's hearts. Everyone's eyes were focused on the soldier, with surprise and expectation flashing in their eyes.
The Emperor of Heaven asked impatiently, "Tell me quickly, what is the good news?"
The soldier took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and reported:
"Marshal Luo personally led two of his men to explore the enemy camp last night, and they defeated fifty of the enemy's artillery without sacrificing a single soldier."
These words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present. However, Hua Yuchen's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he was furious: "What? Why didn't anyone report yesterday that the enemy had brought fifty artillery pieces!"
The soldier was intimidated by Hua Yuchen's aura and replied in a trembling voice: "Yes... Marshal Luo ordered to block the news and not let Your Highness know..."
Hua Yuchen heard this, tears flashed in her eyes, and she choked up and said, "She is always like this, afraid that I would worry and act rashly, so she would rather bear everything by herself. At such a dangerous moment, she refused to inform me."
General You couldn't help but admire:
"The princess is really... How can I praise her enough? Not only is she both intelligent and brave, she is also extremely courageous. Two of her subordinates went to the enemy camp at night and destroyed fifty of the enemy's cannons. Even if Your Highness had temporarily dispatched troops to rescue them yesterday, it would have been too late! We don't know how many people would have been killed or injured!"
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Hua Yuchen, and seeing the sharp and murderous light flashing in his eyes, he quickly shut up.
The Emperor of Heaven laughed happily and said:
"I really like my wife here. She is not only brave and resourceful, but also has great courage and insight. She also knows how to consider the overall situation."
He patted Hua Yuchen on the shoulder and said, "You need to learn more from your wife. She is calm in times of crisis. Unlike you, you lose control of your emotions when they get out of control!"
The Emperor's eyes were full of admiration and expectations for Luo Ying. Hua Yuchen stood there silently, with an indescribable complex emotion in his heart.
