Chapter 488

Dongfang Kuo raises his hand to block the words of Dongfang Youlang:

"To ask the emperor to marry you Ruo and King Yi is to take advantage of the danger of others. Fortunately, the emperor is kind. Otherwise, even if your grandfather has a deep friendship with the emperor, we in the East will be crushed by the king. However, although the emperor doesn't care, we as ministers can't always have no self-knowledge. If you can't do it with Yiwang, it can only show that he and I are not predestined. "

The implication is that if Yiwang insists on not taking it, he will not fight for it again.

Dongfang Youlang doesn't agree with him. He doesn't want to see that his third sister, who has been in favor of him since childhood, is not happy at all. He wants to retort. However, looking at his father's awe inspiring face, he finally swallows his words.

He is an adult man who can take charge of his own affairs. He doesn't have to go through his father in everything.

……

After the secret conversation in the study, Dongfang Kuo took advantage of the night to go to the place where each of his generals was, and gave a command to what happened in today's battlefield in different ways and words.

The generals scrutinized the friendship between dongfangkuo's father and the emperor, and did not want to be his enemy. They all agreed to what he said and gave orders. So far, the garrison of northern Hebei city and the reinforcements brought by dongfangyouhua kept a secret of today's affairs outside Hongdu city from top to bottom, and no one mentioned them again.

However, the Hongdu garrison of Sima chuzhao's troops retreating to the northern city of Hebei was beyond Dongfang Kuo's control.

Although Sima chuzhao is not good at martial arts, he has the pride of the people in the Jianghu.

Although he didn't go to Hongdu today, he learned from his subordinates that Xia Jin, regardless of her own safety, decided to go to Xichuan military camp in exchange for Xiao Yiyuan's return.

Deep in his heart, he gave birth to a strong praise and admiration for Xia Jin.

Therefore, when dongfangkuo appeared at his residence early the next morning and offered to keep secret, Sima chuzhao refused.

Dongfang Kuo had already expected that he would have such a reaction. He had already prepared his speech in the bottom of his heart. He coughed lightly, straightened his face, and said solemnly:

"The Lord of the city can certainly ignore the general's words, but now Hongdu city has not been recaptured, the city of northern Hebei is in danger, and the soldiers are demoralized because of the great humiliation that King Yi was tied to the chariot by the enemy. If there is another internal strife because of Xia Jin, once Xichuan and Beiyou are linked at the same time, the Eastern Qing Dynasty will be in danger!"

When dongfangkuo said this, Sima chuzhao fell into deep thinking.

He was deeply angry at what Dongfang Youlang had done on the battlefield yesterday.

However, what dongfangkuo said is selfish, but very reasonable.

Beiyou was ready to move as early as Xichuan's army had not conquered xiahong capital. Now, several months later, if you say it will stop, and there is no next move, I'm afraid three-year-old children will not believe it.

In such a dangerous situation, Xiao Yiyuan, the soul of the Dongqing army, must cheer up in the shortest time!

In the end, Sima chuzhao chose to compromise and ignored the matter.

……

The goal is achieved, knowing that he is not welcomed, dongfangkuo does not stay here for a long time, and leaves quickly after saying goodbye.

As soon as he returned to the east courtyard where he lived, his subordinates reported:

"General, Lord Yi is awake!"

Dongfang Kuo rushed to Xiao Yiyuan's room as fast as he could. As soon as he entered the room, he heard the sound of "pa ~" coming from behind the screen, which was the sound of broken porcelain.

There was a pause in the eastern striding expedition, and then it took another step, quickly crossed the screen and appeared in the inner room.

There are countless pieces of porcelain and tea scattered on the indoor floor, which is a mess.

The three maidservants knelt down on the ground with fear and touched the ground with their heads. They were obviously terrified to the extreme.

Wu Zhong and two medical officials stood by the bed, each with a dignified look.

But Xiao Yiyuan half sits on the bed, his complexion is extremely pale, two thin lips have no blood color, the whole person is extremely weak.

Dongfangkuo quickly put the situation in the room under his eyes, and bowed his hand to Xiao Yiyuan on the bed quietly

"I have seen the Lord!"

"Dongfangkuo, as an old general who has been invited by the imperial court several times and has just come out of the mountain, you really make me look at you with new eyes!"

Xiao Yiyuan stares at dongfangkuo fiercely, and he says something like this.

If eyes can kill people, then he is full of ice dregs, enough to make Dongfang Kuo die a thousand times.

This old bastard let Xia Jin fight for him!

If Xia Jin had a chance, he could not forgive himself all his life.

Dongfang Kuo understands that Xiao Yiyuan is angry with him because he didn't stop Xia Jin from changing people.

He silently lowered his head, allowing Xiao Yiyuan's sharp and angry eyes to go back and forth on himself.

Seeing Dongfang Kuo pretending to be dead, Xiao Yiyuan scolded the old fox in his heart. He closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and struggled to restrain his roaring anger. When he opened his eyes again, he got rid of his anger and worry and had a trace of reason in his eyes

"What's the news from Xichuan?"

"Lord Hui, after Li Keqi returned to the city, he closed the city gate. No one was allowed to go in and out. There is no news yet!"

Dongfangkuo answered quickly, and his head was lower and lower.

The expected fury didn't happen. After a moment's silence, Xiao Yiyuan forced himself to come down from the bed. Wu Zhong quickly stepped forward to help him, but he waved him away.

However, after being tortured by his subordinates for a whole night, he could not recover in such a short period of time, even though he was strong and had amazing resilience.

When Wu Zhong waved away, Xiao Yiyuan only felt that he had been beaten by the stick mercilessly and bent his legs uncontrollably. Then he shook his body and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Wu Zhong was quick in his eyes and helped him again, which saved him from being planted on the ground.

"Lord Yi, in your present situation, even a weak woman can easily knock you down. If you insist on saving Miss Xia, you will only waste Miss Xia's efforts. I hope you will be careful and think twice

Wu Zhong couldn't help but persuade him.

Xiao Yiyuan didn't know that what Wu Zhong said was true, but he didn't want to face it directly, let alone admit it!

At this time, Wu Zhong points out everything, the window paper is suddenly pierced, and Xiao Yiyuan is silent. His brows are tightly twisted together, his jaw is clenched, and the flame of death is burning in his eyes.

After a long period of silence, Xiao Yiyuan spoke again, with a tone of no hesitation

"Bring in the best doctor in the city. For two days at most, I will go to Hongdu to save people!"

"Yes! I'll go at once

Wu Zhong answered, and then helped Xiao Yiyuan back to the bed to settle down, then quickly out of the room.

But he knew in his heart that Xiao Yiyuan's joints were hit by the wooden mixture. Although he had no fracture due to his internal force resistance, the injury should not be underestimated.

In addition to the internal injuries he suffered, he could not recover to the point where he could enter Hongdu city to save people.
