Feng Ning Yan looked at the wine pot on the table and suddenly thought of something.
She got up and walked over to Hua Ruyu with a smile. She said gently: "I can spare your life, but vice versa. They won't allow me to spare you. You must personally kowtow to their spirit in heaven. "
This was all too easy for Hua Ruyu, because she was especially good at acting.
When she heard this, all she had to do was put on an act, offering sacrifices and paying her respects. This way, Feng Ning Yan would let her off, and of course she would agree.
This excuse of Feng Ning Yan's made sense, and Shen You Huang couldn't think of any reason to stop her.
Seeing that Shen Youhuang didn't object, Feng Ning Yan pulled Hua Ruyu's arm and walked out of the tent. She made Hua Ruyu kneel down and kowtow three times in the direction of the Green Plum Guild.
Hua Ruyu did as she was told and poured the wine from the pot on the ground, offering her prayers to those who died that night in the Green Plum Guild.
It was dusk. The sun was setting in the west and the sky was dyed red.
The cool evening breeze blew the flags outside the tent, the wind whined like wailing.
The cold wind blew Hua Ruyu's shoulder. She suddenly felt a little scared and quickly got up from the ground. She thought to herself: "Could it be that there really are Undead in this world?"
But thinking about the fact that this was a military place with the highest level of yang energy, he didn't dare to come here, so what was there to be afraid of?
Feng Ning Yan looked at the sky above the Cyan Plum Guild. She didn't dare think about the tragic death of those corpses. She coldly looked at Hua Ruyu who had her head lowered, thinking about something. Then, she turned back to her tent.
When Shen Youhuang saw Feng Ning Yan and Hua Ruyu return in single file, Hua Ruyu did not seem to be particularly troubled. She smiled and said:
"Alright, the secondary wife has already apologized three times. This shows that she truly repented. I hope that Princess Yuanyu will sincerely forgive her as well."
Feng Ning Yan clenched her teeth and returned to her seat. Shen Ling Jue was looking at her approvingly, and she forced a smile.
She regarded the greater picture as her top priority, and of course, she was trying to stabilize Shen You Huang as well. However, she knew that Hua Ruyu was not really paying her respects to them, and the souls of Yue Qing and the rest were still unable to rest in peace …
The other generals in the tent also understood. Knowing that Feng Ning Yan could endure it and accept Hua Ruyu's apology did not mean that they were afraid of Shen You Huang, but rather that they would retreat in order to protect Qi Cang. The young marshal's broadmindedness caused others to admire him.
Shen Ling Jue turned his head towards the generals: "Now that the enemy already occupies the Southern Yong Pass, we naturally have to face the enemy together. As long as the Southern Yong Pass was not recovered, he would not slack off for even a single day. Today's banquet is to wash the dust for me and my royal consort, and also to cheer the warriors who are about to come forth and kill the enemy. I vow to ally my soul with wine, and not retreat the enemy, and not return home! "
"If we don't retreat, we won't return home!" Feng Ning Yan and the rest of the soldiers loudly echoed her, raising their cups and drinking to their heart's content.
The banquet had finally returned to normal. The generals were high in morale as they drank their wine.
Shen Youhuang had regained her freedom and had saved Hua Ruyu's life as she wished. She had greatly redeemed her pride and wore a triumphant expression on her face.
Ever since he was born, he had been suppressed by the crown prince. Not to mention the fact that he was on par with his second royal brother, Shen Lingjue, who was doted on by the emperor, in the heart of the royal father, he could not even be compared to an emperor.
This is the first time he got the upper hand in front of Shen Ling Jue. It's so satisfying to let him and Feng Ning Yan give in in front of everyone!
He held the wine cup in his hand as the viciousness in his eyes became more and more apparent.
As long as he is able to bring back military merits this time, Shen Lingjue will no longer be the only prince of the Great Yue State that is highly regarded by the emperor and loved by all his subjects.
It was as if the coveted position of the Lord of Storage was beckoning to him.
As long as he seized the opportunity to get rid of Shen Lingjue and Feng Ning Yan, who would be able to stop him, Shen You Huang, from dominating the world and dominating the mountains and rivers!?
When her thoughts traveled here, the corners of Shen Youhuang's lips curled up into a faint smile as she drank another cup of wine.
However, before becoming famous, he still had to win over Feng Wei.
Therefore, Shen Youhuang poured another cup and raised her hand to toast Feng Wei from a distance, saying, "General Feng, Ruo Yu is your younger sister's only child. She has already repented today, so this duke will also follow your strict rules in the future. I hope that the General will still treat Ruyu like his own daughter, and that we should act like a family, fighting against each other and the enemy together. "Isn't it?"
These words were spoken as if he was completely unaware of Hua Ruyu's previous actions, but after so much commotion, Feng Wei could also see that Hua Ruyu had mostly been ordered by Chen Youhuang.
However, he did not crack the wine. Instead, he raised his cup and drained it in one gulp.
He said in a deep voice, "Those are all matters of the past. This Commander also wants the Southern Ning Army to be united and not have any more schemes and plots." However, the small Southern Wilderness was just a motley crowd. The Southern Army had been fighting at the border for many years and had never placed them in their eyes! Prince Cheng also treated it as a strong enemy, so how could he not make our soldiers laugh? "Prince Cheng, do not be afraid. With my Feng family charging in front of you, you can enjoy the military merits."
Feng Wei's mannerism and heroic manner, as well as the many generals that he had won one after another echoed in agreement.
"Yeah, if it wasn't for the spies in the army who colluded with the Southern Wilderness Army and opened the city gates, then even if his Southern Wilderness Army had attacked for a few more months, they still wouldn't have been able to take the Southern Yong Pass!"
"How can we, the soldiers of the Southern Ning Army, be weak?" That group of small thieves in the Southern Wilderness only know how to scheme and trick people.
Shen Youhuang hadn't expected Feng Wei to respond in such a way, and she couldn't help but feel greatly embarrassed when she heard these words.
Although this Feng Wei seemed crude, he also knew how to pick on loopholes in words. He actually said that a dignified Prince Cheng feared the Southern Wilderness and caused others to mock him in his face.
Especially when someone mentioned the day that the Southern Yong Pass was lost, there were spies working on the inside and out, as if implying that Shen Youhuang would fall. He too felt that he had lost a bit of face and couldn't pick it up.
When Hua Ruyu saw that Shen Youhuang's expression wasn't good, she hurriedly spoke up, "Your Highness, your uncle has a straightforward mind, don't blame him. Uncle meant that the prince had a high status and shouldn't be stepped into the fray. The Feng family would stand in front of him to protect him. "Your highness, you only need to plan carefully and make a decisive victory at a distance of a thousand miles.
Shen Youhuang's heart was comforted by the flattering of the flowers, and she found a way out.
He nodded his head slightly and said proudly, "That's right. This duke believes in the courage and invincibility of the soldiers of the Southern Ning Army. This king will not be disappointed."
Although Hua Ruyu's reaction was sharp and quick, and she immediately spoke up for Shen Youhuang to back down, the soldiers all chuckled when they saw that Prince Cheng was afraid of the Southern Wilderness.
After about an hour, Shen Youhuang grew impatient and sat down with Feng Ning Yan, Shen Ling Jue, and the rest. She found an excuse and left the tent.
Seeing that the evil villain had finally left, everyone started to talk loudly again. They started to drink merrily and laugh loudly, taking turns to toast Feng Ning Yan and Shen Ling Jue.
It wasn't easy for Feng Ning Yan to refuse, and she was also happy to have it, so she drank it all.
After a few rounds of drinking, Feng Ning Yan's face was completely red. She looked at Shen Ling Jue, and although he had drunk only a little more than her, he acted like nothing had happened. Even his expression didn't change at all.
She held her head up and smiled at him, reluctant to look away.
It was true that everyone was drunk.
