The ugly girl's nirvana, the disabled prince's love

Chapter 232: The Situation is Critical

Yu Gongyu strode to Ren Jingzhi's side and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Ren, let's go into the main camp and talk in detail."

Ren Jingzhi nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Then, he looked towards Bai Yuchuan, paused for a moment, and said, "Xian... Third Prince, you should come in too."

Ren Jingzhi reacted instantly and realized that in such a solemn and serious occasion, it would be inappropriate to call Bai Yuchuan "brother" casually as usual, so he quickly changed his address.

Then, the three of them walked towards the main camp together. Along the way, the soldiers cast curious glances at them and whispered to each other. The atmosphere was a little subtle, as if they were all guessing what the three of them were going to discuss next.

Yu Gongyu enthusiastically poured steaming hot tea for Ren Jingzhi and Bai Yuchuan, with a happy smile on his face, and said softly: "Please have some tea, both of you." After that, he bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation, with a very appropriate action.

At this moment, Yu Gongyu's heart was filled with anxiety, and his eyes revealed an unconcealable curiosity. He wanted to know how Ren Jingzhi had managed to escape successfully from the enemy camp full of dangers.

After a short pause, he could no longer suppress his inner doubts and immediately asked, "Brother Ren, it was extremely dangerous in the enemy camp that day. How did you escape from that tiger's den?"

Hearing this, Ren Jingzhi turned his head to look at Bai Yuchuan who was sitting quietly beside him, with a look of gratitude and respect in his eyes, and said slowly: "It is all thanks to my dear brother Yuchuan. If it weren't for his help, I would have had a hard time getting out of this."

Upon hearing this, Yu Gongyu quickly stood up, picked up his teacup with both hands, and said to Bai Yuchuan sincerely, "I see. Thank you for saving my brother Ren's life. I, Yu Gongyu, would like to offer you a cup of tea as a token of my gratitude."

After saying that, he raised the teacup to his chest, bowed slightly, saluted to Bai Yuchuan, then tilted his head back and drank the tea in one gulp. His movements were quick and decisive, showing his boldness.

After drinking, Yu Gongyu put down his teacup and asked with a smile, "I haven't asked for your name yet, brother. How should I address you to be more appropriate?"

At this time, Ren Jingzhi on the side spoke again, introducing solemnly: "He is Bai Yuchuan, the third prince of the Western Regions, and my savior. I have known him for a long time and know that he is a man of high character. Brother Yugong can rest assured."

When Yu Gongyu heard this, he was slightly startled, thinking to himself: Is Bai Yuchuan actually the prince of the enemy army? He subconsciously frowned, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

However, seeing how confident Ren Jingzhi was, and thinking of the kindness Bai Yuchuan had just shown in rescuing the prisoners, his doubts were slightly reduced.

Then he turned to Ren Jingzhi and said, "Brother Ren, since you trust him so much, I won't be suspicious. But this matter is indeed a little beyond my expectation."

After Yu Gongyu finished speaking, he looked at Bai Yuchuan again, nodded slightly, with a little more appreciation in his eyes, and said: "The Third Prince came here this time, not only to save Brother Ren, but also to plead for the 20,000 captives. This kind of mind and responsibility is really rare.

Thinking back to Bai Yuhao, he was selfish and only cared about escaping, not caring about the lives of his soldiers. In comparison, the Third Prince was more like a king."

Bai Yuchuan smiled slightly and said modestly: "Prince Xiping, you are too kind. I just did what I thought I should do.

Those 20,000 soldiers are also citizens of our Western Regions. I really can't bear to see them die. I only hope that we can turn hostility into friendship and let the people of both countries suffer less from the chaos of war."

After hearing what Bai Yuchuan said, Umiya Yu couldn't help but feel a little admiration for Bai Yuchuan.

The scene fell into silence for a moment, and Yu Gongyu spoke again, "The Third Prince must have come here for the 20,000 captured soldiers, right?"

Bai Yuchuan nodded slightly and said calmly: "King Xiping guessed correctly. Although they are enemies of your army, they are also soldiers of my Western Regions after all. I really can't bear to see them die. I hope King Xiping will spare them this time for my sake."

Yu Gongyu frowned slightly and said with difficulty: "I, Yu Gongyu, can understand the feelings of the Third Prince. However, these soldiers burned, killed, looted and killed countless civilians on my border, and countless of our soldiers were killed and injured. Such hatred is really hard to let go easily."

Bai Yuchuan sighed softly and said slowly: "I also know what King Xiping said. They were also ordered to do this. If we can save their lives and let them atone for their sins in the future and contribute to the peace between the two countries, wouldn't it be better?

Moreover, if we kill all of these 20,000 soldiers today, it will probably arouse more hatred and revenge from our Western Regions, which is definitely not a good thing for the people of both countries."

After hearing what Bai Yuchuan said, Yu Gongyu couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He knew that Bai Yuchuan's words made sense, but he was really struggling to let go of his hatred and forgive the enemies who had committed crimes.

Ren Jingzhi saw this and advised, "Brother Yumiya, Brother Hanekawa is right. Now that the war is over, we should put peace first. If we can use this time difference to turn hostility into friendship, wouldn't that be a good thing?"

Yu Gongyu raised his head, glanced back and forth between Ren Jingzhi and Bai Yuchuan, and finally nodded slowly.

"Well, since the Third Prince and Brother Ren both said so, I will put aside my hatred for the time being and spare these captives. However, I need to make them swear a solemn oath that they will work for the peace of the two countries in the future. If they break it, I will not forgive them easily!"

Bai Yuchuan was delighted when he heard this. He quickly stood up, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Thank you, King Xiping, for your magnanimity. I would like to thank you on behalf of the 20,000 soldiers for not killing me!"

Yu Gongyu waved his hand and said, "You are welcome, Third Prince. I hope that in the future, as you said, the two countries can live in peace and there will be no more wars."

Just like that, with Bai Yuchuan's hard persuasion and Ren Jingzhi's assistance, a crisis that could have led to greater hatred and disputes was resolved.

But at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent. The footsteps came from far away, as if carrying a breath of panic, instantly breaking the atmosphere that had just been relaxed in the tent.

Then, the messenger rushed in, his face full of panic, his voice trembling with anxiety, and shouted: "Marshal, it's bad, some soldiers in the barracks have strange symptoms, and several soldiers have died. The situation is very critical!"

When the three people present heard this, their faces changed and a trace of solemnity flashed in their eyes. Yu Gongyu stood up suddenly, and the chair behind him made a "creaking" sound. He clenched his fists, his expression grim, and shouted loudly: "Let's go and take a look immediately!"

Ren Jingzhi also stood up quickly and said seriously, "Lead the way, we'll go now!"

Bai Yuchuan also stood up, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of worry, and followed everyone towards the military doctor's tent.

At this time, they were all uneasy, as if a huge stone was pressing heavily on their hearts. They were most afraid that the soldiers would suffer from widespread physical discomfort, which would have disastrous consequences.
