With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

He must make all the necessary preparations and not allow Shannan Prefecture to lose a single soldier, blade of grass, or a single tree.

At this moment, Princess Mingyue returned.

She ran to Lu Yan anxiously and said:

"Lord Lu, please reconsider! My father has already dispatched 100,000 troops, and they are heading towards Shannan Prefecture!"

"If you insist on starting a war, Shannan Prefecture will be devastated!"

Lu Yan looked at Princess Mingyue's anxious expression and couldn't help feeling moved.

Although this little girl is willful and capricious, she is kind-hearted.

"Your Highness, don't worry. I won't let the people of Shannan Prefecture suffer."

Lu Yan said softly.

"However, since the Beixiang Kingdom dares to invade, I must teach them a lesson!"

"You killed our envoy! You are the one who started the war between our two countries! Lord Lu!"

"War? I'm not afraid of that!"

Lu Yan curled his lips in disdain.

"Since they dare to cause trouble, you must be mentally prepared! Go back and tell your king to wash his neck and wait!"

Seeing that Lu Yan was so tough, Princess Mingyue knew that being tough wouldn't work, so she had to use a soft approach.

She took a deep breath, tried to remain calm, and her eyes moved.

Chuchu looked at Lu Yan pitifully and said softly:

"Master Lu, you are so wise and talented, and Mingyue has long admired you."

"How about you marry Mingyue? Mingyue will surely be able to persuade the emperor to withdraw his troops and turn hostility into friendship."

"In the future, if you join forces with the Beixiang Kingdom, you will surely dominate the world!"

Princess Mingyue's words were a combination of soft and hard tactics.

It not only expresses admiration, but also implies the huge benefits of win-win cooperation.

Lu Yan looked at the delicate princess in front of him and smiled secretly in his heart:

This little girl is quite capable of handling things.

However, I am not so easily tempted by beauty.

He touched his chin, pretending to think seriously, and then replied seriously:

"Your Highness, I need to consider your proposal carefully."

"After all, this is a matter of great importance to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and we cannot afford to be careless."

When Princess Mingyue heard this, she was delighted, thinking that Lu Yan was moved.

She quickly struck while the iron was hot and said coquettishly:

"Lord Lu, what else do you have to consider? Mingyue is truly devoted to you, as the sun and the moon can attest!"

"As long as you agree, Mingyue is willing to do anything for you!"

"Anything?" Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

Princess Mingyue blushed and nodded softly, her voice as soft as a mosquito: "Hmm..."

Lu Yan suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that he fell back and forth, and tears were almost coming out.

Princess Mingyue was puzzled by his laughter and asked with a puzzled look:

"Master Lu, what are you laughing at?"

Princess Mingyue was delighted to see that Lu Yan did not refuse, and continued:

"Lord Lu, Mingyue knows that she is not worthy of you, but Mingyue is sincere to you!"

"As long as you can agree to Mingyue's request, Mingyue is willing to do anything for you!"

As she spoke, Princess Mingyue actually knelt down in front of Lu Yan.

Lu Yan finally stopped laughing and pointed at Princess Mingyue and said:

"Your Highness, are you too naive?"

"Do you think that just a word from you can make me give up the barbarian land I have obtained?"

"You really overestimate your own charm!"

Princess Mingyue's face changed, and she felt both ashamed and annoyed.

She didn't expect that even after she had done so much, Lu Yan was still unmoved.

"Lu Yan! You're going too far!"

Princess Mingyue was so angry that she was shaking all over and cursed at Lu Yan, pointing at his nose.

"Just wait! I will never let you go!"

After saying that, she turned away, and left the government office angrily with the remaining followers.

Looking at Princess Mingyue's departing back, Lu Yan curled his lips into a sneer.

You little brat, you’re too young to fight with me!

……

Princess Mingyue returned to Beixiang Kingdom, feeling angry all the way, with Lu Yan's annoying smile all in her mind.

hateful!

How dare you humiliate this princess like this!

Princess Mingyue bit her lips hard, her heart in turmoil.

But she sighed again immediately.

Thinking of Lu Yan's confident look, a strange feeling came over me.

After returning to the palace, Princess Mingyue did not reveal all her experiences in Shannan Prefecture.

She just said that Lu Yan was stubborn.

She rejected the proposal for peace talks and concealed the fact that Lu Yan had humiliated her.

After all, deep down in her heart, she still had some inexplicable feelings for Lu Yan.

She didn't want her father to be prejudiced against Lu Yan because of his personal grudges.

"Father, Lu Yan is no ordinary man. Under his governance, Shannan Prefecture is truly a paradise on earth!"

"The people live and work in peace and contentment, commerce flourishes, and even the soldiers are well-trained and well-equipped!"

"If we attack rashly, we'll probably suffer heavy losses!"

Princess Mingyue spoke with great emotion, and did not forget to secretly wipe away the tears that did not exist at all.

After hearing his daughter's description, the King of Beixiang frowned and thought to himself:

Is Lu Yan really that powerful?

Could it be that his daughter was bewitched by him and deliberately exaggerated?

"Mingyue, are you sure you didn't see it wrong? Is Lu Yan really that amazing?"

"Father, everything my daughter said is true! Lu Yan is truly a genius!"

"He is not only proficient in statecraft, but also well versed in military strategy. I even think he is more capable than you, my father!"

Princess Mingyue continued to flatter Lu Yan, hoping that her father would give up the idea of ​​attacking Shannan County.

After hearing this, the King of Beixiang felt a little uncomfortable.

I have fought on the battlefield for decades, but my daughter said I am not as good as a young boy?

"Humph! No matter how powerful he is, he's just a small prefect!"

"My Beixiang cavalry is invincible. How could we be afraid of a mere Shannan Prefecture?"

"But father, that barbarian land..."

Princess Mingyue wanted to persuade him again, but was rudely interrupted by the king.

"The barbarian land originally belonged to our Beixiang Kingdom!"

"Now that it's been taken by this brat Lu Yan, how can I just give it up?"

"What's more, if other countries knew that our Beixiang Kingdom was so weak, wouldn't they laugh at us to death?"

Princess Mingyue was extremely anxious when she saw her father's firm attitude.

She rolled her eyes and figured it out.

"Father, I have a plan that will allow our Beixiang Kingdom to reclaim the barbarian land without having to sacrifice a single soldier!"

"Oh? Tell me."

The king became interested.

"My daughter is willing to marry Lu Yan! As long as she becomes the wife of Shannan Prefecture, the barbarian land will naturally belong to my Beixiang Kingdom!"

Princess Mingyue said sincerely.

"Nonsense!" The king was furious and slapped the table.

How can you, a princess of a great country, marry a mere prefect?"

"Besides, what kind of person is Lu Yan? How dare you marry him?"

"How can I let this pig take away my precious daughter?"
