Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 455

Murong Yu was already worried, and the generals were still furiously criticizing Yun Xiyue, which annoyed him. "What's all the noise about? She hasn't been captured yet, has she? A-Yue is the future empress. She came to the border to escort supplies."

"Besides being the future empress, she is also the young master of the Yun family."

General Wu said, "But Your Majesty, she is, after all, a weak woman, and now she is the future Empress, with a very special status. The enemy is eyeing her covetously. If she is captured and used to threaten Your Majesty, it will likely cause a lot of trouble."

"We'll talk about that later. Right now, the news is just that it was an assassination attempt, but there's no result yet. I believe A-Yue won't be captured."

"Instead of worrying about things that haven't happened yet, we should think about how to break the current deadlock."

General Wu and the others had no choice but to shut up.

They were all subordinates of the Zeng family, so naturally they were dissatisfied with Yun Xiyue, the future empress.

But Murong Yu's words were beyond question, and no one dared to refute them to his face.

General Chu said, "It is a fact that we are short of troops now. There is no better way than to recruit new soldiers and make up for it as soon as possible."

"The new recruits lack combat experience."

That would just be suicide.

"The only way is to win over other countries, like the Great Wei Kingdom."

"But the Great Wei Kingdom's requirement is that the emperor must marry their princess as his empress."

Murong Yu went to ask for reinforcements at the beginning, but they couldn't reach an agreement.

The Great Wei Kingdom was strong and well-equipped.

The reigning emperor was a wise ruler who disliked warfare and only wanted to manage his own small territory.

The situation was relatively peaceful, and the other side felt there was no problem with lending troops, since they were neighbors and interdependent.

However, Murong Yu could not accept the demands of the Great Wei Kingdom.

After discussing it for a long time, no result was reached.

At this time, news arrived.

"Your Majesty, good news."

"The third prince of the Southern Qiang Kingdom has been captured alive by our army."

Murong Yu's eyes brightened slightly. "Who captured Lin Huangjin alive?"

"It must be General Zeng Xiao," someone said.

"Yes."

"General Zeng Xiao is brave and skilled in battle, and invincible. What is it to capture a mere third prince of the Southern Qiang Kingdom?"

Murong Yu also thought it was Zeng Xiao.

"Your Majesty, Miss Yun has arrived outside the military camp."

Upon hearing this, Murong Yu was secretly delighted and hurried to pick her up.

Many people are curious about Yunxi Yue.

They all came together to welcome them.

"Ayue!"

Yun Xiyue stepped out of the carriage. "Your Majesty."

Upon seeing her in full armor, Murong Yu paused for a moment, but still quickly stepped forward.

"Here's a gift for you!" Yun Xiyue jumped off the carriage and had the people inside thrown out.

"The third prince of the Southern Qiang Kingdom?"

Murong Yu was surprised, "You captured him?"

Yun Xiyue saw him and was very happy. "Mm."

She began planning as soon as she arrived in Sanhe Town.

She went to Sanhe Town on purpose.

By using his whereabouts, he lured Lin Huangjin out.

"General Zeng, did she really capture the third prince of the Southern Qiang Kingdom alive?"

Some people don't believe it.

Zeng Xiao stepped down from the carriage, his face not looking too good. "Yes, Miss Yun is quite capable; even this general was fooled by her."

"General Zeng Xiao also deserves some credit," Yun Xiyue said with a smile.

"I dare not accept such praise. I was injured, and it was only thanks to Miss Yun's help in healing me that I was able to save my life," Zeng Xiao said with a faint smile.

Murong Yu glanced at Zeng Xiao, then at Yun Xiyue, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable. "A-Yue, come with me."

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Yun Xiyue noticed his unhappiness. "I didn't tell you I was coming, are you angry?"

Upon arriving at his tent, Murong Yu turned around, his expression softening. "I'm not angry. Take off your armor first!"

The armor was too heavy for her physique to withstand.

Yunxi Yue had wanted to take it off for a long time; she was indeed very tired.

"Go with Xiaowei to see what I brought." She couldn't wait to show him her haul.

Murong Yu thought that capturing Lin Huangjin alive would be a pleasant surprise, but he didn't expect there to be more.

They went together after she changed out of her armor.
