Chapter 147: Say little and don't speak, enter Yue State alone

~9 min read 1,742 words

【Tuoba Hongyan lightly brushes the wrinkles of his robe, his heart trembling as he steps into it!】

【Inside the tent.】

【He saw this Lu family Shaobao again, who should be called Prince of Yan now!】

【Possessing the land of five states, with forty thousand iron cavalry under his command, all are brave and good at fighting!】

【Those who are strong in troops and horses should of course be called King.】

【"Tuoba Hongyan pays respects to His Highness the Prince of Yan."】

【He bows and performs a grand salute, his words full of respect, not daring to have the slightest mistake.】

【His purpose for this trip is clear; the letter given by his father is held tightly in his hand, and he presents it slowly.】

【"Specially carrying my father's personal letter, please ask His Highness the Prince of Yan to take a look."】

【Tuoba Hongyan lowers his head, having no intention of persuading, just needing to deliver the letter safely to Lu Chen's hands.】

【That is enough!】

【Yu Xu steps forward at the right time, takes the letter, and hands it to you.】

【The generals in the tent are all curious!】

【Don't know why Tuoba Shuyi would do this, what move Northern Wind will make at this time?】

【The letter paper is lightly unfolded, with only a few words on it—】

【"See you in Yue State, everything will be satisfactory to you after it is done."】

【Tuoba Hongyan secretly speculates on the side what the letter will write; he naturally dares not open it.】

【What will his father, who has always been iron-blooded, say at this time.】

【It can't be words of pleasing and seeking perfection, right?】

【He is very curious in his heart.】

【The generals are also quietly waiting for your decision.】

【At this time... so you choose.】

1. Agree to this matter and attend the meeting in Yue State. (Hint: The harvest is rich, and the matter is resolved.)

2. Disagree with this matter and directly order the capture of Northern Wind. (Hint: The harvest is rich, but it will bury hidden dangers for the future.)

3. Participate personally. (2/3)

The three options on the cauldron slowly freeze, the dark blue text, no longer flowing.

Yu Ke touches his chin and looks at the three options above.

The three options have hints, actually there is nothing to struggle with!

It is obvious.

The third option, 3. Participate personally (2/3).

Can be directly excluded.

Already used twice, only the last one left.

It is particularly precious!

Try not to use this one, choose it at a critical moment.

Options 1 and 2.

Actually, it is also very clear.

Both are rich harvests, so definitely choose the one without any future troubles.

Yu Ke chooses directly.

1. Agree to this matter and attend the meeting in Yue State. (Hint: The harvest is rich, and the matter is resolved.)

With your successful choice.

The simulation continues.

【Tuoba Hongyan does not get a response in the silence; he is secretly anxious in his heart, even though the autumn wind in the northern lands has brought a bone-chilling cold, sweat beads have oozed from his forehead involuntarily.】

【This heaviness not only stems from the cold outside but also from the inner torment!】

【When a great man encounters a heaven-shaking event, why not be anxious!】

【The reason is none other than!】

【Tuoba Hongyan remembers the gaze his father had not looked back for a long time when he sent him off.】

【Tuoba Hongyan feels that the letter in his hand is heavier than a giant mountain, not daring to disappoint his father, he carefully puts it in his bosom.】

【Just as he walks out of the city gate with heavy steps, a figure has already quietly waited on the side.】

【That is a middle-aged man wearing a heavy fur coat, with a slender figure, a handsome but pale face like the first snow of winter, and gentle eyes.】

【He holds a charcoal stove, but cannot stop coughing.】

【Gu Yi!】

【Tuoba Hongyan naturally knows this person, the current Prime Minister of Northern Wind!】

【"Gu Yi pays respects to the Fourth Prince." Gu Yi's voice is slightly weak.】

【Tuoba Hongyan naturally dares not be big, hurriedly collects his mind, and returns the salute respectfully.】

【Tuoba Hongyan knows deeply the status of Gu Yi in the Northern Wind country; whether it is the support of the people or the influence in the court, it is not comparable to ordinary people.】

【Gu Yi's coughing sound seems to be getting more and more urgent, every time it seems like he wants to cough out his heart and lungs, making people worry about his physical condition.】

【"Mr. Gu, are you okay?" Tuoba Hongyan asks with concern.】

【"Old illness, don't trouble the Fourth Prince to worry."】

【Gu Yi lightly waves his hand, barely squeezing out a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the weather is cold, and coupled with the recent national affairs, I am anxious, so the condition has worsened."】

【Although his tone is light, one can hear that his tone is heavy.】

【Tuoba Hongyan is clear in his heart, knowing that Gu Yi's appearance at this moment is definitely not accidental, and there must be important matters to discuss.】

【"Sir, what high opinions do you have, I would like to hear them."】

【"Please teach me, sir!"】

【His words are full of sincerity; this trip to the Yanbei Army was already full of trepidation, if he could have the guidance of the Prime Minister Gu, known as the "Sick White Ze," he would naturally be happy.】

【White Ze, the legendary divine beast, can speak and predict the future, and Gu Yi, although physically ill, has unparalleled wisdom; there are even rumors in the folk that he damaged his lifespan because of leaking heavenly secrets, which undoubtedly adds a bit of mystery and awe.】

【However!】

【Gu Yi's reaction is beyond Tuoba Hongyan's expectation; he first nods, then shakes his head, and finally sighs: "I originally wanted to prepare three brilliant plans for the Fourth Prince, but after thinking about it, I burned them one by one."】

【Tuoba Hongyan hears this, and his doubts are even deeper.】

【Gu Yi's words carry a bit of helplessness: "The problems faced by Northern Wind this time will eventually be in the hands of that Shaobao."】

【"The minister originally didn't want to add too much psychological burden to the Fourth Prince, but this matter concerns the life and death of Northern Wind, so I have to come here to clarify."】

【"The Shaobao of that year, the Prince of Yan of today, the life and death of Northern Wind are all in his one thought."】

【Tuoba Hongyan hears this, he does not think Northern Wind has no power to fight, and at this moment shouts back: "Sir's words are wrong, how can you encourage the arrogance of the enemy and damage the prestige of our Northern Wind?"】

【"In our land of Northern Wind, warriors are like clouds, there are no cowards!"】

【Gu Yi hears this and smiles, asking lightly: "The minister is confiding in the Prince, but the Prince has defenses in his heart."】

【"Does the Northern Wind army really have the confidence to defeat the enemy? Or, does the Fourth Prince feel in his heart that Northern Wind will definitely be able to return triumphantly this time?"】

【"That person on Mount Zhongnan is personally leading the troops! Fourth Prince, how many chances of winning do you think there are?"】

【Tuoba Hongyan had long thought that Northern Wind's chances of winning were not great, thinking that Gu Yi was his father's important minister, he himself could not sing down, what if he told his father?】

【"How many chances of winning..."】

【Tuoba Hongyan can only sigh lightly, thinking after looking at Gu Yi, "With that Shaobao sitting in town, our Northern Wind is afraid it's difficult."】

【Gu Yi's urgent coughing sound does not stop.】

【"The northern lands, after fifteen years of tempering, have become like a sharp sword; today it is out of its sheath, and its momentum will surely be earth-shattering. If Northern Wind really chooses to collide head-on, I'm afraid the result will only be returning to the bitter and cold Liaodong, which is unwise!"】

【"The Emperor is also unwilling."】

【Gu Yi evaluates the Lu Shaobao who is cultivating the Dao while commanding: "This Lu Shaobao, uses troops like a god, sees through fire, and acts without leaks, not burdened by worldly fame and wealth; no one in the world knows his ambitions, such an opponent is truly terrifying."】

【Gu Yi pauses, looks at Tuoba Hongyan, and says earnestly: "Therefore, the minister can only remind the Fourth Prince one sentence—say little and don't speak, say more and make more mistakes."】

【Tuoba Hongyan hears this, nods silently, and doesn't know what he is thinking.】

【After Gu Yi finishes speaking, Tuoba Hongyan turns and leaves.】

【Gu Yi says after turning around:】

【"Fourth Prince, if you can make this Prince of Yan stop the war this time, then Gu Yi is willing to give the Prince a white hat."】

【"Such great merit, an Eastern Palace can naturally sit."】

【Wang plus white, should be Emperor!】

【Tuoba Hongyan's figure pauses, his steps continue to walk out of the city gate, but his hand grips tighter.】

【He returned from being a hostage in the imperial mausoleum, almost having no foundation, unable to compete with several older brothers and younger brothers; if he gets the help of this Northern Wind Prime Minister at this time!】

【Is it possible that he cannot sit as the master of Northern Wind?】

【Tuoba Hongyan comes back to his senses and looks at Lu Chen in the military tent again.】

【The choice of this Prince of Yan seems to concern his life's turning point.】

【You look at Tuoba Hongyan and say faintly: "Go see Tuoba Shuyi."】

【Once these words are spoken!】

【The people in the tent are shocked, but your majesty has long been deeply rooted in the army, and everyone dares not refute.】

【Only!】

【Feng Haiping says in a deep voice: "Prince of Yan, should I bring a thousand elite troops?"】

【Entering Yue State alone is a bit risky.】

【You shake your head!】

【Lu Yu smiles behind you: "I'll accompany you, it doesn't matter!"】

【You have already stood up, Lu Yu follows closely behind!】

【When passing by Tuoba Hongyan, you say:】

【"Hope you don't disappoint me!"】

【Tuoba Hongyan's eyes light up, hurriedly following closely behind.】
