Chapter 107 It is easy to ask the Buddha and it is difficult to send the Buddha away
Xiao Ling's army was halfway through the battle, but Xiao Chengyun was still resisting.
After holding on for a while, I couldn't hold it anymore.
Xiao Chengyun finally took out Yuan Dai as a hostage and asked Xiao Ling to retreat immediately and return the city.
Xiao Ling actually had no intention of attacking. Although it seemed that his army was strong and invincible, in fact, after such a long journey, the soldiers were already exhausted. If they attacked rashly at this moment, they would probably be defeated.
Xiao Ling always seeks stability in battles and does not take the lives of his troops at risk.
In times of war, if there is no guarantee that there will be no casualties, then he will try his best to reduce the number of casualties to the minimum.
It will be a matter of time before we take over the Jade Kingdom, but not now.
However, he just did not continue the attack. As Xiao Chengyun mentioned, asking him to return the city was simply a fantasy.
If you have already eaten everything in your stomach, why should you vomit it out?
He didn't say anything, just looked at Xiao Chengyun quietly and condescendingly.
Xiao Chengyun couldn't hold his breath after being looked at for two seconds, and finally sent Yuan Dai back on the condition of a truce.
"People must come here intact. If there is any loss, you will understand."
Xiao Ling's tone was colder than an ice blade. Xiao Chengyun felt extremely uncomfortable when he heard it, but what could he do if he felt uncomfortable? Winner or loser, he could only endure it.
Instruct his subordinates to bring Yuan Dai over.
Nearly half an hour later, his subordinates hurried over on horseback. Xiao Chengyun subconsciously looked behind him, but saw no one behind him.
Xiao Chengyun's face turned dark instantly, "Where is she?"
"I asked you to go there, but you came back alone?"
The subordinate hesitated, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with difficulty: "Subordinate, I went to invite you, but she refused to come."
Don't want to come?
Xiao Chengyun's eyes widened.
He is willing to let Yuan Dai go back, but she still refuses to leave?
She actually loves herself so much?
Xiao Chengyun admitted that at this moment, he was a little moved by Yuan Dai, and he was slightly shaken in his heart.
But it was just a hint. He had always liked Su Yuan, and Yuan Dai was just a substitute when Su Yuan was away.
However, Yuan Dai's refusal to leave now is obviously a problem. Since Xiao Chengyun is still under the pressure of Xiao Ling, he really can't force Yuan Dai to come here.
After hesitating for a long time, he suddenly stood up.
He said as if giving alms, "In that case, I will go there in person so that she can give up her mind."
The corner of the mouth of the subordinate standing below twitched uncontrollably. Although he was Xiao Chengyun's subordinate and should be loyal to him, he really wanted to say, Your Highness, are you a little too confident?
When he just went to invite Yuan Dai, he didn't realize that she was reluctant to leave His Highness.
But Xiao Chengyun obviously thinks so, and there is a high probability that he will continue to think so.
He walked out of the tent, then got on his horse, and soon arrived in the imperial city.
After dismounting, he hurriedly walked towards Yuan Dai's palace. Halfway through, he met Su Yuan.
Su Yuan saluted Xiao Chengyun, and then said to Xiao Chengyun: "Can the daughter of the people go with your highness?"
"Sister Yuan Dai is kind to the daughter of the people, and the daughter of the people wants to send her away."
Although she said this, in fact, the reason why Su Yuan came here was just because she heard the news that Yuan Dai refused to leave. She was worried that if Yuan Dai really stayed to fight for Xiao Chengyun with her, it would be bad.
Already.
So after hearing the news, he hurried over and happened to meet Xiao Chengyun.
Xiao Chengyun frowned, "You have repaid her kindness to you long ago. That gold is enough for her to spend her whole life."
Su Yuan shook her head, "But the daughter of the people still wants to see Sister Yuan. The grace of saving her life cannot be measured by money. Sister Yuan loves money, but the daughter of the people cannot only look at money."
Xiao Chengyun nodded, "Then you can go together."
"Don't worry, with this palace here, you won't be wronged."
Su Yuan's expression was moved, and she was even more happy in her heart. Her relationship with Xiao Chengyun had not made any progress before, but now she compared it with Yuan Dai, and Xiao Chengyun still thought she was good.
Su Yuan couldn't help but think of the promise Xiao Chengyun made to her yesterday, saying that he would make her his concubine. After she went back, she tossed and turned all night, not sleeping well. All she could think about was that she was going to marry Xiao Chengyun soon.
.
Becoming Xiao Chengyun's concubine meant that she was a substitute for her identity and status. From then on, she was no longer the lowly businesswoman, and she no longer had to live her life based on other people's faces.
The two of them went to Yuan Dai's palace together.
When the two arrived, Yuan Dai was still eating her meal unhurriedly, showing no intention of leaving at all.
Xiao Chengyun couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "My subordinates said you are unwilling to leave?"
"I know you love me, but this is not your fault."
Yuan Dai:?
Who loves you?
But at this time, she was too lazy to argue with Xiao Chengyun, because she had more important things to do.
She put down the chopsticks in her hand, coughed twice and said, "Want me to leave? Okay."
"only......."
"Just what?"
To be honest, Xiao Chengyun is a little scared now. As soon as he heard Yuan Dai's turn, he intuitively felt that nothing good would happen.
What does she want to do?
"Your Highness captured me, and I couldn't eat or sleep well all day long. How much should I be compensated for my mental loss?"
The moment Yuan Dai's words fell, Xiao Chengyun almost fainted from anger.
He knew it, he should have guessed it.
This woman has long since fallen into the eyes of money, and she will not let go of any opportunity to cheat money.
And Su Yuan on the side was no better than Xiao Chengyun.
She doesn't seem to care about money, but in fact, what she cares about most is money. She has been with Xiao Chengyun for so long, and although she doesn't have a status yet, she has long regarded all Xiao Chengyun's things as her own, including
Xiao Chengyun’s money.
When Yuan Dai asked for money from Xiao Chengyun, it was undoubtedly equivalent to cutting a piece of flesh off her body.
Su Yuan's expression was a little ferocious, and she couldn't help but say: "You have already taken so much money!"
"Besides, Sister Yuan is too open-minded to tell lies, isn't she? In the Jade Kingdom, you have always been serving delicious food and drinks. When did you stop eating well and sleeping hard?"
"You can barely eat enough to be able to eat it, but how do you know if I slept well or not?"
"Don't worry, I look okay on the surface, but I'm pretending to be strong. In fact, I'm panicked and scared in my heart."
"Do you know there is a disease called heart disease? Heart disease is difficult to cure!"
Su Yuan was so angry that her teeth itched, "Then what do you want?"
"What do you want? Didn't I make it clear just now? I want money for medical treatment."
"How much do you want?"
"Any amount is fine. I'm a very talkative person."
Xiao Chengyun:..........
Su Yuan:..........
It was only then that Xiao Chengyun realized something.
It is easy to ask the Buddha but difficult to send the Buddha.
