Chapter 3790 Suffering a Big Loss


Chapter 3790 Suffered a Big Loss

The sky was slightly bright, and outside the far north gate of Chang'an City, there were military camps one after another. Soldiers were busy, cavalry patrolled back and forth, and flags were fluttering in the light rain.

Princess Baling's chariot meandered from the north of the city, and the accompanying guards rode on the left and right to protect it. It passed through the endless military camps outside the far gate and went straight to the city gate. Except for being stopped several times by patrol soldiers to check. Apart from the seal, there was no delay.

In the final analysis, this mutiny was just a power struggle within the Tang Dynasty. It was about the reserve position and not about the country. Guan Long's original intention of raising troops was not to usurp the throne, so relatively speaking, except for the two parties involved, the situation was relatively relaxed. For example, as long as the clan and ministers have a "license" issued by the Longmen clan, they can travel in and out of Chang'an without restriction. And for the female relatives of each family, they do not need a license and can travel freely.

Princess Baling has a golden branch and a high status, so she was able to go far to the Youtunwei camp last night under the tense situation. This morning, she was able to pass through the Guanlong military camp and enter from the city gate...

Before arriving at the city gate, some soldiers came forward to question him, but after seeing the seal of Princess Baling handed over by the guards and the conspicuous Jinyang Chai family emblem on the carriage, he was immediately allowed to go.

The carriage slowly drove into the city with the soldiers entering and exiting the city gate from time to time. It passed by Yining and Jincheng. When it arrived at Yanzhengfang, it was blocked by a roadblock set up by the army in front. It had to turn south, as Yanzhengfang was next to it. Heading to the Imperial City, it was now a battlefield, and civilians were strictly prohibited from entering and exiting.

Go all the way south between Liquan and Buzheng squares to reach Xishi, then go east and pass through several squares before returning to the mansion.

As soon as the carriage entered through the small door on one side, Princess Baling opened the curtain and saw Chai Lingwu walking quickly to greet her. Chai Lingwu's eyes were bloodshot, his hair was messy, and stubble appeared. His face was full of exhaustion and decadence, and he had obviously not slept all night...

Princess Baling got out of the car, lowered her eyelids, and walked toward the main hall with the support of her maid without looking at Chai Lingwu.

Chai Lingwu could only follow him, full of questions he wanted to ask, but he also knew that those things could not be discussed here, so he had to suppress his temper and follow suit.

After entering the main hall, the maids offered fragrant tea. Chai Lingwu couldn't wait to repel all the maids and opened his mouth to ask. Suddenly, he saw that the beautiful face of Princess Baling was completely drained of blood and frighteningly pale. She was a beauty who used to be as pale as a chrysanthemum. At the moment, she looked like weeds swaying in the wind. She was so haggard that it made people fall in love. She swallowed the words that were on her lips and said, "My husband has already prepared hot water. Your Highness might as well take a bath first."< br>


After all, the relationship between husband and wife is usually very good. How could he not feel distressed when seeing his wife like this now? What's more, this incident happened because of him, and my heart was filled with guilt.

Princess Baling, who was holding a teacup in both hands and with her head bowed, raised her head Wen Yan, with a sneer on her pale face: "Why, do you think I am dirty?"

Chai Lingwu opened his mouth, speechless.

Is it dirty? It must be dirty. Dislike it? She must be disgusted with it...his woman had been having fun with another man all night long, and even sitting in front of him at this moment was still tainted with body odor that did not belong to her husband. How could that man remain indifferent?

Although he begged her to go, although he felt that the title was more important, and although he once thought that some sacrifices were completely worth it, as long as he took good care of her for the rest of his life, then all of them would be worth it.

However, now, as a man's dignity has been trampled on, he finds that he cannot be treated as ordinary as he imagined...

Just thinking about the fact that Fang Er was like a wolf and a tiger wreaking havoc on Baling last night, even using some despicable way to express his beastly desires, his heart felt like a needle pricking him.

He regretted it a little...

However, the matter has come to this, what is the use of regret?

Princess Baling lowered her head and did not look at him. She took a sip of tea, lowered her head and asked, "Why don't you ask if the matter can be done?"

Chai Lingwu was silent, he was embarrassed to ask, and of course he knew that Princess Baling could speak herself.

As expected, Princess Baling didn't wait for him to speak, and already said calmly: "He promised to make a proposal to the prince, but there is no guarantee that the matter will come true."

"What?!"

Chai Lingwu became furious and stood up from the shore: "Mother! This bastard has eaten everything and refuses to admit his guilt? He is so shameless! I will never end it with him!"

He was about to explode.

I made such a big determination and paid such a big price, only for the second roommate to burp and leave after enjoying the meal? This is simply unreasonable! At the same time, I also blame Princess Baling in my heart for not confirming Fang Er's promise. How could you let him succeed?

But it’s really hard to express such complaints...

Princess Baling raised her head with a joking look in her eyes: "I am the one who suffers, and I am the one who should be dissatisfied. What are you anxious about?"

Chai Lingwu was choked to the point of speechlessness, and veins popped out on his forehead. If Fang Jun were standing in front of him at this moment, he would definitely draw his sword and rush towards him with all his strength.

Princess Baling seemed to be able to read his thoughts and asked: "Why don't you ask me why I took off my clothes and let you pick things without getting a firm commitment?"

Chai Lingwu frowned angrily, these words were too unpleasant to hear.

Princess Baling's pale face turned bright red, she smiled toothily, and her voice was clear and sweet: "Because I am willing."

After saying that, she put down her teacup, stood up and walked to the back hall.

She had a strong desire for revenge in her heart, just to see Chai Lingwu so jealous and regretful. As for why he didn't explain that nothing happened between him and Fang Jun... would it be useful to explain? At that time, in that place, in that situation, which man could withstand the embrace of a woman like her?

It's better to let it be like this, she won't reconcile, but from now on, the husband and wife will break all ties and respect each other as guests.

……

In the main hall, Chai Lingwu was furious. He had sacrificed his wife for the title, but he got nothing?

Bullies don't behave like this!

He walked around the main hall several times and shouted out the door: "Here comes someone!"

The servant quickly stepped inside and said, "What are your orders, sir?"

Chai Lingwu said: "Hurry and prepare your horses, I want to leave the city!"

"Here!"

The servant turned around and went out to make arrangements. After a moment, he turned around and said that the horses were ready. Chai Lingwu strode out, got on his horse, looked up at the swaying rain, and rode out of the house with a group of generals and guards along the long street. Ben Chi, go straight to the far gate and rush to the Youtunwei camp.

At this moment, Chai Lingwu was furious and had to seek justice from Fang Jun!

……

In the early morning, in a government office adjacent to the Neizhongmen on the north side of Taiji Palace, the East Palace and Guanlong launched a new round of negotiations on peace talks.

Liu Ji, dressed in a purple robe, goldfish bag, and a turban on his head, sat in the center in the main seat. Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen and other big officials all retreated, leaving the peace talks completely to him.

Sitting at the bottom was Yu Wenshiji, who was dressed in a brocade robe. In addition, there were three or four officials from both sides. Seven or eight people gathered together. There were constant arguments and the atmosphere was somewhat heated.

Yu Wenshi placed the tea cup heavily on the table, stared at Liu Ji with an unkind look, and said displeasedly: "Liu Shizhong's attitude is not to promote peace talks. Although the East Palace has a slight advantage at the moment, it can still cost 200,000 yuan." The army is still there, and it is hard to say that the East Palace will win. Today, I have come to negotiate. Various conditions have been taken a step back, but Liu Shizhong is still aggressive. Why?"

Liu Ji's face remained as usual and he smiled and said: "The Duke of Ying's words are wrong. The Guanlong army is only over 100,000 in total. Including the private armies of the sects outside the Pass, the total number is no more than 150,000. How can there be 200,000?" explain? Moreover, the larger the number of troops in Guanlong, the more they will face the risk of food shortage... We have been fighting fiercely for half a year, so we know one thing and the other. Now you can use such words to deceive me. You are so dishonest."


He represents the interests of the civil servants of the East Palace, and naturally hopes to promote peace talks. However, now that the East Palace has all the advantages, Guanlong is about to collapse. The situation of both parties has reversed, and there is a huge disparity in strength. The past conditions naturally do not count, and Guanlong must be eliminated as much as possible. The conditions must be tightened, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the prince and the entire East Palace system.

Promoting peace talks and eliminating the mutiny was a great achievement, but he did not want to be reviled by future generations by being written down in the history books by historians such as "Liu Jie was ignorant and showed tolerance to the rebels, as if he was suspected of collaborating with the enemy"... …

So the attitude is very firm.

Yuwen Shiji shook his head. It seems that today's negotiation has come to an end. The East Palace has the advantage, its confidence has doubled, and its urgency for peace talks has also been greatly reduced. If it is done forcefully, the conditions Guan Long will have to pay are too great. Not only are they It will be difficult to enter the imperial court in this life, and there will be no hope for future generations. (End of chapter)
