MTL - Make You Happy-Chapter 349 deserter

  Chapter 349 Deserters

  The news that Ning State and Guzi State joined hands to attack the Jie people was like a thunder on the ground, which exploded the royal families of Yuhuan, Nanting, and Canglong.

   Fortunately, after Baili Huaijin returned to China, the royal family of Nanting Kingdom immediately sent a letter of alliance. The two countries have now exchanged credentials and sent envoys to communicate well.

  But after the Nangong brothers and sisters returned from the Guz Kingdom, they seemed to have disappeared without causing any waves in the royal family of Yuhuan. It's just that when Yuhuan Kingdom saw that Ning Guo and Nan Ting had rebuilt their friendship and stopped fighting, they immediately sent someone to send a letter of alliance, and even proposed to send the most beloved seventh princess to Ning Guo for marriage.

   It's just who to marry... that's up for debate.

   Only the Canglong Kingdom, which occupies the northern part, is silent. No one knows what the young emperor is thinking.

   The situation is changing and changing. Without war, the poor people are the most joyful.

  Only the Jie people, no matter what their status is, have been affected by the flames of war and have no place for stability.

  After all, the Ruan family and the Guz people teamed up and led an army of nearly 150,000 to attack the Jie family.

  The soldiers from Guz and the soldiers from Ningguo are as vast as the gurgling stream flowing into the rushing river.

  Ruan Youqing, Gu Changan, and Yuyue were arranged in the middle team. Ruan Ye led the front, and Mu Fei and Ruan Lingjun guarded the rear.

  The fourth prince Li Han and Ruan Youning were still left in Changzhou City to defend the city.

   Li Han has matured a lot mentally after his sacrifice in Xinyang, so even if he failed in his ambition, he didn't have any complaints.

  Because he knew that defending the city was extremely important at this time.

  As for Ruan Youning... She took the initiative to mention staying in the city this time.

  In the vast wilderness, the Jie soldiers who couldn't run were overtaken by the soldiers led by Ruan Ye. All rebels will be killed on the spot, and surrendering and disarming will save them from becoming prisoners.

  Such a resolute blow has greatly hurt the morale of the Jie people.

  And those Jie people who fled with the army were treated differently from the cruel treatment that Jie soldiers would receive after encountering soldiers from Ningguo and Guzi.

  Although their freedom is temporarily restricted, fortunately they will not be threatened with their lives.

  It's just that... it is precisely because of their kindness to ordinary people that some Jie soldiers want to get away with it.

   Fortunately, Ruan Ye and the others are quite accurate in judging people, and it is relatively easy to distinguish soldiers from ordinary people.

However…

   "General, there is an allusion in their Central Plains, which is called "restraining one's salary and tasting one's courage." A handsome man spoke seriously towards the scorching sun.

  At this time, they were forced to hide in a mountain depression west of Chegan River and east of Mangshan Mountain because they were fiercely pursued by Ruan Ye's army.

   Lie Yang was full of hostility, but after the man spoke, he restrained himself a little.

  「Mr. Xin, what good idea do you have?」

  The young man called Xin Junshi gave a strange smile and opened his mouth softly.

  …

   "Master Gu, thanks to you this time, the emperor was able to send so many reinforcements so happily. Our hundreds of thousands of troops should be smoother than before."

  Ruan Youqing and Gu Changan rode a horse each, walking slowly among the crowd.

  Going out of the city this time, Ruan Ye originally wanted to arrange for Gu Changan to stay in the city with the fourth prince. But Gu Changan insisted on following along.

  Although he is not good at marching and fighting, at least he will not hold anyone back.

  Yuyue was originally walking side by side with Ruan Youqing, but when she felt Gu Changan's cold eyes from time to time, Yuyue, who was walking among thousands of flowers, instantly understood what it meant.

  Although she didn't quite understand why this guy was always jealous of women, in order to avoid conflicts, she still consciously slowed down and stayed at the end of the middle line.

  As the sky was getting darker, the team at the front had gradually stopped to set up camp, and the order to stop and rest soon reached Ruan Youqing and the others.

   It's just that when Ruan Youqing was about to get off her horse, she saw that there seemed to be some commotion in the southern team.

  It seems...it is...there are Jie people who have not kept up with the retreat.

  This kind of thing is usually handled by a specific person, and Ruan Youqing doesn't want to get involved too much.

   However, just as she jumped off the horse, someone came to report that he wanted to see her.

  Gu Changan glanced over coldly, and said quietly: "People of the Jie family, why do you want to see our lady from the Ningguo family?"

  The person who came to report was so frightened by Gu Changan's eyes that his legs softened and he knelt down, and said with a mournful face:

"Gu...Master Gu...that person didn't mention his name and must meet our little lady. What he wants to meet is the leader of our team. I think...General Ruan is a bit far away...This kind of trivial matter is not good to startle him..."

  Gu Changan just frowned and was about to continue speaking, but Ruan Youqing grabbed his hand, gave him a gentle look, then turned to the guard and said, "Take us there."

  The man nodded with relief, then turned and led a way through the crowd.

   Gu Changan looked down at Ruan Youqing holding his hand firmly, sighed in his heart, and could only follow up impatiently.

  Passing through the scrutinizing eyes of the crowd, Ruan Youqing followed the man to the south of the team, a place next to a forest.

   A group of Ningguo soldiers were chattering around a man who couldn't see his face clearly.

  Ruan Youqing walked over and saw the battle armor belonging to the Jie people on the opponent's body, his eyes darkened, and he didn't take the initiative to speak.

  Seeing that she was calm and calm, someone already stood up and explained: "Miss, this person... is a deserter from the Jie army!"

   "Deserter?" Ruan Youqing raised his eyebrows, then smiled and walked closer to the other party.

  「Look up and let me see.」

   After saying this, Ruan Youqing felt cold eyes staring at him from behind.

   Looking back, it was indeed Gu Changan's extremely gloomy face.

  Her words...

Ok…

  It is indeed a bit like the opening remarks that dirty people who covet other people's beauty often talk about.

  Coughed lightly to cover up the embarrassment, Ruan Youqing calmed down his voice before continuing: "Is this person going to defect from their Jie clan?"

  Ruan Youqing just finished speaking, when the other party suddenly raised his head, his dusty face was full of stubbornness: "I didn't defect from the Jie tribe! I'm not from the Jie tribe! I...I...I just... came back!"

   "Come back?" Ruan Youqing frowned, bent slightly and looked at the other party seriously.

  The man was pushed and shoved to sit on the ground at some point, and never stood up.

   But even when he was sitting, Ruan Youqing could tell that he was different from other Jie people.

  For example, he does not have the tall figure of the Jie people, nor does he have the deep facial features of the Jie people.

   It looks...it really looks like the people of Ningguo.

   Ruan Youqing's heart moved, and he already had some thoughts in his heart.

  When I took a shortcut from Guz to Changzhou, a small village near Tianmu Mountain... seemed to be in collusion with the Jie tribe, doing some human trafficking business?

  Thinking of this, Ruan Youqing straightened his expression and said slowly: "Are you sold into the hands of the Jie people?"

  The man nodded vigorously after being shocked.
