The Ugly Empress by Yun Guo Shi Fei / 丑娘娘 by 云

Chapter 67, vol 2 Chapter 21: Wedding

The Feng State, taking advantage of the matter of sending the county lord to join the marriage sent a large number of troops to set up a camp beside the Shui River to strengthen the control of the border defense.

Xue Jun Liang asked everyone's opinion. Many Imperial court officials also felt that it was not appropriate to start a war now. After all, the Xue State should rest for the first time. If one wants to start a war, you must adjust grain and people’s backing, which will not be ready in one or two months.

Teng Yun also felt that they should pretend to recuperate and secretly deploy troops. “This low Imperial court official heard that there is a mountain near the Peach Blossoms pond at the lower reaches of the Shui River. It's dangerous waters there. Standing on the mountain, you can see a faraway place at the foot of the mountain. His majesty can send troops to the top of the mountain. If the Feng state wanted to sneak attack, it's no doubt that it needs to send the army secretively from the first place. The lower reaches of the Shui River must be the best choice."

Xue Jun Liang nodded and ordered Zhao Lu to lead the soldiers.

Zhao Lu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Emperor Xue would let him go. After all, Xue Jun Liang is the most clearly about his relationship with Emperor Feng. Just thinking about it, he can understand that if Feng Ming's ambition is not enough to make a sneak attack, the first person to fight is him. If he is on his own, it is a good thing.

Teng Yun, who watched Zhao Lu walk out of the Emperor’s Library, the man seemed to be in a trance. In those days in the Feng state, he heard more or less about Feng Ming and Zhao Lu, because he was not Zhao Lu, and his nature was very different from Zhao Lu, so Teng Yun could not understand what Zhao Lu thought. Although Feng Ming did not say, Feng Ming always pretends to be cold and inhuman, but in his mind, Zhao Lu's ability was not for anyone to compare.

Teng Yun sighed and he never thought that he would once contribute to Emperor Xue. He was dedicated to serving the country. Unfortunately, the country was gone, and he was harmed by the people of the Teng state again and again. Teng Yun had to say that as the emperor, Emperor Teng could not speak the same language as Xue Jun Liang.

Xue Jun Liang praised a few words from Teng Yun, but Teng Yun was distracted. Xue Jun Liang called him twice and didn't hear him.

Zhao Lu went back to the mansion to pack up his things, selected a team of elite soldiers, and left in a few days.

The Marquis of Zheng’an noble son's wedding is approaching. Xue Chang Jing looked respectful, saying that he won't be ahead of Emperor Xue. Xue Jun Liang is also happy to take Teng Yun into the palace earlier.

This time, it's still a banquet in front of the Yunfeng palace. In Xu Jun Liang's heart, no one can live in the Yunfeng palace except for Teng Yun, although it's not in the name of the empress.

Teng Yun was taken into the palace a day earlier. He didn't go to the Imperial court session that day. He didn't know that Xue Jun Liang was angry at the Imperial court officials. Because people saw that the Xue state's official had no intention of setting up Teng Yun, they suddenly thought that if he was a concubine, the Phoenix seal would be temporarily placed in Teng Yun who is a man, if he can manage the Phoenix Seal.

Xue Jun Liang sneered and said: “Are you forcing this Zhen? After Zhen wanted to stand up to build the country, you say that there is a violation of the code and quality. Now you are forcing him to take a step back, and say three or four words, is it Zhen's marriage or your marriage?"

When Xue Jun Liang's voice fell, no one dared to speak at all. Everyone went to see Lang Jing. After all, Emperor Xue is convinced by Lang Jing so they can only rely on Lang Jing now.
