Chapter 854: Good News from Boulder City
Not long after, Shen Xiangning stared at the steamed bun in front of him in stunned silence.
To be precise, this can no longer be called a steamed bun, right? Whose steamed buns are bigger than your face?
Moreover, there were beef, roast chicken, etc. inside, and the water provided to the prisoners was also turned into wine.
Wu Yuan waved his hands to the two jailers approvingly, "You guys can be taught. Although you two are a little stupid, you are still obedient. Just go ahead and do what you have to do."
The two jailers also quickly left as if they had been granted amnesty.
Regarding Wu Yuan's special steamed buns, the two of them felt deeply helpless. They had never seen such a rude request.
Fortunately, strictly speaking, it is indeed just a steamed bun, just a little too big.
After Wu Yuan had eaten and drank enough, he was in a good mood.
Shen Xiangning couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid?"
"If fear is useful, of course I will be afraid, but you also know that fear is useless, so what are you doing to add trouble to yourself?"
After hearing this, Shen Xiangning also felt that it made sense, but she didn't know why it was a bit weird.
"Will Emperor Wu let you out today?" Shen Xiangning asked again.
"Of course not. Emperor Wu will not give up until he is locked up for ten days and a half." Wu Yuan said with certainty.
When Shen Xiangning heard that he would be detained for so long, he couldn't help but worry about Luo Zhiqin's safety.
Huo'er had said before that if it was delayed for too long, Luo Zhiqin would really die.
So Shen Xiangning had to bravely say to Wu Yuan: "Your Majesty, I beg you to think of a way to send someone to Longjiang Mansion to rescue Zhiqin."
Wu Yuan shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to save, but if I want to save Luo Zhiqin, I'm afraid it's impossible without hundreds or thousands of people. You should know the situation in Longjiang Mansion better than me."
When Shen Xiangning heard what Wu Yuan said, she felt disappointed and also looked sad.
"Then... what should I do? What should I do?" Shen Xiangning, who was originally strong, suddenly burst into tears.
Wu Yuan sighed softly, "It's useless to worry. If you really want to save people, just heal your injuries quickly. As for Luo Zhiqin, she shouldn't be short of time. Otherwise, Huo'er won't be able to Give you hope."
Wu Yuan knew Huo'er relatively well.
"Come on, after dinner, it's time to take medicine." Wu Yuan naturally swallowed the pill again.
Shen Xiangning was shocked. She didn't say she wouldn't take it, so she didn't need to give medicine in this way.
But before she could open her mouth, her mouth was already blocked.
After taking the medicine, Shen Xiangning also blushed, and then whispered: "Next time, I can take it myself."
"What did you say?" Wu Yuan pretended not to hear clearly.
Shen Xiangning opened her mouth, but finally gave up. Since Wu Yuan liked it, who did she have to refuse, "I didn't say anything."
The corners of Wu Yuan's mouth raised. He was a little glad that Emperor Wu didn't lock him up here alone, and that Shen Xiangning could still pass the time. This was probably the only fun here.
In the court hall, Emperor Wu was sitting on the dragon chair, and the ministers below were still kneeling.
Obviously Emperor Wu used this method to make these ministers surrender to him again.
The ministers complained in their hearts, but they could only bear it silently, but they missed Wu Yuan.
But when I thought that Wu Yuan was probably even worse off than them at the moment, I couldn't help but feel a lot better.
"When there is something to do, start the court, and when there is nothing to do, leave the court."
The eunuch's voice resounded throughout the hall, where Emperor Wu sat expressionless.
The ministers are most concerned about Wu Yuan's affairs now, and other matters are trivial matters that are not worth mentioning. Not to mention, at this time, they would not dare to report anything to Emperor Wu.
Prime Minister Wen saw that Emperor Wu still had no intention of interrogating Wu Yuan, so he smiled bitterly without making a sound.
But just when Emperor Wu was about to retreat, shouts came from outside.
"Good news from Boulder City!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and some even couldn't believe their ears and wondered if they heard it wrong.
Boulder City is now surrounded by a hundred thousand troops from the Tianli Kingdom and is almost becoming a dead city. Where can the good news come from?
Emperor Wu attached great importance to Dawu's empire and immediately announced his intention to do so.
"Your Majesty, there was a great victory in Boulder City. The general killed 50,000 enemies and forced the Tianli Kingdom to withdraw beyond the three cities on the border."
This sentence suddenly exploded in the hall like thunder.
Even Emperor Wu suddenly stood up and shouted happily, "Okay!"
Everyone thinks that the destruction of Boulder City will happen sooner or later. Even Emperor Wu thought so before.
At the same time, he also understood that once Boulder City was defeated, the spirit of the great warriors would definitely be dampened, and a million-strong army from the Tianli Kingdom in southern Xinjiang would directly attack.
Therefore, the Battle of Boulder City is particularly important.
But it makes people feel helpless. They never expected that they would receive good news from Boulder City today.
Prime Minister Wen and all the ministers also shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
This also meant that whether Prime Minister Wen and these ministers were willing or not, Emperor Wu had to accept the return of Emperor Wu to the throne.
After Emperor Wu was in a good mood, he was very pleased with these ministers.
"Everyone loves you for your peace of mind."
"Let it be known to the world that the battle at Boulder City will enhance the prestige of our country, the general's bravery, and reward the three armies." Of course, Emperor Wu would not give up this best opportunity to boost morale.
Seeing the joyful look on Emperor Wu's face, Prime Minister Wen seemed to have seen that Wu Yuan's affairs might turn around.
This good news couldn't have come at a better time.
At this time, the victory report was also presented to Emperor Wu, which contained the specific details of this battle.
Emperor Wu was also happy to see how General Xin fought back the enemy, but the name mentioned most often was Xin Ruyan's name.
What's even more surprising is that after Xin Ruyan arrived at Boulder City, General Xin actually retired as a side general and gave up the position of chief general to Xin Ruyan.
Emperor Wu's face gradually darkened, and he really couldn't be happy now.
It not only mentions that Xin Ruyan was brave and good at fighting, but also used a series of strategies to trap and kill tens of thousands of enemy troops. Such strategies can be said to be better than those with skills.
But this was not what Emperor Wu wanted to see. Emperor Wu naturally knew about Xin Ruyan's trip to Boulder City right away.
But at that time I just thought it was nonsense and didn't think Xin Ruyan could achieve anything.
Now it is proven that he was wrong. How can Emperor Wu feel better?
Not to mention, Xin Ruyan's rise and power are also a threat to him.
If he was just the Supreme Emperor, he would naturally be happy like this, but now that he is sitting on the throne again, it is the complete opposite situation.
Prime Minister Wen had been observing Emperor Wu's expression, and he could guess something, and he was making calculations in his mind.
