Chapter 113 If you can't be a good guard, you can go back and inherit the throne

Bai Shuyang was tired from fighting and collapsed beside Wei Yu to rest. Lou Lan put a hot towel on his eyes.

Wei Yu finally felt at peace.

"Come on, come on, it's late at night and it's the best time to talk about your heart."

Bai Shuyang didn't say anything, but he leaned over quietly, wanting to hear what Loulan's difficulties were.

"Do you remember when you first met me, you asked me if I had heard of the country of Loulan?"

Wei Yu nodded.

"I'm actually from Loulan. Hundreds of years ago, our country was quite prosperous, with rivers and lakes."

"But later, our country's environment continued to deteriorate. The desert in the northwest continued to expand towards us. The rivers disappeared, the lakes disappeared, and even our country disappeared."

"Our homes are buried under the yellow sand."

"People migrated to other countries, while those who continued to search for water and oases continued to migrate westward."

"but me……"

"As a descendant of the royal family, I was protected and sent to the most stable and peaceful Dànhình."

"For countless days and nights, I have hated my own incompetence. I was unable to protect my country and my people, but instead I was always protected by them. So after coming to Dangdang, I changed my name to Loulan, in order to maintain some connection with my hometown."

Loulan shed tears of regret.

"Joining the palace as a guard, meeting Bai Shuyang, and meeting you were all just coincidences. I didn't expect to gain any intelligence from you. On the contrary, I'm very fortunate to have met you during these dark days..."

"After all, at that time, I couldn't even imagine returning to my hometown."

Wei Yu patted Lou Lan's back, silently comforting him.

Bai Shuyang also rarely calmed down and listened.

This topic is really too heavy.

"Speaking of which, we have you to thank for helping us rebuild our country..." Loulan looked into Wei Yu's eyes and said sincerely.

"Me?" Wei Yu shrugged, looking confused. "I don't know anything. I didn't even know you were the heir to the throne."

"Your emperor seemed to have noticed that I liked you, so he sent someone to check my background, and we reached a deal."

Wei Yu nodded, "This is indeed what Si Muzhen would do... What?"

"You like me???" Wei Yu was stunned, "What the hell."

Lou Lan scratched his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Such a reaction is too hurtful."

"Sorry~~"

"It hurts even more."

Wei Yu: “…”

Is this person looking for trouble?

Bai Shuyang took off the towel, pointed at Loulan and said angrily: "I treated you as a brother, but you really want to be my master's wife."

Lou Lan pushed the man back and said, "You said this many years ago. Apply it well. It's good for your eyes."

While Wei Yu was still struggling with how to give Lou Lan the "good guy card", Lou Lan spoke again, "You don't have to feel pressured. When I accepted Si Mu's deal, I had already lost the qualification to like you."

"I gave up on you."

Wei Yu is not a pretentious person, so this is of course the best thing to do.

The most pressing matter now is, "What deal did you reach with Si Muli?"

Gossip is the most important thing.

"He helped me restore my country, sent people to help me find water, and taught us farming techniques. All I have to do is give up you."

"You also know the person who helped us find the water source. He's your second uncle, Wei Jianjie."

He is worthy of being the chosen water conservancy man.

"I was suspicious at first. He must have been secretly planning something. It turned out to be all for today. This guy has a very sharp vision."

Wei Yu blinked his clear eyes, "Why today?"

"I know I'm a man who repays favors and is ambitious. He's offering me this bargaining chip, isn't it because he wants me to become stronger in the future, and ideally have a certain say among the nations of the Western Regions? That way, whether it's submission or peace talks, it will ultimately bring about peaceful development for the Western Regions and Da'an."

"Besides, even if I controlled the entire Western Region, I would not touch Dazhen because you are Dazhen's queen."

Wei Yu shook his head vigorously. According to Si Mu's love-sick brain, he might really just want to get you away.

"Today, I have fulfilled his wish and persuaded the thirty-six nations of the Western Region to surrender. This is both a way of repaying his kindness and also to seek protection for the nations of our Western Region."

"Although the Xiongnu's eldest prince wants to cooperate with us, he is constantly encroaching on some small countries in the Western Regions. Their intention to move westward is very obvious. They talk about cooperation, but they just want to see us and Da'an fight so that they can reap the benefits. The Xiongnu are not reliable at all."

"In order to survive, we can only compromise and pretend to cooperate with them."

Bai Shuyang seemed to have discovered something. "Logically speaking, if your negotiations failed, the war wouldn't have reached the border between Dazhen and the Xiongnu. You're cooperating with the Northern Xiongnu regime headed by the Crown Prince, right? This is the Xiongnu's southern regime."

Lou Lan glanced at Wei Yu, and when Wei Yu looked back at him, he quickly turned his head to look at Bai Shuyang, "The fighting is going on, and they're coming over here."

Bai Shuyang nodded slightly, put the towel back over his eyes, and slumped back in his chair.

Judging from Loulan's well-informed status, they probably knew that Atina had kidnapped Wei Yu, so they led their troops to attack.

Since Loulan didn't want Wei Yu to know, there was no need for him to say it.

"The current situation is that our emperor is injured, so all matters have to be put on hold."

This kind of thing still needs the final approval of Si Muqin, the emperor.

"We can wait. After these battles, both the Northern and Southern Xiongnu have been severely weakened. We won't be disturbed for quite some time."

"That would be the best." Wei Yu thought for a moment and said, "Please help me negotiate and appease the people in the Western Regions. I will go back to the camp now to see how the emperor is doing and make plans."

Wei Yu handed over all matters to Yuan Yiyan, and rushed to the camp with Bai Shuyang.

Si Muzhen's face was pale, his upper body was wrapped in circles of bandages, and the bloodstains on his body looked very horrifying.

"Why is there still blood seeping out?"

It has been three days since he and Bai Shuyang left. During these three days, she had no time to ask about Si Muzhen's injuries in detail. She only knew that Si Muzhen's arrow had been pulled out and she was not in danger of life.

The old military doctor replied, "Your Majesty, you had a few high fevers, but they're gone now. The bleeding a few days ago was normal..."

"When will the emperor wake up?"

"I don't know. If it's fast, it'll be a few days. If it's slow, it'll take a month."

Wei Yu was so scared that he thought the old military doctor would say: If it’s slow, it may take three to five to seven years.

Wei Yu held Si Muzhen's cold hand and said, "Bring in another charcoal brazier."

"Yes." The little soldier stumbled out to carry the charcoal brazier.

Wei Yu looked at the young soldier, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, and asked, "Are children this young being recruited?"

"Generally speaking, sixteen is the age to enlist. This one is an orphan rescued during the war, so he's a special case. So he usually follows me around and does some logistical work, like making medicine or taking care of the wounded."

"Alright." Wei Yu spoke again, "How is Prince Ning?"

The military doctor's expression turned serious. "Prince Ning is not feeling well..."

Wei Yu took a deep breath and said, "Go ahead."

"The man was saved, but due to excessive blood loss, he has become a living dead."

In other words, Si Muzhou became a vegetable...

"However, Prince Ning has a very strong willpower, and he might be able to wake up."
