Chapter 431 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 42
After Zhou Shengchen bandaged Ling Xi, Hong Xiaoyu and Zhou Tianxing also came back from the city, followed by Yang Shao.

Hong Xiaoyu and Zhou Tianxing: "Master, I have already arranged everything in the city."

Yang Shao knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said to Zhou Shengchen: "General Yang Shao pays respect to Your Highness. Thank you and Miss for saving Yongcheng from danger this time. I am very grateful."

Zhou Shengchen: "I will leave tomorrow and give you 20,000 troops to defend the city."

Yang Shao did not respond, but said: "No, I plan to leave tomorrow, thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

This time, it was Zhou Shengchen and others' turn to be surprised.

He asked, "You're leaving? Why?"

Yang Shao's eyes drooped, and he looked desperate: "I am disappointed and don't want to defend the city for Northern Chen anymore."

Ling Xi understood what he meant.

When Yongcheng was besieged this time, the governor of Yongcheng sent a total of nine people to seek help from all parties.

But the other eight people all died, and only he who came to Xizhou survived.

Ling Xi and Xie Yun brought Wang Jun to Yongcheng without saying a word.

In this chaotic world, everyone wants to protect themselves, and some even want to collude with others.

No one saw the suffering of ordinary people. The land of Northern Chen was filled with smoke of war and years of fighting had left the land in ruins.

There are too few people who truly care about the people.

When Ling Xi thought of this, any hesitation he had before disappeared into thin air.

That decision was completely firm.

Ling Xi stared at Yang Shao for a long time, wondering whether she should drag this man to Nanxiao. After all, he was a powerful general and could be a powerful general for her brother.

After realizing this, Ling Xi looked at Yang Shao with a much kinder look.

After all, he would be the worker who would work for her and her brother in the future.

Be nice to him now so that he can work diligently for Nan Xiao in the future.

Yang Shao solemnly promised Ling Xi: "Miss Ling Xi, you saved Yongcheng this time. I owe you one. If there is a chance, I will definitely repay you."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Standing there, Hong Xiaoyu and Zhou Tianxing looked at each other.

When it was night, Ling Xi sneaked out of the governor's mansion when no one was paying attention.

The moonlight was hazy, and not far outside the governor's mansion, there was already a person waiting.

When Ling Xi arrived at the agreed place, he saw Yang Shao who was already there.

She smiled and said, "I knew General Yang would come."

Yang Shao was particularly curious about the fact that Ling Xi secretly sent him a message.

He immediately asked, "Miss Ling Xi, why did you ask me out in private?"

Ling Xi didn't beat around the bush and answered directly: "General Yang is disappointed with the Northern Chen Dynasty. I wonder if you are willing to change to a better position?"

Yang Shao frowned and asked curiously: "I wonder what the girl is talking about..."

Ling Xi smiled slightly: "Nan Xiao."

"Are you from Nan Xiao?"

What Yang Shao was most concerned about was not that Ling Xi asked him to go to Nanxiao, but that Ling Xi was actually from Nanxiao's side while he was in the Nanchen King's army.

"If you think so, that's fine."

Ling Xi couldn't explain where she was from. She grew up in Northern Chen, but her brother now was the emperor of Southern Xiao, so she was considered a Southern Xiao person.

Ling Xi asked again: "I wonder if General Yang would consider my proposal?"

Yang Shao: "I am from Northern Chen. Although I don't plan to work for Northern Chen anymore, I don't plan to surrender to the enemy either."

Ling Xi raised the corners of his lips slightly, outlining a sarcastic arc: "General Yang, do you think that the current Northern Chen still needs assistance? In the current Northern Chen, Qi Zhenzhen is in power, and there are also Zhao Teng, Liu Yuan, Liu Wei and others who are fighting for power and profit by any means. The little emperor is even more helpless. In addition to the Nanchen Palace, are there other people who can be used?" "Or, are there other people who care about the suffering of ordinary people? In this case, why can't General Yang choose another wise leader? General Yang should have heard of the current emperor of Nanxiao. General Yang is probably also aware of the changes in Nanxiao over the years. Do you think that Northern Chen is capable of fighting against the current Nanxiao?"

Yang Shao was silent.

He couldn't say anything to affirm Bei Chen. He knew Bei Chen very well from his experiences over the years.

As for Nanxiao, earth-shaking changes have taken place since the current emperor Xiao Wen came to power.

Not only did higher-yield crops and various new technologies emerge, but policies toward the people were also more favorable.

In addition, Emperor Nan Xiao acted ruthlessly and decisively. He imprisoned the previous Emperor Nan Xiao, and his brothers were either killed or disabled by him, without causing any waves at all.

He controlled the army and after taking office, he suppressed the dishonest actions in various parts of Nanxiao. Therefore, the regime in Nanxiao was very stable.

No matter from which aspect, the current Northern Chen is far inferior to Southern Xiao.

Yang Shao thought about it for a while, and asked curiously: "I wonder who this girl is to Nan Xiao? Could she be my boss?"

"Emperor Nanxiao's younger sister, the Princess Guarding the Nation, I wonder if this identity is enough."

Ling Xi lightly dropped a bomb at Yang Shao, which made Yang Shao dizzy.

Yang Shao had heard of this Princess of Nanxiao.

I heard that after Emperor Nan Xiao came to power, he conferred the title of Princess Zhenguo on one of his sisters.

However, what is strange is that Emperor Nan Xiao originally did not have a biological sister.

This sister who appeared out of nowhere made everyone in Nan Xiao curious.

But what is even more strange is that almost no one has ever seen this princess who guards the country. No one knows her name, her age, or what she looks like.

If Emperor Nan Xiao had not often proposed various policies and ideas in the name of the Princess Zhenguo, most people would have thought that this princess did not exist and was a figment of the Emperor Nan Xiao's imagination.

But who can tell him why Emperor Nanxiao's sister would appear in King Nanchen's army?

He is also trusted by everyone in King Nanchen's army, and even has a relationship with the young King Nanchen.

Yang Shao is not blind. He sees clearly the relationship between Ling Xi and Zhou Shengchen.

Zhou Shengchen has deep feelings for Ling Xi.

Ling Xi may not be without feelings for Zhou Shengchen.

At this moment, Yang Shao wanted to give a thumbs up and say "awesome" to Ling Xi in front of him.

He was even able to defeat the young King Nanchen, he was truly amazing.

Ling Xi: "So what does General Yang think?"

Yang Shao clasped his fists and said, "I have a request, young lady, please agree to it."

Ling Xi shook his head: "If you are talking about Liu Shanchang who betrayed his country and surrendered to the enemy, then I can tell you that it is impossible. I can't agree to your condition."

It was when Ling Xi asked the secret guards to follow Yang Shao that he discovered that Yang Shao was secretly observing the prison cell, and only then did he know that Yang Shao wanted to save Liu Shanchang.

Yang Shao raised his voice: "Why?"

Ling Xi stared at Yang Shao, and that sharp gaze was like a knife stabbing into Yang Shao's body.

"Yang Shao, you really don't know why?"

"Liu Shanchang betrayed his country and led the northern barbarians to attack Yongcheng, causing the governor of Yongcheng to die for his country. Just for this reason, he is worthy of death thousands of times in my service. Not to mention, the northern barbarians he led caused so many people in Yongcheng to lose their lives. I didn't kill him immediately, which means I let him live longer."

Ling Xi's words made Yang Shao lower his head in shame.

"But he helped me a lot." Yang Shao retorted guiltily.

Ling Xi smiled sarcastically: "Is the favor of helping you worth the lives of so many innocent people? If we let him go, who will be responsible for those people? Will they lose their lives in vain?"

"Yang Shao, I value you because you are a person who wants to consider the people, but if you can't tell right from wrong, I don't have to consider you."

Yang Shao lowered his head and remained silent.
