Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

Successful Persuasion

The whole courtroom became quiet for a second, then flared up in an instant!

Many thought Ye Mu was right, but there were still some who secretly colluded with Min Liang and ran up and spoke up for him!

“Your Majesty, don’t trust this person from Yue Country. He came to drive a wedge!”

Yan’s monarch’s complexion was pale. He stared at Ye Mu and didn’t speak for a while.

“Yeah! Yue Country must want to fight for their friend Mo Country, so they sent someone to persuade us. His Excellency Ming is loyal and clearly our Yan Country’s person, how can he be Li Country’s?!”

“Your Majesty, the reinforcements have been dispatched. It’s life and death between our allied forces and Mo Country, you must not listen to this person and withdraw!”

Various voices flooded the courtroom. Of course, there were some who wanted to help Ye Mu, but Ye Mu was a foreigner, so even if they wanted to, they had to wait until Ye Mu left.

The noise went on for a long time. In the end, Yan’s monarch slowly raised his hand. Everyone fell quiet.

He said, “Although what you said is reasonable, what about the evidence? All of this is your guess.”

Ye Mu’s smile was very calm. “This foreign official does not have evidence. Your Majesty does not have to trust, this foreign official came here only to give advice out of goodwill.”

Yan’s monarch said, “Then let’s do this, this sovereign will ask you a question. If you can answer, this sovereign will agree to withdraw the reinforcements and will not fight anymore.”

One wrong move came a repercussion. For a while, the courtroom filled with “Your Majesty” in disagreeing tones.

Ye Mu nodded. “Your Majesty do ask.”

Yan’s monarch said, “Before, those many cattle and horses that came running from Li Country, their tails caught fire. Wherever they went, places burned, and in an instant seized this sovereign’s frontier city. What’s the reason?”

Ye Mu faintly smiled. “Isn’t this simple?”

She said word by word, “This clearly is testing the waters. If Yan Country still has strength left, then it’s possible to fight back. Until then, Li Country can say these animals aren’t placed by them, that there are people who are framing them. If Yan Country can’t fend the animals off, it shows that Yan Country indeed dispatched all their remaining troops. So storming into Yan Country will be very easy right?”

Ye Mu’s explanation was reasonable. Although it was just a guess, no one in the courtroom was able to give a better explanation!

Li Country was good at literature and not in combat. They wanted to take down Yan Country, but they also worried Yan Country still had strength, so they probed like this. The result could show the number of troops they could dispatch. Brilliant, indeed brilliant!

They weren’t able to think that Ye Mu bought those cattle and horses, that it was Ye Mu that pretended to be a merchant and bought them from the herdsman, that it was Ye Mu who requested a large group of coolies to drive forward the animals, flare up the pots, and set fire releasing them in batches.

Those people didn’t know why Ye Mu wanted to do that. Even when Ye Mu wanted to set fire in front of them, they couldn’t guess the intention.

Ye Mu gave them money anyway. She didn’t bring anyone this time, but she brought a lot of gold!

But Yan Country didn’t need to know this inside story. They just needed to be frightened.

Yan’s monarch was quiet for a long time, and then he suddenly turned around. He sat on his throne as he ordered, “Go! Quickly send someone to summon General Yuan back!”

“Your Majesty! No! How can you believe one side of the story and—” someone ran up to Yan’s monarch, and Ye Mu laughed.

“How is it one side of the story? Isn’t Li’s crown prince still in Yan Country? You just have to tell him, say Li Country has come to attack. Watch his reaction and won’t you know if he’s the real crown prince or not?”

Ye Mu hugged her arms. “But you have to hurry because I noticed Min Liang still has many spies in Yan Country, maybe someone has sent a warning.”

What Ye Mu said was reasonable. Yan’s monarch hurriedly sent someone to look for that crown prince of Li Country. The final result made one apprehensive because, after Li’s crown prince knew that Li Country has started a war, he immediately killed himself.

Yan’s monarch was a cautious person. Once this crown prince was in his vicinity, he was closely guarded and imprisoned, so he didn’t know the news outside. But after he knew, he immediately killed himself? This showed that, regardless of whether this crown prince was fake or not, he had known Li Country would come to attack, and had prepared to sacrifice himself for the country!

After hearing this news, Ye Mu was relieved. Yan’s monarch immediately conferred her as a distinguished guest in a rush and dealt with stopping the war himself. Ye Mu listened to the chaos in Yan Country. She knew she shouldn’t, but she still fell asleep the moment she touched the pillow, tightly closing her weary eyelids. There were also the wounds on her body that had not healed. It clearly showed it had been such an arduous travel for her!

Zhao Country and Li Country immediately knew about the matter of Yan Country urgently calling back their soldiers.

It was said Yan Country wanted an armistice. The first who disagreed was Zhao Country. Their supplies had been delivered to the battlefield. Now the battlefield had also become white-hot. Withdrawing the troops at this moment, wasn’t it a double loss?

But Yan Country’s reply was, it was schemed against by Li Country. So as to not follow the steps of Wei Country, it could only defend itself!

Seeing Yan Country planning to withdraw its troops, Zhao Mingyu knew it was Ye Mu. She didn’t know how Ye Mu did it, but it didn’t stop her admiration for Ye Mu. Then, she finally instigated the courtiers again to cease fire!

Yan Country wanted an armistice because it was defenseless and had no other choice, but Zhao Country was different. It felt it was made a fool by Yan Country. Yan Country was bringing it to death!

Meanwhile, the one who was very dissatisfied with Yan Country was Li Country! Two dogs fought for the bone while the third ran away with it. Li Country had prepared well, but suddenly, it was disturbed in the middle. So that they would not incur losses in the end, just like what Yan Country said, they launched an attack!

At this moment, the allied forces opposing Mo Linyuan were stalled by Mo Linyuan, and the reinforcements Yan Country wanted to withdraw were still on their way, so Li Country attacked Yan Country, like a hot knife cutting through butter along the way! This made the whole Yan Country sink into the midst of immense panic!

But at this moment Ye Mu didn’t know all of this because she had a high fever. Yan’s monarch saw that she was smart and had wanted her to help think of a way, but Ye Mu was burning. How could she think of a way?

There was no choice, Yan’s monarch threw Ye Mu to the imperial physician and let her fever run its course. Ye Mu felt dizzy, there was a feeling like the weight of cloud and mist. She wouldn’t die, right?

But at this moment, she was kidnapped by someone!

Ye Mu wanted to resist at first but was powerless. She also guessed who would be kidnapping her right now. There was no one else other than Min Liang!
