Chapter 175: Sending Diao Chan away and meeting Xun Yu

The deputy general was also confused, "Your Highness, Miss Diao Chan said she came to thank you, I...I don't know..."

Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "Let her in."

A moment later, Diao Chan walked into the big tent gracefully.

I saw that she was wearing a simple white dress today, her long black hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin, and her face was not made up, but she looked even more charming and pitiful.

"I am Diao Chan, and I am here to see His Highness."

Diao Chan bowed gracefully, her voice soft but firm.

"Miss Diao Chan, there is no need to be so polite. Please stand up quickly."

Chu Yangxu helped her up and motioned for Diao Chan to sit down and talk, "I wonder why you came here today, young lady?"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for avenging me!"

Diao Chan knelt on the ground again, her tone firm, "Zhao De abused his power to bully people and harm the people. Now he has finally been caught by the law. I am so happy! All this is thanks to your highness!"

"It's just a trivial matter, nothing worth mentioning."

Chu Yang smiled faintly, but he was a little confused in his heart, "Miss, did you come here just to say thank you?"

"Your Highness is wise. I have nothing to repay you for..."

As Diao Chan spoke, her voice gradually became lower and her cheeks flushed, "I am willing to be your concubine and serve you to repay your great kindness!"

This statement came out.

Chu Yang was stunned. He never expected that Diao Chan would make such a request.

"This……"

Chu Yang was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing that Chu Yang didn't say anything, Diao Chan thought he was unwilling to accept it, and she panicked and said quickly:

"If Your Highness does not wish, I will leave now..."

As she said this, she was about to stand up, but was held back by Chu Yang.

"Girl, what are you doing?"

Chu Yang looked at Diao Chan, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

"I……"

Diao Chan bit her lip, tears glistening in her eyes, "I just want to repay your kindness, Your Highness."

Chu Yang looked at the pitiful woman in front of him and couldn't help but feel moved.

He could see that Diao Chan was sincere.

However, he already has a wife. If he takes a concubine, wouldn’t it be unfair to his wife?

Moreover, Diao Chan has a special identity. If she is kept by his side, will it cause unnecessary trouble?

Chu Yang fell into deep thought.

Just then, there was a sudden noise outside the tent.

"Report! Your Highness, urgent news from Nanling City!"

A messenger ran in in a panic.

"Nanling City?" Chu Yang was startled and asked quickly, "What happened?"

"Your Highness, we have discovered that an army is gathering in Nanling City, but we cannot see the flags clearly. Please make the decision, Your Highness."

"what?!"

Chu Yang's face suddenly changed. He didn't expect Chu Zhenzhou to come so soon, but if this was Chu Zhenzhou's army, he would not miss the flag.

"Probe again and report again!"

"promise."

The messenger bowed and left.

Chu Yang's brows were furrowed at this moment, and he was obviously very concerned about the news from Nanling City.

Then he looked at Diao Chan and said, "Miss, please go back first. I will visit you after I finish my military affairs."

Diao Chan felt a tightness in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything more, so she had to get up and leave.

"Then... I will wait for good news."

After saying that, she looked at Chu Yang deeply. In her eyes, there was expectation, worry, and a hint of imperceptible hope.

But she said nothing in the end. She just turned around and left silently, leaving Chu Yang with a lonely back.

Chu Yang felt mixed emotions as he watched Diao Chan leave.

It's not that he is indifferent to Diao Chan's beauty, but now that his great cause has not been accomplished, he really has no time to care about personal affairs.

"Well, I'll compensate her after I pacify the world."

Chu Yang sighed, put these worries behind him, and began to think about the current situation.

The appearance of an unknown army in Nanling City is no small matter.

Chu Zhenzhou's army is nearby. If they take the opportunity to attack, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Someone come here!" Chu Yang shouted in a deep voice.

"What do you want, Your Highness?" A personal soldier immediately flashed into the tent and knelt on one knee.

"Pass the order down, all troops on alert, strengthen patrols, and report any situation immediately!"

"As ordered!"

The personal soldiers took the order and left, but Chu Yang still had a frown on his face.

He had a premonition that a great war was about to happen.

At this time.

The voice of the personal soldiers was heard again outside the tent.

"Your Highness, a man named Mr. Xun Yu is seeking an audience."

“Oh? Here you are. Please come in!” Chu Yang’s eyes suddenly lit up and he said quickly.

Soon, Xun Yu walked into the big tent under the introduction of his personal soldiers.

"Your Highness, I am Xun Yu, your Highness."

"Sir, there is no need to be so polite. Please take a seat."

Chu Yang quickly stood up to greet him, his face full of smiles.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xun Yu smiled slightly and sat down opposite Chu Yang.

"Sir, are you here for the matter of Nanling City?"

Hearing this, Xun Yu was confused. Why did he have to offer advice as soon as he arrived?

But seeing Chu Yang's excitement, he said something that sounded good but was useless, "Your Highness has now occupied Qiongzhou and defeated Japan. Your prestige is unmatched."

"It's just that this place is so big that it's hard to avoid losing sight of the big picture. We need to make plans early."

"What you said is absolutely true."

Chu Yang nodded in agreement, "But my foundation is not yet solid, I don't know how to start, please teach me, sir."

"Your Highness is gifted, intelligent, wise and brave. With the assistance of Wang Meng, Zhou Yu, Zhang Liao and other wise and brave generals, why should you worry about not accomplishing great things?"

Xun Yu continued to perfunctorily answer, but there was a hint of probing in his tone, "I just wonder if Your Highness has made up his mind, what kind of world do you want?"

Chu Yang was slightly stunned. He had never thought about this question.

Everything he did before was just to protect himself.

Now that he no longer needs to protect himself, he feels a little confused.

"What kind of world is this question..."

Chu Yang hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head, "Sir, I really haven't thought about it."

Seeing this, Xun Yu's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he continued.

"Your Highness, if you want to unify the Great Zhou, recover the Xiongnu, Japan, Yuenan, and even Malacca, I am willing to sacrifice my life for you!"

At this point, he paused, and his tone became more passionate: "If Your Highness wants to go west, unify the Western Continent, and establish a foundation that will last forever, I will not refuse even if I die!"

Xun Yu spoke with great passion, as if the vast territory was within his grasp.

But after hearing this, Chu Yang couldn't help but take a breath and almost choked on his own saliva.

"Sir, you are talking without any hesitation. It is not so easy to unify the world!"

Chu Yang said with a bitter face, cursing in his heart.

Isn't Xun Yu a fool? He wants to unify the world as soon as he comes to power, why doesn't he go to heaven?

"I have fought against the Xiongnu barbarians for so many years, but I still haven't completely defeated them. I have only severely damaged their vitality and they dare not invade again."

"Although Japan has been beaten by me for fifty years, the situation is complicated now and I really can't spare the time to deal with them."

"As for Yuenan Country, I would also like to include them in my territory. But they are not my kind after all. It is difficult to make them truly submit!"
