Chapter 379 Follow along!
"Isn't the general a good candidate?"
"I?"
General Luo was stunned, not understanding what the princess meant.
"Yup!"
Yu Tingwan leaned on the table with one hand on her chin, looking at him with interest.
"The general is both brave and resourceful. In this situation, he would rather disobey the imperial order than abandon the city he is guarding. He does not abandon any of the people, and he treats the soldiers around him sincerely. No wonder the general is so popular among the people!"
"Princess, don't dare to say that. You can't just say things like you want to win the hearts of the people."
Even though General Luo is sometimes stubborn and honest, he is not really one-track-minded. He knows what will happen if the phrase "winning the hearts of the people" is used on someone like him.
Not to mention the emperor and the crown prince, even for Prince Chen, he couldn't guarantee whether the prince would think too much. After all, Gaoling County was now the prince's city. He was popular here, and he didn't think it was too tiring to have his head on the neck!
Therefore, at this moment, General Luo felt that Yu Tingwan was like his death warrant, and he didn't know when a single word could take his life away!
Seeing him suddenly become a little cowardly, Yu Tingwan was helpless. This guy is really, isn’t he not afraid of death?
"What I said is the truth. Many people came to me to ask about you. Knowing that you are not dead, they all pleaded for me to release you! What do you think, General? Haven't you figured out what to do?"
General Luo smiled helplessly, "Princess, please tell me what you want me to do. I really don't know what to do."
"Hey, you really are. You didn't offend me. You defended the city for the people. What's wrong with that? How about you make amends?"
What Yu Tingwan said made General Luo frown. How to make up for one's mistakes?
This made Yu Tingwan smile, and he began to look at General Luo openly, staring at him until General Luo's blushes turned warm!
"What do you want, princess?"
At this point, General Luo also realized that the princess had no intention of doing anything to him. On the contrary, it seemed that he could still be of use to the princess!
Then you don’t have to worry about your head!
"I hope you will continue to guard Gaoling County, but not for the court, but for the prince!"
To put it bluntly, you changed jobs, bro!
Unexpectedly, General Luo was a little bit unbelievable. Did this mean that he should continue to guard Gaoling County?
that's it?
"Princess, why do you do this?"
General Luo looked at Yu Tingwan with complicated eyes. He was their opponent, so why did he let him guard Gaoling County? Aren't they afraid that he would rebel?
Yu Tingwan, who naturally knew what he was talking about, smiled slightly, put away the somewhat unserious expression he had since entering the door, and looked at General Luo seriously.
"I only want to ask the general one question. Are you loyal to the emperor or to Da Sheng?"
Is there any difference between these words?
General Luo felt that there seemed to be no difference, but when the princess said it, it seemed to be different!
"Then I will ask again, General, are you loyal to Shen Haocang or to the people of Dasheng?"
When the emperor's name was spoken directly, General Luo's pupils shrank sharply. He was about to rebuke him for treason, but suddenly he seemed to realize something. He put his hands on his knees with some trembling, and looked at Yu Tingwan deeply.
This time, he understood.
"What's the General's answer?"
The room fell silent for a moment, and neither of them spoke.
After a long time, General Luo slowly stood up, knelt on one knee towards Yu Tingwan, and respectfully performed the great military salute.
"Your servant Luo Xingwu obeys the princess's order!"
Yu Tingwan smiled with satisfaction. Great, now we have more manpower!
"General Luo, please get up. We don't have so many gifts here."
After General Luo stood up, Yu Tingwan stood up and waved for him to follow.
"Let's go, General Luo. We still have things to do in the city. We'll just hand it over to you and leave."
General Luo looked at the obviously cheerful Princess Chen in front of him. For some reason, he felt a little uneasy. Why was the Princess so excited?
"Um, Princess, my subordinates..."
Walking out of the door, Yu Tingwan waved to the guard beside him and looked at General Luo.
"Let them all go. As for them, it's up to General Luo to convince them. If they don't want to, I can't let them go for the time being. General, do you understand?"
General Luo naturally understood what he said, nodded seriously, and said to Yu Tingwan: "I will talk to them properly."
Hearing this, Yu Tingwan was even more satisfied, and then waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and tell me, and when you're done, come find me, I'm in your house in the city."
General Luo naturally nodded to show that he understood. As he watched the princess walk away, he looked towards the yard where there were no guards anymore and turned to walk into other houses.
He believed that his brothers would make the same choice as him.
"General?"
Looking at General Luo who suddenly appeared in his house, the deputy general was surprised. He just felt someone coming outside, and after a while the guard disappeared. Could it be that the general did something?
General Luo felt relieved when he saw him.
The princess really just locked them up and did nothing else. He misunderstood the princess!
Thinking of this, General Luo felt a little guilty, and then he looked at his deputy and said, "Go and call everyone else over. I have something to tell you."
If he could convince them to follow the princess into battle, not only would they be able to continue to make achievements, but they might even have a good future following Prince Chen!
Thinking of the mess that had happened in the court before, he didn't believe that such a court could continue, and he didn't want such a person to be emperor. If Da Sheng had such a person as emperor, the people would suffer!
What they need is someone like Prince Chen to lead them!
There were footsteps outside the door. General Luo withdrew his thoughts and looked towards the door.
Sure enough, the ones who came in were his group of trusted confidants, all of whom were rare and good talents. The princess must have taken a liking to them, otherwise she would not have locked them all up here.
I'm afraid he intended to subdue them from the beginning!
Thinking of this, even General Luo couldn't help but admire Yu Tingwan. With such a woman, such a broad mind, and such means, it was no wonder that the prince dared to let the princess lead a large army from this side and encircle the area with him to take the entire north into their possession!
"General?"
The deputy general looked at him worriedly. He saw that it was clean outside and there were no dead bodies. He also did not hear any sound of fighting, which meant that those people left on their own.
The general must have done something. The deputy general was very worried. He was afraid that the general would agree to something that the Princess of Chen didn't want to do for them.
"General, what is going on?"
"Yes General, why did those people leave?"
You can't just lock them up for a few days and then release them, right?
Knowing that they were worried, General Luo didn't say anything more. He looked at the group of people in front of him and said slowly:
"I'm going to follow the Princess of Chen!"
