With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

Chapter 156: Risking Everything for the Life of Ten Thousand People

Chen Qingwan was angry and anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

Lu Yan's personality is stubborn and he won't respond to any advice or persuasion, so he's very difficult to deal with.

This made Chen Qingwan cry out of grievance.

Tears fell down like pearls from a broken string.

Rolling back and forth on her fair and tender little face.

She bit her lower lip, trying hard not to let the tears escape.

But his shoulders were twitching.

It looks like a wounded little animal, which makes people feel heartbroken.

"I beg you, Lu Yan, okay?"

Chen Qingwan choked with sobs, her voice as thin as a mosquito, and with a hint of despair.

She raised her beautiful eyes, which were blurred with tears, and looked at Lu Yan eagerly.

Lu Yan looked at Chen Qingwan, whose face was filled with tears, and his heart suddenly softened.

This woman is so adorable when she cries.

He wanted to make a few more jokes, but the words couldn't come out.

"Alas," Lu Yan sighed, his tone softening.

"Releasing the hostages is tantamount to handing over the initiative."

"Only by controlling them in our hands can we deter the enemy and prevent their deaths!"

"Do you understand the stakes here?"

Chen Qingwan's eyes were red, her nose was twitching, and she choked and said:

"But... what if? You worked so hard to receive the disaster victims from Zhongzhou, wasn't it just for..."

"To strengthen yourself? So many people in the capital need you now, you..."

Chen Qingwan realized that it was useless to pretend to be pitiful, and the little volcano in her heart completely erupted!

She really wanted to pounce on him, bite Lu Yan's arm, and gnaw off a piece of flesh!

This damn bastard is so heartless and cold-blooded!

Countless tortures flashed through her mind: drag him out and beat him to death a hundred times!

I wish I could tie him to a boat and let him drift away to the outside world, out of sight, out of mind!

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Chen Qingwan tried hard to control her manic emotions.

Take a deep breath, and then another deep breath.

He tried his best to suppress the urge to tear Lu Yan into pieces.

She gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words:

"I'll pay! Okay? I'll give you five million taels of silver in exchange for a way out for the people of the capital!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan sneered and glanced at Chen Qingwan.

Yo! Why don't you pretend anymore?

"Five million taels? Ha, that's all the money you earned from me!"

Chen Qingwan was furious, her eyebrows raised, her eyes wide open, and she glared at Lu Yan fiercely.

"The money I earn is mine! What's it to you?"

Lu Yan sneered:

"The money you make? How could you make so much money without me?"

"Don't forget, every penny you earn is closely related to me!"

Chen Qingwan was so angry that she was shaking all over, pointing at Lu Yan's nose and scolding:

"You...you are totally unreasonable! Shameless! Despicable! Vile!"

Lu Yan remained unmoved, still with a look of contempt:

"Whatever you say, I can release him, but I won't give you a penny less than 10 million taels!"

Chen Qingwan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

She knew that reasoning with this scoundrel was useless.

"I know Beiliang is rich, rich enough to rival a country, but ten million taels of silver is no small sum."

"Even if it's you, you have to think about it, right?"

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Qingwan playfully:

"What? Are you heartbroken? If you're worried about the money, go talk to the Empress and ask her to find someone else!"

"You're being a rogue!"

Chen Qingwan was so angry that she stomped her feet and her chest heaved violently.

"Doing business requires mutual consent."

Lu Yan looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

He crossed his legs and watched Chen Qingwan go crazy leisurely.

"Then tell me, what exactly do you want me to do in order for you to let him go?"

Chen Qingwan asked almost gritting her teeth.

"As long as I can do it, I promise you!"

At this moment, she trampled all her face and dignity under her feet.

She risked her life for the lives of millions of people in the capital!

Lu Yan's eyes began to scan Chen Qingwan continuously.

From her delicate eyebrows to her chest slightly rising and falling with anger.

And then to her slender waist...

That naked, aggressive look made Chen Qingwan feel uneasy.

She felt like merchandise, being judged.

The feeling of shame was like a sharp knife, piercing her heart and making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

She suppressed her sadness and humiliation and looked up to meet Lu Yan's gaze.

She tucked her hair behind her ears, revealing her fair and slender neck.

That aggrieved look, like pear blossoms swaying in the wind and rain, is so pitiful.

This made Lu Yan's heart move.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk,"

Lu Yan shook his head and sighed meaningfully.

"Miss Chen, why are you doing this?"

"Is it worth it to sacrifice myself for those irrelevant people?"

Chen Qingwan bit her lower lip and said nothing.

She knew whether it was worth it or not.

She just didn't want to see anyone suffer.

I don't want to see the common people suffer.

"How about this,"

Lu Yan drew out his voice, a cunning glint in his eyes.

"Stay with me... for a month, and I'll help you."

"you……"

Chen Qingwan widened her eyes and looked at Lu Yan in disbelief.

It was as if I was meeting him for the first time.

This man is so shameless!

"What? Don't want to?"

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows.

"If you don't want to, forget it. The siege of the capital has nothing to do with me anyway."

He pretended to get up and leave.

"and many more!"

Chen Qingwan hurriedly called out to him, her teeth chattering and a flash of determination in her eyes.

"Okay, I promise you!"

Lu Yan's lips curled up into a triumphant smile, he sat down again and patted the empty seat next to him.

"Come, sit closer, and let's have a good chat."

Chen Qingwan took a deep breath and slowly walked to Lu Yan and sat down.

Trying hard to resist the urge to slap him.

She told herself that all this was for the people of the capital and for the country of Datong.

The next month was like purgatory for Chen Qingwan.

Lu Yan didn't regard her as the empress's secret envoy at all, but treated her as his exclusive maid.

"Give me a back rub, be gentle, don't be like a man!"

Lu Yan lay on the couch, giving orders in a calm manner.

Chen Qingwan clenched her teeth and clenched her slender fingers into fists.

But he had to slowly stretch out and massage Lu Yan's back again and again.

As the empress of a country, how could she have ever suffered such humiliation!

But for the safety of the people in the capital, she had no choice but to endure it.

After the back pounding, Lu Yan started to act up again:

"Sing a song for me, sing that..."

"What's that? I heard it's very popular recently."

Chen Qingwan was so angry that she was shaking all over. Eighteen touches?

Who does he take her for?

How could she, the empress, sing such obscene songs?

"What? You can't sing? If you can't sing, just dance. Even a striptease will do."
