Chapter 94 (1/1)
It has to be said that Su Yi did indeed hesitate for a long ti and have a listen; after all, he had been a general and had spent quite a few years of his life engaged in strife on battlefields Moreover, thisalong the border But at this tieneral and if he were to accoh Su Yi did notTherefore, he vacillated
Wanyan Xu could guess at his thoughts, and giving a slight s and Zi Yan, both of you help Su Su along, he shall co, he headed off and the two people at his back quickly took to busying the Su Yi
It turned out that a s --- that was on Jin Liao's western border, having seen that the livelihood of the people living in Jin Liao had becometaxation, had surreptitiously hatched a wicked idea They hadto capture a few cities and engage in a spree of looting But they had not anticipated that hen it ca his empire, what Wanyan Xu placed h there were not very er useless troops like the shrienerals [2] of the Great Qi and so the attackers had failed to capture any city The ruler of that s country was a reckless warlord When he saw that his attack had failed, his anger was roused and relying on the fact that the people of his country were in large part valiant and well-versed in ht as well openly declare war on Jin Liao Therefore, the general in charge of defending the border had sent his deputy with all haste to the capital to request for reinforcements
Wanyan Xu gave a “humph” and said: “That barbaric se the ave a low ”hmm” as he pondered In discussion with Su Yi, he said: “In your opinion, what should we do about this? Although I already have a stratagem in mind, I still want to hear your recorave, leaving no doubt that he was not treating Su Yi at all like ain an important discussion with a trusted confidant
Su Yi knew of his intentions, and his heart wasout for his best interests; if he were to continue shi+rking the discussion because of so of the deep respect and affection that Wanyan Xu bore for hihbouring country is small, but because it is composed of a race of nomads, her people prizeththe ti the border, I already heard of the raids to harass the coainst your forces, I did not dare to send any of my troops there to provide assistance But because they also knew that my command was very close to that area, they did not dare to launch a massive attack that would be sure to ed on like that Now, they have dispatched their arh it is not an ideal situation for the co military official should be sent to carry out a direct attack, if we cannot annihilate they, I', who are so fond of violence and plunder, would becoreat thorn in our side in future”
After he had finished, he saw Wanyan Xu nod and say: “I also see things this way” At that, Su Yi could not help but to sigh and say: “It’s just that you Alas, Yu Cang has already coiven this task?”
Wanyan Xu gave a hearty laugh and said: “Su Su, you look down upon me too , Jin Liao has no other lorious battle? Don't forget, our Jin Liao is also an ethnic group that grows up on the back of horses [3]” So saying, he stood up and paced around for a few laps Suddenly, he turned around, hugged Su Yi and said: “Let's go and have a rest I already have a good candidate in mind and I will nominate him in front of the court tomorrow”
Su Yi was going to object, saying that at such a ti happily as if the whole thing had not happened Picking Su Yi up into his arms, he carried him back to the Garden of Merri to show traces of first light and along the small paths of the palace, nu about, busy with their chores Being seen by them in such a position caused Su Yi to feel deep sharound where he could hide in
By the tiot back to the Garden of Merri but resent in his chest so that he did not care to bein internal affairs anyave Wanyan Xu a round of scolding, hanging metaphorical hats upon hi to one's proper duties, negligently underestih Wanyan Xu felt unjustly accused, he knew that the pain in Su Yi's leg had not yet disappeared and thus, he did not dare to defend hirieved In his heart he thought that as long as he couldwould be worth it even if he had to kneel on a washi+ng board
And so, for the next few days, Wanyan Xia caive Su Yiinsensitive to the pain, but for sohter On the tenth day, after Wanyan Xia had exa s up, he said to Su Yi: “Fros Fro In another few days, you will be just like before, when you were the storied general who had achieved hundreds of victories and dominated the battlefield”

Wanyan Xia saw that he was feeling sad Feeling regretful hi: “To tell you the truth, I did not actually believe that you could have endured that kind of pain Oh yes, a few days ago I heard that fighting had broken out along the border, what is the situation on the battlefield now?”
Su Yi shook his head and said: “I am baffled about this y but there are no reports of victory Every time I would ask hiet serious, he would say that they're still fighting, they're still fighting Aii, I really do not knohat he's thinking If I keep pursuing theof the state But if I don’t ask, I also can’t bear”
Before he could finish, Wanyan Xia could not help but to laugh and say: “Your heart has always been connected to the realm, naturally you would be concerned There's no need to think tooof the state The Emperor's family affairs are also the affairs of the nation Besides, my Imperial Elder Brother also does not take you to be just a member of the Inner Court, I think that he feels very respectful of you”
As the two of the, Wanyan Xu had walked into the room Wanyan Xia knew that his Imperial Elder brother could not wait for hi his leave, he said: “I's to attend to Youbut do not tire yourself out Practicing in , he drifted off, leaving behind Wanyan Xu who immediately went over and embraced Su Yi However, as to where Wanyan Xu'sa look of deep contely puzzled
