"What?" Ye Beimo was stunned for a moment, then he quickly bowed and refused, "Thank you for your kindness, Young City Lord, but my people are suffering from the war, and I need to lead my troops back immediately, so I'm afraid I can't..."

"You can!" Jun Ziyao quickly refuted his words, "I am anxious to marry my beloved, so the wedding is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. You have been out for so long, you don't mind staying for two or three more days."

"But..." Ye Beimo was a little anxious. He didn't care about staying a few more days, but he was worried that Lu Xiuyuan and his men were also in the city. They were so cunning and could instigate the city lord to repent at any time.

The night is long and dreams are many. He just wanted to get the city lord's military authorization letter in the next second and lead his troops back to Zhujing Kingdom overnight.

"No buts." Jun Ziyao pretended to be unhappy and taunted Ye Beimo in a sarcastic tone, "I am the young city lord, the only son of the city lord. My father helped you so much, but you didn't even want to stay and attend my wedding.

"The chosen son of the mountain god is so ignorant of the ways of the world. My father must be very disappointed in you."

Ye Beimo felt bitter and looked at Jun Zhonglin. Sure enough, he saw that his expression changed slightly, and he was obviously unhappy with his rejection.

"Then... the city lord will lend me the soldiers first, and I will have people take them to the front line to fight the enemy, and I will attend the young city lord's wedding here?" After thinking it over again and again, Ye Beimo came up with a compromise.

"No!" Jun Ziyao objected immediately, "I don't know you well, I don't trust you, what if my father borrows soldiers and you sneak away?

"My fiancée really wants the True Dragon Emperor chosen by the mountain god to attend the wedding. I won't be able to explain to her if you leave."

Ye Beimo quietly clenched his fists, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Heaven and earth can bear witness, I really want to stay and attend the young city lord's wedding, but you also know that the mountain god wants the city lord to borrow troops immediately, and the people are also surrounding the mansion and refusing to leave.

"If the city lord doesn't lend us soldiers immediately, how can we explain this to the mountain gods and the people?"

Jun Ziyao seemed to have known that he would say this, and approached him with a sly smile, "You are the chosen son of the mountain god, the people should all listen to you, right?"

“This…” Ye Beimo was speechless for a moment, his eyes wide open and he couldn’t say anything for a long time.

"You go and lead the people to the mountain god temple and greet the mountain god in person. We in Tang City have worshipped the mountain god for generations. I believe that the mountain god will allow his chosen son to attend the wedding of the city lord's son." Jun Ziyao said with a smile.

Ye Beimo was so angry that he almost exploded, but he didn't dare to show it on the surface. He asked quietly, "What if the mountain god doesn't agree?"

Jun Ziyao snorted coldly and said bluntly with a cold face: "We in Tang City have worshipped the mountain god for generations, just to let him bless us and help us.

"If he doesn't even agree to such a trivial request, then why do we still worship and believe in him? Just tear down the temple and his previous instructions will not count."

"Don't!" Ye Beimo hurriedly tried to stop him. His face turned pale and blue, which was really exciting.

At this moment, he even wanted to kill Jun Ziyao.

“Okay… okay!” In the end, Ye Beimo had no choice but to agree to Jun Ziyao’s request, and reluctantly clasped his fists to Jun Zhonglin.

"The city lord has generously rescued me. I should stay and attend the young city lord's wedding. I just hope that after the wedding, the city lord can immediately lend me soldiers so that I can save the people from the dire situation as soon as possible."

Jun Zhonglin laughed: "Of course."

Having agreed upon this, Jun Ziyao immediately took Ye Beimo to the mountain god temple and asked him to ask the "mountain god" to stay for a few more days so that the mountain god would not be angry anymore.

Of course, they could not avoid being witnessed by the common people. A huge crowd of people followed them until they saw with their own eyes Ye Beimo kneeling in front of the mountain temple and saying that he wanted to stay and attend the wedding.

The people were relieved and dispersed, waiting to make a decision after the wedding.

After dealing with everything, Jun Ziyao ran to tell Qu Xiaoyou the good news. Qu Xiaoyou happily told Lu Xiuyuan and Xia Younan, but no one was happy about it.

They know what this was paid for, and they won't accept it.

The night came quietly, the crescent moon was like a hook outside the window, the stars were scattered like marbles in the deep blue night sky, insects were chirping, birds were singing, and it was quiet and peaceful.

Qu Xiaoyou sat alone in the room in a daze until a knock on the door brought her back to her senses.

She got up and opened the door, and saw Xia Younan standing outside with an expressionless face.

Qu Xiaoyou knew why she came, but didn't say anything. She turned around and sat back at the table, calmly pouring her some water.

Xia Younan sat next to her and said bluntly: "I'll help you pack your luggage. We'll go back tomorrow. He can lend the soldiers to whoever he wants!"

Qu Xiaoyou sneered, looked at her and reminded her: "One hundred thousand elite soldiers and brave generals, one against ten, is equivalent to nearly a million soldiers.

"If Ye Beimo really borrows it to use on the battlefield, at the very least, we will lose at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers; at the worst, our entire country may..."

She didn't dare say what came next, but the meaning was self-evident.

"If sacrificing one person can bring peace and prosperity to the country and save the lives of thousands of people, then why wouldn't I do it?"

"But that is a lifelong matter for a girl. It will be painful for her to marry someone she doesn't love. Besides, maybe we can think of other solutions." Xia Younan advised earnestly.

Qu Xiaoyou smiled bitterly and shook her head: "It has come to this point, there is no other way.

"Besides, Jun Ziyao is a rare talent in both appearance and status. He is not a bad person and he loves me madly. It is not a loss for me to marry him. I hope we can live happily for a hundred years in the future."

"Then...where is my senior brother?" Xia Younan's voice trembled a little.

When talking about Zen wood, the bitter smile on Qu Xiaoyou's lips slowly disappeared. He stopped talking and fell into deep silence.

In fact, when she asked Zenmu today what qualifications and reasons he had to stop her from getting married, if Zenmu had given her the response she wanted, she would not have made such a choice.

It just so happened that she was tired of waiting, so she might as well take this opportunity to end her one-sided love.

Giving up a relationship in exchange for peace and prosperity for a country is worth it.

"You've loved him for so long and clung to him for so long, but now you want to turn around and marry someone else. Are you willing? Are you... willing to do it?" Xia Younan grabbed Qu Xiaoyou's hand and asked with a frown.

Qu Xiaoyou smiled indifferently, a smile that was so free and easy, and so heartbreaking.

"Even if the ending is not satisfactory, meeting each other is a good omen."

She looked at the bright moon outside the window, opened her lips slightly, her brows relaxed, her expression calm, as if she had really let it go.

But Xia Younan knew that beneath her indifferent expression was a bleeding heart.

That night, Xia Younan tried his best to persuade Qu Xiaoyou to change her mind, but failed. It was not until late at night that she opened the door and walked out reluctantly.

As soon as she closed the door, she saw Zenmu standing there like a piece of wood, and she didn't know when he came.

Xia Younan looked at him worriedly and sighed, then said to him, "Did you hear that? She said, 'Even if the ending is not satisfactory, meeting each other is a blessing.' After not getting a response for a long time, she is now giving up on you completely."
