Chapter 169: Betting on the Divorce Letter
"Master Prime Minister, this trip is full of dangers. Have you really thought it through?"
There was both worry and expectation in King Pingnan's voice.
Before Fu Yansheng could respond, Wei Ruoming snorted coldly, with a hint of resentment in his words: "Although Prime Minister Fu is very intelligent, the borderland is full of turbulent situations, swords are merciless, and friendship is hard to find. Prime Minister, please think twice before acting."
"I have made up my mind. Since I have decided to fight alongside the prince, I will do my best to ensure that I do not hinder the prince."
Fu Yansheng's tone was calm and his eyes were firm, as if he had already put life and death aside.
A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of King Pingnan's mouth, his eyes fixed on Fu Yansheng, thinking secretly in his heart.
He knew that Fu Yansheng was no ordinary person, and this cooperation might reveal more unknown aspects of him.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and Fu Yansheng was about to step out of the lobby, but was stopped by Wei Ruoming's urgent call.
"Prince, do you have any other instructions?"
Fu Yansheng turned around, his expression still calm, as if the wind and rain from the outside world could not shake him in the slightest.
"You can't go outside the pass!"
Wei Ruoming's expression was more serious than ever before, and his tone was firm, revealing a determination that would not refute.
Fu Yansheng chuckled, with a hint of helplessness and relief in his smile: "Sir, the overall situation has been decided, and it may be difficult to change it."
Wei Ruoming turned his gaze to Ling Mohui, his eyes full of concern: "If you encounter misfortune, how will Mohui cope with it?"
For Ling Mohui, Fu Yansheng's departure meant more than just losing someone to rely on.
Ling Mohui seemed to be lost in thought, her eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she suddenly came to an understanding.
Yes, if something really happened to Fu Yansheng, wouldn’t I have to live out the rest of my life alone for him?
How can people willingly accept such a future?
There was not a single bit of happiness in her heart!
In this prosperous capital city, there are so many talented young men that she can hardly see them all. How could she easily limit herself to them?
"Your Highness, what you said makes sense. What should I do if you make any mistakes?"
Ling Mo turned her head and asked Fu Yansheng with a gentle but serious look.
Her voice was soft, but it seemed to stir up delicate ripples in the air.
Fu Yansheng witnessed the tacit interaction between Ling Mohui and Wei Ruoming, and an indescribable irritation quietly crept into his heart, like a touch of frost in winter, making his expression become subtle.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Ling Mohui, you'd better put away those little calculations in your mind as soon as possible!"
There was an unquestionable determination in Fu Yansheng's words. After he finished speaking, he did not stay and left, leaving behind a lonely and proud figure that gradually blurred in everyone's sight.
Wei Ruoming looked at Fu Yansheng's departing back, frowning slightly, and then followed him closely, with an unyielding fighting spirit burning in his eyes. "Fu Yansheng, do you have the courage to gamble with me?"
There was a hint of provocation in his words.
"What are you gambling?"
Fu Yansheng stopped, turned around and looked back, with a hint of disdain in his tone.
"Just bet on that divorce letter!"
Wei Ruoming stated the bet in a resounding voice, and every word struck like a hammer on the hearts of everyone present.
Hearing this, Fu Yansheng's eyelids twitched slightly, and his expression instantly turned cold, like a sudden cold wave in spring. "This is a family affair between me and my wife. What does it have to do with the prince?"
Wei Ruoming insisted, "Mo Hui is my best friend, so I naturally have to consider her future. Could it be that you are guilty and dare not accept the challenge?"
"Tell me, how does your so-called gambling game go?"
A playful smile appeared on Fu Yansheng's lips.
"I'm betting on whether you can return unscathed. You sign a divorce agreement first. If you fail to return safely, the divorce agreement will fall into Ling Mohui's hands, and you two will have nothing to do with each other from now on."
Every word in Wei Ruoming's speech sounded particularly firm.
Fu Yansheng's face darkened. "So, what if I can return safely?"
Wei Ruoming's eyes flickered, and he responded in a deep voice: "Then I am willing to accept any of your conditions."
"Deal! If I can return safely, Wei Ruoming, from now on, you must stay away from my wife and no more entanglement is allowed."
Fu Yansheng's words were firm and decisive.
Wei Ruoming opened his mouth, as if he wanted to argue, but under the pressure of the divorce agreement, he finally agreed reluctantly, with mixed feelings.
As the night deepened, Wei Ruoming and Fu Yansheng simply packed their luggage and set out on their journey, traveling day and night, heading straight for the border military camp.
It was a dark and windy night. Wei Ruoming had just dismounted from his horse when he turned around and saw a familiar yet unexpected figure in the team.
He looked around, then quickly stepped forward, grabbed Ling Mohui, who was disguised as a soldier, and led her into the tent without any explanation.
"Mo Hui! How could you follow me without permission? It's too dangerous here, go back quickly!"
Wei Ruoming helped her take off the heavy helmet with concern, and his words were full of irrefutable determination.
“I’m not going back.
The bet between you and Fu Yansheng is directly related to my future. I have to see the result with my own eyes before I can feel at ease. "
Ling Mohui's attitude was extremely firm, and her eyes flashed with unshakable determination.
"You know, we are heading to the boundless desert, where the Yanzhou Army is entrenched. Every step you take could lead you into a death trap. This is no joke!"
Wei Ruoming used up almost all his strength to emphasize, trying to awaken Ling Mohui's reason.
"I see!"
Ling Mohui's voice was soft but extremely firm.
"Mohui, what are you insisting on?"
Wei Ruoming asked in confusion.
"This has nothing to do with you, just let me stay with you."
Ling Mohui's words were low but powerful, and the emotions contained in them were complex and deep.
"Could it be that, in your heart, Fu Yansheng's position can never be replaced?"
Wei Ruoming probed cautiously, his eyes flickering as he waited for an answer.
Ling Mohui's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she resolutely raised her eyes and looked directly at Wei Ruoming, her tone was extremely sincere: "That's not the case, everything I did was actually for you."
Wei Ruoming didn't know how to respond for a moment. The air around him seemed to freeze and silence spread.
"In the face of a great war, we should put aside our personal feelings and fight side by side against the enemy, right?"
Ling Mohui patted Wei Ruoming's shoulder gently, her tone full of sincerity and encouragement.
Wei Ruoming pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled, a smile that contained relief, "That makes sense, it is indeed true!"
"Then let us set off!"
Ling Mohui was about to take a step forward, but was unexpectedly grabbed by Wei Ruoming, "Have you really thought it through?"
Ling Mohui nodded without hesitation, with a determined light flashing in her eyes, "Of course, I have made up my mind!"
Wei Ruoming slowly loosened his clenched fists, his tone full of unquestionable determination: "Okay, I'll go with you, and we'll go on this journey together!"
There was a gleam of determination in his eyes, as if he had put life and death aside.
