Gone with the Rain 微雨燕双飞 Episode 23

Chen Wende inspected and learned that eight or nine hundred soldiers had taken the wrong medicine and showed signs of poisoning. At this time, Chen Wende's location was also attacked by Shenya rockets. He guessed that Wan Jiagui wanted to break out of the city with the remnants of the Longxiang Army. Wan Jiagui led the Longxiang army to kill the city gate guards, reconciled with Xiao Jiang who just escaped, and learned that Fengyao and Moxi were detained in Wanfu by Chen Wende, and wanted to return to rescue them. But seeing Chen Wende's Beishuo army chasing him, he could only take the Longxiang army out of the city temporarily.

Chen Wende soon found out why the soldiers were poisoned. It turned out that in order to force Wan Jiagui out, he cut off the water in the area where Wan Jiagui was located. Wan Jiagui is smart.

Chen Wende heard Moxi's cry for help in the mansion and came to check. Moxi saw Chen Wende's gloomy expression and knew that he hadn't caught Wan Jiagui. The two finally came to this ghost place, and she blamed Chen Wende for all the crimes. Chen Wende felt quite wronged, at first it was Wu Lang who showed favor to Bai Fengyao, and later it was Uncle Moxi who showed favor to Moxi.

Moxi considers herself a lowly life, she doesn't care about life or death, honor or disgrace, but now that Fengyao is in danger, she can only lower her head and beg Chen Wende to seek medical treatment for Fengyao. Although Chen Wende was very angry at Wan Jiagui's poisoning, he still ordered to consult a doctor for Bai Fengyao. He believed that Bai Fengyao's survival was a kind of restraint on Wan Jiagui. Although Chen Wende was scolded by Moxi, he still felt sorry for her, and secretly arranged for Xiao Wu to bring some food for Moxi.

Wan Jiagui led the Longxiang Army to stay in Yihua County and wait for the imperial court to rescue, but the reinforcements did not come for a long time, and the soldiers also complained. Wan Jiagui understood the embarrassment of the imperial court and knew that Qingzhou is now a battleground for military strategists. It is also a battlefield where the imperial court and various forces secretly compete.

Fengyao took the medicine prescribed by the doctor and her health improved. She inquired about the relationship between Moxi and Chen Wende. Fengyao said that Moxi and Chen Wende had no relationship in terms of names. Knowing that Moxi did not agree to the other party's request, Feng Yao felt relieved.

Chen Wende got the secret volume sent by the governor of Yaozhou, and arranged for his subordinates to forge iron as soon as possible. Various governors sent envoys to Qingzhou to have peace talks with Chen Wende. Chen Wende knew that the governors of each prefecture had known each other for a long time, and the conditions for the peace talks might be similar, so he planned to meet with these envoys.

The envoys from various states did not hide their ambitions when they saw Chen Wende. They all wanted the iron mines in Qingzhou. Chen Wende secretly ordered his subordinates to shoot the Crow rockets at the Yihua city tower, in order to frighten the envoys from all states. Seeing that Chen Wende was unwilling to share the iron ore in his hands, the envoys from various states had to step back temporarily to discuss the matter.

Wan Jiagui received the imperial decree, the imperial treasury was empty and could not withstand a big battle, now Wan Jiagui could only be left in Yihua to wait for the next news from the imperial court. Wan Jiagui bribed the doctor of Qingzhou City to deliver the news of Fengyao's safety, and asked her to wait for rescue. After the discussion, the special history of Sanzhou approached Chen Wende again, saying that they all have a demand for iron ore and want to mine together. Chen Wende naturally disagreed, and the special envoys of the three states were willing to communicate with Qingzhou to provide Chen Wende with horses and food, but also hoped that Chen Wende could severely damage the Longxiang Army. Their goal is naturally that Chen Wende can fight to the death with the imperial court, while the states can continue to do their own thing.

Under Chen Wende's intimidation, the states promised to do their best to raise the supplies needed by Chen Wende, but hoped that Chen Wende would do something that was incompatible with Long Xiang's army, and there would be no more opportunities for discussion. They suggested that Chen Wende could marry Wan Jiagui's wife Bai Fengyao, which would also prove that Chen Wende had completely broken with the court. They can also rest assured to form an alliance with Chen Wende, on the contrary, they are helping Chen Wende now, if one day Chen Wende and the court deal with them together, they will not be worth the loss. Chen Wende is in every possible way because of this matter, and the special envoys of the states are also willing to give him time to think about it.

Although Feng Yao hoped that Wan Jiagui would come to rescue them, she didn't want Wan Jiagui to take too many risks. Fengyao believes that a man should take the responsibility of the world as the most important thing, even if Wan Jiagui can't save her, she has no complaints. But Moxi couldn't understand it at all. She thought that if she liked someone, she should be with him, and she couldn't bless him.

Chen Wende reviewed Qingzhou's accounts and found that the grain and grass could only last for a month, the loss of weapons and armor was heavy, and the iron ore could not be turned into iron immediately. If Chen Wende wants to defend the iron mines for the imperial court, he must let the army survive. He finally decided to agree to the terms of the tri-state envoy.

Chen Wende ordered someone to release Fengyao Moxi from the firewood room. He found Bai Fengyao and asked if he would marry her, but Bai Fengyao said that he would not marry Chen Wende, a traitor like Chen Wende. She had already married Wan Jiagui. Death would not allow Chen Wende to tarnish his reputation. But Chen Wende said that he was only here to inform Bai Fengyao that he had settled the ceremony.
