Chapter 380 Hidden meaning

Seeing that he looked a little nervous, Su Hanchu suddenly laughed.

"I didn't say anything to you, why are you so nervous?"

Jun Moye hugged her from behind.

"I'm not afraid that you'll be angry, I'm afraid that you'll be sad. Chuchu, the situation was really special at the time, and I had already agreed with City Lord Ruan that I would only take action, and I would never marry Miss Ruan. But the King of Yan is still here, so I can't declare the martial arts competition to be invalid for the time being."

After hearing this, Su Hanchu leaned into his arms and patted his hand.

"Alright, why should I be angry or sad? You said it yourself. You're not going to marry her. Didn't City Lord Ruan invite you for tea? You should get ready to go. If we want to settle down in Baise City, we must contact the Ruan family."

Jun Moye held her in his arms and held her hands.

"Then let's go together."

Su Han Chuxin shook her head slightly after hearing this.

"They only invited you, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go with them. You go by yourself. I can take this opportunity to meet the King of Yan."

When Jun Moye heard this, he was surprised and spoke.

"Are you going to see King Yan?"

Su Hanchu nodded after hearing this.

"I want to go see him, but I'm not sure if he can see me. He gave us such a big gift last night. It would be rude if we didn't return the favor."

Jun Moye spoke hurriedly after hearing this.

"Then I won't go to the City Lord's Mansion. I'll go with you."

After hearing this, Su Hanchu looked up at him.

"Alright, I'm not going to fight. Besides, the King of Yan can't let him die in Baise City right now. Just teach him a lesson. Ping'er and I can handle it."

Jun Moye also knew his wife's abilities and that she had always been resourceful.

"So what are you going to do?"

Su Hanchu smiled mysteriously.

"Perhaps when you return from the City Lord's Mansion after drinking tea, you'll be able to hear good things about Prince Yan."

Seeing that she was keeping it a secret, Jun Moye reached out and scratched the tip of her nose.

"Alright, then be careful. I'll have He Jiuzhou follow you in secret. You must prioritize your own safety. If you can take action to deal with it, then do so. If anything unexpected happens, I'll go with you again."

City Lord's Mansion.

Ruan Yanluo was a dazzling sight today, clearly dressed with great care. She was dressed in a vibrant pink dress, as gorgeous as a flower in bloom in spring.

The cut of the dress perfectly outlines her slender figure.

When the guard came to report that Master Jun's carriage had arrived, Ruan Yanluo personally went to the mansion gate to lead the way for him.

"Master Jun, father has been waiting for you since early morning. Today, I would like to invite you to taste tea. Also, father has a special painting that I would like you to appreciate together."

Jun Moye just nodded calmly and walked forward. During this time, no one stopped to look at Ruan Yanluo.

Ruan Yifeng saw his daughter and Jun Moye walking together. He looked at the two of them from afar and thought they were a perfect match. He couldn't help but feel sorry for them. It was a pity that Young Master Jun already had a family. However, since ancient times, men have had three wives and four concubines. If Young Master Jun is capable of taking over Baise City, perhaps he can consider this marriage.

"Mr. Jun is here, please take a seat."

Then he gave orders.

"Go and fetch this city lord's most precious painting for Master Jun to appreciate."

Ruan Yanluo also sat down at the table and made tea for the two of them.

Ruan Yanluo skillfully arranged the tea sets neatly.

Then, she took out a few fresh tea leaves from the bamboo tube beside her and put them into the exquisite purple clay teapot.

Then she picked up the kettle and slowly poured boiling water into it, and the aroma of tea immediately filled the air.

When the tea was ready, he handed a cup to Jun Moye with a smile on his face.

"Young Master Jun, try this. This is the tea-making method Luo Luo learned today. See if you can get used to it."

Jun Moye calmly took the teacup and spoke politely and distantly.

"Thank you, Miss Ruan."

There wasn't even a word of praise, and Ruan Yanluo felt a sense of loss.

At this time, Yingfeng also brought the portrait.

City Lord Ruan spoke with a smile.

"Master Jun, please look at this painting. This city lord was extremely shocked when he received it."

In the center of the painting, two armies face each other, flags flying and drums thundering. The soldiers, clad in heavy armor and armed with sharp weapons, stand ready for battle.

Their faces were resolute, their eyes full of determination and courage. The generals rode on their powerful war horses, commanding their armies with great momentum.

On both sides of the painting are women, old and young, gazing into the distance, as if waiting for the return of the soldiers who have gone out.

Even though Jun Moye was born into the royal family and had seen countless antique calligraphy and paintings, he was still shocked at this moment and couldn't help but stand up and move closer.

"This painting by City Lord Ruan is truly rare. It allows one to sense the tense atmosphere of life-and-death struggles, the heroic spirit of the soldiers fighting bravely for their country and honor, and the anticipation of their families for their return."

Ruan Yifeng also stood up and stood beside Jun Moye.

"This painting is said to have been created by a soldier after a battle. It's not a famous painting, but I was deeply moved when I saw it, so I kept it as a treasure."

Then he looked at Jun Moye.

"Master Jun, who do you think is the winner and loser in a war?"

Jun Moye said after thinking for a moment.

"The success or failure of a war often depends on many factors. Sometimes, the apparent victor may not actually gain anything, and the loser may not necessarily gain nothing."

He paused and continued.

"In war, both victors and losers pay a heavy price. The loss of lives and the destruction of homes are pains that cannot be ignored, and ultimately, it is the people who suffer."

Ruan Yifeng nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

"Young Master Jun is absolutely right. In war, there is never an absolute victory or defeat, only endless sacrifice and suffering. Baise City has always stood between the three kingdoms, like a barrier separating them. Young Master Jun, have you ever considered that if Baise City fell into the hands of one of these kingdoms, it would inevitably lead to war?"

It turned out that he was waiting for him here. Jun Moye wanted to see what City Lord Ruan wanted to say.

"Bai Se City has a unique geographical location, lying between several major powers. This has indeed indirectly prevented some wars. Any country that wants to wage war against another must pass through Bai Se City. Furthermore, the Black Armored Army under City Lord Ruan is also a source of envy. However, I am only an ordinary person, and these matters are the concern of those in higher positions."
