Li Yuanmu objected almost immediately: "Father, how could you have such a thought?"

Without Miss Yun's help, they might not have been able to get here at all.

How could Father have such thoughts about Miss Yun? It's simply outrageous!

Li Yuanyi shook his head in disapproval: "Father, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to do this?"

Li Yuanyi also shook his head in disagreement.

Li Ping glanced at the two men, his expression turning ugly.

"Don't I know this is wrong? If you two weren't so useless, would I need to have these thoughts?"

While in Jizhou City, I ordered two people to seduce Miss Yun. And what happened?

More than half a month has passed, and there has been no progress at all.

That man wearing the Yama mask won Miss Yun's heart in just one night.

What about these two?

They even managed to win over Goryeo, but these two couldn't even win the heart of the young lady!

They're utterly useless!

Upon hearing this, the two men's expressions changed slightly.

It's not that they don't want to, but that they simply can't.

More than half a month has passed, and Yun Chuwei's attitude towards them is exactly the same as her initial polite distance.

In other words, they made absolutely no progress.

Li Ping looked at Zhang Gong and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Gong smiled: "I also think they're both useless." Li Ping: ...

"I mean, sir, do you think it's feasible for me to force Miss Yun to stay?"

Zhang Gong continued, "On this point, I think the general is being a bit far-fetched!"

Li Ping remained silent.

Zhang Gong sighed and continued, "If Miss Yun is unwilling, what good will it do to keep her here? She can annihilate your entire army with just one divination."

Upon hearing this, Li Ping couldn't help but shiver.

If Yun Chuwei is forcibly kept here, she might be able to wipe out his entire army by taking advantage of a landslide or other disaster.

Zhang Gong paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, Emperor Tianqi certainly knows about Miss Yun's abilities. If she can't return, the imperial army might come in full force! We chose Goryeo to recuperate and develop our power, not to directly challenge the imperial army, right?"

Li Ping frowned, his expression darkening.

He always remembered that their plan was to occupy Goryeo, then petition His Majesty to become the legitimate ruler of the Goryeo region, and then recuperate, develop their power, and wait for the right opportunity.

This plan does not include provoking the imperial court now.

If they wanted to face the imperial army directly, they didn't need to leave their homes; they could do it right here in Ji Province.

only……

That's Miss Yun, the Miss Yun who's worth an army of millions.

“How can I be willing to let her go like this?” Li Ping said.

Zhang Gong remained silent.

He didn't want to hurt Li Ping, but even if he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.

Some people are destined to leave you!

At this moment, Li Yuanmu suddenly spoke up: "Father, we have petitioned the court, requesting His Majesty to establish a prefecture in Goryeo, with our Li family serving as the governor. Perhaps we should send someone to the court as a hostage?"

Li Ping remained silent.

According to custom, if His Majesty is to agree to these things, it is indeed necessary to select one of his sons and send him to the capital as a hostage!

But what was Li Yuanmu trying to say when he brought this up?

Li Yuanmu continued, "Let me be this hostage!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanyi quickly replied, "Second brother, if His Majesty needs hostages, it should be me who goes!"

He's the boss, so it's only natural that he should take the lead.

I can't let my younger brother suffer.

Li Yuanmu turned to look at Li Yuanyi, her eyes pleading, "Big brother, please don't fight me for this, okay?"

After hearing this, Li Yuanyi roughly understood what Li Yuanmu meant and said nothing more.

Li Yuanmu continued, "In the past two weeks, I have not yet completed the tasks my father instructed. Why don't I go back to the capital with Miss Yun to continue fulfilling my father's orders?"

Li Ping's eyes lit up: "If there really comes a day when heroes vie for supremacy, can you bring Miss Yun back?"

Li Yuanmu lowered his eyes, his expression somewhat complicated: "I will do my best!"

His Majesty will definitely need a hostage.

He and his brother, one of them had to go.

His desire to go to the capital was merely to get a little closer to Yun Chuwei.

She also wanted to cancel her father's idea of ​​forcibly keeping Yun Chuwei.

That's all.

As for bringing Yun Chuwei back?

He suddenly remembered what had happened in the camp that day.

He felt he couldn't do it.

But he couldn't tell his father.

Li Ping turned to look at Zhang Gong: "Sir, what do you think?"

“It’s worth a try,” Zhang Gong said.

Li Ping turned around and patted Li Yuanmu on the shoulder, saying, "You rascal, you'd better do your best! Try your best to win the young lady's favor, and bring her back when the world is in chaos, understand?"

Li Yuanmu lowered his eyes: "Understood!"

Li Ping laughed heartily and said, "I'll go write the memorial right away!"

After saying that, Li Ping and Zhang Gong turned around and went down the city wall.

Li Yuanmu and Li Yuanyi did not leave; they remained standing on the city wall, looking out of the city.

Just then, a horse-drawn carriage appeared in the distance.

The carriage was simple and unremarkable.

However, both of them clearly saw that the person driving the carriage was Yan Wei.

That was clearly Yun Chuwei's carriage.

Li Yuanyi said, "She's here!"

Yun Chuwei did not participate in the siege; after setting up the formation, she left the battlefield.

At this time, they had completely occupied the capital of Goryeo, and Yun Chuwei arrived.

Li Yuanmu looked at the carriage, a hint of longing in his eyes.

Li Yuanyi glanced at his younger brother beside him and sighed softly: "I told you to go and seduce that girl, but she didn't even get close to you. How could you lose your heart so easily?"

He felt that his younger brother was too disappointing!

Not only did he lose his heart, but he also couldn't get close to that young girl.

Li Yuanmu lowered his head and quickly said, "Brother, don't talk nonsense!"

Li Yuanyi scoffed and said, "Li Yuanmu, you're still being stubborn! Don't you know that you can't hide the look in someone's eyes when they like them?"

Li Yuanmu remained silent.

He didn't want to know.

Li Yuanyi continued with a smile, "I don't know when it started, but you've been doing everything yourself regarding Miss Yun."

"Wasn't that what Father asked for?" Li Yuanmu kept his eyes down, seemingly oblivious to his thoughts.

Li Yuanyi found it amusing and said, "It was Father's order, but he wanted both of us to go, not just you. Before, you and I took turns preparing various daily necessities for Miss Yun. Later, you started preparing these things by yourself, deliberately excluding me from these tasks. Is this what you call Father's request? Li Yuanmu, do you think I'm stupid?"
