Chapter 586: Will you regret it?
"Look at these leftovers." Cen Xi felt that this sounded a bit sour and tutted his tongue. "I thought it would be pitiful for you to spend the New Year alone, so I came back to accompany you."
Lin Huixue raised his head and took a sip of wine: "You and I are both alone, who is better than the other?"
Cen Xi said, "At least Ji Yunshu is willing to take me in. Where's your prince? He leaves you alone in this kind of hellish place to celebrate the New Year. He really doesn't care about you at all."
In the past, when Cen Xi said such things, Lin Huixue would never respond, but now, perhaps on this day when other families were reunited, he did feel a little lonely.
He suddenly felt that it would be nice to have someone to talk to. He could also see Cen Xi's condition and knew that he had been drinking quite a bit.
It's understandable that she feels bad because she can't be with her family on such days.
So he started talking: "What kind of person do you think the prince is, that he would care about me? If he really cared about me, I'm afraid I would be dead now."
Cen Xi was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
Lin Huixue sneered: "Because I have failed too many times. I can even say that I haven't won since I met Zhao Shen."
Cen Xi was surprised to hear her admit these things for the first time. He couldn't help but move closer to her and asked, "Why do you have to do these things? You know it's impossible to succeed?"
Lin Huixue didn't know what she was thinking about, her eyes darkened: "Originally, it was possible to succeed."
Although I didn't directly answer her question, I finally responded.
Cen Xi's eyes flashed: "I still remember when I first met you in the capital. Although you looked like a poor scholar, you were full of confidence, which was very different from your current appearance."
Lin Huixue lowered her eyes and looked at her: "What do I look like now?"
Cen Xi held his chin and blinked, "Looks like he's ready to die at any moment."
Maybe she was too blunt, Lin Huixue laughed out loud twice.
Then he said, "Actually, you shouldn't have come back tonight. It won't do you any harm to build a good relationship with Ji Yunshu."
Cen Xi poured himself a glass of wine: "She invited me out of courtesy. It's a family reunion day, how can I not stay?"
She took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "This wine of yours tastes a little stronger than the one in the general's mansion."
Seeing that she was about to fall, Lin Huixue stopped her and said, "You've had too much to drink."
Cen Xi slapped his hand away: "It's boring for you to drink too much alone, why don't I accompany you? Are you afraid that I will take advantage of you when I'm drunk?"
Lin Huixue looked at the light in her eyes, a little dazed.
After a long moment, his Adam's apple rolled, and he asked softly, "If something really happens, will you regret it?"
After these tests, Cen Xi was certain that Qian Qian's guess was correct and he really had no plans to do anything tonight.
She moved closer to Lin Huixue, closing the distance between them.
Their breaths blended together, both carrying an intoxicating scent of alcohol.
Cen Xi looked at Lin Huixue with a dazed look in his eyes and murmured, "Why should I regret it?"
As she spoke, her hot breath sprayed on Lin Huixue's face.
He instantly felt as if his whole body was on fire, and his mind was so hot that he couldn't think straight.
So he followed his instinct and kissed the bright red lips that were so close to him.
He knew that Cen Xi was deliberately seducing him, but what did it matter?
He doesn't even know how long he can live?
On such a cold and lonely night, he suddenly felt that being alone was too hard to bear.
The moment Cen Xi appeared, a hole was opened in his cold heart.
The two of them quickly became entangled, as if there would be no tomorrow...
In the general's mansion.
Ji Yunshu watched the two people playing chess and soon lost interest.
Newbies always have extra good luck when playing cards, so Qian Qian won the most tonight, and she also drank quite a bit of wine.
At this time, the alcohol was taking effect and I felt a little sleepy.
She lay obediently beside Zhao Shen and soon fell asleep.
Ji Yunlan glanced at her and lowered his voice, "It seems nothing will happen tonight."
Zhao Shen dropped the chess piece at his fingertips. "This is to be expected, but we can't just sit there and do nothing, or the other side might change their strategy."
Anyway, Lin Huixue is alone and can take action whenever he wants.
Ji Yunlan said, "Lin Huixue has been under close surveillance these days, and we haven't found anything unusual. The goods his caravan brought have also been checked, and they are all normal goods."
Zhao Shen said, "Lin Huixue is a very cautious person. We've been dealing with him for so long, and he hasn't left any evidence behind. He won't leave anything out in the open. Perhaps he's here just to attract our attention."
Ji Yunlan frowned as he pinched the chess piece: "You mean, someone is acting in secret?"
Zhao Shen nodded: "This is inevitable. Although I don't know what Prince Yong is planning, he gave up too easily. This is unreasonable."
"You've forced me into a corner, I guess. The battle in Southern Xinjiang seemed like a joke, but if you think about it, Southern Xinjiang was defeated so quickly that there wasn't any serious damage at all."
It was only recently that he discovered, after reviewing the situation, that the war in southern Xinjiang was somewhat strange.
The battle in southern Xinjiang was just a reshuffle of the forces in southern Xinjiang. Only one tribe was actually pushed out. If you calculate it carefully, the loss was not that big.
Zhao Shen said, "That war broke out too early due to someone's interference. They were completely unprepared. Besides, the people of Southern Xinjiang are not stupid. After all, only a few of them are willing to charge into battle and die knowing they are being used."
Ji Yunlan nodded: "The same is true for the people of Mobei. Although they fought this battle, their elite forces were not deployed."
He felt that this battle was actually a bit frustrating.
The people of Mobei had no intention of confronting them head-on from the beginning. Instead, in order to cooperate with King Yong's conspiracy, the army lost many generals like Qian Rong.
Even he and his father almost fell into the trap.
Zhao Shen saw through his thoughts and said, "It's better not to fight if possible. Daxia can't withstand the current situation of war. Now that Wujina has become the King of Mobei, she is a clear-headed person and knows how to best benefit Mobei. So we must negotiate peace this time. There should be a lot of benefits to be gained."
Ji Yunlan felt a little sympathy for Wujina after hearing his calm words.
It was obvious that Zhao Shen had already decided to use the peace talks to get a piece of Mobei's meat.
He immediately felt relieved.
Even the queen has to feel aggrieved, so what is he?
And the current situation is indeed not good to continue fighting.
"Although Wujina has become the king of Mobei, she has just ascended the throne and may not be able to make those major tribal leaders submit. If you want to make too much, they may not agree."
He reminded.
After dealing with Mobei for a long time, he knew very well that the king of Mobei and the emperor of Daxia were completely different.
A strong emperor can completely control the court.
However, no matter how powerful the King of Mobei was, it was difficult for him to make all the tribes obey him.
Wujina still has a long way to go if she wants to truly unify Mobei.
