Chapter 181 I Don't Want You
No matter how chaotic the royal family is, ordinary people still have to live their lives as usual.
The broad avenue was filled with the prosperity of the Kingdom of Yue; the hawking sounds on both sides of the street alleviated the heaviness of last night.
The aroma of steaming buns, the windmills spinning in the hands of children as they run, the red candied haws with an alluring honey-colored sheen, the gentle breeze, the mild sunlight, and the great sense of disconnection after having just come out of the palace made Jun Lin purse his lips and remain silent.
The previous lord's rule was not good, but the Kingdom of Yue was rich and well-off, so it did not show much defeat. But what was going on inside? The ministers who had always been with the previous lord knew it best.
The ministers helped the former lord to train the troops and shared their knowledge to create an army of fierce and fierce soldiers. Now the Yue army can flexibly deploy most complex and obscure military formations to encircle and strangle the enemy.
Not everyone is Junlin, and not everyone can escape from this army.
If the Dajing Iron Cavalry trained by Junlin was invincible in terms of martial arts, then the Yue Army under the command of Gongqing was skilled in the art of Qimen Dunjia and focused on strategy.
The Yue troops he trained trusted and relied on the ministers very much. In addition, the investigation revealed the indisputable fact that the previous lord had tortured children and colluded with other countries. Their previous dissatisfaction burst out, and they were willing to follow the ministers to rebuild a clean and bright Yue country.
The secret plot was carried out silently and unknown to anyone. Even the former lord who was attacked was unaware of the killing because the heavy rain, thunder and wind covered up the sound of the killing.
The current King of Yue is a minister.
That gentleman and minister who is a master of strategy and has unparalleled talent.
It's a tricky situation.
Now the hard nut of Yue State has become even harder to crack.
Jun Lin was shocked. His senior brother really knew how to pick opportunities to take advantage of loopholes. The peace treaty stated that countries could not wage war against each other, but it did not say that they could not fight against themselves.
When the monarchs of various countries were off guard when the treaty was signed, he did not hesitate to launch an attack to seize the throne.
But whether as a relative or an opponent, she expressed her congratulations and praise for the official's work.
The ministers are capable. They have the ability to make people follow them and the ability to help the people get rid of the hypocritical previous lord.
Jun Lin's eyes lit up amazingly, and he squeezed the horse's belly tightly and said with high spirits: "Drive!"
Unexpectedly, a child suddenly appeared on the empty main road, chasing a bamboo dragonfly that was blown to the middle of the road by the wind. Just as he was about to bend down to pick it up, he saw a galloping horse raising its iron hoof and about to step down.
"Tuan Tuan!"
“Tsk.”
Jun Lin suddenly pulled the reins tight, with such force that the horse stopped in its tracks, raised its head and raised its front hooves to neigh loudly.
"Tuan Tuan!"
“Daddy…”
A man in plain clothes hurried over, squatted down and carefully checked the child's body, and asked anxiously: "Are you okay?"
The little boy, who was about five or six years old, was holding the bamboo helicopter in a daze, as if he had not yet recovered from the shock.
Jun Lin dismounted and walked up to the man to look at the child. His voice was a little softer: "Let's go to the clinic?"
Hearing this, the man raised his head and said, "The child must have just been frightened. Besides, it was Tuan Tuan who suddenly appeared in the middle of the road. It has nothing to do with you, young master."
Only then did Jun Lin notice that the man was very handsome. He looked like a fair-skinned scholar who had walked out of a painting, gentle and refined, with a gentle temperament. His silky black hair was lightly tied with a ribbon, his eyebrows were affectionate, his nose was high, and his beautifully curved lips were glowing with a light pink luster.
Tuantuan blinked his eyes and tears fell one by one. He threw himself into the man's arms and sobbed softly: "Wuwuwu Daddy... Tuantuan will never run around again... I'm sorry, big brother... Tuantuan just wanted to pick up bamboo dragonflies..."
The child was crying so hard that Jun Lin's eyelids jumped. She took out her wallet and handed it to the man: "I am also wrong in this matter. Take the child to have a thorough check-up and buy some food."
The man politely rejected her kindness: "Sir, there is no need to do this."
Seeing that the other party was very determined, Jun Lin hobbled over to buy a candied haws, rubbed Tuantuan's head with his other hand, and said in a good-tempered manner: "Tuantuan has already apologized to brother, and brother also did something wrong. Accept this candied haws and we will reconcile and stop crying, okay?"
There was a flash of surprise in the man's eyes.
Tuantuan nodded in his father's arms, wiped away his tears and took the candied haws. His childish voice was clear and crisp: "Yes! Tuantuan agreed to big brother!"
Jun Lin likes good children. She curled her lips at him, rubbed her head, jumped on her horse and said goodbye.
The man looked at the person who was leaving with a gentle gaze, then squatted down again and held the child in his arms, saying softly, "Tuantuan, don't leave your daddy's side next time."
Tuantuan nodded vigorously: "Okay! Tuantuan will definitely listen to me!"
The boy bit into the candied haws and his face wrinkled with sourness.
"Dad, when are we going back to Southern Xinjiang? Tuantuan wants to go back and play with the Luban Lock."
The man's dark eyes were bright and clear: "Tuantuan, wait a little longer."
Junlin didn't care about the little incident on the road. He rode back to the inn quickly, and Qichi and Yanyu immediately surrounded him.
The two of them basically sat at a table near the door and waited, staring closely at every customer who came in. After a long time, Jun Lin finally came back.
Jun Lin was surprised: "Why don't you go to your room to rest?"
Yu Yu was helpless: "It was Qi Chi who wanted to watch over her. I was afraid that the little girl would be unsafe alone, so I stayed with her."
Qi Chi said nervously, "Brother Yun is protecting me. By the way, Brother Lin, are you tired? Do you want me to massage your shoulders?"
"Are you thirsty? I'll pour you a cup of tea."
"Are you hungry? I'll ask the waiter to prepare a meal right now!"
"Do you need a shower? I'll go find someone..."
Jun Lin couldn't hold it any longer and made an impatient "tsk" sound.
Qi Chi was startled, clutching the corner of his clothes and looking at her anxiously.
No one knew that the anxiety in his heart was like a cold tide that was about to swallow him up.
"No need to be like this, I don't want you."
"I'm going to rest first. If there's anything urgent, you can report it at any time."
After saying this, Jun Lin went straight upstairs.
Qi Chi really loves to cry, and his eyes easily become red like a little rabbit.
He was wearing a beautiful long dress, his hair was delicately tied with a green hairpin, and under his thin eyebrows were round, moist cat eyes. Combined with his beautiful face, it was easy to arouse people's desire to protect him.
Yunyu counseled him like an older brother: "Don't be so cautious. If you don't have any intention of harming others, we will definitely not abandon you."
Having said this, he left, with wet eyelashes, just like a fragile and slender flower in the wind.
He is very scared.
I'm afraid of being left behind.
Qi Chi knew that he was useless, so he wanted to work harder and harder to show his own value.
I am somewhat useful. I can serve tea, run errands, give massages, and do everything. Please see some of my usefulness, so please don't reject me, okay?
After all, he is a young man who is innocent and indifferent to the world. Jun Lin can see through his little thoughts at a glance, so he said this.
No need to do that, I don't want you.
Perhaps the exhaustion of rushing when she said this made her face look bad, her tone not gentle, and her departure even more abrupt, but Qi Chi still felt the tenderness hidden under that somewhat cold appearance.
The boy wiped away his tears secretly.
You can't cry anymore.
You can't always be a burden.
He wants to change himself a little bit.
