Chapter 490: Conditions for Peace
Mo Yan lay on the ground for a long time before she was able to get up.
Yun Ran had kicked her mercilessly just now, and she felt so much pain all over her body.
She struggled to get up from the ground. Chilong was still standing beside her, staring at her dimly. She suddenly felt her hair stand on end.
She knew that although Ye Jinghua sent her here to contact King Nanlin, he still did not trust her.
Chilong said he was protecting her, but in fact he was also monitoring her.
The letter is gone, and she will definitely not be able to report back. Ye Jinghua has been getting more and more irritable these days because of the bad luck on the road. He might really beat her to death.
But she gritted her teeth and turned around to walk towards where Ye Jinghua and the others had set up camp.
I am not willing to accept this. I really am not willing to accept this!
She hated Yun Ran's condescending and pitying look.
ridiculous!
She has come this far, how could she quit halfway!
Hide somewhere where no one can find her and start a new life?
If she wanted to live that kind of life, she wouldn't have followed the Snake Witch! And she certainly wouldn't have gotten close to Ye Jinghua!
She just wanted to fight for this, she wanted to step on Yun Ran under her feet!
Her eyes were red and fierce, like the snake eyes of the red dragon beside her. Mo Yan glared at the red dragon, ignored it, and ran quickly towards the camp.
The red dragon watched her figure disappear into the woods, did not chase after her, and turned away in another direction.
…
Yun Ran brought the Lonely King back the same way, and Miao Yi and the Black King were still waiting for her there.
"Sister Ran, are you okay? What did I see?"
"Nothing, it was just a deer. I chased it on a whim." Yun Ran said with a smile, "I didn't catch it."
"Oh." Miao Yi had no doubt.
"Let's go back, the miasma is about to break out." Yun Ran said.
Without further delay, the two of them headed towards the camp.
Miao Yi didn't know Chen Xiaojuan, nor did she know the grudge between her and Chen Xiaojuan.
Yun Ran didn't say much to her. She just needed to go back and tell Brother Xiaojing and Second Brother about the secret letter and Chen Xiaojuan.
When they returned to the camp, most of the soldiers who had gone out to look for Luosu grass like them had returned. They were no longer in the mood to make soup, so they just ate some Luosu grass, packed up their tents, and set off directly.
Finally they walked out of the dark forest and were about to fight with Ye Jinghua and the others. Everyone was excited and wanted to take down the other side in one fell swoop.
The team headed towards the exit of the Black Forest leading to Blackrock Mountain at a very fast speed.
On the way, Yun Ran told Ye Jingzhen and Yun Chenglu about Chen Xiaojuan and the secret letter, and the three of them discussed countermeasures as they walked.
Soon, the huge team arrived at the exit of the black forest.
Ye Jingzhen gave orders and set up many traps and ambushes on the road leading to the exit of the Black Forest. Then he led the team out of the Black Forest as if nothing had happened.
Beyond the black forest was a vast plain covered with lush green grass, stretching as far as the eye could see. The endless black mountains in the distance must be the Black Stone Mountain they were heading to.
But the whole team stopped.
Ye Jingzhen frowned and looked at the purple-robed man who was only a hundred steps away from him.
Mengrao Kuntu was wearing a long purple robe with an intricate silver chain tied around his waist. On his head was a unique silver crown from the Nanlin Kingdom, which coiled around his braids like a silver snake spitting out its tongue.
"Young Prince Jing'an."
Mengraokuntu opened his arms towards them from a distance, as if to express his welcome, with a smile on his face.
Ye Jingzhen took a step forward and blocked Yun Ran behind him, his expression instantly turning cold.
"The eldest prince." His tone was indifferent, and he raised his eyelids coldly and glanced at the man who was full of coquettish air.
Mengrao Kuntu's smile remained unchanged: "My young prince has come a long way and traveled through mountains and rivers. You must have worked hard."
This time, Ye Jingzhen, Ye Jinghua and others came to attack Nanlin.
But now, what they faced was not a heavily guarded area with numerous traps, but the future heir of King Nanlin, the eldest prince, Mengrao Kuntu.
No one can let down their guard.
"The eldest prince must know why we're here this time," Ye Jingzhen said bluntly, "so, if you have something to say, please speak directly. If not, then let's just start a war."
"My king is pressed for time and has a heavy responsibility. After I've dealt with you, I'll have to deal with my eldest brother who's always courting death."
The joke was not funny at all, but Mengrao Kuntu burst out laughing.
"Young Prince, why are you so anxious? Look, I only brought these few servants with me. Am I here to fight a war with you?"
Ye Jingzhen sneered: "The eldest prince doesn't want to negotiate peace, does he?"
"Don't you think so?" The smile on Mengrao Kuntu's face grew even wider.
"condition."
"To negotiate peace, both sides need to sit down and talk calmly."
As he spoke, his dark eyes rolled and looked at Yun Ran who was protected by Ye Jingzhen behind him.
"This prince has come down the mountain in person to invite you. I only hope that the young prince can also show some sincerity."
Ye Jingzhen raised his eyebrows: "What kind of sincerity does the eldest prince want?"
"Hiss," Mengrao Kuntu took a breath and stared at Ye Jingzhen for a moment, "The young prince is a man of natural bravery. His murderous aura is too strong and he might offend our Snake God."
"How about this? I ask Miss Yun next to you to accompany me to Nanlin Royal City to negotiate peace on your behalf."
"No!" Ye Jingzhen refused flatly.
Mengrao Kuntu frowned, his face darkening instantly. "Young Prince, are you so anxious to refuse? Are you afraid that I might do something to her?"
"Yun Ran is my princess consort. It is unreasonable for her to go to Nanlin Royal City with you alone."
"Princess Miao Yi will also accompany them. What is the young prince worried about?" Mengrao Kuntu stared at Ye Jingzhen, a faint smile curling up at his lips.
At this point, Ye Jingzhen's patience was exhausted, and he said coldly: "Since the eldest prince is so dishonest, then let's start a war."
As he spoke, he was about to order the troops to be dispatched.
Mengrao Kuntu didn't expect Ye Jingzhen to start a fight over a disagreement. His face changed and he quickly said, "Wait!"
Ye Jingzhen looked at him coldly and was about to speak when his sleeve was pulled by someone behind him.
Yun Ran stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "Don't be impulsive. Don't forget the plan we discussed earlier."
Ye Jingzhen frowned and held her soft little hand tightly with his backhand: "No, I regret it."
Although it is a collaboration between inside and outside, it looks like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. How could Ye Jingzhen agree to it?
Yun Ran was helpless. She gently scratched Ye Jingzhen's palm with her fingers and softened her voice to act coquettishly: "Brother Xiao Jing, we agreed before..."
"Look, so far, I have guessed correctly. Once Sister Miao Yi and I successfully sneak into the Nanlin Royal City, we will be able to take over the Nanlin Kingdom in one fell swoop."
Ye Jingzhen's face was as dark as a dark cloud. He pursed his lips tightly and refused to speak: "If we just charge in directly, we can also capture Nanlin."
"But how many soldiers will be lost?" Yun Ran looked at him with a burning gaze. "Besides, once we capture Nanlin, Ye Jinghua will arrive with his troops and reap the benefits. Our soldiers will be wounded or disabled, and we really have no chance of winning."
Ye Jingzhen certainly knew all this, but how could he let Yun Ran go and take risks alone?
"Young Prince," Miao Yi suddenly spoke up, "Don't worry, I will never let anything happen to Sister Ran."
