Chapter 506: Triumphant Return Home
At this time, Yun Chenglu directly lifted her onto the warhorse, like a sack, and laid her across the horse with her butt facing up.
She had just caught a glimpse of the affection between Prince Jing'an and Yun Ran!
How come it becomes like this when it comes to her?
Yun Chenglu, this idiot!
As she was thinking, she felt dizzy. Yun Chenglu put his arm around her waist, put her down, and sat her in front of him.
"Of course you can. I thought you couldn't fight with your skills." Yun Chenglu said.
Miao Yi was speechless for a moment, clenched her fist and punched his chest: "The enemy is right in front of you, if you can't fight, you will die!"
"Haha, you have a good foundation!" Yun Chenglu patted her shoulder with his big hand, "When we get back, I'll teach you kung fu!"
Who wants to learn Kung Fu?
Miao Yi almost wanted to roll her eyes at him.
But when she looked up and saw Yun Chenglu's sparkling eyes, she nodded: "Okay!"
The Feiyun Army was composed of elite soldiers who were brave and good at fighting. Within an hour, they defeated the Nanlin Army.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining Nanlin troops surrendered voluntarily and expressed their willingness to submit to Miao Yi and support her as the new King of Nanlin.
Miao Yi then gave the order: "Anyone who can capture the eldest prince Mengrao Kuntu alive will be rewarded handsomely!"
In the end, the eldest prince Mengraokuntu was captured alive by his own soldiers. His armor was in tatters, his face was bruised and swollen, and several of his teeth were missing. He looked so miserable that he was completely different from his previous arrogant appearance.
At this point, the Nanlin Army was wiped out, and the Nanlin Kingdom was temporarily without its king and eldest prince. The situation was turbulent, the people in the country were in panic, and the situation was uneasy.
However, the one who was most worried was Miao Yi.
Originally, she didn't want to be the King of Nanlin, but she didn't expect that the King of Nanlin died in the end, and the eldest prince had inappropriate thoughts about Yun Ran and wanted to kill her.
The most important thing is that after the battle just now, these Nanlin soldiers were all willing to serve her as their king.
Outside the Nanlin City, corpses were still scattered all over the ground and there were almost no pedestrians on the streets. The people must have heard the noise and hid themselves.
Ye Jingzhen, Yun Ran, Miao Yi and Yun Chenglu stood at the door, watching their Feiyun Army resting on the spot while the defeated Nanlin Army dealt with the corpses and cleaned up the mess.
Miao Yi had a bitter face: "Sister Ran, what should I do now? The jade ring fell into my hand."
Seeing her like this, Yun Ran curled his lips and smiled: "Why are you worried? You are the King of Nanlin now. There has never been a queen in the history of Nanlin Kingdom."
Miao Yi was still frowning: "Don't make fun of me, I was born a commoner. I was chosen by the snake god to be given the surname Wang. I became a princess, but how could I become the King of Nanlin?"
"In your Nanlin Kingdom, is there no reliable and suitable candidate to succeed the throne?" Ye Jingzhen said.
Miao Yi's expression paused, but she quickly shook her head: "There are candidates, but they are unreliable."
Yun Ran thought of the royal children she had met at the welcoming banquet.
The second prince was a pale, frail young man who breathed heavily every few steps. The third prince was still a child of four or five years old. The remaining two were princesses, girls like Miao Yi.
"How about..." Ye Jingzhen raised his eyebrows, "Let Nanlin submit to Dakang. I think my royal brother will succeed to the throne soon and will definitely treat Nanlin well."
Miao Yi frowned slightly. She knew what surrender meant. If Nanlin were to be made a subordinate state of Dakang, the King of Nanlin would no longer be the ruler of a country, but a prince of a different surname of Dakang. The princess would become a county lady, and the prince would become a crown prince.
"It's not impossible." Anyway, she had no objection. Even if she was made the King of Nanlin, she would definitely lead Nanlin Kingdom to form an alliance with Dakang and pay tribute every year.
However, although the soldiers all recommended her, there were still two princes and two princesses in the royal family. As a princess who had been granted a title, it would be difficult for her to make a judgment alone even if she had the jade ring in her hand.
Seeing her worries and concerns, Yun Ran pondered for a moment and glanced at Yun Chenglu who was frowning and thinking about something.
He said, "Otherwise, let the second brother stay with you."
"Um?"
"I?"
Miao Yi and Yun Chenglu were both stunned, and then their faces turned red at the same time.
Yun Ran didn't point it out, but just said: "The situation in Nanlin is turbulent now. This mess will probably take a long time to clean up. Let my second brother stay and help you, so that you won't be bullied alone."
Ye Jingzhen also nodded: "Leave half of the troops behind to avoid any trouble. Once everything is settled, we can discuss whether Nanlin should surrender or not."
He was thoughtful and Miao Yi nodded: "Well, thank you, Prince Jing'an, for your advice. And Sister Ran, Brother Chenglu, you have worked hard too."
The three of them discussed it one after another and finally made the decision. Yun Chenglu was still a little confused. How come he was also included in the discussion?
"I...I'll stay too?" He raised his hand and scratched his head. "This isn't Nanlin Country's business. I'll stay and do..."
Before he could finish his words, Yun Ran interrupted him: "Second brother, now that we have won the battle, it is a good time to press on and pursue our victory."
"If you stay, you might be able to persuade the new King of Nanlin to submit to Dakang. That would be a great achievement for you!"
Yun Chenglu's eyes were deep, and he had indeed heard it.
"Well, what Ranran said makes sense. Then I will stay for a few more days until they can stabilize the situation in the country."
"Thank you, Brother Chenglu!" Miao Yi was delighted.
Yun Chenglu chuckled: "Well, what's the big deal? It's only natural for our two countries to benefit each other. It's only natural! If Nanlin submits to Dakang in the future, wouldn't that make our relationship even closer?"
Ye Jingzhen: ...
Yun Ran: ...
She really wanted to say, "Second brother, if you can't speak, then don't say anything, really."
Fortunately, Miao Yi doesn't care about these.
Now that it was settled, Ye Jingzhen and Yun Ran took a part of the Feiyun Army back to Dakang, while Yun Chenglu took the rest of the people to stay for a few more days and then return.
Yun Chenglu felt reluctant to see his sister leave with the young prince.
We just met a short while ago!
"Be careful on your way, and send me a message when you get there! Don't forget to tell my parents and grandma that you're safe!"
He kept on talking and Yun Ran agreed repeatedly.
The two talked for a while. Miao Yi looked at them with a smile, and suddenly something flashed through her mind.
She bit her lip, walked towards Yun Ran and said, "By the way, Sister Ran, I remembered something else."
"What's wrong?" Yun Ran asked.
"Yes...my brother." Miao Yi hesitated.
When the snake witch was mentioned, Ye Jingzhen and Yun Chenglu's faces darkened.
But Yun Ran knew the whole story and told them.
The snake wizard was dead, and the two of them didn't say anything else.
Miao Yi looked at Yun Ran seriously, and said word by word: "My brother... before he left, he asked me to bring you a message. He said... I'm sorry."
Yun Ran's thin lips moved slightly, and just as she was about to speak, Miao Yi grabbed her hand and said, "I know he is guilty of heinous crimes and has done many wrong things to you. I don't ask you to forgive him, Sister Ran, you don't have to say anything. I'm just helping him pass on a message."
Seeing her nervous expression, Yun Ran chuckled softly, pulled out his hand and patted the back of her hand: "You don't have to be so nervous, I just want to say that it's good that he can repent in the end."
Yes, it is good enough to be able to repent. Even King Nanlin and the eldest prince didn’t know what “repentance” meant until the end.
