Chapter 342 How can I compare with her?
Wei Guang and Luo Fei left the Prince's Mansion, and Wei Guang sighed.
Luo Fei asked, "Is Lu Chenyang really that powerful? I don't believe there's such an omnipotent person in this world. I'm afraid Lu Chenyang has taken all the credit for his subordinates' achievements."
How could there be such a perfect person? Luo Fei didn't believe it anyway.
Wei Guang frowned and scolded him, "Be careful with your words! This is in the capital, it's fine if you say it, but if you continue to speak so recklessly at Yanhui Pass, don't blame me for being ruthless!" He paused and sighed, "You are from the Crown Prince's Mansion, and you represent the Crown Prince when you go out. The Crown Prince cannot afford to be at odds with Lu Chenyang right now, so don't cause trouble for him."
Luo Fei nodded: "I know, there are no outsiders here, right?"
Wei Guang sighed, feeling even more tired and having a headache, and it seemed like he was going to have more white hair.
Yan Xing didn't care what the Crown Prince thought. In his eyes, the so-called peace delegation sent by the Crown Prince was little more than a decoration. He knew very well that the main target of this peace negotiation was still Lu Chenyang, and all the terms would only be valid if Lu Chenyang agreed.
Of course, he was very confident in Lu Chenyang. With Lu Chenyang around, the Tatars could not be a match for Lu Chenyang no matter how hard they tried.
Yan Xing has such confidence in Lu Chenyang!
Yan Xing is going to Yanhui Pass and has to arrange some things.
Military affairs were one thing, but with Cao Wenkai around, Yan Xing wasn't too worried. Cao Wenkai, aside from anything else, was a cautious man, so defending the city would be no problem. Besides... the Yilin Army probably didn't have the guts to provoke him right now, so Lu Chenyang had plenty of time to deal with him.
The most troublesome thing about Yanxing is Zhao Qingwan.
A year ago, she came to Yan Xing with Lu Chenyang's secret, hoping to get a chance to stay with Yan Xing. But unexpectedly, Yan Xing did not fall for it and directly placed him under house arrest in order to keep the secret.
At that time, Zhao Qingwan was sent to a separate room. Yan Xing asked her, "How could you, a pampered young lady from an official family, want to travel such a long distance to accompany the team to deliver food?"
Zhao Qingwan was clearly frustrated and said in a low voice, "It's because Lu Xueyin... She's a woman, yet she was able to enter the court and become an official. I've been educated since I was a child, and I'm brave, wise, and scheming. If she can achieve something, why can't I?"
Yan Xing: “…”
Yan Xing rarely felt speechless in his life, but after hearing these words, he felt speechless like never before.
Actually, at first glance, this statement is correct. Lu Xueyin can do it, so why can't she? We are all women, there is no reason for her to be trapped in the boudoir.
but……
Yan Xing thought for a moment and said, "You are indeed very brave and have the courage to go out, but you don't have a clear understanding of your own strength. You only see that you and Lu Xueyin are both women, but before she went to Lingnan, she had already escorted many times with her family's escort company. She is a strong martial artist and has the ability to protect herself. Moreover, although she is not the real Lu Chenyang, the articles she wrote after becoming an official also show her talent. She is both civil and martial, with unparalleled strategy and smooth worldly wisdom. How can you compare to her? I'm not looking down on you, I'm talking about everyone. How many people in the world can compare to her?"
Lu Xueyin's abilities were no longer gender-specific. Not only women, but how many men could achieve her accomplishments? For a truly capable person, gender was the least important factor.
Lu Xueyin is such a person. It doesn't matter whether she is a man or a woman. Even if this world respects men, even if this is a patriarchal society, Lu Xueyin's ability is enough to make people ignore all this!
How dare Zhao Qingwan do what she did just because she thought they were both women?! How dare she?!
Zhao Qingwan was unconvinced and said, "Brother Prince, do you look down on me so much? I know I can't compare to Lu Xueyin, but it's just a matter of delivering food, and I have guards to protect me, so I can still do it."
Yan Xing said, "This is what I'm talking about. You thought you knew a secret and came to make a deal with me. Before you had absolute strength, you dared to provoke me. I locked you up as a lesson." He sneered, "If your Jiang family wasn't still useful to His Royal Highness, you wouldn't be locked up today!"
Zhao Qingwan understood and her face turned pale.
Zhao Qingwan couldn't help but take a step forward and held his arm, her eyes full of expectation: "Brother Prince, you still remember the relationship between us, right? You are not completely without feelings for me, right?"
Yan Xing looked at her and sighed again: "It's because you are the daughter of the Zhao family. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still needs the Zhao family. Killing you will make it difficult to explain to the Zhao family."
Zhao Qingwan shuddered all over, as if she couldn't believe it.
"You lied to me. Are you still angry about me returning the jade pendant to you?" Zhao Qingwan asked anxiously, "I... I didn't want to do it. I was forced to do it. It was my brother..."
Yan Xing shook off her hand and subconsciously flicked the corner of his clothes that she had pulled.
