Cheng Ying smiled bitterly: "Jiaojiao, if I don't use hot weapons, I can only sit and wait for death."
Yu Jiao's throat suddenly felt like it was blocked. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
"Liu Ziqi has already proclaimed himself emperor in Shengjing." Cheng Ying looked at her, "Jiaojiao, he can't tolerate me, and Yu Qizhe can't tolerate me either."
This was tantamount to telling Yu Jiao that if he didn't use hot weapons to deal with the situation, his only fate would be death.
Yu Jiao's lips were dry because she had been standing in the night wind for too long. It was a little painful when she pursed her lips. She held Cheng Ying's hand tightly. She would never watch her senior brother die in front of her again in this life.
"Brother, can you let me go meet Liu Ziqi?" Yu Jiao was concerned about his emotions and did not dare to mention Yu Qizhe. "I'll go talk to big brother. There will always be a choice other than a lose-lose situation."
Cheng Ying glanced at her tightly held hand and shook her head: "I have already discussed the conditions with Yu Qizhe. As long as Liu Ziqi agrees to my conditions, there will be no more casualties, and I can also hand over Xianyang."
Yu Jiao didn't know why she didn't feel relieved when she heard this. Instead, she felt a little uneasy. She tried to ask, "Brother, can I know what terms you negotiated with him?"
Cheng Ying looked at her deeply and changed the subject: "I remember that you used to love going to the beach to watch the sunrise. Can I take you to Jiaxing in a few days? There are many fishing villages by the sea, and the sunrise and sunset are very beautiful."
Yu Jiao hadn't gotten over the previous topic yet. She was a little confused: "Why did you suddenly go to Jiaxing?"
"It's been many years since I went to the beach with you to watch the sunrise." Cheng Ying's eyes showed a trace of reminiscence, and his expression became much gentler and more affectionate. His voice was a little hoarse, "I don't want to die with regrets in my heart. Time flies, especially when you are by my side. I hope to do things related to you as soon as I think of them."
He was always a step late and missed Yu Jiao. They had already wasted too much time and there was not much time left.
Cheng Ying had a sense of urgency and crisis, even though he had already arranged everything in advance.
But Yu Jiao made him full of uncertainty and uneasiness.
Yu Jiao couldn't help but feel a little sad when she heard him say that. She forced a smile and said, "How could that be? Senior brother, we are still very young and we will have a lot of time in the future."
No matter what the cost, she would never let anything happen to her senior brother. Yu Jiao secretly made up her mind that she had to find an opportunity to have a good talk with her elder brother. In her previous life, it was her senior brother who protected her, and now it was her turn to stand up and protect him.
Cheng Ying looked at her young face. The time they missed had piled up into years. He might not have another twenty-one years.
Yu Jiao saw the sadness in his eyes, and she softened her heart and said, "How many days does it take to get from Xianyang to Jiaxing? Should I bring some extra clothes to see the sea now?"
Cheng Ying came back to her senses and heard her agree. A hint of joy appeared in her tone: "It's only a three or four day journey. I'll have someone pack the luggage. You don't have to pack."
"Then when do we set out?" Yu Jiao thought about the battle he had already had with Xiao Ning's army today, and asked, "Can we leave Xianyang right now?"
Cheng Ying stroked her hair and said without hiding anything: "I will leave again in a few days, waiting for Liu Ziqi to reply to my letter."
Hearing that they were not in such a hurry to leave, Yu Jiao felt relieved and said to Cheng Yingyang in a soft tone: "Brother, what conditions did you negotiate with him? Liu Ziqi loves me very much, I can write a letter to him for you."
Cheng Ying said softly, "You don't have to get involved in these things." He glanced out the window, "It's getting late, go to bed early."
