Chapter 769 If the sky falls, King Luo will hold it up.
After saying this, Lin Yuesha first despised herself. She took personal attacks to the extreme, was hypocritical, and used moral blackmail to trick Yang Qing into joining her scheme.
Talent should not be buried, especially since the war in the Northwest is precisely the time when people are needed.
"Miss Lin, you have quite the eloquence. Whom did you act as an intermediary for?"
Yang Qing nodded repeatedly. The little girl's pronouncements sounded quite reasonable, but he didn't know whose opinion she meant.
He had a heart full of patriotism, but the world was ruled by treacherous officials and there was no justice. He was driven to a dead end and barely survived. Now they were asking him to serve the country again. It was the funniest joke he had ever heard.
"Miss Lin, I am not interested."
Yang Qing laughed heartily and turned to leave, but then heard someone behind him say, "If you think the Great Qi is bad, then go and build it. If you think the government is corrupt and wicked, then become an upright official. If you think the people are ignorant and foolish, then start by learning to change the people around you. This country has its flaws, but it is your homeland. We should work together to correct its strengths and weaknesses, instead of cursing, complaining, and running away. You hid in the Forty-Eight Villages and became a bandit. Even if you think you are a good bandit, you can't escape this label!"
Lin Yuesha took a deep breath and recalled how her own country had also come this far step by step. She revised these words, hoping to persuade Yang Qing.
"You choose your own path. You can choose to be a good official, good to the people and good to the soldiers, instead of watching those military supplies money be pocketed by scoundrels. If you are powerless to resist, you run away. That is a sign of cowardice."
Lin Yuesha wasn't satisfied and added, "Now, the capital is truly ruled by treacherous officials. If we don't drive the foreign tribes back to their homeland, we'll all become slaves of a conquered nation. Is that what you want to see?"
Who is behind you?
Yang Qing stopped, turned around, and took a few steps closer to Lin Yuesha.
"Who's behind this is anyone's guess, but he's a truly loyal and courageous person."
After Lin Yuesha finished speaking, her face flushed slightly. She had said "pockmarked face"? She could hardly contain herself at such a boast.
"It doesn't matter who it is, otherwise I wouldn't have come all the way to the Forty-Eight Villages to act as a lobbyist and purchase military supplies so that the soldiers could have a bite of meat."
Judging from Yang Qing's reaction, if we can persuade him a little more, there should be a chance.
“Miss Lin, since you can’t make the decision, find someone who can. I’ll talk to him again.”
Lin Yuesha was absolutely right, and Yang Qing deeply agreed. His dissatisfaction with the government and corrupt officials was not an excuse for him to hide. Besides, his good brothers were all men of honor; if they stayed in the Forty-Eight Villages, they would forever remain mountain bandits.
"No, she can make the decision."
Behind Lin Yuesha, a person wearing silver armor and an intricately carved mask emerged, obscuring almost his entire face.
"Brother Qi?"
Lin Yuesha was stunned. He had said that the situation was urgent and that he had gone back to the Northwest on business, but he didn't expect him to return so quickly and even appear in Mo Family Village.
"Who are you?"
Yang Qing was stunned for a moment when he saw the person who came, and then said excitedly, "You are... my benefactor?"
Xiao Qi nodded without refuting.
Yang Qing immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Qi. He would never forget that voice, even in death.
He escaped from the mine years ago, enduring wind and rain along the way. Due to severe injuries, he was left with only one breath left.
He remembered clearly that on that day, when he was suffering from a cold and was at his most desperate, a young man with a jade-like face looked at him coldly.
Yang Qing would never forget that look in his eyes. That young man applied medicine to his wounds and took him to an inn to recuperate.
"If my benefactor needs me, Yang Qing will risk his life to repay his kindness."
Upon seeing his benefactor from several years ago, Yang Qing was so excited that he couldn't contain himself and pulled Xiao Qi to drink and reminisce.
Lin Yuesha: ...
What's going on? The pockmarked woman wasn't known for being cold-hearted, and she even told her to mind her own business, yet she still saved quite a few people.
Wang Qiulan and her brother, and now there's Yang Qing.
Lin Yuesha was furious. That was bad enough, but the pockmarked man had to show up just when she was about to persuade Yang Qing, successfully intercepting her victory.
If she had known earlier that the pockmarked man was Yang Qing's benefactor, she could have simply used his kindness to repay the favor and that would have been the end of it. There was no need to waste her breath on this!
Yang Qing successfully found his benefactor and was about to have a drink with the pockmarked man when Lin Yuesha was instantly reaped the benefits of his efforts. She even suspected that it was all a scheme by the pockmarked man.
She originally planned to trick a few people onto her pirate ship, but in the end, she found that she herself had boarded the pirate ship of the pockmarked man. How does that feel?
Lin Yuesha heard the sound of her heart breaking, shattering into pieces.
Xiao Qi exchanged a few words with Yang Qing, then turned to Lin Yuesha and said, "The war in the Northwest is critical. I originally planned to leave you in Qincheng, but now that members of the Wei family have infiltrated Qincheng, it's not safe enough anymore."
Xu Da was risking his life on the front lines. He took care of some things first, but he was still worried and planned to take Lin Yuesha away to his own doorstep.
He received a message from his cousin Qi Lu that Zi Yuan had arrived, and not only that, but she also brought more betrothal gifts than he had, wanting to marry Lin Yue Sha.
Ziyuan's face put a lot of pressure on him. Besides, Ziyuan was richer and knew how to please women better.
Xiao Qi was uncertain, after all, his younger sister did not know his identity. If Zi Yuan were to speak carelessly and break their agreement, based on his understanding of Lin Yuesha, he would be doomed.
In a message to his uncle, Prince Luo, Xiao Chengyu, the prince came up with an idea that couldn't be worse.
"What?"
Lin Yuesha's expression changed drastically, almost in disbelief, "Young Master Luo's poison has taken effect?"
"Yes, Sister Yue Sha, you also know that he never married or had children in his life. He wanted to see us get married before he closed his eyes. He said that was his wish."
Prince Luo was usually unreliable, but he was good at coming up with bad ideas, so Xiao Qi immediately agreed.
Even if the lie is exposed in the future, it will be a white lie. Besides, King Luo will share half the burden with me.
Even if the sky falls, King Luo will hold it up!
Lin Yuesha opened her mouth, but her mind went completely blank.
When she arrived in Qincheng, she learned that the Prince of Luo had been poisoned, and that it was the Wei family who were behind it. Therefore, Physician Liao came specifically to find an antidote for the Prince of Luo.
"Is there really no other way? I mean, Young Master Luo's poison..."
Lin Yuesha was still very kind and cared about Luo Wang's injuries. Although that guy was a generation older than the pockmarked man, Lin Yuesha didn't feel much of a generation gap when they got along.
Anyway, both the uncle and nephew are pretty awful.
A scourge can live for a thousand years, yet the great scourge that was King Luo just died like that? She couldn't believe it!
Xiao Qi: ...He didn't believe it either, but besides that, what other good way or legitimate reason could he possibly have to deceive his little sister? There wasn't one.
Having already spoken, he could only try his best to cover up the lie, making the King of Luo sound as if he wished he could die from the poison at any moment.
