Chapter 31 Chapter 31 I heard that Miss Yunyi is extremely beautiful.
The moment she opened her mouth, Yunqin's eyes became as dark as a deep mountain lake.
It was obvious whether she was leaving the Yun family or avoiding him.
Jiang Daiyi explained her reasoning: "Brother, you should have received the news that Yan and Qian are about to go to war, right?"
The State of Yan had vast territory and abundant resources, but insufficient military strength. In these chaotic times, it would naturally attract the covetousness of other countries.
According to past practice, it was just a matter of exchanging a city with excellent natural resources at the border for a dead city.
It has been like this for many years.
But this time, Yunqin does not intend to let other countries act recklessly.
He wanted to persuade King Xianglin to fight.
Luoyan City happens to be located between the Yan and Qian realms. If Yan wins, this place will definitely become an important place connecting the two countries.
As for Jiang Daiyi knowing the news of the war, he was not surprised. It was just through Tianque, or she had secretly cultivated her own power.
The girl's eyes are soft and bright, like the brilliant fireworks in the sky at the end of the year.
"Everyone in the Yun family has their own things to do. The elders have experienced life and death several times and have no time to spare. I don't want to stay behind my brother forever."
The soft breath unique to a young girl brushed against Yunqin's nostrils, like the light fragrance of flowers in spring.
"I've told my brother a long time ago that even though I'm of the Yun family's bloodline, in my mind, I want to do what I should do." Jiang Dai intended to discuss with him.
There is a hint of ink in her watery eyes, which blends harmoniously with the white space, creating a beautiful scene.
Yun Qin turned his head slightly, and the girl's appearance became more and more mature. Just standing there, she was more beautiful than any freehand painting by a famous artist.
He looked at her, as if in deep thought, his thoughts unreadable.
After a moment, he surprisingly did not refuse, and said calmly: "Have you thought about it?"
Jiang Daiyi didn't think he would agree, and wanted to find an opportunity to slip away and do it first and ask for his consent later.
But his words at this moment left her room for maneuver.
Jiang Daiyi's eyes turned slightly and she nodded gently.
Yun Qin: "Okay, I won't ask, nor will I interfere with your decision, but there's just one thing: don't even think about leaving the Yun family."
She has never been willing to be succumbed to the present situation. She wants to live facing the sun. He will respect her choice, but that does not mean she can leave him without restraint.
"Brother," she said happily, her dark eyes faintly shining, "thank you."
Yun Qin said, "Then let's finish collecting the herbs first and then do what you want to do, okay?"
Jiang Daiyi looked at Yun Qin, who had a gentle temperament. He seemed to have returned to the time when they first met seven years ago. He always had a gentle and calm expression and a suave look, which was not as suffocating as it was a few days ago.
The girl picked up the two backpacks on the ground, and her figure became much lighter, as if a stone pressing on her body had finally been removed for some reason.
Her soft tone was flattering, and seemed like a reward for his willingness to let go.
"I'll help my brother get it."
Yun Qin looked at Jiang Daiyi who was overjoyed and did not spoil her fun. He just reminded her: "Walk carefully."
Jiang Daiyi did not refuse his kindness. She took Yunqin's hand and urged him on.
The girl walking in front thought that she had caught a trap and was completely immersed in the joy of success. She didn't notice the change in Yun Qin's expression who was following behind her.
The boy's gentle expression gradually faded, and was replaced by an inscrutable dark color.
He looked at his long fingers held by Jiang Daiyi. The ink-stained bones intersected with the slender white and soft fingers, as if they could immediately carve out a thrilling scroll of bondage.
The mountains are full of medicinal herbs. In fact, as long as there is a doctor in Luoyan City, he can easily help the people.
Unfortunately, in a lifeless city like this, anyone with some ability would have fled early, leaving behind only some weak people who were unable to leave.
Although there were not many people in the city, the herbs in two backpacks were far from enough.
After returning from collecting herbs that day, Yun Qin asked the secret guards to light the herbs in the basket and search for them widely.
Afterwards, Yun Qin originally planned to hand this place over to the secret guards and take her back to Yanling to deal with the impending war between the two countries.
But she didn't want to stay with Yunqin. Since Yunqin had already promised to let her do what she wanted, he naturally would not force her to go back.
So she stayed in Luoyan City, and the secret guards would help her transfer all the people in Luoyan City to the territory of Yan State.
The war is coming, and Luo Yancheng will be the first sacrifice.
Yun Qin had already rushed back to Yanling. He was now in the royal palace discussing matters with King Xianglin together with the ministers.
"That's simply too much. Although we are short of troops, if Yan State really fights against Qian State, they may not gain the upper hand."
"But the king has always been known for his virtue and benevolence. If this incident leads to war, the people will suffer, and the king will undoubtedly be condemned."
"We can't just hand over a city every year, right? If we continue like this, where will our Yan territory be? Where will Great Yan survive?"
"What if we can't win the war?"
“…”
King Xianglin on the throne was extremely absurd. Even in the majestic hall, he was still surrounded by beauties.
He frowned, his breath a little weak as he spoke: "Alright."
The ministers fell silent for a moment. Although the king was absurd, this chaotic world was not caused by one person. Other countries were no less responsible than King Xianglin.
Prince Xianglin turned his gaze from the beauty in his arms to Yun Qin, the only calm and composed person in the hall. He asked Yun Qin for his opinion, "Yun Qing, what do you think?"
A group of ministers in official robes were divided into two groups and stood on both sides. Only Yun Qin was wearing a loose plain robe, which made him look bright and handsome.
Speaking of which, the ancestors of the Yun family were not from Yan, so the people of the Yun family could be considered as guests of King Xianglin.
Yun Qin raised his hand and bowed, his expression calm. "Whether to fight or not, I'm sure General Song Lai understands the pros and cons better than I do. Your Majesty might want to listen to the general's opinion."
When King Xianglin heard this, he thought it made sense. Song Lai was a military general and had been in the army for many years. He was indeed more experienced than Yunqin in this regard.
Song Lai stepped forward and expressed his thoughts: "Your Majesty, I believe that simply ceding territory in exchange for peace will only lead other countries to follow suit. Therefore, this war must be fought."
As soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately opposed by many ministers.
"How can this be possible? The other nations have only just begun to find peace. If Yan State starts this again, won't we become the guilty party?"
"Yeah, that makes sense."
“…”
"Nonsense! Which country hasn't fought a war? Only our Yan State became a criminal after fighting a war?"
It's all useless quarrels.
Prince Xianglin glanced around and his gaze fell on Yunqin again. He said impatiently, "Yunqin, you should speak first."
His Highness is not even twenty years old yet his words and actions are much more prudent than those of the veteran ministers.
In the past, when the ministers had no ideas to offer or were arguing with each other, Yun Qin standing among them was enough to calm people's hearts. After all, the power of the entire Yun family was behind him.
He said calmly, "I think General Song Lai's words are inappropriate. Yan's military strength is not enough to compete with other countries. If we go to war, we will suffer great losses."
The ministers in the hall were not surprised. Yun Qin cared about the people. Once a war broke out, the first people to be affected would be the people. According to his temperament, even if he had the ability to fight, he would not advise against fighting.
Every time he received a declaration of war in the past, he always expressed opposition, but at that time King Xianglin was only concerned with eating, drinking and having fun, so he had no extra time to think about these things.
Normally, all state affairs were handed over to Yunqin for handling. If Yunqin was not around, Prince Xianglin would only reluctantly take a look at them.
Therefore, he trusted Yunqin very much.
It's a pity that Yun Qin has become very famous in the past two years and seems to be more powerful than the king. Although King Xianglin is absurd, the royal majesty cannot be violated by outsiders.
Therefore, Prince Yixianglin intentionally or unintentionally gradually undermined the power of the Yun family in secret, fearing that the Yun family's power would continue to grow and pose a threat.
Yun Qin naturally knew all this, and repeated targeting was too obvious.
Under such blatant suspicion, everything he said and did would be questioned by King Xianglin. Therefore, if he wanted to persuade King Xianglin to go to war, he could only speak the opposite at this time.
"My Yan State is vast, so I'll just give it to you if you give me a city. As for the declaration of war from the Qian State, it's just a pretext to gain advantage..."
Before Yun Qin finished speaking, Prince Xianglin nodded to His Highness Song Lai, signaling him to leave.
Song Lai saluted and retreated, and when he turned around, he snorted coldly at the young man who was still analyzing the situation.
Yun Qin's words came to an abrupt end. He didn't care about Song Lai's slightly provocative snort, but after Song Lai stepped down, he looked at the person on the throne.
Seemingly confused.
The king said coldly, "General Song Lai has been stationed at the border for many years, repelling countless enemies and winning countless battles. Let him handle this matter."
The ministers in the hall looked at each other, obviously shocked by the king's attitude.
After all, Yun Qin had always been a man of his word, and King Xianglin trusted him very much.
But now the posture is somewhat leaning towards General Song Lai.
The emperor's mind has always been changeable.
To be precise, it is because the emperor is suspicious, and suspicion creates hidden dangers all his life.
Yun Qin remained calm and said, "Since the king has already made a decision, I will not say anything more."
Prince Xianglin nodded and suddenly talked about another matter. He said, "Compared to this matter, I would like Yunqing to do something else."
Yun Qin said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please speak. I will not refuse even if I die."
Prince Xianglin raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
Yunqin: "Yes."
King Xianglin no longer kept the secret and spoke straight to the point.
"I've heard that Miss Yun'e is incredibly beautiful. I intend to take her into the palace as my concubine, pampering her with all my heart. I wonder if you, as her brother, have any objections?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the magnificent hall suddenly became cold and choking.
Yun Qin raised his eyes slightly, and there was a calmness in his eyes.
He raised his eyes to look at the person in the high position, as if he had misheard, and opened his mouth calmly, with an ambiguous smile on the corner of his lips.
"Your Majesty, I didn't hear what you just said."
King Xianglin sensed the slightly changing dangerous aura around Yun Qin, and was also quite afraid of this thoughtful young man.
Heroes emerge in troubled times, and Yun Qin seems to be born for troubled times. He is meticulous and scheming, and any calculations and conspiracies can be easily controlled by him. He can remove all obstacles silently without getting his hands stained with blood. His terrifying side is enough to scare anyone.
The reason why Prince Xianglin was able to sit firmly on the throne was probably due to Yunqin's methods. Now that he was being stared at by him like this, Prince Xianglin actually felt that he should not have said that.
But having been in a high position for many years, he was accustomed to looking down on the world, so how could he be easily frightened by a minister?
For the sake of the emperor's majesty, one must not be intimidated by his aura.
King Xianglin spoke deliberately, enunciating each word and adopting an extremely tough tone, without realizing that he had touched Yun Qin's sore spot.
"I intend to take your sister Yunyi as my concubine and send her to the palace on a chosen day. What do you think, Yunqing?"
There seemed to be a storm brewing in Yun Qin's indifferent gaze. He had a false smile on his face, but traces of oppression poured out of him without any concealment.
The aura of the superior instantly filled everyone's eyes.
He looked cold and clear.
Look up and look down.
The flash of disdain that flashed across his face was like a throne high in the sky, and he should be the one sitting on it.
Yun Qin spoke each word with a firm refusal: "Your Majesty, no."
There seemed to be endless coldness on his face, and the smile at the corners of his lips also turned cold at the right time, but his voice was gentle like a warm breeze.

How bold of you to covet my sister!
