Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Willing to sink into the gentle land of my sister...
Yunqin took Jiang Daiyi on the carriage and left first. As for Qianxiang, he asked Siwu to go back and take people to escort him to the border.
On the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, the people were restless. But when Yun Qin appeared on the street just now, the people did not make much of a commotion, and only made some sarcastic remarks towards her.
I think someone must have instigated it that day. Even if he hated her, he shouldn't have acted so crazy. It seemed like he was deliberately provoking trouble.
So their departure from the royal city today was relatively smooth.
In the carriage, Yunqin was brewing tea on a small table. The hot water was steaming, and the whole carriage was filled with the fragrance of tea.
Jiang Daiyi picked up a cup and tasted it. It was not some expensive tea, but just an ordinary scented tea, but it happened to be the one Jiang Daiyi liked to drink.
Yun Qin said meaningfully, "Although this tea is ordinary, it tastes sweet. I'm sure my sister won't get tired of it."
Jiang Daiyi felt that Yunqin's words had a hidden meaning. She put down her teacup and moved on the cushion. She had originally been sitting opposite Yunqin, but now she had moved next to him.
Yun Qin remained expressionless, but his heart gradually warmed up.
When Jiang Daiyi was having dinner in the restaurant today, she heard Yun Qin whisper something. She didn't hear it clearly at the time, but now that she thinks about it carefully, it turns out to have a deeper meaning.
She looked up at Yunqin without saying a word. Yunqin lowered his eyes and looked away, refilling the teacup she had just emptied.
As soon as the drink was continued, Jiang Daiyi picked it up again and drank it all in one gulp.
Yun Qin paused while refilling the tea this time. He was a thoughtful person, so how could he not know what Jiang Daiyi meant by her current action?
He just mentioned a word, and she quickly sensed his dissatisfaction.
Jiang Daiyi's eyes were moistened by the heat, and her black eyes looked like a blurred ink painting, full of artistic conception.
After Yunqin poured three cups, he stopped pouring and just played with the cups, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment.
Jiang Daiyi took the cup from Yunqin's hand and poured herself another cup. How could this small cup quench her thirst? In her real life, she would drink a whole pot of milk tea.
Yunqin asked, "Sister, do you like drinking tea so much today?"
Jiang Daiyi knew that Yunqin had been unhappy recently because of her, so she decided to go all out to coax him. Otherwise, what would happen if he got angry and killed Qianxiang with a sword?
She said, "This flower tea tastes good, so I will naturally drink more."
Yun Qin's tone was a little light, "The flower tea is very sweet, sister, be careful not to drink too much, or you'll get sick of it again."
Jiang Daiyi smiled and said, "Brother, why can't you stop talking about the word 'tired' every three times today?"
Yun Qin was not annoyed when his thoughts were exposed. He retorted calmly, "Isn't it that my sister always says that I'm tired of you?"
Jiang Daiyi poured another cup of tea. She looked at the tea in it. Yun Qin's eyebrows and eyes were clearly reflected on the small cup of water. She simply looked into his eyes.
"It's human nature. When something loses its novelty, you get bored. For example, my brother and I have been together for a long time and we have become very familiar with each other.
Since we are familiar with each other and the novelty is gone, how can we not get tired of it? But I think my brother is really tired of me recently, otherwise why would he keep saying that he is tired of me?
Well, it’s time for us to separate for a while, just a little while will be fine…”
Muran's words were interrupted, and Jiang Daiyi was suddenly hugged by Yunqin and sat on his lap. The elegant cold fragrance surrounded her, leaving her nowhere to hide. Yunqin looked at her indifferently, and his light tea eyes were filled with dark mist.
"I'm tired of my sister?" He said in a flat tone, but the hand around her waist seemed to want to crush her and hold her in his arms.
Jiang Daiyi was still deliberately trying to piss him off. She retorted mercilessly, goading Yunqin, "Brother and I grew up together, so how could I not know what he's thinking? He doesn't like being around a lot of people. I've been hanging around him every day these days, and I think his patience has really run out."
She just said this to retort, what does it mean that his patience has reached its limit?
"Sister, you are really good at turning the tables." Yun Qin relaxed his grip a little, not caring about her little girl's temper. It was just a few words, but she was so fussy about it.
When Jiang Daiyi was little, she loved Yunqin's scent. It was light and pleasant. She snuggled into his arms, sniffed it slowly, and said, "Brother, the incense you wear has never been changed."
Yun Qin didn't take it seriously and subconsciously continued, "Because my sister said she likes it."
After saying this, even Yunqin was stunned for a moment. Jiang Daiyi sat up straighter and put her chin on Yunqin's shoulder. She bewitched him, "Brother, do you really think that what I like is incense?"
After traveling for a few days, they arrived at the border. However, compared to the scorching hot Yanling, the border was much cooler.
In the past few days, Jiang Daiyi has been staying by Yunqin's side every day. She would hug him and smell him whenever she had nothing to do. It is rare to see such harmony between them.
Jiang Daiyi and Yun Qin went to the border, but the situation at the border was much better than they had imagined.
King Huai Geng did not invade the State of Yan, and Song Lai did not urgently need Yun Qin's advice as stated in the letter.
Song Lai had already received the news that Yun Qin was coming. He came to meet the carriage wearing armor. Yun Qin got off the carriage first, and then helped Jiang Daiyi, who was wearing a veil, out of the carriage.
Yun Qin moved cautiously, and his usually calm eyes and brows were now filled with a hint of lingering affection.
Song Lai didn't recognize the woman behind the curtain at first, but looking at Yun Qin's reaction, he could figure out something, and it was most likely Jiang Daiyi.
The maids came with them in another carriage. The frontier military camp was full of men, and Jiang Daiyi was a girl who was afraid that she would feel bored without a few maids to keep her company.
Jiang Daiyi greeted Song Lai: "General Song."
Since the last incident of defending the city, everyone in the army knew Jiang Daiyi. Unlike the attitude of the common people towards her, most people in the army were grateful to Jiang Daiyi. If there had been no people from Tianque to help defend the city last time, who knows how many of their relatives would have been killed.
Song Lai smiled and said, "We are all one family here, and we are all of one mind. There is no need for you to wear this thing, and no one in the army will say anything bad about you."
The maid came over and was about to help Jiang Daiyi remove the curtain, but Yun Qin stopped her, saying, "The wind and sand are strong at the border. It's better for you to wear it when you go out, so as not to get blown away by the coarse sand and the wind."
This makes sense, but upon closer inspection it tastes like vinegar. Although the border of Yan State is mostly sandy, there are not strong winds every day. Apart from the more sand, most of the weather is quite normal.
Song Lai opened his eyes wide, looked at the bright sun in the sky, and then looked at the peaceful surroundings. He wanted to say that it was okay not to wear it. It would be tiring to sit in the carriage all the way, so it would be nice to let Jiang Daiyi get some fresh air. But Yun Qin didn't want to, so he didn't dare to open his mouth.
"Well, come here and take Miss Jiang and a few maids to a more comfortable tent. Master Yun's tent can be set up next to Miss Jiang." Song Lai sent someone to take Jiang Daiyi downstairs to rest first.
Jiang Daiyi leaned close to Yunqin through the curtains. Her hands passed through Yunqin's waist, nestled into his arms, and softly said, "Brother, I'm going to rest first. Remember to come and see me when you're done."
Even though Yun Qin couldn't see Jiang Daiyi's face, his tea eyes could still see the water dripping gently from the veil. Recently, he no longer wanted to care about what Jiang Daiyi was planning. He was only immersed in this moment of affection.
Yunqin's voice became even more gentle and soft: "Okay."
Song Lai, with his eyes wide open, had not yet come to his senses until Jiang Daiyi pulled herself out of Yun Qin's arms and left with her maid.
Although Song Lai knew Yun Qin's feelings for Jiang Daiyi, he also knew that Jiang Daiyi didn't like Yun Qin before. How could their relationship develop so rapidly in just a few months?
After Jiang Daiyi left, the warmth around Yun Qin gradually faded, and in a blink of an eye he returned to his former gentle and peaceful appearance. Although he was elegant, there was always a faint but unignorable sense of alienation between his eyebrows. He was not as approachable as when Jiang Daiyi was here just now.
Song Lai raised his eyebrows: "It seems that the young master is in a good mood recently."
Yun Qin did not deny it and walked towards the camp, "Let's go in and talk."
The two entered the tent. Song Lai first told Yun Qin about the recent situation in the State of Qian. King Huai Geng was already at the end of his strength. He did not dare to attack the State of Yan at will, but sent people from all sides to spread rumors and cause trouble, dragging it out to give the Qian army a chance to breathe.
But there was one thing. Song Lai frowned and said, "King Huai Geng seems to have someone behind him who can help him. He can predict every one of our plans in advance. Although King Huai Geng cannot defeat us, the State of Yan cannot do anything to him for the time being."
Yun Qin said, "There is indeed someone behind him who is plotting this, and that is why I am here."
Song Lai recalled the plan he and Yun Qin had come up with and asked, "Over in the Royal City..."
Yun Qin and Song Lai had planned earlier to follow the rumors spread by King Huai Geng and deliberately exaggerate the situation on the border and the strength of the Qian Kingdom in order to confuse Yun Qing and make him focus on solving internal problems in the court and have no time to take care of border affairs.
"Yun Qing was overjoyed upon ascending to power, and I'm afraid he's still immersed in his power and unable to extricate himself. I've already intercepted all the spies he sent here. General Song, don't worry about Yanling."
Song Lai said, "A few days ago, the spies said that King Huai Geng would launch a surprise attack on the night of the fifteenth, dividing the attack into four cities. The master behind him will personally lead a team to attack the eastern city. The people there are probably in the greatest danger."
Yunqin looked at the map on the table, "East?"
Yun Qin knew exactly who was behind King Huai Geng, but Qian Xiang had already been captured by him, so where could any expert come to help him?
Song Lai reminded, "To the east is Juxing Pass, five miles away. Strange phenomena often appear there, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. But King Huai Geng has indeed concentrated his main forces there. I really can't guess what he's trying to hide."
Yun Qin's eyes darkened.
A strange phenomenon appeared in the sky. He thought of Jiang Daiyi's abnormal behavior in recent days and the far-fetched words she said to force Qian Xiang out of Yun Mansion, which made him feel even more weird.
He originally wanted to follow Jiang Daiyi to see what she was up to, but now that he was here and Song Lai mentioned Juxing Pass, he had some bold guesses.
It's time for some of her secrets to come to light.
