I do not understand
In the bright lobby.
Everyone unconsciously started discussing again, until Meng Shuangfu finally stopped talking and turned to look at the girl in the main seat. Everyone then woke up from a dream and broke out in cold sweats.
They all faced the main seat, bent down, lowered their heads, and kept their mouths shut in fear.
Jiang Jingyuan paused and said, "Destroy the entire barrier of Lin Country."
Everyone immediately became serious and responded with a "yes".
No matter how they plan their subsequent attacks, they must always prevent the Lin Kingdom from establishing a new barrier across the country.
It is precisely because Yuan Country has a barrier across the entire territory that Jiang Jingyuan knows how difficult this thing is to deal with.
Although Lin Kingdom's barrier is not as diverse as Yuan Kingdom's, it is still a difficult and almost impenetrable thing - either wait or fight hard.
A relentless fight will only result in losses for both sides, while other countries will reap the benefits.
Wait... It could have been avoided, but it wasn't. At that moment, I don't know whose head fell first.
"Prince Huai left the decision-making."
Jiang Jingyuan said this, and when everyone was stunned and hadn't reacted yet, he stood up and walked out.
She wants to go back and catch up on some sleep.
…………
Lin country.
In every city, flames surged like huge waves, sweeping across streets and houses.
Screams and curses were heard, and burning, killing and looting broke out in an instant amid the clanging of gunfire.
"You bastard, worse than pigs and dogs, get out, get out!!"
"Put it down! Don't take it, don't take it—"
Although the troops of Mingyuan Kingdom had not yet arrived, everyone inside was in a panic.
Countless people rolled up their bags, threw them on their shoulders and ran away. As they passed by houses, they couldn't help but think -
These days, talismans and elixirs are nowhere to be found, let alone magical instruments.
Why not go and take a look?
Those who are still here and haven't escaped during this period...
Either you have something to rely on and give it a try; or you just wait to die. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. You are useless after they die, so it is better to benefit others.
Coincidentally, everyone in Lin Country had the same idea.
We have been living like this for so many years, who doesn’t understand who?
Those who wanted to stay and see what was going on—
If you don't want to be beaten and become an unlucky person, you can either join in the burning, killing, looting and fleeing, or rise up and fight back.
Rising up to resist, time and time again, wave after wave, with the will but not the strength, there will always be a time to fall, struggling to hold on but unable to hold on, packing up your bags and running away in silence——
You've already escaped. Everyone else is burning, killing and looting. Should you just run away like a fool?
I have to find a way to make up for my previous losses, right?
They are all honest people, unlike those bandits and robbers. They don't want to take more, they just want to make up for their losses.
Everyone's eyes flickered.
The gorgeous flames surged rapidly, wave after wave.
Under the sky, there is a purgatory where ghosts cry and a carnival feast... people dance and sing in a twisted and struggling state.
Be crazy or not, be crazy or not.
…………
The hot wind gradually became refreshing, and was also slightly chilled.
The flames of war cannot be extinguished.
Brush la la——
Countless pieces of letter paper flew around in the wind, like birds soaring across the sky, alternating and burning up bit by bit in the candlelight.
call--
The ashes burned black and scattered on the wet soil.
Day after day, month after month.
Boring, desperate, and irritable.
A group of people in exquisite clothes walked towards them from afar, and they saluted solemnly on the black and red scorched earth.
Everyone in the Meng family narrowed their eyes, smiled politely, and gestured with their hands:
"Messenger, please—"
In the city.
A mansion house.
In the past few months, people from the northern border of Yuan Kingdom have gathered together again countless times.
Jiang Jingyuan was sitting in the main seat, with Jiang Jingqian sitting beside him. Among the familiar figures in the hall, there were gradually more faces that were almost fading in everyone's memory.
It was not until the number of strangers gradually increased that everyone realized the situation and froze in shock.
Meng Qiyun looked at the unfamiliar faces calmly, and then silently stopped the anxious people next to him.
He lowered his eyes.
So what?
Meng Shuangfu is the guiding star of the North. She is the future recognized by the North... How can these ordinary people shake her position?
How can the Lian family... and other clans and other people with different ideas shake the Meng family's position in the northern border and the entire Yuan Kingdom?
While thinking this in his heart, Meng Qiyun's eyes and brows contained a hint of solemnity.
Everyone in the Meng family also lowered their eyes and remained silent.
People from Diqu City are trouble. They all treat her with great respect and live in fear for months, worrying that they might accidentally anger her.
She hadn't trusted them at all for so long, and she insisted on interfering in the affairs of the North, insisting on making them worry about both inside and outside the North so that she could control them. It was really...
Everyone's heart trembled, and they instinctively felt a panic in an instant, and dared not think any further.
"Your Highness, should we ask the Lin Kingdom to cede territory in exchange for peace?"
While everyone was silent, Pingjiang Hou did not get involved in the entanglement and confusion of the people behind him, and unexpectedly took the initiative to ask.
Suddenly, everyone in the Meng family raised their eyes, their gaze fell on the tall figure, and then they retracted their gaze in an instant.
They looked cautiously at Meng Shuangfu who was standing beside them.
Meng Shuangfu's face looked calm, with a shy smile still on her lips.
——seemed unaware.
Everyone lowered their eyes with guilt.
"No."
At this moment, a clear and resonant voice suddenly sounded from the front.
No……
No no no, no?
Everyone was stunned.
What does no... mean?
Not asking Lin Kingdom to cede land?
ah?
Everyone looked up in shock, and the girl in white looked calm.
…………
inside the house.
The people from Yuan and Lin sat opposite each other.
The envoy from Lin State had a smile on his face and a gentle and submissive attitude.
On the Yuan Kingdom's side, some had a slight smile on their lips like Jiang Jingqian, while others had a serious face like Pingjiang Hou.
——Jiang Jingyuan is not here. He is recuperating in his own residence.
Lin's envoy looked around calmly. His Highness Changsheng was clearly in the northern border, but he did not show up. Only Prince Huai and Marquis Pingjiang were there.
This is...
It's quite a compliment.
Otherwise, why would Prince Huai and Marquis Pingjiang have to come in person for this first confrontation?
Lin's envoys thought to themselves, so these people want to negotiate peace?
Thinking about it, one person spoke decisively, and after a few simple pleasantries, he got straight to the point:
"The cause of the war between Yuan and Lin was truly a misunderstanding. Lin is a nation that lives and works in peace and contentment, and would never initiate a war..."
Jiang Jingqian and Pingjiang Hou did not speak.
Beside him, Meng Qiyun said in surprise, "Oh," "Misunderstanding?"
"It's definitely a misunderstanding!"
The man from Lin Country spoke with a firm tone and a hint of hatred:
"My Lin Nation is wronged! Our two countries are relatives by marriage and have been allies for many years. How could we commit such a shameless act of breaking the agreement? This must be a frame-up by someone with ulterior motives! Their goal is to provoke a fight between our two countries so that he can..."
Meng Qiyun's face showed an expression of attentive listening. After hearing this, he asked very seriously:
"Who framed him?"
The Lin Kingdom envoy was momentarily choked by his words, paused for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "My Lin Kingdom will certainly assist Yuan Kingdom in investigating this matter."
Then, he quickly changed the subject, his face filled with heartache and sorrow:
"The Emperor of Lin State has remained calm because he trusts Yuan State. I never imagined that the Emperor of Yuan State would be so distrustful of us. He was instigated by others to invade Lin State. In just a few months, he has turned Lin State upside down. The people are displaced and the hearts of the entire court are chilled..."
Meng Qiyun narrowed his eyes, and in an instant, his face became focused and serious again.
Suddenly, the Lin Kingdom envoy changed the subject:
"Your Majesty cannot bear to see the people of both countries suffer, but he also knows that the Majesty of Yuan Kingdom is mentally unstable and His Royal Highness is bound by an oath. With no alternative, we are willing to cede four cities to His Royal Highness to maintain friendship between the two countries."
Huh? Cession of territory?
Everyone in Yuan State was silent.
Who would cede land right away without even bargaining? What a weak and humble attitude that is.
It was as if they couldn't wait to give up the city so that the enemy would not attack again.
Weak and humble——
It is to make people feel dissatisfied and evil.
The envoys from the Lin Kingdom cried bitterly and were heartbroken.
Meng Qiyun asked again with a serious look on his face: "You want to cede land?"
"Yes, yes." The envoy of Lin Kingdom nodded sadly.
Meng Qiyun asked, "How many cities do you want to cede?"
The people of Lin Nation paused, wondering if these people were dissatisfied. But they still said, tearfully, "The four cities congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Yuan Nation on his ascension to the throne."
Meng Qiyun had the map spread out and asked, "Which four cities?"
The envoys from the Lin Kingdom were well prepared, their faces filled with grief, and one of them pointed at the four cities with a trembling finger.
The people of Yuan State stared at the four cities he pointed at, which were the four cities connecting Yuan State.
The Lin envoys shed silent tears.
Just when they thought the people of Yuan State had no objection, Meng Qiyun asked again: "Why do you want to cede land?"
Envoy Lin paused, feeling strange, wondering if this man had a mental problem. He repeated a few words over and over again, as if he hadn't understood or remembered them.
Why would the Yuan Kingdom send such a person to negotiate?
Is this going to mean there will be no successor?
Everyone in Lin Nation unconsciously felt contempt, but they still responded, "My Lin Nation is unable to fight any longer. We offer four cities to congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on his ascension to the throne."
"Why are you unable to fight anymore?" Meng Qiyun asked seriously.
Everyone in Lin Country: “???”
No, this guy has a problem with his brain?!
Cede land in exchange for peace, cede land in exchange for peace, just tell me whether you agree or not. What kind of questions are you asking?
They turned their eyes to Jiang Jingqian and Pingjiang Hou, trying to get them to speak and express their opinions.
Jiang Jingqian and Pingjiang Hou did not speak.
Meng Qiyun seemed to have sensed the meaning in their eyes, and immediately said with a hurt face:
"I just don't understand..."
I don’t understand, I don’t understand… The facial features of everyone in Lin Country were slightly distorted.
What is not clear about this??
One of them took a deep breath and asked with a pleasant expression, "What don't you understand?"
Meng Qiyun's face lit up with joy, and he asked cheerfully, "Who instigated the war between the two countries? Why did you cede land?"
Everyone in Lin Country took a deep breath, changed their wording, and explained it to him from beginning to end, almost word by word.
a long time.
They asked with stiff smiles, "What do you think, gentlemen?"
"But why are you ceding land?" Meng Qiyun said with a troubled look on his face. "How are you unable to fight again? There are still many people in Lin Country."
Everyone in Lin Country was so angry that their hearts were beating wildly.
Where did this fool come from!
Is this person mentally ill, or are their words really so confusing?!
Why can't these people understand?
Lin Guo's face flushed uncontrollably, his eyes blazing with anger, "What on earth are you..."
"Sorry, sorry." Meng Qiyun immediately apologized with a guilty look on his face.
He looked flustered and said with an apologetic tone:
"I'm sorry, I just really don't understand what you mean."
