As soon as the banquet ended, Qin Yanshu retreated in a hurry. Seeing her leave, Qin Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief. He finally realized that his seventh sister was a barrel of gunpowder that could explode at any time. The closer anyone got to her, the more unlucky they would be.
As soon as Qin Yanshu left, Qin Yanning no longer had the attitude of holding something in her hand. She put her hand in Tuoba Ling's, and the two of them walked slowly to Qin Chuan.
"After leaving Dazhang, Yan Ning thought he would never see his fifth brother again in this lifetime. Unexpectedly, fate gave Yan Ning the opportunity to see his old friend again."
Qin Yanning knew that his fifth brother was a kind and honest person. If he had lived in a prosperous era, he would have been a wise and conservatist ruler. But now, Dazhang was plagued by internal and external troubles. Even if the founding emperor were still alive, he might not be able to turn the tide, let alone Qin Chuan, the fifth prince who had never seen much bloodshed.
Unless someone is willing to help him.
It just so happened that she and Tuoba Ling had exactly this idea.
Although Qin Yanning was very enthusiastic, Qin Chuan was still a little nervous. He bowed to Qin Yanning and Tuoba Ling a little embarrassedly and said, "I didn't expect that my father would send me to the desert. I am happy to see that my sixth sister is happy in the desert and has a good relationship with the Khan."
Qin Chuan's words were sincere. Although he hadn't had much contact with his sixth sister, Qin Yanning, he knew that her life in the Dazhang Palace was not easy. His father's decision to marry her to the desert was simply a decision made after weighing the pros and cons.
For his father, sacrificing a daughter who had never been favored or offending the Khan of the Great Desert was a simple choice. He had never expected that Qin Yanning would actually turn his fate around on his own. Putting aside the stalemate between Dazhang and the Great Desert, he was indeed happy for Qin Yanning.
Qin Yanning smiled at Tuoba Ling, as if saying to him: See, I told you that my fifth brother is a rare good man among the princes and grandsons of the emperor of Dazhang.
Seeing Qin Yanning's fox-like smile, Tuoba Ling couldn't help but laugh. His otherwise stern face also showed a little smile. "Ningning is happy in the desert. The Fifth Prince is already so happy. If the people of Dazhang can be free from the suffering of war and corvee labor, I'm afraid the Fifth Prince will be even happier."
Tuoba Ling pretended to reveal his and Qin Yanning's thoughts unintentionally. Qin Chuan was not a fool. After a little thought, he understood the meaning of Tuoba Ling's words.
He and Qin Yanning wanted to take over Dazhang and make it a vassal state of the desert.
For Qin Chuan, this was not a bad result. After all, the people in many counties and prefectures of Dazhang had no food to eat. For him, the grievances of the people were far more important than protecting the dignity of the royal family of Dazhang.
But my father didn't think so. He was willing to offer his daughter to the Great Desert to seek peace, but he was not willing to leave a record in history books that Dazhang became a vassal state.
What's more, there are huge differences between vassal states. If Dazhang really becomes a vassal state of Damao, can Tuoba Ling really save the people of Dazhang from the suffering of war and corvee labor as he said?
In an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through Qin Chuan's mind, and he didn't know how to answer Tuoba Ling.
Qin Yanning saw Qin Chuan's dilemma and said, "Fifth brother, don't worry. You won't be back in a few days on this mission. Some things are not urgent."
Qin Chuan'an was in a state of confusion at the moment, but Qin Yanshu smiled triumphantly like a cat that had caught a mouse.
