Chapter 79: Forced into a Desperate Situation



"These... these... and this have all been suggested many times for my brother to establish himself as king."

"My brother dominates an entire state, and his strength is comparable to that of Xia, Lu, and Yuchi. He is also a descendant of the royal family, so he naturally has the power to be king."

"Also... according to reliable sources, Ding Yijun has declared himself the King of Sichuan."

Ding Yunyi was even more shocked. He never thought that it would be just as Xiahou Jing said that day. After Lu Ganhai became emperor, the land of China would become more and more chaotic, and everyone would want to become king or emperor.

"Of course, I wouldn't do something that would endanger the country... But what about Qi Cong? Yun Yi, he's a coward, and his uncle Mao Dehui will definitely nominate him as king."

"..." Ding Yunyi remained silent and continued to listen to Ding Nanjing's words.

Ding Qichong was Ding Nanjing's eldest son. Once he died, it would be natural for him to succeed him.

"Of course, there are still risks for Qi Cong to take the position of Xiangzhou Governor, and that risk is you—the Right General personally appointed by Emperor Chihui!"

Ding Yunyi was shocked, but then he thought calmly and understood what Ding Nanjing meant.

There are royalists in Xiangzhou. Once Mao Dehui pushes Ding Qicong to the throne, the royalists may abandon Ding Qicong and turn to Ding Yunyi, the closest royalist!

"Yun Yi, you and I are both loyal to Da Chi. I think you have a lot of my own qualities, and you will definitely be able to help the country in the future."

"Ding Yijun and Qi Cong are both incompetent, and the three emperors have become puppets. The spark for the revival of the Red Dynasty probably lies in you..."

"Therefore, I don't want to see you harmed by Mao Dehui and others. I hope you take care of yourself."

Ding Yunyi nodded, then knelt down and saluted: "Brother, thank you for the reminder! Then I will leave Xiangzhou today."

Faced with Ding Yunyi's answer, Ding Nanjing waved his hand: "Yunyi, if you leave with such fanfare, I'm afraid it will only give Mao Dehui and his men an opportunity."

"I have a suggestion for you. That is to pretend to visit Chengtian Academy."

"Chengtian Academy also supports Emperor Chihui and will naturally lend you a helping hand."

"Besides, that place is located in Guangyang, which is the territory of my trusted confidant, General Wen. He obeys my orders and can safely escort you to Yuwan City."

After hearing this, Ding Yunyi agreed with Ding Nanjing's suggestion and discussed the details.

After discussing for a while, Ding Yunyi stood up to say goodbye and was about to leave, but Ding Nanjing stopped him again: "Don't worry, my dear brother... You have many brave generals under your command, but unfortunately you lack a wise counselor. On your way to Chengtian Academy, you can try to find talented people along the way. I don't mind."

"Brother..." Ding Yunyi has been wandering for half his life. Since he became an adult, he has not felt much love from his family, especially from the Ding family.

Although Ding Nanjing is not his biological brother, Ding Yunyi feels that they are better than brothers. He did not expect that the other party would be so nice to him, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Hey... why are you crying, my dear brother?" Ding Nanjing picked up the handkerchief and wiped Ding Yunyi's face.

"Alright...it's getting late, Yunyi, you should go and rest...If you stay here for too long, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion from others, so you'd better leave quickly."

Ding Yunyi wiped his tears with his sleeve, then bowed solemnly: "Yes! I, your cousin Ding Yunyi, am leaving! I hope you take care of yourself, brother."

After Ding Yunyi left, Ding Nanjing was the only one left in the huge hall. He sat alone on the gorgeous chair, looking so lonely.

He sighed, not knowing whether his action was right or wrong.

He had selfish motives and wanted to kill Ding Yunyi on the spot to remove the obstacles for his beloved son to succeed to the throne.

But the cousin in front of him was so similar to his younger self, and was dedicated to serving his country. How could he bring himself to do that?

In the end, Ding Nanjing chose to put aside his selfishness.

"Someone come!"

"Call General Wen! I have something important to discuss with him."

The so-called important matter refers to Ding Yunyi's visit to Chengtian Academy.

This journey is dangerous, and he must let Wen Juye protect Ding Yunyi's safety and preserve the hope of the revival of the Chi Dynasty.

He looked at the map carefully, his gaze moving from Xiangjiang County to Guangyang County, and finally to Ruihe Town, which was closest to Chengtian Academy.

Lin Tongxi finally woke up and found that there was an extra section on his system interface, which was the map.

Location: Xiangzhou, Xiangjiang County, Guangyang County, Ruihe Town

The information on the map is very detailed. If you focus on a certain place, related information will pop up on the interface.

For example, the Fulai Inn that Lin Tongxi often visits will indicate that it is owned by the Zhen family and the owner is Bai Yunshan, etc.

Moreover, Lin Tongxi also noticed that this section was like the unlocking level of the map in the game.

The areas we know are clear, but the areas we don’t know are shrouded in fog of war.

Just when Lin Tongxi wanted to continue exploring this ability, Su Ruoxue came in.

After confirming that the other party was fine, Su Ruoxue felt relieved and continued to talk about the child's condition: "He has woken up and said he has something important to tell us."

"Okay, let's go see him." Lin Tongxi stood up and walked towards the child's room.
