"It's almost dawn!"
Zhao Ning looked outside at the sky and said, "Let me take you back. If you are discovered by the people of Chu, you may be in trouble."
"Too!"
Ying Wuji nodded, bowed deeply three times to Zhao Ji, and then went out with her.
But before leaving, he took a drop of blood from his heart.
Zhao Ning looked dazed for a moment. Although he didn't say much, there seemed to be some hope in his eyes.
It's not daybreak yet.
But dawn is not far away.
When going out.
Zhao Ning glanced at Ying Wuji with a look of reluctance.
Ying Wuji smiled and hugged him tightly in his arms.
Hug each other for a long time.
Zhao Ning suddenly smiled and said, "I have something to tell you. I was afraid you might feel stressed in there just now."
Ying Wuji asked: "What?"
Zhao Ning pursed his lips and said, "Given your current situation in Chu, marriage is the best option. I have discussed this matter with Cai Mei, and we both agree that you and Mi Xingli should have a marriage, but... the first time the King of Chu brought you to a public appearance, he called you his adopted son. Wuji, I don't recommend that you get emotional about this matter."
"Nothing sentimental about it."
Ying Wuji smiled and said, "I am going on this journey to make achievements. If I, a pseudo-saint, still need to marry to protect myself, then why am I doing nothing? Why don't I just be the Grand Marshal of the Kingdom of Li?"
"But……"
"No buts! My home is right here. Whenever Li needs me, I will come back. I don't want to deceive other people's feelings.
You don't have to worry about me. The Chu royal family will be close to me for a long time, and I will come up with a mutually beneficial and win-win plan.
Even if we really part ways in the future, I am confident that we can do so in peace.
Strategies are something you use when you are not strong enough.
The true kingly way is like the Li Kingdom today.
My father once told me to firmly follow my own path to becoming a saint, so how could I give up my principles just for the sake of temporary gains and losses?
When I unify the Central Plains one day, I will be able to walk to my father's tomb with my back straight and tell him the whole story."
"Um!"
Zhao Ning smiled and didn't force him.
She gently patted Ying Wuji's shoulder and said, "Go check on Caimei and the child before daybreak!"
"Um!"
Ying Wuji nodded, then cut a crack and stepped in with Zhao Ning.
In the room.
Tangtang was sleeping soundly with her child in her arms.
Ying Wuji was reluctant to make a sound, so he just sat side by side with Zhao Ning on the bed, carefully looking at the two of them for a long time.
When some light could be seen outside the window, he lifted Zhao Ning's chin and kissed him gently, looked back reluctantly, then cut through the space and left.
…
The next day.
Most of the soldiers in Yucheng slept until the afternoon.
When I woke up, although I was injured, I felt refreshed and energetic.
Looking at the clear sky and thinking about the doomsday-like scene last night, it feels like a lifetime ago.
Wait until everyone has rested enough.
The State of Chu arranged a lavish celebration banquet, where soldiers from various countries gathered together and toasted to each other without any barriers, regardless of the level of friendship between their countries.
When slightly tipsy.
Senior officials from various countries also held their final meeting.
There were two important contents in the meeting. One was that no country was allowed to send troops to the State of Chu within half a year, and whoever sent troops would be an accomplice of the demon clan.
The second thing was to distribute the demon blood crystals. Although there was a lot of debate, everyone still had a good idea of who had made the greatest contribution. It was basically in line with yesterday's performance. As the first contributor, Ying Wuji got 30% of the credit.
It is estimated that tens of thousands of elite war horses can be produced.
After the celebration banquet.
Everyone went back to their homes.
If what I expected is correct, they will set off one after another tomorrow and leave Yucheng to return to their own country.
"call……"
Ying Wuji curled his lips: "Half a year... it's really urgent!"
"Brother Ying!"
Mi Xingli had obviously drunk too much and was a little unsteady when she walked, but she was still conscious and other than a blurry look in her eyes, she didn't show any other abnormal behavior.
Ying Wuji turned his head: "What's wrong?"
Mi Xingli pointed in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion: "Father wants to see you!"
Ying Wuji nodded and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit.
When the two arrived, Mi Duo was scratching his head frantically while looking at the memorial on the desk, looking quite worried.
See Ying Wuji coming.
Mi Duo quickly stood up and greeted him with a big laugh: "Wuji has a good alcohol tolerance. He drank so much just now without blushing or breathing hard."
Ying Wuji smiled and blew back the rainbow fart: "Godfather is a man of great generosity. I saw him just now, he drank at least three jars of wine, and he didn't have any problem at all."
The two people praised each other's business.
The atmosphere is quite harmonious.
At this time, Ying Wuji asked, "What is it that you want me to do, foster father?"
Mi Duo did not answer immediately, but smiled and pulled Ying Wuji to the opposite side of the desk: "Wuji! My adoptive father promised you a lot of things before, do you still remember?"
"Of course I remember!"
Ying Wuji answered with a smile, but he was worried in his heart.
Mi Duo laughed and said, "I'm not kidding. You don't have to worry about me going back on my word. I will keep everything I promised you. Just now, Qu Jingzhao and his three families came to me and presented me with all kinds of pros and cons, but I rejected them all.
When you return this time, I will immediately appoint you as general, and you will not lose any of the mansions and lands that you deserve.
