"Start a war?" Yu Wensheng didn't look upset because of Zheng Quchi's arrogant words. Instead, he had a sense of obeying her and thinking: "How do you want to start a war?"
As soon as Zheng Quchi mentioned this, he turned around and sat uprightly: "In the past, Ye country suffered the bullying and oppression of other countries, but this time our Ye country took the initiative to initiate a war. You didn't write to me often to talk about border affairs. My uncle has also analyzed with me that barbarian tribes often harass the border, and officers and soldiers station and exterminate them, just like water control. If the dikes are not guarded, they will collapse sooner or later."
"Yeah, that's very good." He stared at her with a smile.
Zheng Quchi was immersed in his own thoughts: "I think that instead of defending, it is better to take the initiative. The barbarians are bullying our weak Ye country, just like the other six countries, so I thought of seizing this opportunity to give the Jiuzhou countries A stern warning! Those who invade our country will not be tolerated. Even if they fight to the death, they will still show the power of our country."
She spoke very excitedly and vigorously, as if these words had been brewing in her heart for a long time, and she spoke them out quickly today. In the past, she pitied her craftsmen for being discriminated against everywhere, but after seeing a wider place, she lamented the decline of her country and pitied her. Its people are trapped in misery and unable to save themselves...
She is not great. It can be said that Yu Wensheng pushed her step by step to her current status and situation.
During these times, she often thought about the past, the past that he had never disclosed and explained.
She would wonder, since when did he start planning to want her for the rest of his life?
He wanted her to accompany him, but she was not willing, so he used a country to "kidnap" her. In order for her to face this devastated Ye country with him, what did he do in private? ?
Maybe he gave her a choice at the beginning, choosing to be a nobody and an ordinary person with freedom and her own little world. Unfortunately, fate did not give her a choice. No matter how she went, she would be pushed in front of him. Then it fell into his "palm".
She struggled. "Harmony and separation" was an idea she once held on to. She thought that without him, she would be able to grow wings and fly thousands of miles into the sky, but he told her the truth - she couldn't.
He told her to lose him in an absolutely profound and ruthless way, and at the same time, he showed the bloody and cruel world before her eyes.
When she was helpless, he gave the "spear" and "shield" to her by leaving, so that while she lost his protection, she also had weapons and shields of her own.
At this time, she finally changed from being guarded to being a guardian.
What she once felt like walking on thin ice has become solid and determined. She has strength, confidence, and herself... Yes, at this time, she is truly herself.
Why does she have a completely different mentality when facing Yu Wensheng and Yuan Xingzhou?
Obviously they were both powerful people that she once needed to look up to, but the former made her submissive and tried her best to escape, while the latter was able to talk and laugh and treat them as equals. In fact, people have not changed, and they are not good people. She has only changed.
She is no longer like a fallen leaf blown away by the wind, nor is she a duckweed floating in the water without a root system. She has settled on this land bit by bit, establishing an inseparable connection with the people around her. At this point, she finally realized the value and meaning of her existence.
Therefore, even when she found out that Yuan Xingzhou was Yu Wensheng in disguise, her first reaction was just confusion and confusion, rather than resentment after being deceived or anger at being fooled. Of course, when she realized it afterwards, she was still angry when she deserved it. But precisely because of her growth, strength and gains during this period, she developed an emotionally stable and strong heart.
Only those who have a lot can look at sharp injustices with a tolerant heart. In the past, her life was a piece of cake, and she was always in crisis. She would definitely only use sharp thorns to confront the tough.
She calmly thought about whether she deserved everything she had experienced, whether her journey along the way was good, bad, worthy or unjust... Finally, when she saw a complete and peaceful self, she knew, She had not gone through this journey in vain.
After so many years, he has refused to go back. Instead, he seems to be stationed in the borderland, regardless of life and death.
He went to war, was scarred, and lived a life of bitter cold and exile as if he was punishing himself.
She has also been focused on her career, tirelessly, day and night.
There was a long distance between them, and their time was never occupied by each other. They only exchanged letters occasionally, but there was an inexplicable tacit understanding in their relationship.
He was waiting for her, she knew it.
She has been unwilling to give in to his waiting and refuse to compromise.
But once the initial anger was used up by time, she began to care about the passage of time. When she heard that he almost died in the battle, she understood...she wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.
"You really want me to die in battle and become a widow?" he teased.
Zheng Quchi rolled his eyes at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? My husband has died long ago and I am a widow."
Seeing the unreasonable sullenness on her eyebrows, Yu Wensheng stopped joking about this matter: "Are you serious?"
Of course I mean it.
She wanted to pick him up and go home with the soldiers who had been fighting hard at the border for many years, so she took this battle extremely seriously.
"Yes, we all understand the principle of killing chickens to scare monkeys. We must use strong iron fists to break other people's inherent impressions of Ye country. It is like touching a chicken egg against a stone. Everyone will think that the egg will break, but we must If you touch a chicken egg against a stone, it will break into pieces!"
Yu Wensheng looked directly into her eyes and said slowly, "It seems that you are well prepared."
"Well, I came here just to ask you if you dare to give me a try." She asked.
Yu Wensheng also answered readily: "You and I have both prospered and suffered losses, so why don't you dare?"
"What if we lose? Aren't you worried that the country you finally grabbed will be lost like this?" Zheng Quchi asked him intentionally.
Yu Wensheng's eyes were so sharp and sharp. Even though he deliberately hid his frightening insight in front of Zheng Quchi, when he narrowed his eyes slightly, there was still a strong energy flowing out.
"You forgot that I said that my purpose is only revenge. I don't care what will happen to this country. Just because you want it to exist, that is the reason why I want it to continue to exist."
He spoke very straightforwardly, and Zheng Quchi understood it clearly.
Now that things have come to this, it might as well be a thorough explanation of what happened in the past.
"Okay, we have already settled the business. Now it's up to you to fulfill your original promise. You said that as long as you come back alive, you will tell me everything. Now you are not only alive, but I have come here by myself, so are you Should you give me a reasonable explanation?"
Yu Wensheng sat back on the cushion: "What do you want to know?"
"Was your death planned?" Zheng Quchi didn't even think about asking.
"Yes." He nodded.
Even though Zheng Quchi thought that he would be able to talk to him calmly after being mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but get angry.
"From the time you took me away at Huxiao Pass, to the last moment when you let Gong lose, you deliberately mobilized all the troops to escort Wang Zebang and others home with secret information, attracting people from all walks of life to pursue them, and then... It would be more convincing to die in a hunt by the Giant Deer Army and a loser, just to make your death a matter of course, right?"
He said softly: "Yeah."
Looking at his hateful masked face, Zheng Quchi was puzzled: "Who did you die to plot against?"
This time, Yu Wensheng, who was like a dead fish, had a different expression. He opened his thin lips and uttered one word: "You."
Zheng Quchi was stunned.
She never expected to wait for such an answer.
"Isn't it because Jin Chan escaped from his shell and returned to the palace to seize the throne?" She had always speculated in this direction.
However, Yu Wen Sheng smiled and said, "Do you think that King Ye's pig-like brain and Queen Ye's despicable tricks require me to go to such great lengths to fake death?"
Zheng Quchi's supposed serious mind suddenly shut down and he subconsciously blurted out: "No.
Yes, I think I'm not as good as the two of them. Why do you go to so much trouble to plot against me? "
Although these words demeaned herself, it was the truth. The crude tricks that Yu Wensheng looked down upon were considered high-end tricks here by Zheng Quchi. If it were her, she would have been played to death hundreds of times every minute.
"The calculation may not be accurate. I probably want to see what you will do if I die."
"What do you mean?"
"A couple, one dies and the other lives, some choose to die for their love, some choose to leave everything behind and find another marriage, some choose to live alone, and some even choose crazy revenge. I am very curious, what will you do."
"I will not die in love, nor will I marry another person, nor will I take revenge madly. I will only live well and shine for my career for the rest of my life." In her situation, neither of them is true, nor can she commit any crime. .
Yu Wensheng should have been satisfied with this answer, but he was not satisfied with her indifferent attitude.
"Actually, I have always been by your side, and I have seen everything you have done... To be honest, I had no intention of being entangled with anyone for the rest of my life. At first, I planned to let you go after ruining everything. , come and go as you wish.”
He took off his mask in front of her, revealing Yu Wensheng's beautiful porcelain face, crimson lips, and deep black eyes. He approached her——
"Maybe I overestimated myself, and I was simply deceiving myself. From the moment I chose to join the Jichun Craftsmen's Guild, I started everything for my own selfish reasons..."
Yu Wensheng pinched her chin, and Feng Qingyun's eyes were finally torn open, revealing the wolfish ambition and greed underneath.
"I don't want you to see through me, because I know that once you know what kind of person I am, you will definitely feel disgusted and disgusted, and you will run away, so I would rather give up everything that belongs to Yu Wensheng. I can Become the crown prince of Ye Kingdom, Yuan Xingzhou forever..."
