PDLP Chapter 146 Xiao Zhizi, can you agree to my request?
Chapter 146 Xiao Zhizi, can you agree to my request?
Seeing her serious expression, Yun Ji held back the tears that were about to burst out and said seriously, "Xiao Zhizi, what's wrong?"
"When Yuchi Yi kidnapped Yun Yan earlier, I originally thought that he did it out of love," Nan Yingzhi gently stroked his black hair and changed the subject, "Now that I think about it carefully, it's not entirely true."
"Oh?" Yun Ji nodded, "Tell me about it."
"Yuchi Yi knows very well that if I reveal his identity publicly, he will be like a rat crossing the street in Dali, and everyone will shout and beat him.
"It's not easy to escape alone, and it's even more difficult with a delicate princess who has never been in contact with women.
"But after weighing the pros and cons, he still had to take the risk of being discovered and bringing Yun Yan, a burden, with him, which seemed unwise.
"He was afraid that if he returned, the two countries would officially engage in a large-scale war, and he would never see Yun Yan again. That was my previous thought.
"But just now, I thought of another possibility."
As if to show his support, Yun Ji blinked and said "Hmm?" curiously.
After getting a response, Nan Yingzhi continued speaking.
"It is well known that Yun Yan is favored by the Dali royal family. That is why so many people came to watch her martial arts competition to find a husband."
"The princess on the other side is holding a martial arts contest to seek a husband. For Yuchi Yi, who is worried about how to turn the tide, this is an idea that can be utilized.
“Who knows, will Yun Ting and I make concessions in the dispute between the two countries because Yun Yan is controlled by him?”
I never thought that Yuchi Yi would take Yun Yan away with such intentions. Yun Ji frowned and gritted his teeth: "He dares!"
"With interests at stake, how could he not dare?" Nan Yingzhi lowered her voice when talking about serious topics, "As the saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered.
"As for Yuchi Yi, his temperament is not violent, but he is definitely not weak and can be bullied.
"We really can't guarantee how high his moral standards are."
"Instead of fighting an upright battle, he used a woman to win," Yun Ji gritted his teeth, "This method is really despicable!"
"It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat," Shi Buguanji, Yun Ji and Nan Yingzhi were relatively calm, "Sometimes, being mean doesn't necessarily mean it's all bad.
"Just like what we are planning, it is not necessarily bright.
"But with you offering advice and me coming from the masses and going among the masses, and being sympathetic to the people, compared to the immature Yun Ting, we are in power and will be more beneficial to the people.
“Moreover, history books are written by the victors. Even if the historian insists on recording it as it is, he has to touch his neck in advance to see if it is strong enough to withstand the sharp blade.
"Or maybe, right and wrong, merits and demerits, are nothing more than a joke for future generations to talk about after dinner, so why should we take it too seriously?"
Feeling that what she said was true, Yun Ji put the matter of history books aside for the time being, nodded, and continued with her previous speculation that "Yuchi Yi might use Yun Ji."
"Xiao Zhizi, is it possible that he could hang Yun Yan at the city gate, starving her of food and water, and make our soldiers afraid to act, thus forcing us to negotiate peace?"
"He may not be so vicious," after thinking about it carefully, Nan Yingzhi felt that what Yun Ji said was possible, and added, "But as his opponent, we must not take it lightly before the situation becomes clear.
"Your guess is quite reasonable. People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. We must prepare for the worst."
"If he really threatens Yun Yan's life, what should we do?" Yun Ji murmured as if imagining this scene, "On one side are tens of thousands of soldiers, on the other side is..."
From his few words, Nan Yingzhi recalled that in the original novel, Yuchi Yi was called the God of War of Beishuo. He was invincible and unstoppable, as if he had a cheat. She exclaimed softly.
"Oh no, Nan Yi is in danger!"
Hearing her say that ever since Yuchi Yi went to war for his father, the battle situation began to tilt towards Beishuo, Yun Ji's brows knitted tightly, "Is he really that powerful?"
"As expected, it should be so. Moreover, our Dali soldiers, under the leadership of Nan Yi, have never suffered a defeat. When they encounter Yuchi Yi, they will underestimate the enemy.
"Hiss, Yuchi Yi's army is attacking, and our army is still indulging in the joy of winning streak. This situation is really a bit bad."
Feeling that Nan Yingzhi was right to worry, Yun Ji also started to think about it.
After a moment, he raised his head and said, "Xiao Zhizi, if the situation is as urgent as you said, I can go to the front line to assist Nan Yi."
"You want to go?" Nan Yingzhi was shocked to experience the fear of her relatives joining the war for the first time, and she immediately tried to persuade them, "The front line is so dangerous, you..."
"I have been to the battlefield in my previous life, and I know the dangers of the front line." Yun Ji tried to reassure her and persuaded her with the actual situation, "The main thing is that the country currently has no talented generals. If I don't go, Nan Yi will be isolated and helpless.
"Xiao Zhizi, Nan Yi is old after all. He can still handle fighting against Yuchi Feng, who is the same age and not very good at training soldiers.
“But facing the young, vigorous and invincible Yuchi Yi, his chances of winning are slim.
"To deal with someone like Yuchi Yi, only I can do it."
Meeting Yun Ji's resolute eyes, Nan Yingzhi finally remembered that before entering the body of "Nan Yingzhi", Yun Ji was both civil and military.
On the battlefield, he was a young man full of vigor and vitality, just like Yuchi Yi.
"Let's put aside the question of whether you will come forward or not. Right now, the frontline lacks not only good generals but also soldiers.
"And in the capital, the only ones who can be mobilized are the Young Master's Imperial Guards, the ministers' palace soldiers, and Jin'an's elite secret guards."
Nan Yingzhi found that she was not in power and could not command the army to go to support. She held his hand tightly and said, "Qingchuan'er, in order to order these people to the front line, we can't delay the rebellion any longer.
"I want Song Cheng to advance the hunting time."
Hearing her decision, Yun Ji was secretly happy.
The sooner Yun Ting is taken down, the longer time he can spend with Nan Yingzhi. Why not do it?
Thinking of the old royal system, Yun Ji hesitated and said, "But hunting has always been a fixed day, how can it be changed?"
"It's not difficult to change the date," Nan Yingzhi smiled, "For hunting, we need to choose an auspicious day, and isn't the most skilled divination master ours?
"If he says it, it's very convincing. He said it himself, and I'll send some people to add fuel to the fire. Isn't it a done deal?"
After listening to her well-reasoned speech, Yun Ji nodded blankly: "Little Gardenia, you are very smart."
"Well, there's no need to praise me like that," Nan Yingzhi waved her hand, her face as thick as a city wall remained motionless without showing any blush, "I'd be embarrassed."
Stretching out his finger and poking her face, Yun Ji told the truth: "You clearly didn't even blush."
"It's just to lighten the atmosphere. Let's get back to the topic we were talking about."
Talking about hunting, Nan Yingzhi said with emotion: "Hunting is a waste of money and labor, it is just for show and it does not help the people's livelihood at all.
"If it weren't for the fact that the Imperial Guards couldn't protect Yun Ting during the hunt, making it easier for us to change the dynasty, I would even want to cancel the hunt."
"Well, Xiao Zhizi," Yun Ji's eyes moved around as if to confirm the date of leaving Yun Ting's harem, "How early do you plan to go for the hunt?"
Nan Yingzhi stroked his chin with her fingertips and said, "It depends on the situation. When Song City has arranged the hunting, I will ask the Imperial Master to set the nearest date.
“Songcheng has been arranging hunting-related matters for decades and has rich experience.
“He originally told me that it would take 20 days to make the relevant preparations.
“But time waits for no one. Who knows what changes will happen at the border in just twenty days?
"I asked him to copy the memorial before, and he was the last to submit it. This time, I have to ask him to speed up.
"In short, at the slowest, I won't let the days go past sixteen."
Hearing that hunting is possible before the 16th, Yun Ji was pleasantly surprised: "Does that mean I don't have to wait until the end of the month?"
"Yes, it was Mr. Yu who just mentioned the early hunting date."
Taking a deep breath, Nan Yingzhi added affectionately, "Personally, I can't bear to let you stay in the palace alone, waiting for me to come every day."
Her words, like the warm sun in winter, slowly melted the clouds.
Immersed in Nan Yingzhi's gaze, the happiness lasted only a few seconds, and he suddenly thought of the problem that had been bothering him before.
"Xiao Zhizi," Yun Ji tried to get her consent before he had the courage to speak out. He pursed his lips tightly and looked serious. "Can you agree to my request?"
