Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight
Chapter 146 The Princess of a Lost Country is Everyone’s White Moonlight (31)
Wang Lin took the prescription downstairs to prepare it. After the group had finished their meal, Jiang Chenying made an excuse to ask Zhou Mingxuan to take him out for a walk, and the two left together.
Yuebai began to inquire in detail about what happened to Zhou Qinghe after he left the academy.
"It's just that my father is partial to me. I'm walking on thin ice." Zhou Qinghe's brows were stained with sorrow. "Why did Senior Sister leave the academy for me? Did you read the letter I left for you?"
"What letter?" Yuebai asked.
"Before I left the academy, I also gave my nephew a letter and asked him to give it to my sister on my behalf." Zhou Qinghe asked with a little trepidation in his heart.
"Maybe Chen Ying forgot because he was too playful. Is there something important?"
Zhou Qinghe was stunned for a moment and then returned to normal: "It's not a big deal."
It’s better if the senior sister doesn’t know. Now that he is in a life-and-death situation, how can he drag the senior sister into it? Sometimes some feelings don’t need to have a result, and some feelings don’t need to have an answer.
"I noticed that after Senior Sister saw the plum tree, her brows seemed to be gloomy?" Zhou Qinghe changed the subject.
Yuebai looked at the dead plum tree outside the window and said slowly, "This was where my parents originally lived. When I was a child, my mother and I often waited for my father to return under the plum tree in the garden."
At that time, the king and queen of the State of Jing had not returned to their country yet and were held hostage in the capital of Liang. They walked in the court as a minister of Liang because they had been kicked out of the status of heir. So the king of the State of Jing at that time really intended to make a difference in the court of Liang, so he was trusted by the King of Liang.
When the state of Jing was in turmoil, King Liang killed all the sons of the old monarch, hoping to make the monarch a puppet. However, the monarch turned against him after he had firmly established himself on the throne. In troubled times, everyone wants to be king.
After Liang State finally conquered Jing State, its revenge was extremely severe, even killing all the royal men.
The plum tree in the yard was burned to death by the fire set by Queen Jin herself. At that time, King Liang knew that King Jin had betrayed him, so he sent people to capture her and Yuebai. Queen Jin set the fire and burned the place down.
He escaped with Yuebai, and the fire started from here. At that time, Queen Jing was almost determined to die. She handed Zhou Qinghe to her and told her to go to Taoli Academy.
So many years have passed, and by some strange coincidence this place was assigned to Zhou Qinghe as a royal palace.
"Senior Sister, Senior Sister?" Zhou Qinghe looked at Yue Bai in a daze and called her twice.
Yuebai came back to his senses, looked at Zhou Qinghe's concerned gaze, and shook his head slightly: "No problem, I just thought of some old things."
Zhou Qinghe noticed that she was unwilling to talk more, so he did not delve into it. Zhou Qinghe was naturally aware of Yuebai's life experience, so he kept his feelings in his heart and could not express them out loud.
What separates them is national hatred and family feuds. Now it's good enough that the two of them can get along normally like doors.
I can’t, and I dare not, ask for too much.
"Junior brother, if you retire early, you may be able to live a peaceful life." Yuebai asked again.
Zhou Qinghe shook his head and said helplessly: "If I don't fight for my position, someone will force me to fight for it."
Yuebai fell silent. She had not expected that King Liang would be able to unify the country. Now she was in a dilemma.
"They have been out for a while. Senior sister, do you know what they went to do?" Zhou Qinghe didn't want to continue discussing this topic and asked Zhou Mingxuan and Jiang Chenying.
"They are just strolling around. This is Chen Ying's first time out, so maybe he is a little late." Yue Bai explained, "Let them go."
On the other side, Zhou Mingxuan and Jiang Chenying had already arrived outside the city where the iron mine was located. Outside, there were disciples from the academy, but inside, Shadow was training the remaining elite soldiers of the Qing Kingdom.
"There are 20,000 elite soldiers in there. It is impossible to move them out at once, but we can recall the disciples of the academy first." Zhou Mingxuan suggested.
Jiang Chenying didn't think so, and retorted: "But if there is no cover outside, they will be discovered faster. Those are the only remaining troops of the Jiang Kingdom. Withdraw first."
"No, the retreat will make too much noise. If the academy disciples don't leave, they will definitely be left behind, and then King Liang's anger will be vented on them." Zhou Mingxuan was unwilling to sacrifice his fellow disciples and tried to persuade Jiang Chenying.
"Then we have to sacrifice the pawn to save the master. It is inevitable that the academy will make some sacrifices for the sake of the great cause. You are not naive enough to think that what we do will not cause casualties, right?"
Jiang Chenying's somewhat sarcastic tone revealed the fact that Zhou Mingxuan had been unwilling to face. That's right, what they are doing now will involve sacrifices, and more people will die in the future.
Perhaps it was because of the time he spent as a junior apprentice in Xia Men that he thought he was simply doing something chivalrous and righteous, but the people he saved were all from the state of Jiang, and the people he robbed were all officials from the state of Liang.
"Why, Uncle Master, you're not so naive, are you?"
Jiang Chenying's words rang in his ears again.
"You've changed, Chen Ying." Zhou Mingxuan was a little confused about the little nephew in front of him.
Jiang Chenying looked down at the training ground in front of him gloomily and said slowly: "Uncle Master, maybe you never know what I look like?"
"Maybe?" Zhou Mingxuan answered in a daze. Everything seemed to change when he knew his life experience. "Let's retreat slowly. Withdraw some disciples and troops first."
Jiang Chenying curled the corners of his lips sarcastically: "Then if something happens to Master..."
"I'll take care of it all." Zhou Mingxuan knew what he was worried about, "I won't let my sister think you're useless."
"Then please do as you please, Uncle Master." After saying that, Jiang Chenying and Zhou Mingxuan seemed to have reached an agreement, and they drove their horses back to Prince Yu's Mansion.
After everyone had dinner together, they returned to their respective residences.
"Sister, do you want to meet some people from the country of Jiang?" Zhou Mingxuan thought that maybe Yuebai would know those people.
Later, the women he rescued also joined the Xiamen with the help of her cards.
"Where are they?" Yuebai was indeed very interested.
"If sister wants to see me tomorrow, I will bring them here." Zhou Mingxuan sensed Yuebai's anticipation and replied.
"Okay, it's getting late, you can go to the guest room and rest."
This large courtyard does have many rooms, so it would be normal for Zhou Mingxuan to stay overnight, but he refused.
"My sister will meet them tomorrow. I have to tell them a few things when I return to Xiamen tonight. Some of them want to restore their country, and I'm afraid they will place unwarranted hopes on my sister." He needed to go back and ensure that those who couldn't see the situation clearly were dealt with to ensure his sister's safety.
Jiang Chenying and Zhou Mingxuan exchanged glances, and Jiang Chenying said to Yuebai, "Let Master Uncle go. It's just right that I'll tell Master about the situation when Master Uncle and I went to the iron mine today."
Yuebai nodded without comment, indicating his agreement, and Zhou Mingxuan left the yard.
Jiang Chenying and Yuebai briefly explained what happened today. Yuebai sighed, "He is still too indecisive. You should keep an eye on him. Just do what he wants this time."
