Quick Wear: Saving Three Thousand Matches

Twenty years ago, the situation in the court of Donghua Kingdom was changing rapidly.

At that time, the Kingdom of Donghua sent its Prime Minister Yun Jingxian to North Vietnam to enhance friendly relations between the two countries.

However, unexpectedly, this highly-anticipated envoy was robbed by a group of rampant bandits on his way back to the court after completing his mission!

Since then, Yun Jingxian has disappeared from the face of the earth and his whereabouts are unknown.

This sudden change shocked the government and the people of Donghua Kingdom, and the royal family and the Yun family were even more anxious.

Over the years, they have never given up looking for Yun Jingxian's whereabouts and have secretly carried out in-depth and detailed investigations.

As time went by, some clues gradually surfaced, and all the clues pointed to North Vietnam.

It is rumored that the Emperor of North Vietnam was lustful and liked to play with handsome people, especially young and beautiful boys.

To this end, he neglected the affairs of state and allowed corrupt officials to take power and control the government.

Therefore, many people speculated that Yun Jingxian must have been intercepted and taken back to North Vietnam by the North Vietnamese emperor, imprisoned, and used for his daily entertainment.

Speaking of Yun Jingxian, he is an outstanding figure in Donghua Kingdom.

He is not only talented and intelligent, but also has a handsome face, elegant and cold temperament, and his every move shows his grace and elegance.

This style is quite similar to Yun Chenyu.

After all, a son resembles his father, so he must be very similar.

However, compared to the ruthlessness that Yun Chenyu exudes in his bones, Yun Jingxian gives people the feeling of being more gentle and kind, like a polite nobleman, which makes people feel good about him.

Looking back to the past, Yun Jingxian was undoubtedly the ideal husband that all the noble women in Donghua Kingdom dreamed of.

How many ladies from noble families fell in love with him at first sight and only hoped to marry him.

But in the end, he married not the noble ladies who admired him, but Yunmu.

When Yunmu was young, she already had a childhood sweetheart.

The two of them were in love and decided to spend their lives together. They even became husband and wife without a formal matchmaker, and Yunmu became pregnant.

However, her childhood sweetheart's family was poor and his parents did not want her to get married, so she planned a scene with her childhood sweetheart to catch them in bed together.

In the end, she got her wish and married into the Yun family, becoming Mrs. Yun in full legal standing.

It is also because of this that Yun Chenfeng is not actually Yun Jingxian’s biological son. The only one who truly inherited Yun Jingxian’s bloodline is Yun Chenyu.

Since childhood, Yun Chenfeng has been well aware of the mystery of his life experience and understood that his position in the Yun Mansion is quite embarrassing.

Therefore, when faced with conflicts of interest with Yun Chenyu over marriage and official positions, he wisely chose to take another path - to enter the business world and travel around.

In this way, he could avoid direct conflicts with Yun Chenyu and at the same time, he could carve out a world of his own through his own efforts.

He felt guilty towards Yun Chenyu, so he simply stayed away from home for business all year round, also to avoid Jun Muxue who loved him.

Inside the tent, the flickering candlelight illuminated Jin Jiusi's beautiful face.

She was seen sitting at the table, holding a piece of snow-white silk cloth in her hand, gently wiping the Broken Moon Scythe she had taken out of the Ring of Time and Space.

The blade of the sickle flashed with cold light, as if it contained endless power.

At this time, a soldier walked in cautiously carrying a cup of steaming hot fragrant tea.

This soldier was Yun Chenyu, who had just returned from the North Vietnamese Royal Palace.

He walked lightly, fearing that any noise would disturb Jin Jiusi who was concentrating on wiping his sword.

Walking to the table, Yun Chenyu first bowed slightly, then gently placed the teacup on the table and filled it with hot tea.

After doing all this, he respectfully stepped aside and waited quietly for Jin Jiusi's instructions.

Time passed minute by minute, and the tent was silent except for the faint sound of Jin Jiusi wiping his sword.

Yun Chenyu's gaze also fell on Po Yue, and he was very surprised. He had never seen such a strange weapon.

After an unknown amount of time, Kong Kong finally couldn't contain himself and said, "Master, the person next to you... is..."

However, its words seemed a little hesitant, as if it didn't know how to describe the soldier.

Hearing the empty sound, Jin Jiusi paused for a moment in wiping the sword, but soon continued wiping it.

Her beautiful eyes glanced to the side and she said lightly, "You go down first."

Although his tone was calm, it carried an unquestionable majesty.

Upon hearing this, Yun Chenyu nodded quickly and replied in a low voice: "Yes!"

Then he raised his foot and slowly walked out of Jin Jiusi's tent.

When his figure disappeared at the door, Jin Jiusi looked in the direction he left and asked thoughtfully, "Why is he here?"

Kong Kong quickly replied, "Master, he is worried about your safety."

"The safety of this palace?"

Jin Jiusi couldn't help but laugh, "Are you sure it's not me who's worried about his safety?"

After saying that, she shook her head helplessly, with a faint smile on her lips.

You know, she had clearly told Yun Chenyu not to appear in front of her within three months.

But who could have thought that this person would be so disobedient and still come here regardless of everything.

In that case, I will just pretend that I know nothing about this matter and let him be a soldier in peace.

Jin Jiusi gently put Po Yue aside, then stretched out his slender and white hands and elegantly picked up the cup of tea that Yun Chenyu had just filled.

She first carefully approached the cup, sniffing the faint tea fragrance, then slightly opened her cherry-like lips and took a small sip.

At this moment, Jin Jiusi's eyes, which were originally as calm as water, suddenly lit up.

Then, she raised her long, curved eyebrows, raised the corners of her mouth in a smile, and said coquettishly, "You brought in contraband."

You have to know that this place is located in the border area, the environment is extremely harsh, the climate is bitterly cold, and even the daily food supply is a problem. Finding some delicious food is almost harder than climbing to the sky.

What’s more, tea with such high quality and fragrant aroma is not the best?

Presumably, this must have been brought specially from the Imperial City by Yun Chenyu.

In the magnificent palace of Donghua Imperial City, sunlight shines through the gaps between the lush branches and leaves and falls into the imperial garden, like pieces of golden scales sparkling with light.

At this time, the emperor and the empress were sitting leisurely in the pavilion playing chess.

Black and white pieces are crisscrossed on the chessboard. The situation seems calm, but in fact there are undercurrents.

At this quiet and peaceful moment, An Xi came over with small steps.

He came close to Feng Qiansu, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the time has come."

Hearing this, Feng Qiansu and Qi Lingyue raised their heads at the same time, their eyes met, and a barely perceptible gleam flashed in their eyes.

Then, they slowly put down the chess pieces in their hands.

"Anxi, convey my decree to Kangning Palace. Duke Laihuang is a man of great righteousness. He has personally gone to the northern battlefield to resist the foreign enemies. This is truly a blessing for Donghua. I have heard that the Queen Mother is worried about her beloved daughter and is unable to rest. Therefore, I have ordered the Queen Mother to go to Jingguang Temple to pray for the princess and recite scriptures, asking the heavens to protect her and return safely."

His tone was firm, steady and unquestionable, fully demonstrating the majesty and demeanor of an emperor.

"The slave obeys the order!"

An Xi responded respectfully, then turned around and ran quickly towards Kangning Palace.
