Si Yan met the man's sharp gaze and spoke softly, "If we want to defeat Beimang Country, the two countries can only be allies."

"Heh..." Yan Longyi chuckled, a hint of sarcasm passing across the corner of his lips.

Si Yan's expression remained unchanged: "Has the King of Yan ever thought about why Yan and Daxuan had been allies for many years and suddenly went back on their word and betrayed Yan?"

Yan Longyi had certainly thought about it, but the one leading the troops this time was King Yong of Daxuan.

It was King Yong who dared to disobey the imperial edict in order to benefit the people.

It was the Prince Yong who held his hand and talked with him all night long in Shangjing City, saying that they should jointly resist the Beimang army.

He regarded Prince Yong as his elder brother, his confidant, and someone with whom he could confide and work together for great causes.

However, King Yong betrayed him at the most critical moment.

"The King of Yan should know that victory or defeat in a war between two countries is not determined solely by battlefield factors, but also by the court."

Si Yan looked at Yan Longyi calmly, "The court of Daxuan is corrupt, internal affairs are not being managed, loyal ministers and good generals are declining year by year, and the current Daxuan Emperor is even more incompetent and unjust. He favors a wicked concubine, and treacherous ministers abuse their power for personal gain, oppress the people, and deceive the emperor. All of this must be observed."

Yan Longyi didn't expect that a daughter of the Situ family would have such insight?

Yan Longyi's eyes were dark. "Miss Si, do you know that as a Daxuan person, criticizing the Daxuan government and speaking disrespectfully to the Daxuan Emperor is a capital crime?"

"I know." Si Yan smiled, "But the Emperor Daxuan won't know, and the Prince of Yan won't go to him to complain about me."

The girl's light smile eased the gloomy atmosphere a lot.

"Does Miss Si think that the mistakes made by Daxuan should be borne by Yan State?"

"Of course not." Si Yan said firmly, "Da Xuan was wrong, there is no doubt about that."

Si Yan looked back at Yan Longyi, his voice as gentle as the wind: "But Your Highness Prince Yan must also understand that entrusting the affairs of state to one person is your biggest mistake in this battle. As the commander-in-chief of an army, Prince Yan should not only not trust others easily, but also consider all kinds of unexpected situations that may occur on the battlefield, such as Prince Yong not sending troops."

Yan Longyi couldn't help but be stunned.

The girl's gentle and calm voice simply struck his soul.

How many times did Yan Longyi blame himself in his heart when he didn't wait for the reinforcements from Prince Yong?

Why didn't he think about the situation where King Yong did not send troops?

He trusted Prince Yong too much.

He trusted too much in this man who had fought side by side with him and resisted the Beimang army.

They swore an oath of blood and vowed to heaven that they would work together to destroy the Beimang Kingdom.

But in the end, Prince Yong betrayed him.

Miss Si is right, it's not just Prince Yong who's wrong...

As the commander-in-chief of the Yan army, he should bear the primary responsibility for his mistakes.

Si Yan's expression softened. "When the Northern Mang Kingdom saw Yan and Daxuan joining forces, their first thought was to split the two countries. Whether on the battlefield or in the court, the King of Yan was not defeated by his military tactics this time, but by his court strategy."

Yan Longyi knew about the corruption in the Daxuan court.

But he thought that King Yong, as the commander-in-chief, would put the overall situation first.

Even if the Emperor Daxuan issued an imperial decree, Prince Yong would abide by the agreement between them.

But he miscalculated this step after all.

Prince Yong is not like him. He has the full trust of Emperor Yan and Queen Mother Yan.

King Yong was in a difficult situation in Daxuan.

Si Yan said softly, "If the King of Yan dies, then Beimang's conspiracy will be truly accomplished. Then Yan and Daxuan will turn against each other, which will give Beimang the opportunity to annex the two countries one by one."

Si Yan took out the white jade peace token given to her by Yan Longyi from her arms and rubbed it gently between her fingertips.

"Then where will I go to fulfill the promise King Yan made to me?"

Yan Longyi fell silent and didn't speak for a long time.

"If the King of Yan still wants to protect Yan and force Beimang to withdraw, he can only join forces with Daxuan. Only when the two countries work together can we defeat the Beimang army."

Si Yan explained very patiently, "If the King of Yan has thought it through, I am willing to take the lead in this matter and help the two countries reunite to fight against the Beimang Kingdom. As long as the King of Yan is willing to give Yan Kingdom, Daxuan, and me a chance."

Yan Longyi looked at Si Yan in surprise. She was a weak woman, was she crazy to say such things?

She has no power, what can she do?

Can she represent Daxuan?

Looking at the woman in front of him who saved his life, Yan Longyi finally didn't have the heart to fight back against her.

Yan Longyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly, "I'm afraid there's no chance. I've been hit by the enemy's wolf poison arrow and won't live for many days. Miss Si can only help me scrape the poison out, which will extend my life by a few days."

"If I can extend my life by a few days, it will be enough for me to get the antidote."

Yan Longyi:!!!

How many nonsense has he heard from this girl today?

Yan Longyi looked at the woman in front of him with deep eyes, recalling the scene when she used a dagger to scrape the poison off him.

At that time, she was so calm and composed.

At this moment, she was so rampant!

If it were an ordinary person, Yan Longyi would just think it was a pipe dream.

But Si Yan's words actually made him feel enlightened.

She was the one who rushed out from the pile of corpses and saved his life.

"Miss Si, you're joking." Yan Longyi replied rationally.

"I never joke." Si Yan looked calm.

The girl's pair of black eyes were so sharp that Yan Longyi couldn't help but shudder all over.

Si Yan said calmly: "As long as King Yan can live a few more days, I can get the antidote."

She was able to single-handedly obtain confidential information from a heavily guarded enemy base full of surveillance.

You can also get the antidote for wolfsbane arrows from the general of Beimang Kingdom.

Yan Longyi didn't know how to start when Si Yan's gentle voice exploded again like a thunderclap.

"Not only do I want to get the antidote to the wolf poison arrows from Liang Junshan, I also want to make sure that the 200,000-strong army of the Beimang Kingdom will never return."

Yan Longyi:!!!
