Chapter 222 Leng Qingchen's Heart Moved
Upon hearing the words of the Southern Yan Emperor, the Prime Minister's brows knitted together. He said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, if we hand over Southern Yan to China, there will no longer be a Southern Yan Kingdom in the world. They will station troops here, just like any other country."
The Grand Marshal was a veteran of three dynasties, his hair already silver, and he looked melancholy: "Your Majesty, you must be cautious!"
All the ministers knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
Jiang Yu sighed, leaned towards the Nine Dragons Red Gold Chair, and frowned slightly.
His expression changed several times, and his entire face showed an unrecognizable complex expression.
Gradually everything calmed down, leaving only a hint of deep thought, as thick as fog, almost surrounding it.
“Back then, the world was divided and torn apart. It was only then that our ancestors of the Jiang family conquered the country and established the foundation of Nanyan for nine hundred years.
Since I ascended the throne, I have been working diligently, loving the people like my own children, being close to virtuous ministers and staying away from villains. I have watched the country become rich and the people strong, and I have never dared to slack off for a moment.
Although he cannot be called a benevolent monarch, at least he is not a foolish one.
The Queen Mother of Dong Qin took into consideration the relationship between us as senior brothers and sisters and spared my face.
You know Leng Jiuyuan. His son's methods are even worse than his.
During my lifetime, Dong Qin and Nan Yan will live in peace, but what about the next generation?
Now, to the great country of Dong Qin, Nan Yan is just a tiny country.
Can my prince defend Nanyan? Can my junior sister lead 30,000 cavalry to kill 300,000 people in Nanyue?
A master from Yunzhao Kingdom helped to set up the Seven Killing Blood Mist Formation to reappear the zombie army, but they were all eliminated by the junior sister.
What can you use to compete with Dong Qin? A battle between the two armies will only result in a loss of lives.
If I send Nan Yan away, I can save the lives of my Nan Yan army soldiers, which is worth it.
You also know that sitting on this throne is not my wish.
Among my many sons, none can compare to Leng Moli in ability and ruthlessness.
If you were the Emperor of Eastern Qin, and the world was at peace just because of one major concern, would you eliminate it?"
The important minister bowed his head and remained silent.
"I have made up my mind. You don't need to say anything more. I will write a letter to Dong Qin and ask Junior Sister and Leng Jiuyuan to take over Nan Yan."
"..."

Dongqin Palace
Ye Qingyan and Leng Jiuyuan were sitting there, drinking the newly-delivered green tea. Feng Yi walked in with a letter. "Master, the Emperor of Nan Yan has sent a letter for you to open personally."
Ye Qingyan took it and looked at the cover of the letter. It was written in the handwriting of Sixth Senior Brother.
She took out the letter and began to read it, a smile appearing on her lips from time to time.
After reading it, Ye Qingyan handed the letter to Leng Jiuyuan: "Jiuyuan, Sixth Senior Brother asked us to take over Nanyan, and he doesn't want to owe me a favor.
He didn't want the next generation of Dong Qin and Nan Yan to meet on the battlefield, and Nan Yan would surely be defeated, and it would be another bloody battle with countless casualties."
Leng Jiuyuan finished reading the letter, put it on the table, and said in a cold voice: "I didn't expect Emperor Nan Yan to be so open-minded. I am really impressed by him."
Ye Qingyan smiled, "Sixth Senior Brother has always been wise.
When we went to Nanyan, we named Sixth Senior Brother the King of Nanyan. We couldn't let him sit idle.
He is the Emperor of Southern Flame. No one knows Southern Flame better than him. We can rest assured that he will be in charge of the area. What do you think? "
Leng Jiuyuan took a sip of tea, looking thoughtful. When he put down the teacup, his eyes were full of tenderness and he said, "Everything is up to you."
Ye Qingyan's eyebrows flickered: "Okay, I'll prepare some more things and bring Leng Qingchen with me."
Leng Jiuyuan understood.
On the second day, Ye Qingyan and the others teleported to the Kingdom of Nanyan.
When Jiang Yu learned that his junior sister and others had arrived, he hurriedly took the ministers out to greet them.
"Sixth Brother!"
"Junior Sister, Brother Leng, please come in."
…………
Leng Qingchen did not go in, but looked around. He did not like court affairs.
At this moment, a young woman in the distance came into his sight.
The woman was wearing a white gauze dress and a light green brocade belt embroidered with lilies around her waist, which made her figure look even more slim.
She wore only a white jade lily hairpin on her head, her face was as rosy as peach blossoms in March, and her eyebrows were as curved as willows.
Her eyes are as bright as autumn water, her lips are red without any makeup, and she exudes elegance in her every move.
This woman was Jiang Wanyi, the queen's daughter. She was holding a flower in her hand and walking forward slowly, followed by two palace maids.
Jiang Wanyi was sent to learn martial arts at the age of five. She just came back from the mountain last month and has a set of kung fu skills.
Suddenly, a clear bird song was heard, which was very pleasant to the ear.
A bluebird flew overhead.
"Bluebird!" Jiang Wanyi shouted.
She tapped the ground with one foot, leaped into the air, and headed straight for the blue bird.
The cry attracted Leng Qingchen from a distance. He saw a beautiful woman catching a bluebird.
The blue bird didn't want to be caught, so it flew desperately, but Jiang Wanyi chased it relentlessly and refused to give up.
The man and the bird began to play in the air.
"Interesting!" Leng Qingchen, dressed in white, said playfully.
Jiang Wanyi wanted to get some support, so she glanced at the corner of the building next to her and stepped on the tiles.
"what!"
She missed a step and fell uncontrollably to the ground.
Her mind went blank at the sudden accident and she even forgot that she knew martial arts.
Leng Qingchen's eyes flashed with shock, and he flew forward and held Jiang Wanyi in his arms.
The two of them floated down like a pair of immortal lovers."
Jiang Wanyi's face immediately turned red as clouds. She glanced at Leng Qingchen and lowered her head shyly.
Leng Qingchen smiled slightly, his eyes slanted, his figure was handsome and heroic, and his every move revealed his nobility, like a banished immortal who had accidentally entered the mortal world.
"you are?"
Princess Yi thought to herself: There are such exquisite people in the world!
Her heart was pounding like seven or eight little deer running around in the air.
"I am Leng Qingchen, the King of Chu of the Eastern Qin State. When will you come down?"
Jiang Wanyi's face turned red as blood. She quickly let go of her hand and stood still. At this moment, she wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.
She clasped her fists like a child of the Jianghu, "Thank you, King Chu, for your help. I am Princess Yi of the Southern Yan Kingdom.
I was just playing around and nearly got hurt. If you need Wanyi in the future, please let me know."
Leng Qingchen's heartbeat quickened a few beats, and an unknown emotion emerged in his dark eyes.
He curled his lips and said calmly, "Princess, don't worry about it. It's just a small favor for me."
"King Chu, why don't you come to my bedroom for a cup of tea? This princess will do her bit to show her hospitality."
Leng Qingchen was bored, and coming to Nanyan was not his wish, so he readily agreed: "Then I will bother you!"
The two of them walked forward side by side. Looking at both of them was pleasing to the eyes, making people feel that they only envied the mandarin ducks and not the immortals, and for a moment they were envious of others.
When they arrived at the Lily Palace, the two chatted while drinking tea, gradually became familiar with each other, and opened up the conversation.
Jiang Wanyi smiled and asked, "King Chu, have you ever married a princess?"
Leng Qingchen said calmly, "This prince already has a wife, Li Qingyi."
Jiang Wanyi was a little disappointed at first, but then she thought: If there is no principal wife, there is still a concubine.
Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? Besides, he is the emperor's younger brother."
Princess Wanyi's maid Yao Yue stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, you are hugging the princess in public. It's a rule that men and women shouldn't touch each other.
Our princess is the daughter of the Empress Dowager and the apple of the Emperor's eye.
Now that we have lost our reputation, how will our princess survive and get married?"
