Chapter 809: Illusory Innocence
"If it's just in the Chiyang Country, it has nothing to do with me what he does, but now this witch doctor hall has come to the Cangqiu Country. Besides, the name of the 'Witch Doctor Hall' was suddenly changed, which is clearly a provocation to you who slaughtered the Witch Doctor family, plus the Witch Doctor Hall worships the statue of the god of fire every day, if the people behind this scene are unwilling people after apostasy, it will be counted, if you didn't slaughter the fish that slipped through the net back then, it will be difficult to do, and those who can survive will know more and run away. ”
Si Chen glanced at him.
She already knew what he meant.
During the Three Kingdoms Congress, he specially lured her out before the arrival of the Chiyang Kingdom mission, first talked about the Witch Doctor Hall and the weapon man, and openly and secretly pointed all the spearheads of these two things at the Chiyang Kingdom, he was to make her wary of the Chiyang Country, and to avoid the Feng Ming Kingdom and the Chiyang Kingdom from getting close to the Chiyang Kingdom in the future.
He deliberately didn't say anything, just waiting for her to question him with a breath of anger after seeing the temple on the top of the mountain, he knew that she wouldn't believe him if he took the initiative to say it, so he waited for her to ask, and then picked up what he wanted to say and told her.
Nowadays, the war has just ended, and the three countries are united, and it is precisely because the three countries are united and they do not trust each other, and each country will worry that the other two countries will join forces to attack themselves, so it is necessary to divide and create estrangement, and only by continuing to let the three countries distrust each other, the situation of the three countries can be maintained stably.
Yan Ying's words are not necessarily false, he is worried that there are people from Shengzi Mountain behind the scenes of the Witch Doctor Hall, but there must be parts of exaggeration and concealment in his words, and the purpose of telling her these is not pure.
He was afraid that she would be angry and cooperate with Dou Xuan regardless of her choice and join forces to destroy the Cangqiu Kingdom, so he used the two things she was most taboo to separate her from the Chiyang Kingdom, just to cut off the possibility of Feng Ying Kingdom and the Chiyang Kingdom.
In the short term, Yan Ying didn't want to go to war again for personal reasons, Si Chen saw through this, and at the same time, she also knew that if she started a war when Yan Ying wanted to start a war, it would be ripe, and when that time came, she would lose.
In this matter, Yan Ying was too vigilant, Si Chen didn't want to cooperate with anyone, because in terms of military strength, the Feng Ming Kingdom and the Chiyang Kingdom were still in a weak position, and the Feng Ying Kingdom, which was in a weak position in the real war, would definitely be forced by the Chiyang Kingdom to become the vanguard army and be wantonly consumed in combat power, and when a battle was over, the Feng Ying Kingdom, which had consumed most of its combat power, would only become a meal sent to the door. Si Chen would not be so stupid as to take revenge on him just because he hated him, so he didn't care about being reckless, he overestimated the emotion in her heart, which had long lost its intensity, and it had basically never boiled since the reunion.
Just now he seemed to inadvertently handed her a flower branch, his meaning couldn't be clearer, after separating the Chiyang Kingdom and the Feng Ming Kingdom, he hoped that she could abandon the previous suspicions, and the two sides put aside their hatred and form an alliance, anyway, it is more reliable to choose a former lover who knows the bottom than to unite with a man who has been unable to figure out the details and behave strangely.
Yan Ying hoped that she could see the situation clearly and agree.
Si Chen would not agree, from the moment he walked out of the Holy Son Mountain, he was destined to be the opponent, and in this life they were enemies, which would not change no matter how the situation changed.
Today they can whisper and even blame each other here, but when they go to the battlefield one day, the end will be either life or death or death together, and there is nothing to give or reluctant, this is the path chosen by two people who refuse to give in.
Yan Ying was still looking forward to that little bit of meaningless, illusory beauty and innocence when she knew the ending, which made Si Chen angry and funny, the kind of childishness that was completely inconsistent with him now, occasionally aroused Si Chen's desire to poke it up, and at the same time she felt a little sad, but it was not appropriate for this "pathetic" to be completely buckled on him.
What she wanted to know was what had happened to him, and his answer to her was not meaningless to her, but it was seriously off topic, maybe it was because she didn't ask the right question, but he wouldn't have understood it, he just didn't want to answer her.
She grew up with him, but she didn't know anything about him.
Perhaps, even if she knew, she couldn't change anything.
……
The bright moon is like a mirror, casting sparkling waves on the surface of the lake.
Si Chen sat on the tree next to the cliff, eating taro crisp slowly. She didn't want to eat much, but this was Shen Run's day out and brought it back for her, and she was always a little reluctant not to eat two bites, but fortunately Shen Run got back a packet of cooked taro crisp, not two pieces of raw taro dug out of the soil.
"Is it sweet?" Shen Run sat beside her, looked at her, and asked with a smile.
Si Chen shook his head.
"I've tasted it before, and I bought it because it wasn't sweet, and I didn't let anyone add sugar." Si Chen hates sweet things.
Si Chen didn't speak.
Shen Run glanced at her, and stopped talking.
Si Chen glanced at him with his peripheral vision, she knew that he wanted to ask what she said to Yan Ying after he left, but he couldn't ask this kind of thing anyway, on the one hand, because he was now able to grasp the distance between them, and on the other hand, because of his strong self-esteem.
He sat silent.
Si Chen suddenly stuffed the taro crisp in his hand to him.
Shen Run was stunned: "Don't eat it?" ”
"You can eat."
Shen Run smiled and picked up the taro crisp: "I'll keep it for you, eat it next time." ”
"Do you think the next battle can be fought?" Si Chen asked him.
Shen Run was slightly stunned, since Feng Mingguo captured Long Xi Kingdom, she rarely discussed political affairs with him anymore, just to let him understand his position, all the court affairs she handed over to him were lengthy and meaningless, and it was the first time she asked him such a sharp question.
Surprise flashed, he thought for a moment, and replied:
"Dou Xuan hurriedly ascended the throne during the war, not to mention other countries, even the Chiyang country was also in an uproar, and there were endless fights between factions, it was not easy for him to stabilize the country until after the war, unless he formed an alliance with other countries, it was impossible to start an independent war, and the Chiyang country would not agree with it, because the Chiyang country's attack on the Cangqiu country ended in the defeat of the Chiyang country. Cangqiu Guo Yan Ying's family is dominant, coercing the princes of the Son of Heaven, if he fights in the court, there is probably no one to oppose it, but his reputation among the people is not very good, and the war will definitely cost the people and money, arouse the anger of the people, and it is easy to catch fire in the backyard during the war, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”
"So, you don't think you can fight?"
"Before starting the war, you must prepare enough food and grass, the battle between Cangqiu Country and Chiyang Country is much more fierce than you and me, unless you are well prepared, it is unlikely that you will start a war first." After a pause, he smiled and said, "But when they're ready, you'll be in danger." Now it is not as good as before, no one will attribute winning the war to your luck, I have become a lesson from the past, and no one will despise you, despise your war as an enemy, and your beauty plan will no longer work, the world is like this, there are rivers and mountains to have beauties, without the country, the beauty is not necessarily anyone's. ”
