Picked up a little prince

Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Showing Goodwill (2 in 1)

    "Brother, do you know? Actually, some things are inherently unfair."

    Liang Wanqing and Ling Rui sat opposite each other, letting the smoke of the incense burner linger between them, depicting a sense of alienation and loneliness.

    "For example?"

    "For example—me. Brother, have you ever thought about how we would respond if Xirong attacked the Northern Dynasty in a big way?" Liang Wanqing asked in a trembling voice.

    This is the story of her past life, and she never thought that one day she would use it to comfort others, and this person used to be the source of her pain.

    Ling Rui was a little puzzled, and asked ignorantly: "Why did they attack us? We give them the honor of being a vassal, isn't that enough?"

    "Of course it's not enough, people's ambitions are unlimited. Xi Rong was not born a vassal, they were jealous. The financial and resources of the Northern Dynasty will of course be plundered by force. If such a thing happens, brother, what would you do if you were an emperor?"

    Ling Rui thought for a while, he wanted to see from the opposite side that he was still in his prime. There was even a hint of playfulness on the girl's face, but he couldn't find it. The girl was so solemn and serious, as if he was the only one who had always been dull.

    "I don't know."

    "No! Of course you know," Liang Wanqing directly overturned the tea cup with her hand, took a deep breath, and tried her best to suppress the crying in her nose, "You won't fight, you won't send troops, Because you dare not, because you are so cowardly, you can only cede land, pay indemnity, and have relatives."

    "Yes, that's all I can do, but so what? Does this have anything to do with me wanting to escape from the world? I'm a dignified prince. , can't you just avoid the world if you want to?"

    Ling Rui's voice also increased. He didn't know what was the use of his cousin talking to him. He no longer cares about the affairs of the previous dynasty, what does it have to do with him.

    "Of course it does. If Xi Rong wanted the Northern Dynasty to marry, who would you choose to marry?" Liang Wanqing asked with a wry smile.

    Ling Rui was silent because he only had one choice.

    "Me? Is that right?" Liang Wanqing raised her head, pressed her fingertips against the tears drawn from the corners of her eyes, and said with a wry smile, "What about me? Am I born to have sex? Am I born to marry a barbarian and live in solitude? Is it?"

    "This is different, this..." Ling Rui subconsciously retorted.

    "This is exactly the same. I was born to contribute to the interests of the Northern Dynasty and the Northern Dynasty. You are born to work hard for the Northern Dynasty." Liang Wanqing said word by word.

    Ling Rui wanted to deduct something from the sentence to refute, but in the end it was useless: "So, so should we accept our fate? But I really don't want to see such a scene again, you haven't seen it. Well , you won't understand."

    Blood? Or kill?

    No matter what it was, Liang Wanqing admitted that she had seen too many. When a country is weak, all the vassals will come to besiege you.

    "Of course we don't have to accept our fate. Because there are still choices before us. You want the Northern Dynasty to be prosperous enough, as long as our army is strong enough, the Xirong people will be discouraged, the war can be avoided, and the marriage will not recur. Your temporary escape , can't change any ending. Cousin, I've said it all, think about it."
