My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.
Chapter 804: My trust is not that cheap! Sadness is useless!
Chapter 804: My trust is not that cheap! Sadness is useless!
When Ying Chengjiao declined the palace banquet and rushed back home impatiently, Mrs. Han knew that Ying Chengjiao must have something on his mind.
Therefore, Madam Han did not gather her retainers to welcome Ying Chengjiao, nor did she display any etiquette to welcome the triumphant king. She just took Mi Tian and the other two girls and waited patiently for Ying Chengjiao inside the mansion gate.
So at this moment, Mi Tian and the other two girls did not feel shy at all, and their six little hands were tugging at Ying Chengjiao's clothes.
"My Lord, does it hurt?"
"Where is the master injured? Send a doctor quickly!"
"Sister, move aside and don't touch the wound again!"
The chattering of Mi Tian and the other two girls successfully dispelled Ying Chengjiao's sadness, and even made Ying Chengjiao feel a little bit helpless.
Looking at Ji Wei, whose fox eyes were filled with tears but who stretched out her bare hands to carefully touch her wound, Ying Chengjiao reached out and took Ji Wei back into his arms.
Feeling Ying Chengjiao's embrace, Ji Wei narrowed her eyes unconsciously like a cat being stroked on the head.
But thinking of the wounds on Ying Chengjiao's body, Ji Wei wanted to push him away but was afraid of hurting him, so she could only helplessly say: "Master, be careful! Don't touch the wound!"
Ying Chengjiao hugged her even tighter, and sighed softly, "I'm sorry, I have no choice."
All the muscles in Ji Wei's body stiffened, and her eyes, which were already filled with tears, seemed to burst!
Ji Wei knew very well why Ying Chengjiao apologized.
It wasn’t because Ying Chengjiao was seriously injured in this battle that made Ji Wei worried.
It was because Ying Chengjiao personally chopped off the heads of Ji Wei's two uncles and six brothers in this battle!
It was also because Ying Chengjiao used war to force Ji Wei's elder brother to death!
It was also because Ying Chengjiao used military force to force Ji Wei's father to carry a thorn on his back and apologize to heaven and earth!
If King Xi of Yan had not asked for peace quickly enough, Ji Wei had no doubt that Ying Chengjiao would even lead his army to flatten Ji Wei's hometown and kill Ji Wei almost to the point of wiping out her entire family!
But what can Ji Wei do?
Ji Wei’s eldest brother wants to kill Ying Chengjiao’s eldest brother!
On one side is her elder brother who has loved her since childhood, and on the other side is the lover she has admired since before she got married.
Ji Wei's heart is unable to make a decision, and her strength cannot support her to make any decision!
With shaking hands, she gently embraced Ying Chengjiao's waist and abdomen. Ji Wei raised her head, and her naturally charming fox eyes were now full of sadness and determination: "My elder brother ignored the past friendship between my elder brother and the king, and never cared about my concubine in Daqin."
"The moment the eldest brother decided to bribe the assassin, he had already chosen his fate."
"The moment my father chose to indulge my elder brother, he decided the fate of Dayan."
"And the moment I stepped into the gate of Chang'an Jun's mansion, I also chose my fate."
"Although I am the princess of Yan, I am first and foremost my master's little star!"
"No matter what decision my Lord makes, I will support him without reservation!"
Ji Wei did not have the same ritualistic idea of marrying and obeying her husband as Gui Ling.
But Ji Wei knows very well who will grow old with her and who will share the honor and disgrace with her!
Ji Wei was heartbroken to see her elder brother die and her father humiliated.
But if Ying Chengjiao died on the battlefield, Ji Wei would be living a life worse than death!
After a moment of silence, Ying Chengjiao touched Ji Wei's head and asked in a gentler voice, "I remember that when you married into the Chang'an Palace, you brought a lot of servants and properties as a dowry."
"Did you lose all your money?"
The topic changed too quickly, and Ji Wei, with tears in her eyes, replied blankly: "How could it be lost!"
"They can give me at least tens of thousands of dollars and many other things every year!"
Ying Chengjiao nodded slightly and said, "Then send a message back to Yan State and invite more people to Qin to manage your business for you."
Ji Wei: “Ah???”
A pair of fox eyes looked at Ying Chengjiao in confusion and bewilderment, and even tears could not flow out.
My Lord, aren't we jumping around too quickly?
Seeing this, Mi Tian reminded in a low voice: "Sister Ji, try to choose honest and reliable people from the royal family of Yan who are willing to follow you!"
"But don't have too many people, or it will make things difficult for the master."
"Why don't you thank the Lord for his kindness?"
Unlike the confused Ji Wei, Mi Tian knew very well what Ying Chengjiao's words meant.
Whether from a legal or conceptual perspective, Ji Wei, as a concubine, had no right to own private property.
The ownership of all servants, properties and money that Ji Wei now owns belongs to Ying Chengjiao, but Ying Chengjiao has granted Ji Wei the right to use and benefit from them.
To outsiders, the helpers that Ji Wei summoned from the State of Yan had no subordinate relationship with Ji Wei. They were all Ying Chengjiao's people!
In other words, Ying Chengjiao actually made a promise.
To the outside world, Ying Chengjiao would protect some of the royal family members of the Yan Dynasty selected by Ji Wei in the capacity of Lord Chang'an of the Qin Dynasty.
Internally, these royal family members of Yan State do not need to be loyal to Ying Chengjiao, but only need to obey Ji Wei's orders!
Just twenty-one words mean that dozens or even hundreds of Ji Wei's people will be able to save their lives in the troubled times, and it also means that the power under Ji Wei's command will skyrocket!
Ji Wei still couldn't figure it out, but she quickly bowed as Mi Tian reminded her: "Thank you, my lord!"
Ying Chengjiao gently rubbed Ji Wei's head and turned his gaze to Gui Ling.
After a few moments of silence, Ying Chengjiao said, "Gui Xiaoxing should also send a letter home."
"The content is exactly the same as Ji Xiaoxing's."
Gui Ling's pupils suddenly shrank, and she cried out in disbelief: "Could it be that Qin and Qi are also..."
Ying Chengjiao didn't say much, just shook his head slightly.
Gui Ling's eyes showed some sadness, and she bowed immediately: "Thank you, my lord!"
Ying Chengjiao turned his gaze to Mi Tian again, but saw Mi Tian smiling and shaking her head: "It's not necessary for me." There must be a war between Qin and Yan, and Ji Wei's father might be chopped off by the lord himself!
There might be a war between Qin and Qi, and Gui Ling's father might be killed by the lord!
But guess what?
The State of Chu had perished long ago!
My father and grandfather were captured alive by the master a long time ago!
Ying Chengjiao smiled and said, "I have never had such a plan."
"Please ask Mi Xiaoxing to tell Gong Dafu Po (Jing Po) on my behalf that I am very busy."
"When Ji Xiaoxing and Gui Xiaoxing's families arrive, I'll have to ask you to entertain and accommodate them on my behalf."
Although Ji Wei and Gui Ling must have recruited royal descendants, if their own abilities are not outstanding enough, they are not worthy of being personally greeted by Madam Han or Ying Chengjiao.
As a subject of the Chang'an Jun Mansion, the patriarch of the Jing family, and the father of Xiaoxing in the mansion, Jingpo's identity and status are just right for arranging the relatives of Ji Wei and Gui Ling.
Mi Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, and she bowed without hesitation and said, "My father will certainly obey your command!"
There is no doubt that Ying Chengjiao's arrangement has slightly elevated Mi Tian's status!
Mi Tian knew that agreeing so readily would let Ying Chengjiao know her ambition, and Mi Tian never hesitated to expose her ambition in front of Ying Chengjiao!
Ying Chengxiao smiled and nodded: "Very good!"
After patting Gui Ling and Mi Tian on the head, Ying Chengjiao turned around and ordered in a complicated voice: "Follow me and send you all to rest first!"
Under the escort of Ying Chengjiao, Madam Han, Mi Tian's three daughters, Bafu Guafu and other family soldiers, the bodies of the family soldiers who died in this battle were temporarily placed in the martial arts field of Chang'an Jun Mansion, waiting to be sent back to their families by Ying Chengjiao himself.
Ying Chengjiao even took action personally and worked with the surviving family soldiers to build a sturdy military tent for the coffin.
After everything was ready, the surviving family soldiers returned to their homes, and Mi Tian's three daughters also returned to the courtyard.
Ying Chengjiao followed Mrs. Han back to the study.
"It's so fragrant!"
Feeling the touch of his teeth cutting through the beef fibers and the aroma of the beef, Ying Chengjiao couldn't help but give a satisfied compliment.
Mrs. Han asked with a smile: "Have you recovered?"
Mrs. Han felt sorry for Ying Chengjiao, but she also understood that more than two million dead souls could not defeat Ying Chengjiao.
Otherwise, Ying Chengjiao would surely die on the battlefield along with his soldiers out of fear of their continued sacrifice!
He just unconsciously let down his guard after returning home, and the grievances and torment that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time burst out all at once.
Just like some tough guys who are covered in wounds but still able to fight the enemy with a ferocious look, they may cry loudly because their fingers are broken - just because their mother or wife is right next to them.
Who isn't a baby?
Now Ying Chengjiao no longer needs comfort, he just needs a chance to vent and some concern, and he will lick all the wounds on his body by himself.
As expected, Ying Chengjiao took another piece of beef with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, then laughed in a hoarse voice, "I'm feeling better now."
"I'm sorry to have made Mother worried."
Madam Han smiled and nodded: "In this case, I am relieved."
Feeling the comfort and relief in Madam Han's tone, Ying Chengjiao said seriously: "If my mother is not in the mansion today, I will definitely fly high the flags, wear gorgeous clothes, and go back to my hometown after the night banquet in the palace."
"Then call all the followers to celebrate the victory!"
"There are tens of thousands of people in Chang'an Palace and Chang'an Palace, but only mother and son depend on each other!"
For people of Ying Chengjiao's status, trust and marriage are two unrelated lines, and trust and love are also two unrelated emotions.
For Ying Chengjiao, who grew up in the deep palace, trust is a rare luxury.
In Ying Chengjiao's heart, the only person he can trust wholeheartedly and without reservation is Mrs. Han!
Even Ying Zheng had to rank behind Madam Han.
Listed alongside Ying Zheng are his family soldiers such as Bafu and Guafu who were willing to protect him with their lives. After them are his comrades such as Su Jiao and Peng Yue who watched over each other and trusted each other with their lives on the battlefield.
Because Mi Tian's family interests are deeply tied to the Chang'an Jun Mansion, her trust in Ying Chengjiao can be ranked in the fourth tier, on par with Zhang Liang and others.
As for Ji Wei and Gui Ling, they can only be ranked in the sixth or even seventh tier!
The fundamental reason why Ying Chengjiao could sleep soundly beside Mi Tian and the other two girls had nothing to do with them, but was simply because Madam Han was sitting in Chang'an Jun Mansion on behalf of Ying Chengjiao!
Do you want Mi Tian's three daughters to replace Madam Han in Ying Chengjiao's life?
At least for now, it's impossible!
Mrs. Han's eyes were filled with heartache and relief: "I thought I was not the only one who could comfort my son!"
"But I never thought..."
"My son is worthy of the title of a noble, but such a life is too boring!"
"I have observed the three little stars for several years. The three little stars are worthy of your trust."
Ying Chengjiao shook his head slightly: "The three little stars really touched me and made me happy."
"But it's still too early to talk about trust."
"The reason why I am no longer so sad is not only because of the comfort from the three little stars, but also because I have figured out a truth."
Mrs. Han leaned forward slightly and asked with concern: "What's the reason?"
Ying Chengjiao put down his chopsticks and said in a faint voice: "For those who have passed away."
"Sadness is useless!"
"For those who are still alive."
"Sorrow brings nothing but trouble!"
