Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 3941 67. Morality and Education Make the Country Prosperous (Shangguan Kunyang's mood changed drastically, and he definitely has some talent as an emperor)
“Brother Kunyang, you are the Dragon King now. Your status is different from before. You should not be too impulsive in everything. The establishment of a trade channel between Dongcang and Xijiang is a big deal. You should discuss it with your court officials before making a decision. You must not make decisions just because of our personal relationship…”

Seeing that Shangguan Kunyang had a very good attitude, he was completely different from the man who always used Shangqu to threaten him. Shan Lingyao was afraid that this was a trap, so he deliberately tested him.

"Brother Yunfei, you are overthinking it. I have discussed this matter with the Prime Minister and the Chancellor a few days ago, and they both think it is feasible. Besides, isn't it natural for us to help each other based on our personal relationship?"

As he spoke, Shangguan Kunyang unconsciously raised his hand and patted the back of Shan Lingyao's hand, looking very natural.

"Ah... I'm ashamed to say that I encountered all these bad things when I first entered the ceremony. I didn't understand your situation, Cao Yunfei, before, but now that such things have happened to me, I understand how difficult it is for you to protect the Western Frontier..."

As he spoke, Shangguan Kunyang expressed his deep feelings.

"At first, I looked down on you because I thought your Western Frontier was too poor and you, Cao Yunfei, were too pretentious. I had no idea how much you had suffered. Your brother died on the battlefield, leaving you completely without support. No matter how much you resisted, you still had to take this position because... there is no one else in the White Tiger Army who can be mobilized except you. You are the only bloodline of the Cao family. If you don't hold up the Western Frontier, who else can take on this important task? From an idle prince, you were suddenly pushed to a high ground and took on this important task. Who knows the pain involved?"

As he spoke, Shangguan Kunyang's face darkened and he choked up a little.

"I think it was not easy for you back then, since you haven't gotten over the pain of losing your loved ones yet...you have to face pressure from all sides..."

Hearing this, Shan Lingyao looked up decisively and looked at Shangguan Kunyang, whose eyes were already red. Her heart was in turmoil again, filled with heartache.

"You...are you thinking about your father again...ah...I don't know how to comfort you. Saying words like 'I'm sorry' is just futile. You need some time to digest this feeling. If you have any unhappiness in your heart, you can tell me. I'm willing to listen. You don't need to bear such great pressure."

Shan Lingyao really felt sorry for the man in front of her. She had never been so gentle before in her life, but now she gave this man enough privileges.

"Forget it. It's been so long. I have to let it go even if I don't want to. After all, the dead are gone, and the living have to move on. I can't always live in the pain of remembering my father. I can suffer for a day or two, but the Quan family can't wait for me to sink. If I don't cheer up, who will be in charge of the Quan family?"

As he spoke, Shangguan Kunyang tried hard to hold back his tears, smiled bitterly, and poured another cup of tea for Shan Lingyao.

"It's best if you can think this way. Which one of us is safe and sound? How can we support the world without scars? There is strength only when there is a burden. Pressure is not necessarily a bad thing, and a smooth road is not necessarily a good thing. If you can understand this truth, it means you have grown up." Shan Lingyao raised his glass to invite him, and all he said were words of comfort.

Shangguan Kunyang smiled and raised his glass to accept the invitation. The two of them drank from each other from a distance, which meant that they cared about each other.

At this point, Shan Lingyao put down the empty cup and said again: "So, right now you need to take care of yourself. As for the matter of exchanging trade channels, it's not impossible to put it aside for a while."

"No need. The timing is perfect right now. The Prime Minister told me that you have established a transportation station in the Quan clan, which is said to help us transport goods quickly and reduce the distance, but..."

Having said that, Shangguan Kunyang raised his eyes intentionally, and his scrutinizing gaze fell on Shan Lingyao, observing the other party's attitude.

"I know what you want to say. Your Prime Minister's worries are not without reason. At present, we have trade channels with each other. Our tribe has established transportation stations in your Quan tribe to find out your Quan tribe's routes, but... has Kunyang ever thought about another thing? If a war is really imminent, with these stations, various important resources and talents of your Quan tribe can be quickly transported to a safe place. What you are worried about is that your territorial sovereignty will be infringed. But let's take a step back. With the daily behavior of our Yi tribe, are we the kind of people like the White Tiger Military who would take advantage of the situation and rob people?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Shangguan Kunyang's eyes narrowed. These words touched the other person's heart.

"If it were someone else, with such a wolfish ambition, I'm afraid people would be on guard. However, after the test, Yimen has always punished evil and promoted good, and bullied the weak. Moreover, in this cooperation of mutual trade channels, our Yi clan has also enjoyed the rich benefits and resources of the Quan clan. After all, the mouth that eats the mouth is short, and the hand that takes the hand is short. When the interests of the Quan clan are infringed, our Yi clan can only stand on the side of the Quan clan. How can we replace the Quan clan?"

As soon as these words came out, the balance in Shangguan Kunyang's heart began to tilt. After considering for a long time, he said, "You are right. What my clan is worried about is the character of Yimen, but...Yimen's style over the years has long been famous in martial arts. I believe in you. If it weren't for you, Town Master Cao, I wouldn't be where I am today. Besides...I was stabbed in the back by my own brother. The pain was so deep that I saw through human nature for the first time. So...I will think about this matter again and again. Brother Yunfei should be able to understand my pain, right?"

"Of course I understand. Brother Kunyang can think about things this way, which shows that you are thinking about the overall situation. It also proves that Kunyang has grown a lot now. It's just... I met the wrong person, a villain like Wu Xuanhua. Forget about him. Let's talk about our cooperation, right?"

As soon as Wu Xuanhua was mentioned, Shangguan Kunyang's face suddenly drooped. Seeing this, Shan Lingyao immediately changed the subject and intentionally avoided this person.

"Brother Yunfei, you don't have to avoid Wu Xuanhua. I have seen through this person. He is an ungrateful wolf raised by my Quan family, a dog that can never be tamed! I only have an irreconcilable hatred for him now, and no other feelings! That villain is good at disguising himself. He caused my family to be destroyed, and the revenge for killing my father cannot be underestimated. It's just that my current strength is still weak, and I am no match for Wu Xuanhua, and I need an alliance now. I wonder if Brother Yunfei can introduce me to the Tianmen Zhenshi?"

As soon as these words came out, Shan Lingyao was dumbfounded and almost dropped his jaw...
