Chapter 226: Does she have this method?
Swords and spears are merciless on the battlefield. Even though Yun Ji is a martial arts master, he was once ambushed by the Beishuo army during his previous life.
Beishuo was led by a great general and came with great force. As soon as the Dali soldiers came face to face with them, they were frightened and their morale was greatly damaged.
In order to maintain his side's fighting spirit, he developed a high fever and a severe headache, but he refused to say a word.
Finally, with the tacit cooperation between him and Nan Yi, Dali won the victory. He fainted on the ground without even having time to drink a sip of celebratory wine.
Feeling dizzy, Yun Ji was worried about his brothers' concern. When they came over, he mumbled "It's okay".
Hearing him say "no problem" in the same tone even after ten years, Nan Yi felt that his body was burning hot and did not dare to delay, so he carried him to the military doctor's tent.
After taking the medicine, Yun Ji woke up briefly.
Seeing that he was using the medicine, which was in short supply in the military camp, he waved his hands a few times, indicating "not necessary".
Before Nan Yi and the military doctor could insist, Yun Ji lost consciousness again.
He was still being escorted by Nan Yi, and only after the military doctor's repeated warnings did he lie on the hard bed for most of the day.
Since then, Nan Yi deeply understood that Yun Ji was a bastard who would never call a military doctor unless he fainted from the pain.
Fearing that Yun Ji would continue to hold on, he took the initiative to send a military doctor to check on his condition every day.
After a few interactions, Yun Ji and the military doctor became familiar with each other.
Hearing the voice of the military doctor outside, Yun Ji couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
The military doctor is experienced and has excellent medical skills. He is completely different from those imperial doctors who just eat for free. How could he not be able to tell if I was pregnant?
Eager to find out why his daughter was feeling uncomfortable, Nan Yi hurriedly shouted, "Come in!"
Because he had promised Xiao Zhizi that he would take good care of the military doctor, Yun Ji hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not stop the military doctor from coming.
Thinking of the diagnosis that the military doctor would make, he lowered his eyes and subconsciously curled up in the bed.
What are you really afraid of?
The cold wind outside the tent blew away in an instant, and the temperature of Nan Yingzhi's palm disappeared.
She raised her hand and sniffed lightly, feeling emotional.
Above this, there was originally Yun Ji's seductive aura.
Once you go outside, everything is gone with the wind, what a pity.
In order to avoid the cold wind, she put her hands behind her back and pursed her lips, trying to look intimidating without being angry.
Walking to the small room where Yuchi Yi was imprisoned, Nan Yingzhi glanced at Yun Yan who was waiting outside the door and went straight to the point.
"Yan'er," her eyes swept across the bamboo basket in Yun Yan's hand, and she asked knowingly, "I heard from General Nan that you want to see Yuchi Yi?"
Yun Yan's expression was firm, as if she was going to the execution ground: "Yes."
Confused as to why she had just escaped from Yuchi Yi and then went to provoke him, Nan Yingzhi tried to test him: "Why do you want to see him?"
"Royal brother," Yun Yan said confidently, "Yan'er is here to persuade him to surrender to our Dali."
Hearing that the purpose of her trip was so pure and for the good of Dali, Nan Yingzhi couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
She had previously said that she was pregnant with Wei Chiyi's child and wanted to be with him for the rest of her life, so she half begged and half threatened him to make concessions.
Now, seeing that the situation had changed, she changed her mind and wanted to persuade Yuchi Yi to surrender on behalf of Beishuo.
It’s really... intriguing.
While pondering Yun Yan's fence-sitting behavior, Nan Yingzhi couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.
She and Yun Ji were both pregnant, so why was Yun Ji so miserable that she couldn't eat or drink, while she was full of energy and could spend all day trying to persuade the two countries to surrender?
Considering Yun Yan, if she can successfully persuade Yuchi Yi this time, not only will the border between the two countries be peaceful, but the people will also benefit.
Yunji had a companion on the way to take care of her baby, so she wouldn't be too bored. Nan Yingzhi turned her head and ordered the guard, "Open the door."
Hearing your majesty’s personal order, the soldiers dared not disobey.
He quickly took out the key hanging from his waist and said to her, "Your Majesty, please."
Suddenly going from darkness to dim morning light, Yuchi Yi raised his hand to cover his eyes, trying to adapt to the glaring light through the gaps between his fingers.
All his limbs were tied up with new iron chains made by the blacksmith. Whenever he moved, the chains collided with each other, making a distinctive "ding-ling-dangling" sound that made one's teeth ache.
Even though there was water outside, he couldn't find the water bowl due to the dim light and was unable to drink much.
By this time, my mouth was already dry.
Licking his lips, he said in a hoarse voice: "Who?"
Yun Yan felt uncomfortable seeing that he was so glorious yesterday but now like a blind man, groping to look at himself and his brother in the sudden light.
"Brother Yuchi," she couldn't help but take a step forward, "It's Yan'er, Yan'er is here to see you."
Smelling the familiar aroma of Beishuo's food, Yuchi Yi's stomach, which was not accustomed to Dali's food, made a rumbling sound for a moment.
Feeling hungry, he subconsciously reached for the hem of Yun Yan's skirt.
Unexpectedly, Yuchi Yi would pounce on its prey like a hungry tiger. Yun Yan frowned slightly and hid to the side.
He missed the target and came to his senses belatedly. He recognized the person from Yun Yan's voice.
"Yan'er, why are you here?"
Against the light, Yuchi Yi slowly saw Yun Yan and Nan Yingzhi behind her. His expression changed from relaxed to alert. "Emperor Dali? What are you doing here?"
Nan Yingzhi sat down slowly on the chair that the soldier had moved over. She shrugged and said, "It's not me who wants to see you. It's Yan'er. She wants to see you for something."
Surprised that Yun Yan would take the initiative to look for him, Yu Chiyi supported himself with his hands and climbed up against the wall: "Yan'er, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, Yan'er has something to say to Brother Yuchi,"
It was not easy to urge Nan Yingzhi to leave openly, and she felt uncomfortable under her surveillance. Yun Yan looked embarrassed and said, "Brother, can you..."
"Yun Yan," Nan Yingzhi rested her chin on the back of her hand with her elbows on the armrests, "You can persuade your brother Yuchi for an hour.
"As for the effect, if there is, that's the best. If not, I won't blame you. Just do your best.
"But I want to be there and watch it myself.
"Do you have any objection?"
Knowing that Nan Yingzhi was willing to let her meet Yuchi Yi, it was already a huge concession, so Yun Yan did not bargain.
"Yan'er, I have no objection." She folded her hands and bowed, "Thank you, my royal brother, for your help."
Having spent a long time with Yun Ji, Nan Yingzhi has already learned his every move and every detail.
"Well," she slowly lifted the teacup, gently moved the lid, and said, "Let's chat."
Yuchi Yi was slightly surprised to see her smooth and graceful movements.
Oriental etiquette is complicated yet full of charm, and it truly lives up to its reputation.
After hesitating for a while, Yun Yan carefully considered her words and spoke: "Brother Yuchi, what do you think about the conflict between Dali and Beishuo?"
Seeing Nan Yingzhi from then on, Yuchi Yi had to bow his head under the eaves.
He was silent for a while, then managed a few official words: "As two countries living next to each other, some friction is inevitable."
Knowing that he was concerned about Nan Yingzhi, he would not say anything bad to her. Yun Yan asked directly, "So, who do you think is at fault for the war between the two countries?"
Yuchi Yi felt embarrassed as he could vaguely hear that she wanted him to judge the right and wrong in the war between the two sides.
His father, Wang Yuchi Feng, tore up the contract without authorization and was in the wrong.
But Nan Yi attacked all the way to their capital, Dadu, and almost destroyed Beishuo.
Moreover, Nan Yi also kept his father on hold, making it impossible for him to succeed to the throne legitimately for a while, which really made him hate him to death.
Taking a look at the leisurely Nan Yingzhi and Ling Yu standing beside her, Yuchi Yi didn't have the courage to act rudely in front of her.
As if his tongue couldn't be straightened, he was vague and didn't give a direct response: "It's hard to explain in a few words."
"It's hard to explain it in one sentence. Brother Yuchi, you can say more."
Remembering what the Master had taught her before, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle", Yun Yan put down the food box and said, "Brother Royal gave it to Yan'er for one hour.
"Brother Yuchi, we can talk slowly."
Yuchi Yi was well aware of the dispute between the two countries and he had to make it clear. At this moment, with Nan Yingzhi's presence, it was a good opportunity to talk it out.
But after being hungry for a long time, he seemed to see stars twinkling in front of his eyes and he really had no energy to talk in detail with Yun Yan.
"Yan'er," he grunted for a long time, his fingertips pointing to the food box on the ground, "Can you give me something to eat first?"
Just as she was worrying about how to get Yuchi Yi to back down, Yun Yan heard him asking her for food, so she said, "Brother Yuchi, are you hungry?"
Yuchi Yi nodded repeatedly: "Okay Yan'er, give it to me quickly."
To his surprise, Yun Yan did not show any sympathy or feed him the food carefully, mouthful by mouthful. Instead, she used her embroidered shoes to move the food box behind her.
Her sweet voice revealed an innocence that was inconsistent with her cruel behavior: "After eating the food of the Dali army, will Brother Yuchi surrender on behalf of the Beishuo people?"
Yuchi Yi was stunned when he saw the food box, which was so close to him, suddenly became quite far away from his hand.
He was puzzled as to how a beautiful girl like her could be so cruel to a hungry person. He hesitated and said, "Yan'er, what are you doing...?"
Yun Yan lifted up her skirt and slowly squatted down in front of Yuchi Yi: "Brother Yuchi, have you ever heard of the poem, 'Who knows that every grain of rice on the plate is the result of hard work'?"
(Tang Dynasty Li Shen "Mercy for the Peasants", I'm afraid you may have forgotten the title and author of the poem, so I'll just make a note~)
Seeing him nod blankly, she chuckled, "That's right. Farmers work hard all year round, so how can Brother Yuchi eat and drink for free?"
After being locked in the dark room for a long time, Yuchi Yi didn't know how fast time passed outside, and his will was no longer as strong as before.
His tone was almost pleading: "Yan'er, what can I do so I can eat?"
Point out a clear path for him, "Yan'er, this meal is only for those who follow Dali."
Taking in their every move, Nan Yingzhi slowly closed the lid of the cup.
She appeared calm on the surface, but was actually a little surprised.
Yun Yan looks weak and can be bullied, but she actually has such means?
It really opened her eyes.
