Chapter 77: The Conspiracy Reappears (6)
"But, Xue Han, do you know that the whirlpool of fate is dragging her into it? Just like this battle that can break out at any time, at first glance, she is indeed the fuse, but what about in reality? Isn't someone taking advantage of this situation to promote the outbreak of this war?"
Originally thought that this topic would continue, Wang Ye suddenly changed direction in the middle, which shocked Xue Han. He was angry at Wang Ye's words before, but he calmed down instantly.
"What do you mean by that?"
"As the literal meaning suggests, you should be very clear about the current situation in the world, right? Zhao, one of the two major countries that maintain the balance of the world, has lost its original fighting power. If a civil war breaks out in Zhou at this time, do you think it is just a coincidence?"
Xue Han was stunned. To be honest, he was just thinking about the current situation. There should be no civil strife in the Zhou Kingdom. On the surface, it seemed that only the brothers Zhou Cheng and Zhou Yan were fighting for the beauty. But he never thought about whether there was any other story behind this matter. Xue Han didn't dare to imagine that if it was really as Wang Ye said, the mastermind behind this incident that involved the whole world must be an extremely terrifying enemy.
There is a small island located in a sea between the two countries of Han and Wu. The island is full of birdsong and flowers. The uneven peaks standing on the island are like a fairyland on earth. However, if you look closely, you will find that there are countless dangerous places. The exact opposite of a fairyland would be hell!
Standing among the peaks, the highest peak has a huge palace between the peaks. The stone tablet in front of the main gate is engraved with three big characters [Qingfeng Palace]. Inside, there is a palace next to the highest palace. On the exposed balcony, several women dressed like fairies are waving feather fans, carrying fruits, drinks, cakes, etc., surrounding the person lying on the recliner. Is the person standing next to him Canyun? Next to him is Fengyan!
"Really? You just got back. There's no need to report your work to me right away. Just make the decision yourself."
The person lying on his side on the recliner and being served by the beautiful maids was Feng Qinghan, who still had a lazy and cynical attitude.
"I'm sorry I can't do that. Now that you're back, please complete your work."
"...I say, Canyun, can't you be less rigid? And you have a stern face all day long, no wonder those subordinates don't dare to approach you."
"I don't want to hear that from you."
Canyun knew that his cold personality made it difficult for others to approach him. First of all, he himself didn't want to be too close to others. However, compared to making his subordinates difficult to approach, Canyun felt that Feng Qinghan was obviously even worse. So even Canyun would inevitably feel unhappy when he heard someone talking about him, let alone when it came from Feng Qinghan's mouth.
“That’s enough, that’s enough!”
Feng Qinghan waved his hands casually twice, then sat up from the recliner, and then waved his hands. After seeing this, several maids bowed and left. Feng Qinghan's behavior was very clear to everyone in Qingfeng Palace. It meant that he was starting to talk about business, so only Feng Qinghan, Canyun and Feng Yu were left!
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"...According to the latest news, a battle between Prince Zhou and Prince Jing could break out at any time."
Sometimes Canyun really felt helpless with Feng Qinghan, the object of his loyalty, and was even more displeased with his attitude of not taking anything to heart. However, he had gotten used to it and could accept it after a little sorting out.
"'Maybe' doesn't mean the war has already started, does it?"
"I think there shouldn't be any problems this time. Prince Jing has already started to dispatch troops, and I believe Prince Zhou won't sit idly by."
"It would be great if the two of them started a war, which would weaken the Great Zhou's fighting power in one fell swoop. However, I am afraid that unexpected situations may occur , and it will all come to nothing in the end."
"Sir, do you mean there are still unstable factors?"
"You don't know that, do you?"
"... Zhang Yinyin?"
Canyun has always been very cautious and careful in doing things, but he cannot easily control matters involving emotions, especially for people like Zhou Cheng, Zhou Yan and Yin Yin. The original plans were broken again and again because of this, and the same was true for the plague. How attractive the emotional ties are and what kind of effect they will have on a person are all things that Canyun cannot fully understand. After hearing what Feng Qinghan said, he had a bad premonition again.
"Don't you think it's interesting? It feels like the whole world revolves around her, and her decision can easily determine the fate of the world."
"If you knew that, why did you give her the Destiny Bracelet? She will become the biggest obstacle to our plan. I really cannot understand your thoughts. Not only did you give her the Destiny Bracelet, but you also let her stay with them."
From the very beginning, when Canyun knew that Yinyin's existence would bring obstacles to the 'Wind Wolf', Canyun wanted to erase her existence. However, he couldn't do that at that time because Feng Qinghan was always with her. Now, for Yinyin who has the Destiny Bracelet, even Canyun dare not act rashly. The Destiny Bracelet is equivalent to Yinyin's amulet.
"Because it would be boring if things went too smoothly. There should be some obstacles occasionally so that it would feel more fulfilling after completion, right?"
There was a smile in Feng Qinghan's eyes, and all he could think about was Yin Yin's figure. Feng Yan had seen this expression on his face before, but Canyun was different. When he saw Feng Qinghan's gentle gaze, he was completely stunned. This expression that he had never seen before made Canyun feel uneasy.
