Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 196 Intention
"Gu Jingnian has once again exceeded my expectations."

Yin Yuhe sat down opposite Wei Li and talked about what Gu Jingnian had done in Jusai City.

At this time he did not act like an emperor at all, he was just a gentle man talking to his confidante.

Finally, he shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "Maybe I shouldn't have superpowers in this life. I finally made up my mind, but that kid gave me a severe 'warning'."

Wei Li said: "I told you long ago that it is not advisable to plant newts to seek resurrection, and Gu Beiming's purpose is probably to consume Yongguo with alchemy."

"That being said, I'm still too fragile."

There was worry in Yin Yuhe's tone.

This time, Gu Jingnian's resistance to Gu Beiming gave him a strong sense of danger, making him think that Yin Jinggeng might treat him like this one day.

"You have been fragile for a long time. If you want to change, you have to do it step by step." Wei Li asked, "What are you worried about recently?"

"It's just, father and son."

An unkillable father and an overly strong son, the troubles that they brought to Yin Yuhe were almost obvious.

"Internal fighting, internal fighting." Wei Li said: "I still say that the Rui Kingdom is the biggest enemy, and we don't have much time left."

As she spoke, her expression became more serious and she warned Yin Yuhe again.

"If we can't get rid of Wei Huang before he becomes immortal, or even immortal, we will never have another chance."

"I know……"

"I don't think you know!" Wei Li said angrily, "What have you been doing all these years? Refining a salamander... Wei Huang is becoming a god, but you want to turn yourselves into insects crawling in a dark corner!"

Yin Yuhe smiled bitterly and said, "It was you who came up with the plan to win over Gu Beiming. I didn't expect that Gu Beiming would play a trick on me and change my father's mind. I can't do anything about it."

"But your mindset has changed, too."

"I agreed to cooperate with him only to temporarily appease Gu Beiming."

Wei Li said: "I think you found that the gap between you and Wei Huang is too big, and your determination has wavered. Yin Yuhe, although you were weak in the past, you were very determined. Now..."

"Li Niang, calm down." Yin Yuhe held Wei Li's hand and said, "You are too excited. You look scared of Wei Huang."

"Of course I'm afraid. The supernatural powers that Yue State has condensed with the whole country's strength have all become his magical powers!"

"We still have time." Yin Yuhe said, "He hasn't found the phoenix yet, and he can't achieve nirvana. He is still afraid of fire and beheading, and he will still die of old age. We still have many chances to kill him."

"I don't know." Wei Li shook her head. "We are distracted by too many things. Every time you come here recently, you talk about how scared you are of your son."

"They have taken the wrong path. To deal with a strong enemy, we cannot just rely on opposing alchemy." Yin Yuhe said, "This is what you told me."

"Yes, they are on the wrong path, but I will guide them to the right path. I have already made arrangements."

"Okay, okay, I know you always have a way."

Yin Yuhe stood up and walked to the opposite seat, put his arm around Wei Li's shoulders and comforted her.

After a while, the two of them entered the room in the attic together, embraced each other, and each breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, seventeen years ago, when Yin Yuhe saw Wei Li for the first time, he wanted to marry her.

It was not just out of consideration for a marriage alliance with the Kingdom of Yue. At the beginning, it was simply because his heart was moved by her.

So he begged Yin Kuo to issue an edict to grant the marriage, and Yin Kuo agreed. However, he did not expect that when the edict was conveyed, the person granting the marriage was the eighth brother Yin Yucheng. Yin Yuhe personally went to ask Yin Yucheng to refuse the marriage.

Looking back to the past, there was still affection between the two brothers.

Even at this time, there was still deep affection between him and Wei Li.

--------

When Gu Jingnian saw Wei Yushi again, he almost failed to recognize her.

The rustic little country girl at that time, after not seeing her for more than a month, had transformed into a beautiful girl with reserved and noble manner.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, you've changed a lot."

"No la."

Wei Yushi lowered her head, and then her eyes fell on Miao Chunniang, who was holding the child behind Gu Jingnian. She was amazed that there was such beauty in the world.

She didn't know that Miao Chunniang was arranged by her mother to be with Gu Jingnian, so she asked, "Who is this?"

"It's my sister-in-law."

"I've met my sister-in-law."

"Thank you, Princess." As a Yue person, Miao Chunniang had a certain respect for the princess's daughter, but she did not dare to show it openly. She could only bow slightly.

Gu Jingnian took Lu Anran from her arms and asked, "Aren't you going to see your master?"

Miao Chunniang shook her head and whispered, "I don't have a master. You are my only relative in Yongjing."

She insisted on hiding her identity.

Wei Yushi leaned over to look at the child in Gu Jingnian's arms and said with a smile, "So cute..."

"Wow!"

When Lu Anran met Wei Yushi's tender and bright eyes, she suddenly burst into tears and leaned sideways into Gu Jingnian's arms, seeming to dislike this aunt very much.

Miao Chunniang then took the child back and said, "You two can chat, I'll take her to feed her."

Wei Yushi felt very lost.

Gu Jingnian was about to comfort her, but she glanced at him and said, "Brother, you don't have to say those words. I'm fine."

"Hmm? Can you tell what I'm thinking?"

"A little bit." Wei Yushi pinched her fingers and said, "I practiced hard, and it worked."

"sharp."

"Brother..."

Wei Yushi seems to be hesitant to speak.

Gu Jingnian asked, "What's wrong?"

"My mother is against alchemy just like my brother." Wei Yushi said, "Her country was destroyed because of the evil of alchemy, and she suffered greatly from it. But in recent years, she has figured out one thing."

"what?"

"The evil of alchemy is that it harms lives, using the lives of thousands of people to serve one person. But if there is an alchemy that does not harm lives, after obtaining it, if you practice diligently, you can turn harm into benefit."

"It seems that the Princess of Yue wants you to teach me?"

Wei Yushi suddenly panicked and said hurriedly, "No, no, mother said that my brother is always persecuted by bad guys. It would be too stupid to defeat the bad guys without using their methods. She said that we should distinguish right from wrong and not go to extremes... I don't know if it's right."

Gu Jingnian said, "That's true, but the temptation to steal supernatural powers from others is too great. It's easy to be unable to resist once you make a small request."

Halfway through his words, he realized that there was no need to argue with Wei Li, so he simply asked, "What is the purpose of your mother saying this?"

"She heard that the Crown Prince of Yong wanted to ban alchemy and thought that this idea was too strong. She wanted my brother to persuade the Crown Prince."

"What about you? What do you think?"

Wei Yushi whispered, “I finally got supernatural powers, and I didn’t refine others, but I don’t know if this is also a refining technique.”

Gu Jingnian probably understood Wei Li's intention. Whether it was sending Miao Chunniang to be by his side or letting Wei Yushi be a lobbyist, it was nothing more than trying to win him over to deal with Rui State together.

But he had no intention of participating.

At least not at the moment.

--------

The next day, Gu Jingnian went to the palace to meet Yin Yuhe and briefly recounted his experience living in Saicheng.

As Yin Yuhe listened, a more amiable smile appeared on his face. He was about to encourage him and give rewards to him and Gu Jize.

The next moment, Gu Jingnian made a direct request.

"I heard that there is a severe drought in the southwest, and the Crown Prince is going on a tour because of this. Please allow me to go and help the Crown Prince."

As soon as these words were uttered, the atmosphere in the hall froze for a moment, and it was extremely awkward.

Anyone with a little experience in officialdom knows that in such circumstances, asking the current emperor to assist the Eastern Palace is the biggest taboo of all.

Fortunately, Yin Yuhe did not take it to heart. He laughed loudly upon hearing this and clapped his knees, saying, "What a pure heart! It shows that you young people have deep friendships. It's rare, really rare."

No one could tell that he was unhappy at all.

It seems that the threat posed by the Eastern Palace to the throne only exists in the prejudice of others.

Gu Jingnian didn't care about these and said, "I beg Your Majesty to agree."

Yin Yuhe stroked his beard and sighed in his heart. Thinking of Wei Li's arrangements, he nodded and said, "Okay, as long as Marquis Chengye doesn't mind the hardship of traveling, I will allow you to go to the southwest..."
