As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 75: Sworn Brotherhood... means dying on the same day of the same month of the same year

So Ling Yu is a person of faith.

Life and death were not her first options.

Her soul wouldn't let her do nothing, even if there was the slightest possibility.

Mingchen also restrained his frivolous smile and simply asked Ling Yu, "Brother, you are not sure, but have you ever thought about the consequences of defeat? Are you able to bear such heavy responsibilities?"

Ling Yu paused.
Mingchen continued, "Border soldiers are one of our country's reliances in negotiations. The lives of border soldiers are the guarantee of our dynasty, the backbone of our dynasty. If we lose them, how many years will it take to recover?"

"Seeking peace now does not mean seeking peace later."

"Preserving our vitality does not mean being cowardly."

"If we suffer a crushing defeat, can you bear the responsibility for the lives of millions?"

This war is very dirty. Qianyuan has already lost the initiative and will not gain anything by continuing to fight.

It's a thankless task.

Mingchen is not a war advocate.

He is a realist and doesn't like to take risks without any guarantee.

Of course, this is from Ling Yu's perspective. From his own perspective, he actually doesn't care about all this.

It doesn't matter whether we fight or make peace.

"Brother, are you trying to persuade me not to fight?"

Ling Yu clenched his fists and looked up at Mingchen.

Mingchen shook his head gently: "I'm not trying to persuade you, I just hope you can think everything through before making a decision."

Everyone is happy if they win.

But if he fails, Ling Yu is afraid that he will fall into the bottomless abyss.

"I've thought it through!"

Although the chance of victory is slim, it is equally difficult to suffer a crushing defeat.

Jedi need more courage to resist.

No one fights to fail.

The northern border is in danger. Ling Yu is confident and thinks she is stronger than the generals currently guarding the border.

When it comes to war, watching it from a distance is different from being there in person.

Even if she was not sure, she still wanted to go to the battlefield to take a look.

She wouldn't act rashly. If there really wasn't another chance, at least before the peace talks, she wouldn't let the soldiers die in vain.

She looked into Mingchen's eyes and said persistently, "I can take on everything."

"Good~"

Looking at the woman with eyes full of determination, Mingchen also smiled and raised his glass.

Once you have made up your mind, don't say anything more: "Then I, your foolish brother, wish you a triumphant return."

Maybe she really has the power to create miracles?
Win or lose, she is a hero.

A hero is someone who dares to do things that ordinary people cannot do and dares to take on responsibilities that ordinary people cannot take on.

Perhaps this person could bring more bargaining chips to his negotiations.

"Hahaha~"

"Okay! When I return victorious, you must treat me to a drink~"

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

The wine glasses clinked together, and the wine rippled, carrying the wishes of the high-spirited and stubborn people.

The day when the results are announced, the day when fate changes, everyone is excited.

Countless people were spying on the unfamiliar names Mingchen and Lingyu.

Time passed by unknowingly, the sun set in the west, and the sunset glowed slightly red.

The lazy cat was sleeping soundly by the window, but the protagonist that people were talking about was still sitting here, clinking glasses and talking about his endless longing.

When drinking with a good friend, a thousand cups are never enough. Ling Yu didn't know how much he had drunk. His cheeks were flushed, but he was still not drunk, just in a slightly tipsy state.

Mingchen really fulfilled her wish, giving her enough good wine and making her drunk.

If the world is peaceful in the future, she and Mingchen can stay like this every day...that would be great.

"Brother, have you forgotten something?"

Mingchen didn't like drinking and didn't drink much.

As the time grew late, the room became dim. He seemed to remember something and asked Ling Yu.

Ling Yu shuddered when he heard this, and seemed to sober up.

Looking at the bright and handsome man in front of her, her eyes flickered slightly and she shook her head, looking a little confused, as if she was drunk: "Ah? What did you forget?" "Brother, didn't you want to become sworn sisters with me?"

As agreed last time,

When we meet again, we will become sworn brothers.

Mingchen didn't seem to mind that Lingyu was a girl.

"Oh... yes, yes, yes~"

Ling Yu nodded suddenly.

Become sworn brothers...become sworn brothers...

Two months ago, she really wanted to become sworn brothers with this man and establish a more trusting and reliable relationship.

Being brothers with different surnames is the closest and most unbetrayable relationship she can think of.

But now she doesn't think about it much.

Gender doesn't matter.

It’s just a sworn brotherhood... and you have to die on the same day of the same month of the same year.

She raised her head and looked at the person in front of her in a drunken state. Looking at her own reflection in the other person's eyes, she smiled unconsciously.

Her eyes were stained with a hazy water color, her pretty face was flushed, and she was unaware of her beauty.

"Hey, brother, I've had a little too much to drink. It's not appropriate anymore."

"How about we get married some other day?"

The person who kept his promise no longer wants to keep it.

Or wait until she returns from the battlefield...

……

The next day, the sun rose as usual.
Ling Yu did not become sworn brothers with Ming Chen in the end. She said she had something to do and left in a hurry.

He missed me so much, but he left so easily.

Mingchen also let the other party leave. Everyone was free and they would meet again.

The sun is shining, the breeze is gentle,
Mingchen stood by the window, quietly looking at the scabbard in his hand.

I don't know what material it is made of, but it is not heavy. The scabbard is engraved with an unknown auspicious beast pattern.

Although the hilt has been worn smooth after being used many times, it must have been well maintained and cherished by the owner, as there is no damage to the hilt or scabbard at all.

"Click~"

He drew out a sword, and the sword reflected the sunlight, shining coldly and brightly.

This is Ling Yu's sword. A weapon is a warrior's life. From the first time he met the other party, he never left this sword.

But this time before she left, she gave it to Mingchen.

"Bangbang~"

Just then, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"Boss, let me help you clean up the room."

The waiter stood outside the door and asked Mingchen.

At this point, Mingchen also enjoyed the feeling of being a master.

Someone takes care of your food and drink.

The room was also cleaned.

"Come in~"

He waved at the other party.

"Yes……"

The waiter came in and skillfully cleaned Mingchen's room.

But this time, his eyes were particularly focused, as if he was looking for something.

"San'er, have you been doing too much work in the restaurant lately? Are you tired?"

Suddenly, Mingchen's casual question came from the window.

The guy who was concentrating on cleaning suddenly shuddered.

Their shopkeeper is mysterious and his background is hard to find, so the people in the restaurant are still in awe of him.

"No... I'm not tired. I had a lot of free time yesterday..."

He stuttered, raised the corners of his lips, tried to act as usual, and replied to Mingchen with a dry laugh.

"Yeah~"

Mingchen didn't seem to be looking at the cleaning guy. He just looked at the sword in his hand and said, "Our business is booming. You've worked hard and made a lot of money... When you get paid at the end of the month, I'll give you a 30% increase."
