Chapter 804 My Trust Is Not that Cheap! Sadness Is Useless!
When Ying Chengyun refused the palace night banquet and rushed back home impatiently, Mrs. Han knew that there must be something on Ying Chengyun's mind.
Therefore, Mrs. Han did not summon the guests to welcome Ying Chengyu, nor did she perform the etiquette of welcoming the king's triumphant victory. She just took Mi Tian and the three girls to wait patiently for Ying Chengyu at the gate of the mansion.
So at this moment, the three girls, Mi Tian, didn't feel any shyness at all, and their six little hands were messily pulling at Ying Chenglong's clothes.
"Master, does it hurt?"
"Where is the Lord injured? Call the doctor quickly!"
"Sister, step aside and don't touch the wound again!"
The chirping of Mi Tian's three daughters successfully dispersed Ying Chengyun's sadness, and even made Ying Chengyun feel dumbfounded.
Looking at Ji Wei whose fox eyes were full of tears but stretched out her bare hands to carefully touch her wounds, Ying Chengyu reached out and took Ji Wei into his arms again.
Feeling Ying Chengyu's embrace, Ji Wei's eyes narrowed unconsciously like a cat whose head was rubbed.
But thinking that Ying Chengyu was still injured, Ji Wei wanted to push Ying Chengyu away but was afraid of hurting him, so she could only say at a loss what to do: "Master, be careful! Don't touch the wound!"
However, Ying Chengyu hugged her a little harder and sighed in a soft and gentle voice: "I'm sorry, I have no choice."
All the muscles in Ji Wei's body stiffened, and her eyes, which were already filled with tears, felt like they were bursting with tears!
Ji Wei knew exactly why Ying Chengyu apologized.
It wasn't because Ying Chengyu was seriously injured in this battle that Ji Wei was worried.
It's because Ying Chengyu personally cut off the heads of Ji Wei's two clan uncles and six clan brothers in this battle!
It was also because Ying Chengyu used war to force Ji Wei's eldest brother to death!
It's because Ying Chengyu used his military force to force Ji Wei's father to have to carry thorns on his back to plead guilty to heaven and earth!
If King Yan Xi hadn't sued for peace quickly enough, Ji Wei had no doubt that Ying Chengyu would have even led his army to flatten Ji Wei's hometown and kill Ji Wei almost to the point of annihilation!
But what can Ji Wei do?
Ji Wei's eldest brother wants to kill Ying Chengyu's eldest brother!
On one side is her eldest brother who has loved and cared for her since childhood, and on the other side is the husband she admired before she got married.
Ji Wei couldn't make a choice in her heart, and her strength couldn't support her in making any choice!
Trembling hands gently hugged Ying Chengyu's waist. Ji Wei raised her head. Her pair of naturally charming fox eyes were full of sadness and determination at the moment: "Eldest brother ignored the past friendship between eldest brother and the king, and never cared about the relationship between the eldest brother and the king. Da Qin’s concubine.”
"The moment the eldest brother made the decision to bribe the assassin, the eldest brother had already chosen his fate."
"The moment my father chose to indulge my eldest brother, my father chose Dayan's fate."
"And the moment I stepped into the Chang'an Lord's Mansion, I also chose my fate."
"Although I am the princess of the Yan Kingdom, first of all I am the Lord's little star!"
"No matter what decision the Lord makes, I will support the Lord without any reservation!"
Ji Wei did not have the etiquette ideas of marrying and obeying her husband like Gui Ling.
But Ji Wei knows very well who will grow old together with her, and who will share weal and woe with her!
The death of her eldest brother and the humiliation of her father certainly made Ji Wei miserable.
But if Ying Chengyu died in battle, Ji Wei would be worse off than dead!
After Ying Chengyu was silent for a moment, he touched the top of Ji Wei's head and asked in an increasingly gentle voice: "I remember that you brought a lot of dowry servants and property with you when you married into the Chang'an Lord's Mansion."
"Have you been defeated?"
The topic changed too quickly, and Ji Wei, whose eyes were filled with tears, replied blankly: "How could he be defeated!"
"They can give at least tens of thousands of dollars and many objects to my concubine every year!"
Ying Chengyu nodded slightly: "Then send a message back to Yan State and invite more people to come to Qin to take care of your industry."
Ji Wei: "Ah???"
A pair of fox eyes looked at Ying Chengyu in confusion and confusion, unable to even shed tears.
Lord, isn’t our topic jumping a little too fast?
Upon seeing this, Mi Tian reminded in a low voice: "Sister Ji, try your best to choose honest and reliable clan members who are willing to follow you from the royal family of King Yan!"
"But the number of people should not be too large. Don't make it difficult for the master."
"Why don't you thank your lord for your kindness!"
Unlike Ji Wei who was confused, Mi Tian knew exactly what Ying Chengyu's words meant.
Whether from a legal or conceptual perspective, Ji Wei, as a concubine, has no right to own private property.
The ownership of all the servants, properties and money Ji Wei now owns belongs to Ying Chengyu, but Ying Chengyu has only given Ji Wei the right to use and benefit from it.
The helpers Ji Wei summoned from the Yan Kingdom had no affiliation with Ji Wei in the eyes of outsiders. They were all Ying Chengyu's people!
In other words, Ying Chengyu actually made a promise.
Externally, Ying Chengyu will protect some of the Yan Kingdom's royal children selected by Ji Wei as Lord Chang'an of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Internally, these children of the Yan Kingdom's royal family do not need to be loyal to Ying Chengyu, but only need to obey Ji Wei's orders!
Just twenty-one words, but it means that dozens or hundreds of Ji Wei's tribe will save their lives in troubled times, and it also means that Ji Wei's power will skyrocket!
Ji Wei still couldn't figure it out, but followed Mi Tian's reminder and quickly bowed: "Thank you, Lord!"
Ying Chengyu gently rubbed Ji Wei's head and turned his eyes to Gui Ling.
After a few breaths of silence, Ying Chengyu finally said, "Gui Xiaoxing should also pass on the Feng Family Letter."
"The content is the same as Ji Xiaoxing's."
Gui Ling's pupils shrank suddenly, and she whispered in disbelief: "Could it be that between Qin and Qi..."
Ying Chengqiu didn't say much, just shook his head gently.
Gui Ling's eyes showed some sadness, and she bowed immediately: "Thank you, my lord!"
Ying Chengqiu's eyes turned to Mi Tian again, but saw Mi Tian smiled and shook her head: "No need for me."
There will be a war between Qin and Yan, and Ji Wei's father may be chopped off by the lord himself!
There may be a war between Qin and Qi, and Gui Ling's father may also be chopped off by the lord!
But guess what?
The Chu State has long been destroyed!
My father and grandfather have long been captured alive by the lord!
Ying Chengqi smiled and said, "I have never thought of this plan."
"Please ask Mi Xiaoxing to tell Gong Dafu Po (Jingpo) that I am busy with affairs."
"When the families of Ji Xiaoxing and Gui Xiaoxing arrive, Gong Dafu Po will entertain and settle them on my behalf."
Although Ji Wei and Gui Ling must have been royal descendants, if their own abilities were not outstanding, they would not be worthy of being personally greeted by Madam Han or Ying Chengqi.
As a minister of the Chang'an Junfu, the patriarch of the Jing family, and the father of Xiaoxing in the mansion, Jingpo's identity and status are just right for arranging the relatives of Ji Wei and Gui Ling.
Mi Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, and she bowed without hesitation and said, "My father will definitely obey your order!"
There is no doubt that Ying Chengqi's arrangement has subtly raised Mi Tian's status!
Mi Tian knew that such a straightforward agreement would let Ying Chengqiu know her ambition, and Mi Tian was never reluctant to expose her ambition in front of Ying Chengqiu!
Ying Chengqiu smiled and nodded: "Very good!"
He patted Gui Ling and Mi Tian's heads again, turned around, and ordered in a complicated voice: "Follow me to send all the comrades to rest first!"
Under the escort of Ying Chengqiu, Madam Han, Mi Tian's three daughters, Ba Fu Guafu and other family soldiers, the bodies of the family soldiers who died in this battle were temporarily placed in the martial arts field of Chang'an Junfu, waiting to be sent back to their families by Ying Chengqiu himself.
Ying Chengqiu even personally took action and built a solid military tent for the coffin with the surviving family soldiers.
After preparations were completed, the surviving family soldiers went back to their homes, and Mi Tian's three daughters also returned to the courtyard.
Ying Chengjiao followed Madam Han back to the study.
"It smells so good!"
Feeling the touch of his teeth cutting the beef fibers and the aroma of the beef, Ying Chengjiao couldn't help but give a satisfied compliment.
Madam Han asked with a smile: "Are you recovering?"
Madam Han felt sorry for Ying Chengjiao, but she also knew that more than two million dead souls could not overwhelm Ying Chengjiao.
Otherwise, Ying Chengjiao would have died on the battlefield with his soldiers because of his fear of the soldiers' continued sacrifice!
He just unconsciously let down his guard after returning home, and the grievances and torment that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time burst out all at once.
Just like some iron-blooded tough guys who are covered in wounds but can still fight the enemy with a hideous face, they may cry and scream because their fingers are broken - just because their mothers or wives are by their side.
Who is not a baby?
Now Ying Chengjiao no longer needs to be relieved. He just needs a vent and some concern. He will lick the wounds on his body by himself.
As expected, Ying Chengjiao picked up another piece of beef with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He laughed and said, "I'm relieved."
"I made my mother worried."
Mrs. Han smiled and nodded, "In this case, I'm relieved."
Feeling the comfort and relief in Mrs. Han's tone, Ying Chengjiao said seriously, "If my mother is not in the mansion today, I will definitely hang high flags, wear gorgeous clothes, and go home with hairpins and drums after the night banquet in the palace."
"Then gather all the guests to celebrate the triumph!"
"There are tens of thousands of people in Chang'an Junfu and Chang'an Palace, but only my mother and I depend on each other!"
For people of Ying Chengjiao's status, trust and marriage are two unrelated lines, and trust and love are also two unrelated emotions.
For Ying Chengjiao, who grew up in the deep palace, trust is a rare luxury.
In Ying Chengjiao's heart, the only person he can trust wholeheartedly and without reservation is Madam Han!
Even Ying Zheng has to rank behind Madam Han.
And on par with Ying Zheng are Ba Fu, Gua Fu and other family soldiers who are willing to protect him with their lives, and then Su Jiao, Peng Yue and other comrades who help each other and trust each other in life and death on the battlefield.
Because Mi Tian's family interests are deeply tied to Chang'an Junfu, her trust in Ying Chengjiao's heart can be ranked in the fourth echelon, on par with Zhang Liang and others.
As for Ji Wei and Gui Ling, they can only be ranked in the sixth or even seventh echelon!
The fundamental reason why Ying Chengjiao can sleep soundly beside Mi Tian's three daughters has nothing to do with Mi Tian's three daughters themselves, but only because Madam Han is sitting in Chang'an Junfu on behalf of Ying Chengjiao!
Want Mi Tian's three daughters to replace Madam Han's position in Ying Chengjiao's life?
At least for the time being, it is impossible!
Mrs. Han's eyes were filled with heartache and relief: "I thought that I was not the only one who could comfort my son!"
"But I never thought..."
"My son is worthy of the position of a lord, but such a life is too boring!"
"I have observed the three little stars for several years, and the three little stars are worthy of my trust."
Ying Chengjiao shook his head gently: "The three little stars really touched me and made me happy."
"But it is still too early to talk about trust."
"The reason why I am no longer so sad is not only because of the comfort of the three little stars, but also because I have figured out a truth."
Mrs. Han leaned forward slightly and asked with concern: "What is the truth?"
Ying Chengqiao put down his chopsticks and said in a faint voice, "For those who have passed away."
"Sorrow is useless!"
"For those who are still alive."
"Sorrow only creates ties!"
