Chapter 371: Too many twists and turns this night
A silent silence suddenly spread in the hall.
The open temple door could not block the cold night wind, and the smell of kerosene suddenly became extremely clear in the silence.
Lu Xinran pinched Song Junyan's fingers, silently asking if everything was really arranged?
If Zhong Rui had really been waiting outside the city and was willing to obey their orders, where did this pungent smell of kerosene come from?
Song Junyan squeezed her hand back and shook his head slightly at the look she gave him.
Today's game is also a gamble for him.
Betting on Zhang Yongping's thoughts and Zhong Rui's ambitions.
If you lose the bet... then you lose.
Time is so short that no one has time to make thorough preparations.
Yunsong stood at the door of the store, looking at the stars in the sky, and murmured softly, "The night sky tonight is worthy of my life."
He was a weak baby who was almost drowned and was born in a poor farming family, but he has walked step by step to where he is today. His life is quite wonderful.
The history books of later generations would slander him to the utmost, but he was confident that he would leave a strong mark on his reputation.
That's enough.
"Duke Zhenguo, this world... don't you covet it? Become the best of the best, and from now on no one can threaten you and your family."
Zhang Yongping remained silent, maintaining the posture of blocking the queen behind him without moving.
Yunsong was not surprised by his silence, and continued, "Even if you don't want to, what about Zhong Rui? Do you think the wolf king who grew up outside the Great Wall will let someone put a rope around his neck again?"
He suddenly turned around and raised his hand to point at the queen whose half body was blocked.
"As an emperor, you can get everything you want without the need for promises or charity from others. You don't understand this feeling, but he does."
So, he won't lose.
The person he chooses to take over Da Chu will definitely not disappoint him.
Zhang Yongping remained motionless, while Lu Xinran quickly flipped through the booklets of several people. At this moment, she was unusually calm.
Zhong Rui is indeed a wolf raised outside the Great Wall. He is fierce and wise, and will do anything to achieve his goals.
He could give up Yuchengguan without mercy just to see the queen, and he would definitely not miss the chance to gain the whole world and the queen.
All she cares about now is whether she and the people she cares about can still live in peace if the world eventually changes hands.
Listening to her whispered thoughts, Song Junyan pinched her fingers and looked down at her.
Would she blame him if they were to end up as prisoners?
Lu Xinran looked up and smiled at him. She had no idea how she felt about him now. They had only been married for a few months and were far from being together through life and death.
But at this moment she just wanted to stay by his side. No matter what the outcome would be in the future, as long as they could still be together it was enough.
Yunsong rolled his eyes at them both with disdain. Even at this moment, the two of them were still looking at each other lovingly. Should he applaud them for being calm and sincere, or promise them that he could accompany them on the road to the underworld?
He withdrew his gaze and looked outside the hall again.
"Did you hear the fighting outside? Guess where Zhong Rui is attacking now?"
Lu Xinran snuggled up to Song Junyan, and at this moment they still only had each other in their eyes.
They have done everything they can and left the rest to fate.
Zhang Yongping still kept his head down and eyes closed without moving, but the queen behind him suddenly moved out and walked towards the palace door step by step.
"The Zhang family is indeed a family that can produce a queen," Yunsong continued without turning his head as he heard footsteps coming from behind him, "Do you think Zhong Rui will anoint you as the queen after he ascends the throne?"
"will not."
The Queen replied with absolute certainty.
"Oh?" Yunsong turned sideways playfully and asked seriously, "Do you not trust him, or do you think you are a fallen woman and unworthy of him?"
The queen ignored the provocation in his words, smelled the increasingly strong smell of kerosene in the air, and replied lightly.
"Do you want to know the result so much?"
She suddenly moved, took a few steps to Yunsong's side and clamped her hands around his neck.
"But I'm not a kind person. What if I don't want you to see the final result?"
Yunsong's veins popped out on his head from being pinched by her. He raised his hand and slapped the back of her hand, but he couldn't make her release her grip.
The queen pressed her fingers harder and harder, and a fierce look flashed across her eyes. Yunsong could not be kept any longer!
"Let him go."
Zhang Yongping had walked to the Queen's side without her knowing, and his big hands rested on her shoulders to relieve the force from her hands.
The queen looked at him blankly: "Why?"
"No reason." Zhang Yongping supported Yunsong, his big hand fell on his back, helping him to regulate his breathing: "Don't you think...what he just said makes sense?"
Only by standing at the highest point can the Zhang family escape the fate of being clamped down on everywhere and feared every day.
Since their ancestors were wrong, they should not have just prayed for peace in the world and forgotten that the lives of their descendants would be held in the hands of others.
Then we should start to restore order from his generation, so that the Zhang family will no longer be at the mercy of others.
Yunsong laughed and clapped his hands: "Wonderful, really wonderful."
All the twists and turns that night made him extremely excited.
He knew that in the midst of absolute power and temptation, no one could remain true to themselves and not be tempted.
That’s the throne, above everyone else.
If his body wasn't too damaged and he couldn't hold on for much longer, how could he be willing to give up the world to others!
"I have no problem with whoever becomes emperor, as long as it's not that bastard's son who becomes emperor."
He laughed loudly, and while speaking he turned around and looked at Song Junyan provocatively.
Song Junyan's gaze was still on Lu Xinran's cheek. His heart had never been so close to hers.
Only then did he realize that she was more important to him than the throne.
Yunsong withdrew his gaze with disgust and inexplicable irritation. These two guys are useless!
I knew that all the offspring of that bastard were ugly.
The queen looked at Zhang Yongping in disbelief. She had imagined this result before, but in her mind, her father should not be like this.
“Is it hard to accept?” Yunsong no longer paid attention to the two people who exuded a certain disgusting aura, and all his evil thoughts came out and were directed at the queen: “As a man, power, wealth, and women, no one can refuse them.
"Your father is just an ordinary man who couldn't refuse. How could he not be tempted by the throne that was within his reach?
"But you, don't you want to be the queen? Zhong Rui is a dog, if you want his heart, he would probably dig it out for you, and he would definitely be willing to give up a mere throne.
"Do you want to be the queen? And have a taste of being submitted to? From now on, no one will dare to despise you or laugh at you. Everyone will kneel at your feet and wish they could lick the soles of your feet with their tongues.
"Isn't this much more interesting than the so-called freedom? Freedom..."
He sneered and pointed at the empty square: "You still have to rely on others. This is the most ridiculous thing."
