Chapter 128 Four Years of Planning
Yan Li's hand holding the tea cup tightened slightly and she closed her eyes in silence.
If someone were so enamored with her, if she were an ordinary woman, she would be so moved that she would wish she could immediately commit herself to him and repay him with a love as deep as the sea, which would last until death.
But when things happened to her and Mu Cang, what needed to be considered was far from the personal relationship between their children, but the two countries' societies.
Yan Li had to think deeply, was Mu Cang already fully prepared and waiting to leave at any time?
Just because of her?
Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, Yan Li sipped her tea silently, and slowly said, "How long have you had this thought in your heart?"
Mu Cang said: "Four years of planning and planning, now everything is ready."
Yan Li frowned: "Four years?"
Mu Cang nodded calmly, with a calm expression: "Yes."
"Mu Cang." Yan Li looked up at his angular profile and spoke carefully, "Although I don't know what makes you so persistent, you should know that the marriage between the two countries is no child's play. It is impossible for the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty to just sit back and watch. in spite of."
The people in power in various countries almost unanimously believe that those who are not of my race must have different minds.
Mu Cang is the God of War of the Mu Kingdom. His identity and abilities are enough to make the kings and dignitaries of any country fear him.
Even the powerful Southern Kingdom could not completely ignore his existence - especially after he gave up his identity as the ninth prince of the Mu Kingdom and entered the Southern Kingdom alone.
The southern ministers would only think that he had evil intentions.
If you think about it further - even if one day they become a legitimate couple, the powerful officials and major families of the Southern Kingdom will not easily accept the fact that he has become the royal family of the Southern Kingdom.
There are many obstacles between them, which cannot be solved by simply giving up their identities.
"I know." Mu Cang's tone was calm and calm, looking like he was strategizing, "But these are not problems."
Yan Li was silent, then nodded slowly.
Yes, the problems she could think of were impossible for the resourceful Mu Cang to think of.
So in his comprehensive plan, he already had a countermeasure?
"I can guarantee that I don't have any evil intentions." Mu Cang didn't want her to be suspicious, so he took the initiative to explain, "I said before that I will let you know everything after we get married, and there will be no hiding anything."
When Yan Li heard this, he unexpectedly thought of the question he had asked him last time.
Mu Cang has an unusually keen sense of the appearance of the four Tianshu people. Is his intelligence really powerful enough to control other countries' shadow guards?
There were too many unanswered questions in my heart, but because of Mu Cang's promise, it would be against morality to ask at this time.
Yan Li frowned, feeling a rare irritability in her heart.
She couldn't even pinpoint the cause of her irritation.
Because you can't bear to reject Mu Cang? Not good at the relationship between men and women? Or are you troubled by the current dilemma?
Yan Li couldn't explain clearly, but only vaguely realized that maybe since she provoked Mu Cang, the two of them were destined to be entangled for a lifetime.
Brushing away the thoughts in her mind, she relaxed her body and leaned on the soft couch, and simply changed the topic: "Can the Ninth Prince become the second Ninth Prince?"
"You don't have to be the second one." Mu Cang raised his lips slightly, and his expression became more relaxed. "Every general has his own way of leading troops and fighting methods. As long as he can protect the stability of his family and country and block the enemy's soldiers, Ma is a qualified general."
Yan Li raised her eyes slightly: "Aren't you going to take him in person?"
Mu Cang's expression paused slightly, a strange color flashed across his eyes, and the smile on his lips became a little warmer: "I have always felt that we are the two most compatible people in the world."
Yan Li said delicately: "..."
Mu Cang's eyes were deep and locked on Yan Li's brows.
Even though this face was completely different from the one he admired, the character and demeanor between his brows were exactly the same.
Mu Cang is not a person who ignores the overall situation for the sake of his children's personal relationship, but there is absolutely no other person in the world who can make him willing to sacrifice everything just to know each other for the rest of his life.
"Mucang." Yan Li spoke out of confusion, "Pay attention to your image and majesty as the God of War."
Mu Cang laughed, and his stern eyebrows suddenly seemed to have melted away, and they were instantly dyed with boundless elegance and incomparable beauty.
Yan Li's eyes flashed slightly, and his expression was absent-minded for a moment.
"No matter how strong and indifferent a person is, once he meets a woman who falls in love with him, he is willing to surrender." Mu Cang's voice was low, "Emotions can change people beyond recognition, and no one is an exception."
What is dignity?
On the battlefield, he is unsmiling and intimidating, and maintains the cold image and majesty of the God of War in front of his subordinates. The purpose is to strictly enforce military discipline, clean up the military style, and make his subordinates sincerely obey orders.
In front of the one you love, dignity is the most useless thing.
"I have learned so many things from childhood to college." Yan Li gently closed her eyes, "playing chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, tea, martial arts, strategy, and imperial arts, but I have never been exposed to the love between men and women."
Mu Cang's voice was gentle: "It doesn't matter. I don't ask you to have a deep love for me, or even a lot of response from you, as long as you are willing to give me a chance."
Her responsibility is to the country, the country, the country, the country and the country.
What she has to do is to be responsible to the people of the world.
Then he would stand behind her, protect her well, and be her strongest backing.
"There is one more question." Yan Li spoke hesitantly, as if he spoke after careful consideration, "My identity is destined to prevent us from being together for the rest of our lives, so..."
So what?
Mu Cang fell silent, and his hand holding the teacup tightened unconsciously.
The emperor must have three palaces and six courtyards.
It's not just for the issue of offspring. After all, she is a woman, and the matter of bearing offspring cannot be done by others.
More importantly, it is to maintain the stability of imperial power.
Since ancient times, the power of the monarch and the power of the ministers are inseparable. The ministers sent their daughters to the palace to serve the emperor, and used the relationship of in-laws to maintain the balance between the emperor's family and the ministers.
The emperor used this method to win over the aristocratic families and make people willing to offer their loyalty.
The ministers used this method to get a little benefit from the emperor.
This is an eternal rule.
"It doesn't matter." Mu Cang's hand holding the teacup loosened slightly, and he said, "If we can't find a win-win solution in the end, I am willing to compromise."
This is a lie, Mu Cang thought.
He can't compromise.
No one knows how much he has planned and laid out for four years, and no one knows how domineering his heart is and how strong his possessiveness is. Tianlai Novel Network

And in those scenes he envisioned, there was no one else except the two of them.
