Chapter 299: A Tough Guy with a Soft Heart

"So you just acted on your own?" Rong Yu said in a cold and hard voice, "Did you get my consent?"

Xuanyuan Yao lay on the pillow, his sweaty fingers unconsciously grasping the quilt, the severe pain made his voice a little unstable: "If the master is still angry, wait until my injury is better, and then I will beat him up."

Rong Yu didn't say anything, his noble and handsome face was as cold as if covered with a thin layer of frost.

Xuanyuan Yao was very afraid of him. Although he was very courageous when he provoked him on the training ground just now, he wanted to faint directly at this time. Unfortunately, this idea was probably impossible to realize, so he could only put on the most sincere attitude to apologize: "I... I know I was wrong, and I will not deliberately provoke the master again in the future."

Rong Yu didn't say anything.

He was not a talkative person. At this time, he only focused on applying medicine to him. Compared with the cautious movements for fear of hurting the military doctor of the prince, the process of applying medicine was undoubtedly another torture for Xuanyuan Yao. But even if he was shaking with pain, Xuanyuan Yao would never dare to ask him to be gentler.

After the ointment was applied to the swollen wounds, Rong Yu said calmly: "Ling Fan was punished because of you. You have time to apologize to him."

Xuanyuan Yao was exhausted from the pain and responded half a beat later: "Yes."

"Don't bother with other things. I know what to do in Dongling. I don't need you to suffer flesh and blood." Rong Yu stood up, waited for the ointment to dry, and pulled the quilt over him. "If you dare to be smart again, be prepared to stay in bed for a year to recuperate."

Recruitment for a year?

Xuanyuan Yao was nervous and didn't dare to answer. Instead, he gently wiped the sweat from his face and turned to look at him: "My Lord, do you really plan to stay in Dongling in the future?"

"What?"

Xuanyuan Yao lowered his eyes: "Is it worth giving up such a big country for a woman?"

The vast land of the Great Zhou is like a painting. How many people have tried their best and even stepped on countless corpses to get that position? He actually said to give up?

"Whether it is worth it or not is my business, not yours." Rong Yu said indifferently, "Xi'er will become the queen of Dongling, and the king you will be loyal to in the future. If you dare to have any other thoughts, I will not let you off easily."

Xuanyuan Yao was silent for a moment, and said very cleverly: "With the master here, even if I have two courages, I dare not have other thoughts."

Rong Yu turned and walked out.

"Master." Xuanyuan Yao raised his head slightly and said seriously, "The royal family of Dongling was forced to let Princess Feng ascend the throne because of the choice of the priest hall, so as not to let Dongling participate in the world's disputes. But the master should know that the situation in various countries has become tense, and the peace that has been maintained for hundreds of years is about to be broken. Now the kings of various countries can no longer suppress their ambitions. Even if Dongling is unwilling to participate in the world's disputes, it does not mean that other ambitious countries will let Dongling stay out of it."

Rong Yu was silent, with a cold and distant expression.

"Princess Feng is a woman with a gentle and generous temperament. It is completely fine for her to be a wise ruler loved by the people when the world is peaceful. But if there is a war, Princess Feng does not have the courage to conquer the world-"

"This is not something you should worry about." Rong Yu interrupted him coldly, "It is your duty to abide by your duties and be loyal to the queen. This is your responsibility. The king will make arrangements for other matters."

Xuanyuan Yao pursed his lips, as if he had to get an answer: "If Dongling is forced to fight, what will the master choose?"

"Dongling will not." Rong Yu said, "No one dares to send troops to Dongling. If there is, there is only one way to die."

After saying this, he walked out, obviously not interested in chatting with him anymore.

Xuanyuan Yao quietly lay back on the pillow and couldn't help sighing.

Tough guy with tender feelings.

It is really frustrating that the iron-boned god of war has become a softie.

Wouldn't it be good to be the emperor of all ages who is admired by the people?

With Rong Yu's legendary ability to conquer the battlefield, the powerful military force of the Great Zhou, and the loyal ministers and generals around him, it is only a matter of time to recover the territories of all countries in the world and create a powerful empire.

If there is still one person in the world who can conquer the world and unify the world, it is only Rong Yu, no one else.

What a great ambition, what a great feat that makes people's blood boil.

Why must he hang himself on a woman?

Xuanyuan Yao was depressed.

"My Lord?" The guard came in and knelt on one knee beside the bed, "Is the Regent of the Great Zhou not against you?"

Xuanyuan Yao said indifferently: "No."

The guard breathed a sigh of relief: "My Lord, do you want some water?"

"No."

"Then..."

"Don't make noise." Xuanyuan Yao closed his eyes, "Let me be quiet for a while."

"Yes."

Rong Yu walked out of the barracks and got on Nan Xi's carriage. Yin Yue and Yin Shuang were sitting outside the carriage. Seeing Rong Yu, they saluted respectfully and then lifted the curtain for him.

The carriage was very large and spacious. Nan Xi was sitting alone in the carriage reading a book. When she saw Rong Yu coming in, she smiled and put the book aside.

Yin Yue lowered the curtain and started driving the carriage back to the palace.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Rong Yu sat over and held her in his arms, then lowered his head and kissed her face, "It's cold, don't go out alone in the future."

"Not alone." Nan Xi smiled, "General Chu is with me."

"That won't work either." Rong Yu was dissatisfied, "What if I get into danger?"

Nan Xi nodded obediently: "Okay, I'll try my best."

Rong Yu bit her white ear: "But today's situation is special, it's good to come, just take this opportunity to establish your authority."

"Rong Yu." Nan Xi raised her eyebrows, and looked at him with a pair of bright eyes. "Is the Prince of Huainan an old acquaintance of yours?"

Rong Yu raised the corner of his mouth: "Why do you ask that?"

"I have eyes to see, and a brain to think." She smiled lightly, "If he really deliberately provoked and was hostile to the soldiers of the Great Zhou, Xuanyuan Yao would not have such an attitude. Even if he really wanted to accept defeat, he should be angry and disdainful, not so... obedient."

Yes.

When she saw the young man in white robes for the first time, she noticed that his face did not have the expression of a deliberate provocation, and Rong Yu's words "Xuanyuan Yao, meet Princess Feng" sounded more like an order, a very natural order.

What was Xuanyuan Yao's attitude after hearing this order?

He was not rebellious, not unhappy, but just knelt down respectfully and saluted, without even saying a word of dissatisfaction, and was extremely humble from beginning to end. How could this be the attitude of a deliberate provocation?
