Ye Shuiyao's reaction subverted the answer in Ye Nu's heart, and also made him feel a little shocked. He found that his care and understanding of her these years is really too little, but he is destined not to entangle with her on this issue. It will be a little less guilty, and it will be easier for her to agree.
Ye Nu nodded, and finally forced himself to talk about today's topic: "Grandpa... I have something to tell you today." He looked at Ye Shuiyao, and said calmly: "Now in the entire Tianchen Continent, whoever mentions our Ye Everyone will praise loyalty and bravery. But how many people know that our Ye family was originally just a nest of robbers more than a hundred years ago. Later, my grandfather’s grandfather encountered a catastrophe and met the then Emperor Wenzheng by chance. The whole family was rescued by Emperor Wenzheng. Although he was a bandit, he was a man of love and righteousness. After being rescued, he swore to be loyal to Emperor Wenzheng and the Long family for life... The current Ye family also started from that time, and never Rapid accumulation and development. He told his descendants that if there was no Long family, he would have died long ago, and the Ye family would have cut off their bloodlines long ago. My Ye family must keep this kindness in mind and guard the Long family and Tianlong Kingdom forever."
"My grandfather's grandfather is right. If there is no Long family, he is dead, and there will be no me, no you and Chen'er. The Ye family can have what it is today, although it is the accumulation of generations, but there is nothing It is not an exaggeration to say that all of this was endowed by the Long family. Therefore, the Ye family has never forgotten loyalty no matter what generation it is. In resisting foreign enemies, our Ye family men always rush to the forefront without fear of death. Build the most solid line of defense, and the daughters of the Ye family are equally unyielding... Each of them has been recorded in the annals of Tianlong, writing the glory of my Ye family."
Ye Shuiyao listened quietly, feeling confused and restless.
"Twenty years later, the Great Wind Nation once again invaded, trying to get my hands on the Tianlong Nation. Your father and I went to the battlefield together. On the battlefield, we completely forgot about life and death. In the battles of disparity in strength, every battle was fought. It was extremely difficult, but fortunately, God favored me in Tianlong Kingdom, and every time the danger was extremely dangerous, there would always be unexpected miracles. Finally, we won, and the Great Wind Kingdom had to retreat. The battle lasted for a year The Great Wind Nation was severely depleted, and my Tianlong Nation was seriously injured. So far, it has not fully recovered. And the Gale Nation... should have recovered seven or eighty-eight times ten years ago. However, the defeated Gale Nation has not. Restless again, but waiting for an opportunity, the most appropriate opportunity... "
Ye Nu let out a long sigh, and said heavily: "The timing...is now."
Ye Shuiyao: "..."
"Kuishui Kingdom, which originally held the Great Wind Nation together with me, Tianlong, and Cang Lan, suddenly fell to the Great Wind Nation without warning. Although this news cannot be completely confirmed, at least seven of them are true. If it is true, then put aside all other The factors that are unfavorable to our Tianlong Kingdom, just this one is enough to easily put our Tianlong Kingdom into a desperate situation. The loss of Kuishui is equivalent to half of our defense line has collapsed before the war. We have just received this news , there is no time to prepare countermeasures by being caught off guard. If we go to war at this time, our Tianlong Kingdom will surely fall into the most difficult and dangerous situation in the past hundreds of years, and the possibility of victory is very small... Even if we can resist it in the end, the price will inevitably be extremely high. Tragic. At that time, they may have invaded the interior of Tianlong Kingdom, and I don't know how they have trampled Tianlong Kingdom."
"What do you want me to do?" Ye Shuiyao interrupted him and said in a cold voice.
Ye Shuiyao can infer from all kinds of signs that her family, the loyal Long family for generations, wants to misbehave with the Ye family, she is naturally extremely intelligent, and this is the fundamental reason why she is disheartened and does not want to be contaminated by the world. When Ye Nu said this, how could she fail to understand that Ye Nu must ask her for something, and wanted her to do a big thing that even his grandfather would hardly talk about.
Facing her gaze, Ye Nu turned his eyes away a little, and subconsciously didn't dare to touch her directly. He didn't owe anyone in his life, but he was destined to owe this granddaughter whom he rarely cared about for the rest of his life. "And... fortunately, God still favors me in Tianlong Kingdom, and gave us a chance to temporarily eliminate this catastrophe... and the key to this opportunity is tied to you."
Ye Shuiyao's whole body tensed up, and her hands and feet were instantly cold. Opportunity... An opportunity tied to a woman who seldom even leaves the house, what else can there be except marriage!
She thought of the strange man with extraordinary temperament yesterday, although she just glanced at him lightly, she remembered his eyes at that time, fanatical, obsessed, shocked... She had seen this kind of eyes too many times, and it was something she never wanted One of the reasons for going out was that she was aware of her charm, but she hated when a man looked at him like this. Except for Ye Wuchen, every time he looked at her, he would show different amazement and admiration. Instead of rejecting her, she enjoyed the feeling of being looked at by him with this kind of gaze. Maybe it was in this gaze that her The heart fell into a dangerous abyss step by step.
Ye Nu saw the drastic change in her expression at that moment, knowing that she had already guessed something, and then said: "The young man who came here yesterday is the Prince Fengling of Dafeng Nation. He came to Tianlong Nation to replace him. Father came to fight, but after seeing you yesterday, he changed his mind and said bluntly that if you were betrothed to him, he would be sure to delay the imminent war for five years... The peace of the year also determines the fate of my Tianlong Kingdom!"
Ye Shuiyao bit her lower lip tightly, her body swayed slightly, and she was on the verge of falling. She is not comparable to ordinary daughters. In normal times, no matter what family, even the prince and grandson, she would refuse without mercy. But at this time, she can't afford to refuse... the fate of a person, and the fate of a country, even if she doesn't want it in every possible way, so what, is there really a choice? The Ye family has never been bullied by others, but now Ye Nu personally persuades her to surrender to Dafeng Guofu, whom she has always hated... Not only her, no one has a choice.
But if there is such a little room for turning around, how could the Ye family be willing to abandon their daughter.
Seeing that she didn't refuse coldly, Ye Nu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Feng Ling also said that if you can marry into the Feng family, he promises to make you the crown princess, and in the future, it may be Dafeng Kingdom Queen. I will never let you suffer any grievances. Yaoer... do you understand what grandpa means?"
Ye Shuiyao turned around and walked to her desk, and sat down feebly. The eyes are sometimes messy, sometimes confused, sometimes painful... In front of me, there is only a half-painted lotus with two pedicles. The lotus stem and lotus leaves are already formed, lifelike, but there is only a lonely white lotus blooming poignantly.
Ye Nu looked at her slender back, and said sadly: "Grandpa knows that this is too cruel for you, but we really have no choice. The men of the Ye family are all heroes, and each of them can work hard for the safety of the country." Life, regardless of life and death. Your temperament is too cold and lonely. We originally wanted you to spend your life peacefully as you like, and not let you be exposed to cruel struggles, but we didn't expect that you still couldn't escape... This is like It is the fate of my Ye family. This time, one of your decisions is related to the life and death of the entire Tianlong Kingdom!"
Ye Shuiyao clenched her hands tightly, her lips turned white from being bitten, how could she not know what Ye Nu said. Otherwise, even if it was her grandfather, she would refuse without hesitation. She is not an ignorant woman, under such circumstances, her rejection will be so feeble. If she agrees, she will save a country in danger. If she refuses...even if she really refuses, she will become a sinner of Tianlong Kingdom through the ages. And shame. In this world, there are always many selfish people, they only see their own safety, and take the initiative to ignore how painful it would be for Ye Shuiyao to marry to the Great Wind Country. Ye Shuiyao is not a saint, but a normal woman with her own yearning and selfishness, she cannot be as calm as "Zhaojun goes out of the fortress".
Time passed minute by minute, and it was eerily quiet, only two heartbeats of different frequencies could be vaguely heard. After waiting for a long time, Ye Nu didn't wait for Ye Shuiyao's reply, she sat there quietly, her eyes were dull, as if her soul was out of her body.
"You are a child of my Ye family. If you agree, my Ye family will be proud of you. If you resolutely refuse, no one can force you, and you should not force yourself too much." Ye Nu finally spoke again. He was worried that with her character, if she couldn't think about it and went to extremes for a while, everything would be irreversible.
He turned around and walked out with heavier footsteps than when he came. Ye Shuiyao was as quiet as ever, with her back turned to Ye Nu's face, already covered with water.
"I promise… "
The moment Ye Nu pushed open the door and stepped out of the room, Ye Shuiyao's trembling voice finally came from next to his ear. He stopped in his footsteps, nodded slightly, walked out slowly, and closed the door silently, his eyes were slightly moist.
Ye Shuiyao finally lay down on the desk, her shoulders twitched violently, and the drawing paper covered the table was wet layer by layer with tears. She has been autistic for many years, not only worrying about the fate of the Ye family, but also unwilling to be involved in this political dispute that she hates. But he didn't expect that he would still have to become a victim in the end. If Ye Wuchen hadn't come to Ye's house, she could only agree today, but she wouldn't cry, and waited for the fate to come in the cold silence. But now, it was the first time in her life that she cried so sadly and so freely. She agreed so quickly, so she was evading. Maybe only by leaving the Ye family and Tianlong Kingdom forever, can she completely forget this care that she shouldn't have, and won't... ruin Ye Wuchen's life.
When Ye Nu was consoling Ye Shuiyao, Ye Wei was also consoling Wang Wenshu. Women's emotions are stronger and more delicate than men's, and their hearts are not as wide as men's. But Wang Wenshu is not an ordinary woman. When Ye Wei said everything , she was stunned for a while, and then strongly asked Ye Wei not to agree, but Ye Wei just said simply: "Marrying in Dafeng Country, although Yao'er can't go home anymore, Tianlong The National Congress will always remember her name. If she does not marry into Dafeng Country, Tianlong Country will be in danger, she will be reviled, and the Ye family will also be criticized. If Tianlong Country is trampled, then she will not be married. Rather... being robbed."
Wang Wenshu could only cover her face and cry bitterly, and could not say any more words of dissuasion.
