Chapter 446: The Capable One Aims for the Top
In fact, when King Liang captured the person sent by Dayan to spread rumors in Yanwo, he told that person that he wanted to cooperate with Dayan and meet the Ninth Prince of Dayan. Xiao Rongyan originally planned to ignore it.
But the King of Liang said that Bai Qingyan was now feared by other countries and would be a strong enemy of Dayan in the future. He was willing to join hands with Dayan to kill Bai Qingyan. Only then did Xiao Rongyan feel that he could not just let this matter go.
Later… When Prince Liang’s disaster relief efforts in Yan Wo triggered a civil uprising, Xiao Rongyan sent his own people to Dadu, asking him to observe the situation and deal with it in Dadu. If Prince Liang was escorted back to Dadu and had the ability to prevent the emperor from punishing him, Xiao Rongyan would ask his people to meet Prince Liang in the identity of Murong Yan, the ninth prince of Dayan, to see what Prince Liang’s plans were.
If King Liang is punished, just ignore it.
Who would have thought that Prince Liang actually had the ability to make the emperor let him go so easily and even show him more favor. Only then did Xiao Rongyan’s people go to see Prince Liang.
“Thank you for your advice, Mr. Xiao!” Bai Qingyan straightened his back and nodded solemnly to Xiao Rongyan, “I wonder if Mr. Xiao can tell me how Prince Liang intends to cooperate with the Ninth Prince of Dayan?”
Xiao Rongyan looked at Bai Qingyan with a faint smile, and said calmly: “Lend him troops, but… now King Liang has nothing to give to Dayan except promises. Even if he hands the handle to Dayan, his life… is not precious in Dayan’s eyes. The Ninth Prince of Dayan asked King Liang to wait until he has enough bargaining chips before discussing cooperation. However… in order to show Dayan’s sincerity in waiting for King Liang, if King Liang needs help, he only needs to go to Shangmo Study. Dayan will help if it is not too much!”
In other words, Xiao Rongyan still looks down on this King Liang who pretends to be stupid.
Xiao Rongyan did not send anyone to be by Prince Liang’s side. Instead, he used the method of advancing and retreating to grasp Prince Liang’s movements and to prevent Prince Liang from taking the opportunity to seek cooperation with other countries.
Only if Dayan does this will King Liang feel that Dayan is indeed sincere.
Despite this, Bai Qingyan still couldn’t let it go.
Seeing Bai Qingyan lowering his eyes in deep thought, Xiao Rongyan did not try to hide his feelings in front of him. He raised his hand and placed the gold-painted plate with the Begonia Pastry in front of him, and pushed it towards Bai Qingyan: “I specifically asked the cook to make it lighter and use vegetable oil. Try it.”
Bai Qingyan raised his eyes upon hearing the voice, and met Xiao Rongyan’s restrained and calm black eyes, which were as deep as the morning sun that night.
“Were you injured in the battle in Northern Frontier?” Xiao Rongyan’s mellow and gentle voice sounded.
“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Xiao.” Bai Qingyan lowered his eyes to the small chessboard, picked up the teacup, raised the cup to Xiao Rongyan in a casual manner, and said, “I forgot to congratulate Mr. Xiao. Now the chess game in the world… should be what Mr. Xiao expected.”
Xiao Rongyan picked up the teacup in front of him and said to Bai Qingyan: “Yan… I also congratulate Miss Bai for her good planning and arrangement. In a few years, the Bai family will have the final say in the world of Dajin.”
No matter whether it is Xiao Rongyan or Bai Qingyan, both of them are walking on thin ice and trying to survive in desperate situations. It has been so difficult for them to get to this point today. In addition to the feelings hidden in their hearts that they dare not express clearly, there is also a feeling of mutual appreciation.
“Speaking of which, Yan needs to thank Miss Bai very much. My brother wrote to say that because of Doctor Hong, his health is getting better! Doctor Hong is already on his way back to Dadu. According to the time… he should arrive in Dadu within three days!” Xiao Rongyan put down the teacup and said softly.
Hearing this news, Bai Qingyan felt relieved: “If Mr. Xiao didn’t mention this matter, I would have asked about it.”
After all, Bai Jinxiu is getting older and older. Although Lu Ninghua is around, it is not as reassuring as having Doctor Hong around to make Bai Qingyan feel at ease. It’s just that it’s hard for Doctor Hong to run back and forth at such an old age.
“Doctor Hong has prescribed medicine for my brother. As long as you take it on time according to the prescription… and take good care of yourself for a few years, even if your body will not be as healthy as that of an ordinary person, you won’t have to suffer from the poison anymore.” When Xiao Rongyan said this, he was really grateful to Bai Qingyan for letting the doctor from his own house to treat his brother.
Sitting under the green grass of ancient trees, the fragrance of osmanthus fills your nose when the wind blows.
The sky is clear, the weather is sunny, and white clouds are passing by. It is a rare leisurely and comfortable experience.
Since he decided to leave Dayan and work hard for his country, he has never felt so relaxed.
Even when sitting somewhere idly with those rich and idle people, my mind never stops.
Just as Bai Qingyan said, because the current situation in the world is exactly as Xiao Rongyan expected, he can breathe a sigh of relief.
But I was only slightly relieved.
Dayan… must still be vigilant about the weakness of the country and the poverty of the people, work secretly to strengthen itself, and vigorously develop the military and agriculture in preparation for the future.
Xiao Rongyan recalled that a while ago he heard from a secret source in the Prince’s Mansion that when Bai Qingyan learned about the Rongdi Rebellion, he suggested to the Prince… that he send troops to help the Rongdi so that he could seize all of the Rongdi’s natural pastures. However, neither the Prince nor the Emperor listened to Bai Qingyan.
It was also because Bai Qingyan really had no one under her command, otherwise… with her intelligence and foresight, if she had given her people and soldiers, she would not only pave Bai’s way steadily, but also pave the way for her to take over the world in the future.
It is truly remarkable that he has such insight and strategy before he reaches middle age.
As the wind blew, the ancient osmanthus tree with lush branches and leaves rustled, and the mottled light spots left by the sunlight swayed. The osmanthus flowers also fell one after another, entangled with Bai Qingyan’s hair, and fell on her shoulders, making Xiao Rongyan want to raise his hand to brush them away for her.
“If there is peace in the world one day, it would be very comfortable to drink tea with Miss Bai under the osmanthus tree.” Xiao Rongyan said.
“It seems that Mr. Xiao is confident about his great cause.” Bai Qingyan casually poured out the tea with osmanthus flowers dropped on it.
Xiao Rongyan chuckled, picked up the teapot with his handkerchief again, and poured tea for Bai Qingyan: “With the help of Miss Bai, I am confident.”
Bai Qingyan knew that Xiao Rongyan wanted to get her on board, so she deliberately brought up the matter of opening a mine: “It can’t be called helping each other, but it’s mutually beneficial!”
Bai Qingyan didn’t respond, and Xiao Rongyan knew that it was not the right time yet. He just didn’t know whether Bai Qingyan still looked down on the strength of the Great Yan Kingdom, or… intended to change the imperial power of the Jin Kingdom to her surname, or make the world belong to her.
Today was a rare opportunity, so Xiao Rongyan asked the question he least wanted to ask: “Miss Bai, do you also want to take over the world? Make this world… named Bai?”
“This world has never belonged to any one family. Many heroes compete for supremacy, and the capable ones strive for the throne. Those who can bring welfare to tens of thousands of people will live forever, while those who kill and treat the people as ants will be like passing clouds even if they take the world into their arms.” Bai Qingyan looked deeply at Xiao Rongyan, “After unifying the world and ascending to the top, and establishing such an unprecedented achievement, the road ahead will be more difficult and heavier. Otherwise…why did Qin unify the world but perish in the second generation?”
