Jin Zi didn't stare at Mu Ling'er like before. At this moment, he treated Mu Ling'er as air and didn't even look at her.
Han Yunxi saw all of this with her own eyes.
Han Yunxi was even more surprised. Coldly, she asked, "What does Ning Cheng owe you?"
"When Ning Cheng left Northern Li, he promised me that if I came to Yunning Palace with him, he would return my bank to me. I came, but he ran away. Princess, if I don't ask you for the debt, who should I ask for it from? "Jin Zi said very calmly.
Mu Ling'er only thought that Jin Zi came to ask for money, but Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi both became serious.
Gold's line, this sentence could be said to have a profound meaning!
According to Han Yunxi's understanding, Ning Cheng had repeatedly persuaded Jin Zi to stay and pretend to be the Black Clan's orphan until the end. However, Jin Zi didn't agree.
Ning Cheng left the army and came to Yunning to report the completion of the mission and to receive the reward. After Long Fei Ye became the emperor, the Ning Army must be rewarded according to their merits!
Jin Zi agreed to come with him. In other words, Jin Zi accepted Ning Cheng's persuasion and wanted to receive the title and reward together with Ning Cheng. In other words, Jin Zi decided to stay in the Northern Li army since he could come to Yunning!
When Ning Cheng left, not only did Jin Zi not follow, but he also came to them. His attitude couldn't be more obvious.
At this time, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi finally figured out Ning Cheng's layout in Northern Li!
If Jin Zi was sincere in surrendering, then their previous worries were at least unnecessary for the time being. Moreover, the Black Clan Army and the Tiger Army were in charge of Northern Li, while the Ning Clan Army retreated to the second line. In this way, the people of the various military factions could not say anything, let alone have the opportunity to point the spearhead at Han Yunxi.
Ning Cheng's departure was clearly a retreat in order to advance! He really gave Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi a big gift!
Jin Zi took out the tiger tag and presented it with both hands, "Princess, this is my sincerity. The money of the bank can't be less!"
Han Yunxi smiled helplessly, while Long Fei Ye said unhappily, "Have you really never seen Ning Cheng?"
Jin Zi spoke the truth, "This token was originally with him. A few days ago when I was in the inn, a boy brought it over. Since Ning Cheng has already left, why bother looking for him? "
In the past, Jin Zi didn't know much about the Di Clan and Western Qin's royal family, but after fighting with Ning Cheng in Northern Li for half a year, he understood everything very well.
Long Fei Ye didn't say anything. Although Ning Cheng cleaned up the battlefield in Northern Li very cleanly and didn't leave any trouble for them, this was a public fact.
Ning Cheng and his personal grudges hadn't been settled yet!
In these past few months, while Long Fei Ye was busy, he had sent people to find a lot of strong liquor. Was Ning Cheng admitting defeat?
Long Fei Ye wasn't someone who would accept defeat!
Coldly, he said, "In the future, when you see Ning Cheng, please tell him that this crown prince invited him to drink!"
"Okay! I'll remember it! " Every time Jin Zi drank with Ning Cheng, he would get drunk first. He really wanted to know, if Long Fei Ye and Ning Cheng drank, who would get drunk first?
Han Yunxi, who didn't know the truth, was rather surprised. Long Fei Ye actually took the initiative to invite Ning Cheng for a drink? Was there any conspiracy behind this?
Was Long Fei Ye trying to lure Ning Cheng out? Ning Cheng probably wouldn't show himself, right?
"Regarding the matter of the bank, go to Three-Way Black Market's East Origin Hall. Someone will arrange it." Long Fei Ye said.
Since Jin Zi had come looking for Han Yunxi to ask for a debt, he naturally had to help Han Yunxi repay it.
"Jin Zi, I will pay attention to your background. I heard Ning Cheng say that you miss Wintercrow's grasslands … … "Han Yunxi said with a smile," In the future, if you have the heart, His Highness and I will definitely support you. Someone will have to manage Wintercrow's slave trade sooner or later. "
Han Yunxi's words were reserved, but Jin Zi could understand.
She said this to make Jin Zi give up on the slave trade. She also gave Jin Zi hope, hinting to Jin Zi that she had thoughts of taking over Wintercrow Country. Even if Jin Zi changed his mind one day, there was no way out!
"Alright, this one will remember it." Jin Zi said coldly.
He was about to leave, but Han Yunxi stopped him, "That's right, there's something else I need to ask, so you won't come back to ask for a debt in the future."
"What is it?" Jin Zi asked.
"This little sister of mine, you're not going to marry her, right? Han Yunxi asked in a serious tone.
Mu Ling 'er didn't expect Han Yunxi to be so direct. She almost buried her head on the table. This time, Jin Zi was also surprised.
He had thought that the agreement could be delayed for a while. He had thought that if he didn't give Mu Ling 'er a chance to lay her cards on the table, their relationship would never be considered over.
But … …
He finally looked at Mu Ling 'er and asked Coldly, "Is she still going to marry?"
Han Yunxi waited for Mu Ling 'er to reply. Mu Ling' er lowered her head and didn't speak for a long time.
"Are you still going to marry?" Han Yunxi couldn't help but ask.
"No … … I'm not going to marry," Mu Ling 'er said in a low voice. She, who always kept her promises, said the word "no" when she broke her promise.
In that instant, Jin Zi's gaze immediately moved away, no longer looking at her.
This was the result of their one-year agreement. She had broken her promise.
Jin Zi shrugged, "Then I'm not going to marry her! Goodbye! "
After saying that, he didn't stay and turned to leave.
Mu Ling 'er didn't expect things to be so simple!
When she was in Northern Li, she was on tenterhooks every day, waiting for Jin Zi to come looking for her. She was already prepared to lay her cards on the table and go back on her word.
She knew that Jin Zi would reject her, get angry, and even hit her. She had thought of all kinds of excuses to deal with him, and even wanted to use her sister and brother-in-law to threaten him.
But who knew that after not seeing her for three months, he would let her go so easily today?
He just said, "Then I'm not going to marry her," and everything would be fine?
Mu Ling 'er looked up in disbelief. She couldn't see Jin Zi's cold face, only his thin and lonely back.
He walked out of the door, and his back gradually disappeared.
Was it over just like that?
This guy … who had always longed to return to his hometown and roam the grasslands freely, chose to stay in the Northern Li army and shoulder the burden of rebuilding Northern Li after the disaster.
This … this guy who forced himself on her, bullied her, and was so stubborn that she couldn't persuade him to change his mind or beg him had said, "Then I'm not going to marry her."
Mu Ling 'er should have felt relieved that Jin Zi didn't pursue the matter, but she had an indescribable feeling instead. She faintly sensed that something was wrong with Jin Zi, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
Jin Zi, why didn't you leave?
When Jin Zi burned his indenture agreement in the beginning, he didn't choose to find Mu Ling 'er or leave. That probably meant that he couldn't leave her for the rest of his life.
That was why the hesitant Ning Cheng finally decided to send the Black Clan and tiger troops to the various strongholds to set up a trap for Jin Zi and Han Yunxi.
After Jin Zi left, Long Fei Ye murmured to Chu Xifeng, "Spread the news. Just say that I intend to make Jin Zi the Great General of the North and take control of Northern Li's military."
Long Fei Ye knew what to do, but spreading the news ahead of time was precisely to shut up the mouths of his subordinates. After all, as soon as the plague in Northern Li ended, many rumors pointed the finger of blame at Han Yunxi!
Han Yunxi sat on one side and secretly smiled at the words.
It was natural for a married woman to be favored by her husband and protected by her maternal family.
But in this world, from the imperial clan to the common folk, there would always be people who couldn't stand to see such things happen. There was no lack of gossip and conspiracies that were impossible to guard against. It was as if a married woman was meant to be bullied, sacrificed, and compromised.
There was a good saying: the husband was stronger than the maternal family, and the maternal family was stronger than one's own strength! Only by being strong could one convince others wholeheartedly.
Han Yunxi was strong in all aspects, but she lacked a military force that she could truly control. Since the Ning Clan troops could retreat to the front lines, she could cultivate Jin Zi's Northern Li military into a force that truly belonged to her!
She wasn't sure how reliable Jin Zi was, but at least he'd be reliable for the next few years. In the next few years, she had to borrow this fellow, Jin Zi, to cultivate a truly loyal force.
Northern Li was close to the Mysterious Continent, so Han Yunxi figured that perhaps she could personally travel to the snowy mountains to check on the Ice Sea after she was done with her business.
Long Fei Ye had made Han Chen promise to protect Northern Li's northern borders for 20 years. She felt that opening up Northern Li to the Mysterious Continent was a good choice.
The Mysterious Continent's agricultural and medical industries weren't as developed as Cloud Realm Continent. Perhaps Northern Li could even be called a commercial stronghold! Of course, that was all for later.
Han Yunxi played with Jin Zi's tiger medallion and grinned. "Long Fei Ye, this plaything's mine!"
Long Fei Ye glanced at her, too lazy to speak. When had he ever refused to give her anything she wanted? Long Fei Ye tossed over a command medallion, which Han Yunxi accepted. Upon closer inspection, she found it unfamiliar.
The medallion was made of bronze and looked very simple. It should be a military command medallion, with the word "command" on the back and the map of Cloud Realm Continent on the front.
"This is …" Han Yunxi didn't understand.
"I ordered it a while ago and sent it over this morning." Long Fei Ye rose to retrieve a brocade box as he spoke. Inside were several command medallions that looked similar to the one in Han Yunxi's hands, but with a different map on the front.
Han Yunxi's medallion was a map of Cloud Realm Continent, while the other medallions represented the east, west, north, south, and central regions of the continent.
Without a doubt, this was a brand new set of command medallions. Han Yunxi's medallion was a command medallion that allowed her to control all of Cloud Realm Continent's military affairs.
Cloud Realm Continent was so big that it naturally had to be divided into several large military regions. The head of the military regions was basically handed over to the heads of the various military branches. However, the selection of the ministers in charge of the various military regions had to be done carefully!
Han Yunxi looked at Long Fei Ye seriously. "You have someone in mind? Who? "
Long Fei Ye's lips quirked up into a faint smile as he took the medallion from Han Yunxi's hands. He fiddled with it with interest, but didn't say a word.
"Tell me!" Han Yunxi grew anxious. Long Fei Ye must have someone in mind if he'd already made the medallion. She couldn't guess, because she didn't know anyone suitable for the position. Rather than letting someone unsuitable take on the heavy responsibility, it was better for Long Fei Ye to take charge of the various military factions himself.
"Aiya, you can tell me in secret, but I won't tell anyone! At most, I'll tell Gu Beiyue, "Han Yunxi grew anxious.
