Qin Yining was amused by Hiragana's words.
Why did these people always want to commit suicide?
"You're not even afraid of death, so why don't you have the courage to do something good for the people?"
"Our loyalty isn't something you can understand!" Hiragana said stubbornly.
Qin Yining said, "There's a saying in our country that goes like this: a fine bird chooses a tree to nest in. If you're loyal to a wise man, then you're not stupid. If you're loyal to a daimyo who cares about the people, then everything you do is for the good of the people. If you're loyal to a despicable person, then you're helping the evildoer do evil! Your daimyo betrayed his subordinates, and you used a despicable person like Adachi Tama. Birds of a feather flock together. What kind of person is he? Can someone like him really let the people of Water Swamp Country live a good life? "
Qin Yining took a deep breath and waited for Gao Desai to translate her words before continuing, "Today, when I was in the fields, I saw many children helping their mothers and grandmothers. They didn't even have a single piece of clothing to cover their bodies.
Their female elders were skinny and sturdy, and had completely lost their feminine beauty. Because they had to work non-stop, each of them were like thick tree branches. Their fields were heavier than the men's, because all the men, including the ten year old boys, were in the ranks of the soldiers. Perhaps they would lose their lives one day.
"This country needs men and women in order to have more children. Only then can it continue to reproduce. But think about it. If your country were to go to war a few more times, how many men would be left? Without enough men to fill the ranks of the army, when people attack again, won't the remaining women and children lose their lives? "
Qin Yining had observed for a whole day, and with the information that Adachi Tama and Hiragana had revealed, he had a clear understanding of Water Swamp Country's current situation.
This Ishikawa Fusei was a vain, pompous, and despicable person. He didn't care about the people. He only cared about his own reputation. He didn't care about the people's gains or losses. He only cared about his image in the eyes of the other daimyos.
He valued his reputation and pleasure above all else. How could a daimyo like that care about the lives of the people? How could they truly develop the Water Swamp Country?
Given the current situation, it was only a matter of time before the Water Swamp Country walked down the same path as the Northern Ji Country and the Yan Country. They would be crushed by war, and their citizens would be forced to leave their homes. Only a small portion of them would survive, and they would have to endure the next natural disaster.
What Qin Yining and Pang Xiao had always wanted to do was to let the people of the world settle down and live a stable life, so that they would no longer have to suffer the ravages of war and be exploited by corrupt officials.
That was why Qin Yining couldn't help but talk to Ping Hei Cai about the current state of Water Swamp Country.
Ping Hei Cai's heart started to waver, but he also looked at Qin Yining with caution.
"Why are you telling me all this?"
Qin Yining said leisurely, "I only have one goal, and that is to bury Sakurai in her hometown. If your Shichuan Daimyo is willing to agree, then everything can be discussed. If not, I don't mind using force. "
"You!" Ping Hei Cai glared at him angrily.
Qin Yining waved his hand, indicating for him to calm down.
"If I use force, I will definitely avenge Sakurai. That Shichuan Kusei and Adachi Manha are not people worthy of forgiveness. If they die, won't your country fall into chaos?
"I'm only saying this to analyze the current situation of Water Swamp Country from an outsider's perspective. I'm not a citizen of Water Swamp Country, so I don't need to worry about your future. I'm just saying this in passing. If you have the heart to prepare now, then you can use this chaos to give your people a better life. If you don't have the heart to protect your master, then when the time comes, I won't go easy on you. "
Everyone was stunned by Qin Yining's words.
Gao Delai wiped away the sweat on his forehead, and explained everything to Ping Hei Cai.
Ping Hei Cai's face turned red, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell the Daimyo about this? You won't have a chance to do anything! "
"Do as you wish. That is, if you want to betray Sakurai Hideaki again. " Qin Yining stood up with a smile. His eyes were burning, and his aura was imposing. "I'll say it again. I just want to bury Sakurai and let him return to his roots. I want to end his regrets. I don't care about the price he has to pay for this. Whether or not you tell the Daimyo about this, I won't change my mind. "
Ping Hei Cai gritted his teeth.
He had never seen such a domineering woman. Her words were so frightening.
His heart was struggling fiercely.
Should he help Sakurai, or protect the Daimyo?
Should he protect his own beliefs, or should he think about the people of Water Swamp Country?
Qin Yining looked at Ping Hei Cai's expression and slowly said, "I've already explained my intentions. It's getting late, so please help yourself."
When Gao Delai told Ping Hei Cai what she had said, Qin Yining nodded slightly, got up, and walked to the cabin.
Ji Yun, Jing Zhe, and the others naturally followed Qin Yining out. The people hiding in the shadows also quietly retreated.
Liao Zhibing and Gao Delai remained in place, not knowing what to do.
Qin Yining's words today had quite the impact on them. They didn't expect the Alliance Master to make such a decision. But when they thought about it carefully, the Alliance Master was indeed someone who would do something like this.
Gao Delai tried to persuade Ping Hei Cai. "You don't have to rush to a decision. Think it over carefully.
You've already regretted not speaking up for Sakurai for so many years. Think carefully before you make this decision. Otherwise, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. "
Ping Hei Cai snapped out of his daze and nodded. He covered his face with the black cloth with a serious expression. After bidding farewell to Gao Delai and Liao Zhibing, he quietly left the junkyard. He didn't want to disturb the guards who were snoring on the shore. He quietly left the docks like a leopard cat.
After Qin Yining confirmed that he had left, he returned to the main hall.
Gao Delai said worriedly, "Alliance Master, what if he goes back and tells on us?"
"He won't," Qin Yining said confidently.
