Chapter 158 Life is not bitter, but sweet with you
Yun Wu pondered for a while: "Then this illusion is equivalent to the person behind the scenes who controls all countries, and our countries are equivalent to his vassals?"
"It can be understood that they allow countries to compete for territory, but they will not allow any country to become particularly strong.
Twenty years ago, there was a Sulu country that continuously invaded and occupied neighboring countries and swallowed up several neighboring small countries. The illusion took action and disintegrated Sulu. Now Su? has become a vassal state of Dawan.
We have been in civil strife for so many years and yet no one has taken over the power. This is also because of the illusion control."
Yun Wu was a little surprised: "So the illusion is actually a central organization that maintains balance?"
"So, at least they think so. What they do is to suppress all countries and allow them to develop stably, and prevent anyone from unifying the continent."
"Why not unify? Wouldn't unification lead to better development?"
"Decades ago, this continent was under the unified jurisdiction of the Illusion Empire. Countries like ours were deliberately separated from the Illusion Empire back then.
If you want to know more, you can read the "Tongjian of Illusions", which has detailed records."
Ye Xiang stood up, took down a book from the bookshelf and handed it to her.
Yun Wu took the book and was still puzzled: "In that case, there is no conflict between the illusion and me, and I can't threaten them. Why did the Fourth Prince want to kill me?"
Why did he spend a lot of money to kill her for no reason?
"The fourth prince of the fantasy world is a very talkative person. He is the most honest among the princes of the fantasy world. I can't figure out why he wants to kill you.
But no matter what the reason is, since he dares to attack you, I will never let him go."
There is nothing to fear from his night disaster, and he tried his best to leave Yun Wu with a worry-free future.
Yun Wu held up her cheeks and looked at him: "Aren't you afraid of the people in the fantasy world? They helped you back then and they must have caught you."
"I'm not even afraid of death, so I'm not afraid of any excuses." Ye Xiang snorted coldly.
He suddenly grabbed her hand: "Except for you, I have nothing to be afraid of."
Yun Wu looked at his sudden serious expression, and his beautiful face seemed to have a layer of white luster, making his already beautiful face even more alluring.
"Am I so scary?" Yun Wu asked coquettishly.
"Yes, it's scary. I hold it in my hand for fear of melting, hold it in my arms for fear of breaking into pieces, and when my face becomes unhappy, I fear that you will be wronged. This is the first time in my twenty years of life that I am afraid of being alone."
Ye Xiang held her in his arms and coaxed her.
Yun Wu asked innocently: "You seem to love me very much, why?"
Ye Xiang pinched her face: "Because someone said that the life-saving grace must be pledged with one's body, so maybe I will give her more heart-to-heart."
Yun Wu stood up on her tiptoes and kissed him: "Then your body and mind belong to me, and you must obey me. You are not allowed to die until I let you die."
Ye Xiang coaxed her: "Okay."
But life and death are not controlled by people.
Yun Wu raised her pretty little face and looked at him: "Suddenly I want to pinch your ears and big tail."
Ye Xiang lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers: "It's very simple. I'll cut my wrist and let you touch some blood."
Yun Wu glared at him: "Are you a fool? Don't do this. Don't hurt yourself."
Ye Xiang laughed and sealed her with his lips.
Bao Yi stood outside with his hands in his sleeves and said to Lei Lei: "Miss Yunwu is really capable. She can make her master happy at once. I have served my master for so long and I have never seen him as happy as he has been in the past two days."
Lei Lei rolled his eyes at him: "You only know how powerful she is now. I already knew it when I ate roast chicken legs at her house."
Bao Yi's eyes widened: "Tingzi, when did you become so powerful? Can you tell how powerful a person is by looking at a roasted chicken leg?"
"Stupid, Miss Yunwu's injury will be healed in three days, is it serious?"
Bao Yi twitched his lips: "I see, then Miss Yunwu is much more powerful. She stunned the master of the Shadow Pavilion today.
There was a killer who swept through the Shadow Pavilion last night, but these abilities are nothing, our master is also very strong.
She is only strong because she can conquer our master. Now he is obedient to her, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"
Lei Lei didn't take it seriously: "You just think too much and don't care about good or bad things. In short, we can do whatever the master wants us to do.
As long as the master is happy, don’t worry about anything else.”
"Yes, how about we eat roasted chicken legs tonight and let Ashu bake them for us."
"No, I want to eat roast duck. Roast duck is more delicious than chicken legs."
Lei Lei turned around and walked towards the small kitchen.
Bao Yi quickly followed up: "I gave Miss Ashu a lot of pearl flowers, and she will definitely help me roast chicken legs."
"I gave Miss Amon a precious knife that can cut iron like clay, and she will cook roast duck for me."
The two of them disappeared into the main courtyard while talking.
Gu Shengyan, who was locked in the room, heard their voices: "..."
He also really wants to eat roast chicken legs and roast duck. He hasn't eaten anything since last night. The Regent's Palace is mistreating prisoners.
After all, she still had to rely on the Shadow Pavilion to help deal with the illusion. While she was eating, Yun Wu finally remembered that there was another unlucky guy who was imprisoned.
She asked: "Gu Shengyan is being held in the main courtyard, will anyone bring food to him?"
Ye Xiang glanced at Bao Yi.
Bao Yi blinked: "Do you still want to send him food?"
It's not a big deal for a captured prisoner to starve for a few days, as long as he doesn't die.
Yun Wu opened her eyes wide: "Then he hasn't eaten since last night?"
Ye Shi glanced over and said, "Is it difficult to go without food for a whole day and a night? I once was hungry for five days and five nights."
Yun Wu immediately changed her expression and said, "It's not difficult. It doesn't matter if we don't give him a prisoner. Let him starve for a few more days."
Yun Wu moved her chair, moved to his side and asked, "Have you really not eaten for five days and five nights?"
Ye Xiang grabbed her hand, squeezed it and said calmly: "Well, it's thanks to Bao Yi that he would find a way to get me some water at that time, so I could save my life."
"So Bao Yi was with you at that time?"
"Master Yunwu, this slave was not qualified to be with the master at that time. I was just a little eunuch in the cold palace at that time.
Because he was small and weak, he was bullied by other eunuchs. At that time, the master was in trouble and the slaves could not help him get any food, not even clean water, and all they got was water from the pond..."
Yun Wu looked at the two of them with some sympathy. These two people were now making all the difference. Even the little eunuch Bao Yi, who had been bullied since childhood, no one dared to give him any look when he walked outside.
Who knew they had suffered like this before.
Yun Wu feels that she is still a very lucky person. She was adopted by her master when she was young, learned a lot of superhuman skills, joined a great organization, and did some very meaningful things.
Even if she came here because she died on a mission, she still felt that life was very meaningful.
Yun Wu smiled at Ye Xiang: "Although life is bitter, we can do sweet things to cover it.
Let’s make the Zhou Dynasty strong, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country will be prosperous and peaceful for a long time.”
Ye Xiang looked at her face full of hope and confidence, and replied heavily and firmly: "Okay."
