"Your father also knows a secret of this king, which is related to my future plans."
Di Xin continued unhurriedly: "Therefore, getting rid of your father is the safest way for me."
After waiting for a while, after Zhao Yue'er had almost digested the information in these words, he stretched his hand over the coal stove to warm himself and said: "Your father is a talented person, and I really have the heart to cherish talents. At the same time,
After all, I have met you once, and I don’t want to see your black-haired man giving away your white-haired man, so I decided to spare his life.”
"It has something to do with... me?"
Zhao Yuer was stunned for a moment, saying that Di Xin let go of his father who wanted to kill him because of his affair with her.
The resentment in her heart decreased unconsciously.
"That's right."
Di Xin admitted this and asked: "I can let him go, but do you think that if a person who wanted to kill me before knows my secret, can I let him go with peace of mind?
"
The answer is of course not to worry.
Zhao Yue'er also knew this, and at the same time also understood some of Di Xin.
She is not a ungrateful person. Di Xin should be satisfied if she can spare her father's life. Naturally, she cannot expect him to not take precautions against his father.
That's not negotiation, that's stupidity.
Zhao Yue'er knew that the most important thing to her father was herself, so she only had three choices.
Either King Yu would imprison his father, or use her as a bargaining chip in exchange for his father's freedom.
Whether it was Zhao Yue'er's friendship with Di Xin or her father's relationship after he took refuge with Prince Yu, naturally she would not be imprisoned like her father when she stayed in the General's Mansion. At best, she would be under house arrest. At most, she would lose a little freedom, but her living conditions might actually be better.
And if he chooses neither of the two options, and Di Xin agrees not to kill them, then in order to keep the secret, he can only send them to a place very quickly, so that there is no need to worry about the secret being leaked.
Zhao Yue'er figured everything out and no longer had any resentment against Di Xin.
In other words, Di Xin was able to spare her father's life despite taking risks, and she should even be grateful to him.
However, she had even shared her most important secret with Di Xin and had already regarded him as her best friend, so even though she wanted to understand, she still couldn't accept him treating her as a bargaining chip.
Because of that Western caravan a few years ago, Zhao Yue'er has always hated the West in her heart, not to mention that after going there, she probably will never be able to return to her homeland.
Everyone has a love affair with the locals, so she actually didn't want to go to the West. The decisions she made during the day were more about the anger after feeling betrayed.
But now, she was vaguely wavering about her choice during the day.
Di Xin hasn't finished speaking yet.
When Zhao Yue'er sneaked into the general's mansion tonight, he knew that in her heart she was not really willing to go to the Western Land, but she was just unwilling to become a bargaining chip used to threaten her father.
Although Di Xin does not recommend the loss of one or two talents, if there is an opportunity to take them under his command, he will naturally be willing to do so.
And Zhao Yue'er's thoughts can undoubtedly change Zhao Quanyou's decision.
Therefore, Di Xin explained so much, on the one hand, to resolve the misunderstanding between him and Zhao Yuer, and on the other hand, to see if he could change her decision.
He opened his mouth and said: "The king keeps you in the general's mansion not only as a bargaining chip, but also for two reasons."
Zhao Yue'er subconsciously asked, "What's the reason?"
At present, it seems that this hope exists.
Di Xin smiled softly and said: "The first reason is that Mr. Zhao already said it during the day. If we don't go to the Western Land, then we can only protect your safety by keeping you in the General's Mansion."
Zhao Yue'er was unhappy: "Auntie... I'm also very strong."
Her strength in the middle stage of martial arts was indeed good, but Di Xin only said one word and she stopped.
"Your father is the Xiantian Grand Master. There are at least five second-level experts like your father in Mingyue Tower, or even more."
Di Xin said: "If you have been with your father, he will definitely restrain his hands out of concern for your safety. Only after you are no longer a hindrance can he exert his full strength."
Zhao Yue'er was obviously not happy to be said to be a drag, but she also knew that Di Xin was right.
But she still muttered: "Your general's mansion only has one innate grandmaster, how can you protect me?"
Di Xin did not say that he was also a strong man in the second realm, but said: "Don't forget that this is the territory of Dali. This king is King Yu, and he is the general of Zhenguan. He represents the royal family and the court."
"The commotion caused by several strong men of the second realm is too great. No matter how powerful Mingyue Tower is, it is only an underground organization. If it openly resists the imperial court, no matter how deep it is hidden, the imperial court will not be destroyed."
"And if we assassinate them one by one..."
Di Xin sneered and did not say the next words, but Zhao Yue'er already understood.
Her father, Zhao Quanyou, is a ready example. If they come one by one, even a strong person in the second level will not be able to escape.
Moreover, the defection of a strong man in the second level will make Mingyue Tower even more fearful of the General's Mansion and His Royal Highness Prince Yu, so that he will not dare to take action at will.
Therefore, it is indeed the best choice for her to stay in the General's Mansion.
However, she asked forcefully: "Then there is another reason?"
"There is another reason..."
Di Xin blinked at her and showed a smile that everyone understood: "There are not so many rules in my general's mansion, and no one will gossip with your father. You can run or jump as much as you want."
Zhao Yue'er's eyes lit up, and she was obviously moved.
After hesitating for a moment, she asked tentatively: "Then if I stay in the General's Mansion, can I still see my father?"
After she finished speaking, she immediately added: "Don't get me wrong, I just asked casually, not to change my mind."
An overpowering smell permeated the entire study.
Di Xin did not touch Zhao Yue'er, his red face had betrayed her, and he said with a smile: "Of course, you are not a prisoner, but live in the General's Mansion as a guest. As long as you are in Yanque Pass, you can meet me at any time.
See."
Picking up her favorite apple and handing it over to her, he also added: "And it will only take a few months. When the secret your father knows expires, you can leave at any time."
A few months is not a long time. Although she has never been separated from Zhao Quan in her whole life, Zhao Yue'er would rather wait a few months than to sail across the ocean.
And it's not like they haven't seen each other in the past few months, as long as their father returns to Yanque Pass every time, they can see each other.
She silently changed her mind and noticed another question: "The secret related to Zishou cannot be told. What is this secret?"
"Anyway, I will be right under your nose from now on, so you don't have to worry about me leaking your secrets, just tell me, okay?"
Di Xin did not answer, but asked with a half-smile: "Changed your mind?"
Zhao Yue'er noticed her faux pas, her face turned red, she simply turned her head and said firmly: "Anyway, if it's different from what you said, I will run away secretly."
Di Xin laughed dumbly and ran away under the nose of a great congenital master. Fortunately for her, she dared to say so.
