In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 663 - 645: Choices_1

Chapter 663: Chapter 645: Choices_1

At the moment, Imperial Consort Hua, accompanied by the Crown Prince, has control of the grand situation under her status as the Empress Dowager.

Qin Yi should not provoke criticism by bypassing Imperial Consort Hua and dealing with the situation directly.

However, they came to hear of the arrogant attitude of the emissary, who surprisingly relied on the principle of "No Killing Diplomats During Warfare," daring to be impudent in front of Qin Yi and others!

Qin Yi, using the pretext that "Where are the two countries? This person is clearly sowing discord between Prince Xuan and the late Emperor," directly killed him.

Another official who came along didn’t dare to utter half a word. That night, he slinked away in a huff.

Once that official departed, the matter of the final resting place for the late Emperor’s remains was again brought up by Imperial Consort Hua.

Qin Yi naturally recommended Master Uncle Cheng to Imperial Consort Hua. Master Uncle Cheng had originally served under the late Emperor, and even held the position of Great General. After the Emperor’s death, Qin Yi initially entrusted the matter of the burial to him.

As the head of Valley of Ghosts, Master Uncle Cheng was originally adept in the study of Feng Shui, so helping with the site selection was using his knowledge for a good cause.

Soon, a dragon’s lair was found in Qinling, and the late Emperor was secretly buried there at dusk.

The secret burial was meant to prevent any leaks that might give others opportunities to take advantage of and to protect the late Emperor’s remains from being coveted by anyone with ulterior motives.

Upon the late Emperor’s burial, Imperial Consort Hua was equally anxious!

Currently, Fei’er is still a child. It was too much to expect of him to sit on that throne at the age of nine, yet, she had no choice but to acquiesce!

Immediately, she secretly summoned Ye Han and Qin Yi on the first day she arrived.

What the three discussed, outsiders naturally wouldn’t know.

However, after coming out, Ye Han grabbed Qin Yi’s arm and pulled him to the top of the hill behind. The hilltop was completely bare, allowing a long-distance view of movements in all directions. He stared at Qin Yi’s face for a long time.

"Are you truly certain?"

"Certain about what?"

Qin Yi, with an indifferent face, struggled to free himself from Ye Han’s hold.

Ye Han, looking somewhat disheveled, was thrown onto the ground. He hurriedly got up and said, "You know exactly what I’m talking about! I’ll ask you one more time, are you sure? There mustn’t be any regrets!"

Qin Yi said nothing, but stared at the somewhat disheveled Ye Han, turned around, and began to walk away.

"Wait! Don’t be in such a hurry to leave..."

Ye Han hurried to stop him, stepping forward to obstruct his path.

But Qin Yi managed to shake him off. His tone was harsh: "Alright, I know what I’m doing!"

Ye Han fell silent, taking a long time to snap out of it.

Qin Yi repressed the harsh look on his face, restoring his usual indifferent expression. He casually wiped his face, then moderated his tone.

"Brother Ye, I will always cherish your kindness toward me. However, in life, what matters most and deciding what to grasp and what to give up, one must differentiate clearly. I, Qin Yi, have never had great ambition or immense courage, much less am I some great hero! From the beginning of my career in officialdom, my thoughts were simple."

Ye Han, still stunned, obviously could not snap out of it from his words.

"Those ideals, like being the ruler and standing above the masses, those are not what I aspire to. I don’t want much. I want to give my Pan’er a warm home, provide a protective umbrella for her, and allow her, myself and our children to live carefree. That’s enough!"

Qin Yi’s words were passionate and firm!

These were his inner thoughts, which had always been buried deep in his heart until now. And speaking of them, he felt a sigh of relief.

A sense of satisfaction filled his heart.

Instead, Ye Han did not know how to respond and could only stare blankly at him.

Qin Yi began to laugh heartily!

"In one’s life, it’s a rare opportunity to be so infatuated! A noble man should keep his promises! In this life, if I am accompanied by her till the end. For me, Qin Yi, it’s worth it!"

His words moved Ye Han!

Looking at Qin Yi laughing heartily, an inexplicable sorrow welled up in his heart.

Indeed!

Being fortunate enough to accompany her, he indeed felt it was worth it!

What about him? His boiling passion couldn’t escape his chest and he didn’t have a day when he could express it!

Thinking of this, the wound that had been pierced through his chest started throbbing with intense pain, so painful... so painful... each of his breaths was accompanied by an intense agony!

He couldn’t help but wonder if puss had formed in his wound, seeping out dirty fluid?

One month after the late Emperor’s passing, Crown Prince Qin Feimo ascended to the throne in Jingzhao Prefecture. He took the era name "Dewu" and became the youngest Little Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, standing in opposition to Qin Zitong in Kaifeng.

At this moment, the accumulated snow on the mountain had already melted. Ye Han and others had moved to Jingzhao Prefecture with the imperial entourage. Yet, Qin Yi and others had been ordered to stay in Hezhong Prefecture for rest and recuperation.

But how could Qin Zitong let Qin Feimo grow without restraint?

Upon receiving the news that Qin Feimo had proclaimed himself Emperor in Jingzhao Prefecture, Qin Zitong was furious! It should be known, Jingzhao Prefecture is the heart of the Great Zhou Dynasty’s economy, not only conveniently accessible, but also the most important transportation hub. Now that it was being controlled by Qin Feimo, how could Qin Zitong give up this piece of fertile land?

He immediately marshaled fifty thousand troops, appointed Jun Ruochen as the Great General, and assigned the positions of Deputy Generals to Lord Zhang and Lord Marquis Huang. In two stages, they launched a revolt against Jingzhao Prefecture.

Qin Yi was appointed by the new Emperor as the Capital Guard General, personally stationed in Hezhong Prefecture. When the news that Jun Ruochen had been made the Great General reached Hezhong Prefecture, Qin Yi didn’t sleep all night.

He was worried about the current situation.

Master Uncle Cheng, who was by his side, seeing his concern, tried to comfort him.

"Although the enemy has fifty thousand troops, our strength is not far inferior. General Yang Dakai has ten thousand soldiers under him. As long as we handle things properly and catch them off guard, we can achieve unexpected results."

"Master Uncle Cheng, you underestimate my dilemma. If someone else were coming, I wouldn’t be so fearful. But it’s my sworn brother, Jun Ruochen, who they’ve sent as the Great General. They clearly want us brothers to fight each other. Their intentions have put me in a difficult situation."

As Qin Yi spoke of this, he couldn’t help but repeatedly shake his head and sigh.

"Just because you know this is their scheme, you mustn’t be softhearted and unable to take action."

Master Uncle Cheng became solemn: "You should understand that since you are good brothers, the other party must have a deep understanding of your ways. They know you very well. If you are soft-hearted, it will not only ruin yourself, but also jeopardize the tens of thousands of soldiers in Hezhong Prefecture!"

These words made Qin Yi silent for a long while, before finally gritting his teeth and nodding!

"Don’t worry, Master Uncle Cheng. I know what I have to do. However, before confronting him, I want to see him alone."

How could he come to terms with it without seeing Jun Ruochen alone?

Master Uncle Cheng was silent for a long while, then at last, he nodded.
