Chapter 702: Chapter 701 Thank You for Your Generosity!_1

Jun Ruochen’s heart trembled uncontrollably, he forced himself to calm down, and managed to smile.

"Today, I have troubled Mr. Qin."

Qin Yi seemed to not notice his momentary daze and casually gestured his hand: "Big Brother Jun, please!"

Only then did they both enter the pavilion and took their seats.

Only then did Jun Ruochen realize that the wine was already warmed, the dishes were arranged neatly, and their colours were aesthetically pleasing. If it wasn’t for his current state of mind, he would have praised them.

The page boy quickly came forward and poured the wine.

Qin Yi was the first to raise his cup: "Big Brother Jun, I remember the countless times that you have assisted my wife, Pan’er, and me. Without your help, our graves would possibly be overgrowm by weeds by now. This cup is to honour your kindness over the years."

After saying this, he tilted his head back and drained the cup.

Jun Ruochen held his cup, but did not drink.

"You’re too kind, the past is gone. We don’t have to bring it up!"

If he had known it would come to this, he would have never taken this step. What would he have done though? Jun Ruochen’s eyes were glazed over, and he couldn’t help but remember the woman who was full of confidence when they first met!

If he had known it would come to this, even if it cost him his life, he would have taken her under his wings and it would have never come to this...

"Big Brother Jun, why aren’t you drinking?"

Qin Yi raised an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming with an indescribable meaning: "Big Brother Jun must know Pan’er’s capabilities. If I truly intended to poison you, I certainly wouldn’t have put it in this wine."

This statement made Jun Ruochen feel at a loss!

Yes!

Considering Su Pan’er’s superb medical skills, if Qin Yi truly wanted to poison him, he had several opportunities and certainly wouldn’t need to poison the wine.

"I’m just reminiscing about the past, it’s a bit sentimental!"

After saying this, Jun Ruochen tilted his head back and drained his cup.

Qin Yi laughed, didn’t argue further about the subject, put down his cup, and allowed the page boy to refill it.

"Big Brother Jun, let’s drink another cup!"

After they had drunk three cups, they both put their cups down. Qin Yi waved his hand and dismissed his people. Understanding that the three cups of wine had passed and that Qin Yi wanted to talk, Jun Ruochen also sent his page boy away.

When only they were left in the pavilion, Qin Yi slowly collected his smile.

Jun Ruochen was inwardly alert, the main issue was coming!

"Big Brother Jun, are you upset that I killed General Cao?"

Jun Ruochen shook his head.

"We stand on opposite sides, to you, he is an enemy general. Killing him is a great achievement, you had every right to."

"Wrong! I killed him for you, Big Brother Jun. Otherwise, as long as I could defend the river, it would have been a great achievement. There was no need for me to make this unnecessary move."

Sitting upright, Qin Yi spoke at a leisurely pace: "Doesn’t Big Brother Jun still understand why I did what I did?"

Caught off guard, Jun Ruochen kept quiet in his embarrassment.

"You simply wanted to see a rift formed between my family, the Jun Family, and His Majesty. That’s why you made this divisive move!"

"Again, wrong!"

Qin Yi shook his head again and when he saw Jun Ruochen speak, he hurriedly stopped him: "Big Brother Jun, don’t rush. Listen to me. Why did His Majesty send you to the riverside? At its root, isn’t it because we’re like brothers and understand each other the most? You don’t dispute this, right?"

Jun Ruochen nodded naturally.

The fact that he and Qin Yi were like brothers was not a secret in court. His Majesty had even personally instructed him about this before he set off. It was hard for him to ignore this.

"Since Qin Zitong knew that we were like brothers, but still sent you to fight us, it indicates that even before you set out, Qin Zitong had prepared two outcomes for you."

Qin Yi held up two fingers: "The first, naturally, is that you kill me, which would be a great achievement. Once you return to Shengjing, your rank would naturally rise. However, in the long run, for glory and wealth, you, Jun Ruochen, are able to kill even your own sworn brother. In the future, anyone who wants to seek refuge with you would have to weigh their own worth, and think thrice about it."

This made Jun Ruochen glare at him deeply, though he didn’t respond. He had already considered this point.

Qin Yi smiled and continued: "The second, is when I kill you. You are the heir to the Jun Family. If I kill you, it means I’m determined to fight the Jun Family to death. This also means being enemies with several other aristocratic families. In this way, Qin Zitong would not have to do anything more than sway public opinion. These actions not only give him the advantage, they also cut off the wings of the aristocrats and make them willingly submit to him. Big Brother Jun, knowing this is a trap, do you really plan to jump into it?"

Jun Ruochen was silent for a long time before he sighed.

"As a subject, it’s been known since ancient times that when your lord demands your death, you must die. How His Majesty is, it’s not appropriate for me to judge. However, you did get one thing right. Whether you kill General Cao or not, the result would have been the same. His Majesty wants to punish me, there are countless reasons. He doesn’t lack this one."

"Since you understand this key point, why do you still want to go back to Shengjing? Wouldn’t it be better to..."

"Hold on!"

Jun Ruochen suddenly interrupted Qin Yi’s unfinished words and stood up: "Today, you invited me to drink together, indicating that you treated me, Jun Ruochen as a brother from your heart in the past. I’m very grateful for this. However, my home is in Shengjing, my roots are there. We have different paths and cannot plan together! There’s no need for more conversation."

Qin Yi squinted at him, and after a long while, he laughed!

"I sincerely hope that you can forgive me and work with me on great matters. Qin Zitong is a treacherous man and definitely not a wise monarch. You..."

"Your words should be advice for you. The Little Emperor is only nine years old, and you are like a floating duckweed without roots. The building will fall, isn’t your effort futile?"

Neither of them were able to persuade the other!

At this stagmate, there was sudden commotion outside the pavilion. Old Cheng entered the pavilion with a look of indignation, glared at Jun Ruochen, then whispered something into Qin Yi’s ear.

Qin Yi, somewhat surprised, glanced at Jun Ruochen: "I never expected that you would still be so wise at this point!"

"Certainly!"

Jun Ruochen remained unperturbed: "I’m simply going with the flow!"

"What a great phrase, ’going with the flow!’ Ha ha... well put! Or should I say, do you think with your mere few hundred soldiers, you can hold me, Qin Yi back?"

Qin Yi suddenly leaned forward, a cold light flashed in his hand, and the long sword in his hand was pressed against Jun Ruochen’s neck.

"Aren’t you afraid that before these people break in, my sword will have already taken your life?"

"If that is indeed the case, then I, Jun Ruochen, have died for a righteous cause! In fact, I should thank you for your help in this matter. I express my gratitude in advance!"

Jun Ruochen laughed lightly and made a salute in response.
