Chapter 1238: Chapter 1238: Replanning
Looking at Ge Lun’s fanciful yet smug deanor, Ye You almost unleashed his most powerful magic skill. He held back repeatedly, and finally turned around and left without a word.
Ge Lun watched Ye You’s back, knowing he hadn’t agreed to his conditions. The pleased expression on his face gradually darkened.
"Father," Ya Ling ran out from behind the screen, worriedly asking, "Will he agree?"
"Hmph, our Qing Ming Family has given so much for him. I’m willing to stake even my life for him. If he doesn’t agree, don’t bla ," Ge Lun replied sowhat angrily.
"Father, is this really okay?" Ya Ling, usually fearless, inexplicably felt uneasy.
These days, every family has experienced major events and suffered more or less. The Qing Ming Family was no exception, with heavy casualties and rivers of blood. This was a scene that Ya Ling, raised in comfort, had never seen or imagined.
Ge Lun took Ya Ling’s hand, gently comforting her, "My dear daughter, don’t worry. I will make sure Ye You marries you. Our Qing Ming Family has already given birth to two Saint Queens, why can’t there be a third?"
Hearing this, the worry and unease in Ya Ling’s heart gradually dissipated. Marrying Ye You, the most noble, powerful, and handso prince of the Demon Sacred Realm, had been her dream since childhood!
If it’s possible to achieve a dream, what’s a little sacrifice?
"Father, I’ll listen to you," Ya Ling said sweetly, coquettishly shaking Ge Lun’s arm.
Ge Lun smiled proudly. Ya Ling was his only child. He had to ensure her future and make her the most noble woman.
But after Ya Ling left, Ge Lun’s smile disappeared, and his brows knitted into a knot. He was actually a bit uneasy about negotiating conditions with Ye You, but once words are spoken, they can’t be taken back.
Deep down, Ge Lun didn’t want to beco an enemy of Ye You. Now, he could only hope that Ye You would consider his words carefully and make a decision beneficial to both of them.
To facilitate Ye You’s coordination and command of the entire battlefield, every city had prepared accommodations for him.
Ye You stayed in his room for three days and nights without leaving or eating until Qin Sisi and Yun Wang rushed over from Scholar City.
Ge Lun’s antics ca too suddenly. The deploynt of Seven Pearl City’s army at the border between Scholar City and Divine Dog City was incomplete. Ye You had to rush to Crystal City alone to find Ge Lun, while Qin Sisi, Yun Wang, and others stayed in Scholar City to handle the deploynt of Seven Pearl City’s army.
Worried about Ye You and the situation in Crystal City, once the deploynt was mostly complete, Qin Sisi and Yun Wang rushed over, only to find that Ye You had locked himself in a room for three days; the guards outside responsible for taking care of him were terrified.
Qin Sisi thought for a mont and knew that the negotiation between Ye You and Ge Lun must have gone poorly. She walked to Ye You’s door, gently knocked, and said kindly, "Ye You, it’s . Are you in there?"
After a mont’s wait, the door opened from inside, and Ye You appeared at the doorway.
Seeing him, Qin Sisi couldn’t help but feel a pang in her heart. Ye You looked exhausted and sowhat haggard after just a few days.
"Are you okay?" Qin Sisi asked with concern.
Ye You smiled at her, took her hand, and pulled her into the room. Qin Sisi turned to give Yun Wang a reassuring look, then closed the door behind her.
"You really haven’t left the room for three days and nights? And haven’t eaten anything?" Once inside, Qin Sisi couldn’t wait to ask, raising her hand to touch Ye You’s forehead.
Ye You held her hands and smiled, saying, "Don’t worry about , I’m fine. Once a magic level reaches a certain height, not eating for a long ti doesn’t matter."
"Then what have you been doing these three days? You look so tired." Hearing Ye You’s explanation, Qin Sisi was slightly relieved, but still worried.
Ye You led her to a table and said, "I’ve been drawing maps."
"Drawing what maps?" Qin Sisi asked, surprised.
Ye You’s expression beca serious, and he said gravely, "Ge Lun refuses to send troops to besiege Tian Xiaozi. As the clan leader of the Qing Ming Family, if I rashly kill him, the Qing Ming Family might resent . With a major battle imminent, I don’t want to get distracted by him, so the border area between Crystal City and Divine Dog City needs to be re-strategized."
Qin Sisi’s expression beca solemn. Having each family handle the borders within their domain with Divine Dog City was the best siege strategy, but since Ye You had to re-strategize, it was clear the talks with Ge Lun completely fell through.
"What conditions did Ge Lun propose? Can’t you agree to them first?" Qin Sisi pressed on. Although the Qing Ming Family had suffered severe losses from Tian Xiaozi, they were not yet incapable of fighting. Ge Lun must have ulterior motives.
Ye You was silent for a mont, then said, "Sisi, don’t ask anymore. The conditions he proposed are impossible for
to agree to. Let’s not bring this up again. Now, take a look at the strategic maps I’ve drawn."
Qin Sisi was puzzled. Ye You had always been open with her, so why wouldn’t he reveal Ge Lun’s conditions? Could it be related to her?
But since Ye You didn’t want to talk about it, she didn’t inquire further and started looking at Ye You’s newly drawn strategic maps.
With the Qing Ming Family unwilling to fight, the siege task at the border between Crystal City and Divine Dog City fell to the Panhu family. However, due to the previous migration, the number of warriors in the Panhu family was relatively small.
Ye You ticulously analyzed the environntal conditions of the area. So places with harsh natural conditions could be left without a siege, as it would be difficult to escape from those areas.
After excluding areas with harsh natural conditions, the warriors of the Panhu family were evenly distributed along the border. Coincidentally, when all the warriors of the Panhu family lined up, they filled the entire border, as if drawing a huge "one" character on the map of the Demon Sacred Realm.
Qin Sisi pondered, "There are too few people; it could be very brutal."
With the Panhu family’s loyalty, they would undoubtedly give their all to complete the tasks Ye You assigned, fighting to the bitter end.
Ye You sighed, "This is the only way. Moreover, while attacking, we need to guard against Ge Lun’s treacherous sches, such as attacking us from behind. Being attacked from both sides would put us at a huge disadvantage."
Qin Sisi furrowed her brows, "This will be even more difficult. Handling both ends might lead to neither being done well."
Ye You nodded, "That’s what I think too, which is why I need soone to help contain the Qing Ming Family. I’ve already figured out who is most suitable for this task."
Qin Sisi thought briefly and then smiled faintly, "I thought of it too."
