Chapter 30: The North End of the Snowstorm

"Forget it, let him go!"

Bai Di looked at the struggling Gong Ziyu, suddenly his eyebrows moved, he waved his hand and said with a bitter smile.

He sat on his dragon chair with his head bowed, looking at the retreating figure of his only son. Suddenly, his heart was filled with vicissitudes of life, and he looked like a decrepit old man.

Since the death of the late emperor, the bones and blood of the royal family in the north have been exhausted. Even his two legitimate sons, one older and one younger, and three princesses were all killed by others in the bloody royal civil strife.

Only this bastard, Bai Yu, who had been away from home for many years and who kept saying that he wanted to sever the father-son relationship with him, was left.

But now he is also his only son. The important responsibility of Beiduan Country will one day be handed over to his hands. However, his hatred for himself has never been wiped away by time.

Every time he stood in front of him, he was always arrogant and his words were disrespectful. But he could only give up! What's more, Bai Yu became like this, presumably because of his sins when he was young.

It is the father's fault to raise him without educating him. Only when he grows old can he repent of his past.

"Your Majesty! Gongzi Yu broke into the prison and released Na Guan Shanyue!"

An imperial guard came hurriedly to report.

"That's it! Let him go!"

Bai Di slumped on the dragon chair and treasured couch, and suddenly felt that the huge Tianji Hall was empty, and the cold north wind was filling his heart.

After a while, a young man's voice broke the cold silence of Tianji Hall.

"Father! I have brought Yue'er to see you! Yue'er and I are in love! I sincerely ask Father to grant us a marriage!"

Bai Yu excitedly pulled Guan Shanyue all the way into the Tianji Palace. He heard his voice before seeing him.

Bai Di actually nodded in agreement.

Bai Yu and Guan Shanyue were both stunned on the spot! They didn't expect him to be so cheerful! Bai Yu had even thought of the tricks for a life-and-death fight! The worst he could do was to die together with him!

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you say thank you?"

A rare smile appeared on Bai Di's face, he raised his hand and said.

"My son, Bai Yu, thanks my father for his kindness!"

Bai Yu was as happy as a child and thanked him.

"Yu'er, my father hasn't seen you smiling so happily for a long time. My father is getting old, and sooner or later this country will be in your hands! With the help of the relevant generals, you will be able to bring peace to the world! Strengthen my north end!"

Bai Di smiled happily and said.

"To bring peace to the world? Father, you are referring to Jingguo?"

Bai Yu was stunned and asked.

"Well, does my son have ambitions to conquer the world?"

Bai Di raised his chin slightly and fixed his gaze on Bai Yu's face.

"Jingguo is my mother's homeland. I'm afraid, I'm afraid I can't..."

Bai Yu hesitated.

"My father, I will give you an opportunity now. Lead your troops to the south and take the capital directly! If you want to marry our top general in the north, you must have some military merit! Otherwise, if my father passes the throne to you a hundred years later, I'm afraid it won't be possible."

It’s hard to convince the public!”

Bai Di smiled.

It turns out that he had this wishful thinking! As expected, ginger is still hotter with age!

Bai Yu suddenly felt like an ant on a hot pot, and a layer of fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

He looked at Bai Di, who was aloft, and then at Guan Shanyue, who was still wearing prison uniform and holding hands tightly. Her haggard face made people's hearts throb and ache.

"How about it? Have you thought about it clearly? Either you agree to attack Jingguo, Guan Shanyue will be released, and your father will hold a wedding for you after the victory! Or you can let go now, and Guan Shanyue will continue to stay in her prison.

Go! The death penalty is inevitable!"

Bai Di returned to his usual aggressive nature.

"Me! I have another plan!"

Bai Yu pleaded.

"Oh? Say it!"

Bai Di frowned.

"The Huangsun Road at the north end has arrived at Shangjing City by Chengfeng. He came this time as an envoy for the Dajing Peace Conference. The previously agreed marriage between the two countries has collapsed. We at the north end will inevitably break our trust. Can we do it this time?

How about making some concessions to restore the people's support? Since the Emperor has the ambition to dominate the world, why not slowly pursue it?"

Bai Yu crossed his arms and walked in the hall, bravely advancing to remonstrate.

The blood of Dajing and Beiduan was flowing on his body, and he did not want to see the two countries fighting each other. What's more, he also agreed to Lu Chengfeng. Out of faith and for the sake of peace for the people of the world, he had to mediate.

"Since the two countries have already started a war! Why bother to plan it? On the battlefield, either you will die! Or I will die! My son! You are still too young! Aren't you, General Guan!"

Bai Di disapproved after hearing this and smiled.

Guan Shanyue wriggled her lips a few times, but finally made no sound.

"Father! Can you hear me out?"

Bai Yu became anxious again when he heard Bai Di smiled and asked about his sweetheart. He was afraid that Guan Shanyue would accidentally be guilty of his words, so he quickly interrupted.

"I have a plan. Our army has captured Yunzhou! With our sword pointed at Jinghua City, we are just around the corner! Why don't we ask them to swear an oath from Jingguo and obediently cede Yunzhou to us! At the same time, we offer millions of gold, thousands of stones of food and grass as a gift.

In exchange for our armistice! Our army will stop temporarily! We can also replenish our troops and fight again next year!"

Bai Yu suggested.

"The guilty minister seconded the motion! It is already a cold winter, and our army is short of food and grass. I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the consumption of a protracted war after a long journey! However, they are in Dajing, sitting in the richest land in the world, with abundant products, fat soldiers and horses, and good food.

The reserves are sufficient! Gong Ziyu's plan is actually a way to slow down the troops, and it can also strengthen our reputation in the north. It is actually the best strategy!"

Guan Shanyue agreed.

"Okay! I'll do as you say! Let my son take care of this matter!"

Bai Di laughed, his face filled with the joy of an old father finally seeing his son grow up.

"Guan Shanyue still needs to be temporarily detained in the sky prison! If you finish this matter, I will let her out! I will pardon her crime and marry you! That's it! You two, get out!"

Bai Di waved his sleeves and ordered decisively.

"Father, father..."

Bai Yu was still pleading, but he only saw Bai Di's back walking away.

"Yue'er, believe me! No matter what, I must save you!"

Bai Yu held Guan Shanyue tightly in his arms and said with tears in his eyes.

"I believe in you! Senior brother! I have always believed in you!"

Guan Shanyue also burst into tears in Bai Yu's arms.

"It's just that, senior brother, with Nalu Chengfeng's temperament, how can you possibly follow your plan?"

Guan Shanyue choked with sobs and asked.

"In order to save you, I can't care so much anymore!"

Bai Yu murmured.

"Senior brother, do you want to kill first and then show off? Then if you ride the wind together, wouldn't you..."

Guan Shanyue continued to ask.

"Yue'er, let's not talk about others for now! I'm very confused right now, and I just want to hug you for a while!"
