Chapter 281 Tuoba Jun comes in person

The reason why Song Qingwan kept Song Chengfeng and didn't take any action against him was for the poor child Song Changqing.

No matter what, Song Changqing was raised by Song Qingwan, and she really couldn't bear to let a disabled child be born in an incomplete family.

If Song Chengfeng could stay well-behaved and stop making trouble, Song Qingwan would still be willing to let him off.

Therefore, when Chunya told Song Qingwan everything that had happened between Song Chengcheng and Song Changwei during this period, Song Qingwan just smiled and did not comment.

"Let them be. It would not be a good thing if there were no fights in the court."

"Miss, do you mean that Mr. Song will not suffer any loss?"

"Chun Ya, do you think Song Changwei will fall into the hands of Song Cheng Chengfeng?" Song Qingwan asked with a smile.

Chunya tilted her head and thought for a long time, then shook her head hesitantly.

"I think Mr. Song is really smart."

"That's right, don't worry, if Song Changwei can't even defeat Song Chengfeng, then there is no need for us in Prince Huai's Mansion to use him."

Chunya nodded as if she understood, since the young lady said there was no need to worry, she must have her reasons.

Thousands of miles away in the capital of Dongyue State, under a big tree in a villa, two men were playing chess.

The two men were holding black and white pieces respectively, and they looked relaxed, but their tense bodies betrayed their inner feelings.

"Sir Shen is indeed worthy of being the Minister of the Dali Temple of the Great Saint Dynasty, who is both civil and military. I am willing to admit that I am inferior to him."

"The Third Prince has given in."

"Hahaha…"

Shen Jingyi calmly used the last chess piece to block Tuoba Jun's way out, with a light smile on his face.

Tuoba Jun waved to the servant beside him, and the servant hurried forward to take the chessboard away.

While the servants were clearing the chessboard, Tuoba Jun glanced at the face of the young man in front of him inconspicuously. He was stunned for a moment and was slightly surprised.

Shen Jingyi in front of him did not show any smug look because of winning the game of chess against him, which was somewhat beyond Tuoba Jun's expectations.

Tuoba Jun had long heard of the name of Shen Jingyi, the young marquis of the Shen family in the Great Sheng Dynasty.

According to legend, this young Marquis Shen was only in his twenties, and was quite talented in both civil and military affairs.

Initially, Tuoba Jun didn't believe it. How powerful could a young man in his early twenties be?

During this period of time, Zhao Huaijin was clearly in the upper hand in the war with Tuoba Qi. After asking around, Tuoba Jun learned that Zhao Huaijin had hired a new military advisor, who was Shen Jingyi.

This aroused his strong curiosity about this young man, so on the first day Shen Jingyi arrived at the capital of Dongyue Kingdom, Tuoba Jun wanted to win him over.

Unexpectedly, no matter what methods he used to threaten or entice Shen Jingyi, he remained unmoved.

That's why Tuoba Jun came in person today, intending to meet the legendary young marquis of the Shen family.

"I used to think those rumors were untrue, but today I met Lord Shen in person and found out that he is even more powerful than the legends say."

"Shen Jingyi is just a commoner, and he doesn't deserve such an evaluation from the prince."

"I heard that you were originally appointed as the Minister of the Dali Temple, but were dismissed by the foolish Emperor of the Great Saint Dynasty. What a waste of talent."

Tuoba Jun shook his head with some regret, as if he felt very sympathetic towards Shen Jingyi's situation.

Shen Jingyi's face remained calm, he curled his lips slightly and said calmly,

"Third Prince is indeed well-informed. You are more capable than I thought."

There was obvious irony in this sentence. The fact that Shen Jingyi was dismissed from his post was only known to people in the Great Sage Capital.

Tuoba Jun was thousands of miles away in the capital of Dongyue State, but he knew so much about Shen Jingyi's dismissal. What else could it be other than the information delivered by the Zhong family?

On the surface, Shen Jingyi's words were praising Tuoba Jun for his great powers, but in fact he was deliberately slandering his shameless behavior of casually spying on the political affairs of other countries.

Tuoba Jun naturally understood the meaning behind Shen Jingyi's words. He touched his nose awkwardly and changed the subject directly.

"Lord Shen has been in Dongyue for some time. I wonder how the conversation with my father went?"

"To be honest, His Majesty has only met with me twice and avoided answering questions about the peace talks between the two countries. I was confused about what the Emperor of Dongyue meant."

"I would like to ask Shen Daida what he wants to discuss with me."

"Your Highness, do you want to negotiate a truce with Mr. Shen on behalf of the Emperor?"

Shen Jingyi was still smiling, but his eyes seemed to contain a hint of disdain.

Tuoba Jun was somewhat hurt. Although he now had the greatest influence among all the princes in Dongyue Kingdom, in his father's eyes, Tuoba Jun would always be the least presentable one.

Just because his mother was of low status, Tuoba Jun and his siblings were also ignored. Thinking of this, Tuoba Jun silently clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves into fists.

"Of course I don't have the qualifications. I'm sure Lord Shen also understands my admiration for you."

"It is my blessing that the prince likes me."

"Then I will make it clear. I hope to cooperate with you to conquer the world together. What do you think, Lord Shen?"

"Together we want to seize the world? It turns out that the Third Prince has such great ambitions."

"The Emperor of Dongyue is not capable enough, and he has no one to inherit the throne. I believe in the saying that the competent should take the throne. You and I both have the ability, so why should we be inferior to others?"

Tuoba Jun said this with a face full of grief and indignation. If Shen Jingyi had not been so deep-minded, he would have been deceived by him.

"Shen has no great ambitions. He just wants to help the prince win the battle and return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Shen Jingyi stood up, put his hands behind his back and looked at Tuoba Jun meaningfully.

The meaning is very clear. Shen Jingyi is only loyal to Zhao Huaijin, and will help him defeat your Dongyue and then go home.

Tuoba Jun's smile froze on his face. His eyes gradually dimmed and he stared sharply at Shen Jingyi in front of him. It took him a long time before he spoke.

"Lord Shen, please don't speak too soon. I don't believe there is any man in this world who doesn't love power! You have been the Minister of the Dali Temple and a Marquis. How can you be willing to be a military advisor with no status for the rest of your life?"

"Your Highness is wrong. Not everyone takes power and status so seriously. Shen has died once, so he naturally knows what to do and what not to do."

After Shen Jingyi finished speaking, he stretched out a hand and made a gesture of invitation, and his intention to see the guest off was obvious.

Tuoba Jun felt a little embarrassed. He had postponed many things in order to meet Shen Jingyi. Was he going to return empty-handed?

"I'm curious why you do this. Is it so that you can live in peace?"

"It's for one person."
