"No, I was just traveling nearby. I came here at the request of my elders to see if General Ding needs any help. I will not interfere with General Ding's business. I just don't want you two to let the peace talks go bad, so I spoke out to stop them."
Ying Huaixia continued, "However, Chang Le and I are old acquaintances. I heard that she is in North City. I wonder if I can meet her?"
Ye Buqi said, "Chang Le is resting and will not be seen for the time being. Just talk to me about the relevant discussions. I can take responsibility."
After saying that, without waiting for Ding Yu to speak, Ye Buqi turned around and left: "Follow me."
Ding Yu was a little anxious.
His real purpose was Chang Le, not really wanting to discuss any cooperation plan.
But Ying Huaixia had already caught up slowly. Ding Yu sent a message to the people who were still outside the city and guarding the city, and followed them.
……
"Ye Buqi?" Qin Shaoji's expression was solemn when he heard the news from Ding Yu. "It is said that the president of the Dragon Scale Association was brought up by the Dragon Emperor himself. Her coming out to defend him shows that the Dragon Clan is determined to protect Chang Le."
"Wait, you said someone from the management committee stopped Ding Yu's recklessness in time. Who?"
Qin Miao said: "It's... Ying Huaixia."
Qin Shaoji glared: "Why is he there?"
Qin Miao said, "I checked. Ying Huaixia had been traveling in the border area between Districts 8 and 9 several months ago. He went to North City only after the Ying family informed him. It doesn't look like he went there on purpose for Chang Le."
"But this is too coincidental."
Qin Miao said: "But his origin has been destroyed, he is a sickly person, what does Chang Le's secrets have to do with him?"
Qin Shaoji's eyes flashed with enthusiasm: "【Fusion】 is a miracle, what if Ying Huaixia is unwilling to become a useless person like this?"
"But...it's been two years, and he hasn't made any moves. He hasn't even taken a look at the things that the Dragon Emperor gave him. It seems like he really has no interest in integrating these things."
Qin Shaoji sneered: "The Ying family kid is very cunning and cannot be judged by common sense. Let Ding Yu keep an eye on him and don't let him do anything bad."
"Yes."
Qin Shaoji came to the roof of the Observatory again.
Soon, Ying Miao yawned and came to the rooftop: "Old Qin, why are you disturbing my beauty sleep so early in the morning?"
"I didn't ask you to come!" Qin Shaoji snorted coldly.
Ying Miao raised her eyebrows and kicked him on the calf: "My kindness has gone to waste, right?"
"You!" Qin Shaoji's face turned red with anger when he saw the shoe prints on his leg, but when he looked at Ying Miao's face, he didn't get angry in the end. He kept his anger to himself and turned his head away without saying anything.
"What a taciturn person! You're clearly here to look for me." Ying Miao touched her arm, which was only wearing a thin velvet cheongsam, and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Qin Shaoji turned around and asked in a deep voice, "Why is Ying Huaixia in North City?"
Surprise flashed in Ying Miao's eyes, and she said, "I don't know."
"How could you not know?"
Ying Miao said unhappily, "Xiao Xia and I haven't been close in the past two years, and I don't control him, so what's so strange about that?
What? Qin Shaoji! Do you suspect that I deliberately sent him to interfere with your Qin family's affairs? Ha! You want to put the blame on me for everything, right? "
Qin Shaoji saw that she didn't look fake and said, "If it really wasn't you, then why did he appear there by chance?"
Ying Miao laughed and said sarcastically, "Everyone who approaches Chang Le wants to merge with him, right? They are all threatening you, ha! Old Qin, I remind you, it's not too late to stop now."
Qin Shaoji's eyes became sharp: "I don't understand what you are saying."
Ying Miao met his gaze: "How many years have we known each other? From when we were young to now, it's almost a hundred years, Qin Shaoji, a full hundred years, I know your methods very well.
Ding Yu's visit was just a cover. You wanted him to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Chang Le! If you control Chang Le, all the fusion and golden medicine will naturally fall into your hands.
But Ding Yu alone can't do all this. Are you still contacting those people in secret?"
Qin Shaoji remained silent.
Ying Miao already knew the answer and smiled bitterly: "Brother Qin! Have you ever thought about what will happen to the Qin family if others know what you have done?"
Qin Shaoji emphasized: "Middle Earth cannot give up the Qin family!"
Ying Miao said helplessly: "What the Middle Earth needs is the ability of [Sun and Moon Shining], not a certain family! If it really comes to that, they have plenty of ways to preserve [Sun and Moon Shining] and uproot the Qin family!"
Qin Shaoji had no rebuttal, his face gloomy: "But if there is no fusion, the Qin family will decline sooner or later!"
"The cycle of rise and fall is the norm."
"But I can't just watch the Qin family weaken!"
Ying Miao hesitated to speak, and finally let out a long sigh:
"It's up to you. I'm at the end of my life now. If I don't do something, there won't be any trace left.
After Xiao Xia got into trouble, I no longer have the energy I had when I was young, nor do I have those ambitions, and I don’t want to shoulder too much.
But I know you can't let go, so I won't persuade you.
However, you must remember that you are first and foremost the head of the Middle-earth Administration Council and the leader of hundreds of millions of people in Middle-earth. Don’t let obsession and desire devour your human nature.”
"Brother Qin, I hope that in the end, we can go on peacefully." Ying Miao said with a smile.
Qin Shaoji was silent for a long time, and suddenly took off his coat and put it on Ying Miao, hummed softly, and whispered: "You are old, take care of yourself... Uh!"
He let go of his hand and took a step back, but a pair of hands grabbed his collar and pulled him forward violently, and the delicate body was pressed into his arms, causing his body to freeze and his ears to buzz.
His hands were suspended above Ying Miao's shoulders. He tried several times but ultimately did not let them fall. He clenched his fists and hung them at both sides of his body.
The old face had lost the traces of time and turned into a young and handsome face. The gray hair turned into thick black semi-long hair. The hunched back straightened up and wrapped the woman's body.
Strong emotions swirled in his eyes, but were finally suppressed in his eyes, and he dared not show it.
"I'm sorry..." Ying Miao suddenly spoke in a trembling voice.
Qin Shaoji closed his eyes as if he was burned by the flames.
“If I had understood back then that desire and power cannot outweigh sincerity, perhaps we wouldn’t have come to this point today.” Ying Miao hugged him tightly, whispering her guilt and apology.
Qin Shaoji let her hold him in his arms, with a bitter smile and indifference in his eyes that Ying Miao could not see.
It's too late, Ami. It's too late.
When you chose to abandon me, the old Qin Shaoji was already dead. What is alive now is just a shell carrying obsession.
Ying Miao suddenly looked up and looked at him with red eyes: "Don't do anything stupid, even if you are obsessed with [Fusion], listen to my advice, don't be impatient."
Qin Shaoji's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to those of Qin family's ancestor Qin Xuan, but they are tougher, and his face without a smile appears cold and distant.
"Let's go back."
After Qin Shaoji finished speaking, he gently pushed the person in his arms away and turned to leave.
After taking three steps forward, he turned back into the old man with a hunched back and wrinkles all over his face.
Ying Miao's eyes were red as she looked at him tenderly as he left. After his figure had long disappeared from sight, she suddenly restrained her expression, all the warmth and tenderness disappeared, leaving only a calm and numb indifference.
She murmured in a low voice: "Brother Qin, I have already advised you."
She glanced at her coat, pulled it off, rolled it up and held it in her arms, leaned against the railing, and opened the communication.
Communication is connected.
"It's me." Ying Miao's eyes were gentle and her tone was gentle.
The person on the other side didn't speak.
Ying Miao was not annoyed, and said in a gentle voice: "I have met Qin Shaoji. He is indeed secretly colluding with those people. This time he will use them to deal with Chang Le. But I am not sure what specific means he will use."
No one spoke over there. Ying Miao kept muttering, "Do whatever you want. I'll take care of everything. But you must pay attention to safety and don't let yourself get affected. The north will soon be in chaos. Why don't you go back first..."
The call was disconnected.
Ying Miao sighed dejectedly, as if he had aged a lot in an instant.
She lowered her eyes to look at the clothes in her arms and laughed at herself: "Retribution."
She abandoned her lover in exchange for status and power, but in her old age she lost her family because of status and power.
Desire is poison that drives people crazy.
Qin Shaoji is not the only one who can't go back.
Ying Miao was silent for a long time, finally calmed down and made another call.
Gu Lianghan's voice came from that side.
Ying Miao said: "Xiao Gu, let Zhumen Base and District 8 prepare."
Gu Lianghan over there looked stern.
Let Zhumen Base and District 8 prepare at the same time, there is only one target that needs support - District 9!
"Thank you for your reminder, I understand." Gu Lianghan said.
Ying Miao didn't say anything else and hung up.
……
Ying Huaixia hung up the phone and walked out. When he greeted Ye Buqi, his expression was still a bit annoyed and cold.
