Chapter 302 Long Yi (End of Extra)
Not long after, I received a letter from Long Qi.

He said the young princess had sent a summons and asked me when I would leave.

I watched Chen Qinyu practicing sword in the yard and burned the letter to ashes.

I think the little princess has really decided to start a rebellion.

Yes, everyone around her is crazy, including me, the leader of the Dragon Hidden Guard, whom she has never met.

Even if there is only a tiny possibility, we all hope that she can take that position and clear the names of His Highness and His Majesty.

None of us can accept that two such good people died with a stigma.

For the little princess, for His Highness and His Majesty, I decided to play a game of chess.

After practicing sword, Chen Qinyu ran over happily and asked me if she had made any progress, but I talked to her about her life experience.

Look, how precocious she is. She always remembers that she has a blood feud, just like the little princess. After knowing her life experience, even if she does not have many people under her command, she is willing to find ways to avenge His Highness and His Majesty.

So I asked her, "Yu'er, do you want to avenge the Chen family?"

She looked at me with expectation in her eyes, "Sir, should I seek revenge?"

At that time I just thought that she wanted my affirmation.

I nodded. "The Chen family is full of loyal and brave people. General Chen is a great hero."

Three days later, Chen Bucai "died", and Chen Qinyu and I set out for Wu County together.

Wu County was small and poor, and the people there were not well fed and clothed. Chen Qinyu looked at them with pity in his eyes.

When she first arrived in Wu County, she couldn't sleep all night because she didn't know if she could govern this small county well.

I wrote down the ideas that His Highness and His Majesty had written down when they were traveling, and taught her step by step how to govern a county.

I told her, "When you take that position in the future, you must also manage Daewoo like this."

Wu County is getting better and better, but the smile on her face is getting less and less.

Perhaps it was because she was becoming more aware of what a dare she was about to take.

Sometimes she would be in a daze, and when she looked at me it was as if she was looking at someone else.

I was the same. I treated her as another little princess, taught her the mindset of an emperor, how to govern a country, and gave her all my skills.

When Xiao Shen came to Wu County, I recognized him at a glance. He and Your Highness had almost the same pair of eyes.

It’s a pity that there is only integrity in your highness’ eyes, while his eyes are full of calculation.

He was not sure which order of Emperor Yuwen's son he was, so he sent a letter to Long Er, who was a concubine in the palace.

Long Er is a person who cannot stand being bullied. She once said that she wanted to marry a man who only has eyes for her, like His Highness and His Majesty, a couple for life.

But she eventually entered the palace and became a concubine who fawned on everyone, sharing a man she did not love and who did not love her with many people.

Long Er told me that the man was Emperor Yuwen’s sixth son, Xiao Shen.

Chen Qinyu is worthy of being the one I taught. She saw through Xiao Shen's tricks and almost wanted to kill him in Wu County. However, she deliberately let go of the spy that Xiao Shen had planted in Wu County and only killed his family.

Things were gradually becoming turbulent in the capital.

The young princess also gained a foothold in the northwest, and I also received news that Chen Qianzhi was still alive, but I did not intend to tell Chen Qinyu.

Things have come to this, no matter whether Chen Qingzhi is dead or alive, Chen Qinyu must rebel!

She is waiting for the death knell of the capital, and so am I.

Eventually, Emperor Yuwen died and the Sixth Prince succeeded to the throne.

Everything is ready.

Xiao Shen issued seven imperial edicts in succession, requiring Wu County to provide food and fodder to the Xiao family army.

What a joke! Back then, whether it was the Chen family or the Eastern Palace, they all had the handiwork of the Xiao family, and they also wanted Wu County to provide food and grass. I would rather provide poison directly.

After discussing with me, Chen Qinyu issued a manifesto, revealing the truth about the Battle of Tongguan that year, and directly rebelled!

The result was just as I had imagined. For a woman to become king was simply a huge offense that would go against the will of the world.

But it doesn't matter. The more trouble they make now, the less criticism the little princess will receive in the future.

Holding his breath, Chen Qinyu forced Xiao Zheng and the Yuan family to retreat 200 miles.

The young princess also demonstrated her abilities in the northwest, and she actually conquered the grassland.

Cheng Hai wrote to me saying that the young princess wanted to attack the northwest, and I thought he was joking.

But the little princess told me with facts that Cheng Hai was not the material for telling jokes.

She really conquered the northwest and became king.

With such achievements, and with Chen Qinyu being the first to become king as a woman, the little princess did not receive much criticism.

I was in a very good mood during that time, and even Chen Qinyu asked me if I had encountered any happy things.

I couldn't answer her question and could only make up excuses.

Ever since Chen Qinyu proclaimed himself king, Wu County has actually been in a difficult situation.

The pressure she was under was getting heavier and heavier. I knew that she often woke up from her dreams in the middle of the night and walked back and forth barefoot on the eaves.

When I saw her like this, I thought of the little princess. I didn’t want to see the little princess facing such tremendous pressure.

Chen Qinyu finally learned the news that Chen Qingzhi was still alive. She was very happy and wanted to keep Chen Qingzhi in Wu County, but Chen Qingzhi refused.

He was loyal to the emperor all his life, but I knew who he was truly loyal to, and he would never rebel. Chen Qinyu was very disappointed, and she smashed a lot of things on the day Chen Qingzhi left.

She asked me crying why Chen Qianzhi betrayed her, and she said that Chen Qianzhi was not worthy of being her father.

She said that only if I treated her well, I would be worthy of being her father.

But I know in my heart that I don't deserve it.

I'm a liar and a lunatic.

The Northwest is becoming more stable, while Dayu is becoming more turbulent.

When the noble families in the capital came to seek refuge, Chen Qinyu took their money and then drove them to Zhongzhou and imprisoned them.

The man who was let go by Chen Qinyu gathered a group of refugees, used the tiger's skin as a banner, and actually wanted to take revenge on Chen Qinyu.

I can beat back such a brainless guy with just a flick of my finger.

But I didn't expect that this ignorant guy would actually set his sights on the northwest.

I told Chen Qinyu the news.

I know Chen Qinyu will definitely go to see the little princess, and I also want to see how graceful the little princess is.

On the battlefield, Chen Qinyu and the little princess fought each other.

I watched her lose in the dark, and I was very happy, but also inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

When the five crossbow arrows were shot towards her back, I blocked them.

I never wanted her to die.

After she got back, she flew into a rage, like a mentally ill lunatic.

I watched her torturing herself and almost couldn't help wanting to overturn the chess game.

But it’s not possible. The little princess has not yet taken that position, and the stigma of His Highness and His Majesty has not yet been washed away.

It’s almost there, it’s all going to be over soon.

I proposed to attack the capital, and the Chen family army and the Xiao family army were in a stalemate on both sides of the Qing River.

Chen Qinyu wanted to call me directly several times, but I always told her that it was not the right time and she should wait.

She looked at me with increasing disappointment.

I don't know if she discovered anything, but it doesn't matter anymore.

On the night Xiao Zheng was killed, I was awakened by the explosion on the other side of the river. When I woke up, I found her lying beside my bed, staring at me with empty eyes.

She said, "Sir, are you really my sir?"

I nodded, "Of course, you are my only disciple in this life."

She laughed, and it was a strange laugh. I didn't understand what it meant.

But when I realized it, it was already too late.

The little princess finally fulfilled the wish of all of us. She sat on that position and cleared the grievances of His Highness and His Majesty.

I want to tell Chen Qinyu the truth. She is the girl I raised little by little.

I really…never wanted her to die.

Everything happened so fast.

On the city wall, she asked me, "Sir, are you satisfied with this result?"

I was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer, so I could only bow to her.

It turns out she knew everything, knew how I was using her.

She closed her eyes. I knew her too well. Every time she tried to hold back tears, she would close her eyes like this.

"Go away, go back to your real master." She said in a crying voice.

I don't know how to explain it. When I found out that she actually knew everything, my brain, which I always prided myself on being smart, actually stopped working for a moment.

I looked at her, and saw her running down the city wall with the long sword I gave her on her birthday to fight with Chen Qianzhi.

I followed her silently, trying to stop Chen Qianzhi before he made his move.

Fortunately, Chen Qianzhi did not fight back.

I know she hates Chen Qianzhi, so it's okay to let her vent. She won't really kill him.

However, I never expected that she did not kill Chen Qianzhi, but chose to commit suicide.

I yelled at the top of my lungs and ran over desperately, but in the end I was still a step too late.

I have never been so scared as I was at that moment. I covered her wound with trembling hands and felt the blood flowing out of her was getting colder and colder.

I told her not to be afraid and I would save her.

I called the medical team to save her.

But it's too late.

She looked at me and called me "Ah... Dad..."

I remember when she was young, I taught her that "if a child is not taught well, it is the father's fault."

She looked at me with admiration in her eyes, "Sir, you teach me, so can you be my father?"
