Riding the Pheonix Chapter 711: Ambition

Mingwei was amazed.

Yang Shu was also extremely surprised.

He said: "Awan, it seems that I should look at you with a new look. How did you come up with these words?"

Awan was a little embarrassed: "I just thought of it when I was reading the travel notes. For us, it is too far away and separated by seas of sand and mountains, so it is not worth exploring. But for them, it is It’s a treasure land.”

Yang Shu was full of admiration: "Thank you for thinking about it. If I hadn't heard you say it like this, I would have thought that the opposition between each other is unsolvable. Now that you say it, the world seems to be different!"

Ming smiled: "No wonder Su Tu's attitude is so different. I'm still thinking, how could someone as ambitious as him let go of hatred just because of feelings? It turns out you found it for him There is another way to realize our ambitions, and it is much more feasible than this one."

After sighing, Yang Shu asked her: "Then when will you go back with us? It is winter now, the road is not easy to walk, but it will be too long to wait for the snow to melt."

The smile on Ah Wan's face dropped.

Mingwei realized something was wrong and asked her: "You don't want to leave?"

Yang Shu was angry: "Don't talk nonsense! Why doesn't Ah Wan want to leave? What's the good of being with these barbarians who smell like sheep? Ah Wan, let's go home!"

Awan didn’t answer for a long time.

Until Yang Shu couldn't help but urge again: "Awan!"

She raised her head, looked at the singing and dancing herdsmen, and said, "Your Highness, I want to stay."

Yang Shu stared at her in disbelief for a while, then lowered his voice and said: "Are you crazy? What's wrong with coming back with me? Being so far away from home, with a group of herdsmen who can't read Chinese characters, Don’t you feel pain? They are completely different people from you! Ah Wan, can you go back with me?"

After speaking, his voice softened, even pleading.

Ah Wan's eyes flashed, but she shook her head firmly: "Your Highness, listen to me."

She lowered her head, calmed down her mood, and said: "I am very lucky that the eldest princess rescued me and spent these more than ten years with you. Looking back on our time together, although I am very happy, there are always Sorry. Who am I when I go back with you? I am Ah Wan, the maid of the King of Yue. Of course, I am also in charge of the hidden secrets of the Prince of Yue. I can barely be said to be the number two person in the palace. However, despite holding so many hidden secrets Although I have power, I cannot say my name out loud or say who I am. I am the daughter of Prince Liuyang, I am the great-grandson of Emperor Taizu, and I am Jiang Wan."

"..." After a long silence, Yang Shu said firmly, "I can promise you that one day, I will let you find your name and let you have the freedom and pride you deserve!"

"I know I will." Ah Wan looked at him, with tears in her eyes, but she smiled, "I know His Highness will do it. One day, I will restore the title of County Lord. I could even be granted the title of princess or princess, but that’s not what I want. Your Highness, I’m sorry, my ambition is too great. If I go back, the Yue Palace may no longer be able to accommodate me.”

"Ah Wan!" Yang Shu said with some urgency, "If you want me to tell you, as long as I can give it to you, I will give it to you!"

The tears hanging in Awan's eyes finally fell.

"Your Highness, do you know? For a long time, I didn't know what I should do. When I followed you, I could only take your ambition as my ambition and your goal as my goal. At the beginning, I I hate Miss Ming very much, do you know why? Because she lives the way I want. I want to have my own ambitions, I want to have my own goals, I--I want to have myself."

"Awan..." Yang Shu was finally speechless, and there were tears in his eyes. He finally knew that he...really couldn't keep her.

He stretched out his hand, and Ah Wan rested her forehead on his shoulder, letting her tears fall on his clothes.

"I'm sorry, brother."

……

A few days later, they stood on a hillside not far away, watching the people from the Snow Wolf Department enter King Kelan City.

The warriors galloped wildly on their war horses, waving the king's flag.

The women and children hugged Ah Wan and shouted the name "Dage" loudly.

Yang Shu was very happy, but also very disappointed.

He always thought that he protected Ah Wan under his wings, but only now did he realize that she had grown strong wings and could fly high into the sky, face the wind and waves, and even protect others.

"Losing the Royal City of Kelan is only the first step." Ah Wan explained to him in detail yesterday, "Kelan is small and the land is not fertile enough, but it has rich mineral veins and is a hub connecting the east and west. Beihai It's getting colder and colder, and it's no longer suitable for living. The tribes can settle here and plan for the next step. I think that if we manage this place well, the scattered Hu tribes will also come over. In the past few months, we have It has already accepted many small tribes like this. In the defeat two years ago, they lost too many cattle and sheep, and now they are living in dire straits. In addition, Qi State is becoming more and more powerful, and many places with abundant water and grass have been destroyed by Qi State. The country’s herdsmen have taken over.”

Yang Shu finally understood: "No wonder we didn't encounter any barbarian tribes on the road when we came here."

Awan smiled and said: "I specially asked people to bring those scattered small tribes here~IndoMTL.com~ If we want to open up a new kingdom in the west, population is the thing we lack most. Wait until we arrive in Kelan Steady on our feet, we continued westward. I made an agreement with Sutu that fighting is his business and construction is mine. I will teach them to read, write, weave, build houses... things that a kingdom should have, We all need it."

At this point, she winked playfully: "When they get used to speaking the Central Plains dialect, writing the Central Plains characters, and thinking about problems in the Central Plains way, that will be a new Daqi. The two countries are separated by mountains and sand. The sea and the land are so vast, who would be willing to invade whom?"

Mingwei poured a bowl of milk tea and raised it in front of her.

Awan was stunned: "You..."

Ming smiled and said: "You don't have to envy me anymore. Congratulations, you have found yourself."

Awan also smiled, raised the silver bowl, and drank a drink with her.

"I finally understand what you once said to Duofu. I am so happy to be able to do something that I think is meaningful."

……

Watching Ah Wan enter the city, Yang Shu said: "I asked her to learn these things before, just hoping that she would be stronger than those women. Even if she is of low status, even if one day I can no longer protect her, she can protect herself. Which I can imagine that one day, she will use these skills to do such a thing. Thinking about it carefully, it is really a drink and a peck, it is not predestined."

Mingwei also didn't expect that Su Tu's hidden danger would be solved in this way.

Simple and neat, without leaving any trouble.

But only Awan can do such a thing to solve it perfectly.

Because, as a king, Sutu would only allow his princess to gain the support of his people.
