Chapter 967 Jiayao's Dissatisfaction

At night, Jia Yao tossed and turned in bed.

The scene from the daytime kept appearing in her mind.

Fear, confusion, frustration, sadness...

Various negative emotions intertwined in Jiayao's heart.

After witnessing the power of the Tiger Crouching Cannon with his own eyes, Jia Yao felt like he had lost his soul.

With just this one weapon, you can easily kill a group of people.

If there were tens of thousands of those weapons, the war would become a completely one-sided massacre.

The point is, that weapon isn't hard to carry.

Compared to a crossbow or a catapult, that weapon was incredibly light.

In this way, whether for attack or defense, such weapons can be deployed in large quantities on the battlefield.

The weapon in Yun Zheng's hands will completely change the future battlefield situation.

Moreover, Yun Zheng told her an extremely cruel fact.

The kind of weapons he had witnessed were basically only in their infancy.

When that kind of weapon truly grows, it will be able to attack the enemy from several miles or even dozens of miles away.

She didn't know whether Yun Zheng was exaggerating on purpose to intimidate her, but given Bei Huan's current weakness, it seemed unnecessary for Yun Zheng to exaggerate like that.

"Ugh……"

Jia Yao sighed in despair, with a look of despair on his face.

It seemed as if she saw the future destiny of Beihuan.

Although, she had thought about this outcome.

But before, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.

And now, she has completely lost hope.

The best outcome for Beihuan would be to become a complete vassal of Daqian, and then be gradually assimilated by the Daqian people, and eventually disappear in the long river of history.

Extinction seems to be completely inevitable.

No matter how hard she tried, it seemed she couldn't change the situation.

Unconsciously, Jia Yao thought of Emperor Wen's proposal again.

Compromise with yourself and be willing to be a failed chess player.

Only in this way can we protect the people of Beihuan as much as possible and prevent them from becoming the lowest subjects of Daqian.

In the past, she looked down upon those people who, despite the hatred of their country and family, would devote themselves to their enemies, give birth to children for their enemies, and try their best to please their enemies.

She used to think that those people were afraid of death.

But at this moment, she finally understood those people.

But, for her, how could it be so easy to compromise with herself?

Just as Emperor Wen said, it is easy to compromise with others, but if the situation is not as good as others, you should compromise when necessary.

This is called knowing practical matters.

To compromise with yourself, you must first convince the other self in your body.

Emperor Wen had already given her the best option, but she was unwilling to accept it.

There are many people in the world who understand the great principles, but how many of them actually act in accordance with them?

"Dong dong..."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Hearing the knock on the door, Jia Yao took a long time to come out of his thoughts, then got up and went to open the door.

"It took you so long to open the door. Are you hiding in your room crying?"

Yun Zheng stood at the door and teased Jia Yao with a smile.

Jia Yao forced herself to suppress her negative emotions and continued along with Yun Zheng's words, "That's right, I was scared by you and my eyes are almost swollen from crying. Can you give me hundreds of thousands of dan of grain or something to comfort me?"

Listening to Jia Yao's words, Yun Zheng's smile brightened.

Well, it’s still that unyielding Jiayao.

It seemed that he didn't need to worry about her mental state for the time being.

Thinking of this, Yun Zheng naturally walked into the house and sat down.

"What do you want from me so late?"

Jia Yao closed the door, walked over to sit opposite Yun Zheng, and stared at Yun Zheng with a playful look on his face, "Or, are you planning to let me sleep with you?"

"Of course I have no objection if you want to sleep with me." Yun Zheng smiled back, "But before that, I want to ask you a question."

"what is the problem?"

Jia Yao tilted his head with a look of confusion on his face.

Yun Zheng put away his joking expression and said, "Do you know why I want to show you the power of the Tiger Crouching Cannon?"

"Isn't it to scare me so that I don't dare to have any inappropriate thoughts?" Jia Yao blurted out.

Hearing Jia Yao's answer, Yun Zheng couldn't help but feel secretly disappointed.

After a moment's silence, Yun Zheng stood up and walked out.

Still the same answer, what the hell is the point of serving in bed!

Looking at Yun Zheng's actions, Jia Yao couldn't help but be stunned.

Is my answer wrong?

Was he dissatisfied with his answer?

"and many more!"

Jia Yao called out to Yun Zheng, "Are you just leaving like this?"

"if not?"

Yun Zheng turned around and looked at Jia Yao. "As the saying goes, if you don't agree with me, there's no point in talking. If you still hold this mentality, what else can I talk to you about?"

Talk about love?

If Jiayao keeps holding on to this mentality, there's nothing to talk about love.

In the end, it's nothing but hurting others and yourself.

Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Jia Yao couldn't help but feel secretly confused.

After a moment, Jia Yao stood up and pulled Yun Zheng back to sit down, "Sit down first, let me think about it!"

Having said that, Jia Yao began to think.

Isn't it to shock yourself?

It seems that Yun Zheng now no longer needs to use such means to intimidate himself.

Hadn't I been so frightened by him that I dared not have any other thoughts?

But if it wasn't to shock myself, what else could it be for?

Jia Yao racked his brains to think.

But after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't come up with the answer.

"I really can't think of it. Don't beat around the bush with me. Just tell me directly."

Jia Yao gave up and didn't want to think about it any further without any clue.

"I really don't know where your former cleverness has gone!"

Yun Zheng sighed helplessly, "To be frank, you are not as smart as Zulu right now!"

"I……"

Jia Yao bit her thin lips lightly, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"Aren't you convinced?"

Yun Zheng asked back.

"Yes, I just don't accept it!"

Jia Yao raised her swan-like neck and said, "I admit that I'm not as smart as you, but I'm not worse than Zulu!"

In her eyes, the people of Beimoduo are just slightly smarter than the northern barbarians.

No matter what, she is not dumber than Zulu.

"Since you are so dissatisfied, let me ask you a question."

Yun Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you dare to provoke Zulu now?"

Jia Yao curled his lips and snorted, "As long as you don't interfere, I can easily destroy Bei Mo Tuo!"

"Why shouldn't I intervene?"

Yun Zheng said with a smile: "Bei Mo Tuo is a vassal state of Da Qian. Zulu also led the troops of Bei Mo Tuo to make military achievements for me. If you want to touch the vassal state of Da Qian, tell me, why should I not intervene?"

"..."

Jia Yao was indignant, "Then what I, Bei Huan, have done for you is not enough?"

"Quite a few!"

Yun Zheng said frankly: "So, if the northern barbarians want to attack you, I will still send troops to help you!"

Jia Yao was speechless and had nothing to say for a moment.

"I told you that you are not as good as Zulu, and you still don't accept it?"

Yun Zheng snorted and asked unhappily, "What do you think Zulu would think if he saw the power of the Tiger Crouching Cannon?"

What is the Zulu mentality?

Jia Yao frowned slightly, "How do I know what his mentality is?"

"I can tell you!"

Yun Zheng stared into Jia Yao's eyes and said seriously, "When Zulu sees the Tiger Crouching Cannon, he will only be happy! Happy to have such a powerful suzerain!"
