…
Since such a bad teammate was really hard to lead, Xue Qinghe had no choice but to kick Bals out and play solo.
"Crown Prince, please stop talking. With his attitude, there is no way I can let him go." Dugu Yan said.
Xue Qinghe sighed, and the owner of the tailor shop nearby also sensibly left the store and called all the employees away.
"Yanzi, I know you and this young brother are very angry about what happened yesterday. I also know that Bals is not really admitting his mistake, but this matter really cannot be made a big deal." Xue Qinghe said solemnly.
"What do you mean?" Dugu Yan asked puzzledly.
It was just a brain-dead prince. Would King Barak go against her grandfather because of such an idiot?
"You don't know, Senior Poison Douluo is now a guest of my Tiandou royal family." Xue Qinghe said.
"I'm sure you've heard about the Xingluo army's attack on the border some time ago. The border armies of the two countries have not yet dispersed."
"If Poison Douluo attacks Bars at this time, the outside world will think that the Tiandou royal family is suppressing the Barak Kingdom..."
Xue Qinghe sighed, "What happened to Bars is just a small matter. If this matter affects the relationship between the Tiandou Royal Family and the Barak Kingdom, it will be troublesome."
"The Xingluo army has not yet retreated. If a rift arises between the Tiandou royal family and the Barak Kingdom at this time, the army's morale will be unstable, and the Xingluo army may come to attack us!"
Emperor Xue Ye didn't care about the fact that his cousin had offended Dugu Yan. It didn't matter even if Bals died, but this guy couldn't die now, and he certainly couldn't die at the hands of Dugu Bo!
Dugu Bo had just become a guest of the Tiandou royal family, but he was killed by the prince of the Barak Kingdom in Tiandou City.
What did that mean? What would the other major kingdoms think?
Would they believe that it was just because Bars was stupid enough to offend Dugu Yan?
It would be fine at normal times, just treat it as a warning, but the situation is special now, so I can't hit him!
The emperor asked him to handle this matter so that he could suppress it as much as possible. Even if it could not be solved, it could be delayed for one day. At least before the Xing Luo army completely withdrew, Bals could not die!
"this..."
Listening to Xue Qinghe's explanation of the current situation, Dugu Yan hesitated again.
If this incident leads to a war between the two countries, and all lives are lost...
"Xuan Ming, how about we put this matter aside for now?" Dugu Yan said.
"If it really doesn't work, wait until this period of time is over, and I will let grandpa help you get revenge."
Xue Qinghe and others watched this scene in silence.
What is the relationship between these two people? Dugu Yan is still asking this kid what he thinks about such an important matter?
"The decision on this matter is yours, why are you asking me?" Xuan Ming was also a little confused.
He and Dugu Yan had just met. All in all, it had been less than a day since they first met yesterday.
Just now Dugu Yan threw the topic to him, and he just asked the question back.
After all, when it comes down to it, he has no say in this matter.
"But you are the one who is injured." Dugu Yan said.
"You could have run away by yourself at that time. Besides, you took the risk to kill Bars. The risk was all on you. I..."
Originally when they were still at home, Xuan Ming told her that it was inconvenient for him to go out in that condition, but she insisted on taking Xuan Ming out, which led to what happened later.
If she hadn't insisted on taking Xuan Ming out to eat, this wouldn't have happened.
She still felt bad after all.
"But I have no say in this matter." Xuan Ming said.
"I can't be so generous as to let him go, and I can't insist on revenge when I know his life and death will affect the war."
"It is wartime now. The rift between the Tiandou Royal Family and the Barak Kingdom is not conducive to the stability of the army and may lead to war."
"But if we wait for a while, until the armies of the two countries retreat, then we can take revenge. For the Barak Kingdom, wouldn't that be like killing the donkey after it has done its work?"
"If war breaks out again in the future, will the Barak Kingdom still fight against the Xing Luo army with all its heart?"
"Even if the Barak Kingdom harbors resentment and takes the initiative to provoke a war to retaliate against the Tiandou Royal Family, what should we do then?"
"And as the one who caused Poison Douluo to attack Bars, am I not the culprit of all this?"
"It is unkind to cause the suffering of people because of personal matters, and it is unjust to implicate Poison Douluo in this matter."
"Wouldn't that make me an unkind and unjust person?"
"This..." Dugu Yan was stunned.
Xue Qinghe and the others were also shocked by Xuan Ming's words. Although what Xuan Ming said was true, how could a six-year-old child think of this?
What kind of benevolence and righteousness does a child know?
"Because of that guy, I almost died. I am not such a magnanimous person, and I can't pretend to be so." Xuan Ming said.
"But Poison Douluo has a special identity, and I don't want him to help me get revenge, so I can't answer this question for you."
"You don't have to feel bad because of my injury. You are not wrong in this matter, and neither am I."
"In the minds of the eldest prince and the prince outside, they are not wrong."
"Since everyone is right, we can only go back to the most basic rules."
Xue Qinghe smiled helplessly, "Little brother, I didn't say that Bals was right, don't misunderstand me."
"But you don't think he is wrong either." Xuan Ming said.
"You don't think so, do you?"
He did not expect to see equality for all in such a world, even in the world where he had once lived.
Bullying the weak and fawning on the superiors are everywhere.
It's just that the world he once lived in hid these things and didn't reveal them so blatantly.
And in this world, these things are obvious.
Strong is right, weak is wrong.
…
The Grand Prince's Palace.
After failing in his lobbying, Xue Qinghe returned to his house to rest after sending Bals away.
"That idiot..."
Xue Qinghe took off her mask and disguise, revealing a more delicate female face.
"You can't prop up a wall with mud."
Dugu Yan had already given in. As long as he kept his head down, even if he was beaten up or crippled, he could find a healing soul master to heal him afterwards.
The issue has already been resolved among the younger generations, and Dugu Bo would not interfere even if he knew about it.
But Bars is really a pig brain! He can't even understand that situation!
It was a waste of her energy! Damn it!
"Young Master, how about I go outside the city to stop Dugu Bo, at least to prevent him from returning to Tiandou City in the next period of time?"
A tall man in black robe walked out from the shadows.
"That's not necessary."
"Xue Qinghe" looked coldly at the gift that Bals gave her on the table, condensed a golden flame in her hand, and burned it to ashes in one go.
"As long as this guy doesn't die at the hands of Dugu Bo."
"Young Master, what you mean is..."
"The little prince of the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom is also in Tiandou City. Bars is spoiled by nature. Fights between young people are inevitable, and accidents are also inevitable."
"clear."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black robe disappeared in the room.
"Xuan Ming, ... Interesting little boy."
"Xue Qinghe" took a breath and resumed his previous disguise.
"Someone come."
"Go check where the boy named Xuan Ming next to Dugu Yan came from."
