Although in the eyes of others, Ying An was able to overcome his congenital deficiency and recover his health due to the joyous occasion.
Only the Yinyang Family and Ying An, the person involved, knew that the so-called 'joyful occasion' was nothing but nonsense.
Precisely because she knew everything was false, Dong Jun understood even more clearly that Ying An's recovery must have another reason.
In Dong Jun's opinion, if she hadn't guessed wrong, then what restored Ying An's health must have been the yin-cold aura she glimpsed outside the door earlier.
The Yinyang Family was very aware of Ying An's previous physical condition. To restore a critically ill person with a congenital deficiency to health in just a few days was by no means a simple matter.
After a brief silence, Ying An chuckled lightly and said, "Dong Jun, Sir, what do you think of these Seven Kingdoms under heaven?"
Dong Jun raised an eyebrow, not understanding why Ying An, this Great Qin prince, refused to directly answer her question and instead asked a completely unrelated one out of nowhere.
After a moment of hesitation, Dong Jun spoke, "Years of war, with the people suffering."
"Exactly!" Ying An nodded in agreement upon hearing this, then his face instantly showed a compassionate expression.
"From the Spring and Autumn period until now, five hundred years of warfare. The land of Huaxia has barely known a moment of peace! Such frequent wars have made it impossible for the common people to bear any longer!" Ying An said with a commanding posture, "The general trend of the world is that what has been divided for a long time must unite, and what has been united for a long time must divide! As of today, unification has become a consensus!"
Catching a glimpse of Dong Jun's face from the corner of his eye, Ying An saw no significant change in her expression, and he muttered to himself. It seemed he still needed to administer a stronger dose!
If Yan Dan, the Crown Prince of Yan, could use his scoundrel tactics to make Dong Jun devoted to him, there was no reason why he couldn't!
Compared to him, Dong Jun, despite her strength, was a pure and innocent girl with limited worldly experience, especially one with the potential for 'love-struck' tendencies. Therefore, as long as he could make her entrust a thread of her affection to him, then in the future, even if it meant making Dong Jun an enemy of the Yinyang Family, she would not hesitate.
It was no exaggeration to say that in Ying An's heart, marrying Dong Jun was absolutely the most cost-effective option. It was even better than marrying the princesses of the Six Kingdoms.
Of course, the prerequisite was to firmly capture Dong Jun's heart.
In front of Dong Jun, Yan Dan had crafted an image of himself as a compassionate man with grand ambitions.
Ying An could do the same, and even more so; instead of just relying on glib words to deceive people, Ying An could also present convincing evidence.
With a multi-pronged approach, he was confident he could make Dong Jun utterly devoted to him.
"However, if one wishes to unify, one must go through war! The nobles of the Six Kingdoms will not willingly give up their glory and wealth!" Ying An's tone became more resolute. "Only by stopping killing with killing, and promoting peace through war, can long-term stability be achieved!"
"So, Prince Ying An intends for Great Qin to unify the world?" Dong Jun said with disdain, "Has the Prince considered how many people will suffer the hardships of war?"
"It won't be worse than these five hundred years of war!" Ying An said calmly, "Unifying the world will indeed cause immense suffering. However, no matter what, it cannot be more bitter than five hundred years of continuous warfare!"
Dong Jun was immediately speechless. She argued, "That's right. Unifying the world can indeed eliminate war, but why must it be Qin that unifies the world? You should know that the Shandong Six Kingdoms view Great Qin as a nation of tigers and wolves!"
"Because only Great Qin has this strength!" Ying An said with great conviction, "How can the lingering prestige of six generations be matched by the corrupt and degenerate people of the Shandong Six Kingdoms?"
Nodding noncommittally, Dong Jun felt a sense of approval for Ying An for the first time.
Of course, this approval only acknowledged Ying An's foresight and did not mean she was moved by him. One must know that the Yinyang Family's star-gazing techniques had already foreseen the future. Great Qin would certainly unify the world, but this would only be a temporary glory.
However, in the world, those who could perceive the grand trend of Great Qin unifying the world were already as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. What was even more chaotic was what would happen after Great Qin unified the world!
"What the Gongzi said is very true!" Dong Jun smiled softly and said, "However, the Gongzi just said that the world's grand trend is that after a long period of division, there must be unity, and after a long period of unity, there must be division! I wonder, Gongzi, how long do you think Great Qin, if it unifies the world, can maintain this peace?"
Ying An heard this and did not answer directly. Instead, he looked at Dong Jun with a meaningful gaze and said, "Extreme prosperity leads to decline; this is a fundamental truth of heaven and earth! I once heard that the Yinyang Family pursues the limit of heaven and man. Does Dong Jun not know that human effort can achieve anything?"
After a moment of silence, Dong Jun nodded and said, "Meeting the Gongzi today, I now understand the Gongzi's ambition! Feiyan has benefited greatly, and I hope the Gongzi will not forget his original intention!"
"To not change one's original intention is incredibly difficult. This matter will require Feiyan to remind me often in the future!" Ying An smiled as he looked at Dong Jun!
Dong Jun was startled, then quickly understood Ying An's meaning.
Their engagement was set, and the wedding date was not far off.
Since they would become husband and wife, Dong Jun would naturally have to remind Ying An often when he forgot his original intention!
Unless they were sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams, it was inevitable for husband and wife.
Bowing, Dong Jun quickly bid farewell and left.
Watching Dong Jun's back disappear through the palace doors, Ying An sighed softly in his heart.
He could feel that his performance today had, at most, planted a seed in Dong Jun's heart. Whether this seed would take root and sprout in the future remained to be seen.
Before completely winning Dong Jun's heart, he must not treat her as a simple love-struck fool.
In terms of wisdom, strength, and all other aspects, Dong Jun was a contemporary leader.
Even Wei Zhuang had been outmaneuvered by Dong Jun. The Flowing Sand had to bear the blame for Dong Jun killing the Six-Fingered Black Hero.
Dong Jun, who personally killed the Six-Fingered Black Hero, not only perfectly shifted all blame to Flowing Sand but also made Wei Zhuang, a Vertical and Horizontal successor, tacitly accept it. This was not merely a simple conspiracy.
Dong Jun had almost perfectly calculated Wei Zhuang's character.
Such a woman, besides Ying An, probably no one would believe that she would become a love-struck fool who disregarded everything.
Ying An, who knew all this in advance, was practically playing with an open hand. More importantly, the engagement between Dong Jun and him was already settled.
Even if Ying An could not make Dong Jun sacrifice everything for him like Yan Dan did in the future, Ying An still had the leverage to turn everything around.
The Soul system from the Yang God World!!
This power system, far surpassing that of the Qin Shi World, was something the Yinyang Family, which pursued the limit of heaven and man, could not afford to miss.
More crucially, once they jumped into the pit of the Soul system, the Yinyang Family would forever be at his mercy.
Don't forget, although the Soul system is incredibly powerful, it has a fatal flaw: it requires tribulation!!
The Qin Shi World simply does not have the environment for tribulation!!
