Chapter 186: with translation of chapter title

Now a major incident has occurred in the northern border, while the King of Zhenbei, Xiong Zhen, again refuses to reply.

As for the northern border matter, the court knows nothing about it.

Then to deal with the northern border affair, we must send someone capable of subduing Xiong Zhen.

As for the civil and military officials of the court, Yun Fengyun naturally still understands them.

Such candidates are extremely rare.

And this Yang Ye happens to be the sole candidate among them.

"This old subject thanks Your Majesty..."

Yang Ye bowed in salute, but Yun Fengyun immediately reached out to stop him.

"Brother-in-arms, do not rush this matter."

"Now there is a major affair in the northern border; the only person I can trust is you."

"Therefore, handling the northern border matter can only be done by you."

"Do not refuse this matter; you must go, for the sake of state affairs."

"As for the Prince's Mansion, Xi Yue and Jun'er, I guarantee they will be properly protected!"

Yun Fengyun spoke repeatedly, unwilling to accept Yang Ye's request.

Yang Ye's brows furrowed again.

On this matter, Yun Fengyun's words seemed reasonable, but now it appears not to be the case.

He did not want to go, after all, the northern border affair is important to Yun Fengyun, but in Yang Ye's mind, it is nowhere near as important as his own son and daughter-in-law.

"Brother-in-arms, Xi Yue is your daughter."

"As for Jun'er, although you and I had a dispute over him before, I have also considered that Jun'er will henceforth be like my own son."

"Now that Xi Yue is pregnant, how could I not protect them properly?"

Yun Fengyun spoke again, with a sincere expression.

Upon hearing Yun Fengyun's words, Yang Ye felt that since it had come to this point, refusing would be meaningless.

"If that is the case, I will go."

Yang Ye responded with an affirmation, and after saying this, he let out a long sigh.

The sworn brotherhood between him and Yun Fengyun still remains.

He cannot truly be indifferent to it.

After all, that is not his principle of conduct.

Upon receiving Yang Ye's answer, Yun Fengyun also breathed a sigh of relief.

The northern border affair is a thorn in Yun Fengyun's heart nowadays.

And with Yang Ye taking action, Yun Fengyun also fully believes that such matters can certainly be resolved.

Precisely for this reason, he also feels considerably relieved.

The two then discussed for a while, with Yun Fengyun repeatedly urging Yang Ye on what to pay attention to and guard against in this matter.

Yang Ye left, and Yun Fengyun leaned back in the chair; as he closed his eyes, he let out another long sigh at that moment.

His own physical condition seems to be getting worse and worse.

But today, upon learning that Xi Yue is expecting a child, it seems that some decision has become completely different from his original thoughts and considerations.

Such matters have left Yun Fengyun's heart filled with too many unexpected feelings.

Yun Fengyun involuntarily thought of his own cultivation again.

His daughter has a child; if he could truly be utterly ruthless and strike down this child, would his cultivation perhaps be able to advance further?

But even if his cultivation were to rise another level, would he still be considered a true person?

The more Yun Fengyun thought about it, the more confused he became.

His period of weakness is also drawing nearer; what should he do?

Should he truly sever all emotions, exterminate feelings and nature, to prove the Dao?

Yun Fengyun's heart is deeply torn.

Pingxi Prince's Mansion, Yang Ye originally wanted to find Yang Jun to give him some instructions.

But he could not find Yang Jun; this youngster had gone off busy again.

Yang Ye actually did not care much about this matter.

Yang Jun has grown up; he has his own arrangements and plans.

However, Yun Fengyun still worries greatly about the safety of Yang Jun and Yun Xiyue.

Yang Ye then summoned the four Qinglong and gave them instructions.

Since he is going to the northern border, the safety of Yang Jun and Yun Xiyue at home must be completely entrusted to these four.

"Prince, rest assured; the safety of the heir and his consort will be entrusted to your subordinates."

"Remember, you must guarantee their safety; if you truly encounter something you cannot cope with, take them both away."

Yang Ye solemnly instructed them; this matter also gave him a strong sense of unease.

"Yes!"

The four responded in unison, and Yang Ye lightly nodded.

At the Deputy Commander's mansion, Yang Jun walked straight in.

The guards certainly wanted to stop him, but they simply could not.

Moreover, they were not really daring to confront him, to block him.

After all, he is the heir of Prince Pingxi; these minor figures have no standing to inquire too much.

"Zhou Tian, I have come to visit you."

After Yang Jun entered, he immediately shouted loudly.

All the servants in Zhou Tian's mansion looked the same.

Everyone knew that their own master and this Heir Apparent were on very bad terms.

But now, what's wrong with this Heir Apparent?

He actually swaggered right in.

As for what Yang Jun said—that he came to visit their own master—they couldn't believe it.

Could it be that the Heir Apparent and their master have already let bygones be bygones?

A group of servants could only follow along as Yang Jun barged straight in, all the way into the main hall of the Deputy Officer's Residence, where he saw Zhou Tian sitting there with a dark face.

Seeing Yang Jun, Zhou Tian was shocked and puzzled; he waved his hand, ordering the servants to leave.

"What are you doing here?"

Zhou Tian looked at Yang Jun with an icy expression.

"Zhou Tian, you always used to come looking for me; is it not allowed for me to come see you today?"

Yang Jun sneered, and Zhou Tian's brows furrowed even tighter.

While speaking, Yang Jun also carefully scrutinized Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian had injuries; considering the matter of the Vast Heaven Sect, it seemed he had been disciplined again by members of the Vast Heaven Sect.

After all, as a member of the Vast Heaven Sect, nothing seems to be going smoothly for him these days.

"Huh? Zhou Tian, how did you get injured?"

"Oh, such a serious injury—must have been inflicted by your master and senior sisters, right?"

Yang Jun's words made Zhou Tian's eyes widen involuntarily.

How did this Yang Jun find out again that his master had entered the capital?

However, Zhou Tian is also smart; he quickly realized that this must have been his master taking action against Yang Jun.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have come to this.

"Yang Jun, you now know my master has arrived, and my senior sisters are quite formidable—how dare you still act so arrogantly?"

"You had better get out of here right now!"

"Otherwise, I will not be polite!"

With his master and senior sisters backing him, Zhou Tian's spine instantly straightened again.

"Zhou Tian, I didn't come here this time to chitchat; I have important business."

"You have business? What does that have to do with me?"

"Yes, this matter indeed has nothing to do with you, but I want to make a deal with Yu Mingyue."

"Yang Jun, what are you thinking? What do you have to offer in trade? Mo Qingyan and the others haven't gone back, have you? Are you now trying to trade the Holy Sword?"

Zhou Tian became ever more pleased, wearing an arrogant expression.
