Chapter 263: The Long Road to Winning Back My Wife

lans. I will never let you go! Today you've fallen into my hands, I will surely make you wish you were dead!"Jun Liye hated it most when people spoke ill of Su Qingying. His eyes narrowed, about to la...No matter what, this time he helped Dongyue overcome the tribulation. Both in sentiment and reason, he must be grateful to him.

He would never forget, on the evening that Bei Ling and Xi Ming captured the city, how he led 800,000 troops from Nanjiang, riding hard. That scene was forever etched in his mind like a brand.

It was impossible for him not to feel anything at that moment. Besides being touched, it seemed as if something surged up within him in an instant.

He couldn't explain the feeling, but it just made him feel uneasy.

“Thank you, I'd do anything for you…” He blurted out his true feelings before realizing the coldness in the other’s eyes. Zhao Tianyu abruptly stopped himself, awkwardly explaining, “Cough, that is...I mean, our Nanzhang borders your Dongyue. If Dongyue falls, then our Nanzhang will be their next target. Helping you is also helping us Nanzhang, so there's no need to thank me.”

Sure enough, no matter what time it was, as long as he faced him, his heart would race and he couldn't muster even a shred of confidence.

Thinking about this, Zhao Tianyu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, a bitter taste filling him to the extreme.

Oh, he's so resistant to him. When will he be able to win him over

The road to winning back one's lover is long and arduous!

No matter what, Your grace, this kindness of yours, I will never forget." Su Ziyi looked at him firmly and solemnly said.

For some reason, he didn't want to owe him anything. He felt that if he accepted any more favors from him, he would be trapped forever.

Zhao Tianyu waved his hand and smiled at him, "Haha, it's nothing."

What he ever wanted wasn't gratitude, he simply needed to be able to accept himself and trust himself.

He wouldn't even blink an eye if he had to die for him, let alone send troops to support him.

But he never knew these things...

"On behalf of Dongyue, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you." Su Ziyi said again.

It's best to settle accounts clearly and separately, one code at a time.

Seeing him insist on distancing himself from her, Zhao Tianyu's smile froze abruptly. His hand clenched and relaxed under his sleeve. He didn't want to continue this topic any longer, so he calmly changed the subject: "Let's not talk about that. By the way, how's Qingying Have you heard from her in all these days"

"Still nothing. All we know is that they were ambushed and assassinated before they even entered Bei Ling's borders. Ying'er disappeared after that day, and so did Jun Liye. There's been no word from either of them." Su Ziyi shook his head weakly, his heart heavy. The thing he feared most had finally happened.

He just couldn't understand it. With Jun Liye's skills, how could he possibly be defeated so easily by that person It was unlike the Jun Liye he knew.

What exactly happened Where did Ying'er go

Just thinking about these things gave him a headache.

Zhao Tianyu said in a deep voice, “Jun Liye and the Northern Emperor have always been evenly matched. Logically speaking, with Jun Liye present, the Northern Emperor would not dare to easily attack Dongyue. But this time, he not only forcefully entered the palace but also personally led the army. Obviously, he is confident.”

Su Ziyi's face showed fatigue, he remained silent to this, "This is precisely my biggest worry right now. The Northling Emperor is so confident, I fear that Ying'er and Jun Liye truly have met with some unforeseen mishap."

"What about the Windchaser Haven't heard anything from his side" The training, combat, and detective work at Luoyue Palace were very similar to modern methods. If they couldn't even handle this, then things would be very difficult.

"No." Su Ziyi said in a low voice.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit heavy. Zhao Tianyu was afraid that he was too worried and exhausted, so he patted him on the shoulder in comfort and said with a lighthearted tone: "Relax, that girl Qingying is very lucky. Yama wouldn't dare to take her life easily, believe they will turn danger into safety. We shouldn't scare ourselves."

“Sigh, let’s hope so.” With a helpless shrug, Su Ziyue turned his gaze to the blueprints spread out on the table before him. He tapped several points with his slender, bony fingers, his voice laced with melancholy. His brows furrowed tightly as he continued, “Right now, Bei Ling and Xi Ming are advancing relentlessly. We in Dong Yue are at a disadvantage. At this rate, I fear it will be difficult to turn the tide. The fall of Dong Yue is only a matter of time.”

I couldn't help but reach out and gently smooth his furrowed brow. Zhao Tianyu spoke word by word, with utmost solemnity and sincerity, "No, even if it means sacrificing my life, giving everything I have, I will die protecting Dong Yue for you, absolutely no country will fall!"

“If it were only for the Southern Borderland, you wouldn't have to go to such lengths. Our two countries’ friendship isn't that deep yet.” Su Ziyi awkwardly averted his gaze, deliberately ignoring the feeling that surged in his heart, his voice was indifferent with a hint of detachment.

Listening to his repeated, indifferent tone that kept them worlds apart, Zhao Tianyu couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. He slammed the map scattered on the table and forcefully turned him around, looking into his eyes, determined to get straight to the point. "To hell with the diplomatic ties between our two nations! I don't do this for Nanzhang, I do it for you! Su Ziyi, I help you not for your gratitude, nor to be alienated by you. The reason I became the emperor of Nanzhang, the reason I unhesitantly sent troops to support Dongyue, is for you, understand It's all because you are Su Ziyi!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ziyi was startled and shocked for a long time before he could speak. It seemed that he hadn't digested his words yet.

He said it was for him But they're all men!

Coming to his senses, Su Ziy翼 forcefully pushed away Zhao Tianyu's restraints and slightly stood up, taking a step back. The gentle jade-like beauty on his face instantly turned cold. "We are both men, if you say such inappropriate words again, you needn't appear before me. It's late, Emperor of Nanjiang, please return. I need to rest."

He was feeling a bit disoriented right now and needed some time alone to sort things out. For some reason, when he heard this, his first reaction wasn't disgust or anger, but...panic!

What was this strange feeling He couldn't quite understand it.

"Are you trying to drive me away Su Ziy翼, is your heart made of stone Do you hate me this much" Zhao Tianyu stared at him heavily, his brows furrowed with dark clouds, his hands clenched into fists, making a creaking sound. In the depths of his obsidian eyes, unwillingness, heartache, anger flickered, ultimately transforming into helplessness and bitterness.

He doesn't love him, what else can he do Besides sulking, what else can he do

Push him No, he'd probably be more heartbroken than him, he'd rather hurt himself than push him even a little!

"Nanjiang Huang, we are both men. Please do not speak in such a way that could lead to misunderstandings. I have no time to joke with you. As the emperor of a nation, I hope you will pay attention to your words and actions so as not to give rise to gossip." Su Ziyi's eyes were icy cold, his words like sharp blades, piercing Zhao Tianyu's shattered heart with agonizing pain. man's skill is too terrifying, Ling'er is still frightened to this day."No, since our parting in the bamboo forest, I've been searching for this man. I never expected to meet him here. This must be...
