When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Qin Yuechuan spoke the first words since entering the room: "You already know my identity?"

The man said: "No, but it's rare for someone to defeat my 'A Tong'. He is so powerful, so I have to investigate him thoroughly.

Prince Rong is well-known in Kyoto, so it is not difficult to find him."

Qin Yuechuan raised his teacup and returned the greeting, saying frankly, "Same here, former crown prince of Nanyuan, Su Jinyan."

Su Jinyan was slightly surprised, but it disappeared in an instant, replaced by a gentle smile. He looked back at Qin Yuechuan calmly.

The words spoken by both parties were all understated, but no one could guess the scheming of the other party.

Su Jinyan put down the teacup and said, "It is not difficult for Jingdou to investigate His Royal Highness Prince Rong, but since Prince Rong is in Beixuan, he knows everything about Nanyuan, which is not easy.

I really admire you.”

"It's not that hard to guess. The year the wild fighting field appeared was exactly the same year that the news of the former crown prince of Nanyuan's defeat on the battlefield was reported. "

Su Jinyan thought of all kinds of clues that could expose his identity, but he didn't think of this. This was hardly a secret!

Anyone who is interested can find it! But no one has ever connected these two things together.

"That's all!?"

He even suspected that Qin Yuechuan was cheating him just now.

"He Xuehuai said that he had been lurking in Nanyuan's army for several years before he was given an important position, and dealt a heavy blow to Nanyuan.

However, I don't believe that he has been able to hide his identity for more than ten years just by luck, or because no one can recognize his face.

If no one from Nanyuan came to help, how could he escape the annual scrutiny of important generals?

The soldiers might not know, but those who had met He Xuehuai would not be easy to dispel their doubts if they saw him, as his face was somewhat similar to that of the former Duke of Zhenguo.

I can't think of anyone else except you who can and has the ability to help him.

If you were still alive, everything would make sense."

Qin Yuechuan told his speculation slowly, staring at Su Jinyan without blinking, and also asked the question he wanted to know most:

"So, what kind of deal did you make with He Xuehuai? I still can't figure out what made you help him infiltrate our camp and cause Nanyuan's defeat.

That is your motherland! If it falls, won’t it be your people who will be lost? Your land!?”

"Heh." Su Jinyan lowered his head and chuckled to himself.

“The former crown prince of Nanyuan, Su Jinyan, is already dead, and what is alive here now is just a shell.

A dirty and despicable skin like a rat or ant that cannot stand the light of day."

Realizing that his emotions were a little out of control, Su Jinyan secretly calmed down the sudden surge in his heart that had been dead for a long time.

He said again: "Of course I know that they were my soldiers and my people, but it is precisely because of this that I have to do this even more.

The old Emperor Nanyuan was ambitious and spent his entire life on war. However, he did not think about how to better govern the empire he had conquered and provide his people with a rich and happy life.

He had only one purpose in fighting for land, which was to recruit more soldiers and seize more land, over and over again. Those people, who were taken under Nan Yuan's command, were nothing but hell.

I don't agree with what he calls "a move by a strong country."

No, this is not a move by a strong country, it is simply self-destruction!

After I became the crown prince, I advised him to implement benevolent policies and treat his people well. I also advised him to stop fighting for a few years and rest and recuperate.

However, the old emperor said that I was a coward and unworthy of being his crown prince, his successor. He even considered deposing me and making my second brother, who was more in line with his ideas, the new crown prince.

If he became the crown prince, then this nightmare, the nightmare of the people of Nanyuan, would truly have no end.

I can only pretend to be obedient and bide my time, thinking that maybe when I come to power, I can implement my ideas, promote my policies, and save my people from suffering."

When he said this, Su Jinyan himself might not have noticed that there was a strange fire of hope flashing in his eyes.

It was as if the person sitting in front of Qin Yuechuan at this moment was still the hopeful Prince Nanyuan.

However, the next moment, Su Jinyan thought of something, the fire of hope suddenly went out, and his eyes dimmed again.

"But I was too naive. My second brother has been coveting my position for a long time and has been trying to get rid of me. He dare not do anything too extreme to me in Kyoto.

So, when Nanyuan launched a war with Beixuan again, he suggested that the old emperor lead the army in person.

But the old emperor was old, so he ordered me to go to the war on his behalf.

After that, the result is well known.

Nanyuan narrowly defeated Beixuan at the cost of losing a prince.

My second brother got the throne of crown prince as he wished and became the new crown prince of Nanyuan.

And I, under the protection of my subordinates who risked their lives in exchange for their own, have managed to survive until now."

As time goes by, it seems like I am just telling a slightly tragic story in a light-hearted manner. If the name was not mentioned, no one would know that the prince who had a miserable end in the story was Su Jinyan.

Qin Yuechuan listened to his story calmly without making any comments.

He never even said a word to express sympathy for Su Jinyan in the story.

Even her expression was indifferent, as if she was not moved at all by the story he told.

Qin Yuechuan took a sip of tea and said only one sentence:

"I believe it is true."

But compared with his previous life, Qin Yuechuan felt that Su Jinyan was much luckier than him. He was not poisoned and could still survive. He even did not need to be reborn and still had a chance to make a comeback.

In this world, everyone has their own sufferings. Who is qualified to sympathize with whom?

Su Jinyan doesn't need sympathy either.

"I'm not saying this to gain sympathy from others. I just think there's still a possibility for us to work together. I'm willing to tell you my true identity and situation. I'm just showing off my sincerity."

Su Jinyan stared at Qin Yuechuan with a burning gaze and asked, "How about it, Prince Rong, are you willing to cooperate with me?

I can lend you all the manpower I have accumulated in recent years to work for you until you have your own power. "

"What are your conditions?"

"Help me to return to Nanyuan. Now the only army that can contend with Nanyuan is your Northern Frontier Army. All the lands we recover belong to you, Beixuan!"

"As a 'king', you're just giving away your people and land? Don't blame me for being suspicious. This is indeed a bit absurd."

Su Jinyan stood up, restrained his smile, and looked at him solemnly:

“It’s not that I am willing to give away my land and people, but it’s no exaggeration to say that they are living in dire straits in Nanyuan right now.

Emperor Beixuan has always loved his people. If they become Beixuan's subjects, they will only live a more prosperous life.

When two countries fight, it is only the people of both sides who suffer. If you are lucky enough to be protected by a powerful country, what does it matter whether it is Beixuan or Nanyuan!

If I ever get a high position, I will definitely not be like my father, an executioner who only knows how to kill and fight!"

Su Jinyan was a little excited, his breathing was a little uneven, and seeing the flames rising in Qin Yuechuan's eyes, he said sincerely:

"I admit that this is not the only way. If you don't agree, I will continue to proceed according to my plan step by step.

But I’m afraid my people will have to suffer for a few more years.

This is an opportunity for both you and me. We can each get what we want. If I gain power, I am willing to make peace with Bei Xuan. I cannot guarantee anything else, but at least when I am in power, I will not take the initiative to start a war against Bei Xuan!"

Qin Yuechuan looked calm, and asked another question that seemed irrelevant to the current content:

"So, what's your deal with He Xuehuai?"
