Chapter 74 : Sooner or Later, a Person Will Be Done In by the Word 'Contrast'
"Ming Chen, Ling Yu, these two do not need to participate in the palace examination."
"Appoint Ling Yu as Superintendent of the Army and immediately dispatch her to Yezhou in the northern border. With General Qu Yangshu as the main commander and Ling Yu as his assistant, the military forces of the three northern provinces can all be mobilized to counterattack the Northern Lie army."
"As for Ming Chen... appoint him as a Compiler in the Hanlin Academy."
"Regardless of whether Ling Yu achieves results, you and the Grand Secretary are to discuss and select a few suitable people, appoint them as imperial envoys, and send them to Northern Lie to sue for peace. They are to depart within a month."
"Bring Ming Chen along with the envoy team as well. Hint to those few people that Ming Chen is to be the main person in charge."

Xiao Yu, dressed in his imperial robes, sat at his desk, his fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop. His eyes were as calm as an ancient well as he spoke in a flat tone to the person before him.
Ling Yu and Ming Chen, the top civil and military graduates of this year's imperial examinations, he was very satisfied with both.
The purpose of the imperial examinations was to select talented people.
These two talents had caught his eye; there was no need to waste any more time with further tests.

The current situation was tense and urgent. There was no need to worry about trivial rules. The proper course of action was to quickly send these two to the northern border to resolve the current calamity.
"Yes."
Xiao Zhengyang lowered his head and replied with a humble expression.
But in his heart, a hundred thoughts were turning.

Ming Chen?
He had heard this name again.
Е nü.m̂ а
He naturally knew of Ling Yu; after all, he was the one who had recommended her to Xiao Yu's attention.
But he did not understand Ming Chen.
He only knew that he was the Huiyuan of this year's metropolitan civil examination.
However, Xiao Zhengyang could now basically confirm that this Ming Chen was that mysterious, strange person.
All the information matched up.
Ling Yu and Ming Chen, two brilliant stars brought forth by a chaotic world. One person could save the country; two could stabilize Qian Yuan for another hundred years.

In the future, when he ascended the throne, with these left and right arms, he could also realize his grand ambitions and bring about a revival of Qian Yuan.
Seeing Xiao Zhengyang's humble and obedient appearance, Xiao Yu nodded with satisfaction and said again, "Send an order to all provinces and commanderies. I am offering a reward of ten thousand gold to search the world for strange fires and the divine parasol tree."
"This..."
The Crown Prince suddenly raised his head upon hearing this, an expression of difficulty uncontrollably appearing on his face.
The current situation was chaotic, the great edifice was on the verge of collapse, and every resource needed to be used with extreme care.
Why was his Father Emperor bringing up these inexplicable requests again?
Én ü m̊ а̌
"Hm?"
Seeing Xiao Zhengyang's apparent dissatisfaction, Xiao Yu just frowned slightly, his gaze deep, and a warning sound came from his throat.

Xiao Zhengyang came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed. "Your son obeys the command."
...
"Well, well, older brother, you've hidden yourself quite deeply!"
In the deep and gloomy Imperial Palace, father and son each had their own thoughts, scheming against each other.
Е́ ňũm а . і d̊
On the other side, where the sun shone, soulmates clinked their glasses together.
Ming Chen and Ling Yu had no idea that their immediate fates had already been arranged.
In the private room, Ming Chen put down his wine cup, teasing the person before him with a smile.
Ling Yu said helplessly, "I don't even know my own master's identity..."

Ming Chen put on a show, clasping his hands in a bow with a respectful face. "So you are the esteemed disciple of Marquis-General Hou. This humble one has been disrespectful, truly disrespectful~"
He had never asked about the dazed older sister's background.
Е n.u m̃a .i d̄
Ling Yu: ...
You'd better be truly disrespectful!
The dazed older sister didn't know what sarcasm was.
But she knew that this unlucky fellow before her was up to no good.
The star of death sister had been drinking, her pretty face flushed. She gave Ming Chen a sidelong glance. "You could at least show a little respect in your attitude~"
She actually didn't dislike this rakish man who was joking with her.

In fact, compared to Lord Feng and the Crown Prince, who were respectful because of her master's identity, she preferred Ming Chen's teasing way of getting along.
Because she knew that to the Crown Prince, her identity was only that of the disciple of the God of War, Hou Buchen.
But to Ming Chen, she was first and foremost "Ling Yu," and then, just happened to be Hou Buchen's disciple.
This was very important to her.
"Hahahaha~"
The dazed older sister didn't seem to realize how cute she was.
Ӗ n ǔ m̈.ӓ
She was clearly a serious person, decisive and resolute, with a somewhat masculine air.
But at this moment, her pretty face was slightly flushed, her eyes watery, her breath smelling of wine, a mix of feigned anger and coquettishness.

The contrast was simply too strong.
Sooner or later, a person will be done in by the word 'contrast'.
"Hmph~ Worthy brother, if you tease me again, don't blame me for exposing what happened when you just left Wangyang County~"
Ling Yu glared at Ming Chen and said, "In the future, I'll let everyone know what a sorry sight our Lord Ming was when he first rode a horse~"
Е̃ǹŭḿа̌
She had no doubt that Ming Chen could reach a very high position.
After searching her memory for a long time, she finally remembered this one thing she could use to counterattack.
After all, this younger brother was extremely shrewd; it wasn't easy to see him at a disadvantage.
"Aiya~ This horse is no good, it's too wild, it won't listen!"

"Aiya, aiya~ It must be because it just rained, the ground is too muddy, it can't walk properly~"
"Older brother~ Slow down, wait for me!"
Е n u̇ mӓ
There was a reason they called the star of death sister clever; she learned the art of sarcasm very quickly.
She put down her wine cup, winked at Ming Chen, and imitated the various excuses he had made when he was first learning to ride a horse.
After drinking, she seemed to be more spirited. Words she would never have said before, forms she would never have shown, were now displayed without any scruples.
Perhaps it was also related to the person she was with.
Only in front of Ming Chen would she reveal such a side.
Ming Chen: ...

She finally got him.
Ming Chen was now also starting to wonder if he shouldn't let this person spend too much time with him. She hadn't learned much of what she should have, but she had learned all of what she shouldn't have.
He didn't actually care about it, but he still raised his hands in surrender. "My mistake, my mistake~ Older brother, spare my life~"
"Heh~"
So happy~
It was back, it was all back.

The two months of separation didn't seem to have diluted the affection between them. Instead, they had grown closer, more trusting.
An indescribable emotion surged in her chest. Ling Yu only felt this way when she was with Ming Chen.

She didn't know what it was.
She only felt that Ming Chen, this one soulmate, was far, far more important than friends like Lord Feng and the Crown Prince.
"Worthy brother, you've guessed wrong~"
She lowered her eyes, looked at Ming Chen, and said, "His Highness the Crown Prince said that after I passed the metropolitan examination, I can go to the northern border very soon to participate in the war."
Еn ūm̈ а . і̄d
"Is that so~"
Then Ming Chen had indeed guessed wrong.
The name Hou Buchen still carried a lot of weight.
He smiled. "How confident is older brother?"

Ling Yu was stunned upon hearing this. The wine's effect wore off, and her smile faded a little.
She shook her head at Ming Chen. "It's just you and me here. This foolish older brother won't lie to you. I actually don't have even a sliver of confidence."
Е n̈ūm̌а̂.і̂ d̀
She hadn't been very confident to begin with, and after seeing the intelligence from the front lines, her heart grew even colder.
The situation was much worse than she had imagined.
Even with a myriad of ideas and strategies, there was not a sufficient stage for her to display them.
"But worthy brother, I am not resigned~"
She drained the wine in her cup, as if a fierce fire was burning in her eyes. "For more than ten years, I have studied for this. How can I just watch as Qian Yuan bows its head and begs for peace from that Northern Lie enemy?"
"Then how many more years will I have to wait?"

"Even if I am smashed to pieces in the northern border, I am unwilling to wither away in this capital, guarding a cowardly peace."
