Wang Yuyan was on the verge of breaking down. She picked up Murong Fu's long sword on the table and placed it against her neck. With tears in her eyes, she looked at her cousin and cried," Cousin, you've wronged me. I'm innocent. Heaven and earth can prove it." As soon as she finished speaking, she was ready to commit suicide to prove her innocence.
Murong Fu cried out in alarm,"No!" He went forward to snatch the sword from her hand.
At this moment, someone outside suddenly shouted,""Don't!" He broke through the door, his body extremely nimble. In a flash, he arrived beside Wang Yuyan and snatched the sword from her hand.
Of course, it was Duan Yu. He had been eavesdropping on Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan's conversation outside. When he realized that Wang Yuyan was about to commit suicide, he could not care less and barged in.
Duan Yu's movements were extremely fast and agile, which surprised Murong Fu. He did not expect that this silly boy who did not know any martial arts would be so good at martial arts now. It really made him a little unhappy.
Murong Fu pointed his sword at Duan Yu." Master Duan, why are you eavesdropping on our conversation?" Tell me, what are your intentions?"
" No, no, no, no. I have no intention of harming you. Miss Wang and I are innocent. Don't misunderstand her in the future and don't make her sad," Duan Yu said anxiously.
Duan Yu took the initiative to defend himself, which warmed Wang Yu Yan's heart. She looked at her cousin and went back to her room alone. When Duan Yu saw that Wang Yu Yan had left, he also went back to his room.
Murong Fu wondered what Duan Yu had experienced. His martial arts had improved so quickly that he was probably no match for him now. When Murong Fu thought of this, a trace of worry appeared in his heart and he fell into deep thought.
The next day, Wang Yuyan woke up early. She remembered what had happened last night and was worried that her cousin was still angry with her. She dressed up and prepared a meal to give to her cousin. She went to Murong Fu's room and was about to knock when she heard a low voice talking inside. She stopped and listened carefully.
"Third Brother Boson, Fourth Brother Feng, did I call you here to talk about Duan Yu?”Murong Fu's expression was calm, as if he had thought it through.
"What's wrong with that silly kid Duan Yu?" The two of them were puzzled.
" Duan Yu is no longer the silly kid from before. Last night, he inadvertently displayed his martial arts. I'm afraid we are no longer his match." Murong Fu was a little angry when he said this. Why did others improve so quickly in martial arts, but he did not improve for a long time?
"So what if his martial arts are higher than ours? Although that kid is annoying, he doesn't look like someone who wants to go against us.”Although Bao Butong did not like Duan Yu, he knew that Duan Yu was not a bad person.
"That's right, that kid isn't a threat to us. Young Master, you're worrying too much, aren't you?"”
"It's not that I'm overthinking, but I have to be wary of others. If he defeats me in front of all the heroes in the world, then my Murong family's reputation will be ruined. Why talk about reviving Great Yan?"
The two retainers immediately realized,"Young Master is indeed meticulous and thoughtful."”
Murong Fu continued," In addition, Duan Yu is the son of Dali's Zhennan King. He has a noble status in Dali. I heard that Dali Emperor Duan Zhengming has no children. Perhaps in the future, the throne of Dali Emperor will be inherited by Duan Yu."”
The two retainers were still a little confused. They could not figure out what this had to do with them.
" What I mean is, if we can build a good relationship with Duan Yu, Dali will be under our control in the future, and he will help us send troops to revive Great Yan." Murong Fu's blood was boiling when he mentioned the revival of Great Yan.
"Alright then, I'll return to Gusu City right away and prepare some gold, silver, and treasures. I'll cater to Duan Yu's preferences and make him like me," said Bao Butong hurriedly.”
"Third Brother Bao's words are wrong. As a member of the royal family of Dali, Duan Yu has lived a luxurious life since he was young. How could he be interested in gold, silver, and treasures?”Murong Fu smiled.
"Then how can we build a good relationship with him?”Feng Poliu felt that this matter was a little difficult to deal with. If it was a greedy person, he could still use money to bribe him, but he could not think of someone like Duan Yu.
" Duan Yu has always been interested in my cousin. I believe you can see that she is becoming more and more beautiful," Murong Fu said slowly.
The two retainers looked at each other and were a little surprised."Young Master, you mean…"
" Yes, let's betroth our cousin to Duan Yu. This way, he will definitely be extremely grateful. At that time, everything will be easy to handle." Murong Fu's gaze became more and more determined.
Bao Butong and Feng Polie had served Murong Fu since he was young. Although they knew that Murong Fu was willing to revive Great Yan at all costs, they were still shocked when they heard that he was going to give Wang Yuyan to someone else.
" But I'm afraid Miss Wang won't be willing." Bao Butong tried to persuade Murong Fu. He felt that it was unfair to Wang Yuyan.
Murong Fu's eyes flashed with gentleness, but it immediately turned cold."A man without poison is not a man. Although it is not fair to cousin, I am willing to pay any price for the revival of Great Yan.”
Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan had grown up together, so he naturally understood his cousin's feelings for him. However, he had always thought that his relationship with Wang Yuyan was just that of siblings, and he had never considered the feelings between men and women. In addition, he had been burdened with the feelings of his country since he was young, so he really had no time to care about his love affairs.
But last night, Wang Yuyan spoke up for Duan Yu, which made him feel an unknown anger. He himself did not know why he had lost his temper at his cousin. At that time, he felt that he still had some feelings for his cousin.
When he had personally said that he would give his cousin to Duan Yu, Murong Fu's heart skipped a beat. An inexplicable sense of loss welled up in his heart, as if something in his heart had been pulled away and was empty.
After hearing what they said, Wang Yuyan's face was already covered in tears. She leaned helplessly against the door, the food in her hands falling to the ground.
Murong Fu and the other two heard the sound and quickly came out. Looking at Wang Yuyan who was standing at the door in a daze, they could not help but call out,"Cousin…"
Wang Yuyan's tears kept flowing out as she stared at Murong Fu without blinking. Her eyes were empty and filled with despair as she pretended to be tough and said," Cousin, I won't pester you anymore. I'll leave now so that you won't be annoyed." After saying that, she ran out.
Duan Yu hurriedly helped Wang Yuyan up. Seeing her face covered in tears, Duan Yu hurriedly asked,"Lady Wang, what's wrong? Did your cousin bully you again?”
Wang Yuyan didn't reply. Instead, she pushed Duan Yu away and ran out of the inn. She just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible and didn't want to see Murong Fu again.
