"Good boy, I grant it." It must be said that Yun Tianmo knows how to grasp people's hearts, especially the thoughts of those in power.
It is often said that military generals are simple-minded, but this Yun Tianmo can excel on the battlefield, navigate politics, and lead the younger generation with his remarkable skills. One wonders where he finds so much time.
"That's excellent; I thank you here." Nan Gong Yao's response was expected. Having Li Meng and his nation mutually restrain each other would make things much easier for him in Dream Nation.
"Then afterwards..." With two hundred carts, Dream Nation is certainly not foolish. Nan Gong Yao wanted to probe Yun Tianmo's next plans. However, he was directly blocked by a statement from the Sovereign that there was no need for concern; he had his own plans.
"Arrogant!" Watching Yun Tianmo's departing figure, Nan Gong Yao felt both amused and exasperated. Among all the princes of various nations, when it comes to strategy, no one could match him. He indeed had the capital to be arrogant.
In Exiled Nation, all nobility involved in the smuggling of herbs were imprisoned and would be exiled after autumn.
Efforts were made to soothe the major cities and surrounding towns lacking herbs, strictly controlling security issues to prevent any riots.
Led by the Lin family, Sidu Family, and Zhao Family, a Royal Trading Company was formed to renegotiate trade matters regarding herbs with Dream Nation.
A day would be chosen to hold a banquet for Cloud Nation's Ninth Prince to express Exiled Nation's goodwill towards Cloud Nation.
Four National Decrees were issued one after another after Yun Tianmo left. The severe punishment for the implicated nobility was announced nationwide; it would be hard for Dream Nation not to know.
When the shadow guard reported back, Yun Tianmo also issued several commands to arrange matters in Dream Nation going forward.
He had stayed in Exiled Nation long enough.
"Yun Tianmo, Yun Tianmo, this Prince has arrived; where are you..."
Nangong Tuo? Why is he here again?
He dismissed the shadow guard and picked up a chess manual from his desk, completely ignoring Nangong Tuo's presence.
With a loud bang, the study door was pushed open.
“Yun Tianmo, didn’t you see This Prince has arrived? You…” Before he could finish his sentence, a book was thrown at him, hitting his face and causing Nangong Tuo to yelp in pain.
“Didn’t Nangong Sovereign teach you to knock before entering?” How could Exiled Nation have such a reckless prince?
“You’re throwing books at me? Let me tell you, I came here today to demand an explanation! What did you say at my residence? That I’m brainless? How am I brainless? Why don’t you explain! If you don’t clarify things today, I won’t let this go easily!” It was unclear what had gotten into Nangong Tuo today; he burst in and started shouting immediately.
“What are you referring to?” There were plenty of foolish things Nangong Tuo had done, but Yun Tianmo couldn’t recall them all at the moment.
“It’s about last time. Didn’t I listen to your advice and spread the news about Father and Ouyang Hao in the palace? Then, then…” That damn Yun Tianmo really hit hard. While rubbing his sore nose, Nangong Tuo cursed him inwardly.
“Then you went into the palace to apologize and got scolded by your father?” That incident hadn’t even officially entered the Capital of the Departed Nation yet. How dull could this kid be to only think of asking now?
“Exactly! I only did it because I listened to you…” Nangong Tuo stopped rubbing his nose and looked at Yun Tianmo with a pitiful expression.
“But it was you who came to me asking for advice?”
Nangong Tuo thought for a moment and realized it was true; he had sought out Yun Tianmo because he was annoyed by those people.
“I was the one who suggested you go into the palace and walk into a trap?”
Walk into a trap? At that time, he had only been thinking about how to shake off the stigma of stepping on Ouyang Hao to rise to power, without considering how his father would react upon finding out. Later, when the guards reminded him, of course he had to go into the palace to apologize. How could that be walking into a trap?
Seeing Nangong Tuo’s confused expression made it clear he hadn’t figured this out yet.
“Who knew it was you spreading the news?” Yun Tianmo no longer wanted to look at Nangong Tuo. They had identical faces, but how could their brains be so different?
“You… me… wait, are you saying Father didn’t know it was me…!” Nangong Tuo’s eyes widened in shock, his mouth agape as if he had just realized something.
Identical faces with completely opposite personalities; when Master brought that person before him back then, it truly surprised Yun Tianmo for a while. In this world, there were actually two people with no blood relation who looked so alike.
While Nangong Tuo continued to shout and fuss beside him, Yun Tianmo remained lost in thought— that person from back then had grown up quite well. He just wondered if he would truly be able to assist him wholeheartedly in the future as Master had said. Although he didn’t regard the identity of Exiled Nation’s prince highly, it might not be an irresistible temptation for that person.
If one day he grew tired of lurking in the shadows and wanted to take Nangong Tuo’s place, it would be quite easy for him. When that time comes…
"Hey, Yun Tianmo, are you even listening!" After pacing back and forth in the study and saying a lot of things, Nangong Tuo finally realized that Yun Tianmo had zoned out!
"Even if I go to the palace to plead guilty, it doesn't mean I'm admitting to anything foolishly. Do you understand? It's because... it's because I have filial piety, yes! Filial piety! If my father finds out, won't my punishment be lighter..." Nangong Tuo finally found a reason for himself.
If Ouyang Zixin were here at this moment, he would pat him on the shoulder and tell him that his thinking was not wrong; as the saying goes, honesty brings leniency, and confessing can lead to a lighter sentence!
Unfortunately, in the study, besides Nangong Tuo, there was only Yun Tianmo. So Nangong Tuo's reasoning went unacknowledged, not even receiving a comforting glance.
Coughing lightly, Yun Tianmo's attitude left Nangong Tuo feeling quite disheartened. Thinking further, if he were to compete with Yun Tianmo in patience, he would undoubtedly lose. He had no choice but to explain his true intentions.
Wasn't Yun Tianmo interested in Ouyang Hao and Ouyang Zixin? He had even hidden his identity and followed him around pretending to be a guard just to investigate those two. So why not take out the fresh news he just received and tease him a little!
"Yun Tianmo, this Prince just received some news about Ouyang Hao, hot off the press! Want to know?"
Seeing Nangong Tuo's smug expression, Yun Tianmo found it amusing. Did he really think he was completely unaware of the news from Xuan Shi Mansion?
But considering that Nangong Tuo had a face identical to that person’s, he decided to let him bask in his self-satisfaction for a while.
"Oh?" With an uplifted tone, Yun Tianmo feigned interest, instantly boosting Nangong Tuo's spirits.
Hehe, I knew this topic would catch your interest! Hurry up and ask me, hurry up! Nangong Tuo felt immense satisfaction inside as he waited for Yun Tianmo to inquire.
