Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant-Chapter 404
Make a Pact
But his words inevitably wouldn’t get a response. On the wooden bed of golden silk with drawings of dragons and phoenixes, Ye Mu was still as thin as before, as if she would turn into dust at any time and disappear from the world.
And at night, Ye Mu actually dreamed!
In the dream, she felt someone kiss her. She still couldn’t see that person’s appearance, but she knew that person was her husband!
After Ye Mu woke up, she grabbed her head, feeling pain. She hadn’t found a way to go back, and she was her father’s only daughter. Abandoning her father to go back was impossible, but with her emotion, a heavy one, and couldn’t go back, what was she supposed to do?
As such, she sat on the bad half the night. The next day, Ye Zhende saw her weariness.
“What’s wrong? What happened?” Ye Zhende had something on his mind but didn’t dare say it. Right now, he was skeptical Ye Mu had encountered those matters.
“Nothing.” Ye Mu got up and poured water for Ye Zhende. “Dad, the superiors will send two people to come protect you, don’t think much of it.”
How could this not be thought about?! Ye Zhende was startled, and mutely said, “Mu-er, tell me honestly, did something happen?”
Ye Mu felt weird. “Dad, you’ve been acting strange. Could it be you feel something will happen?”
Seeing Ye Mu wasn’t willing to talk, Ye Zhende immediately said, “It’s not me, it’s you!”
“Me?”
Ye Zhende sighed. Might as well not hide the truth.
“Before you left, the army pressed you to stay in every possible way. I think it’s strange, there’s no reason for them not to give me this honor, and then your superior told me, said a criminal syndicate might be eyeing you.”
“What eyeing?” Ye Mu remembered that person’s words yesterday night and that phone call. “Do those people think I took their thing?”
Ye Zhende nodded. “Me and your superior believe you, we don’t think you’d take their thing, but those people seem to be looking for you, so that’s why they didn’t let you go before.”
Ye Mu frowned. “Dad, I know. Actually, someone came for me yesterday night, that’s why I applied for someone to protect you. In this period of time, you also shouldn’t casually wander about.”
Ye Zhende couldn’t help but ask, “Exactly what thing is it? I’ve asked, but Xiao Liu didn’t tell me.”
Ye Mu smiled. “Just some crazy people who want to stay alive, inventing a boring thing. It’s said it can stimulate someone’s genes and prolong a person’s life by at least fifty years.”
Ye Mu’s words made Ye Zhende’s expression suddenly grave. Until now, people had never stopped the research in the field of the human body’s genes, everyone wanted to live a long life. Once there was progress, it would definitely make everyone in the world deranged.
He solemnly asked, “Then, have you seen that thing?”
“Yup.” Ye Mu replied without care. She touched her own neck. “There was an old man who gave me an injection. I went for a check-up after that and nothing was wrong, so I’m guessing those are fake. It’s just some medical element, tools used to get money from wealthy people, but those people believed it.”
Ye Zhende was terrified. “What if you still train in the army? You’ve always been in the army before, they won’t dare to take you or anything. The drug has been injected into your body now. You say it’s fake, but the others don’t believe it! What if those deranged people kidnap you—”
“It’s fine, dad, you don’t have to worry!”
Ye Mu sighed. “I want to accompany you. In the army, I won’t be able to go home. So long as these people are taken care of, we can pass several days peacefully.”
After reassuring Ye Zhende, Ye Mu went out of the hospital room with a different look.
“Xiao Mao, I’d like you to check my blood carefully. This must be kept secret.”
Ye Mu’s friends were all those who had gone through life and death, and this one called Xiao Mao was among them.
“Sure thing, ask someone to send a blood sample over. When the result is out, I’ll tell you.”
Ye Mu nodded. After they agreed on a time, Ye Mu extracted her blood and had someone deliver it, and then went out of the hospital.
She felt it was necessary to meet with those pirates, so she went out alone and waited for those people to visit.
On the other side, the war had gone on for a few months.
Mo Country suddenly declared war on the world. This was both unexpected and expected.
It’s said it was because, that war, his most beloved woman became a living corpse, and also because of that war, countless commoners of Mo Country had suffered a lot.
All of this couldn’t end after Li Country was destroyed.
If not for the other countries to be so avaricious, how could all of this happen? So after experiencing a large war, the second war started very soon!
This time, it wasn’t that the other countries didn’t think of allying, but there was the bitter lesson from the five countries’ alliance before. None of them trusted each other anymore.
In addition, Zhao Country immediately surrendered to Mo Country. Zhao’s new empress said, so long as a fief was given to her, she was willing to bow before Mo Country and regarded Mo Linyuan as the master.
So Mo Country didn’t put effort in the beginning and got Zhao Country.
Yan Country was unwilling. They still wanted to resist, and then was attacked by the army led by Ye Xiaolang. After a month, Ye Xiaolang subdued Yan Country, and continued forward and subdued Li Country.
After all of this was over, Ye Xiaolang and Mo Linyuan set out to the other side together. The first they encountered was Yue Country.
Qi Yan didn’t expect, Mo Country helped them before, but now they wanted to attack them. As the monarch of a country, he definitely couldn’t just capitulate like Zhao Country. But Mo Linyuan didn’t want to fight him.
He sent Ye Xiaolang to continue being the chief commander, and detour from Yue Country to attack Yuan Country. He himself stayed in Yue Country. Qi Yan had no choice but to receive him as a distinguished guest. After staying for a period of time, Mo Linyuan suddenly raised a pact with Qi Yan.
“Within three months, if Mo Country can defeat Yuan Country, Yue Country will capitulate to Mo Country. I will still grant you a title like Zhao Mingyu, what do you think?”
At this moment, they were playing chess. Qi Yan was dumbfounded after he heard that. “And if you can’t?”
Mo Linyuan said, “If I can’t, we will divide this world equally. After I have Zhao, Yan and Li, I’ll help you get Wei Country and Yuan Country. When the time comes we’ll be neighbors.”
Mo Linyuan’s indifferent manner could be said extremely indifferent. His thinned finger held a chess piece. Even if his army was charging victoriously right now, even if his territory was expanding, he was not happy. That sorrow was etched in his bones.
“Deal! Didn’t think you’d raise such a favorable term. You truly are giving me special treatment,” Qi Yan couldn’t help but sound out.
