After learning more, I found out that Lord Yu's battle line was still at the first line of the third line of defense, and there was no sign of launching an attack!

This is truly hard to understand.

Therefore, the Empress did not act rashly, but instead personally visited Lord Yu.

With her current strength, she naturally has no fear of Lord Yu. Even if the negotiations break down, she can easily leave after killing Lord Yu.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress."

Lord Yu had already received news of the situation on the other five fronts and knew that the unusual occurrences on his side would inevitably be discovered by the enemy. Therefore, he had been waiting for the Empress's arrival.

"Lord Yu."

The Empress nodded slightly, took her seat, and then frowned and said calmly, "I wonder what Marquis Yu's intention is in doing this."

"It is natural to cooperate with the Queen, each getting what they need."

Lord Yu appeared very calm, cupped his fists and smiled, "Not taking action is our way of showing sincerity."

"Oh, tell me about it."

Upon hearing this, the Empress raised an eyebrow slightly and asked without changing her expression.

"Your Majesty the Empress surely knows that a hundred years ago, the people who ruled this Western Zhou Dynasty were our Yu family."

Lord Yu then turned serious and looked at the Empress solemnly, saying, "The current royal family of the Western Zhou Kingdom is incompetent and tyrannical. Our Yu family cannot stand by and watch the country be destroyed in their hands."

After hearing Yu Xu's words, the Empress narrowed her eyes slightly.

The Empress was somewhat aware of the Yu family's current situation in Western Zhou.

Therefore, she believed what Lord Yu said. After all, this was a world where the strong were respected, and no one was willing to sit and wait for death.

only…

"I am very interested in Lord Yu's proposal."

The Empress did not immediately agree, but said with a faint smile, "But I am more interested in knowing what made Lord Yu make this decision in the end."

Lord Yu's reasoning was sound, but it wasn't particularly urgent.

Because Lord Yu could wait until after the war, when the royal forces are most exhausted, to launch a rebellion, which would be much safer and easier than acting now.

However, their choice to cooperate with the Wuya Dynasty at this time made the Empress feel that the other party was deliberately trying to help her.

The empress was not naive, and she did not think that after they had taken the women of the Ji family and humiliated the Western Zhou Dynasty, the people of Western Zhou would still want to coexist peacefully with them.

Therefore, there must be another crucial reason that Lord Yu didn't mention.

"cough…"

Lord Yu was clearly surprised that the Empress would ask such a question. His old face flushed red, and he glared at Yu Xu with a hint of disappointment.

The meaning was clear: let him say it himself.

The Empress also noticed something amiss and turned to look at Yu Xu.

"Your Majesty, Ji Weiran, a woman from the Ji family, is my beloved."

Yu Xu was also embarrassed, but he still forced himself to say, "Now that she is in danger, as a man, I should stand up and protect her."

"Oh, I see."

Now, the Empress finally understood completely.

Only then does the matter truly make sense.

Only love can make someone so blind.

"As a father, I naturally want to help my son fulfill his wish."

Marquis Yu then looked at the Empress with some embarrassment and said, "But in any case, my idea of ​​cooperating with Your Majesty is absolutely sincere. I just don't know what Your Majesty's decision is regarding my proposal?"
