Chu Yuanwu thought to himself that if the situation was just as Chu Fan said, then Chu Fan was not actually facing any real threat to his life.

After all, Chu Yuanwu knew that Chu Fan held an irreplaceable position in the hearts of the Wei people. They worshipped Chu Fan as a god and would protect him at all costs. Even in the face of powerful armies like the Xiongnu and the Gan Kingdom, the loyalty of the Wei people was as solid as a rock and could not be easily shaken.

Chu Yuanwu further imagined that if the Xiongnu or Gan people really broke through the numerous defenses and approached Chu Fan, then General Mu Yunfeng would definitely step forward without hesitation to block the fatal blow for Chu Fan. Not to mention those loyal generals and soldiers, they would also swear to protect Chu Fan's safety.

Therefore, even if Chu Fan decided to lead the army in person, he wouldn't actually face too much risk, because the entire Wei Kingdom would gather together to protect him. As a result, Chu Yuanwu's concerns gradually dissipated. He initially thought Chu Fan was going to do something dangerous, but now it seems it was just a false alarm.

Chu Yuanwu was completely relieved at this moment, and his mood relaxed. He had been worried about the safety of His Majesty Chu Fan, so that he and other royal elders were uneasy and anxious.

After all, Chu Fan's actions today were like he was making arrangements for his final resting place, leading him and others to mistakenly believe something unforeseen was about to happen. Chu Yuanwu believed Chu Fan was simply bored in the palace and longed for a change of scenery to experience the passion and excitement of the battlefield and feel the heroic spirit of a man.

Of course, Chu Yuanwu would not say anything more. After all, wanting to avenge his parents and the people of Wei was a very great thing. If he told Chu Fan in advance, wouldn't Chu Fan lose the feeling of surprise and challenge?

Chu Yuanwu asked, "Then, Your Majesty, besides the wedding, what other important matters need to be handled in the next few months?"

Chu Fan replied, "There is actually another very important thing that needs to be accomplished in the next few months. That is, we must first completely destroy Japan. I have already begun to implement the plan to destroy Japan. I should be able to hear news of gold mines and silver mountains in Japan in the near future."

As the ancestor of the royal family, Chu Yuanwu didn't pay much attention to this news. Even though Chu Anping of the Royal Government Affairs Office was Chu Yuanwu's grandson, he didn't inform him of these specific matters. After all, the plans to ally with the Canglan Empire to set up a trap for all the countries on the Shengwu Continent and completely destroy the Japanese Empire were confidential information that he couldn't easily leak.

Although Chu Yuanwu didn't understand the connection between destroying Japan and the rumors of gold and silver mountains in Japan, he heard that there was wealth to be gained, and a glint flashed in his eyes. After all, no force or individual could resist the temptation of wealth.

If the gold mines and silver mountains in Japan really exist, then they will surely become a powerful economic pillar for the royal family of Wei. After all, cultivation does not cost money. Whether it is cultivation resources or other expenses, a lot of financial support is needed.

Chu Yuanwu asked excitedly and eagerly, "Your Majesty, where did you hear that there are rich gold and silver resources in the territory of Japan? Is this true? If this information is indeed reliable, why don't you consider sending a capable team to quietly enter the territory of Japan to begin mining the mineral resources?"

Chu Yuanwu was not an official within the imperial court, so he did not suggest that Chu Fan send a large army to directly occupy Wa. Instead, he proposed a more cautious plan, which was to send a small number of smart and capable people to Wa to explore and secretly mine the mineral resources.

Such an approach could not only avoid arousing the vigilance and hostility of Wa, but also accumulate valuable wealth for Wei without causing too much conflict.

Chu Fan pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "In fact, I am not entirely sure whether Japan really possesses gold mines and silver mountains, but based on the intelligence and analysis I have, I speculate that there is a high probability that such valuable resources exist there.

However, as the ruler of a country, my primary goal is not to seize Wa's wealth, but I have a more far-reaching consideration. I want more than just wealth, but to completely destroy Wa, wiping it from this world to ensure the long-term stability of our Wei Kingdom and the peace and stability of the region.

Therefore, if Wei had sent a large-scale army to Wa in the early stages, Wa would have likely noticed the move in advance. Furthermore, if Wei had acted alone and attempted to monopolize the gold and silver mines, this would undoubtedly have alerted neighboring states and likely led them to unite and resist.

Chu Yuanwu was convinced by Chu Fan's argument, because the point Chu Fan put forward was indeed very convincing. If Wei State took action in advance, but if Wa State really had gold mines and silver mountains, then this news would not be blocked forever.

If other countries later learned that Wei had sent people to Wa first, they would probably think that Wei had obtained some secret intelligence and that Wei had discovered a huge fortune in Wa.

Because the people of Wei entered Wa first, no matter how much wealth Wei gained, they would think about how to force Wei to share the wealth, and might even unite to fight against Wei.

Chu Yuanwu commented with emotion, "Your Majesty truly has foresight and considers matters so carefully. Indeed, if other countries were to take the lead in seeking wealth in Wa, then when Wei followed suit, other countries would assume that Wei had also heard similar rumors and gone in search of wealth."

This way, Wei's actions won't attract too much attention, nor will Wa and other countries discover Wei's true intentions."

When many countries really send a large number of human resources to Japan, it is foreseeable that various conflicts and frictions will inevitably arise. These conflicts may not only occur between the sending countries, but also between these countries and Japan.

This situation would undoubtedly effectively distract all parties, creating a highly favorable external environment for Wei's subsequent actions. However, Chu Yuanwu remained puzzled, wondering why His Majesty was so determined to completely annihilate the Japanese. After all, the Japanese posed no direct threat to Wei, nor had they committed any actions likely to completely infuriate Chu Fan.
