Gu Chengyan laughed twice after hearing this.

"Of course not."

The next day, Lin Jiuyue went to town and found an opportunity to sell some of the things in the space. Then he took out some and prepared to take them home to eat.

When passing by the teahouse, the discussion of two people immediately caught Lin Jiuyue's attention.

"Have you heard? The people of Beihai Country are trying to break through the border. Several battles have already occurred at the border."

"Where did you hear this news? Don't talk nonsense. If others hear it, you will go to jail."

"What nonsense? I'm not talking nonsense. My wife's sister's cousin's husband's sister is the concubine of Prince Liang's Mansion. This news was heard by my wife. It's absolutely true!"

"Oh my God, are you saying that our Nanyue Kingdom is going to be in turmoil?"

"Who knows? Anyway, the news is true, but I don't know what the court will do. But this is not something ordinary people like us can decide. Why think so much? Let's have tea..."

Lin Jiuyue frowned.

If a war breaks out, what will happen to the mountainous lands that I have just reclaimed? In order to reclaim those mountainous lands, I have spent a lot of money to hire workers to do the reclamation.

And I have just renovated my house, and I haven't even lived in it for two days! If there is a war, won't I lose a lot?

However, I am now at the foot of the capital. Even if war comes, it should not reach here so quickly, right?

I had only just arrived here, and I didn't have any connections, not even where to ask for information. I didn't know what to do next.

Gu Chengyan! Yes, Gu Chengyan, he definitely knows.

Thinking of the importance of this matter, Lin Jiuyue immediately rode his horse at full speed towards home.

When I got home, it was lunch time and the meal was already prepared.

"Sister, are you back? Come on, the food is ready. We'll be eating when you come back."

"Well, there are some things in the carriage that I just bought. Go and take them into the house."

"By the way, where's your brother Gu? Where did he go? I have something to talk to him about."

Lin Jiuyue glanced around but did not see Gu Chengyan.

"Sister, Brother Gu heard that you've reclaimed a lot of land. He said he'd go take a look and be back soon."

Lin Jiuyue nodded.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go find him."

A hint of struggle flashed across Lin Qiye's face. It seemed as if he wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start.

"Um, sister, it's time to eat."

Lin Jiuyue had already stepped out. Without even turning her head, she just waved her hand.

"Eat later. I'll be back soon."

Before Lin Qiye could respond, Lin Jiuyue ran out.

By the time he reacted, Lin Jiuyue had disappeared.

Lin Jiuyue had just run out of the house not far when she ran into Gu Chengyan who was returning.

"Gu Chengyan, you're back just in time. I have something to ask you."

Seeing Lin Jiuyue's serious expression, Gu Chengyan thought something big had happened and looked around.

"What's the matter? How about we talk about it when we get back?"

Lin Jiuyue also saw the pedestrians on the road and nodded.

When the two returned home, Lin Qiye was sitting in the yard waiting, and the dishes on the table were still steaming.

"Sister, Brother Gu, I was just about to go look for you. I didn't expect you to come back. It's just right. The food is still hot. Let's eat quickly."

Lin Jiuyue looked at the table full of food and couldn't bear to waste her brother's hard work.

"Let's talk while we eat."

After saying this, Lin Jiuyue sat down.

Gu Chengyan said "hmm" and sat down.

Seeing that the atmosphere between his sister and Gu Chengyan was a bit serious, Lin Qiye forced himself to hold back what he wanted to say.

Forget it. Wait until my sister and Brother Gu finish talking about things, then I can talk to them myself.

At the dinner table.

"Gu Chengyan, I heard that the imperial court is going to war. Is that true?"

When Lin Qiye heard Lin Jiuyue's words, he paused for a moment, then pretended nothing had happened and continued picking up the food.

"Where did you hear this news?"

Lin Jiuyue waved her hand.

"Don't worry about where I heard it from, just tell me if it's true or not."

Gu Chengyan was silent for a moment.

"It's true."

Lin Jiuyue: ...

It’s true!

What bad luck had befallen me? I had just come across this and was fleeing famine, and my journey had been incredibly difficult.

After finally escaping to the capital, I registered my household registration and built a house. I thought I could finally live a peaceful life, but I didn't expect to encounter war again!

I just built a house and cleared a piece of land. If a war breaks out, I don’t know if I can still keep it.

"Can you be more specific? Don't force yourself, just say what you can."

The court has not issued an edict yet, which means that the court has no intention of making this matter public.

Regardless of how much Gu Chengyan knew, even if he knew everything, Lin Jiuyue was afraid that Gu Chengyan would say something he shouldn't, which would cause trouble.

Being curious is one thing, but if this curiosity causes trouble for Gu Chengyan, won’t I blame myself?

Gu Chengyan smiled.

"This matter is not a secret. All the wealthy families or those with connections in the court know about it."

Lin Jiuyue was stunned.

Any passerby on the street would know that such a big thing happened in the Kingdom of Nanyue, but I am the only one who doesn’t know?

"Well, I heard it from someone when I passed by a teahouse on my way to town today."

Lin Jiuyue has been busy with the banquet these two days and rarely pays attention to the latest news in the capital. She didn't expect that such a big thing happened in the court during this period when she was not paying attention.

Gu Chengyan nodded in understanding.

"No wonder."

"Actually, you don't need to be too nervous. You're currently living in the capital. Even if a war breaks out, it's unlikely to reach the capital in a short period of time."

It can be said that the capital of every country is the safest place. If even the capital cannot be protected, then the country is probably doomed.

Lin Jiuyue frowned.

The capital city is indeed the safest place, but I have just reclaimed so much mountain land, so won’t it be of no use?

I had originally planned to do something big at the beginning of the new year, but now it seems that my plan is going to fail again?

"Don't worry, the people in the court will take care of this kind of thing."

Lin Jiuyue frowned.

I knew this was the truth, but I couldn't help but worry. After all, I had been working so hard to open up new land. And now, after finishing it, I suddenly had to go to war!

Anyone would be worried about this, right?
