Chapter 692 I Believe in My Cousin and His Wife

She had experience in leading troops in battles before, and Liao Jiu had studied with Tan Tao, who was also well-versed and understood all the schools of thought. In addition, she had the Blood Battle Army under her command, and there must be outstanding generals in the army who had been through hundreds of battles and had learned the true teachings of the King of War. If the time came, if it really didn't work, she could go to Shangrao City to ask her second brother, Erlangjun, for help.

Dabao nodded, "Okay. Then I'll leave it to Mom and Dad."

Every time there was a crisis, it was Jiang Lianzhu who led him out and protected him and his sister. Subconsciously, he trusted his stepmother the most.

The feeling of being closer and more reliable than one's own mother.

Sometimes she doesn’t feel like a mother, but more like a reliable supporter.

The person you can trust with your life will always protect you.

How lucky he was to have met such a person in his life! It was God's blessing to him.

He is willing to spend his entire life and give her the best of everything to repay her!

Liao Jiu suddenly said, "According to common sense, these small and medium-sized countries would not dare to attack our Da'an Kingdom, unless they know that the War King is no longer in our Da'an Kingdom. If he is just in seclusion, the period of seclusion can be long or short, and he can come out halfway. They should not have the courage to provoke..."

Dabao said, "I thought of that too. Not surprisingly, someone has revealed Grandpa's whereabouts."

It has been about two months since the King of War left Da'an State and there has been no news from him.

I can't get in touch with him anyway.

Everyone was silent for a while.

In addition to the three of them, people from Tianya Academy should also know about it. It is impossible for Tan Tao to leak it, but that doesn't mean others won't. After all, there are so many people in Tianya Academy, and if there is any negligence, some rumors may spread.

There is also Shangrao City, the fief of the War King. Erlang Jun should also know about it. The War King claimed to be in seclusion, and Erlang Jun was in charge of the fief. It is impossible for him not to know about it.

It is intriguing where this news leaked from.

But what is certain is that they will never tell anyone in their own family.

"I've been negligent. Now that things have come to this, there's no point in saying these things. The five countries dared to unite to deal with our Da'an Kingdom. They must have heard that the War King is not in Da'an Kingdom. But it doesn't matter. The Bloody Battle Army is still in Da'an Kingdom, in my hands. Dabao, don't be afraid. Mother has weapons in her hands. When you ascended the throne, I started to store weapons in Fengyi Palace. Now that they are causing trouble, it's just right. Kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Let's see who dares to invade our Da'an Kingdom in the future!"

Dabao felt relieved when he heard Jiang Lianzhu say this.

"Mom, that's amazing. Then I'll leave it to Dad and Mom."

Liao Jiu also knew that his wife had stockpiled weapons, filling several warehouses. He had not seen the power of the large weapons, but he could imagine that his wife had both the Blood Battle Army and super-powerful technological weapons. Well, he would just be a military advisor. With his wife around, he could easily win.

The short-sighted Aquarius Kingdom and those small countries have now walked into the trap.

Since the day Jiang Lianzhu started stockpiling weapons, she has been waiting for them to be used.

***

Everyone in Da'an knew that a war was about to break out.

I don’t know how the provincial capital will react, but the capital is now in an uproar.

Some people felt panic-stricken, but most were excited and told each other about it. Many passionate young men volunteered to join the army and fight for the Great An Kingdom.

There was an endless stream of people going to the Ministry of War to sign up.

There was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys.

"A group of scoundrels from the mere Aquarius Nation actually dared to plot against our Great An Nation and bully our newly appointed young emperor! How despicable!"

"How ridiculous! They even dared to claim that our Da'an Kingdom bought up all their food, causing their people to starve. Our little emperor bought the food with real money. If they didn't have enough food, they wouldn't sell it. It's not like they stole it. How shameless!"

"They are shameless and invincible. There are also a few small countries like Zhuhan Kingdom that I have never heard of. How dare they challenge our Da'an Kingdom? Their land area is not even as big as a provincial capital of our Da'an Kingdom. What are they doing?"

"How dare you bully our little emperor? When he grows up in two years, Aquarius will eventually become a foreign territory of our Da'an. Even now, if our regents take action, we will beat them to a pulp and make them cry for their parents!"

"That's right! Our Regent's two golden eagles alone can kill an army of a thousand men!"

…

This is a passionate and hot-blooded person.

Women, children and the elderly are also worried.

"Although our left and right regents are very powerful, it is said that several countries have come from the opposite side and are laying siege to the city. They are outnumbered and powerful. Our war king has gone into seclusion again and there is no news at all. What if he doesn't come out? What should we do?"

"No matter how wise the young emperor is, he can't accomplish anything in this situation just by being wise. I've heard that there are many barbaric and perverted people in those small countries, some even eat people."

"If something goes wrong and the attack reaches our capital, where will we escape to?"

"It would have been better to have made thorough preparations. That damned fellow of ours wants to join the army. If he really goes, how will our family survive?"

…

The residence of Prime Minister Zhou.

In the study.

Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren gathered here.

Duke of Zhou, Prime Minister Zhou, Zhou Yuan, and several trustworthy relatives such as uncles and nephews.

The Zhou family member asked, "Granduncle, are we really going to fight now?"

In the Zhou clan, Duke Zhou is regarded as a weather vane. His opinions are basically the decision of the entire Zhou clan and determine everyone's actions.

Normally, people would not come to Zhou's house in an emergency, but would come to ask for advice when something urgent happened.

Duke Zhou stroked his white beard and said, "War is really about to start. I have always been in favor of peace. Later, when Wuyang brought back the Aquarius Kingdom's letter of request, I knew that I couldn't advocate for peace. Peace doesn't come easily! Alas!"

Prime Minister Zhou also said, "Father is right. War is a waste of money and manpower. Where there is war, there will be death. Our young emperor of Da'an has just ascended the throne and can't afford to be careless. If the war situation goes badly, the country will inevitably be in turmoil. Daliangzhou will probably be the first to be in civil strife..."

The other tribesmen all had sullen faces, full of worry.

Only Zhou Yuan said firmly, "Dad, Grandfather, I think that at this point we don't need to overthink it anymore. Let nature take its course. This is a battle we must fight, so let's fight it well! I believe in my cousin and his wife. We won't necessarily lose this battle, even if the War King doesn't come out."

Duke Zhou clapped his hands. "We are not bad in Zhouyuan. Now that things have come to this, our Da'an Kingdom is like being put on the fire. We must fight even if we don't want to. Since we have to fight, we must be determined to win, no matter the cost."

Then, he said with great interest, "Okay, Zhou Yuan, tell me, how come you are so confident in your cousin and his wife?"
