Chapter 65: The Situation of the Five Countries
The war started, and Mu Qingwan went to the frontline immediately. The food prepared by the Ministry of Revenue had already been transported to the border. The Sang Kingdom did not launch a surprise attack this time, but instead deployed its troops in a grand manner. After the declaration of war was read, it launched an all-out attack. The battlefield was filled with smoke and corpses. After a brutal siege, the Sang Kingdom suffered more than 30,000 casualties. The Qianhe Dynasty suffered fewer casualties because it was the defending party, but it also lost 8,000 soldiers, and more than 4,000 seriously injured soldiers could not participate in the war in the short term.

After this first war, what caught Qianhe Liyou off guard was that the Southern Kingdom, located in the south of the Qianhe Dynasty, also began to take military action. Small groups of military spies began to appear in the Gama Grassland at the border between the two countries. Their movements were unclear, and they were enemies, not friends.
When Qianhe Liyou got the information, he reacted immediately. He not only asked the spies to pay attention to the news of the Southern Kingdom's imperial city, but also immediately ordered the guards of the Gama Grassland to be under martial law and ready to go to war at any time. At the same time, Qianhe Liyou also sent 100,000 troops to the Gama Grassland. If the Southern Kingdom really wanted to fight Qianhe at this time, then Qianhe would fight a two-front war at all costs. As the thousand-year-old saying goes, those who violate the power of our country will be punished even if they are far away.
In a blink of an eye, the war has been going on for more than a month. In this half-month-long war, the combined casualties on both sides have reached more than 80,000, but the war is still unfolding in a more intense form. The Sang State is holding its breath and attacking Yuling Pass fiercely. It is said that the marshal of the Sang State this time is a veteran. Although he is famous for defending the city, his style of steady and solid progress is very solid. He does not seek merit but avoids mistakes. Everything in the siege is done according to the routine, which makes people feel helpless.
Although the war has not yet started in the South, the troops of both sides have entered a tense state of hostility, stationed on both sides of the Gama Grassland. The slightest disturbance may cause a war between the two countries.
Moreover, because of this war, the five major countries, including the Qianhe Dynasty, have all entered a state of high alert. Even those who are not directly involved in the war have sent a considerable number of spies to infiltrate various countries. It seems that this war is not only the business of the country at the start of the war, but also the business of all countries in the world.
While the war was in full swing, Luo Yu's 42nd birthday party arrived. At Qianhe Liyou's instruction, Luo Yu's birthday party was simple yet grand. All officials from the court, all concubines in the palace, and all members of the royal family were present.
The birthday banquet was held in the largest Tianhe Hall in the palace, which could accommodate thousands of people. At that time, the lights were on and there was singing and dancing.
"The Queen Mother Arrives"
Luo Yu was the last person to show up at the birthday banquet. Qian He Li You was already sitting in the upper seat, drinking the wine in her glass with a cold face. When she heard the attendant announce that the queen mother was coming, her eyes flickered and she looked towards the entrance of the hall.
Even for his own birthday party, Luo Yu still didn't like too bright colors. However, he didn't wear all white as usual. Instead, he added a lifelike snow plum blossom on the white brocade. The little bit of crimson made Luo Yu look more festive. However, his face was too cold, so the festive mood was reduced.
When the announcement sounded, everyone present stopped talking, the dancing in the field also stopped, and the noisy sounds disappeared in an instant. The hall was too quiet. Everyone's eyes could not help but look at the person standing at the door, the current Queen Mother Luo Yu, the most beautiful man in the Qianhe Dynasty, the most perfect existence in the hearts of countless women. Even though he was over 40 years old, he was still extremely handsome and charming. Every time people saw him, they had the urge to hold their breath.
Luo Yu did not stop because of the strangeness in the hall, but walked straight through the center of the hall and sat down at his seat. His seat was on the left side of Li You. From beginning to end, he did not look at Li You, but Li You's eyes on him never left, but became more dangerous.
Qianhe Liyou did not hide his eyes, and Luoyu also had a cold air. None of the people who could attend the birthday banquet here were fools. They all noticed something to a certain extent, and their expressions were even more cautious.
"Come here and sit here," Qian Heliyou spoke, his tone firm and unyielding.
Luo Yu's eyes finally fell on Li You, but with a stubborn look in them. He pursed his lips and his face turned a little pale, but he said nothing, silently expressing his refusal.
Qianhe Liyou's face was cold and a red light flashed in her eyes. Everyone thought she would be angry, but she laughed instead. However, this smile was more terrifying than anger.
"Do you think I should do something to you so that you will be obedient?" Whether in the past or now, she is not used to being rejected by others. She likes obedient people, but if the person she likes is not obedient, she thinks she will find a way to make him obedient.
Luo Yu is definitely not a timid person, but when he saw Li You's smile, he just felt a little scared. Although he knew in his heart that Li You would not really hurt him, he was not sure whether she would do something that he could not accept. Luo Yu could not help but think of the kiss that day. The strong feeling is still fresh in his memory.
Luo Yu wanted to refuse but was afraid of the obvious threat in Li You's words. However, he was unwilling to give up the struggle so easily. There was nothing wrong with sitting next to her, but he was afraid that if he gave in at this step, he would give in at every step in the future. He didn't dare to imagine what the final result would be.
These days, his thoughts have been revolving around Li You. He thinks about her day and night, even in his dreams there is Li You's shadow. There is the cold and silent Li You, the domineering Li You, and the gentle and tender Li You. All these different kinds of Li You have made his thoughts confused and he can't make any sense of anything.
Li You saw Luo Yu's silence and thought that he was refusing again, so he stood up without hesitation and came to Luo Yu's side. Before he could react, he grabbed his wrist and pulled him up, then ignored his struggle and brought him back to his couch, and with a little force, Luo Yu fell onto the couch.
Because it happened so suddenly, Luo Yu's body was unstable and he half leaned on Li You. Li You took the opportunity to put one arm around Luo Yu's waist and whispered in his ear: "If you dare to refuse me again, I will kiss you in front of everyone here. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
If giving him time meant that he would become so cold and stubborn, then she would take back her wrong approach and choose to let him know directly what it meant to be irresistible.
