Chapter 315: The Concubine Does Not Harm the Country, She Only Wants to Harm the Imperial Master (19)
"But..." Ying'er was worried. With their master's hot-tempered temper, he would definitely suffer.
Yu Huo knew what she was worried about, so he just raised his chin to the girl and urged her to go back: "Don't worry, I'll go check it out right away, and I won't let your queen suffer any loss."
Over the past month, Yu Huo and Xiang Zhige have developed a deep friendship.
By the way, the queen’s name is Xiang Zhige.
Yu Huo liked her name very much. Perhaps because she was from a family of military generals, she could best understand the harm that war would cause to a country and its people, so she came into the world with this name.
But this expectation was ultimately disappointed. The border is currently unstable. If Ningguo takes this step back, it will really become a lamb to be slaughtered and will be served on the table by other countries to be eaten.
Yue Wu was a brainless person, so he naturally couldn't see that the letter from the King of Wu was a test, so Ningguo could not retreat.
This is also the reason why Xiang Zhige got so angry when he received the news and went to find out something even in the heavy rain.
Yu Huo naturally couldn't bear to see her rush forward and suffer losses, so he could only rush to the Qinzheng Hall where the emperor lived with an umbrella.
At this time, Xiang Zhige's loud voice could be faintly heard from the room.
"Your Majesty, the Wu Kingdom invaded our Daning border. The people of Sishui Pass died defending the border. How can you marry your princess off to the Wu Kingdom? Wouldn't that chill the hearts of the people living on the border?"
Bang——
The sound of the porcelain breaking was so loud that it even covered the sound of the rain.
Yu Huo looked up at the high-hanging plaque. The three golden characters of "Qinzheng Hall" seemed extremely ironic at this moment.
"National Master, His Majesty invites you."
Yu Huo withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly to Eunuch Gao who came out to greet him. Then, in the other's indifferent look, he quickly tied the white ribbon wrapped around his wrist back to his eyes.
On this side, facing the righteous Xiang Zhige, Yue Wu was very troubled and annoyed by her rude behavior and her constant preaching.
If he wasn't afraid of Prince Zhenbei's rebellion, he really wanted to depose Xiang Zhige from the throne immediately and cut her into pieces!
Because the ghosts of the unjustly killed people in the hall haunted and frightened him every night, Yue Wu, who was living a life of day and night reversal, looked depressed and his eyes were bloodshot.
Not being able to eat or sleep well, coupled with being worried and anxious every day, naturally makes your temper not very good!
So he immediately swept the teacup on the table to the ground and smashed it to pieces.
The teacup shattered right in front of Yu Huo's feet, causing him to subconsciously stop in his tracks. At the same time, he heard the other party's angry roar in his ears.
"So what do you say we should do?"
Xiang Zhige reached out and brushed away the wet hair from his forehead, saying in a deep voice, "Attack the Wu Kingdom!"
Yue Wu laughed angrily: "Who's going? Are you going?"
Xiang Zhige didn't hesitate at all when she heard this. She simply knelt on the ground, covered in cold rain and looking disheveled. However, her back was straight and her voice was loud and clear.
"I am willing to lead the troops to attack the Wu Kingdom!"
Yue Wu was stunned by the murderous look in her eyes. He stood there for a long moment before asking dryly, "Lead the troops to fight? With those remnants of the defeated army at Sishui Pass, you... can't. If you lose, the Wu Kingdom will use this as an excuse to launch a full-scale attack."
Hearing this, Jiang Feng turned his eyes away from the book and suddenly interrupted, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The Queen is from the Zhenbei Palace. How about withdrawing 20,000 to 30,000 troops from Yanmen Pass to attack the Wu Kingdom?"
Yue Wu turned to look at Jiang Feng and her heart was moved.
Xiang Zhige frowned and glared at the person who came up with the bad idea, and quickly stopped him loudly: "No."
Jiang Feng tilted his head and was caught off guard by the tall figure that had arrived in the Qinzheng Hall at some point in time. He was stunned for a moment.
During this time, an unknown feeling of guilt enveloped him, causing him to speak softly. "Why not? There's no fighting going on at Yanmen Pass right now, and those soldiers are just sitting around doing nothing anyway."
Yue Wu couldn't help but nod in agreement: "What the beauty said makes sense."
What does idle mean?
Xiang Zhige, his eyes red, retorted loudly, "The 100,000 soldiers at Yanmen Pass are meant to intimidate Hui State. Once Hui State discovers that Yanmen Pass's fighting power has weakened, they'll realize that our Daning army is under-strength. I'm afraid we'll be attacked from all sides. Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
"This won't do, and that won't do!" Yue Wu was annoyed, frowning and snorting, "Sending a princess wouldn't be such a hassle, but you keep making excuses and making excuses. Aren't you annoying?"
Hearing these irresponsible words, Xiang Zhige's eyes turned red with anger, and his hands hanging by his side suddenly clenched into fists.
Just when she was about to rush up and punch Yue Wu hard, a light cough was heard in the silent hall. Xiang Zhige glanced at the young man who had been standing beside him for a long time, and immediately calmed down and slowly loosened his fist.
When Jiang Feng saw the firecrackers misfire, disappointment flashed across his eyes. He seemed to have just noticed Yu Huo and said softly, "Master Imperial Master, why did you come in the rain? Are you looking for the king?"
Yue Wu then glanced at the young man waiting at the threshold and shouted to the outside of the hall, "Gao Ling, please take a seat!"
The door was quickly opened and closed. Soon, a chair was placed behind Yu Huo. Eunuch Gao's slightly flattering voice sounded in his ears: "Master Imperial Master, please come this way."
After Yu Huo sat down, he looked at the outline of Xiang Zhige not far away through the thin white cloth and sighed in his heart.
It's ridiculous that the mother of a country is kneeling and he, a "charlatan", is sitting.
Yue Wu seemed to no longer want to pay attention to Xiang Zhige, and said to Huo with a pleasant expression, "State Master, you have come here in such a hurry, but do you have something to ask me?"
Yu Huo bowed his head and replied softly, "Your Majesty, dark clouds are gathering over the sky tonight. I am worried that Your Majesty may be attacked by evil spirits, so I have come to bless the talisman for Your Majesty."
Yue Wu's smile grew deeper and deeper, and he nodded: "National Master is thoughtful."
He was just about to take out the talisman he had kept close to his body when the man in front of him changed the subject: "But I seem to have come at the wrong time. I overheard some state affairs. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
The fingers that were inserted into the collar paused slightly, and Yue Wu glared at Xiang Zhige: "Master, you are worrying too much. It is just a woman's foolish opinion, not a matter of state."
Yu Huo didn't agree with him, but instead said, "Your Majesty, I observed the sky at night and found that Ziwei was dim and Tiansha was bright. Combined with the recent request for the princess from the Wu Kingdom to marry, I am afraid that this will shake the Daning Empire."
Yue Wu was a servile person. After being intimidated and healed by Yu Huo's mumbling, he subconsciously regarded him as a lifeline. He suddenly said the same thing he always said to Yu Huo every day: "Does the Imperial Master have a solution?"
Yu Huo was silent. He calculated with his fingers for a while and said in a deep voice, "Attack the Wu Kingdom."
Yue Wu hesitated, and thanks to the torture of the fire, he did not dare to refute the other party.
Jiang Feng, who had been watching coldly for a long time, looked at the embarrassed woman kneeling in the hall, a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and asked deliberately.
"Grand Master, where are those soldiers coming from? Your Majesty just recruited troops years ago, and the Empress has refused to send troops from Yanmen Pass. How will this battle be fought?"
