The World is Shocked 130. Xiling Sends Out Troops (2)

Hearing this, Mo Jingqi's face changed several times, and it took him a while to calm down. He stared at the woman standing calmly with a complicated expression. For a moment, he was not sure what Ye Li meant by showing her trump card so readily. He didn't believe that the Dingguo Palace wanted to turn against him now. Not to mention that Mo Xiuyao was not there now, even if Mo Xiuyao was in the Dingguo Palace in the capital, he would not suddenly do anything that would be detrimental to Da Chu. But if Ye Li really just wanted to provide some military intelligence, then she didn't have to speak out about Mu Qingcang's affairs openly. The Dingguo Palace had many sources of information, so why couldn't they find a suitable reason to cover it up?

After a long while, Mo Jingqi said calmly, "I know what Princess Ding said."

Ye Li looked up at the man sitting on the dragon chair, frowning slightly. Mo Jingqi did not give her a chance to speak, but stood up and waved his hand, saying, "I know about this matter, Princess Ding, please go back first."

Ye Li sighed slightly in her heart, bowed slightly and said, "Ye Li, take your leave."

After leaving Yu's study, Ye Li was about to leave the palace and return home, but was stopped by someone. Two familiar maids stood in front of Ye Li and said, "Princess, the noble concubine wants to see you." Ye Li only recalled for a moment and remembered that these two maids were the personal maids of Concubine Liu. Thinking of what she heard in the peach forest last time and the strange look that Concubine Liu gave her every time she saw her, Ye Li couldn't help but see it in her heart, and said lightly, "This concubine has something to do, please apologize to the noble concubine on my behalf." The two maids looked at each other after hearing this, but did not give way, and insisted, "Princess, please forgive me, the noble concubine has something important to tell you."

Ye Li glanced at the palace maid who was speaking and raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? What if I am definitely not free?"

"Well...please forgive us for the offense." The two men took a step forward with steady steps, a gleam in their eyes, and it was obvious that they were both martial artists.

Ye Li raised her hand slightly, signaling the surrounding secret guards not to show up. Frowning, she looked behind the two palace maids and sneered, "Your Highness is so bold that you dared to attack me outside the study?"

"If you had come to talk to me peacefully, why would I have attacked you?" Concubine Liu walked out from the corner of the palace, her voice still as cold as snow as usual. But Ye Li couldn't help but think of the sad and sorrowful voice in the peach forest. It was pitiful that Concubine Liu was in love with Mo Xiuyao but couldn't get him, but Ye Li, as Mo Xiuyao's wife, didn't feel that she sympathized with her. So when she saw Concubine Liu coming out, she just said lightly: "No matter what Concubine Liu wants to talk about, let someone attack me in the palace, have you thought about the consequences?"

Concubine Liu raised a scornful smile on her beautiful lips, "Consequences? Do you think the emperor will treat me for just you? In the past, others gave in to you only because of Prince Ding. Now that Prince Ding is not in the capital, do you think the title of Princess Ding will be of any use?" Ye Li silently looked at the beautiful woman who was staring at her with contempt. She felt Concubine Liu's contempt and disdain for her from the first time they met. Maybe in Concubine Liu's heart, no one except herself is worthy of Mo Xiuyao? But unfortunately, she also fell in love with Mo Xiuyao...

"In that case, Your Majesty, please speak up here if you have anything to say." Ye Li frowned.

Concubine Liu raised her delicate chin slightly, stared at Ye Li and said, "Come with me."

Ye Li smiled faintly, turned around and walked out of the palace gate.

"Ye Li!" Concubine Liu shouted fiercely. Seeing Ye Li turned away without hesitation, she said angrily, "Follow me and stop her!"

The two palace maids immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Ye Li, one on the left and one on the right. A cold light flashed in Ye Li's eyes, and a cold light flashed from her sleeves. The silver-white hem of her clothes drew a dazzling arc in the sunlight, and at the same time brought out two enchanting blood flowers.

"Oh…!"

Two screams rang out, and the two palace maids held their wrists with pale faces and looked at the silver-dressed woman in front of them in horror. The bright red blood instantly stained the pink wide sleeves. Ye Li raised the dagger in her hand and looked at it. The bright red blood slid down along the snow-white path and slowly dripped into the mud under her feet. Concubine Liu Gui's usually cold and icy face finally changed color. Although she was not an absolute master, she was also a first-class woman. Even so, she didn't even see how Ye Li made the move. Staring coldly at Ye Li in front of her, Concubine Liu Gui didn't say a word for a long time.

Ye Li calmly looked at Concubine Liu Guifei, without any intention of apologizing or explaining her hurtful behavior. The two palace maids held their wrists and looked at Ye Li with eyes full of fear and terror.

"Ye Li! Hello..." Concubine Liu Gui's face turned pale with anger, and she stared at Ye Li hatefully.

Ye Li glanced at her calmly, then turned and walked out of the palace. The two palace maids who were standing in front of her hurriedly hid to the sides, fearing that they would block the path of the female evil star and lose another hand.

As soon as they left the palace, Feng Zhiyao, Zhuo Jing and others were staring at the palace gate. Seeing Ye Li's ugly face, Feng Zhiyao asked worriedly: "Princess, what happened? The emperor doesn't believe us?" Ye Li waved her hand and said: "It's okay. We will know tomorrow whether the emperor believes it or not. Order the Dingwang Mansion to be on guard at all times. If there is no movement in the palace tomorrow..." Feng Zhiyao's face changed slightly, and he whispered: "The princess plans to mobilize The Mohist Army? This will give the Emperor an excuse to attack the Fu Ding Palace. "Ye Li looked back at him and asked, "Now that there is no excuse, the Emperor will not attack the Fu Ding Palace? Moreover... if it is true, Xiling will definitely come with great force this time. If it is delayed, I am afraid that we will not be able to control the future war. Don't worry, the troops near the capital cannot be mobilized for the time being. The Emperor can't find an excuse here. Zhuo Jing, ask Qin Feng to come back to see me."

"Yes." Zhuo Jing said in a deep voice, "The suggestive intelligence has just been delivered. Recently, the troops at the border of Xiling have been ready to move as early as a month ago. I'm afraid Mu Qingcang's news is true."

Ye Li's eyes turned cold, "Your Highness is right, those wastes at the border should indeed be replaced! Go back to the palace!"

At the morning court the next day, the emperor did not mention anything about Xiling's upcoming military expedition.

On the third day, there was still no news from the palace.

After the morning court session on the fourth day, the emperor summoned several trusted officials to the study room to see him. However, there was still no news about the transfer of troops, food and fodder.

The atmosphere in Prince Dingguo's mansion also became heavier as the palace fell silent. Ye Li finished listening to the morning court in the study room. She closed her eyes tiredly and said in a deep voice, "Qin Feng."

"I'm here." Qin Feng replied in a deep voice.

"The originally scheduled assessment is cancelled. You will lead the team to set off at full speed to the border tonight."

Qin Feng responded without hesitation: "I will obey your orders."

Ye Li looked up at him and said, "I'm not asking you to lead people to the border to join the war. Even if you are one against a hundred, you can't stop a hundred thousand troops. Divide the border areas and find out all the information about Xiling and the war situation."

Qin Feng nodded and said, "I understand."

"Go ahead."

The war broke out faster than Ye Li had imagined, because Xiling sent out troops not on August 15th, but on August 9th. By August 15th, the news of Xiling's invasion had already reached Chujing. What was even more shocking was that this time, Xiling Zhennan King personally led an army of 500,000 to attack Dachu, vowing to avenge the defeat to Mo Liufang. The Xiling army had been preparing for several years, and they were unstoppable. They took two cities in one day, and the whole Chujing was shaken. Ye Li, as the mistress of Dingguo Palace, was also urgently summoned by the emperor to the palace for a meeting.

After a few days, Ye Li stepped into Yu's study again, but the situation was completely different from the last time. As soon as she stepped into Yu's study, she could clearly feel the solemn atmosphere in the study. Ye Li glanced at the people in Yu's study, Prime Minister Liu, Marquis Muyang, General Zhenguo, Marquis Nan, Marquis Nan's son, Leng Qingyu, Duke Hua, and a young man who looked familiar to Ye Li but she didn't know him. He didn't have an official uniform, but stood beside Mo Jingqi's desk in a silk dress. Ye Li frowned and instinctively disliked this person. This person's shrewd eyes were filled with deep calculations, which ruined his originally handsome face. Ye Li lowered her eyes indifferently. There were eight people in the study room. Prime Minister Liu, Marquis Muyang, and the generals who controlled the state were all the emperor's confidants. Marquis Nan had never cared about worldly affairs. Although Duke Hua was close to Prince Ding's Mansion, he was already old and had been idle at home for many years.

"Ye Li has seen the emperor." Ye Li bowed slightly.

"Your servants have met Princess Dingguo." Everyone saluted in unison.

Mo Jingqi waved his hands in a somewhat annoyed manner and said, "Princess Ding, please excuse me. Have you heard about the urgent 800-mile border crossing today, Princess Ding?"

Ye Li nodded, and Mo Jingqi frowned and asked, "What do you think?"

The old Duke Hua took the lead and said, "Of course we should send troops to support them immediately and strike hard at the bandits in Xiling, so that Xiling won't think that our Great Chu is easy to bully!"

Mo Jingqi frowned and said, "Old Duke has also heard that Xiling is led by Xiling Zhennan King himself. Although Zhennan King was defeated by the Regent King, it was only a one-step difference. He has always been known as the God of War in Xiling. Which general do you think is suitable to lead the army?"

Marquis Muyang and the general looked at each other and couldn't help frowning. Duke Hua snorted and stepped forward and said, "Although I am old, I am willing to lead the troops to fight and promote the prestige of our country."

As soon as these words came out, Marquis Muyang and the generals who were guarding the state could not help but change their expressions. Leng Qingyu and the son of Marquis Nan, who were standing in the back, lined up and said, "I am willing to lead the troops to fight and promote the prestige of our Great Chu."

, Mo Jingqi looked at the two of them, smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Old Duke, you are too serious. You are over 70 years old and it is time for you to enjoy your life. If you still let you lead the troops to fight, wouldn't it make the men of Da Chu feel ashamed? What do you think?"

"Your Majesty is wise."
