Chapter 415 Murong Yi takes action
Two days later, the secret guards discovered that many suspicious people had come near the Qingniu Mountains. They stayed in the mountains and kept looking towards Qingniu Pass.
It's easy to guess what these people are here for. Unfortunately, not only are there no corpse soldiers, but even the soldiers from Xifeng Country can't be seen much.
Su Yue had already discovered these people who came to investigate, and arranged the soldiers to work. The first thing was to build their camp. In order not to disturb the residents, they had always built tents next to the residential area. Such tents could be lived in in spring and autumn, but how could people live in them in summer and winter? They would either die of heat or freeze to death.
So Su Yue’s first priority was to improve their housing problem. She wanted to turn the military camp here into a home for the soldiers. Only when they regarded this place as their home would they protect this home wholeheartedly.
She had also seen that there was a large piece of vacant land outside Qingniu Pass. Those vacant lands could be reclaimed and used as farmland or to grow crops.
From now on, soldiers can farm and be self-sufficient, and even if the court's food supply is insufficient or untimely, they don't have to wait on the sidelines.
Just like this time, if they arrived half a day late, the soldiers of Qingniu Pass would be wiped out, or even if they were not wiped out, they would have starved to death.
Although the soil there is not very good, it is completely possible to grow sweet potatoes. It just so happens that a lot of sweet potato vines have been harvested in the space, and they can be planted here after the spring.
Su Yue also thought that those sweet potato vines could be used to feed pigs. The piglets in her space were all ready. When the time comes, she can build a row of sheds and raise chickens, ducks, pigs and cows. There will be many animal cubs in the space.
So those who came to him to investigate the corpse soldiers could just investigate casually.
She also asked Murong Li to open the door for those people, allowing them to enter and exit the Qingniu Mountains.
She not only left those people disappointed, but also worried.
The disappointment, of course, was that the so-called zombie soldiers were not seen. Without evidence, no one dared to start a war easily.
The worry is, of course, to let them see the current development of Qingniu Pass. If they want to have any evil ideas, they can see if they can destroy the city wall of Qingniu Pass.
Sure enough, those people came with great joy but left disappointed.
Gradually, the rumors about Murong Li raising corpse soldiers died down, and there were no more calls for punishment, and there was no movement from the Southern Feng Kingdom and the Northern Feng Kingdom.
The two countries are not stupid. This news was passed to them by Dongfeng Country, and the purpose is self-evident.
If you want to use them as tools, it depends on whether they are willing or not.
Especially in the case of Nanfeng Kingdom, the Crown Prince of Nanfeng and Murong Li were still cooperating in business. He did not believe the rumors and suppressed the news about Nanfeng Kingdom and brought a letter to Murong Li.
The Beifeng Kingdom was in the midst of internal strife at the time, so who would have the time to bother with the affairs of the Xifeng Kingdom?
As long as they don’t attack Beifeng Kingdom, they don’t care what happens to the world.
This made Murong Yi very anxious. Seeing that the rumors were gradually dying down, the emperor not only did not call Murong Li back to punish him and give an explanation to the people of the world, but also suppressed the rumors.
After court that day, Murong Yi did not return to the Ministry of War, but came to the Imperial Study to ask to see the Emperor.
When the emperor heard that it was he who came to ask for an audience, he agreed.
Murong Yi entered the Imperial Library with a worried look on his face. He immediately knelt down and said worriedly, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father."
The emperor saw that he looked like he had lost his parents and asked him in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"
Murong Yi said with a sad face: "Father, I am deeply worried."
The emperor glanced at him and asked nonchalantly, "You have food and drink every day, so why are you still worried?"
Murong Yi sighed, "Father, everyone in the world is talking about Fourth Brother raising corpse soldiers. Aren't you worried at all?"
"Worry?"
The emperor looked at him with amusement: "What is there to worry about? Even if the fourth brother raises corpse soldiers, isn't that a good thing? Why should I worry about it?
If there really are hundreds of thousands of zombie soldiers, wouldn’t that strengthen the military strength of our Xifeng Kingdom?
And what are you worried about there?
Worried about other people's gossip?
Or do you want to be like everyone else, to put justice above all else and kill your fourth brother to give the world an explanation?"
Doesn't he know what his son is thinking? He is so stupid. No matter whether the fourth son raises corpse soldiers or not, it will only benefit the Xifeng Kingdom and not cause any harm.
In his eyes, raising corpse soldiers is not a crooked thing, but rather a way to make the best use of resources. After all, they are the citizens of Xifeng Kingdom, and they contribute to Xifeng Kingdom whether they are alive or dead. There is nothing wrong with that.
Moreover, the corpse soldiers don’t need to eat or drink, which saves him a lot of food and money.
He also didn't believe Murong Li's nonsense about raising hundreds of thousands of corpse soldiers. If that were true, that would be a considerable force. With those hundreds of thousands of corpse soldiers, they would have already attacked Dongfeng Kingdom and would not have allowed the people of the world to attack them.
Especially Su Yue's character. She is a vindictive and petty person. She will definitely retaliate against anyone who dares to slander her and her husband like this.
Even if there are hundreds of thousands of zombie soldiers, the border troops are not strong now. Dispersing and injecting those hundreds of thousands of zombie soldiers can completely strengthen the border troops.
If other countries invade, he won't be afraid at all. He will just send his zombie soldiers to the battlefield and kill those bastards.
"Your son..."
Murong Yi was speechless for a moment. Seeing the emperor's expression gradually changing, he knew that the emperor was not at all opposed to Murong Li's raising soldiers, and he agreed with it very much.
If he dared to say anything negative about Murong Li again, he was sure that he would not be able to walk out of the imperial study safely today.
The emperor waved his hand at him and said, "I know what you are thinking. You don't need to waste your words. Don't say it's for the good of Xifeng Country. If it is true, you should take good care of yourself and don't drag your feet with the fourth brother. Otherwise, don't blame me for not thinking of the father-son relationship."
Murong Yi's thoughts were pulled out by the emperor and thrown to the ground. His face turned pale, and then he said obediently: "Yes, father, I understand. I will take my leave."
There is no need to quibble in front of the emperor.
The emperor didn't even bother to look at him, but picked up the memorial on the table and read it carefully.
Murong Yi left the palace in panic, returned to Prince Yi's Mansion, and went to the study alone.
"master."
Suddenly a man in black jumped out from the darkness.
"We should take action." Murong Yi said viciously.
He originally didn't want to take action against the old man, but wanted to take this opportunity to kill Murong Li. Unexpectedly, it was just a lot of noise but little action. Since that's the case, he must take action. If he doesn't, he will have no chance.
Regardless of whether Murong Li raising corpse soldiers was true or false, he would not allow himself to wait any longer. He must take that position before Murong Li came back.
