Chapter 490: Obtain the Jade Seal and the Throne
Ye Zheng also took a nervous breath at this time and said, "The king of the Neng Kingdom asked Arslan to find the jade seal, and Arslan ran to our Yan Kingdom. Is that right—"
Having said that, he himself was a little afraid to continue.
Because this matter is really unbelievable.
Zhu Feng, on the other hand, said in a deep voice, "The seal of the Neng Kingdom is in our country?"
“…”
Ye Zheng frowned and looked at him: "Your Majesty, is this possible?"
“…”
"Didn't he come to our Neng Kingdom to negotiate peace?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, then said, "He is indeed here to negotiate peace."
“…”
"However, he came to Yan Country, not only to negotiate peace, but also to another place."
Ye Zheng opened his eyes wide: "Where?"
“…”
Zhu Feng didn't say anything.
He just turned and walked towards where the horses were tied. Ye Zheng hurriedly followed. As the two of them untied the reins, Zhu Feng said, "We need to go back quickly and get ready."
Ye Zheng was stunned and turned to look at him: "What are you preparing for?"
"Prepare for war."
"Prepare for war?!"
Ye Zheng opened his eyes wide and gasped.
Thinking about what the man had just said, he hurriedly asked, "Does the emperor suspect that the 200,000 troops assembled by the Prince of Beili are intended to attack Peking?"
"right."
"Why?"
“…”
"Isn't he going to fight for the throne?"
"With an army of 200,000, he can fight for the throne, but based on the public opinion he created before, even if he kills Monk and the others, he won't be able to keep the throne."
“…”
Ye Zheng thought about it and immediately understood: "Jade Seal?!"
"Yes," Zhu Feng said in a deep voice, "Since Monk asked Arslan to look for the jade seal, and Arslan came to our Yan Country, it is obvious that they know some clues that point to our country."
“…”
"So, the fact that the seal of the Neng Kingdom is within our country is not necessarily a fantasy."
“…”
"And this kind of thing probably can't be hidden from Ashig..."
“…”
"It should be said that he can't hide it from the Imperial Master behind him."
“…”
"And the other public opinion they created—the idea of obtaining the imperial seal and the throne—was used, on the one hand, to blame Monk, and on the other hand, to leave a way out for themselves."
“…”
"Now that he knows the clues to the jade seal may lead to our country, and we have cut off his business in our mines, he must fight this battle."
“…”
"First, it can establish my authority in the country; second, it can be used to find the imperial seal."
After listening to his analysis, Ye Zheng, who had not shivered in the cold wind, suddenly shuddered at this moment.
He said, "Your Majesty, before, those people who were responsible for Jie Shi bought mines in our country and forged weapons privately. Could it be that they were doing this for the sake of—"
"It's all for this battle."
Zhu Feng's eyes were gloomy.
He said, "Haven't you already closed down all those weapon forging shops?"
"Yes."
"Where are the workers?"
"They've been detained. They don't know the real story, they just do it for money. It's a bit troublesome to convict them."
Zhu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "No need to convict them, just release them all."
"ah?"
Ye Zheng looked at him in surprise.
Zhu Feng looked up at the sky. Although the wind was blowing the broken snow against his body, the dark clouds above his head indicated that an even bigger snowstorm was coming.
He untied the reins and jumped on the horse. Ye Zheng hurriedly followed. The two of them rode their horses and turned around and galloped towards the city of Peking.
