Chapter 130
The Empire's Greatest Secret
The expeditionary force has conquered Jinjing! The Yehe royal family has retreated to their ancestral homeland of Heishui!
As soon as the scouts reporting the victory entered the Great Wall, the good news was spread to the entire Youzhou by a large number of messengers sent by Guan Ying, who was ordered to guard the Great Wall!
The previous battles against the grasslands and the obstruction of Tiance were all for the purpose of the expeditionary force completely wiping out Yehe’s old enemy!
The expeditionary scouts who returned from the battlefield were surrounded by soldiers and generals and returned to Yanjing to report their victory, receiving cheers from the people along the way!
Liu Buqi, who was in confinement, was a little puzzled. Guan Ying was not a flamboyant person, and such military and national affairs should have been reported to her first. How come it had caused such a stir before she had even said anything?
When the scouts who came to report the victory walked into Prince Yan's mansion and even brazenly broke into Liu Buqi's bedroom, she suddenly realized why this enemy who had been killed thousands of times had come back.
…
Yue Lingxi was really at a loss as he clumsily picked up the sleeping child with his arms!
Bai Qiangwei, who followed back, was extremely excited. She could still vividly remember the scene of her master tiptoeing to pick up Yue Lingxi. Although things and people have changed now, the blood inheritance is still so magical.
Guan Ying has already told Yue Lingxi all the ups and downs that Youzhou has experienced during this period.
Looking at the person on the bed who was looking at him nervously and obviously pretending to be innocent, Liu Buqi glared at him fiercely!
Bai Qiangwei took the child in her own time and looked up to signal the servants around her to leave with her. What was about to happen was a private conversation between the couple and it was not appropriate for others to be present.
"The Youzhou Fox Spirit has really earned such a great reputation. It drives away wolves and tigers, and is feared by all directions. It gives birth to children on the battlefield and roams around the palace, making countless heroes bow down to it. I admire it very much!" Yue Lingxi said in a bad mood!
Liu Buqi knew he would be resentful, so it was time to act like a spoiled little woman, "My Lord, I know I am wrong. I will get out of bed and kneel to accept the punishment. I will move out of the palace tomorrow and make way for Princess Yan. I will not disturb you two!"
Looking at Liu Buqi who looked like she was crying, Yue Lingxi knew that she was pretending, but he could only lift her up heavily and put her down gently. Over the years, he had been completely controlled by this "witch"!
"We both agreed that if anything happened in Yanjing, you had to send me a message immediately. But you didn't tell me anything yourself and even ordered Song Chen not to report it. I didn't run into that killer this time. Otherwise, fifty military sticks would have been too easy for him!"
Yue Lingxi sat down on the edge of the bed while talking. Liu Buqi quickly leaned on his arms and naturally put his big hands around her waist.
Yue Lingxi was angry because Liu Buqi didn't tell him in advance. Although he understood that this was for the overall situation of Youzhou, he still felt unhappy.
Now Liu Buqi looks like a little woman, and she seems to be back to the time when she was in the straw hut in the horse farm!
At that time, he was not the powerful King of Yan, and she was not the clever fox who planned and strategized. Instead, their life was plain and comfortable!
Liu Buqi naturally knew why Yue Hanxin was angry. In essence, she was just a little woman who longed to be protected in a man's arms.
But ever since Yue Lingxi embarked on this path, as Youzhou's power grew, the responsibilities they shouldered and the number of people standing behind them and relying on them became more and more numerous and heavier!
The time I spend quietly nestling in his arms like this is becoming less and less. Even though I feel helpless, there is nothing I can do. How can everything in this world really go as I wish?
It was not until the lights came on that Bai Qiangwei came in to light the lamp, waking up the two people who were sleeping in each other's arms. During this period, both Yue Lingxi and Liu Buqi were too tired to have a good sleep!
Stretching his waist, Yue Lingxi looked back at the sleepy Liu Buqi. Only by her side could he sleep so soundly without restraint!
…
The warmth can only last for a moment. Yue Lingxi came back in person this time because he could not contain his joy of becoming a father for the first time. He had to come back to take a look no matter what to feel at ease!
Second, there is a secret matter that must be discussed with Liu Buqi before a decision can be made!
"What? How is this possible?" Liu Buqi looked at Yue Lingxi in shock, as if something unbelievable had come out of his mouth!
"At first, I didn't believe it either, but judging from various signs, this matter is very likely to be true!" Yue Lingxi's face still seemed to retain a bit of the shock he had at that time!
Yue Wuji, the Marquis of Guannei, is the bloodline of the grassland Khanate!
This earth-shattering news, even if it is announced to the world now, will only make people laugh!
Who can believe it? Who will believe it? Who dares to believe it?
But Yue Lingxi was already convinced! Not only because this sentence came from the mouth of Yehe Lord Wanyan Hongyu! More importantly, this secret was related to the mystery of the previous emperor's disastrous defeat!
…
The expeditionary force of Youzhou had actually already captured Jinjing a long time ago, but because the roads were closed due to the battle on the Great Wall, the news was not revealed!
Furthermore, no one would have thought that Yue Lingxi would capture Jinjing, which the previous emperor had spent a long time to capture, in just a few days!
Therefore, various forces did not pay too much attention to the Yehe War, and just regarded it as another protracted war. Some people even expected the Prince of Yan to repeat the mistakes of the previous emperor!
No one would have thought that, including Liu Buqi and Zhu Caicai, the two initiators of the economic war against the Yehe tribe for several years, had anticipated it!
The Yehe tribe had long been a hollow shell! The barter economic system was completely defenseless against even the initial stages of economic warfare, or perhaps no one even realized this was a problem!
Until the entire Yehe had no more food reserves, no weapons available, and was short of food and clothing, and the Yehe people fought hard to get more Taiyue gold, silver and jewelry, but could not solve the problem of food, the entire Yehe tribe's war potential had disappeared!
Even though Wanyan Hongyu realized the seriousness of the problem and launched a war against Youzhou, it was only a last gasp. After being defeated, his army was in a state of disarray. Not only did he lose the Lushan barrier, but he also lost the foundation for Yehe to compete for the world!
During this expedition, the Youzhou Hungry Wolf Army, which had entered Yehe earlier, used their rudimentary special warfare techniques to cut off and burn the little remaining food reserves in Yehe!
When the Youzhou army besieged the city of Jinjing, they carried out assassinations and arson in the city, which disrupted the people's morale and immediately destroyed the Yehe people's determination to fight a final battle!
How could the Yehe tribe, with its demoralized people, food shortages, and lack of troops, organize the defense of Jinjing more than 20 years ago? Even if they retreated to their ancestral homeland of Heishui, what would be the outcome?
During this Youzhou expedition, various parties within Taiyue were restraining each other, and the grassland Khan Yesen was on an expedition to the west. Yehe no longer had all the "external aid" that was unexpected more than 20 years ago!
Therefore, Wanyan Hongyu, who had already anticipated failure, entered the Youzhou camp alone, intending to use a secret in exchange for the longevity of the Yehe bloodline!
