Chapter 431 Danger is Coming
"What is the situation now?"
Wei Qingyan asked hurriedly.
Shi Yu poured her a cup of warm water and brought it to her lips, "As soon as Chi Lie started the war, the commander of the border city opened the city gate and surrendered.
Moreover, the news was kept secret. If we hadn't sent Lan Ting secretly, I'm afraid the imperial city would not have received the news by now.
Qingyan, the border town commander surrendered too easily. I suspect there's some conspiracy going on."
"Do you suspect that Shoujiang and Chilie are colluding?"
Shi Yu shook his head slightly, "I've checked. The border city commander was promoted by Lin Wanzhi. Lin Wanzhi has always kept a tight rein on her people. Without her instructions, the commander probably wouldn't dare to betray the country.
Since he was promoted to a general guarding the border, he must be capable. Why did he surrender after one battle?
Moreover, Lin Wanzhi had previously planned to use the plague method to deal with Chi Lie's invasion, which shows that she was on guard against Chi Lie before.
But ever since Zhian dreamed of her past life and asked her to hand over the national seal and support me to take the throne, she has stopped caring about many things, as if she wants to make things difficult for me.
So I guess, maybe it was at that time that she chose to cooperate with Chi Lie.
In her previous life, she allowed the people of the two cities to suffer from the plague in order to deal with Chi Lie. In this life, she can also abandon the border city to deal with us."
"If that's the case, then it's equivalent to her ceding the city to Chi Lie."
Wei Qingyan sat up straight, "She worked so hard to gain the imperial power, but in order to deal with us, she gave up the land of Fengzhao.
She was not afraid of Chi Lie's wolfish ambitions and his attempt to seize more of Feng Zhao's territory, as she was coveting Chi Lie.
What is the purpose?
"Perhaps she has something more important than Fengzhao's territory."
Shi Yu looked at Wei Qingyan with a complicated expression in his eyes, "Do you still remember what the mad doctor said? The Fengzhao Dragon Vein has been destroyed, and the country's fortune is about to end. It is a sign of the country's demise.
The uncle also told us that Lin Wanzhi has been planting pawns in various countries over the years. Perhaps her ambition is not just Feng Zhao, but the entire world.
Wei Qingyan's eyes were slightly startled, and then he suddenly realized, "That's why she didn't hesitate to use the Feng Zhao Dragon Vein and the National Destiny as a formation.
No wonder, I was wondering before, what was the point of her taking the trouble to plan her rebirth at the cost of Feng Zhao's country being destroyed.
I underestimated her. I didn't expect her to be so ambitious. But now I think about it, she was hiding behind Shi Dehou and was the mastermind behind the scenes. She must have known Shi Dehou's ambition to unify the world.
She has been reborn several times, so she must be more conceited than Shi Dehou. It is not surprising that she has such ambitions..."
She paused for a moment and looked at Shi Yu, "Is her ultimate goal me?"
Shi Yu nodded, "That's probably the case. She knew very well that this was her last life, but since she had the ambition to rule the world, she naturally didn't want to die in just a few decades."
"So, this is her real purpose in capturing me. She wants to remain in the world forever, whether by taking over someone else's body or resurrecting like the Mad Doctor."
Wei Qingyan frowned, "Then how did she plan to attack me before? And what happened to the city she gave up?"
If the purpose of Lin Wanzhi's cooperation with Chi Lie was for her, he must have done something to make Shi Yu too busy to take care of her, so that Lin Wanzhi would have the opportunity to attack her.
Shi Yu was silent for a moment before he said, "Chi Lie massacred the city. Except for the surrendered generals and soldiers, no one, young or old, survived."
"Damn it, she really deserves to die." Wei Qingyan's face turned cold in an instant.
No.
She is dead.
It was still too easy to die.
Wei Qingyan unconsciously tightened the talisman in his arms, "I will send her down right now. I must let her feel the fear and pain of the people in the city before they die."
Although Shi Yu had more to say, seeing her chest heaving violently, he knew that she was very angry, so he nodded in agreement.
If she didn't do this, she would be unable to calm down.
A quarter of an hour later, Wei Qingyan finished his work and spoke again, "She used the people of the city to set up this trap. Does she want you to lead the army in person?"
Shi Yu nodded. "After I leave the Imperial City, she will attack you. If my guess is correct, she will surely lead me to believe that it was Chi Lie who kidnapped you."
Wei Qingyan gritted his teeth, "If that happens, you will definitely fight Chi Lie to the death. If I disappear, my father will also take action. In this way, a three-way war will occur, and she will reap the benefits.
Even if he knew that it was Chi Lie who kidnapped me, my father would not be without grudges towards you who lost me. In this way, the relationship between Da Wei and you, and even the relationship between Da Wei and Feng Zhao, will be broken.
If your identity as a concubine's son is exposed, your situation will be very difficult. What a vicious thought.
But if that's the case, how can she unify the world? Could it be that she has some power somewhere we don't know about?"
The power that can start an uprising and unify the world must not be a small-scale operation, it must have an army.
In this continent, the big countries that can be called by name are Dawei, Fengzhao, Chilie, Beiling and Wudan.
Wudan was defeated by her and became a vassal state of Wei. Beiling was severely damaged by Shi Yu and ceded the city to surrender to Wei.
Although most of Fengzhao's military power is in Lin Wanzhi's hands, Lin Lanting also has a lot of it. Seeing that she looks like she can abandon Fengzhao at any time, it is obvious that her secret power is not in Fengzhao.
Chilie was the country she originally intended to deal with with the plague, and should not be included in her plan.
Excluding these two big countries, the most likely ones are Dawei and Beiling.
Beiling was used by Su Fu in the past, so he should be very cautious now. Therefore, Wei Qingyan is more inclined to believe that Lin Wanzhi's secret power is hidden in the Wei Dynasty.
After all, the Great Wei was founded by Shi Dehou, and Lin Wanzhi has cooperated with Shi Dehou for many years, so she knows the Great Wei relatively better.
In addition, in his previous life, Shi Dehou took over Shi Yu's body, returned to Fengzhao, killed Zhian, and seized Lin Wanzhi's power. It was impossible for Lin Wanzhi not to retaliate.
The best revenge would be to seize Shi Dehou's country.
The princes from various places were the ones who could easily gather troops.
Thinking of this, Wei Qingyan called out, "Abu."
After a while, Abu from next door appeared in front of the two of them. After Wei Qingyan told him his guess, he said to him, "Abu, you need to go back immediately."
After hearing this, Abu's brows became serious.
But he hesitated. "If Lin Wanzhi and Chi Lie cooperated for my sister, then even if Lin Wanzhi died, Chi Lie would not let my sister go."
Prince Chilie was an ambitious man. Since ancient times, how many kings did not hope for a long life?
Knowing his elder sister's abilities, it was hard for Prince Chilie not to be moved.
He remembered that before Lin Wanzhi died, she said that her sister would never rest in peace, which was probably referring to this incident.
"Besides, the traitor who previously notified the Queen to cancel the palace banquet has not been found yet. I am worried. We can send a message to Father immediately and let him make preparations, but I have to stay by my sister's side."
"I'm afraid it's too late to pass on the message. If Lin Wanzhi's plan is really as we suspected, she should have passed the order on before she died.
Once the Wei side receives the order, they will take action. The prince has been planning a rebellion for a long time. Abu, not only do you have to go back, I have to go back too. "
Lin Wanzhi's plan is by no means a small matter.
In addition to the countries she had just speculated, there were many scattered small countries on this continent.
If she unites the forces of small countries, the world will surely experience chaos.
"How can this be possible, sister? You are pregnant now and cannot travel long distances."
Abu objected and pulled Shi Yu to persuade Wei Qingyan together.
"No, your sister should go back."
Contrary to his usual behavior, Shi Yu actually agreed to let Wei Qingyan travel far away during her pregnancy.
Abu was anxious, "Brother-in-law, do you know what you are talking about?"
Shi Yu signaled him not to be impatient, "Abu, at your current speed, how long will it take you to return to Wei?"
Abu didn't know what he was going to do, but seeing his serious expression, he replied truthfully, "The fastest round trip would take two days."
