Xiao Yuan summoned Xiao Yang to discuss the matter of Beiyang Kingdom sending troops to Xishu Kingdom! Because Bai Jingshan failed to reach an agreement last time and went back to ask the Emperor for instructions, he did not expect Beiyang Kingdom to break its promise and directly attack. The Emperor sent an urgent message, ordering the Fourth Prince to negotiate first, and if the negotiation failed, to directly lead troops to fight!
Xiao Yang: "What exactly are we talking about? They've already come to our door, and we still want to talk!"
Xiao Yuan: "It's salt. Actually, refined salt has always been sold from Beiyang Kingdom. Although Xishu Kingdom has many salt mines, they are all coarse salt. Although refined salt is more expensive, it is indeed much better than coarse salt!"
"This time, the Beiyang State wanted to raise prices, and by a full five percent. So my uncle came here to negotiate with the Beiyang State salt merchants. But I guess the royal family gave the order, and we just couldn't reach an agreement. So he had to go back and discuss countermeasures with everyone. But no sooner had my uncle left than the Beiyang State army dispatched troops. This is clearly a long-planned scheme!"
"Then, cousin, there's no need for us to negotiate anymore, since the outcome is already decided!"
"No, we still have to talk, otherwise we won't be able to explain to the Emperor. But we can just send anyone, we don't need to worry about the outcome. It's just that the common people will suffer, they'll have to wait until we can find salt merchants from other countries to eat fine salt!"
"Yes, these are the ones who suffer the most!" They are also the most innocent victims!
Xiao Yuan suddenly looked at Xiao Yang: "I'd like you to come with me this time, okay?"
Xiao Yang considered it for a moment, but ultimately did not give an answer, only saying that he needed to think about it.
"Think it over carefully, and you can also discuss it with your younger brother and sister-in-law. But I still hope you can take up martial arts; this is a good opportunity!"
Where there is war, there will be meritorious service. With Xiao Yang's abilities, he can definitely shine in this war!
Xiao Yang understood Xiao Yuan's meaning. If they weren't married, he would have followed the Fourth Prince without hesitation. However, he had only been married for a month, and on the battlefield, swords and spears were indiscriminate. Xiao Yang couldn't guarantee that he would return unscathed!
What would happen to Song Yan'er if something were to happen to me? I couldn't bear to see her remain a widow, but if I made her remarry, I'd probably be turning in my grave!
Why.
