"H-How could this happen?"

After reading the contents of the urgent report, an official from the Censorate couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Logically speaking, Jun Lintian was living well in Xuanwu City, and the Xuanwu Empire had no intention of going to war.

Why has Jun Haotian occupied another city now?
Could it be that he really wanted to start a war?
Emperor Wu was also very confused at this time. Ever since Jun Lintian came to Xuanwu City, he had always planned to adopt a policy of non-resistance.

And I really want to make a big thing small and a small thing nothing.

In short, he didn't want to go to war with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In addition, Emperor Wu felt that he and Jun Lintian had actually said almost everything.

The general meaning is to wait until Jun Haotian withdraws his troops, and then the two sides can live in peace.

But why has the situation suddenly changed now?

Could it be because of the incident that the eldest prince caused before?

Although Emperor Wu has also sent people to stop the secretly assembled troops, the movements of the troops over there are likely still under Jun Haotian's control.

If Jun Haotian mistakenly thinks that they are secretly mobilizing troops, be prepared to fight back.

So it didn't seem unreasonable for him to take the initiative to fight and capture another city...

"What do you think of this, my dear ministers?"

Emperor Wu swept his eyes over all the civil officials and military generals present, wanting to ask them what they thought.

In fact, Emperor Wu really couldn't stand it anymore.

He really couldn't stand it. Jun Haotian's army was approaching and not only occupied Xuanyang City, but now also Wuyang City.

It was as if there was a sharp knife hanging on his neck, which could chop off his head at any time.

At this time, all the generals looked angry.

Someone immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I want to fight."

"Jun Haotian is too arrogant. We have allowed his son to do whatever he wants in Xuanwu City. Even the Marquis and the Prince died at Jun Lintian's hands, but we still haven't held Jun Lintian accountable."

"That's right! How dare Jun Kaotian continue to threaten us?"

"Although I am old, I hope to be able to serve the Xuanwu Empire with my last bit of loyalty. I am willing to fight!"

A military commander with a gray beard and a slightly hunched body also bowed, with a look of awe and dignity on his face.

They have had enough now. Jun Lintian is so bold and arrogant in Xuanwu City and does not take their Xuanwu Empire seriously at all. This is intolerable.

Even if they really have to fight to the death with the Great Zhou Dynasty, they are willing to accept it.

But the civil servants disagreed at all.

"Your Majesty! We can't fight. The young master of the Jun family has already made it very clear before. The reason why the Jun family sent troops to fight is nothing more than receiving an order from the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Perhaps this time, Emperor Zhou is also deliberately trying to sow discord between the people on our border?"

After Li Yongning pondered for a while, he also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the current situation on the border is still unclear. Why not invite the young master of the Jun family to the Council Hall to ask for clarification?"

Although he didn't know Jun Lintian very well, based on the current situation, there was no need for Jun Lintian to actually go to war with the Jun family and the Xuanwu Empire.

In fact, in the past two days, he had already investigated the situation inside the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Li Yongning knew that the Jun family and the Great Zhou Dynasty were indeed incompatible at present.

If this war really breaks out and the Jun family suffers heavy losses, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely take advantage.

As for the incident that the eldest prince caused before, it was most likely the fuse that caused Jun Haotian to lose his temper.

That's why he suggested to Emperor Wu that he call Jun Lintian to the council hall to ask him about it.

When Emperor Wu heard this, he finally nodded. It was necessary for these civil officials to calm down a little. The military officials were like gunpowder barrels, ready to explode at any time.

It is only a fool who would risk his life at every turn.

"Okay, Eunuch Liu, go and invite the young master of the Jun family here quickly."

Eunuch Liu on the side immediately accepted the order and then left the Council Hall to look for Jun Lintian.

However, the atmosphere in the council hall was still solemn at this moment.

Li Yongning didn't have any psychological burden. Although he was willing to consider the Xuanwu Empire, at such a critical juncture, he would naturally try his best to protect the Li family.

As long as Li Yongning can marry Jun Lintian, he will definitely make a profit no matter which side wins the war.

Emperor Wu was also in deep thought at this moment, as things had already progressed to this point.

He could still roughly guess some of the reasons, which were probably related to the eldest prince.

It must be because he only locked the eldest prince up in the Sky Prison but did not punish him, that he aroused the dissatisfaction of Jun Lintian or Jun Haotian.

If this is true, then perhaps he will have to give up his own son.

In short, at this moment in the council hall, civil and military officials gathered in twos and threes to discuss the current situation, and Emperor Wu had no intention of paying attention to other things.

While everyone's attention was not on him, Marquis An Yuan found an opportunity and sneaked out.

A moment later, he came to the eldest prince's palace again.

The eldest prince had obviously just heard some news and looked visibly nervous at the moment.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

As soon as he saw An Yuanhou coming in, he immediately stopped him and asked.

Marquis Anyuan said solemnly, "Your Highness, urgent news just came from the border that Jun Haotian led a large army and captured Wuyang City in just a few hours!"

"what?!"

After hearing this, the eldest prince was stunned.

Wuyang City is a city with extremely strong defense on the border of their Xuanwu Empire.

Xuanyang City has at most a slightly larger population, but Wuyang City is basically full of garrisons.

No matter how powerful Jun Haotian's 100,000-strong army was, it was impossible for them to capture Wuyang City in just a few hours!

But that's what happened.

The eldest prince couldn't help but swallow his saliva and became even more nervous.

"Is Jun Haotian going to do anything else?"

An Yuanhou shook his head and continued, "After occupying Wuyang City, Jun Haotian defended the two cities and had no plans to continue attacking."

"In my opinion, he is probably still trying to establish his authority! Or maybe he wants to threaten the Xuanwu Empire."

From the current perspective, Jun Haotian does not have the intention of starting a full-scale war. He merely occupied these two cities and did not kill the surrendered generals.

The purpose is to negotiate with the Xuanwu Empire.

But Your Majesty neither wants to fight back nor negotiate with Jun Lintian. What is Your Majesty going to do?
But the eldest prince frowned at this moment. He had a vague feeling that Jun Haotian might be coming for him this time!

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" asked Marquis Anyuan.

The eldest prince pondered for a long time, then slammed the table and said, "Isn't this a good opportunity?"

"This prince will take this opportunity to force my father to go to war!" (End of this chapter)
