Feng Gouqing, after abandoning, walk alone in the world

Chapter 458

Ji Xun was busy until midnight before returning to the bedroom, the solemn look on his face made Su Mianyue feel distressed.

She hurriedly got up and twisted the hot handkerchief to wipe Ji Xun's face, and brought hot porridge to warm Ji Xun's stomach, her daughter-in-law-like behavior didn't match her strong outfit at all, but Su Mianyue acted very naturally.

Since being with Ji Xun, Su Mianyue has learned to be a good wife without a teacher, but she doesn't know it at all.

No matter how strong a woman is, she will also have a side of a little woman when facing the man she loves, and a woman man can also turn into a pool of spring water.

"Where did the war happen?" Su Mianyue asked after Ji Xun finished eating.

Holding Su Mianyue's hand to let her sit beside her, Ji Xun buried his head in Su Mianyue's neck, and after a moment of silence, he said: "The Beichen Kingdom is ready to move at the border, and it has already started to fight against the Tianlan Kingdom. But there are also hundreds of thousands of troops stationed on the border of Yan State."

"Beichen Kingdom?" Su Mianyue was taken aback. Beichen Kingdom has been very quiet these years, so quiet that Su Mianyue forgot the existence of this powerful country. "Beichen Kingdom has always been short of food and grass. What do they use to fight?"

Among the four great powers, Tianlan Nation is in the middle. It has a large land and rich resources, but its soldiers and horses are not strong enough, but it has enough food and grass to support it. Even if it is a wheel war, it can defend against foreign enemies, unless the other three countries join forces to attack Tianlan Nation Otherwise, it would be rare to launch a war with Tianlan Nation. However, the former Beichen Kingdom often harassed the border of Tianlan Kingdom because of food matters, but they also robbed the food and left. Since the founding of the country, there has never been a large-scale invasion.

Beichen Kingdom is located in the northwestern part of Tianlan Kingdom. It is said to be a country, but in fact the Beichen Imperial Court is in charge of various nomadic peoples. There is only a small amount of land to grow crops, but Beichen Kingdom is good at riding and shooting. It has always been Tianlan Nation's confidant's trouble that anyone can join the army, but because of its nomadic nature, it cannot be attacked, otherwise it will have to be taken to the prairie by the soldiers of Beichen Nation.

Hengyuan Nation is in the southwest of Tianlan Nation. It is much richer than Beichen Nation, but the folk customs are more inclined to Tianlan Nation. It is only the constant infighting among the royal family in the past few years that has weakened the national power.

As for the country of Yan, it is in the east of Tianlan country, and its territory is almost the same as that of Hengyuan country. Originally, half of the people were heroes on horseback, but the second emperor of Yan country strongly supported the technique of farming and mulberry in order to strengthen the country and enrich the people. It is a rich country, but the people are no longer able to carry guns and mount horses to fight. Especially during the years when Yun Wansheng was in power, in order to prevent the people from raising their voices against his governance, many young and middle-aged people were killed openly and secretly. .

Yan Country, Hengyuan Country, Beichen Country, these countries have borders with each other, and Tianlan Country is separated by many small countries or tribes. This layout makes all countries want to destroy those weak groups To strengthen their own country, many small countries are willing to attach themselves to Tianlan Nation for asylum.

"Ah Yu, didn't the old emperor of Beichen Kingdom advocate peace? How could he suddenly have the heart to invade other countries? With the strength of Beichen Kingdom, it is impossible to conquer Tianlan Kingdom in one fell swoop. Whether it is military, financial or material resources, it cannot be supplied, right?" Su Mianyue raised her eyebrows and asked.

"The old emperor of Beichen Kingdom is old, and his power has long been taken away by his sons and brothers. The sending of troops this time must not be the old emperor's intention." Ji Xun replied, "You let Zhuifeng lead people Go to Beichen Kingdom to investigate, we must understand the situation of Beichen Kingdom before we can deploy."

Su Mianyue asked suspiciously: "You can make the order yourself, why should I arrange it?"

"The dark guards have been handed over to you, and you are their only master. Unless you send someone to protect me, others can only obey you alone. This is the rule of the dark guards. Even if you and I are one Follow this rule, otherwise how can the hidden guards serve you wholeheartedly in the future?" Ji Xun smiled helplessly, he should have told Su Mianyue these words earlier.

"Oh." Su Mianyue nodded her head and stopped worrying about it. Some things need to be changed to be more efficient, but this is not the first thing, "Ah Yu, should you give Mu Ting a visit?" Seal the letter of state?"

"You want me to help him?" Ji Xun's tone was a little sour.

Su Mianyue heard it, but she still said: "Now is not the time when the kingdoms are in chaos. Yan Kingdom and Hengyuan Kingdom are bound to be enemies. Now Beichen Kingdom may also become an enemy country. If we can make friends with Tianlan Kingdom, we can also deter the other two countries. China, at least it can give us some buffer time, otherwise even if we can win, it will be a miserable victory, and the country will not be a country."

"I understand." Ji Xun sighed, took Su Mianyue into his arms and said, "I have already written the letter of credence and secret letter to Mu Ting, if we really want to go to war, we can't be afraid, and we can't let the enemy lose if we both lose Success. As for whether Mu Ting is willing to join forces with me, it depends on whether he can put the country first in his mind."

"He will." Su Mianyue said firmly, arousing Ji Xun's displeasure, bit Su Mianyue's neck, and she hissed in pain, "Are you a dog?"

"It's a dog that only eats your bone, wash it up and wait for me to wipe it off!" Ji Xun didn't mind being scolded as a dog at all.

Su Mianyue gave Ji Xun a white look, got up from his arms and sat on the other side of the soft couch, and then said: "There is one thing I forgot to tell you, the maid who served Hong Yanran committed suicide before she died Holding half of the blood book in my hand, the other half is in someone's hands. My intuition tells me that someone wants to take the opportunity to provoke trouble. The Hong family's disciples are all over the world. Even if they don't hold important positions, it would be terrifying if they join forces Yes, the literati in the world may wipe out a country with just one mouth."

"Leave this matter to the secret guard to investigate thoroughly, and I will give Hong Lao Xiu a letter." Ji Xun raised his brows, obviously also smelling the smell of conspiracy.

After the two of them talked a few more words, Su Mianyue urged Ji Xun to rest earlier, no matter how much Ji Xun wanted to linger, he refused to nod, and finally threatened to let him sleep outside if he didn't calm down. Nod in agreement.

After sleeping for more than two hours, Ji Xun got up and prepared to go to the morning court, but Su Mianyue couldn't go back to sleep because of something on her mind, so she simply got up and had breakfast before leaving the palace.

But at this moment, Mu Ting, who was far away in the Tianlan Kingdom's palace, was full of anger.

The border wars continued, whether it was Beichen Kingdom's attack or the restlessness of the frontier fortress, the court was exhausted to deal with it. Without Shangguan Pei in the army, the outcome of nearly a hundred battles was almost equal, and the court wasted two-thirds The national treasury lost many soldiers again, but at this time Mu Chen escaped from the imperial capital with the empress dowager, and all the necessary manpower in Prince Rui's mansion was transferred out of the capital without knowing it.

Mu Ting only got the news after Mu Chen left for a few days, and it was the hidden guard who discovered the situation first, how could Mu Ting not get angry?
"Prince Rui's mansion is sealed, and all the people in the mansion are in custody. Let me thoroughly investigate Prince Rui's whereabouts. If you can't find it, I will come to see you!" Mu Ting angrily yelled at the Dali Temple official who was kneeling and complained, "This Let me remember the account of this time for you first, if Prince Rui does something unfavorable to the imperial court, you can wash your neck clean and have the whole family buried with you!"

"I'm guilty, I'm guilty!" Dali Temple Minister kowtowed, his forehead became red and swollen after a while, and thanked him incoherently: "I must strictly examine, I thank the emperor for not killing me!"
