Chapter 361: Chapter 361 - 361 Deploying the Troops

361 Deploying the Troops

King Chu’s eyes lit up. This answer was completely beyond his expectations!

“What if he can’t defeat these two brothers?” King Chu asked again.

“Find a few like-minded allies,” Ning Yue said as she observed King Chu’s expression.

“Alright, alright, alright!” King Chu said happily.

Ning Yue did not reply and sat quietly at the side. She was already 70 to 80% certain that King Chu wanted to rebel. She could not be bothered to probe further.

Hearing King Chu’s long speech, Ning Yue was about to fall asleep. In the end, King Chu smiled and said to Ning Yue, “We chatted very well today. I hope you can talk to Jiang Ying when you get back.”

“Okay,” Ning Yue replied perfunctorily. In the end, King Chu left happily.

Ning Yue told Jiang Ying everything she had talked to King Chu about today.

Jiang Ying frowned deeply. He was even more certain that the nightmare was real. However, he didn’t know where the abnormality was, so reality developed differently from the nightmare.

After Ning Yue spoke to Jiang Ying for a while, she returned home.

She had just tidied up and was about to sleep when the Empress Dowager arrived.

“Imperial Grandmother, why are you here?” Ning Yue asked the Empress Dowager in confusion.

“Something happened at the border. I have something to tell you,” the Empress Dowager said.

“You can get someone to send a message,” Ning Yue replied.

After all, it was already very late. It was not safe for the Empress Dowager to leave the palace like this.

“No one else must hear these words,” the empress dowager said. She approached Ning Yue and whispered in her ear, “Your father was attacked and his life is in danger.”

Ning Yue frowned deeply. This was the third time she had heard this news today. She had no thoughts at all.

“Imperial Grandmother, why are you telling me this?” Ning Yue couldn’t help but ask.

“I wonder if your uncle has told you that the Black City Kingdom has recently prepared to send 300,000 troops to the border and is preparing to fight us,” the Empress Dowager said.

The Black City Kingdom sent 300,000 troops to the border? Ning Yue’s eyes widened.

“Who does the Great Yun Nation plan to send out to fight?” Ning Yue asked again.

According to the emperor’s plan, he and Prince Jin would turn against each other. In this situation, he shouldn’t continue to put on an act, right?

Without Ning Feng, there did not seem to be many generals left in the entire Great Yun Nation.

“Good question. That’s the problem too. The emperor is wondering if he should let Prince Jin fight,” the empress dowager said.

Ning Yue did not understand what the emperor’s question meant.

The army of the Black City Kingdom was already putting pressure on the border. Why was he still considering whether to let Prince Jin go to war?

“You know that this matter involves the Wargod of the Black City Kingdom. He’s still in your Uncle Jiang Huan’s fief. The Black City Kingdom still dares to send troops to war. He thinks that things might not be that simple,” the Empress Dowager said.

“What’s the reason for the Black City Kingdom to send troops?” Ning Yue asked.

It was very normal for the country to increase its troops at the border. The Great Yun Nation and Russia had already joined forces. It made sense for the Black City Nation to do this.

“The Black City Kingdom hasn’t sent troops yet. This is the information from the emperor’s informant. They would deploy troops on the 15th of next month. However, that informant said that the Wargod wants to marry Princess Mingyue of the Great Yun Nation,” the Empress Dowager said.

“What?” Ning Yue’s eyes widened.

Was Lian Xin’s brain damaged? Did he have nothing better to do than marry her?

Suddenly, Ning Yue recalled what Yuan Hui had told her about the fairy girl in his dream.

Could it be that Lian Xin planned to marry her because of this? Wasn’t this too rash?

“It seems that you already know about the fairy girl. The emperor and I both guessed that you were the fairy girl from his dream. Now, he said that if we didn’t agree, he would send troops to fight us. I believe that was just an excuse,” the empress dowager said.

Lian Xin was a courageous and strategic man. He was good at fighting wars. He was extremely smart. How could he fight another country over a dream?

This was not a fight between two people. Two countries were at war!

“But isn’t Lian Xin still in Laifu Village? Was it his idea to deploy the army to the border?” Ning Yue asked.
