"This is also what Yue and I are puzzled about." A steady voice came from outside the door. The next moment, Ji Xun pushed the door and entered.
Wu Yuqing and the others hurriedly got up to salute when they saw the situation, but now they could not greet the officials in the same way as before.
"Don't be too polite in private." Ji Xun raised his hand to stop Su Mianyue and sat down beside him, "They are all our own people. There is no need to waste time on etiquette. The situation is not good for the Yan Country now. We may as well speak our own views freely. Whether it is the Beichen or the comrade-in-arms, we must be careful in the selection of generals to lead the troops."
"Should we call you brother-in-law or senior brother?" Wu suddenly asked like a curious baby, which stunned Ji Xun. The others gouged out Wu with their eye knives, but little five did not realize that before Ji Xun replied, he patted his head and said, "Look at my memory. You haven't married our eldest sister yet. It's better to call her senior brother when there's no need to be courteous."
Ji Xun smiled and explained, "I will give Yue a grand and solemn wedding. She is the only woman in my life. Yue is my only wife and only queen in my heart."
Ji Xun's words satisfied everyone.
In fact, they all knew that if Ji Xun didn't mean it, Su Mianyue wouldn't have lived in the palace, and they wouldn't have worked so hard for Ji Xun.
Not wanting to embarrass the situation, Su Mianyue held Ji Xun's hand under the table and continued the conversation, "Yu and I guessed that the emperor of the Hengyuan was either crazy or someone was behind him to do this, and this person's purpose was to cause chaos."
Eighth asked confusedly, "What's the benefit of chaos?"
"Only in a troubled world can a leader emerge. Once all the countries are in the midst of war, the people will be in dire straits. If a'savior' appears at this time, the people of all the countries will surely be able to support him. It is not impossible for him to become the ruler of the world at that time." Su Mianyue understated the confusion.
"Ambition again," said xiao ba hatefully.
Su Mianyue smiled. She had always known that power corrupts people. If she were that person, she might have done the same thing when she was capable.
Ji Xun said in a deep voice: "The Hengyuan will not only attack the Yan Country, but also send troops to it. For example, the situation in the lan country today is not much better than that in the ao nation. What Yue and I are worried about is that once we start a war with the ao nation, the ao nation will take advantage of the chaos to attack. Even if we join forces with the ao nation, there will be a tough battle to fight."
"The Beichen may not take action against the Yan Country when the situation is not clear. As long as we store enough troops and rations at the border, it will serve as a deterrent." Wu Yuqing pondered for a while and said, "The war with the Hengyuan should be resolved quickly, otherwise the eager vassal kings from all over the world will not miss this opportunity to call themselves emperor."
Xiao wuyi slapped the table, "Didn't the Hengyuan also have internal strife? If the dog emperor has the courage to fight the two great powers at the same time, then we will make their civil strife even worse. We will see how capable Wanyan Lin is of fighting in and out of the country. He has just been redeemed for a few years, but his scars have been healed and he forgot to hurt. That stupid emperor Mu Tinng should not have let him go for that little fortune. It would be easier to wipe his neck directly."
"Still drunk?" Sann glanced at little five and asked faintly, "Do you want to take an ice bath?"
Wu was so excited that he quickly made a gesture that he learned from Su Mianyue and zipped up his mouth to avoid being thrown into the ice cellar.
Without Wu, who was always full of blood, they were finally able to talk quietly about the battle that had not happened until nightfall, but this was just a preliminary plan. How to deploy the war still needed further consideration.
As for Su Mianyue, who had repeatedly expressed his desire to join the army, everyone had tacitly chosen to ignore her. So many of them were there to protect her, so why would they need Su Mianyue to put on his armor?
"It's getting late. Everyone should rest early. If you need anything, you can enter the palace with a token." Ji Xun got up and naturally took Su Mianyue's hand and walked out.
Su Mianyue warned as he went out, "I almost forgot that there is a dangerous weirdo living in the restaurant. Ask Zi Shi and the others. Don't provoke this person. You should be careful when you talk."
Wu Yuqing and the others nodded to indicate that they had noted it down, but everyone was more interested in Su Mianyue, who was a married man. Little wugeng asked with a gossipy face, "Do you think senior brother came here just to bring senior sister back to the palace? I heard from my brothers in the barracks that this man who just started eating meat couldn't bear to be lonely and couldn't leave his daughter-in-law... Ah! Third Brother, why did you hit me?"
Calmly retracting his fist, Sann did not look at Wu, who was covering his chest with pain. The strength of his hand was still very clear. He did not cause any internal injuries, but just suffered a few days of physical pain.
"You haven't woken up yet. I'll sober you up."
"Where am I drunk?" Wu wailed, but he was not as strong as Sann and did not dare to fight back.
"You guys talk first. I'm a little tired and I'm going back to my room to rest." Little eight got up with a flushed face and walked out quickly.
Little five opened his mouth, then understood why he had been hit just now, and he really deserved it.
"Well, I think I really drank too much. Let's go first." Afraid of being beaten up again, Wu disappeared without a trace.
Wu Yuqing looked enviously at the way Sann and the others got along, "In fact, little five has a good personality. Such people are more emotional."
"I know." Sann nodded with a gentle look on his face and said, "Or I'll punch him so hard that he won't be able to get out of bed for half a month."
Shaking his head with a smile, Wu Yuqing and Sann had a good relationship, but after all, they were no better than the five little ones who had lived together and experienced the storm together, so it was not appropriate to say anything more.
Instead, he asked, "Your qualifications in the army are not enough to be the commander in chief, but your ability is competent. If you were to defend Beichen, would you have confidence?"
Sann looked up at Wu Yuqing and said faintly, "Do you think the Beichen will fight?"
"It's just a matter of time."
"Why didn't you say that just now?" The third asked again.
"With their intelligence, they would have thought of this. As ministers, we must abide by our own duties." Wu Yuqing smiled helplessly. Seeing Sann frown, she asked, "Why, do you think I shouldn't do this?"
"No." Sann shook his head, "Identity is really a wonderful thing, and some things will change with it. No wonder so many people fought for their heads and blood for that cold chair and even died."
"Some things don't have to be your own. Some things just have to stay where you are. No matter how your status changes, some relationships don't change. They just change the way you get along." Wu Yuqing then stood up and said, "You are a smart person who can understand this. It is late and you should rest early. Tomorrow you have to go to the palace to see the holy man."
"Actually, it's good that Wu and Liuu are like that."
Sann's words gave Wu Yuqing a pause. He understood the meaning of the small three words and patted Sann on the shoulder helplessly, "Everyone has different personalities and different natural circumstances. Everyone's existence is necessary for him. Otherwise, it will be your eldest sister who has a headache."
Sann looked up and said, "It's a blessing to have a brother like you."
Wu yuqing merely smiled and did not speak.
If he had not met Su Mianyue, he might have been at home with his parents plowing the fields, and the road to life would have been another scene.
