Xi Cuo looked at her blankly for a moment. He had not expected her to say such a thing, and to think that it would be the same as his own judgement.

"You guessed right. I just came back from the City Lord's Mansion, and in the recent few months, there seems to be a trend of strengthening the army at the borders of the Great Phoenix City. I don't know if he wants to implicate the army at Fringe City before sending out the troops to battle West Cold, but in addition, the convoy that went to pay tribute to Phoenix Dynasty has returned this year, and also brought back news that the Phoenix Dynasty will send an envoy to visit us, so I think that in a few more days, their team will also arrive. "

"The king naturally felt danger because of this. If it was before, he definitely wouldn't have been afraid, but right now, West Cold has just stabilized, so he probably won't be able to withstand the waves." Zhuang Li said.

"If Big Brother is still in father, then you should be at ease. Not only did the stupid thing Old Third kill Big Brother, it also implicated several generals under Big Brother who can fight. Although our West Cold is not weak, we lack talent right now, and even if I have the eighteen great martial arts, I can't defend the entire defensive line of West Cold."

Seeing Zhuang Li's worried expression, he immediately comforted him and asked.

After all, the envoy of the Great Phoenix has not arrived, and I do not know what kind of plan he has. Let's start tomorrow, and try our best to reach the Fanbo City by the night of the day after tomorrow. I will immediately find the father to understand the situation, so you can rest easy.

When Ge Ya heard the servant's report, she insisted on dressing herself. She brought along the nanny in water and brought out the palace lamp. Seeing that, Zhuang Li finally felt a sense of warmth in her heart, so he pulled her back and sat beside the stove in her bedroom.

Ge Ya instructed the servant to prepare a pot of hot milk tea and brought it over to Zhuang Li to talk.

"The minister who brought back the tribute reported that Da Feng wanted to send an envoy over to the father. I am afraid, since Da Feng has not done this for many years, and previously, when envoys went over to the Da Feng Palace every year, they mostly brought back news regarding the insatiable people in the Phoenix Dynasty palace. It seems like there has been a change this time, they even said that they would send someone over, making the entire palace nervous.

She whispered into Zhuang Li's ear, "father has been stuck in grief ever since big brother passed away. He placed too much hope on big brother, before big brother passed away, he even had thoughts of letting big brother attack Da Feng. Maybe it's because of my excessive grief that I'm so nervous right now. "

The nanny brought in some milk tea and placed it in an iron pot, then filled a ceramic pot with charcoal and placed it on the ground. The milk tea continued to boil and bubble on top of the pot, and the entire room was filled with the fragrance of milk tea.

"Ge Ya, the worries of your father is not without reason, after all, after the death of Eldest Prince, a group of generals that could go to war have died, and although the defense line of the West Cold is now strong, it is not sufficient. Xi Cuo is currently in a difficult position, if the two nations fight now, his West Cold would be at a disadvantage."

"No wonder the father is worried. I'm still worried about his body."

After Zhuang Li finished changing, she suddenly couldn't fall asleep. The two in Ge Ya's room surrounded the candles and spoke each word, including all the interesting things they had seen along the way. Unknowingly, even the sky had turned bright, and the two of them slept soundly under their blankets, hoping for some good news from the palace after they woke up.

Even though the morning West Cold released the sun's air, it was still cold. However, everything could still sense that something was mixed and stirring in the air, causing the lakes that had experienced the freezing winter to start flowing. The willow trees in the King Xiao's Palace also began to germinate, as though it was already early spring in the blink of an eye.

The palace seemed to have regained its tranquility, but Xi Cuo had become even busier. After a month, not a single person could be seen, and the only thing Xi Cuo could hear from the guards was that he was in the barracks outside the city.

"I wonder what the Second Brother and the father are talking about." Ge Ya complained at the entrance of the pavilion. The water in the lake had already melted, and fish would swim up to feed after throwing a handful of flour and cooked corn flakes into the lake.

"Even the king wouldn't say?" Zhuang Li threw another handful of fish food into the lake.

"Without saying a word, his tone was terrifyingly tight. However, I heard from the palace maid who was on duty that night that the envoy that came back seemed to have said that the envoy of the Great Phoenix would come with many requests. "

"They want the city? Or an increase in tribute? "

"No one knows, but since Second Brother is back, father is relieved. Although Second Brother is so busy that you can't see anyone, I guess you must be busy discussing some countermeasures with him."

Because it was pregnant, Zhuang Li did not let it return to the horse farm. Instead, it stayed at the Princess Mansion, and when it was free, it and Ge Ya would take it out for a walk on the white dragon. Their days were quite comfortable, and when they sent a letter to Pear Blossom saying that they were staying at the beach of the Great Yue State, they would probably have to come back to find out.

"Have you found all those tricky places? "It's too godly!" Zhuang Li patted the head of the sculpture, she never thought that the beast would have such dignity, as though she thought that Zhuang Li had humiliated it, and flew away.

Although Zhuang Li and Ge Ya passed by his residence, they did not go in. In any case, they might not be able to see him after they went in, as he was already very busy.

Even though Xi Cuo had brought Zhuang Li back to the Fanbo City in a hurry, the envoy of the Great Phoenix had not arrived yet. It had already been more than two months and there was no obvious spring in the West Cold. After a few days of slightly warming up, the day had already turned into summer.

The long season of the warblers, everywhere also became colorful. The pedestrians on the street began to wear summer clothes of all colors.

Ge Ya and Zhuang Li had already started to make new veils and lighter clothes, fixing the colors and styles, and were waiting for the palace to complete them so they could send them over.

It was unknown if it was Heaven's will that wanted to help West Cold, but from the time the news had spread till now, half a year had already passed and the emissary of the Great Phoenix had yet to arrive. Instead, it had given West Cold a very good chance to catch his breath.

According to Ge Ya, Xi Cuo's new army had already reached the scale of a great army and also promoted many young generals. However, everyone still lacked tacit understanding and experience. had displayed the courage and talent that a king would only have when he was in command of a army. Now that he realized that Xi Cuo was completely capable of protecting his West Cold, he naturally relaxed.

She was still nimble as ever, but when she was pregnant, her temper didn't seem to be as docile as before. Occasionally, she would have a temper of a little girl, or if she was addicted to playing, she wouldn't listen to Zhuang Li's commands.

"Perhaps the emissary of the Great Phoenix will not come?" Ge Ya fantasized with a face full of hope.

Pear Blossom said that he had been on the road for a long time, but he did not take the direct road to West Cold. Instead, he took a long detour around the borders of the Great Phoenix Sect, went to the Inner Mongolia Country for another half a month, and then went to the Great Yue State for a few days of tea.

"This is too insulting!" We are all waiting for him. " Ge Ya huffed and puffed, but when she saw her, she quickly consoled her.

"Don't be angry, what should come will eventually come. This way, it will also give Xi Cuo more time to rebuild the defense of his West Cold."

"That's true. If the two countries were to truly engage in battle, West Cold would not be as simple as the defensive lines of an army." She finally flew up and continued to tell Zhuang Li while gasping for air.

"I heard my brother say before that the advantage of West Cold lies in the secret pathway. There are a few small paths that can quickly replenish the forces in front of the West Cold, and of course, the people of the Great Phoenix do not know."

Zhuang Li was shocked, and then she thought back to ten years ago, when she secretly checked on Wang Su. She still had some understanding of who Wang Su was, and there were rumors in the capital that he was a person who would meticulously make decisions, and once something was decided, he would not rest.

If he had safely returned to Da Feng many years ago, it would be impossible to keep the secret of the secret passage. Zhuang Li had inquired about the merchants and envoys of Da Feng before, but in the end, not a single person had heard of the handsome and handsome Prince Su of Da Feng. Even Zhuang Li had thought that if his luck was bad, he might not be able to return.

She had also thought about whether she should inform Xi Cuo or Ge Ya of this news, and let them be prepared. Perhaps, the secret passage had already been discovered by the people of the Great Phoenix.

Even though he still could not be sure whether Da Feng knew about it or not, he could still send people to investigate if there was any news about Prince Su. He also had a plan to avoid if Da Feng knew about the secret passage or things would get out of hand.

After thinking for a long time, Zhuang Li did not say anything. Was it because Zhao Ci was from Great Phoenix? Zhuang Li just wanted to stay in the body of the owner's hometown?

A few kites flew up into the sky one after another. Ge Ya couldn't care less and got two strings each from Qing You and Zhuang Li.

That kite was made by Zhuang Li and Ge Ya, and on it was a picture of a goldfish swimming freely in the sky.

From afar, they could see a small black dot moving towards them. It was only when Zhuang Li walked in that they could see that it was a guard riding a horse, and at first they thought it was a soldier during training. After all, this place was very close to Xi Cuo's camp, and it was only until the guard got closer and closer that Zhuang Li could see clearly that it was a person from the palace.

"Your Highness, the guards of the Great Phoenix have already passed the borders of the West Cold. I think that they will reach the Fanbo City in a few days.
