Wynand answered in a low voice, "Yes, I am waiting for the king's orders."

Dong Fang Qian was silent for a moment, then said, "Bring him in."

"Yes." When he came back, there was another person by his side, it was Dongfang Ze. The latter was rubbing his red wrist as he walked, and when he saw Dongfang Ru, he immediately said, "Royal brother, who is that person, he actually thinks Chendi is an assassin, that's simply unreasonable!"

"You still have the nerve to say that a dignified prince is secretly hiding outside, what sort of behavior is that?" Dongfang deliberately ignored the first half of his sentence.

Dongfang Ze said embarrassedly, "Junior brother …" It's not intentional. "

Dong Fang Qian glared at him, "Enough, go to the main hall and help Seventh Bro entertain our guests."

"Yes." Seeing that Dong Fang Qian was not suspicious, Dongfang Ze secretly let out a sigh of relief. Just now, he and Nineteen had been eavesdropping on their conversation outside, but it was already too late for them to leave, so he had to take the initiative to walk out to lure that person away. But then again, he knew his martial arts were not weak, and in front of that person just now, he could not even take ten moves.

Seeing that Dongfang Ze hadn't left for a long time, Dong Fang furrowed his brows and asked, "What? Is there something else?"

Dongfang Ze hesitantly said, "Chendi, when you were outside earlier, you heard your Imperial Brother say that Yangguan Valley is about to fall. Is that true?"

"That's right, the Qi Empire's invasion and interception of this communication have delayed us for nearly a month before we found out that the Fallen Sun Valley had been surrounded. Right now, we are in grave danger."

Dongfang Ze's face was filled with urgency as he said, "Such a big matter, why didn't Imperial Brother tell Chendi and Seventh Brother?"

"Today is a day of great joy for Seventh Bro, I don't want to talk about such things and you don't have to tell Seventh Bro. I will find a way to resolve the Yangguan Valley's matter, it's just a Qi Kingdom, it can't create too much of a stir!"

"Qi State and Great Zhou Country's power are as different as night and day. After hiding in seclusion for so many years, they have surely made sufficient preparations and cannot be underestimated. As I see it, Second Brother, Seventh Brother and the others should be called over to discuss."

Dongfang Zexuan, who was already depressed due to his lack of interest, knitted his eyebrows tightly. He was about to speak when Dongfang Shan, who was wearing a dark red robe, appeared at the door. When he saw Li Hong, who was still kneeling on the ground, he said in surprise, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

"It's nothing. It's just a small matter. As for you, why did you, the groom, leave all the guests behind and come here? Hurry back, Zhen will be back soon."

Dongfang Ze pretended to be impulsive as he shouted, "The Yang Pass Valley can be broken through by the Qi army at any time! How is this a small matter!"

"What?" Dongfang Qin was shocked. He had seen Dong Luoju's displeased expression before, and after saluting, he had called the Pingyang King and the others over to the side chamber to discuss the matter. He had expected something like this to happen, but he had never expected it to happen.

Dongfang Zexuan glared unhappily at Dongfang Ze and immediately said, "Seventh Brother, today is the day of your wedding. I really don't want to talk about these things, but military affairs are urgent and cannot be delayed. I was here to discuss it with the Pingyang King and the others."

"Compared to the military situation that concerns the safety of the Great Zhou, younger brother's matter is nothing." As he spoke, he asked in doubt, "I just don't understand how the Yang Pass Valley could be surrounded so suddenly."

Dong Fang Qian laughed bitterly. "Not at all. It's just that we've all been caught in the Qi Kingdom's scheme."

After learning the whole story and the predicament that the Great Zhou was in last time, Dongfang Ze said in a low voice, "Please forgive me, brother. The method of the Pingyang King may be able to solve the problem of food, but it cannot solve the problem of the Great Zhou!"

His words made the face of the Pingyang King darken. He stared at him and said, "Does King Rui think that the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty cannot defeat the enemy?"

"Of course not, it's just that … Does Your Highness really think that the only one who will attack our Great Zhou this time is the Qi Kingdom? " Even though he was the son-in-law of the Pingyang Kingdom, he still kept his title, which was strange and polite to him.

The Pingyang King also realized this problem, but he couldn't do it in front of Dongfang Qian. He only said, "If King Rui has anything to say, just say it out loud."

"For many years, the Qi Empire and Dong Ling have coveted our vast territory, but they have never taken action. Even when Dong Ling fought against him five years ago, they still tried to test him a bit more, but now that the Qi Kingdom has suddenly caused such a commotion, it's like they are putting all of their country's power into this single gamble. Doesn't Your Majesty think it's strange?"

Dong Fang Qian remained silent as he tapped his right index finger against the wall. After a long time, he asked, "In your opinion, who do you think the Qi Kingdom will ally with?"

"The Yan Nation is weak and does not have the qualifications to ally with the Qi Nation. As for the West Chu and the East Ling … "It's all possible."

The veins on Dongfang Shaoyang's forehead bulged violently. It was only after a long while that he said coldly, "The moment we send troops to Yangguan Valley, the country that colluded with the Qi Kingdom will be invading us by raising troops. Aren't we just going to catch us off guard?"

"Your majesty is wise!"

Dong Fang clenched his teeth and said coldly: "Alright! This is great! "

Jiang Ming glanced at Dongfang Gu approvingly. "According to what King Rui said, we must make two preparations for this battle. Our Great Zhou Empire's army of eight hundred thousand soldiers, even if it's a war, it shouldn't be a problem. We just need time, what we lack the most right now is time."

Dong Fang Qian thought for a moment, and said seriously: "The most important thing to do is to stop the Qi Army, and not let them attack Jinling. Jiang Aiqing, we still have to follow our previous agreement, and deploy eighty thousand troops along with a hundred thousand soldiers from the elite battalion, under the command of the Pingyang King, to the Sun Valley Pass to fight against the Qi Army!"

Dongfang Ze anxiously asked, "Then what about Dongling or Xichu? Let them break the border?"

Dong Fang Qian's eyes were ice-cold as ice, "I will pass down the order to gather the soldiers and head to the east and west realms. I believe that they will be able to resist for a while, and at this time, it will be enough for us to gather our troops and organize our armies!"

Everyone was silent. It seemed like this was the only way. Just as they agreed to this plan, Dongfang Gu suddenly kneeled down, "Your Majesty, your servant requests for your brother to lead your troops to the south and take Sun Pass Valley back!" Even though Yangguan Gu had not been lost when the call for help was sent out, it would still be disastrous after so many days had passed.

After the initial surprise, Dongfang Chonglou rejected his request, "No way, you've just gotten married, how can you lead the troops to war? The Pingyang King has been through hundreds of battles, how can you not be worried?"

"Of course not, but …" Without waiting for Dongfang Wenshui to finish, Dongfang Chonglou interrupted, "Well, it's settled then. Seventh Brother will be staying at home to take care of the wangfei and the wangfei." After saying that, he patted Dongfang Yi's shoulder and said in a low voice, "The Qi Kingdom has sent troops to attack us. This battle will definitely be dangerous. I don't want anything to happen to you." After a pause, he said, "I have something to do, so I will be going back to the palace first. The Prince of Pingyang and Jiang Qing will be coming with me." With that, he walked out. Wynne dragged his voice and shouted, "Your Majesty, take off!"
