Chapter 972: The Emperor's Thoughts

all these years following by Mo Yunjing's side, have you forgotten who you are”"Your Highness speaks too highly of me. An old man like myself would never forget who he is. However, Your Highness want...Mo Yunjing's brows furrowed as well, he stared at the Minister of War, "What has happened in Youlan City again"

The Minister of War quickly relayed the recent news from Youlan City.

The people of Chi had originally burned the cotton and grain of the citizens of Youlan City. Now, they are even more brazen, poisoning the wells that the city's inhabitants use for drinking water.

The problem is that the officials in Youlan City haven't caught the culprit yet, so almost every other day, more citizens are poisoned.

Because of this, the people of Youlan City are now in a state of panic. Wealthier families are now trying to flee Youlan City.

Things over there have completely fallen into chaos now.

If things continue this way, I fear that without the Red Nation's army even approaching, all the people in Youlan City will flee.

After hearing the whole story, Yunliu's expression turned very sour. He glanced at his own prince, seeing that he had no intention of speaking up. Yunliu then addressed the Minister of War and said:

"Is this the fault of the incompetent officials in Youlan City Right now, the Red Nation has no desire to go to war. What do you mean by asking our prince to lead troops"

In Yunliu's view, since there were Red Country spies stirring up trouble in Youlan City, they should just find and expose those spies. Why did the Minister of War ask their prince to go on an expedition right away

Besides, as Minister of War, shouldn't he know what war means

His eagerness for their prince to send troops to the Red Kingdom made the Cloud Six see the Minister of War as clearly malicious.

The Minister of War also knew what Yunliu and the others were thinking, but he was helpless.

Messages from Youlan City indicate that there are many people from the Chi Kingdom mixed in. Even if we could catch them, it would be impossible to catch them all.

Moreover, the people of Youlan City are now restless. Without General Beijang, the War God, to quell their fears, they would be unable to find peace.

They will be restless for a day, and not only will Youlan City be in chaos, but also Qingyu City, adjacent to Youlan City.

After the Minister of War had spoken his mind, Yun Liu disagreed with what he had said.

And Mo Yunjing remained silent throughout the entire journey, leaving everyone to wonder what he was thinking.

Naturally, Yunliu and the others were unwilling to let their prince leave Beijing at this time.

Knowing that the princess was pregnant, and with so many people eyeing their Beijiang王府 covetously outside...

There were also people like the Bai Guang Gong, and especially after Ming Deng's words spread through the martial world, many martial artists became restless. They all wanted to capture the princess.

So at such times, their prince is naturally unable to leave the capital.

And they can't guarantee that there isn't a conspiracy behind this. What if the whole thing is just a smokescreen, designed to get their prince out of the capital

If their prince really left the capital, wouldn't he have fallen into a trap

Besides, even if a fight were to break out, the Heavenly Domination Nation had no one else besides their prince.

Where are those generals' men

Where did all those generals who were supposed to be guarding Youlan City go Why are they running away so fast when things actually matter

The Minister of War had finished speaking for a long time, and yet he hadn't waited for Mo Yunjing's response. He couldn't help feeling anxious at this moment. He looked at Mo Yunjing nervously and couldn't help asking again:

"My lord, only you can save the people of Youlan City now. I beg you, please save Youlan City from this disaster."

Mo Yunjing finally reacted. He raised his indifferent eyes and looked at the Minister of War who was still kneeling on the ground, "The General Zhenxi guarding Yulan City is back in the capital"

" "

The Minister of War was taken aback, clearly not expecting Mo Yunjing to suddenly ask about this. He instinctively shook his head, "No...no."

Mo Yunjing let out a cold snort, "Since General Zhenxi hasn't returned to the capital, with him and his army stationed in Youlan City, what are you afraid of"

The Minister of War shook his head. "Your Highness, you must know who General Zhenxi is Can Youlan City possibly be defended by him He simply doesn't have the capability."

"Then you think I have the ability You're unaware that I currently don't have any usable army at my disposal"

"!"

The Minister of War did not expect the Northern Frontier King to say such things. He was stunned for a long time and didn't know how to respond.

Mo Yunjing curled his lips into a sneer, looking at him, "Go back and tell your father that he doesn't need to probe like this. He knows how the Northern Frontier army is doing."

The Minister of War perhaps truly didn't expect that the King of Beijng Frontier would actually be able to guess the truth behind this. He moved his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for half a day.

After all, what King Beijiang said was the truth. He came to see King Beijiang today on the emperor's orders, but everything he just said was true.

The Emperor wanted to test whether the King of Beijiang could still control his army, and he truly wanted the King of Beijiang to send troops to Chiguo.

The people of Chi are truly too arrogant. If we don't send troops, they will only become more audacious and their actions will become increasingly insidious.

Now that he was completely exposed by Mo Yunjing, he naturally had no face to stay any longer.

After admitting his mistake to Mo Yunjing, the Minister of War could only leave the Prince's Mansion with his head bowed in shame.

After the man left, Yunliu let out a cold snort and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor is trying to warn you. He wants you to reclaim the military power of the northern border army"

Yun Si shook her head. "Your Majesty wouldn't dare let the Prince return to Beijiang."

The Emperor is certainly afraid of them, the princes, teaming up with the Crown Prince and counterattacking to reclaim the capital. That's why he wants the princes to handle the matter in the Red Country, but he doesn't want to give them the troops stationed at Youlan City.

After all, for the emperor, hundreds of thousands of troops in Beijang had already become rebels. If he handed over the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Youlan City to the King of Beijang, what if the King of Beijang and the prince were truly on the same page What if they launched an uprising from both places at the same time How could the emperor possibly hold onto his throne then

Therefore, the emperor wanted both for the princes to settle the Red Country and for them to find their own ways to raise troops.

In the emperor's view, the best outcome would be for them to dispatch the Northern Frontier army under the command of their princes.

It's a pity that the emperor's idea is so naive.

Mo Yunjing's face was expressionless. He stared at the ground, tapping the desk with his hand rhythmically.

After a moment of silence, he spoke in a low voice, “Send the Fourteenth to Youlan City.”

Yunque and Yunliu exchanged glances, it seemed their prince was preparing to secretly interfere in the affairs of Youlan City.

But those people from the Chi Kingdom are indeed rampant. It's good to let Fourteen go and weed them out, otherwise, only the local people will suffer the consequences.

Yun Si arched his hands and said, "Yes, I will go tell Fourteenth now."

After Yunsi left, Yunliu also bowed and said, "Your Highness, I have found most of the medical books from the rivers and lakes. Should these books be moved into Jingtang Garden now"

"No, just send one book to Jingtang Garden every other day from now on."

If all those medical books were brought in, his wife would definitely be even less willing to rest.

Yunliu nodded slightly, "Yes, I know what to do next."

"Mo Yunjing suddenly looked up at Yunliu, "Have there been any news from the prince yet"

When it came to mentioning the prince Mo Jiumu, who resided far in Beijang, Yunliu's expression instantly turned serious.t through a person, and the Emperor intensely disliked Mo Yunjing for giving him that look.However, thinking that he really needed to use Mo Yunjing right now, he had to swallow his anger.He was now l...
