Chapter 970 Jiayao's Secret

"Prince Luntai has already established a firm foothold in southern Zhenhe with the supplies we secretly provided him..."

Bu Du told Jia Yao in detail about the situation at Luntai.

With the help of their secret support of materials, Luntai was able to gather a group of people in Zhenhe.

However, the shipbuilding skills of the people of Zhenhe were very limited. They could build fishing boats, but building a large ship that could carry a large number of people to go to sea was definitely not something that could be done overnight.

Moreover, Luntai did not dare to make any big moves. Now he could only teach people the skills of shipbuilding!

Listening to Budu's words, Jiayao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a moment, Jia Yao frowned and asked, "Master, do you think there are spies planted by Yun Zheng in my brother's place?"

"spy?"

Budu's face changed, "Could it be that Yun Zheng already knows about Prince Luntai's situation?"

"I am also not certain."

Jia Yao shook her head gently, "However, I suspect Yun Zheng may have heard the news, or guessed my true intention of exiling Luntai..."

As she spoke, Jia Yao told Budu about what she had talked about with Yun Zheng on the eve of her leaving the military academy.

Jiayao spoke very carefully and Budu listened very attentively.

When Jiayao finished speaking, Budu's brows furrowed even more tightly, "Princess, do you suspect that Yun Zheng's words about us going overseas to occupy territory are a test for you?"

"Ok!"

Jia Yao nodded slightly, "That's why I wonder if he got wind of something."

She deliberately quarreled with Yun Zheng and pretended not to understand what Yun Zheng said. In fact, it was because she was worried that everything Yun Zheng said was a test.

"If according to what the princess said, I feel that Yun Zheng should be sincere, right?"

Budu frowned and looked at Jiayao, "Princess, aren't you being too cautious? If Yun Zheng really allows us to occupy land overseas, we won't have to be so sneaky over there. We can even send people to learn shipbuilding skills from him..."

Jia Yao exiled Luntai in order to let Luntai hide away from Zhenhe and concentrate on developing his power, strive to build large ships that can go to sea as soon as possible, and migrate the people of Beihuan overseas little by little.

In this way, even if Beihuan is inevitably integrated into Daqian in the future, they can preserve the fire for Beihuan and rebuild Beihuan overseas, so as to avoid the destruction of the country.

This is the worst they could do.

"I also know that I'm being too cautious."

Jia Yao rubbed his head again, "But I don't dare to gamble! What if Yun Zheng is really just testing me? My carelessness may bring disaster to Beihuan."

"It's not that serious, right?" Budu frowned. "We just want to flee overseas and rebuild Beihuan. We don't want to be Yun Zheng's enemy. He won't be so cruel, right?"

"I don't know either!"

Jia Yao let out a long breath, "Some things, before it comes to that point, no one can say it! We just want to escape overseas to prevent Beihuan from being destroyed, but when we get to Yun Zheng, he might think that we are escaping overseas to accumulate strength and make a comeback in the future..."

This was the last escape route she left for Bei Huan.

It is also a last resort.

She didn't dare to gamble until she was sure that Yun Zheng would really allow them to do so.

If you lose the bet, this last way out will be gone.

If that time really comes, we will have no choice but to watch Beihuan gradually go to destruction.

"Princess, you may have underestimated Yun Zheng, or overestimated ourselves."

Budu sighed softly and looked at Jiayao with a complicated expression, "Although I hate Yun Zheng, I also admire him! For Yun Zheng, what threat can we pose to him if we flee overseas?"

Even if they fled overseas, it certainly not everyone in the country did.

At most, it would be a matter of tens of thousands of people.

Moreover, these tens of thousands of people are not all healthy soldiers, and they still need women to reproduce.

What kind of threat can such a small number of people pose to Yun Zheng?

It would probably be several hundred years before their number of people would grow to the point where they could pose a threat to Yun Zheng.

By that time, Yun Zheng would have already turned into a handful of earth!

He doesn't care whether it's a threat or not!

Not everyone understands Jiayao’s caution, but understanding does not mean agreement.

On the contrary, he felt that this was an opportunity to confront Yun Zheng.

If they could send people to Shuobei to learn shipbuilding skills, the process of migrating their population overseas could be greatly shortened.

Perhaps, they will be able to see Beihuan rebuilt overseas during their lifetime.

Listening to Bu Du's words, Jia Yao also lowered his head and began to think.

Even my mentor said so.

Am I really being too cautious?

Okay, but what if Yun Zheng is really just testing us?

Crazy!

Perhaps, just as Yun Zheng said, I really have gone insane!

However, when she thought that was their last way out, she couldn't help but go crazy.

Even if there was a 99% chance of winning, she wouldn't dare gamble on such a thing.

She is very thoughtful, but Yun Zheng is even more thoughtful than her.

She is not Yun Zheng, so she doesn't know what Yun Zheng is thinking.

After a long silence, Jia Yao sighed and said, "Let's keep this matter secret! I will also find a way to test Yun Zheng's attitude again, and make a decision after we are sure!"

"All right!"

Budu nodded helplessly, "In fact, when Yun Zheng mentioned that matter, the princess should have used this opportunity to propose sending people to learn shipbuilding skills from him, to test whether he was sincere or just pretending..."

"really."

Jia Yao agreed with that, but laughed at himself, "At that time, all I could think about was whether he had discovered something. I was so panicked that I only thought about how to cover it up. I didn't think about so much..."

Upon hearing this, Budu couldn't help but look at Jiayao with heartache.

It’s really hard for her!

You must be cautious at all times and never make any mistakes.

In such a huge city like Beihuan, there are only a few people who can share her worries.

"Princess, there is no need to worry."

Budu forced a smile and said, "There will be plenty of opportunities to discuss this with Yun Zheng in the future. There's no rush."

"Ah."

Jia Yao also forced a smile and asked, "How is He Asu?"

In the previous battle with the northern barbarians, Heasu was seriously injured and almost died.

Her trip there and back took nearly a month.

I don’t know if Heasu is feeling better recently.

"Princess, don't worry. Heasu is much better now."

Budu smiled, "However, I'm afraid he won't be able to lead the army in this battle against the northern barbarians."

"It doesn't matter!"

Jia Yao shook his head and smiled, "She doesn't need to lead the army into battle. I learned another trick from Yun Zheng this time, and there is a task that can be handed over to him!"

Military Academy!

Beihuan does not necessarily have to set up a military academy, but it can let Heasu recruit some talented people and teach them how to lead troops in battle.

Heasu couldn't ride a horse to fight, but he had no problem talking.

Yun Zheng is constantly developing, they can't just stand still...
