Chapter 5316: Means
There were rumors in the market that the assassination was done by the eldest prince and the second princess' lover. Although it was unsuccessful, it at least achieved some goals.
They were warning and threatening Ye Wudao, but Ye Wudao was still so brazen against them until now.
"Commander Long, this is not your fault." Ye Wudao looked at Long Wei and smiled helplessly: "I think you did a good job. Only by making enough preparations can you protect my safety."
"Thank you for your understanding, sir." Long Wei looked grateful.
"No need to be so polite, it's all right." Ye Wudao nodded, then looked straight ahead, and Yue Xue, who was wearing silver armor, came over.
Ye Wudao looked puzzled: "General Yue, is there something?"
"His Highness asked you to come over and talk about something."
"Okay."
Soon, Yue Xue led Ye Wudao to the back garden of the imperial palace, where the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the scenery was beautiful. Ji Youlan was in the garden, wearing a white fairy dress, playing the piano, and she was the only one.
"Your Highness." After Ye Wudao arrived, he sat next to him and listened to the class without disturbing him.
After a beautiful piano piece, Ji Youlan looked at Ye Wudao and smiled, "Friend Ye, your expression seems to be a little strange. Did you cause trouble outside?"
"Your Highness is right." Ye Wudao told Ji Youlan the cause and effect of what had just happened.
After listening, Ji Youlan's face was a little solemn, but she was relieved soon and said, "If my father cares about it, then I will try my best to protect you, but there are several major events recently, and you are in time."
"With these major events, my father will definitely use you. Besides, he is about to abdicate. If he takes you down for some reason at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling the world that he has given up on me?"
"I still made your Highness worried. If your majesty holds me accountable, I will explain it well." Ye Wudao apologized seriously.
"It's okay." Ji Youlan said, "There's a big thing recently, you should have heard about it. For some reason, enemies are ready to move at the border of Shenxia again. This time, of course, they are not evil cultivators. You should have heard about it."
Ye Wudao also heard that there are unknown forces supporting the small countries around Shenxia, making them ready to move, but in Ye Wudao's view, these are minor forces and not a big deal.
What we are afraid of is that there will be trouble if there is an internal and external collaboration. As long as the military department is united and Ji Qingwu has no intention of betraying Shenxia, the worst situation will not happen.
But thinking of this, Ye Wudao's face suddenly looked a little strange: "Your Highness, when you talk about this, do you want to..."
"Ji Qingwu will not sit and wait for death like others. The fact that she can take down the Ministry of War is enough to prove that her methods are ruthless and far beyond Ji Kong's reach."
"If you want to take action against her, I'm afraid you will be strongly retaliated. You expected that you would win over one side to attack the other, but in fact, it is very likely that they will unite."
Ye Wudao smiled and said: "Your Highness, but we have to do this, it is precisely because they guessed our concerns that we have to do this to beat them. A surprise attack."
"And... our recent performance is also very good, and we can expand the scale of mercenaries in Zhendu Prefecture."
"Do you think it's possible?" Ji Youlan said a little uneasy: "Now there are so many people, if we expand again, my father will think too much."
"Your Highness, don't worry, I don't think he will take action, at least not now, and it's not just other people who can cooperate inside and outside. Of course, I'm not talking about betraying Shenxia..."
Ji Youlan's pupils shrank, and after thinking for a moment, she suddenly smiled: "I understand, you are talking about Huilong Chamber of Commerce, can their methods really cover the small countries around my Shenxia?"
