Chapter 42: The War is About to Start

Sun Moon City, Royal Palace.

In the back garden, Li Haotian was sitting in a small pavilion, with a faint look of expectation on his face.

After a while, Wang Fuchen and his daughter came slowly. Seeing this, he immediately went up to greet them.

"Sister Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much."

Wang Mengyu bowed and saluted.

"I have met Your Majesty. Mengyu was feeling unwell a few days ago. Your Majesty is worried."

Her face was slightly pale, her voice was soft but out of breath, and she looked indeed ill.

"Quick, sister Wang, sit down quickly."

Li Haotian looked distressed and helped Wang Mengyu sit down in the pavilion.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After sitting down, Li Haotian asked: "Sister Wang, what did the imperial doctor say? Just get whatever medicinal materials you need."

Wang Mengyu chuckled and shook his head, saying: "Mengyu just caught the wind and cold occasionally, it's not a problem."

"I just heard the news that the Barbarian Niu Clan, together with all the tribes in the grassland, boasting a million-strong army, is about to move south. I wonder how your Majesty will respond?"

Li Haotian sighed and said: "The grassland is far away from the royal city. When we received the news, we were afraid that they had already set off. Xihe Kingdom was the first to bear the brunt. With their current national strength, they absolutely cannot resist it. In my opinion, the empire The rescue order is coming soon."

Wang Mengyu frowned and said: "The northwest of the kingdom is also bordered by the grassland. There is no guarantee that we will not encounter attacks. Your Majesty needs to take precautions early."

"I have ordered Murong Ying to station 100,000 troops at the border. At the same time, I have mobilized Zhao An from Dongshan City and ordered him to lead an army of 50,000 people to rush to support at night. I expect there will be no problem."

Nodding, Wang Mengyu said: "Your Majesty has thought carefully, the border is majestic, and there are 150,000 troops here, the Barbarian Niu tribe should have some scruples."

At this time, the Prime Minister Wang, who had been ignored all the time, said: "Even if the foreign tribes go south this time, our vassal countries alone can resist it for a while, but in the end the strength will be very different, and their vitality will be seriously damaged."

"I think we should send envoys to Yundu City immediately and let His Majesty the Emperor send out troops to fight the aliens on the grassland."

Wang Mengyu agreed: "What my father said is absolutely true. After a hundred years of reform, the empire has become stronger and has a deeper foundation than we imagined. If the empire can send troops, it will definitely be able to defeat the foreign races."

"Okay, just listen to what you two said, I will immediately send envoys to Yundu City to find out the empire's actions!"

After thinking for a moment, Wang Mengyu said: "Your Majesty, according to Mengyu, if the empire sends troops to win, it can take advantage of the situation to send troops out of the grassland. If the empire fails, the Xihe Kingdom will not survive. The aliens in the grassland only know how to plunder. When they retreat, Your Majesty can Send troops to chase and kill him, by the way..."

"By the way, I took over the city that he rejected for free!"

Li Haotian laughed.

"Mei Wang is smart, so let's do it!"

Wang Mengyu smiled faintly.

The three of them discussed some details again, and suddenly, Wang Mengyu remembered something.

"Your Majesty, have any of the people you sent to the Chaos Corner come back to report back?"

"The Prime Minister has taken charge of this matter."

Li Haotian turned to ask: "I wonder if the Prime Minister has received any news?"

Wang Fuchen smiled bitterly when he heard this and shook his head.

"My veteran has sent dozens of elite spies, and all of them have reported back. No whereabouts of the thieves have been found."

Li Haotian was stunned and said: "The rebels have bright armor and are easy to identify. Could it be that they didn't go to the Chaos Corner?"

After a moment of silence, Wang Mengyu shook his head and said: "He raises private soldiers among the people and hides weapons. He must have ambitions. If he wants to make a name for himself, Chaos Corner is undoubtedly the best place."

"That person is cunning. Mengyu guesses that they may have broken into pieces. They are recharging their energy in the winter and will definitely take action after the spring."

"good!"

Li Haotian said loudly: "Prime Minister! Continue to send people to explore the Chaos Corner and be sure to find the rebels!"
