Chapter 1211: Look at other people's faces

For this situation, Pei Yu, a general of Nanping, was also quite helpless. In fact, because he was stationed in Shanling Pass for many years, he felt more bitter than Wu Fan.

Nanping has experienced many wars in recent years, most of which occurred in the Shanling Pass area, and these wars were basically fought with Heishui.

In these wars, the attacks launched by Heishui were not many, mainly under the instigation of Shuiyue. Of course, Nanping was also instigated by Yanfeng.

It can be said that although the two parties involved in the war were Nanping and Heishui most of the time, the ones who really wanted to fight were Yanfeng and Shuiyue, and Nanping and Heishui were just pawns in the hands of these two superpowers.

Nanping and Heishui are small countries sandwiched between the two superpowers, Shuiyue and Yanfeng. Once Shuiyue really attacks Yanfeng, it must pass through Nanping. They will definitely not mind and will deal with Nanping, a vassal of Yanfeng.

Of course, Shuiyue can also attack Yanfeng through another route, that is, through the wilderness plain.

But the wilderness plain is now occupied by the demon army, and the number of demon armies there is constantly increasing. No one knows to what extent it has increased. Moreover, the demon army has very high combat effectiveness and strong strength.

So, in comparison, it is obviously safer and more convenient to take the Nanping route.

"The situation is indeed unfavorable to us, especially this situation that requires us to look at other people's faces, which is even worse." Wu Fan said.

"Now I just hope that Yanfeng will agree to Tianji's marriage request, so that our Nanping can avoid a war." Pei Yu said.

Pei Yu's words made Wu Fan frown slightly. It was not because he was dissatisfied with Pei Yu. In fact, as a Nanping countryman, it was normal for Pei Yu to have such thoughts. He must have considered the problem from the perspective of Nanping. Once a war broke out between Shuiyue and Yanfeng, Nanping would inevitably be attacked. With the strength of Nanping, it would undoubtedly be very difficult to resist the attack of Shuiyue.

Therefore, from Pei Yu's perspective, it was natural not to want Yanfeng and Shuiyue to go to war.

But Wu Fan obviously could not have such an idea, because once Yanfeng agreed to the marriage, the candidate for the marriage would inevitably be the seventh princess Zhao Qi, and Zhao Qi was Wu Fan's friend. Wu Fan obviously would not want to see Zhao Qi marrying far away in another country, and it was a country that was very hostile to Yanfeng. Once Zhao Qi married there, she would definitely not be happy.

However, although Wu Fan did not want this to happen, he did not seem to have any good way to stop it. Moreover, once the marriage was stopped, Shuiyue Kingdom and Yanfeng Kingdom would inevitably go to war, and Nanping Kingdom would be threatened by war again.

This was also not what Wu Fan wanted to see.

Wu Fan was quite distressed, as if the current situation was a dilemma for him. No matter what choice he made, it seemed that it was not a situation he wanted to see.

"Forget it, let's go to Shuiyue Kingdom first to complete the old emperor's instructions. If there is a chance, I will make a big fuss in Shuiyue Kingdom. If I can make Shuiyue Kingdom have no energy to participate in the war, it would be the best." Wu Fan thought to himself.

"How is the city defense repair in Shanling Pass going?" Wu Fan asked Pei Yu, putting aside his thoughts.

"All the repair work has been completed." Pei Yu replied: "Because there are a large number of prisoners in the city who do free labor, the repair work is going smoothly. Now we are further strengthening the defense of Shanling Pass, especially concentrating resources to build a large number of Zhuge Crossbows."

"Yes." Wu Fan nodded with satisfaction: "Whether there will be a war between the two superpowers, Shuiyue Kingdom and Yanfeng Kingdom, is not something we can decide. What we can do is to prepare for the war as much as possible, so as not to be caught off guard when the war comes."

Pei Yu is worthy of being a veteran who has been stationed in Shanling Pass for many years. He knows these military things very well, much more clearly than Wu Fan, a layman, and he knows what to do at this time.

"I understand." Pei Yu nodded.

"I'm going to Shuiyue Country." Wu Fan said to Pei Yu: "Whether Shuiyue Country will attack Yanfeng Country or not, it is a huge threat to our Nanping Country. I want to go there and see if there is anything I can do."

"Your Excellency, is it too dangerous to go to Shuiyue Country now? The envoy of Tianji Country is still in Shuiyue Country. They must be on high alert there. Why don't you wait before going?" Pei Yu suggested.

Wu Fan is of great significance to Nanping Country now. With Wu Fan, both Pei Yu and the defenders in Shanling Pass will be very confident that Wu Fan can lead them to victory again.

Therefore, Pei Yu absolutely does not want to see Wu Fan have an accident.

"It's okay." Wu Fan said. He had a reason to go: "Even if I encounter danger, I can escape."

Pei Yu couldn't help but think of Wu Fan's magical performance during the Shanling Pass defense battle. He nodded subconsciously and was very convinced of Wu Fan.

Then, Wu Fan blew a whistle, and a black four-winged bird flew in front of him. After that, the black four-winged bird landed on Pei Yu's shoulder at Wu Fan's signal.

"Sir, what is this?" Pei Yu looked at the black four-winged bird on his shoulder curiously, and asked Wu Fan in confusion.

"This is a black shadow four-winged bird. If you need to find me urgently, you can let it send a message. It can find me no matter where I am." Wu Fan said.

"So powerful?" Pei Yu said in surprise.

As a general who has fought for many years, Pei Yu is naturally familiar with aerial messengers, but even the most powerful aerial messengers cannot find their masters anywhere.

However, Wu Fan's black shadow four-winged bird can actually do it.

Pei Yu did not doubt Wu Fan's words, but felt that Wu Fan's ability was too magical, and he could actually make the aerial messenger do this.

"Not bad." Wu Fan said: "In this way, the situation like the imperial envoy came before, and you couldn't find me will not happen."

It was because of the last incident that Wu Fan made up his mind to catch a flying pet. Of course, if there was no Xiang Yu'er's skill book, it would be impossible for Wu Fan to catch a flying pet so smoothly.

"This is the best." Pei Yu said.

Pei Yu was still frightened by what happened last time. Now that he has the Black Shadow Four-winged Bird, he can finally stop worrying about similar things happening.
