Chapter 1525 Keep an eye on them

Recently, Zhao Qian has had some headaches and even worries because of the marriage between Yanfeng and Tianji.

The marriage between Yanfeng and Tianji was something that had never happened before. When Zhao Qian first heard the news, he was also shocked, but then came the troubles.

The princess of Yanfeng was going to marry Tianji, so she had to pass through Xiufeng. In fact, Xiufeng was not much different from other countries. There were also bandits rampant in the country. Once the Yanfeng wedding party encountered any accidents in Xiufeng, the responsibility would be blamed on Xiufeng.

In order to avoid accidents, Zhao Qian immediately started to suppress the bandits in the country after learning that Yanfeng and Tianji were about to marry. However, these bandits had appeared for more than one or two days, and they could not be suppressed in one or two days. Therefore, Zhao Qian was still quite nervous these days.

In addition, as a country sandwiched between Tianji and Yanfeng, Xiufeng was already struggling to survive. It was only because these two superpowers were suspicious of each other and distrusted each other that they were able to survive until now.

But if the two countries complete the marriage, then the relationship between the two countries will definitely be much closer, at least closer than before. At that time, it is not impossible for the two countries to negotiate and divide their Xiufeng.

Therefore, Zhao Qian's worries are not worth telling to outsiders.

But he has no way out. Their Xiufeng is just a small country and does not have much say. It is simply unable to prevent Yanfeng and Tianji from marrying.

"Your Majesty, I think the reason why the Fengqi Battalion of Shuiyue came to our Xiufeng country may be to target the Yanfeng country's wedding team." When Zhao Qian was upset, the subordinate spoke.

"Hmm?" Zhao Qian was slightly stunned when he heard his words: "They came for the Yanfeng Kingdom's wedding procession, they..."

"Your Majesty, it's not just our Xiufeng Kingdom that doesn't want Yanfeng Kingdom and Tianji Kingdom to marry, Shuiyue Kingdom also doesn't want to see this scene, and they even hope that the marriage between the two superpowers will fail more than our Xiufeng Kingdom." The subordinate said.

"Well, there is some truth." Zhao Qian nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.

What his subordinate said was right. From the perspective of Shuiyue Kingdom, they also don't want to see the marriage between Yanfeng Kingdom and Tianji Kingdom succeed, which is very disadvantageous to them. If these two superpowers form an alliance, I'm afraid the monarchs and ministers of Shuiyue Kingdom will be restless.

"If the Shuiyue people want to destroy this marriage, they will only choose to do it in our Xiufeng country. It is obviously not suitable to do it in the territory of Tianji country and Yanfeng country."

"You are right." Zhao Qian said: "You should immediately determine the location of the Shuiyue cavalry and the current location of the Yanfeng country's wedding party. I need to know their movements as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The subordinate responded and left.

This man is called Guan Fei. He is not a military general or a civil official, but his status in Xiufeng country is not low. He is responsible for intelligence and assassination. Such people exist in almost every country. They rarely appear in public on weekdays, but they are feared by civil officials and military generals.

Not long after, Guan Fei came to see Zhao Qian again and brought Zhao Qian the latest news.

"Your Majesty, the Yanfeng country's wedding party is currently near Shanyue City, and the Shuiyue country's front cavalry camp is near Hufeng City." Guan Fei said.

"From this point of view, the front cavalry battalion of Shuiyue Kingdom is indeed heading for the wedding procession of Yanfeng Kingdom!" Zhao Qian stood up and said.

This is an opportunity for them!

If the cavalry of Shuiyue Kingdom can destroy the wedding procession of Yanfeng Kingdom, then the marriage between Yanfeng Kingdom and Tianji Kingdom will naturally not be completed. Of course, Yanfeng Kingdom and Tianji Kingdom will definitely guess that it was the people of Shuiyue Kingdom who did it. Only they have this motive, courage, and strength.

However, it is obvious that Shuiyue Kingdom will not admit it at that time.

But these have nothing to do with their Xiufeng Kingdom. This is a matter between the three major countries. Although the wedding procession of Yanfeng Kingdom was destroyed in the territory of their Xiufeng Kingdom, at that time, Tianji Kingdom and Yanfeng Kingdom will definitely blame their Xiufeng Kingdom, but the emperors of these two major countries will definitely guess who is behind the scenes. Anyway, it is definitely not the bandits in their Xiufeng Kingdom, and it is even less likely to be their Xiufeng Kingdom itself.

It is true that there are bandits in Xiufeng. Zhao Qian was worried that those bandits would harass the wedding procession of Yanfeng, but that was just harassment. With the strength of Yanfeng's wedding procession, the bandits in Xiufeng would not succeed even if they wanted to attack the wedding procession. They would only cause some troubles for the wedding procession, that's all.

Therefore, if Yanfeng's wedding procession had an accident in Xiufeng, it must be done by Shuiyue.

Once Shuiyue's army succeeded, the crisis of Xiufeng would be resolved.

The key question now is whether Shuiyue's front cavalry camp can succeed.

"You continue to keep an eye on these two teams and notify me immediately if there is any latest news." Zhao Qian ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Guan Fei left after receiving the task.

Then, Zhao Qian shouted, "Come here!"

Soon, a eunuch ran in.

"Grind the ink!" Zhao Qian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Qian sat down on his dragon chair, picked up the pen and started writing. He was not practicing calligraphy or writing an imperial edict, but writing a letter to Yelu Zong, the emperor of Shuiyue.

As an emperor who was disliked by the emperors of Yanfeng and Tianji and was considered too greedy, Zhao Qian would naturally not miss this opportunity to gain benefits.

Zhao Qian wrote directly to Yelu Zong, the emperor of Shuiyue, telling him that he already knew their purpose and could provide convenience to him, such as the route of Yanfeng's wedding team, the replenishment of supplies along the way, the cooperation of the government, etc., but Shuiyue would have to pay something for it, such as money, horses, cloth, jewelry, etc.

Obviously, Zhao Qian was doing business with Yelu Zong, or threatening him. His words revealed that if Yelu Zong did not give him something, he would destroy Shuiyue's mission.

Although the killing of Zhao Qi by the cavalry of Shuiyue was also beneficial to their Xiufeng country, Zhao Qian didn't care so much. As long as he knew that the people of Shuiyue were also anxious, he could take advantage of it.

After writing the letter, Zhao Qian handed it to the eunuch next to him and said, "Send it to Shuiyue Kingdom immediately without delay! If Shuiyue Kingdom has a reply, give it to me immediately, understand?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
