Chapter 774 Urgent News from the Border

Until midnight, Wu Fan did not find anything unusual around the hotel, and the Swift Eagle that had been hovering in the sky also did not find anything unusual.

Wu Fan was relieved and teleported to the game world after midnight.

Back to the familiar game world, Wu Fan appeared in Zhou Guang's mansion.

It was not yet dawn, and only a few maids and servants in Zhou Guang's mansion got up. Wu Fan asked them to tell Zhou Guang and then left.

A new day, the fixed-point teleportation talisman can be used again, and Wu Fan then returned to the palace of Nanping.

After returning to the palace, Wu Fan did not stay in the room, but walked out of the room. The sky outside was gradually getting brighter, and there were already palace maids and eunuchs walking in the palace. However, because there were not many people and their footsteps were light, the whole palace seemed very quiet.

"Report! Urgent report from the border!"

Wu Fan did not enjoy this quiet feeling for long, and an anxious and hoarse voice came from the palace gate.

Then, Wu Fan saw a soldier running towards the palace with an anxious and panicked face.

Something happened!

The words and anxious movements of the soldier proved that something big had happened. Otherwise, an ordinary soldier would never dare to make a loud noise in a place like the palace.

Wu Fan followed without much hesitation. Now many people in the palace knew that Wu Fan was Wu Ya's guest, so no one would stop Wu Fan wherever he went.

When Wu Fan arrived at the hall, Wu Ya had already appeared there in full dress, holding a letter in her hand, looking at her seriously. She didn't even look at Wu Fan when he came in.

As for the soldier who had rushed to report the news before, he knelt on the ground. Wu Fan approached and could still hear his rapid breathing. Obviously, he was exhausted from running just now.

Wu Ya finished reading the letter in her hand, then raised her head, and the expression on her face was more serious than before.

"You go down first." Wu Ya said to the soldier who reported the news.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The soldier bowed respectfully and turned to leave the hall.

"Something happened?" Wu Fan said.

"Yes." Wu Ya asked the eunuch next to him to hand the letter to Wu Fan and said, "Something happened at the border. I have asked people to invite the six ministers, and they will be here soon."

Wu Fan nodded and looked at the letter in his hand.

The letter was sent by the border guards through pigeons. The letter only said one thing, that the army of Heishui Kingdom was gathering in large numbers at the border with Nanping Kingdom.

"It's expected." After reading the content of the letter, Wu Fan looked at Wu Ya and said lightly.

"Yes, it was indeed expected, but I didn't expect them to move so quickly." Wu Ya said.

Yesterday, Wu Ya publicly refused to continue paying the war reparations to Shuiyue Kingdom, and Wu Fan even beat the envoy of Shuiyue Kingdom. No matter which of these two things, it would offend Shuiyue Kingdom, and it was expected that Shuiyue Kingdom would retaliate.

As a vassal state of Shuiyue State, Heishui State was also the vanguard of the attack on Nanping State, so it was normal for the army to move.

However, although it had been expected before, when this happened, and the other party reacted so quickly, Wu Ya still felt pressured.

At this time, Zhao Xingnian and others had also arrived. After hearing Wu Ya's summons, they realized that something big might happen, so they hurried over. After all, they all knew what happened yesterday.

"No need to greet." Wu Ya stopped Zhao Xingnian and others from greeting, and said directly: "The border is reporting urgently. The army of Heishui State is gathering on a large scale and may attack our border at any time."

Zhao Xingnian and others changed color when they heard the words, "Is the news true?"

"I think the border guards dare not lie about this kind of thing." Wu Ya said in a deep voice.

Zhao Xingnian and others thought about it. This was a major event concerning the country. The border guards would not joke about such things. Moreover, they sent an urgent report to the palace. They just heard the news for the first time and were too shocked. So they asked subconsciously.

"We are not afraid of the Black Water Country. Although we may not be able to win them, it is not easy for them to win us. We are afraid that the Shuiyue Country behind them will take action. In that case, we will not be able to win." Cai Cheng said in a heavy tone.

Everyone's face was not good. Like Cai Cheng, they were not afraid of the Black Water Country, but the Shuiyue Country behind the Black Water Country. Wu Ya refused to pay the other party's war money yesterday, and Wu Fan beat the other party's envoy. It is very likely that the other party will send troops to retaliate.

"I said before that it is not appropriate for our Nanping Kingdom to start a war now. The domestic situation is unstable and your majesty has just ascended the throne. In this situation, it is better to be cautious. Even if it costs some money, it is worth it." Jiao Zhiyuan said: "Your Majesty, you are too impatient. What you did yesterday was too impulsive."

"Then according to Minister Jiao's opinion, what should I do?" Wu Ya asked with a gloomy face.

"I know that your majesty hates Shuiyue Kingdom in his heart, but for the sake of our Nanping Kingdom, your majesty should suppress this hatred for the time being, give Shuiyue Kingdom war reparations, and pretend to be friendly with them. Only in this way can we keep our Nanping Kingdom stable." Jiao Zhiyuan said.

"Wei Chen agrees with Mr. Jiao's opinion." Jiang Yun, the Minister of Rites, said before Wu Ya could speak: "The envoy from the Shuiyue Kingdom was humiliated and left yesterday. He must have a grudge against our Nanping Kingdom and will tell their emperor. No matter how bad we say, Shuiyue Kingdom will definitely not let us go for the sake of face and prestige. The current plan is to calm Shuiyue Kingdom’s anger as soon as possible and keep our Nanping Kingdom away from the flames of war. Otherwise, if Shuiyue Kingdom really takes action , our Nanping country is in danger of being destroyed."

The two people's words made Wu Ya's expression even more ugly. She looked at Zhao Xingnian and others and asked, "What do you think? At this time, let's stop hiding it."

Zhao Xingnian hesitated and did not speak, but Qin Wei faced Wu Ya and said: "We also feel that your Majesty's actions yesterday were too impulsive. The honor and disgrace of an individual should not exceed that of the entire country."

"Your Majesty, don't forget that yesterday, you rejected Yanfeng Kingdom's kindness. It is still unknown how the Yanfeng Kingdom's emperor will react. If he wants to attack us because of this, then our Nanping Kingdom will We are really on the verge of destruction," Cai Cheng said.

Except for Zhao Xingnian and Liu Zhenyan, the Minister of Punishment, the other four people at the scene expressed their opinions, and they all had the same opinion. They all believed that Wu Ya's behavior yesterday was too impulsive and irrational, which made them in Nanping Kingdom again. On the brink of war.

As for Wu Fan, who had been listening, he was automatically ignored by several people. In their view, this was a matter for their Nanping country. Wu Fan, an outsider, was not qualified to speak. Being able to listen in was already Wu Ya's extraordinary behavior. If there weren't more important things to discuss now, Qin Wei and others might have questioned Wu Ya about this matter.
