Chapter 778 Only You Can Be Trusted

"Since you don't believe it, why did you choose to take a tough stance in the face of the changes in the Blackwater Kingdom and appoint me as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces?" Wu Fan couldn't help but ask.

"Do I have any other choice?" Wu Ya smiled bitterly and said: "How could I not know the wolfish ambitions of Shuiyue Kingdom and Yanfeng Kingdom? If I choose to believe you, there is at least some hope, and suing for peace may allow our Nanping Kingdom to survive. It will take a while, but it will eventually be destroyed. In that case, why don’t I choose to believe and give it a try?”

Wu Fan looked at Wu Ya steadily for a while and then said: "I found that you are indeed the material to be the emperor. Your thinking is even more thorough than those of the ministers who have been in office for many years."

Shuiyue Kingdom's ability to mercilessly massacre the Nanping Kingdom's royal family has long shown that they have the intention to destroy Nanping Kingdom. The previous support for Wu Xian to become emperor was just a delaying tactic to allow the people of Nanping Kingdom to accept the process, and at the same time not to overdo it. Stimulate the Yanfeng Kingdom, and also use Wu Xian to continuously exploit the Nanping Kingdom, weakening their strength, and finally complete the annexation. By then, they will encounter very little resistance.

As for the Yanfeng Kingdom, the old emperor also made plans for the Nanping Kingdom very early. This can be seen from the fact that a prince like Wu Xian who was not valued before was surrounded by spies. Perhaps the old emperor of the Yanfeng Kingdom was like this before. The layout was just to prevent unexpected events, but after the assassination and Shuiyue Kingdom's continuous strengthening of control over Nanping Kingdom, the old emperor would definitely choose to annex Nanping Kingdom. Only in this way can he be completely relieved.

Therefore, whether it is the Shuiyue Kingdom or the Yanfeng Kingdom, they will not let go of the Nanping Kingdom. Just like what Wu Ya just said, it will be a matter of time for the Nanping Kingdom to be destroyed by one of the two. If you work hard, Maybe there is still hope. Suing for peace will only make the two big countries see the weakness of Nanping, so they will act more unscrupulously and will not let them go.

However, Qin Wei and others could not see things that Wu Ya could see, and they did not know whether they really couldn't see it, or they were blinded because it involved their interests.

"I am also forced to have no choice." Wu Ya said with a bitter smile.

"Don't worry, I will do my best to prevent the worst case scenario from happening." Wu Fan said to Wu Ya.

"Yes." Wu Ya nodded: "Are you 80% sure that what you just said is true or false?"

"Of course it's true. The crime of deceiving the emperor requires beheading." Wu Fan smiled.

Wu Ya rolled her eyes at Wu Fan again and said, "If you say that, I feel more relieved. You are the only person I can trust now."

"Then I will try my best not to let you down." Wu Fan said.

Although the old emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom doesn't know the specific response yet, judging from the feedback from Li Ziyang, the problem shouldn't be big and the old emperor should be able to be temporarily stabilized.

If the Yanfeng Kingdom does not take action, it will not only reduce the threat to the Nanping Kingdom, but also deter the Shuiyue Kingdom. After all, the Nanping Kingdom has been a vassal state of the Yanfeng Kingdom for hundreds of years. Now, the Yanfeng Kingdom has a different attitude. I don't know. I believe that the emperor of Shuiyue Kingdom should have some scruples in his heart. In this way, the possibility of them sending troops to attack Nanping Kingdom will be much smaller.

If only facing the attack from the Blackwater Kingdom, the Nanping Kingdom would not have no hope of winning.

Of course, all this is just Wu Fan's guess. Although he is somewhat certain, he is not completely sure of what the facts will be, so he did not finish his words just now.

However, the Nanping Kingdom categorically refused to pay the Shuiyue Kingdom war compensation. The Shuiyue Kingdom would definitely not give up. Inciting the Blackwater Kingdom's army to attack the Nanping Kingdom should be a means of revenge for them. They may even dispatch A small number of troops participated in this battle as soldiers of the Blackwater Kingdom.

So, there is still pressure.

"Master Zhao, you are not really going to raise food and grass for that boy who appears out of nowhere, are you?" Jiang Yun asked Zhao Xingnian as he walked outside the hall.

"The war is about to start. It is my duty to raise food and grass. It has nothing to do with who the commander is." Zhao Xingnian said calmly.

"Does Mr. Zhao think that we have a slight chance of winning this war?" Jiao Zhiyuan asked.

Zhao Xingnian looked at Cai Cheng, who still had a dark face, and said: "What I think is not important. What is important is that His Majesty has decided to fight the Blackwater Kingdom. As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I can only try my best to raise food and grass without delaying Your Majesty. 's hind legs."

"That kid with a yellow mouth talks nonsense and has no ability. He only knows how to confuse His Majesty. Your Majesty is young and ignorant. If he is deceived by him, our Nanping country is in danger this time." Jiao Zhiyuan said.

"Master Jiao, be careful what you say." Zhao Xingnian said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, is it something that you and I can discuss behind your back? Master Jiao, remember that trouble comes from the mouth."

Jiao Zhiyuan opened his mouth and said nothing more. When Wu Ya was the third princess, they could talk behind her back, but now that Wu Ya has ascended the throne and proclaimed herself emperor, as a minister, they really cannot criticize behind her back.

"Hmph, I want to see what he is capable of as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces." Cai Cheng, who had been silent all the time, said: "He actually wants to defeat the Blackwater Kingdom and the Shuiyue Kingdom. I'll see how he ends up then."

"I hope he wins." Liu Zhenyan, who had also remained silent before, said.

"What do you mean?" Cai Cheng glared at Liu Zhenyan and asked.

"If he wins, our Nanping country will still have a chance to breathe, and it is not impossible to even change our destiny because of this." Facing Cai Cheng's glare, Liu Zhenyan's expression did not change: "If he loses, then our Nanping country will be very It is possible that the country will really perish. Does Mr. Cai want to see our Nanping country perish? "

"What if I don't want to see it? We can't win at all!" Cai Cheng said.

"That may not be the case." Liu Zhenyan said lightly.

"You actually think he can win?" Cai Cheng looked at Liu Zhenyan with incredible eyes and said, "Unless the sun rises from the west, otherwise, there is no possibility of us winning!"

"Then let's wait and see." Liu Zhenyan said, no longer paying attention to Cai Cheng, and left directly.

Zhao Xingnian looked at Cai Cheng and others, and also left quickly.

Cai Cheng and others looked at the two people who left, their faces changed slightly, and they had their own thoughts in their hearts.

After Wu Fan got the tiger talisman for mobilizing the army from Wu Ya, he left the palace and went straight to the suburban camp, where an army was stationed. This time to the border, Wu Fan wanted to take this team with him to enhance the military strength of the border.

Although the Black Water Kingdom is not as powerful as the Water Moon Kingdom, it should not be underestimated. Neither Wu Fan nor Wu Ya dared to be careless.

The suburban camp is not far from the imperial city. After Wu Fan learned the location, he arrived there quickly.

"Stop now!"
