Chapter 463 Just Eat Your Piece of Bone

Ji Xun was busy until midnight before returning to her bedroom. The solemn look on her face made Su Mianyue feel sad.

She quickly got up and wrung a hot handkerchief to wipe Ji Xun's face and brought hot porridge to warm Ji Xun's stomach. Her actions as a daughter-in-law did not match her strong outfit at all, but su mianyue did it naturally.

Ever since she was with Ji Xun, Su Mianyue had learned to be a good wife without a teacher, but she didn't know it at all.

No matter how strong a woman is, she will have a little woman's side in front of the man she loves, and a woman can also turn into a pool of spring water.

"Where did the war happen?" Su Mianyue asked after Ji Xun finished eating.

Holding Su Mianyue's hand and letting her sit beside him, Ji Xun buried his head in Su Mianyue's neck. After a moment of silence, he said, "The Beichen kingdom is restless on the other side of the border. It has already begun to fight the Tianlan, but there are hundreds of thousands of troops at the border of the Yan Country."

"Beichen?" Su Mianyue was stunned. For the past few years, the Beichen had been so quiet that Su Mianyue had forgotten about the existence of this powerful country. "There has always been a shortage of food and grass. What are they fighting with?"

Of the four great powers, the Tianlan was in the middle, with a vast territory and vast resources. However, the army and horses were not strong enough, but the victory lay in the large number of people and sufficient food supply. Even if they fought in a wheelchair war, they could defend against foreign enemies. Unless the other three countries joined forces to attack the Tianlan, there would be very little war between them. In the past, Beichen would often harass the border of the Tianlan because of food, but they also robbed the food and left. Since the founding of the people's republic of china, there has been no large-scale invasion.

Beichen was in the northwest of the Tianlan, which was said to be a country but was actually led by the Beichen imperial court. Only a small amount of land could be used to grow crops, but the men, women, and children of the Beichen were good at riding and shooting, and they could enlist anyone they wanted. But because of its nomadic nature, it could not be attacked, otherwise it would have to be led by Beichen soldiers to the steppe.

Hengyuan was in the southwest of the Tianlan, much richer than the Beichen state, but the folk customs were biased towards the country, and only in the past few years did the royal family continue to fight each other to weaken the country.

As for the Yan Country, it was in the east of the Tianlan, and its territory was almost the same as that of the Yan Country. Half of its people were immediately heroes, but the second emperor strongly supported the farming and mulberry techniques in order to strengthen the country and enrich the people. Although the country was rich, the people could no longer carry guns and fight on horses. Especially in those years when Yun Wansheng was in power, in order to prevent the people from raising their objections to his governance, many young and middle-aged people were killed in the open and in the dark.

The Yan Country, the Yan Country, and the Yan Country all have borders with each other and are separated by many small countries or tribes. This arrangement makes all countries have the intention to destroy those weak groups to strengthen their own countries, which makes many small countries willing to rely on him for protection.

"Yu, isn't the old emperor of the Beichen a peacemaker? Why would he suddenly invade the heart of another country? With the power of the Beichen, it's impossible to take down the company in one fell swoop. If he wanted to send troops again, he couldn't provide them with both military and material resources, right?" Su Mianyue raised his eyebrows and asked.

"The old emperor of the Beichen is old and his power has long been taken over by his sons and brothers. This time, the military mission is definitely not the old emperor's intention." Ji Xun replied, "You ask Zhuifeng to take someone to the Beichen to investigate. We have to know the situation of the Beichen before we can deploy."

Su Mianyue asked doubtfully, "You can give the order yourself. Why should I arrange it?"

"The secret guards have been handed over to you, and you are their only master. Unless you send someone to protect me, the others can only listen to you. This is the rule of the secret guards. Even if you and I are one, we must abide by this rule. Otherwise, how can the secret guards die for you in the future?" Ji Xun smiled helplessly. He should have told Su Mianyue earlier.

"Oh." Su Mianyue nodded and stopped thinking about it. Some things need to be flexible to be more efficient, but this is not the first thing. "Yu, should you send Mu Tinng a letter of state?"

"You want me to help him?" Ji Xun's tone was a little sour.

Su Mianyue heard it and said, "This is not a time of chaos for the various countries. The Yan Country and the Hengyuan are bound to be enemies. Now Beichen is afraid that it will become enemies. If we can make good relations with the other two countries, we can at least give us some buffer time. Otherwise, even if we can win, it will be a tragic victory, and the country will not be the country."

"I understand." Ji Xun sighed, took Su Mianyue into his arms and said, "I have written Mu Tinng a letter of state and a secret letter. If we really want to start a war, we can't be afraid. We can't let the enemy succeed even if we fight with both losses. As for whether Mu Tinng is willing to join forces with me, it depends on whether his mind can put the country first."

"He will," Su Mianyue said firmly, provoking Ji Xun's displeasure. She bit Su Mianyue's neck and hissed in pain. "Are you a dog?"

"Even a dog will only eat your bone. Wash it quickly and wait for me to eat it dry!" Ji Xun didn't mind being called a dog.

Su mianyue glanced at Ji Xun, got up from his arms, sat on the other side of the couch, and said, "I forgot to tell you one thing. The maid who had served hong Yanran before committed suicide. Before she died, she had half the blood book in her hand, and the other half was in someone's hand. My instinct told me that someone was trying to stir up trouble. Hong Family students were all over the world, even if they weren't in important positions. But if they do something together, it's terrifying. It's possible that the world's literati can wipe out a country with their mouths open."

"Leave this matter to the dark guard for a thorough investigation. I'll write a letter to Elder Hong." Ji Xun raised an eyebrow, obviously smelling a conspiracy.

After a few more words, Su Mianyue urged Ji Xun to rest early and refused to nod his head no matter how much Ji Xun wanted to make love with him. Finally, he threatened to let him sleep out if he did not calm down. Ji Xun nodded in agreement.

After sleeping for more than two hours, Ji Xun got up and prepared to go to the early court. Su Mianyue couldn't sleep in his cage because of something in his heart, so he simply got up and had breakfast and went out of the palace.

At this moment, Mu Tinng, who was far away from the Tianlan palace, was fuming.

Border battles continued, and the court was tired of dealing with them, whether it was the Beichen's attack or the restless effect of the frontier fortress. Without Shangguan Pei in the army, the victories and losses of nearly 100 battles were almost equal, and the court lost two-thirds of the national treasury and many soldiers. At this time, Mu Chen and the imperial concubine escaped from Imperial Capital, and all the people needed in Prince Rui's Mansion were unknowingly transferred out of Capital City.

And Mu Chen left for a few days before Mu Tinng got the news, or the dark guard found out something was wrong first, how could Mu Tinng not be angry?

"After sealing off Prince Rui's Mansion, all the people in the mansion will be held in custody. Check Prince Rui's whereabouts thoroughly for me. If you can't find him, you can come and see him!" Mu Tinng angrily knelt down to report to the Dali Temple officials, "I will let you remember this account first. If king rui does anything bad to the court, you should wash your neck and let the whole door be buried with you!"

"I know the crime, I know the crime!" Minister of Dali Temple kept kowtowing, and his forehead soon turned red and swollen again. He said incoherently, "I will be scrutinized. I will thank your majesty for not killing me!"
