But things are not as simple as Yi Jinyi thought. Since there is no way to go, just follow this road.
"There is no rush for border issues. Let's deal with them in two days."
The ministers all agreed. After all, as long as they knew that this matter would not fall on their heads, it would be enough.
Two days later
"Report."
Yi Jinyi was handling memorials in Panlong Hall. Mo Yu and he had been very busy these days and had never stopped working.
Yi Jinyi was interrupted by the soldier's reckless voice. He put down the brush in his hand and looked at it with a frown.
Then he slapped his hands hard, and the table made a loud noise.
The servant knelt down immediately, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on the soldier's forehead.
"What has caused you to be so busy? You have lost all manners? Do you think I am serious?"
He was frightened by the reckless collision and was in a bad mood. He slammed the table hard and his face turned pale.
"I know I was wrong. I was reckless and didn't know etiquette. I hope the emperor won't hold it against me."
The soldier calmed his rapid breathing as he finished speaking, and the rise and fall of his chest became less intense.
Yi Jinyi thought about it and waved his hand.
After receiving the emperor's forgiveness and signal, the soldier immediately kowtowed hard on the floor.
"If you are so anxious, tell me now. Let me see what has happened that has made you lose your manners and rush in directly."
When the soldier heard this, he felt a chill down his spine, thinking that the emperor might not really have forgiven him.
Holding the envelope tightly in his hand, Yi Jinyi handed it over and signaled to the father-in-law beside him, who then stepped forward to take the thing.
His eyes kept scanning the letter, without reading all the contents, and his expression began to turn ugly.
The aura emanating from his body began to change, and a biting chill emanated from around Yi Jinyi.
"Pah..."
"How can this be possible!"
When Yi Jinyi saw the contents of the letter, he never expected this result. This news was very serious.
The servants didn't know what was going on and lowered their heads.
"Call the ministers into the palace now. I have something important to discuss with them."
After saying that, the servants went to prepare. Yi Jinyi immediately called some ministers to discuss the matter. This matter concerned the safety of the country and must be taken very seriously.
Half an hour later
The ministers hurried over from outside the palace, and Yi Jin Yisheng spoke.
"Do you know why I urgently summoned you all today?"
His Highness chattered, but no one spoke, and then they all shook their heads.
"I don't know. Please ask the emperor for instructions."
Yi Jinyi had a solemn expression and looked at everyone seriously. When everyone saw Yi Jinyi's expression, they knew that this matter was not that simple.
"According to reports from soldiers on the border, Tianyu Country has lost three cities. This matter is closely related to Lanyue Country."
As soon as Yi Jinyi finished speaking, there was a sigh and a lot of discussion in the palace, and every lip was discussing this matter.
The issue of Tianyu's territory must be taken seriously by everyone, but...
Terror is not that simple.
"this… "
Everyone was speechless. This matter was so serious that they didn't know what to say.
Suddenly a minister came out.
"I think we should quickly send our soldiers to compete with Lanyue Country. Otherwise, I am afraid that our border area will only get smaller and smaller."
Yi Jinyi was so anxious about the news that he lost his composure and made the ministers anxious.
Calling them so soon would probably be useless. I'm afraid the Lanyue Kingdom has already made preparations in advance.
Yi Jinyi couldn't figure out the specific reason for a moment.
What they didn't know was that Chu Xuanyao immediately reported to his father after returning to Lanyue Kingdom.
He even told everyone all the grievances he had suffered, exaggerating what he said and saying many things that should not be said.
The prince who had always been favored was humiliated in Tianyu Kingdom, and the emperor of Lanyue Kingdom immediately felt uncomfortable.
"How could such a thing happen? Is this how Tianyu Kingdom treats my prince?"
The King of Lanyue Kingdom's face changed immediately, and Chu Xuanyao's eyes turned when he saw that his news was mentioned.
Mo Yu, just wait and see. I will not tell my father about your humiliation of me.
Chu Xuanyao immediately looked aggrieved and sad.
"Father, you don't know that I was humiliated in Tianyu Country and bullied by the Marquis of Tianyu Country. Moreover, this Marquis openly challenged me and said that my Lanyue Country would be defeated miserably like last time."
When the king of Lanyue Kingdom heard this, his face turned red with anger, but Chu Xuanyao still felt that the matter was not a big deal, so he continued.
"I think it's okay for me to suffer a little, but it concerns the reputation of Lanyue Country. I can't bear it. I..."
Chu Xuanyao spoke hesitantly, and the Lanyue Kingdom became furious after hearing what he said, and immediately sent troops to attack the Lanyue Kingdom.
Chu Xuanyao was a cunning man. He thought that the Lanyue Kingdom was preparing to strike first and that his plan was unintentional, so naturally he had a great chance of winning.
In just three days, they had captured the three cities of Tianyu Kingdom so quietly that even the border guards had no time to inform the authorities.
The sudden news disrupted all of Tianyu Kingdom's plans, and Yi Jinyi did not expect Lanyue Kingdom to act so quickly.
At this time, Mo Yu had become the focus. He fell into deep thought and was confused.
How could it be? Although the two of them had a conflict in secret, how could it be
Besides, the lesson Yi Jinyi taught Chu Xuanyao was very small, and he sent secret guards to do it, quietly and silently, so how could it be possible
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Mo Yu began to investigate what had happened in the past few days. It must be that Chu Xuanyao had informed the king of Lanyue Kingdom to attack Tianyu Kingdom and asked him to do so.
But I don't know exactly what happened...
Mo Yu kept investigating the small details and suddenly thought of something.
Could it be...
Mo Yu glanced at Yi Qingyu beside him. When Yi Qingyu saw Mo Yu looking at him, he avoided his gaze and turned his head away.
Mo Yu didn't dare to believe it at first and was confused, but when Yi Qingyu gave him a look, he immediately understood.
In order not to reveal his flaws, Yi Qingyu pretended to be calm, but he had already figured it out. Then Mo Yu turned his head and looked at Yi Jinyi.
The two people's eyes met each other, and Yi Jinyi saw something from Mo Yu's expression. Then he glanced at Yi Qingyu out of the corner of his eye.
Mo Yu thought about how the two of them were very close when Chu Xuanyao was still in the capital, and what Chu Xuanyao had said when he boasted about Yi Qingyu in the court, so it was likely that the two of them had a very close connection.
The more I think about it, the more I am sure that this person is Yi Qingyu. And what happened in the past few days, the two of them were together in the hunting ground, talking and laughing, I am afraid...
Yi Jinyi naturally understood what Mo Yu meant. It seemed that this matter was most likely related to Yi Qingyu.
