Xiao Yike suddenly came back to his senses when he heard the voice, a touch of joy crossed his face, and then he sank again for some reason, strode down the steps, walked in front of Lou Yueqing, twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Don't worry, why are you here?"

Lou Yueqing was about to answer, but he asked in a deep voice: "Didn't you send a message asking you not to leave Weiming Mountain? Why did you still come out?"

Lou Yueqing said helplessly: "Second brother, do you think you can be alone in Weiming Mountain and don't care about anything?"

Xiao Yike twisted his eyebrows, and immediately asked, "Why can't you?" These things are not your responsibility, what are you worried about with us?"

Lou Yueqing didn't know what to say.

Xiao Yike couldn't help but say, and said with a tough attitude: "You will go back to Weiming Mountain for me tomorrow!"

Lou Yueqing immediately refused: "No, I will leave for Chu tomorrow!"

Xiao Yike rarely scolded sharply: "Nonsense! What are you going back to do? Now that the Chu State is in such a mess, and your body has not yet recovered, why don't you stay in Weiming Mountain and run back?"

She hadn't been so fierce for a long time, Lou Yueqing looked at Xiao Yike in a daze and didn't speak.

Xiao Yishen saw Xiao Yike speaking so harshly, and then looked at Lou Yueqing's stunned face as if he was frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Second brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, I should be happy to see it now, what are you doing to her?"

Lou Yueqing gave him a grateful look, but Xiao Yike turned his head to look at him and scolded sharply: "Don't make trouble!"

Xiao Yi cautiously shut up.

Lou Yueqing glared at him, it would be too unrighteous.

After glaring at it, he retracted his gaze, and saw Xiao Yike's dark and calm face and wanted to talk about her again, Lou Yueqing hurriedly pulled Xiao Yike's sleeve and said pitifully: "Second brother, my good second brother, I haven't rested after a day's journey, and now I'm hungry and tired, what do you have to say when I'm full?"

What else can Xiao Yike do?

can only order someone to prepare a meal, let her eat enough first, and then say, you can't let her go hungry, but he is distressed.

Lou Yueqing is indeed hungry, she rushed for two days, last night in the small town she passed through for a night, this morning she set off all the way without rest, on the way she just ate some dry food on the road to satisfy her hunger, how can she not be hungry.

With the two of them smiling and gloomy and unhappy eyes, Lou Yueqing was very stressed to eat this meal, and when she was full, it was already half an hour later, and it was completely dark.

Xiao Yike ordered people to remove the leftovers, and then looked at her with a straight face and wanted to talk again, Lou Yueqing stopped him in time, and said in a firm and serious tone: "Second brother, don't say it, since I came out, I won't go back to Weiming Mountain now, no matter how much you say, it's useless!"

Xiao Yike's face became more and more cold, and he looked at her deadly, but he didn't speak, it should be said that he didn't know what to say.

He doesn't understand this sister of his, what he says is what he says, he can't persuade him, since she said so, unless he has the ability to tie her up and send her back, he really has nothing to do with her, but he can tie her up and send her back...... Not to mention that he is reluctant, even if he is ruthless, he can't beat her......

Xiao Yike couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration.

Xiao Yishen on the side smiled, Xiao Yike's face was frustrated and helpless, but it was really like when he usually faced Su Luran and the two children, he was so angry, but he couldn't beat or scold.

Xiao Yike slowly turned his head when he heard the laughter, and looked at Xiao Yishen suspiciously.

He didn't dare to provoke Xiao Yike, otherwise he would be provoked, and when he returned to the capital, he wouldn't want to be idle, if Xiao Yike and the Queen Mother suggested that he choose a princess for him. He's in trouble.

Xiao Yike snorted coldly, retracted his gaze and continued to look at Lou Yueqing, thinking of something, he squinted his eyes suddenly, and asked, "Rong Zhi still doesn't know about the matter of you coming out of Weiming Mountain, right?"

Lou Yueqing was sincere: "I don't know, I came out without him!"

Xiao Yike raised his eyebrows, not knowing......

Lou Yueqing saw Xiao Yike like that, she knew what he was thinking, waved her hand and said: "Second brother, I know what your idea is, but don't think about it, even if you tell Rong Zhi that I won't go back, I have made up my mind, this time the Chu country is in trouble, I must not stand idly by, at most, I will be glared at by him for a few days and cold, but it is better than me not caring about anything and letting him face it alone!"

Xiao Yike was extremely helpless, she said so, what else could he do?

Lou Yueqing said solemnly: "Okay, now let's get down to business, I already heard it very clearly above when you were negotiating, and I also heard your plan, but to be honest, I don't agree with your plan to aid Chu State!"

This made the two curious, Xiao Yike frowned, and Xiao Yishen asked puzzled: "Oh? Why, don't you want Liguo to send troops to help Chu?"

Lou Yueqing shook her head: "No, the sixth brother misunderstood, I didn't mean this!"

"And what do you mean?"

Lou Yueqing smiled lightly: "Now it is no secret that Beili has gathered 500,000 troops in Ruyang to help Chu State, and the word aid is also the reason why the ministers in the court of Liguo oppose it, after all, no one wants to do thankless things, and there are many people in the army who are unwilling to risk going and not returning to help Chu State survive the crisis!"

Xiao Yishen listened to the words, and his eyes narrowed.

Xiao Yike spoke at the right time, and the meaning was unclear: "What does it mean to let us wave our troops to attack Dongyou?"

Lou Yueqing nodded: "Not bad!"

Xiao Yike and Xiao Yishen glanced at each other, but suddenly fell silent.

Lou Yueqing hooked the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: " Now the court is boiling, most of the reason for opposition is just that this time to help Chu against Dongyou has no actual benefits for the country, on the contrary, it will cause the people to complain, and their opposition is normal, but if it is to send troops to attack Dongyou, it will be different, no matter how much territory is taken, it is all the country of the country, the expansion of territory is the dream of every emperor, and now there is such a good opportunity, you know, Nangong Yi is ambitious, now it is the state of Chu, the next is the country of Li, if the country of Li sends troops to attack, it is just to grasp the initiative, so that Dongyou is overwhelmed, and no one will object！”

Originated from her, it is normal for Liguo to send troops to help Chu State, but such a manpower-consuming thing, even if this trouble is pacified in the future, the Chu State will compensate, but it is difficult to offset after all, so it is inevitable that the courtiers will oppose the people and complain, but if it is to attack Dongyou to expand the territory, it will be different!

It can expand its territory and help the Chu State, but it kills two birds with one stone.

Xiao Yishen looked at Xiao Yike and said seriously: "Second brother, worry-free is right, we are worried about the situation in Chu during this time, and we only want to help them get through this crisis, but we didn't expect this, and if we think about it, those people in the DPRK and China will definitely not dare to oppose it anymore!"

With such a simple reason, they didn't even think about it, they just thought about aiding the Chu State, but they forgot that they could take this opportunity to expand the territory of the Li Kingdom!

Xiao Yike also agreed with this matter, nodded and said, "I will fly the pigeon and pass the book to Your Majesty now!"

After speaking, he stood up and walked to the table not far away, Xiao Yishen also walked over, grinding for Xiao Yike, Xiao Yike dipped the pen in ink, thought for a moment, and put down the pen.

Lou Yueqing raised her eyebrows, took two steps forward, and looked at what Xiao Yike wrote, but she didn't say a word.

After Xiao Yike finished writing, rolled it up and put it in a small bamboo tube, and ordered his subordinates to send it back to Yudu, the three brothers and sisters discussed the next plan with the sheepskin map.

Compared with five years ago and five years later, the city of Xudu seems to have changed little, the same prosperity, the same solemnity, but in fact it is very different, the biggest difference is that the owner here has changed.

Tonghuatai is the tallest building in the palace, standing on the platform can have a clear view of the entire capital city, and at this time there is a figure standing on the high platform, to be exact, it is a man in a white dragon pattern brocade robe, and this person is the emperor of the current Liguo, Xiao Yiheng!

Five years have passed, Xiao Yiheng does not look old, he was originally indifferent and indifferent, because he has been in a high position for several years, adding a bit of imperial majesty and loneliness, which makes people dare not look at it directly.

Whenever he was in a depressed mood, Xiao Yiheng liked to come here to stand and see the prosperity and solemnity of the city, so he slowly calmed down, and today, he came up again.

He has been on the throne for five years, these five years to vigorously rectify the court, hard work, diligent government and love the people, he asked himself to do his best, of course, did not live up to his identity and responsibility, today's Liguo can be said to be a higher level than then, the national strength is becoming stronger and stronger, Liguo is praised that he is a good emperor, however, behind the scenes, there are still many courtiers dissatisfied with him as the emperor, so, this time he plans to send troops to aid the Chu State, the court is increasingly opposed, and even a few old ministers have died, making him very tricky.

Although he is the emperor and has the right to make decisions, as long as he gives the order, it is useless for anyone to oppose it, but after all, as the emperor, he has to take care of the overall situation, and it is inappropriate to attract hundreds of officials to oppose the people and complain, so he has a headache, it is impossible for him to stand by and watch the affairs of Chu this time, but he can't go his own way despite the opposition of so many people.

I don't know how long I stood there, but suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind me.

Xiao Yiheng came back to his senses slightly, and then heard the person behind him say respectfully: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see you!"

Xiao Yiheng's expression moved slightly, he lowered his eyes and thought about it, and said lightly: "Let him come up!"

"Yes!"

The chamberlain retreated, and not long after, there was another sound of footsteps, and a young man in a cyan robe walked over, stood behind Xiao Yiheng, waved his hands, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "The son sees his father!"

"Flat!"

"Thank you, Father!"

The young man got up, raised his head, and saw that it was a face that was somewhat similar to Xiao Yiheng, but compared to Xiao Yiheng's old age, he looked a little immature, this is Xiao Ziyu, now the prince of Liguo.

Xiao Yiheng turned around and looked at him lightly: "What's the matter?"

When he is here, he generally doesn't want to see people, everyone knows this, so if there is nothing important, Xiao Ziyu will not come to see him at this time.
