He Jingjing has always been very puzzled, although there are many conflicts between the Celestial Empire and other neighboring countries, but they always make small troubles. At worst, it did not rise to the point of planning for 40 years and once fighting.

Such a deliberate thing, even He Jingjing, who has lived for two lifetimes, thinks it is too incredible. Not to mention the neighbors and the people of the Celestial Empire who grew up in this era.

Who is behind everything?

"This matter is complicated and complicated, and we don't have a lot of key information during the period, so there is no way to speculate the ins and outs of the matter. But it's easy to say. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bought a pass.

Ye Haixuan tilted his head and pondered for a moment, then nodded, affirming His Royal Highness the Prince's statement.

He Jingjing, who didn't know much about the history of the Celestial Empire, could only look at the two of them in a daze and didn't speak.

"Although the neighbouring countries have vast land, most of the land is not cultivated. The weather is changeable, which is very unfavorable for the growth of various foods. If the wind and rain are smooth, it can still ensure basic food and clothing. If there is a drought or a flood, it will bring endless turmoil. ”

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this, He Jingjing roughly understood that the neighboring country was very similar to Russia in the previous life. Although it has a large area of land, it is bitterly cold, unsuitable for human habitation, and there is little to eat.

At present, the grain of many neighboring countries still depends on the export trade of the Celestial Empire, which makes the neighboring countries spend a lot of money on buying grain every year, and the superior people do not fancy the land of the Celestial Empire for a day or two.

"So if you can't get it, you have to grab it, and they have been secretly fighting at the border. The Turks in the north have always invaded the Celestial Empire in recent years, and there is no shortage of neighboring countries in the middle. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sighed, things in the court cannot be explained in one or two sentences, and diplomacy is even more so.

One wrong step and the whole country will be in dire straits. Although the Celestial Empire looks at the vast land, if it encounters any disaster, the displaced people will cause large-scale turmoil, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself has personally led the army to suppress it several times.

"The Celestial Empire in these years is not as peaceful as it seems. Ye Haixuan said with deep feelings, and He Jingjing was silent.

Sometimes He Jingjing feels that being born in the royal family is not good at all. This kind of badness is only more profound after I have experienced it personally. Being in the royal family is responsible for the whole country, quitting all your emotions and hiding your true thoughts.

He Jingjing hates this feeling of being bound by responsibility, but who can choose to live in the world?

"So the neighboring countries have no choice, and they can't disintegrate the Celestial Empire head-on, so they can only secretly recruit troops and send spies to the Celestial Empire, but I didn't expect the interstitial officials of the neighboring countries to be so big. ”

After He Jingjing said this, the three of them stopped talking.

The armies of neighboring countries are inferior to the Celestial Empire in overall strength, and they are inferior in equipment to the Celestial Empire. In the event of a war, the Celestial Empire also has an absolute advantage in military supplies.

But the fact that neighboring countries now dare to openly provoke the Celestial Empire shows that there must be a reason behind this that everyone has overlooked.

"When General Zhennan was here, he should have sent information to neighboring countries. Ye Haixuan's words, He Jingjing agreed very much.

"Let's think about it first, where to go. He Jingjing stretched her waist, as if she had shaken off her bad luck and sorrow.

No matter how dangerous tomorrow may be, today's days still have to go on, and it is better to plan ahead. He Jingjing didn't want to be the first victim of the war.

"Now that we have torn our faces with our neighbors, Wan Yanfei will definitely not let us go easily. His skin is thicker than the bend of the city wall, so let's leave as soon as possible. He Jingjing proposed to retreat, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Ye Haixuan looked at each other without speaking.

"I know your men's blood, but the big husband can bend and stretch. Now you still have more than 20 oil bottles, and I am a hot potato in Pingyang. You don't have a choice. He Jingjing looked at the two with a smile, and the two sighed. What He Jingjing said was the truth, the aggrieved truth.

"Announce one thing. At dinner, He Jingjing cleared her throat and said.

"I think you've also heard that the gang from the neighboring countries came to search our store today, and the whole city searched for General Ye. We and General Ye are grasshoppers on a rope, and the implication is that none of them can escape. ”

The neighboring country was looking for Ye Haixuan on the surface, but in private it was inquiring about the whereabouts of He Jingjing and others. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Pingyang, the lives of these two people are even more valuable.

"We've already torn our faces with them, and this game is dead in name. I mean to leave as soon as possible, what about your opinion?" Although He Jingjing said a question, her tone was very determined. No one refuted He Jingjing.

The group continued on the road, and along the way, the thieves acted as guides, took the path down the mountain, and prepared to return all the way to Linzhou Mansion along the road they came.

"County Lord, something is wrong ahead. Huang San led the way in front, and when he opened the grass, he found that there were torches moving.

As soon as He Jingjing heard this, she immediately became alert, and gestured to Ye Haixuan with her eyes, Ye Haixuan immediately sent a secret guard to investigate, and time passed in anxious waiting.

"General, in front of you are the armies of neighboring countries, and it looks like our hill is surrounded. ”

This is not good news, Ye Haixuan went to check it out in person, and sure enough, there were countless torches moving in all directions of this mountain. Ye Haixuan knew that his group had been exposed.

Before He Jingjing could decide whether to leave or stay, Wan Yanfei's voice came from the foot of the mountain.

"County Lord, you have come to the Longyuan Mountain Range, and I haven't invited you to tea yet. ”

He Jingjing's cold sweat was about to come down, and Ye Haixuan's hand was clenched into a fist, eager to rush up and directly cut down this neighboring lord who had a ghost against He Jingjing.

"County Lord, stop struggling, I know you can hear me. Originally, Wan Yan wanted to go up and pick up the county lord in person. How could such a dark night make the beautiful woman suffer on the mountain with a bunch of stinky men? However, the woods were dense, and Wan Yan really couldn't find the way, so he had to ask the county lord to come down by himself. ”

Wan Yanfei's meaning is very clear. They knew where He Jingjing's general location was, but they couldn't find a real hiding place. If the other party rushes up desperately, no matter how hidden the place is, it can be found.

It may not be so simple and polite then.

"County Lord, what should I do, I don't want to die. Ding trembled, and asked He Jingjing in a whisper with a handful of snot and tears.

He Jingjing sighed, looked at everyone in the dust, and felt a little guilty in her heart. After all, they were brought here by themselves, and these people suffered.

"Let's go back and ignore Yan Fei. ”
