Yao Xuan didn't dare to report Xiao Chuhan's overreaction to Le Xin Niangniang, nor did he dare to tell his daughter Yan Ji. While sending people to Xiliang to spy on intelligence, he also summoned other elders to discuss countermeasures, trying to force Xiao Chuhan to take the initiative to beg for mercy.

But how can Xiliang hide such a big move from everyone's eyes and ears? Within a few days, Yan Ji got the news.

Hearing that Xiliang had blocked the border and was preparing to start a war against God King City, Yan Ji was suddenly anxious. Regardless of Yao Xuan's freshness from outside, before she had time to change her clothes, she broke in directly.

Yao Xuan was sitting in the courtyard of Yan Ji's biological mother talking to her, preparing to let her persuade her daughter to open her eyes a little and find a good husband to be her husband. I was only halfway through the words, but I didn't expect Yan Ji to listen to them.

"Master, our daughter has been pampered since she was a child, and she grew up in the palm of your hand, how could that Xiao Chuhan bully her like this? Don't say anything about picking another husband in advance, you must be angry with your daughter! Before Yan Ji's biological mother, Mrs. Xu, finished speaking, tears fell from her eyes.

"Women have long hair and short knowledge, don't mix it up in it." Yao Xuan snorted a few times, and saw that Mrs. Xu was just wiping her tears with her mouth closed, so she had to comfort her first.

"This is a national matter, you just don't care about it for now, go and help me persuade Yan Ji first, don't have only one Xiao Chuhan in your eyes. I think it's good for the two of them to meet and cultivate their relationship. ”

Mrs. Xu nodded tearfully, and sighed again: "My hard-working daughter! How could Xiao Chuhan, who was damned by God, do such a thing? ”

"Alright, don't cry. I see that Xiliang has frequently transferred troops, and I am afraid that war will start soon. You wait and see, within a month, Xiao Chuhan will have to become my prisoner. You take good care of Yan Ji, don't let her out, don't let her run to Xiliang. Yao Xuan wanted to leave after speaking, but Yan Ji couldn't help but push the door in.

"Dad, mother, what are you talking about? What exactly did you do to Brother Han? Why is he going to war with us? ”

Yao Xuan originally wanted to hide it from her daughter, but now she heard it all, and she couldn't hide it if she wanted to.

"Yan'er, you're just in time." He glanced at Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu hurriedly took Yan Ji into her arms and hugged her tightly.

Yan Ji didn't dare to struggle for fear of hurting her mother, so she only turned her head to stare at Yao Xuan.

"Dad, my daughter is dying, hurry up and make it clear to me, what happened to Brother Han?"

Yao Xuan kept his face calm and didn't speak, Mrs. Xu touched Yan Ji's face, and just said that she wanted to persuade her daughter, but she cried first.

"Yan'er, don't be sad. Without that Xiao Chuhan, we won't be alive, can't we? Don't worry, it's just right to divorce him, and your father and mother will definitely help you find a better husband than him. ”

Yan Ji was dumbfounded when she heard this, and took advantage of Mrs. Xu's efforts to wipe her tears out of her arms, and grabbed Yao Xuan's arm.

"Dad, what the hell is going on? Why won't you tell me? Brother Han, what's wrong with him? Why did you divorce him? ”

Yao Xuan was grabbed by his daughter's arm, afraid that she would pull his beard again, so he hurriedly took two steps back and said, "It's not that my father wants to divorce him, it's that he was fascinated by that Zhao Yun'er, and he would rather start a war with my God King City than hand over the demon girl." ”

Seeing Yan Ji's eyes wide and her face full of incredulity, and her bright little face slowly distorted, Yao Xuan was also startled, and hurriedly comforted: "Yan'er, Dad only asks you, do you want the position of Princess Xiliang or Xiao Chuhan?" If you want to be a princess, your father will kill Xiao Chuhan, and you are still the princess of the new king of Xiliang; If you want Xiao Chuhan, my father will arrest him and ask him to kneel down and propose to you again. ”

Yan Ji's lips were bitten, her face was blue and white, and it took a long time before she shouted: "I said I was going to kill Zhao Yun'er, a slut, but you said that you wanted me to wait." Now that it's like this, what else do you want me to choose? I don't care, I'm going to be Brother Han's princess! ”

Yan Ji really couldn't agree to Yao Xuan's request, and now he couldn't reason with her, Yao Xuan had to pull out his arm vigorously, glanced at Mrs. Xu, and quickly slipped out.

We can't put it off any longer, or this stupid kid won't know what stupid things to do. Yao Xuan came out of the backyard and hurriedly went to gather people and arrange for people to attack Xiliang Border City.

Xiao Chuhan saw the ambition of the Divine King Hall as early as the beginning of his succession.

Yun Yao has made so many novel things, which has greatly increased Xiliang's grain production, can the old guys in the God King Hall watch him grow and develop? It was only a matter of time before he went to war with the God King City, and he had already prepared for it.

It's just that, for Yun Yao's sake, this face was torn a little early, and he wasn't completely ready.

Xiao Chuhan sat in the royal city, concentrated his elite forces on the border with the god king city, and urgently sent people to the other three states to contact while defending.

The God King City is located in the center, and it was originally an advantageous position that was very convenient for controlling the four states, but if the other three states were willing to cooperate at this time, there was no need to make any big moves, as long as there was a slight change, the God King City would have to take care of one or the other.

Xiao Chuhan was strategizing, dealing with the dissenting intentions of his ministers, and on the other hand, he had to deal with the old prince and concubine in the harem, which was quite powerless.

Although the right minister was thrown into prison, his protégés refused to be resigned, and several high-powered old guys directly sued Xiao Guangyao.

Although Xiao Guangyao passed the throne to his son, it was impossible for him to sit idly by and ignore such a major event as a war with God King City. After appeasing several old ministers, Xiao Guangyao hurriedly called Xiao Chuhan in.

As soon as the father and son met, they didn't have time to say anything homely, Xiao Guangyao asked directly to the point: "Han'er, why are you so hasty?" ”

"Father, it's not that the son is acting rashly, it's really that the persecution in the God-King City is too great."

Xiao Chuhan had already prepared for his father's intervention in this matter, and analyzed it unhurriedly when he heard the words: "The Divine King City occupies all the favorable places and people, but it never cares about the life or death of the people of my four states, and blindly exploits it harshly, and the people of Xiliang have long suffered from it. This time, Yao Xuan used his son's marriage as an excuse to blatantly raise taxes by 30%. Although the grain income has increased this winter, but the people can only barely survive, if the 30% tax is paid, I am afraid that half of the people will die of cold and starvation. ”

"Even if the son can't be the king of Xiliang, he can't use the people's life food to protect his throne."

Xiao Chuhan's words went straight to the core of the contradiction, but Xiao Guangyao was puzzled: "Why did I hear Wang Shilang say that you want to repent of your marriage for a woman, and the Great Elder used this as a threat?" ”

Xiao Chuhan was also prepared for this question. He was for Yun Yao, but even if Yun Yao didn't show up, he married Yan Ji as promised, and it was just a peace that could keep Xiliang for a few years.

Without Yun Yao, Xiliang still has to ask the Great Elder for relief every year, and the deeper his dependence on the God King City, the less status he deserves as the prince, but he is just a puppet in the hands of the Great Elder.

"Father, my son has made up his mind, and he will never be controlled by the God King City again, even if he is ruined, he will fight hard." Xiao Chuhan explained the cause and effect clearly, looked at Xiao Guangyao apologetically and said: "It doesn't matter if the son lives or dies, it's just that the father and the princess will be frightened, and the son is guilty." ”

Xiao Chuhan knelt in front of Xiao Guangyao and bowed his head silently, Xiao Guangyao pulled him up distressedly and said, "Good son, don't worry about us. I have enjoyed your blessings with your mother for so many years, and it is already enough. As long as you think about the people in your heart, not for your own selfish interests, no matter success or failure, honor or disgrace, your mother and I will bear it with you. ”

Xiao Chuhan walked to the garden, looked at Xiao Suo's palace, and was still thinking about it in his heart.

Am I rebelling against God's decree for the sake of the people?

Yes, but not only for this reason.

If the Great Elder just ordered him to raise taxes, after weighing the pros and cons, he was afraid that he would endure it. But they also had to catch Yun'er with their own hands and send it to God King City, which he would never be able to do.

Xiao Chuhan leaned against a big tree and reached out to stroke his chest and abdomen. There is also a shallow scar from the surgery. Although the wound has healed, the gap in the relationship between him and Yun Yao has not yet been healed.

Yun'er, I couldn't stand you in the past, and no matter what you do to me in the future, I will never deceive you again, hurt you, and always put you first.

Xiliang brazenly started a war, and the elite sent by the Great Elder failed to break through the border city in one fell swoop, and after a long time, the other three states were a little ready to move, and there were many rumors circulating in the God King City.

Some say that Yao Xuan withheld the disaster relief food in the four states for his own selfish interests, some said that he withheld tribute for his own enjoyment, and said that his daughter was extremely ugly and couldn't get married, so he had to force the first beautiful man in the Great Wilderness, King Xiliang, to come to marry, and people didn't agree to him and sent troops to attack Xiliang privately.

When Yao Xuan heard these rumors, he was almost so angry that he turned his back on it. Although some of this is true, it can't be spread everywhere with such fanfare, right? If the one in the palace hears it, will he still have his head?

I was afraid that I couldn't hide it, Yao Xuan thought about it again, but he carefully made up a set of rhetoric, and went to the inner garden to ask to see Lexin Niangniang.

Le Xin didn't ask him to wait long this time, and soon met him, but when he heard that he not only failed to catch Zhao Yun'er, but Xiao Chuhan also reversed, he immediately became angry.

With a wave of her sleeve, Yao Xuan, who was kneeling far away, flew over uncontrollably and was choked by her neck.

"Waste, go underground and see your old fellow." The cold slender hand tightened more and more, and Yao Xuan immediately had difficulty breathing, and his eyes were about to protrude from his sockets.

"Mother's life! The villain still has something to say......" Yao Xuan struggled desperately and squeezed out a sentence.

Le Xin threw him to the ground casually and shouted, "Say! ”

Yao Xuan gasped a few times, lay on the ground and didn't dare to move, and said carefully: "The villain knows where Zhao Yun'er is." ”

Le Xin didn't care about the war with Xiliang at all, all she wanted was Yun Yao, and she was immediately interested after listening to Yao Xuan's words.

"Go on."

"In the past, Wuku and Bai Yu failed to catch her because Xiao Chuhan sent people to make trouble, but now that he is bent on the battlefield, he will definitely not be distracted. That Zhao Yun'er is just a little village girl, without the protection of King Xiliang, as long as the villain sends someone to sneak in, won't he be caught immediately? ”
