Early the next morning, Li Wanyun took Xiao Chen around Jiuxi City. Xiao Chen found that although Jiuxi City was not big, it was very prosperous. The streets were filled with many people with foreign accents.

They are merchants and vendors from various countries on the southeastern border. It seems that the economic exchanges between the two sides are quite smooth.

At least it looks like a peaceful scene.

But the situation outside the city is different. More than ten miles away from the west gate, you can see a series of camps in the distance, where Li Wanyun's 50,000 elite soldiers are stationed.

According to Li Wanyun, all the camps within a hundred miles along the coast totaled at least 100,000 troops.

It also includes a navy of 5,000 men, but because it mainly fights in rivers, the ships are relatively small.

Li Wanyun specially brought Xiao Chen to watch the navy exercise. The two stood side by side on the shore, watching a dozen large and small ships divided into two teams and simulating a confrontation.

"Our Zhou cavalry is invincible, but the navy is relatively weak. We fought with the Han navy in the south of the Yangtze River and suffered a lot of losses." Li Wanyun was obviously not satisfied with his navy.

"I think it looks pretty good." Xiao Chen responded casually.

"Haha, it's far behind, but it should be no problem to deal with the opponent." Li Wanyun said with a smile.

"Oh." This involved military and national affairs, and Xiao Chen couldn't answer the question.

"The King of Myanmar is determined to be a traitor. Under the instigation of some young people, he has recently sent more troops to the border. As far as I know, there are currently a total of 200,000 troops assembled on the other side of the river." Li Wanyun's face showed a hint of confusion.

Worry.

"Ah? There is such a thing!" Xiao Chen was shocked when he heard this, and his chrysanthemums tightened.

Needless to say, the king of Myanmar deployed troops at the border. This is an extremely abnormal move. With the national strength of Myanmar, it is impossible for this 200,000-strong army to be stationed permanently. So does this mean that he wants to start a war?

Damn it, Li Wanjiang, are you so short-sighted? Why are you letting Concubine Liu go back to her hometown to visit relatives at this time? Isn’t this just letting the tiger go home?

It's okay for you to let this tigress return to the mountain. Why the hell do you want me to see him off?

Isn’t this asking me to give him a head?

If I think about it further, I am afraid that Li Wanjiang still wants to start a war.

Liu Ruyun is the princess of Burma, and her influence in Burma is very great. If she is used as a hostage in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the King of Burma will have concerns about taking action.

Now that Li Wanjiang has taken the initiative to send her back, why should he worry so much?

"If the war breaks out, the people on both sides of us will suffer again." Li Wanyun suddenly sighed, "Xiao Chen, the future is unpredictable here, so be careful."

"Your Majesty, do you think we must fight?" Xiao Chenxin said, Your Majesty, you are too polite. This is not an unpredictable future, but a dead end for me!

"Haha." Li Wanyun sneered.

"Then we can't send Concubine Liu back!" This was a matter of life and death, and Xiao Chen didn't care.

"Why do you still want to resist the decree?" Li Wanyun said calmly.

"I'm not a villain, I'm resisting the decree, it's this and this..." Xiao Chen's face turned red in anxiety.

"Actually, I don't want to start the war lightly, but the emperor has made up his mind, and no one can change it." Li Wanyun seemed to be muttering to himself.

"But as far as I know, the King of Myanmar is still hesitating. If someone can persuade him to withdraw his troops, then this war is not inevitable."

"Actually, he didn't want to start a war. It was their neighboring Siamese prince Seba who had been instigating it behind the scenes. This Seba was ambitious and extremely bellicose. At first, he petitioned the emperor and wanted him to make him the king of the southeast.

He annexed more than a dozen small neighboring countries, but the emperor did not agree, so he has always held a grudge in his heart."

"With the power of a country, he did not dare to provoke easily, so he coerced and lured the king of Burma to join him in sending troops. The king of Burma was firstly deeply afraid of his strength, and secondly, he was greedy for immediate interests, so he fell in love with him.

pirate ship."

"The King of Burma is cowardly and incompetent, greedy for money and unrighteous, but he is also extremely stubborn. I have sent people to warn him many times, but he turned a deaf ear and pretended to be crazy."

"My lord, what do you mean..." Xiao Chen heard some hints, but he was not sure yet.

"I don't mean anything, I'm just chatting with you casually." Li Wanyun smiled.

Can we just chat about this kind of thing?

"But the Emperor..." Xiao Chen was basically sure of Li Wanyun's meaning this time.

His meaning was contrary to the emperor's.

"The Emperor is wise and powerful, and rules the world. If any young person dares to cause trouble, he will definitely die!" Li Wanyun changed his face again.

what about me?

It seems that there is really only one way to die.

Mainly because he couldn't run away even if he wanted to. Since Li Wanyun dared to tell him the truth, he wasn't afraid of him running away...

Once we reach the other side, there will be no chance of escape.

Maybe it just clicked.

I should have known better and ran away earlier, but now it’s too late to regret it!

After thinking about it, I really can't think of any solution.

According to Li Wanyun, there was only one way to survive, and that was to persuade the Burmese king to withdraw his troops.

Xiao Chen felt that he didn't have this ability yet!

How about killing Liu Ruyun first?

Nope either.

Firstly, killing her would definitely lead to her own death, and secondly, she really couldn’t do it.

To say that Liu Ruyun was actually very good to him, even though she was using him, she even gave him her body, so what else could he do?

Moreover, on the ship, when Chen Longhu assassinated him, Liu Ruyun rarely showed his true feelings for a moment, which also touched Xiao Chen.

Besides, I don’t kill women!

Find Zhuge Xiaosheng, Ye Baiqing, Wei Yuntian, Wen Shanchang, and Xiao Ye all.

Before you die, you have to say goodbye to your brothers, right?

"Tomorrow my mother's carriage will be crossing the river, so you don't have to go with me. Later, if you are good at it, you can get some poisonous laxatives for everyone to eat. It can make people bedridden, but it can also rest.

It’ll be fine in a few days.”

"You keep these banknotes, and you divide half of them. You guys are all rich now... Find an opportunity to distribute the remaining half to the poor people. It can also be considered as a way to accumulate some virtue for me, the boss."

"Xiao Ye will be left to you. You must take good care of him."

"If you can still work in the palace in the future, try your best to protect the queen and the imperial concubine. They are both good people."

"Oh, by the way, there is also that old man Chen Jisheng. You have to take good care of him for me too."

"How can I, Xiao Chen, be so virtuous? This life is not long enough to have good brothers like you. We will still be brothers in the next life!"

Several people were stunned when they heard this, "Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Do you have a fever, or are you crazy? Otherwise, why are you talking nonsense?

Why are you telling me about your funeral after all?

But boss, you have a rosy complexion and bright eyes. It doesn’t look like you are crazy. Even if you are crazy, why can’t Wen Shanchang cure you?

"Boss, we don't understand what you are saying." Zhuge Xiaosheng said, "What happened?"

"Boss, please don't scare us!" Wei Yuntian was really frightened. He had never seen the boss so emotional before.

It can be seen that something bad is going on.
