"A bunch of bastards actually want to frame me, fortunately I'm smart." Sun Zhongcai thought with a proud look in the sedan chair.

Although he was born as a military general, Sun Zhongcai was quite fond of sedan chairs. He only sat in sedan chairs when he went out, rather than riding horses or carriages like others.

At this time, Sun Zhongcai was secretly proud of the previous incident in the imperial study room. He believed that he would be completely firm in his position when dealing with the danger of Yang Yu Pass this time. In the future, it would be difficult for anyone to shake his position in Qi Feng's heart.

"But why didn't I receive any news before? How did the Nanping Army arrive at Yangyu Pass? It can't be descending from the sky."

Sun Zhongcai was still confused about this matter. Although he had just admitted that he was negligent in the imperial study room, it was just a way to retreat to advance. At that time, even if he said that he attached great importance to the border, no one would believe it, and it would even attract more ridicule.

But in fact, Sun Zhongcai attached great importance to the border in the direction of Nanping. First, it was out of public interest. He was also worried about the retaliatory attacks of Nanping. As for the second reason, it was out of selfishness. His current position was to replace Peng Chuan. Although Qi Feng and the ministers in the court all believed that Peng Chuan had mostly surrendered to Nanping, Sun Zhongcai also had the same idea, but as long as this matter was not confirmed, Sun Zhongcai could not completely let go. He was worried that Peng Chuan and others would come back, and then his position might not be so stable.

Therefore, Sun Zhongcai has always attached great importance to the direction of the border. Under such circumstances, if the Nanping Army was mobilized on a large scale, he would not have known it.

He had never understood the attack on Yangyu Pass, but the memorial was not fake. In fact, there was more than one memorial to ask for help from Yangyu Pass, and he did not believe that the guards of Yangyu Pass would risk the crime of deceiving the emperor to report on military affairs. Moreover, it was such a major military situation, which was a beheaded.

"What's going on?" Sun Zhongcai thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

"Maybe the people I sent to stare at the border were careless." Finally, Sun Zhong thought of a possibility: "Peng Chuan came from the border, but they were not able to discover it. It is not impossible to neglect the military mobilization of Nanping Country."

"I have told them to keep an eye on these bastards, but they even made such a big mistake for me. If I hadn't been smart, I would have been dismissed by His Majesty just now." Sun Zhongcai was angry. He had decided that those bastards would punish them severely!

Linshui City is not too far from Shuiyue Kingdom. After the flight messenger flew out, the sun had not yet set, and it landed in the palace of Shuiyue Kingdom.

There is a special palace in the imperial palace of Shuiyue Kingdom. There are also many eunuchs and palace maids serving them, but the owner here is not a human, but various flight messengers. In this world without telephone and internet, the fastest way to contact the long distance is naturally through flight messengers. It can be said that the royal family of each country has a large number of flight messengers, especially big countries like Shuiyue Kingdom, with Liao Kingdoms, and many vassal states. They not only need to contact all parties in their territory, but also keep in touch with their own vassal states to enhance their leadership.

Therefore, there are many flying messengers in the palace of Shuiyue Kingdom, and even a large number of eunuchs and palace maids serving here. There are many flying messengers flying out from here at any time, and there are also many flying messengers flying here.

As soon as the flight messenger fell, an eunuch trotted over and took down the letter from the flight messenger's leg. Seeing the tag that belonged to the royal family of the Black Water Kingdom, he took it and trotted away.

Soon, the letter from the royal family of the Hei Shui Kingdom fell into the hands of Yelu Zong, the emperor of the Shuiyue Kingdom.

Yelu Zong is 45 years old. Compared with the old emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom, he has a huge age advantage. He was young and strong and energetic. He was 1.9 meters tall, tall, burly and strong. He joined the army for many years in his early years and had rich experience in combat and command. On the battlefield, he was a powerful general. After becoming the emperor, he was also a relatively strong emperor.

Of course, the strength of Shuiyue Kingdom is enough to give him the confidence to be strong.

Yelu Zong quickly finished reading the secret letter sent by Qi Feng, frowned unconsciously, and muttered to himself: "How could it be such a coincidence? Why did the Nanping Kingdom launch an attack at this time?"

Regarding the emperor of the Hei Shui Kingdom, Yelu Zong’s impression was: he was capable, but he was irritable and suspicious, and often he was stubborn and self-willed.

Yelu Zong was somewhat suspicious of the authenticity of this letter, because he had just asked the Hei Shui Kingdom to send troops to help him not long ago. He also knew that Qi Feng was unwilling to do so, but with the strength of the Hei Shui Kingdom, Qi Feng did not have the courage and confidence to force himself to refuse his orders. In this case, it is entirely possible to think of an excuse to refuse to send troops.

But Yelu Zong was just suspicious and did not conclude that Qi Feng was really lying, because Nanping Kingdom had indeed had the possibility of attacking Hei Shui Kingdom recently.

Thinking of this, Yelu Zong asked the eunuch to call out several ministers to ask their opinions.

"Your Majesty, I think the content of this letter may not be true."

"I also think so. Not long ago, the emperor of the Black Water Kingdom left in anger from our Shuiyue Kingdom, and soon we asked them to send troops. They now have not many troops in their country. In this case, he is very likely to fabricate a reason to swear us."

"If this is true, then he is really hateful!"

"I think this is not necessarily false. There are already deep grudges between Nanping and Heishui Kingdoms. Now the Heishui Kingdom is in a weak period. It is entirely possible for Nanping to send troops to attack Heishui Kingdom."

"The Wei Minister..."

The ministers who were called expressed their opinions, but their opinions were not exactly the same. Some believed it and some did not believe it, which made it even more difficult for Yelu Zong to make up his mind.

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to trust this matter." At this time, Yelu Tangzhi spoke.

Yelu Tangzhi was a member of the royal family, but he had a far-reaching relationship with Yelu Zong and belonged to that kind of distant relative. However, Yelu Zong trusted him very much and allowed him to participate in court affairs. He even had a high status and prestige in the court.
