On the contrary, it distracted some attention from the assassination of the Emperor of Min. Who made him have an indestructible image in everyone's mind? He was just a young man and couldn't hurt him and couldn't affect the situation. Why should he care?

The Emperor of Min didn't care whether this was a frame-up or whether the Meng State was really confident. He just wanted to seize this excuse to attack the Meng State and strike first.

He doesn't care what is going on between Meng and Yu. The situation has changed. Now Meng is Min's biggest enemy and the biggest hidden danger in the world.

When necessary, it is not impossible for Min and Yu to cooperate to deal with the enemy. After all, the relationship between the two countries has never really been deadlocked, and there is always a certain amount of face-saving maintenance.

Therefore, Xuan Ziqing received a handwritten letter from the Emperor of the Min Kingdom. He did not say secret words, but the other party used polite empty words and made it clear that he wanted to cooperate with the Yu Kingdom.

Holding the letter, Xuan Ziqing frowned slightly, looked at Mu Ling'er who was sitting next to him, and whispered: "Aling, Min Guo's overtures, may Yu Guo accept it?"

Mu Ling'er, who was cleaning his sword, paused, thought about it carefully, and replied: "Yes!"

With that said, Mu Ling'er put down his sword and took the letter from Xuan Ziqing, "Min and Meng are both tigers and wolves to Yu, but they would rather conspire with a tiger that still has reason than let go of that tiger. Crazy wolf.”

"When fighting a tiger, no matter what, it depends on each person's ability. But if you miss the opportunity to kill the wolf, you will have endless troubles and bring disaster to the people."

Xuan Ziqing nodded, yes, although the Min State was domineering and strong, it always showed its true strength on the battlefield, while the Meng State was much despicable. Once a war started, there was no guarantee that they would not use all means to force the Yu State to give in.

After thinking about it, Xuan Ziqing immediately wrote back to the Emperor Min. He was also a neat man and gave him warm words.

In this way, the two emperors reached a consensus as quickly as possible, and Min's army also moved at the same time.

When the Min Kingdom's military deployment changed, Emperor Meng was discussing important matters with a group of confidants in the palace. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out who assassinated the Min Kingdom Emperor, and he almost fell into a passive position.

But no matter who it is, they can't change the fact that Min State is about to send troops to attack Meng State. If Meng State wants to regain the initiative, it must advance to the border of Yu State.

Don't give the two countries a chance to unite and attack Meng from both sides. After all, Meng has "magic power" at its disposal and can completely defeat Yu in less than a day.

Li Xiaoji stayed by the emperor's side, listening to him discuss various details with everyone. His expression remained unchanged, and he had no intention of talking too much. He only took on the responsibility of serving tea and water.

Occasionally, when the Emperor of Meng asked him, he would say a word or two, but would not go beyond the limit. His low-key behavior made some ministers who were unhappy with his presence here feel better.

The situation is getting more and more tense. Countries are on guard against each other, with most of their eyes on Min, Meng and Yu, trying to see where the war will start.

But one early morning, something strange happened in the south. To everyone's surprise, the first fire was lit in the south, which they thought would rely on natural barriers to avoid participating in the dispute.

While everyone's attention was focused on the north and west, the enemy country of Xi State launched a night attack on a small but strategically important city on the border of Xi State, officially sounding the clarion call for war.

The world can't help but focus on the south. Are these countries that have always been unable to shrink finally come to get involved?

The flames of war in Xi State obviously disrupted the pace of some big countries, but invisibly gave Meng State more time to adjust.

Without waiting for Min Guo and others to respond, the war in the south was completely ablaze. One place was ablaze, and the other was unwilling to be outdone, and naturally it turned into a pot of porridge.

The horns of war sounded in various southern countries, and even the central part of the country was affected. There was no way, people everywhere were going crazy because of the leaked weapons blueprints.

Even if there is a stable monarch who works hard to maintain order and is unwilling to get involved in a war prematurely, it cannot stop people's ambitions from running rampant. The temptation of that chair is too great, and everyone wants to take it.

The world is about to re-set the chess game, and the winner will be decided in the chaos. Whoever wins in the end will be the master of the world. Today, he is as humble as dust, but tomorrow he will be wearing a dragon robe and his name will be immortal.

In such an environment, who would be willing to do nothing, watch others rise, and stay where they are?

But what is strange is that the country of Min, which is most promising to win the world, has not moved yet, and the emperor of Min just continues to attack the emperor of Meng, without any pain or complaint, and does not even submit a letter of challenge.

This was inconsistent with his usual style, which made people wonder what was going on. Could it be that Min Guo had hidden some magic weapon and was confident that he could hold his own in a chaotic situation, so he was so calm?

Only Emperor Meng understood that the other party was not immobile, but waiting for an opportunity. This put a lot of pressure on him and decided to speed up the pace and send some troops to contain Yu Guo's movements.

I was mentally prepared to face off against Min and Yu all at once. If that didn't work out, I would let Min and Yu disappear in the fire together, and have fun!

But when Emperor Meng had just given the order, Li Xiaoji, who came to the palace to ask for an audience, suggested that he go on a personal expedition to boost morale and give Yu a severe blow.

"..." Emperor Meng frowned and looked at Li Xiaoji displeased. He just said that he had been stabbed and that his old problem had relapsed, and then he led the troops to fight in high spirits. Didn't he slap himself in the face?

Li Xiaoji smiled and said: "This will better highlight how angry His Majesty is about Yu State sending people to assassinate him, and how brave he is. Even if he is unwell, he can still lead his troops to defeat Yu State."

Emperor Meng's brows softened a little. Seeing this, Li Xiaoji took another dose of strong medicine, "Your Majesty has endured until now, and has tasted the feeling of suffocation. No one knows the pain in his heart."

"Now that the old and new grudges are about to be settled, don't you want to see with your own eyes the panic and helplessness of the major countries that once trampled the Meng country under their feet?"

"The happiest thing in life is to dance and celebrate in front of the corpses of your enemies. I am a humble minister, but I am willing to perform a dance to cheer up your majesty when he gets what he wants!"

After imagining that scene, Emperor Meng was really tempted. He glanced at Li Xiaoji, and although he did not give any definite words, he was already mentally prepared for the imperial conquest.

But when the prince found out about it, he succeeded in making him lose his composure. He barged into the study regardless and sternly warned Emperor Meng to think twice.

"Father, a gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall. There are so many generals and talents available in the court. If just one of them comes out, he can deal a heavy blow to the Yu Kingdom. Why does the father need to go into battle in person?"

The clothes were obviously different from the past, and the details were more noble. The prince frowned and looked ugly, but even so, he did not forget the etiquette and bent slightly to speak.

Emperor Meng looked at the prince who looked more and more like him. He should have felt relieved but for some reason he felt a little unhappy. The prince's growth meant that he was getting older. Who could stop the fear of losing his youth?

Therefore, even though he knew that the prince was worried about his safety and had no objection, Emperor Meng still took the opportunity to reprimand him and ordered him to return to the East Palace to face the wall and reflect.

But the prince, who had always been obedient and considerate, had no intention of retreating. Instead, he insisted on his request and said: "Father, if you really want to use this method to boost the morale of the army, then you might as well send your subordinates to fight!"

"The son is the crown prince of Meng, the legitimate son of his father. Having the son lead the army on behalf of his father can also frighten the enemy and boost the morale of one's own side."

"And in this way, my father can rest in peace in the palace to recuperate his health and take care of the overall situation, so as not to let some big rats disrupt the country's foundation and shake up the society."

After saying this, the prince looked at Emperor Meng with a determined look, as if he would be wasting his time if he didn't agree.
