If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

After that day, Situ Yidong secretly deployed troops and made various arrangements before the expedition. Liuzhou Prefecture did not have many soldiers, and nearly a thousand people were transferred to Chen's team. Sufficient patrol personnel had to be reserved, so the maximum number of people that Situ Yidong could take away was less than 3,000.

Although the military camp had undergone reforms in recent years and almost all adults had training experience, Situ Yidun felt that it was Liuzhou Prefecture's last trump card and should not be easily reused unless necessary.

At this time in the capital of Haoyue, the leaders of the four major families also gathered in the imperial study to discuss this issue.

"Have the spies sent to the hidden country sent back any news? Old man Situ, please tell us in detail what the current situation is?" After Wang Huang glanced at everyone present, he finally set his sights on the old patriarch Situ.

As Wang Huang finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Situ and his son.

"I just received news from the spies," the old head of the Situ family glanced at the head of the Situ family who was sitting next to him, rubbed the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and spoke.

People who are familiar with him know that whenever he makes this move, he is in a difficult situation, so this time...

Patriarch Chu and Patriarch Feng looked at each other and quietly straightened their bodies that were leaning back on the chairs.

"What? Is it tricky this time?" asked the old master Chu in a deep voice. Having experienced the changes of dynasties, there are very few things that can make them change their expressions now. However, if you listen carefully from the tone of their voice, you can still hear a slight difference.

Patriarch Situ smacked his lips secretly and said, "It's a little tricky. Do you know what they are good at?"

Facing everyone's puzzled gazes, Patriarch Situ gave the answer: "Poison!"

"Because they are located on the back of the endless mountains in Liuzhou Prefecture, the climate is humid and there are many poisonous insects. The people of Yin Country and various tribes have concentrated all their strength on their temple to develop methods to deal with poisonous insects. Over time, the temple has really achieved some success, especially the saints of each generation, who are both masters of medicine and poison."

The atmosphere in the imperial study fell silent as the old patriarch Situ spoke. In terms of strength, although Haoyue had only been established for more than 20 years, and had been gradually dealing with some small border countries over the years, the national strength had not yet recovered to its heyday.

But after more than ten years of recuperation, especially in the three or four years after Meixiang's ordeal, under her leadership, Haoyue's economy and people's livelihood have made great progress, and coping with one or two wars is no problem.

The premise is a conventional war. If you encounter some countries that do not play by the rules, such as the hidden country that used poison this time, it will still cause considerable trouble.

"Can you find out what kind of poison it is?" Wang Huang looked at the old master Situ and asked again.

As Patriarch Situ shook his head, the atmosphere fell silent again.

At this time, the head of the Situ family spoke up to break the atmosphere at the scene: "But there is good news. According to the spies, the old saint of the temple is seriously ill and bedridden. The current Soma is not a real saint, and has only a superficial understanding of the application of poisons and is not proficient in it."

"How do you say this?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes were focused on one person again. The head of the Situ family had bright eyes, and he was eager to try: "Since Xiang girl and her daughter settled in Liuzhou Prefecture, I have focused on studying the surrounding situation."

"As far as I know, the beliefs of the Yin Kingdom are very different from those of our Haoyue Dynasty. The Temple is their spiritual leader, and the Saint who inherited the Temple leads the entire temple. Brother Situ, is that right?" The head of the Chu family interjected.

"That's right. All the saints in the past came from the Hidden Country and various tribes, but for some reason, the saint of this year has not been selected yet."

"What about the Saint now?"

"In principle, she is not a true saint because she has never been recognized by the temple and has not received inheritance. This is why I say it is good news. This is also the reason why the eldest prince of the Hidden Country was able to persuade Soma to join him in the war."

"The king and elders of the Yin Kingdom are sick at the same time..." The head of the Feng family, who had been listening silently on the side, suddenly had an idea and suddenly interrupted and asked.

Everyone in the room was shocked when they heard the words. They looked at each other and became certain in their hearts. If it was true as what the head of the Feng family said, then there would be more possibilities and variables in this war. At the same time, wasn't this also the time to defeat them completely?

The atmosphere in the room was easily lightened. At this time, Wang Huang glanced at the emperor and saw him nod slightly. Then he began to arrange the following matters, "Please ask Minister Situ to send someone to investigate this matter in detail."

Then he turned his gaze to the father and son of Patriarch Feng: "I will leave the food and medicine to Lord Feng."

Patriarch Situ and his son and Patriarch Feng and his son nodded at the same time.

"Then let's do some divination after we go back." Patriarch Chu said with a smile as he looked at everyone.

Ever since he drank the medicine according to the prescription sent by Meixiang, and with Mrs. Chu giving birth to twin grandsons, the old master Chu's complexion has recovered a lot.

"There is no rush for divination. You just need to observe and pay attention to it on weekdays. Your health is the most important." Wang Huang earnestly reminded him. After seeing the old Patriarch Chu nodded in agreement, he continued, "The most important thing now is to send troops as soon as possible and find out who will lead the army."

The words of the Five Emperors struck a chord with everyone. The capital was thousands of miles away from Liuzhou Prefecture, and even at a fast march it would take nearly half a month to get there, not to mention any special circumstances that might delay the journey.

What they are most worried about is that if the Yin Kingdom really sends troops, the nearest Liuzhou Prefecture will bear the brunt of the attack. The several thousand soldiers in the prefecture will not be enough to deal with the other side. The outstanding descendants of the third generation of Haoyue are almost all on the front line, and with the personalities of those children, they will definitely rush to the front instead of retreating behind others. This is what they are most worried about now.

Seeing the excited expression of the head of the Situ family, Wang Huang knew what he was thinking. He looked at him and snorted coldly: "Situ boy, don't get involved in this matter. The capital needs you to be in charge."

"It's enough to have you and your uncles and brothers in charge of the capital." The head of the Situ family instinctively retorted. He has always been curious about Liuzhou Prefecture and the legendary Hidden Kingdom and the Holy Temple. It's a rare opportunity like this, and he doesn't want to give it up. As for the "poison", he also wants to go and meet it in person. He really doesn't feel at ease if someone else goes.

Upon hearing this, Wang Huang snorted again, "Don't forget that the west has been very peaceful recently. If they also take the opportunity to start a war at the same time, we will be in big trouble."

Hearing this, the head of the Situ family suddenly wilted.
