"Rinchuan, there's a letter from the border."

Mo Xinchen handed the letter in his hand to Xiao Linchuan, his expression more solemn than ever before.

Xiao Linchuan took the letter and opened it. His expression became uglier and uglier. He then raised his head and looked at Mo Xinchen, "What's going on? Didn't we agree that it was just a minor incident? Why is the situation so tense all of a sudden?"

"It seems that someone from Dazhao is secretly trying to sow discord. You just happened to have stayed in Mingzhen for the past few years. I guess they felt there was no threat, so they started to make moves."

Mo Xinchen expressed his guess. Originally, Xiao Linchuan planned to let Dazhao pretend to cause trouble, and then Xiao Ting would go to negotiate. By the way, he could also throw this annoying guy away and keep a distance from Shen Moyu.

It was a good idea, but he forgot that he was not in Dazhao for a long time. Although he had deterrent power, he would inevitably relax over time.

In addition, Xiao Linchuan's people have always been in Mingzhen, and everything in Dazhao is done by messenger. Over time, many things are out of control. For example, the current result is something they did not expect.

"Asshole, do you want to die?"

Xiao Linchuan crumpled the letter in his hand and threw it on the ground, "I handed Dazhao over to him, not to let him do this, Chonglou!"

"My subordinate is here!"

Chonglou walked out from the darkness. When he saw the letter thrown on the ground by Xiao Linchuan, his face changed for a moment, but soon returned to normal. "Master, what do you want?"

"Go tell Gu Wei that if he can't learn how to be a regent, I don't mind pulling him down and replacing him with someone else!"

Xiao Linchuan's words were a clear threat, and Chonglou looked embarrassed, "Master, you know the prince's temper. Unless you show up in person, no one can persuade him."

"So now even my words are useless?"

Xiao Linchuan was so angry that his face turned black, and he looked at Chonglou with displeasure, "Chonglou, I asked you to pass on a message, not to teach me how to do things!"

"This subordinate deserves death. Please punish me, Master."

Chonglou knew that what he had just said was beyond the pale, but he had no choice. Over the years, they had tried countless ways to get Xiao Linchuan to return to Dazhao.

But Xiao Linchuan just didn't want to go back. They had done everything they should do, and they really didn't know what to do.

Therefore, Gu Wei probably wanted to use this incident to threaten Xiao Linchuan on purpose this time, hoping to force him to choose to return to Dazhao in desperation.

"Rinchuan, actually..."

Mo Xinchen stood up, swallowed his saliva and said bluntly, "Actually, what they said is not wrong. You really shouldn't continue to stay in Mingzhen. I think Prince Gu Wei has his reasons for doing this. Why don't you go back and take a look?"

Gu Wei ordered the troops stationed at the border between Mingzhen and Dazhao to advance one zhang a day. At this rate, they would soon be able to advance further and invade Mingzhen's territory.

By then, the Mo family army stationed on the Mingzhi border will definitely not sit and wait for death. By that time, it will not be as easy as it is now.

Neither he nor Xiao Linchuan wanted to see the Dazhao army and the Mo family army confront each other and kill each other, because if so, it would also affect Xiao Linchuan's plan.

"Achen, why do you have to force me? You know exactly why I stayed here."

Xiao Linchuan's face was full of pain. "If I leave now, all the efforts I have made before will be wasted."

"Rinchuan, believe me, I can convince Yoyo. You can go back to Dazhao first. Once things are stable there, you can come back anytime you want. And who knows, if you leave, Yoyo might miss you and come to her senses?"

Mo Xinchen tried his best to persuade Xiao Linchuan, but he didn't buy it at all. "You don't need to persuade me like this. Whatever Gu Wei wants to do is his business. As for whether I can stop him, that's my business."

"Rinchuan, what are you going to do!?"

Mo Xinchen had a bad feeling. He felt that Xiao Linchuan was totally irrational at the moment and forcing a decision would only result in a lose-lose situation.

"Chonglou, go and bring Xuan'er here."

Xiao Linchuan's eyes were dark. "No one can stop me from doing something I don't want to do, even if that person is Gu Wei."

"Yes, my subordinate, go right away!"

Although Chonglou didn't know what his master wanted the Fourth Princess to do, he could tell from his and Mo Xinchen's words how dangerous the situation on the border was.

"You are crazy!"

As soon as Chonglou left, Mo Xinchen couldn't help himself and pushed Xiao Linchuan forward, "What do you want to do to Xuan'er?"

"Achen, Xuan'er is from the Dazhao royal family. Since Gu Weiyi insists on having her own way, I will let her marry into the Dazhao royal family. What I can't do, let Xuan'er do it!"

Xiao Linchuan was caught off guard and was pushed by Mo Xinchen. He almost stumbled and fell to the ground, but the sarcasm in his eyes made Mo Xinchen feel a little hurt. "I know you like her, right?"

"Yes, I like her!"

Mo Xinchen admitted it without thinking, but then he yelled at Xiao Linchuan.

"But so what? Xiao Linchuan, what does this have to do with whether I like her or not? You knew that she and Gu Wei were siblings, so why did you let her marry into the Dazhao royal family?"

"If I don't marry him, there's no way to truly control Gu Wei. With Xuan'er around, he at least knows how to restrain himself. Besides, it's not like I'm really marrying him. I'm just letting Xuan'er go back and restrain Gu Wei. In this way, even if the enemy is at the gates, Gu Wei won't dare to act rashly!"

Xiao Linchuan also loudly refuted Mo Xinchen, "Don't forget, Xuan'er and I are the real blood relatives, would I hurt her? She has the Dazhao military token in her hand. If Gu Wei really wants to do something irreversible, Xuan'er's military power is enough to make him stop."

"Yes, you really won't hurt her, but Rinchuan, do you know what you have become now?"

Mo Xinchen didn't feel happy at all when he heard this. Instead, the irony on his face became even stronger. "You didn't harm Xuan'er, but does what you did count as hurting her?"

"Mo Xinchen, I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"

Xiao Linchuan had made up his mind at this moment, and no matter what he said, it was useless. Besides, Chonglou was very fast and brought Xiao Xuan, who had just returned to the palace, to them.

"Little Uncle, Mo Xinchen, why do you two look so weird? Did you have a fight?"

Xiao Xuan could tell at a glance that something was wrong with the two of them, and the cold atmosphere made her feel a little uneasy.

"Xuan'er, Gu Wei ordered the Dazhao army to move one zhang closer to the Mingzhen border every day. What do you think?"

Xiao Linchuan spoke first, and Xiao Xuan's eyes widened as soon as he spoke, "Little uncle, are you kidding?"

"I'm serious, Xuan'er, you know, the border between Dazhao and Mingzhen is closely connected, and the distance between them is only a hundred feet. If Gu Wei orders the Dazhao army to do this, within a hundred days, the two countries will be at war!"
