After the guard left, Shang Yue picked up the small note and unfolded it.

There was only one sentence on it, "Shang Yuan has colluded with Yuan Anchen, be careful."

The handwriting was unlike anything he had ever seen.

The next moment, his frown slowly relaxed and his expression suddenly became gentle.

If his guess was correct, this should be the note Yan'er sent him.

Yan'er has some special abilities. She knows that Shang Yuan and Yuan Anchen are in collusion, so it's not surprising that she can send the note to him quietly.

He really wanted Nan Yan to use her ability to appear in front of him to relieve his lovesickness, but he knew that it was futile.

He sighed lightly, turned the paper in his hand into powder, and went to the yard to practice.

Nan Yan didn't know that Shang Yue already knew about the collusion between Yuan Anchen and Shang Yuan. The purpose of her sending this note was to remind Shang Yue.

Whether he believes it or not, as long as he sees this note, he will send someone to investigate. Even if he cannot find direct evidence at that time, he will find some clues.

Shang Yue knew Nan Yan's thoughts, so he sent a secret guard to investigate. The secret guard already knew about this matter, so he naturally knew which direction to pretend to investigate from.

Soon, evidence of collusion between Shang Yuan and Yuan Anchen was found.

Nan Yan, who was watching Shang Yue through the system, was dumbfounded.

It was truly astonishing that his secret guards had such a keen sense of smell and never made any mistakes in their investigation.

This is a good thing. After learning that Shang Yue knew the news, she was no longer worried. He would make the best deployment.

Now is the hottest time of the year, even the two naughty Le Xuan and Le Ci don't go out, and stay in Nan Yan's palace every day to enjoy the comfort brought by the ice.

The border was even more terrifying, it was like a fire burning the earth day after day. If you stayed outside for a while, you would melt, let alone fight.

During this period, Shang Yue encountered several assassination attempts. Except for using the same conspiracy and tricks as the last time, such assassination attempts could not hurt him at all.

After being assassinated again, Ruan Yufeng angrily slammed his hand on the table, making a dull sound. He was furious and said, "This is really too much, despicable and shameless."

He looked at Shang Yue who was intact at the top and said, "Your Majesty, we can no longer sit there and wait for death, and let them bully us like this."

Shang Yue was not angry at all and sat there calmly.

"My Lord, there is no need to be so angry. Sit down and talk slowly."

Ruan Yufeng took a few deep breaths and sat on the stool, trying to calm himself down.

Shang Yue continued, "I know what the Marquis is thinking, but Yuan Anchen is also well protected. The assassins he sent have been lost in batches. If we send someone to assassinate him, the result will be the same."

“So we can’t be like Dae Won.”

After hearing Shang Yue's words, Ruan Yufeng's rationality slowly returned, and he remembered that his suggestion of tit-for-tat was too impulsive.

Doing so would only result in the loss of batches of people as the emperor said, and would not cause any harm to Yuan Anchen.

Ruan Yufeng folded his hands and apologized, "Your Majesty is right. I was a little excited."

"My Lord is also worried about me and concerned about my safety. There is no need to apologize."

The hot summer has passed and the autumn harvest has arrived. This year the weather has been good and both Dashang and Dayuan have had a bumper harvest.

Especially in Dayuan, due to their geographical location and abundant black soil, the average yield per acre is 10 to 20 kilograms more than that of Dashang.

While the Yuan Dynasty was immersed in the joy of a great harvest, the Shang Dynasty sent troops.

The Yuan Dynasty was defeated and retreated back to Yaocheng.

Soon after, Dashang had a bumper potato harvest, and the potatoes grown by soldiers at the border and the taxes paid by the people were all sent to the border.

Although the Yuan Dynasty had abundant food and fodder, it was not as much as that of the Shang Dynasty.

Although they had spies steal dozens of kilograms of potatoes, it would take several years to plant them on a large scale. By that time, no one knew what the Yuan Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty would be like!

With abundant food and fodder and strong soldiers and horses, the Shang Dynasty now only needs to find a way to attack the Yuan Dynasty.

So half a month later, Da Shang captured Yaocheng.

Shang Yuan was both happy and unhappy when he heard the news.

The good news is that the territory of the Shang Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger, but the bad news is that Shang Yue is so lucky that he survived falling off a cliff, and several groups of assassins have failed to kill him.

Although most of the assassins were sent by Yuan Anchen, there were also some of his people mixed in among them.

Shang Yuan couldn't wait any longer, so he sent a letter to contact the Marquis of Zhenxi.

A month later, Shang Yuan and Marquis Zhenxi met up on the outskirts of the capital.

[Host, something bad has happened. Shang Yuan has come to the capital and is now in the suburbs. He is accompanied by the Marquis of Zhenxi and his 200,000 soldiers and his own 50,000 elite soldiers.]

"what?"

"Why did they come to the capital so suddenly?"

[Host, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for not paying attention.] The system's voice was full of apology.

"I don't blame you. You've been helping me keep an eye on the border."

The situation at the border has been tense recently, with wars between the Yuan Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty ongoing. She was afraid that something might happen at the border, so she kept the system paying attention to that side, but Shang Yuan's side was ignored.

Now that the Marquis of Zhenxi has arrived, their wolfish ambitions are fully revealed.

"Yinling, immediately notify Prime Minister Taifu Qianshan and Wuyou to enter the palace."

Qianshan Wuyou has always been by Shang Yue's side. He has outstanding abilities and strategies, and was specially left behind by Shang Yue to protect the safety of the capital.

There are nearly 200,000 soldiers in the capital. If they are commanded properly, there is still a chance of victory.

At this moment, Nan Yan was extremely grateful for Shang Yue's decision.

"Yes, ma'am."

Seeing Nan Yan's serious expression, Yin Ling didn't dare to delay for a moment.

Nan Yan immediately packed up and went to the imperial study to wait for them.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the four entered the palace.

The guards who delivered the message were very anxious, and their faces were very serious when the four of them arrived.

"Your Highness..." Just as they were about to bow, Nan Yan said, "Your Excellencies, there is no need to be polite. Sit down and talk."

The situation was urgent, so Nan Yan no longer cared about those empty formalities.

Stools for them to sit on had already been prepared in the imperial study.

Nan Yan's expression was extremely serious. As soon as she sat down, Nan Hui asked, "Your Majesty, why did you summon me to the palace so urgently? Did something happen?"

Nan Yan nodded, "That's right."

Just now, someone close to me reported that Prince Chen and Marquis Zhenxi were spotted outside the capital, along with a number of soldiers. I suspect they have evil intentions."

The four people's faces changed instantly, and the Grand Tutor asked solemnly: "Madam, is this news true?"

"It's true."

"Qianshan, take your men and close the four city gates immediately."

Even if the city gate is strictly guarded, Shang Yuan and his men can break in at any time with a hundred soldiers against tens of thousands of people.
