In the early morning of the next day, Li Wanyun took Xiao Chen around Jiuxi City. Xiao Chen found that although Jiuxi City was not big, it was very prosperous. The street market was full of people with foreign accents. They are merchants and hawkers from countries along the southeastern border. It seems that the economic exchanges between the two sides are quite smooth.

At least it looks like a peaceful scene.

But the situation outside the city is different, more than ten miles away from the west gate, you can see a stretch of camps in the distance, where Li Wanyun's 50,000 elite soldiers are stationed.

According to Li Wanyun, there are at least 100,000 soldiers in all the camps along the coast for hundreds of miles.

It also includes a navy with a size of 5,000 people, but because it mainly fights in rivers, the ships are relatively small.

Li Wanyun specially brought Xiao Chen to watch the naval exercise, the two stood side by side on the shore, watching a dozen ships of various sizes divided into two teams, simulating confrontation.

"Our Da Zhou cavalry is invincible in the world, but the navy is relatively weak. We suffered a lot from the battle with the Da Han navy in the south of the Yangtze River." Li Wanyun was obviously not satisfied with his navy.

"It looks pretty good to me." Xiao Chen responded casually.

"Hehe, it's a long way off, but it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the opponent." Li Wanyun laughed.

"Oh." This involves important military and national affairs, and Xiao Chen is not easy to answer.

"The king of Burma is not dead. Under the instigation of some young people, he has recently increased his troops to the border one after another. As far as I know, a total of 200,000 troops have been assembled on the other side of the river." Li Wanyun's face showed a trace. Worry.

"Ah? There is such a thing!" Xiao Chen was taken aback when he heard the words, and Chrysanthemum became tighter.

It goes without saying that the king of Burma is stationing troops at the border. This is an extremely abnormal move. With the national strength of his Burmese country, it is impossible for this 200,000-strong army to be permanently stationed. Does this mean that war is about to start?

Damn Li Wanjiang, are you short-hearted? Why did Concubine Liu Gui go back to her hometown to visit her relatives at this time? Isn't this letting the tiger go back to the mountain!

It's okay for you to let this tigress go back to the mountain, why the fuck did you ask me to send him off?

Isn't this asking me to give the head away!

Thinking about it one more level, I'm afraid Li Wanjiang still wants to start a war.

Liu Ruyun is the princess of the Burmese country, and has great influence in the Burmese country. If she is taken as a hostage in Dazhou, the Burmese king may have concerns about doing it.

Now that Li Wanjiang took the initiative to send her back, why is he still worried?

"If the war breaks out, the common people on both sides will suffer again." Li Wanyun sighed suddenly, "Xiao Chen, the future is unpredictable, you should take care of yourself."

"My lord thinks we must fight?" Xiao Chen said in his heart, lord, you are too polite, this trip is not an unpredictable future, but a dead end, ah me!

"Hehe." Li Wanyun sneered.

"Then we can't send Concubine Liu Gui back!" This is a matter of life and death, Xiao Chen doesn't care about it.

"Why do you still want to resist the edict?" Li Wanyun said lightly.

"It's not a villain I'm resisting, it's this..." Xiao Chen blushed anxiously.

"Actually, I don't want to start the war lightly. It's just that the emperor has made up his mind, and no one can change that." Li Wanyun seemed to be muttering to himself.

"However, as far as I know, King Myanmar is still hesitating. If someone can persuade him to withdraw, then this battle is not inevitable."

"Actually, he didn't want to go to war. It was their neighboring Siamese prince Seba who had been instigating behind the scenes. This Saiba was ambitious and extremely belligerent. Back then, he went to the emperor and wanted him to be the king of the southeast. Annexing more than a dozen small neighboring countries, the emperor did not agree, so he has always held a grudge in his heart."

"With the strength of his country, he didn't dare to provoke easily, so he threatened and lured the king of Myanmar to join him in sending troops. On the one hand, the king of Myanmar was deeply afraid of his strength, and on the other hand, he was also greedy for immediate benefits, so he fell in love with him. pirate ship."

"The king of Myanmar is cowardly and incompetent, greedy for money and ungrateful, but also extremely stubborn. I sent people to warn him many times, but he turned a deaf ear to me and pretended to be crazy."

"My lord, what do you mean..." Xiao Chen could hear some signs, but he was still not sure.

"I don't mean anything, I'm just chatting casually with you." Li Wanyun smiled.

Can you chat about this kind of thing!

"But the emperor..." Xiao Chen was basically sure of what Li Wanyun meant this time.

What he meant was contrary to what the emperor meant.

"Your majesty is wise and powerful, and he rules the world. If anyone of the younger generation dares to make trouble, it will be a dead end!" Li Wanyun changed his face again.

what about me?

It seems that there is really only one dead end.

The main reason is that anyone who wants to run away can't run away. Since Li Wanyun dared to tell him the truth, he is not afraid of him running away...

I'm afraid there will be no chance of escaping when we reach the other side.

Maybe it just clicked right away.

Damn, I knew I'd run away earlier, but it's too late to regret it now!

After thinking about it, I really can't think of any countermeasures.

According to Li Wanyun, there is only one way to survive, and that is to persuade the king of Burma to withdraw his troops.

Xiao Chen felt that he didn't have this ability yet!

Or kill Liu Ruyun first?

It doesn't work either.

Firstly, killing her would also mean death, and secondly, she really couldn't do it.

To say that Liu Ruyun was actually very good to him, even though he was using him, but he gave him his body, so what else?

And on the boat, when Chen Longhu assassinated him, Liu Ruyun's rare expression of true feelings touched Xiao Chen quite a bit.

Besides, I don't kill women!

Find Zhuge Xiaosheng, Ye Baiqing, Wei Yuntian, Wen Shanchang, and Xiao Ye all.

Before you die, you have to say goodbye to your brothers, right?

"My lady's frame is going to cross the river tomorrow, so you don't have to go with it. Later, you can get some poison and laxatives for the big guys to eat. It can make people bedridden, but rest It’ll be fine for a few days.”

"You keep these banknotes, half of them are divided among you, and you guys are all rich now... Let's find a chance to distribute the remaining half to the poor people. It can be regarded as accumulating some virtue for the boss."

"Xiao Ye will be handed over to you, you must take good care of him."

"If you can still work in the palace in the future, try your best to protect the empress and imperial concubine, both of them are good people."

"Oh, by the way, and that old man Chen Jisheng, you have to take good care of him for me too."

"How can I, Xiao Chen, have any virtue? This life is not long enough to have good brothers like you, and we will still be brothers in the next life!"

The few people were dumbfounded, Boss, are you swollen?

Do you have a fever, or are you crazy? Otherwise why are you talking nonsense.

Okay, why did you tell me about the funeral?

But Boss, you have a ruddy complexion and bright eyes, you don't look like you're crazy, even if you're crazy, what's wrong with Wen Shanchang who can't cure you?

"Boss, we don't understand what you said." Zhuge Xiaosheng said, "What happened?"

"Boss, don't scare us!" Wei Yuntian was really frightened, he had never seen the boss so emotional.

It can be seen that something is wrong.
