Chapter 383: Surrounded on All Sides

was playing with Dazi. After scaring people today, Dazi was in a good mood.Its previous injuries, under Feng Ming's daily care, had fully recovered. Now, An Xue Tang held raw meat and intentionally th...As they spoke, Feng Ming disregarded everything and walked up to An Xue Tang, pulling her towards the exit.

An Xuetang raised her brows, tugging him back with force. She spoke helplessly, "Brother, if you have something to say, just say it here. Yun Yi and the others and I still have very important matters to discuss, and we can't leave now."

Hearing An Xuetang emphasize the three words "very important," Feng Ming immediately stopped.

He then seemed to remember something, his expression changed, and he looked at An Xuetang seriously, asking:

"Right, didn't the Northern Border King send back any messages Could something have happened there"

An Xuetang nodded slightly, her voice tinged with anger. "Yes, Eleven told us that when Ajing returned to the capital, he was immediately controlled by the Emperor and kept in the palace."

If it's this matter, there's nothing to worry about at all. Feng Ming simply shrugged and comforted him nonchalantly:

"If it's something like this, you can rest assured, Tang. With your husband's abilities, he wouldn't be controlled by the emperor unless he wanted to be. And if that's the case, then he must have his reasons for doing so. You don't need to worry too much."

"An Xuetang pursed her lips, explaining with a heavy heart, "Besides the matter of Ajing being accused in the palace, there's something even more important and upsetting."

"What's wrong"

"Yun Si and Yun Liu brought news, the Emperor is preparing to send 500,000 troops to attack our northern border."

Feng Ming merely raised an eyebrow, but his eyes showed no surprise. His expression was as if this matter had been expected all along.

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, staring at him thoughtfully. "Brother, you don't seem surprised at all Do you think it's normal for the emperor to attack Beijang"

"That's perfectly normal."

Phoenix Ming pursed her lips and explained slowly, "I've long guessed this would be the outcome. Do you think the emperor repeatedly urged Mo Yunjing to return to the capital for nothing To put it bluntly, he just wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

In the middle of their conversation, Feng Ming suddenly let out a cold snort and continued.

"That emperor is not as foolish as you think. Don't forget that he once schemed against the previous emperor, killed him, and slaughtered all his brothers who stood in his way to the throne. Can a man like that be unintelligent While you are plotting against him, he is naturally plotting against you as well."

"First, he will lure Mo Yun Jing back to the capital, then control him. The next step is to regain control of Beijiang. All of this is within his calculations."

"He knew very well that the northern borderlands were beyond his control. He wasn't stupid, so he understood that even if he took back the military command from Mo Yunjing now, hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northern Borderlands wouldn't obey him. Therefore, the only way to recover the Northern Borderlands was by force."

Yun Yi and the others pursed their lips. Their king had mentioned this before leaving, but they always thought that with the presence of the Lan nation, the emperor wouldn't dare to take such a risk, after all, if their Beijang and the Lan nation truly joined forces, the emperor would very likely lose Ancheng and Yangcheng.

So they kept analyzing that the emperor wouldn't risk so much, but at this moment, it seems the emperor is trying to go all in.

An Xuetang sank her face and remained silent for a while, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Feng Ming:

"Brother, I suspect the Emperor's actions now indicate a possible alliance with Da Yue and Xi Liang, aiming to encircle our Northern Border."

An Xuetang had just finished speaking and before Feng Ming could say anything, a soldier outside the council camp shouted that there was an urgent message.

Several people in the camp looked at each other, and then Yun Yi asked his soldiers to bring him in.

This is a letter sent from Blue Country. Yun Yi took it from the soldier's hand and directly handed it to An Xuetang. He didn't treat An Xuetang as someone who knew nothing about the world.

An Xuetang was no longer shy at this moment, she handed it over and directly opened it to read. It was a letter written in Blue King's own handwriting.

In the letter, Blue King informed that the Dog Emperor had actually sent envoys to Blue Country to negotiate with him.

The Dog Emperor offered Blue Nation very tempting terms: as long as Blue Nation didn't get involved in the Northern Border affairs, Heavenly Domination Country would provide them with a certain amount of grain every year.

This condition is indeed a huge temptation for the Blue Country, which has been chronically short of food.

However, the Dog Emperor still underestimated the feelings between King Lan and Mo Yunjing. King Lan sending this message naturally also showed his attitude; he would never betray Mo Yunjing under any circumstances.ngdom and its princess, she could never betray her own country.So no matter how great the kindness of the North Frontier Princess was to her, she could never possibly surrender the Western Liang Kingd...
