Chapter 1967: A Fire
In the royal palace of the Longyan Kingdom, the old emperor sat in the royal study and frowned when he saw the morial on the table. In front of him were the crown prince and several ministers.
“Emperor, what does this Aduo Chai Kingdom an? A few years ago, they had just married the Ninth Princess to their king as his princess consort to maintain the good relations between the two countries. Now, do they want to destroy this peace? They actually allied with the Black Cloud Nation and gathered troops at the border of our country. Are they planning to attack?” An official said angrily.
“But the most infuriating thing should be the most shaless Black Clouds Country, right?” Pri Minister Chen was also furious.” The princess of the Guguo has just stepped into the Black Clouds Kingdom, and they are already gathering troops at the border. What are they trying to do? Are they trying to attack our dynasty?”
” Weird. Didn’t they say that the Emperor of the Black Clouds Kingdom was seriously ill and his life was in danger?” Soone asked doubtfully,” But why are they still thinking of attacking our dynasty at this mont?”
“Yes, yes, that’s right. Previously, when the rumours spread all over the world, they said that the princess of Guguo had betrayed her promise and made the world laugh at her. But now that the princess of the Guguo had gone to the Black Clouds Kingdom as promised, what did they an by doing this? Aren’t they afraid that the world will laugh at them?”
“Hmph, I think they were the ones who spread those rumours. It’s obvious that their goal was to lure the princess of Guguo over and then use her as a hostage. One had to know that the princess of Guguo was not only the princess of Guguo but also the wife of the Defender General. Great General dotes on Princess Gu so much. Perhaps the Emperor of Black Cloud Country wants to take Princess Gu as a hostage to threaten Great General.”
The more they spoke, the more they felt that this was the truth.
“However, no matter how much the Great General loves Princess Guguo, he cannot disregard the safety of the country. Great General is a benevolent person.”
“That’s true. Great General is a benevolent person. It is impossible for him to put my entire dynasty in danger for his own selfish interests.”
” Your Majesty, since the Aduo Chai Kingdom and the Black Clouds Kingdom have joined forces and have the intention of attacking our dynasty, we should make preparations as soon as possible and call back the Defender General!”
“Yes, yes, call the Defender General back!”
The ministers who were shouting for General to co back didn’t know that General had gone to the Black Clouds Kingdom with Princess Lin Yuelan.
The old Emperor did not expect the Black Clouds Kingdom to be so despicable.
They had actually secretly allied with the neighbouring Aduo Chai Kingdom to attack the Longyan Dynasty.
However, what worried him was that Jiang Zhennan had disguised himself as his secret guard, Wu Ming, to protect Lin Yuelan.
Now, he had to inform him to return. The journey was far, and he did not know if it would delay things.
However, from the looks of it, they should first secretly inform Jiang Zhennan to co back, and the fake Jiang Zhennan would go over to hold the fort first. At that ti, their identities would be switched back.
Thinking of this, the old Emperor suddenly asked the Crown Prince,” Crown Prince, what do you think?”
The Crown Prince replied,” Imperial Father, your son has the sa thoughts as the other lords. Call the Great General back first. Only the Great General can respond to the sudden changes in the border areas at any ti!”
The old Emperor nodded and replied,” Yes, what you said makes sense!”
Although there had been no war in recent years, Jiang Zhennan had never slacked off on the border defence.
Since he had been accompanying Lin Yuelan in Taoyuan Village all these years, he knew the situation at the border very well.
The old Emperor imdiately said,” Then call the Great General back!”
..
“Ah, not good. It’s on fire, it’s on fire!”
Looking from afar, the smoke from the Huaifeng City Courier Station was billowing, and white fog filled the air. It was a terrifying sight!
“Fire! Put out the fire!”
In the posthouse, people were panicking, and horses were in a ss. Everyone was shouting and shouting, and their faces were filled with fear.
Jiang Zhennan ran to Lin Yuelan’s room as soon as he found out about the fire.
“Yue ‘er, are you alright?”
“Cough cough…” Lin Yuelan choked on the smoke. She shook her head and said,” I’m fine!”
Then, she asked,” What’s going on outside?”
Jiang Zhennan said,” There’s a fire outside. Let’s go, and I’ll bring you out now!”
In the face of the fire, Jiang Zhennan couldn’t care less about hiding his true identity. He hugged Lin Yuelan’s waist and planned to bring her out.
The two girls who rushed over from behind were surprised and confused when they saw their actions. They shouted,” Captain Wu!”
