Chapter 200 Promise to Help
At this time, the candles in the palace were bright and dazzling.
After reading the letter brought by Chen Yuanshu, Yun Zhi raised her calm eyes and looked at Chen Yuanshu below. "Ning Qingwu did trust you, but if you tell on me, you will be doomed."
"Your Majesty is wrong. Ning Qingwu trusts Your Majesty. After all, the decision-making power lies in Your Majesty's hands." Chen Yuanshu said respectfully.
Hearing this, Yun Zhi smiled lightly. Chen Yuanshu was still the same as always, always liking to push the credit onto her.
"What do you think of this matter, Mr. Chen Aiqing?"
Chen Yuanshu pondered for a moment, quickly filtering through all the information about Ning Qingwu in his mind. Then, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that what Ning Qingwu said in the letter is very likely true, but we should not believe it completely. It is best to investigate this matter. If it is true, I think I can agree to help."
"No need to check, this is indeed true."
Hearing this, Chen Yuanshu's eyes widened slightly. His Majesty must have already known the inside story.
In this case, I guess there is nothing for me to do now. Anyway, with Your Majesty's ability, I am sure you will be able to properly handle the subsequent matters.
The rest was not her business. It was enough for her to be the middleman to deliver the message.
She should be able to leave at this point.
Chen Yuanshu looked up at Yun Zhi and was about to say goodbye when Yun Zhi's next words came into her ears.
"Chen Aiqing, when you return, write a reply letter to Ning Qingwu in your name, saying that we agree to help you."
Chen Yuanshu was shocked. She had never expected that His Majesty would ask her to write a reply. After all, the meaning of this was very different.
By writing a reply, she was as if telling Ning Qingwu that Yun Zhi was willing to help for Chen Yuanshu's sake.
From now on, the Ning family owed her a big favor.
Chen Yuanshu calmed down and was about to decline when Yun Zhi interrupted him, "My dear Chen, please don't refuse. This matter is most appropriate for you. You and Ning Qingwu have always had dealings, and she trusts you the most. If we send the spies planted in Yue Kingdom to contact her directly, she might become suspicious. But you are different."
There is no doubt at all. If Your Majesty wants Ning Qingwu to trust that he is a man of An Guo, there are countless ways to do it. Your Majesty said this just to ask Chen Yuanshu to accept this favor.
His Majesty had already said this, and to refuse would be ungrateful, so he went along with it and said, "Since Your Majesty trusts me so much, I will do my best to fulfill my mission."
Yun Zhi nodded in satisfaction. "Just now I saw that Lord Chen had come in such a hurry. I guess he hasn't had dinner yet. Why don't you join me?"
"Your Majesty, it's not necessary. The palace had already prepared it when I arrived. If you don't eat it at home, it would be a shame to throw it away."
Yun Zhi was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Well, then you can go back home first."
Chen Yuanshu quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
After Chen Yuanshu left, Yun Zhi lowered her head and stared at the letter.
Ning Cen's former subordinates had an army of 200,000 strong. If they were all taken away, it would be like cutting off the fuel supply for the State of Yue.
In this case, how long can it hold out against the attacks of the Three Kingdoms?
Yun Zhi's lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile. The Kingdom of Yue was about to cease to exist.
On the other hand, after sending the letter, Ning Qingwu was worried every day.
Sometimes I was worried that something might happen during the letter delivery, and sometimes I was afraid that Anguo would reject it.
It had only been a few days, but Ji Xun had already started taking action. He used the excuse that his father had been injured on the battlefield to allow him to recuperate in the mansion, but in fact he was beginning to deprive his father of his military power in disguise.
"Oh." Another heavy sigh came out of her mouth.
At this moment, a palace maid came in carrying a food box. "Your Majesty, these are snacks sent in from outside the palace. They are said to taste very good. Would you like to try some?"
Ning Qingwu looked at the palace maid looking down at the bottom of the food box and instantly understood what she meant.
She said calmly, "Put it there first. I'll eat it later."
After the palace maid left, Ning Qingwu carried the food box and walked towards his bedroom.
After making sure that no one was there, she quickly opened the bottom of the lunch box and found a letter.
After opening the letter and seeing the familiar handwriting, a smile finally appeared on his face, which had been frowning for several days.
so good.
After destroying the letter, she began to write a letter to tell her father everything that had happened during this period. Now it was time to let her father know.
She believed that after seeing the letter, her father would know what to do.
While Ning Qingwu was showing his joy, Ji Xun on the other side of the palace was frowning tightly.
"Your Majesty, judging from the movements of Liao and Yu, I'm afraid they are really going to attack us," said a minister below.
"Don't I know that the most urgent thing is how to deal with it? Now we are short of food and grass, and our military strength has been reduced. What should we do?" Ji Xun frowned, his face full of worry.
Ji Xun clenched his fists on the table, his eyes full of anger. They were really a group of guys taking advantage of the situation.
The ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to answer for a moment.
At this time, an old general stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that we should recruit soldiers and gather food and fodder nationwide to prepare for the upcoming war."
"I agree. We are not at the end of our rope yet. It is true that our military strength has been weakened, but the surrendered soldiers from Wu have filled some of the gaps. In addition, with the addition of half of Wu's territory, as long as we can hold on for now, we won't have to worry about them later." said the minister.
Ji Xun pondered for a moment, his expression softening slightly. "This still isn't foolproof. Send someone to ask An Guo if he's willing to join forces with the Yue Kingdom once again."
A minister hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, if we ask An Guo for help now, I'm afraid An Guo will put forward harsh conditions, and they may not be sincere in helping us."
Ji Xun snorted coldly, "That's better than just sitting there and waiting to die."
After the negotiations ended, envoys set out from Yue State that day and rushed to An State at full speed.
