Su Huan quickly entered the palace, and the atmosphere in the imperial study was a bit solemn.
Emperor Wu looked at the letter with ice-like eyes.
It was Su Huan who was the first to speak and break the silence, "Fortunately, we had a plan. Yu'er has now arrived at the border. The black gunpowder is very powerful and a great help. King Jingnan's troops have also rushed over. We don't Would be so passive.”
"Where does the Northern Territory get the confidence to start a war with us?" Emperor Wu was unhappy, "Even if other small countries join, how good will their military strength be?"
Xiao Yan had calmed down at this moment, "Father, please don't forget that our national master has returned to Northern Xinjiang and resumed his status as a holy master."
Su Huan stroked his white beard and said with deep eyes, "The prince means that Northern Xinjiang is also involved?"
"The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang has always been at odds with the Holy Master. It is hard to say whether he was involved or not. However, the Holy Master has a special status in Northern Xinjiang, and the respect and trust of the people are engraved in their bones. It is not possible to secretly dispatch troops to the border to cooperate with the Northern Territory. Impossible. Last time, my father was able to seize the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Prefecture and get back the military talismans so smoothly. Another reason was that he was not in Daqing and was beyond his reach."
Emperor Wu said nothing, he knew that was the truth.
"But the Holy Master in Northern Xinjiang is different from the National Master in our Daqing. In Daqing, he has not yet reached that level of hands and eyes, but in Northern Xinjiang, it is hard to say."
"If that's the case, I'm afraid we're going to have to go through a bloody battle at the border..." Su Huan's face became a little ugly.
"I believe in the Su family army, I believe in King Jingnan, and I am not worried about Yue'er's new weapons. But the Northern Territory actually got involved with the previous dynasty. Their ambitions are so big that we have to guard against them. In the entire continent, except for our four countries, they It is estimated that we have secretly gathered many small countries, but as long as Northern Qi and Northern Xinjiang do not collude with them, we will have a better chance of winning."
"There is no need to worry about Northern Qi. My sister has already sent a letter there. As for Northern Xinjiang, as long as the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang has no other undue ambitions, they will try their best to help the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang gain power during this trip. If the Holy Master really secretly After deploying his troops, he will definitely take action against the Northern Xinjiang royal family, and this battle is inevitable."
"Is there any danger in Yue'er's trip?" Emperor Wu looked panicked.
"There are secret guards, uncles, and my eldest cousin and her second senior brother. King Jingnan has also kept people secretly, so everything will be fine. Besides, don't underestimate your sister. Although her abilities are not as good as hers, they will be fine." She is a senior brother, but she has few rivals." Besides, there is still room to save her life, so Xiao Yan is not worried about her personal safety.
Su Huan nodded, "Yue'er's abilities are enough for her to protect herself."
Emperor Wu suddenly felt that his worries were unnecessary and he felt guilty, as if he didn't trust his daughter.
After half a day of discussion, Su Huan no longer had the initial worries. As long as he had a thorough plan, his chances of winning were still high despite a bloody battle.
After he left, Emperor Wu stood up. After all, he was old. He had been sitting still all afternoon and his body was a little stiff.
Eunuch Zhang Fuk immediately stepped forward and helped him squeeze his shoulders and beat his legs.
Emperor Wu glanced at Xiao Yan who was sitting beside him, "How could the emperor pass the letter to you?"
What he didn't know was that even Zhang Fu could smell the sourness in his tone.
"I don't know." Xiao Yan continued to look at the materials on the table without raising his head.
"Have I sent you a letter before?"
"No, first time."
Emperor Wu felt a little better. This uncle disliked him. He is an emperor, but he doesn't get a good look even if he acts low and petty in front of him. However, stepping over him and sending a message directly to his son shows how much he does not trust him... ugh.
Emperor Wu looked at his son who seemed to be a little thin recently and said, "Don't be too busy. Yue'er is here to take care of your health. Don't forget to eat."
"I know."
"There are endless things to deal with. Your recent performance has been very good, and all the ministers in the DPRK and China will praise you."
Xiao Yan did not answer, "Go and have a rest," and then looked at Zhang Fu, "Eunuch Zhang, has the emperor had a good meal recently?"
"Prince, don't worry, there is some. The medicated food left by the princess is being eaten every day under the arrangement of the imperial doctor. There is also no shortage of baths. The emperor's recent sleep and energy are obviously better than before. .”
Xiao Yan nodded, "You can't relax then, increase your exercise appropriately."
"Hey, I know this, I will watch it carefully."
Emperor Wu kicked Zhang Fu on the butt, but the force was not strong, "You old man, you dare to collude with him while I am here, you are itching, right?"
Zhang Fu touched his butt aggrievedly, "As long as it is good to the Emperor, I am not afraid of the Emperor being angry."
"You, you," Emperor Wu nodded with his finger, but he was still very grateful for his son's concern. He looked at Xiao Yan lovingly, "You don't have to worry about me. I have hardly done anything recently. I just eat all day long." After sleeping and eating, you are fine, but you still have to pay attention to yourself. Your body is better now, but after all, you are a little weaker than others, so you can't show off your strength."
"Well, I'm not trying to be brave. Maybe I've recently practiced a new set of boxing techniques, which makes me look leaner, but I obviously feel that my body is stronger than before."
"That's good, that's good." Emperor Wu was satisfied and relieved.

Su Yue and his party rushed on the road without stopping. In a few days, they arrived at the capital of Northern Xinjiang. However, they did not find Xuan Xiaosi immediately. Instead, they found an ordinary inn to stay.
"I've asked about it. Xiaosi is in the palace. I'm going to go there today. How about you?" Duan Tianya rubbed his stiff shoulders.
"I'm going to go to the First Prince's Mansion."
"Is he trustworthy?"
"Elder brother said that we can discuss it with him. Although he is the brother of the fourth senior brother, we don't know him that well, and we can't even talk about trusting him. But when it comes to dealing with the Holy Master, I believe he will be more active than us."
"What is the character of brother Xiaosi?"
"I've only met him once or twice, and he seems like a pretty good person."
"Well, I'll ask Xiao Si tonight. He's more accurate in this regard."
"His own brother, you ask him?" Su Yue was funny.
"Hmph, don't underestimate your fourth senior brother. In this regard, his intuition is more accurate than anyone else. He doesn't need a reason. Do you think he is born with good luck and has never encountered bad people?"
Su Yue nodded. She also admired Xuan Xiaosi in this regard. "I have to go to the Divine Doctor's Hall first to understand the situation. Do you want to come with me?"
"I won't go. If you have any questions, come back and tell me. I'll go around the palace first." After saying that, Duan Tianya picked up his sword and left.
As soon as Xiao Nan and Su Yu arrived at the capital of Northern Xinjiang, they also went out. They probably had something to be busy with.
