Bab 488: Swallow, never give up
The frontline battle situation changed suddenly, and this news was soon sent back to the capital. The Emperor's good mood due to the opening of the bank and downfall of the Zhang Family's influence disappeared in an instant.
"The south, this south, they inexplicable sent their princess to the east, originally, to confuse us." The Emperor was so angry that he immediately ordered the palace guards to surround the Lingyun Courtyard, where Nannuo Yao lived.
Nannuo Yao has just been cured, but she hasn't had a chance to be happy, she encountered another problem. She was so scared that her face turned pale when she asked what happened.
Nannuo Yao was not stupid. She knew that the war between the East and North haven't ended yet. The East cannot afford to offend her, or the Southern Country behind her. This situation was too strange.
The palace guards didn't receive an order to conceal things to Princess Nannuo Yao. So when Nannuo Yao asked, the palace guard replied: "The Southern Country sent elephant soldiers to assist the Northern Country. Princess, you better behave yourself."
Obviously, when the Southern Country sent troops to help the Northern Country this time, they already gave up Nannuo Yao. Or perhaps, she was abandoned since the beginning. They sent her to the East just to make the emperor think that they will not intervene in the war. After all, they sent a princess whom the South Emperor loved.
No need to question, this so-called beloved princess by the emperor was nothing but an abandoned child. The Southern Country sent her to East to collect intelligence, and then turned their sleeve and sent troops to help the Northern Country to attack the East.
"This is not possible. How could he do this? How could he leave me alone?" Nannuo Yao almost became crazy when she heard the news: "I don't believe this. I want to see the emperor. No, no, I want to go back, I want to go back to the south. I want to ask what's going on here."
Her Imperial Father just sent a letter a moment ago, asking her to find a way to kill Xiao Wangfei as soon as possible. And also, cause a dispute between the Emperor and Xiao Tianyao. But now, all of a sudden, he sent troops and ignore her life and death?
"Go back to the south? Princess Nannuo Yao, are you kidding me?" When the palace guard saw Nannuo Yao clamoring to go back to the south, he was disappointed with her.
Even until now, she still can't clearly see the situation, she still couldn't understand the reality. No wonder the south abandoned her.
"No, no… how can imperial father and imperial brother not want me?" Nannuo Yao fell on the ground and clenched her fists tightly. Her nails embedded in her flesh, but she didn't feel pain at all.
At this time, her heart was ten thousand times more painful.
An abandoned child, she changed from a highly respected princess to an abandoned child?
In this war, if the North and South win, what would happen to her?
"No… No, Imperial father will not do this to me." Nannuo Yao cried on the ground. The more she thought of it, the more she felt terrified.
The maidservant next to Nannuo Yao, when she saw her like this, she hurriedly came forward and hugged her: "Princess, don't be like this. You have to believe in the emperor. The emperor will not give you up. Soon, you will go back."
"I can't go back, I can't go back." Nannuo Yao covered her face with her hands and wept bitterly.
In this war… … between the two countries and her country, she can't think of a solution at all. She can only watch herself become an abandoned child and fell at the mercy of the East.
Although the emperor sent palace guards to watch Nannuo Yao, he didn't punish her. He only restricted her freedom and prevented her from leaving the East Country.
Of course, Ji Fengyu, who came with Nannuo Yao, was also not in a good situation. Although the Western Country hasn't made a move this time, who can guarantee that they will not send troops to assist the North?
Just in case, the emperor sent someone to shut down Ji Fengyu, but the treatment was dozens of times much better than Nannuo Yao. With the palace guards accompanying him, Ji Fengyu was still free to go out.
The Eastern Country was nice to Ji Fengyu, not because the Western Country didn't send troops, but because he was close to the Crown Prince, Prince Zian and Prince Wen. These three people were very optimistic about Ji Fengyu.
Ji Fengyu was different from Nannuo Yao, Ji Fengyu was a prince. He may inherit the throne. Prince Zian told directly to the emperor, what would happen if a prince, abandoned by his own country, return?
The Western Country will have an internal conflict!
At this point, the Emperor didn't try to treat Ji Fengyu too harshly and even offer some help when needed.
There was no right or wrong in politics. Only the enemy of my enemy is a friend, right?
*
With the entry of the Southern Country's elephant soldiers, the battle on the front line was once again fell in a stalemate. The original victory naked to the eye once again stretched out. The Emperor could only continue to raise rations to deal with the war.
And in order not to cause panic among the people, the Emperor didn't announce the details of the situation. Ordinary people didn't know the specific event in the front line. They only know that the Southern Army joined the war, but Xiao Wangye was there, so everything was fine!
As long as Xiao Tianyao is on the front line, as long as Xiao Tianyao is not in trouble, the people of the East will not be afraid. Even if the imperial army is crushed, as long as the people of the East know that Xiao Tianyao is on the battlefield, the people of the East will not be afraid.
Their God of War, their pride, their glory, will never let them down!
Ordinary people don't understand the situation and were still full of confidence in Xiao Tianyao. While Su Cha and Lin Chujiu were not so optimistic.
"Southern's elephant herd is very powerful. If we didn't spend money to improve Jin Wuwei's armors this time, we would suffer a big loss." Su Cha knew that Xiao Tianyao had suffered a loss in the hands of the elephant herd.
"However, that is to say, if only the south will join, but if the west joins in, things will be very troublesome." Su Cha had a headache when he thought of the three countries teaming up to destroy the East.
No matter how powerful the Eastern Country is, it was not enough for the three countries.
"It is because of the Central Empire, right? They took the shot, right?" Apart from this reason, Lin Chujiu couldn't think of another one.
The Southern and Western Countries have always secretly helped the Eastern Country to slaughter Xiao Tianyao, but they all acted in the dark. This time, they completely tear each other's faces on the bright side, which was inconsistent with what they had done before.
Even if the South wanted to help the Northern Country, they will not send elephant soldiers so blatantly.
The South movements seem like telling Xiao Tianyao who was behind the scenes.
Of course… … The South didn't do this for Xiao Tianyao's sake, but it was to transfer Xiao Tianyao's hatred to the real culprit. They want Xiao Tianyao to find the mastermind and forget about targeting them.
"The east's rise too fast, the Central Empire is teaching the east a lesson." Su Cha nodded his head, indicating that Lin Chujiu's guess was correct.
"Is it because of the bank?" Lin Chujiu turned the brush in her hand, looking casual, but there were tension and uneasiness in her eyes.
Xiao Tianyao was very similar to Lin Chujiu. Both of them have strong anti-stress capabilities. In the face of huge pressure, the two will be more rational than collapse.
"Fifty-fifty, the east has developed too fast in recent years, which is almost beyond the control of the Central Empire. The bank is just an upfront, even if there is no bank, the Central Empire will suppress the east. Just like what happened to the south, do you think the current emperor of the south can succeed in his treason? Without the Central Empire behind him, how can he succeed the throne?"
When Su Cha said this, there was a sarcastic smile on his face.
The Central Empire claimed to never intervene in the affairs of the four countries, but it controlled the economy and took away all the powerful people of the four countries. They secretly use all kinds of provocations to make the four countries chaotic and weak.
The Central Empire has never given up its intention to engulf the four countries… …
