Chapter 380: 381

Persuading Yue Country

“Then I dare ask Empress, Wei Country wants to borrow Yue’s route now, so they might attack here soon. What should we do now?”

It began with the most troublesome problem, and everyone looked at Ye Mu. Ye Mu sat on a high place, but also felt the pressure.

“For this matter, I think we can split into groups. One side will start preparing for war. I have His Majesty’s thirty thousand elites, and also have the tally to transfer order to every county’s military strength. Scraping a hundred thousand army should be nothing difficult.”

Everyone didn’t expect His Majesty had long prepared and also left the military tally* behind. They felt slightly relieved.

“Second, bring the treasure to lobby Yue Country. If one falls, the other follows. Let them remain neutral, or pull them into our side!”

This second point was very difficult to do, but everyone felt this was the only safest thing to do at the moment. For a moment, no one posed a conflicting opinion.

But someone asked, “Then who’s the best person to send to lobby? Right now, Yue Country and Wei Country might have reached an agreement. It doesn’t matter who’s sent, it’s very dangerous either way.”

Ye Mu said in a deep voice, “I myself will go.”

“No way!” After she finished talking, not only Prime Minister Wen, Zi Xu and Wen Feng who were to protect Ye Mu objected! How could they let the empress go to deal with this matter?

But Ye Mu had her mind made up. “I’ll be fine. With a disguise, I just have to be a little careful and there won’t be any danger. Most importantly, Yue’s monarch and I used to be friends. I’m from Yue Country, and in the first place, my father has some former subordinates who are staying at Yue Country. I believe no one is more suitable than me!”

Ye Mu’s words made everyone unable to refute. The Empress’ maternal family was Yue Country, and also had a relation with Yue’s emperor. From everyone in the courtroom, there was no one else more suitable than her.

But the Prime Minister still shook his head.

“That’s not allowed. I have promised His Majesty not to let Empress risk herself.”

Ye Mu said, “But I also believe, His Majesty also said, if something happens, all of you have to listen to my order, correct?”

The Prime Minister opened his mouth, suddenly held back by her words.

What Mo Linyuan was most worried about was definitely Ye Mu’s safety, so Ye Mu definitely owned the highest right, but it had to be effective during a dangerous time.

Ye Mu asked, “And right now, is the problem not serious? Could it be that you refuse to listen to my order?”

The Prime Minister, under Ye Mu’s overbearing manner, shrinked back. He was helpless. Mo Linyuan had said, for a special matter, her order was the priority!

Seeing his stance, Ye Mu faintly smiled. “Good, looks like I said it well. Then this matter proceeds like this, the Prime Minister will be responsible for allocating the armed forces with Zi Xu assisting, and Wen Feng will accompany me to Yue Country. Let’s resolve this quickly!”

Ye Mu’s vigor and resoluteness didn’t give these men on the scene any chance to express themselves, and Ye Mu lived up to her words. After the morning court, she changed her clothes and left with Wen Feng.

The Prime Minister had wanted to send more people to protect her, but hadn’t had time, and waited until he got a letter left by Ye Mu.

The letter wrote, for the sake of being quicker, the less the number of people who went to Yue Country the better, and also wrote that while she was gone, she would let things be in the Prime Minister’s care.

The Prime Minister deeply sighed holding the letter, and then quickly wrote a letter for Mo Linyuan who was at the border.

At this moment, Ye Mu and Wen Feng were already on their way.

Yue Country was not very far from Mo Country’s capital, it would take about ten days to reach by horse.

And they rode in a hurry, rushing to Yue Country in seven days’ time. Also, Ye Mu with the help of an insider directly requested an audience with Yue’s monarch, Qi Yan!

At this moment, Qi Yan was discussing the final matters with Wei Country’s people, and had a servant whisper next to his ears, said someone from Mo Country requested an audience. He was rather in a daze. He didn’t expect the other party would arrive so fast.

But he had already fixed his decision in his heart. Mo Country that was threading through muddy water*, he couldn’t thread it anymore. The other five countries had joined forces, bearing down menacingly. Even if he and Mo Country joined hands, they wouldn’t be a match, so he could only defend himself, agreeing to the other party’s request to borrow his route.

*threading through muddy water – getting involved in something disadvantageous

But Mo Country’s people still wanted to meet him, so, after asking Wei’s people to withdraw, he received Mo’s people.

Although he had made up his plan in his heart, when Qi Yan saw who came, he couldn’t help widening his eyes! Ye Mu—it was actually Ye Mu!

Ye Mu also didn’t bring Wen Feng, having the audience alone.

Seeing Ye Mu who was disguised as a man, he hurriedly drove away the other people in the room, then quickly walked down the throne, surprise painting his expression.

“Ye Mu, it’s actually you!”

At this moment, Ye Mu was fifteen years old. Her looks were starting to get older, but he could still vaguely see her childhood appearance. That look was soft and adorable, but actually couldn’t be bullied.

When Ye Mu saw Qi Yan, she also felt deeply moved. Forced by the situation, she believed Qi Yan wasn’t intentionally making things worse. After all, he was the monarch of a country. Even if he wanted to help Mo Country, he also had to consider Yue’s common people.

“Qi Yan, it has been years. I didn’t expect to be meeting you in this kind of situation.” Although she felt very anxious, her face still looked calm. “Will you not invite me to drink?”

“Of course I have to! Come, follow me!”

Qi Yan personally took Ye Mu to dine. On the way, Ye Mu really didn’t eat well. The small face that originally had some baby fat had completely gone thinner now. She first ate a bit of food, and in this silence, the excitement in Qi Yan’s heart subsided, slowly understanding why Ye Mu had come.

“Are you thinking of persuading me, that you want me not to lend the route to Wei Country?”

After filling up her stomach a bit, Ye Mu put down her chopsticks, and calmly said:

“No, I came to ask you to lend the route to Wei Country.”

“Why?” Qi Yan widened his eyes at her.

Ye Mu forced a smile. She said with a light voice, “Have you thought of one thing? Wei Country borrowing route, what’s his intention?”

Qi Yan said, “Certainly to attack Mo Country.”

Although Qi Yan also knew that lending the route was extremely dangerous for Yue Country, the other five countries had allied. Anyway, for the sake of their plan, they also wouldn’t take action on Yue Country before destroying Mo Country.

Ye Mu nodded. “That’s right. They want to attack Mo Country, but everyone knows that Mo’s armed forces are currently small. After all, they are currently fighting. So long as Wei Country brings a few people, collapsing the capital of Mo Country is very easy. After all, both our countries are very close. But have you ever thought that after they easily destroy Mo Country, and Mo Linyuan cannot come back in time, in this period of time, it’s enough for Wei Country to attack Yue Country from both sides!”

Qi Yan had long thought this was possible, so at this moment, his expression was stern, and didn’t speak with his lips pressed together.
