The bowls and chopsticks on the table had already been put away. It seemed that Feng Cang and Wan Yankang would be staying in the palace tonight. "Go back and rest early. Don't wait for me!" Feng Cang sent Feng Qi Qi to the door. "Be careful!"
"Alright!" Feng Qi Qi knew that this was not the time for romance. She tiptoed and kissed Feng Cang on the lips before leaving the palace with Su Mei and Su Yue.
After returning to the Regent's Residence, Feng Qi Qi called Nalan Xin and Jin Mo over. When they arrived, Feng Qi Qi's expression turned solemn.
"Nalan Xin, how's the situation in East Lu?"
"Princess, this happened too suddenly and we didn't manage to get much information. However, according to the information we have, East Lu's Xia Jin used the excuse of avenging Xia Yunxi and ordered General Hu Xuesen to lead 150,000 troops to attack Yan Men Pass. Now that Yan Men Pass has been conquered, Hu Xuesen has invaded the three eastern provinces of North Zhou. However, he has met with great resistance and has been detained in Pingyi, Gaoyang, and Jinyuan. "
"Why did we not notice the 150,000 troops attacking us? Is there a traitor, or … "
"Princess, you don't know. North Zhou and East Lu have been on good terms for generations and have never fought. East Lu is close to Yan Men Pass, which is the second largest city in East Lu. Since the Qin Dynasty, East Lu has been worried that Yu Men Pass would become the prey of other countries, so they have always sent troops to guard it. This has been their habit for a long time, which is why they caught us off guard and why our army was not prepared for them. "
Nalan Xin's analysis allowed Feng Qi Qi to understand the reason behind this. Most of the Living Buddha Sect's forces were in North Zhou and East Lu, so the information they gathered should be very reliable.
"Su Yue, what's going on with West Qi?"
"Miss, ten days ago, Long Zeyu made Longze Jingtian the crown prince. He was the one who suggested that we go to war. Longze Jingtian's suggestion was supported by the Shangguan Clan and Duanmu Clan. The Shangguan Family had long wanted to take revenge for what had happened at Yandang Mountain. This time, Longze Jingtian could become the Crown Prince because of the support of the Shangguan Family. It can be said that Longze Jingtian was able to become the crown prince because of the support of the military! "
Hearing the name Ryuze Jingtian, Feng Qiqi frowned. She knew that Ryuze Jingtian was an ambitious person. It was just that she did not expect Longze Jingtian to use attacking Beizhou as a springboard.
"Who is the leader?"
"Miss, the general leading the Xi Qi army is Shangguan Wuji …"
Shangguan Wuji? Feng Qiqi remained silent for a while. She and Shangguan Wuji were friends, but she didn't expect the two of them to become enemies because of the interests of the two empires. It seemed that all good things must come to an end in this world. Many things were beyond one's control.
However, between North Zhou and West Qi, between Feng Cang and Shangguan Wuji, Feng Qiqi would definitely choose the former.
"What about the Female True Race? Ten years ago, wasn't the Female True Race beaten into the desert by Feng Cang? Why did the Female Race gather in the north? "
With three parties attacking at the same time, one could guess that there was a conspiracy behind this. Someone must have pulled the strings in the middle and made the three parties come to an agreement. That was how things happened. Who could it be? Everything happened too suddenly and caught everyone off guard. No one had gathered any information, so there was no way to know who the mastermind was.
The only fortunate thing was that the Nanfeng Nation did not participate in this. Otherwise, Beizhou would be surrounded by enemies. Even if the rulers did not panic, the people would be in a panic.
East Lu sent their troops because of Xia Yunxi, and West Qi used Yandang Mountain as an excuse. Then, was the Female True Race's reason to take revenge for what happened ten years ago?
"Your Highness, the Female True Race disappeared for ten years. There must be a reason for their sudden appearance. Our information should be delivered in two days. This is the information we collected on the Female True Race. Please take a look! "
Nalan Xin took out the information he had prepared and handed it to Feng Qiqi. It was a thick stack of information that was half the height of a person.
"Su Mei, Suyue, stay here and help me sort it out. Pick out the most important information that is related to the war and list it separately. Nalan Xin, we will look for the information on West Qi in the Demon Region. The information on East Lu will belong to the Buddhist Sect. I want to know all the information on East Lu's troops! Senior Brother Jin Mo, prepare sufficient medicinal herbs. His Highness might lead the troops personally! "
Everyone was convinced by Feng Qiqi's arrangements, but her final words left them shocked.
"Junior Sister, has His Highness confirmed that he would send troops?" Jin Mo had guessed that Feng Cang would send troops, but he did not know where he would go.
"His Highness didn't say. It's just a guess. His Highness is surrounded by enemies on three sides. He will probably go to one side. Make the necessary preparations in case it's too late. "
"Alright!" Just when Jin Mo and Nalan Xin were about to leave, Feng Qiqi added, "Senior Brother, please keep an eye on Mingyue Cheng's movements in the capital! Although the Nanfeng Nation hasn't made a move yet, it doesn't mean that the south is safe. I will ask the Demon Region to keep an eye on the Nanfeng Nation! "
"Alright!" Seeing that Feng Qiqi did not let down her guard against the Nanfeng Nation just because Mingyue Cheng was in Beijing, Jin Mo nodded. "Don't worry!"
For the entire night, Feng Qiqi browsed through the information on the Female True Race.
According to the information, the Female True Race was a nomadic race that was divided into four main tribes. The northern grassland was vast, and the Female True Race lived a simple life. They would graze in the spring and summer, raid in the south in the autumn, and rest in the winter.
In the previous Qin Dynasty, the Female True Race was a problem that gave the Qin Dynasty a headache. Although the Qin Dynasty had made peace through marriage and exchanged food and silk for peace and tranquility, the Female True Race did not weaken. Instead, they became even more arrogant.
Ten years ago, Feng Cang led his troops to the north and entered the grassland. After one and a half years, not only did he defeat the Female True Race, he even took the head of the Female True Race's Khan, Ji Sang Guhan. Since then, the Female True Race disappeared from the north and moved into the desert.
However, after ten years, the Female True Race gathered another hundred thousand troops to the south. Ji Sang Guhan was gone. Could it be that his children were leading the troops?
When Feng Cang returned to Tingsong Tower, Su Mei and Su Yue were still reading through the information. On the other hand, Feng Qiqi was so tired that she fell asleep on the rocking chair.
