Southern Qi and Northern Qi are of the same clan.

Why did Northern Qi help outsiders to fight their own people?

It can't be because the empress of Northern Qi admired the empress of Yong.

Lu Mingyu's eyebrows were solemn and he sat down slowly.

Nanling and Yongguo attacked from both sides. Even if Northern Qi watched coldly, Southern Qi would lose miserably. If the food, weapons and war horses provided by Northern Qi were added, how could Southern Qi have any chance of winning?

They were so powerful that they could hold on for half a year.

Yongguo was really cunning. It took Nanling without any effort and encouraged Northern Qi to help her attack Southern Qi.

The news of the fall of Southern Qi had not yet come, but the army of Yong Dynasty had already forced to the border of Beiliang, and it was the empress who led the expedition in person...

Where did Yong Dynasty get so many troops?

Lu Mingyu thought that Gong Liancheng had just died, and other generals in the court had never fought against the female god of war, and the internal struggle of the Black Armor Army had intensified.

If they were to face Yong Dynasty at this time, what chance would they have of winning?

Lu Mingyu's brows were filled with anxiety.

Beiliang had just ended its civil strife and had not yet cleaned up the mess, when the Yong Dynasty's army pressed to the border and took the initiative to provoke a war - Beiliang had always been the one to start the war, and Yong Dynasty was exhausted from dealing with it.

Now the situation has reversed, and Beiliang has completely fallen into a passive situation.

Lu Mingyu raised his eyes and looked at the spy: "Any other information?"

"I found out that Miss Yuan was picked up by a man that night. Their relationship is still unknown, but the two should still be in Beiliang." The spy replied, "The reason why they did not leave Beiliang may be to create a reasonable excuse for Yong to send troops to Beiliang."

Lu Mingyu was instantly enlightened, as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head.

A thread suddenly appeared in his mind, connecting all the things that happened in the past few days.

From the time Gong Liancheng was assassinated and poisoned, the female doctor appeared to detoxify him, and then Prince Duan took her into the palace to treat his father's illness, all this was a conspiracy?

The emperor should have died, but he was able to live a few more days because of the appearance of Yuan Ziying. Prince Duan told his father about the assassination of Gong Liancheng in front of him. His father suspected that he was the one who did it and thought of abolishing the crown prince.

Everything that happened later seemed to be logical, but it happened only after Yun Ziying appeared, including his poisoning.

Lu Mingyu even realized belatedly that the assassination of Gong Liancheng was also related to her?

Now the Yong Dynasty asked for the surrender of the empress's sister, but she disappeared again, which made the Yong Dynasty find an excuse to attack Beiliang...

Lu Mingyu's face gradually darkened. That cunning bitch was indeed well prepared.

All this was a conspiracy of the Yong Kingdom from beginning to end.

The air in the hall seemed to be stagnant, and the temperature dropped little by little.

After a long time, he said coldly: "Come here!"

The eunuch in front of the emperor stepped forward: "Your Majesty."

"Call General Ling."

"Yes."

It was late at night and everything was silent.

In the Dushui City Inn on the border, Yuan Ziying, who lived alone in a side room, was sweating profusely, as if she was trapped in a nightmare, and a sentence kept echoing in her ears: "Kill Yan Donghuang!"

"Kill Yan Donghuang!"

"Kill Yan Donghuang, kill Yan Donghuang..."

She suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were panicked, and in the darkness, only her rapid breathing could be heard, with suppressed anxiety.

Yuan Ziying gently closed her eyes, raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat on her forehead, and her heart was still beating non-stop.

Whose voice was that in the dream?

Kill Yan Donghuang?

"Ziying." Xie Yunjian raised his hand and knocked on the door, "What's wrong with you?"

Yuan Ziying turned her head in shock, but saw only darkness.

She slowly calmed her breathing, sat up from the bed, and leaned against the head of the bed: "Come in."

Xie Yunjian pushed the door open with a candle.

The dark room suddenly became bright.

Xie Yunjian put the candle on the table and walked to the bedside. Seeing her pale face, he looked concerned: "What's wrong?"

Yuan Ziying looked up at him: "I just had a nightmare."

"What did you dream about?"

Yuan Ziying closed her eyes gently and leaned against the head of the bed tiredly.

She dreamed that someone kept urging her to kill the Queen. The voice seemed to be in front of her, but it was particularly far away.

Yuan Ziying couldn't be sure whether she was controlled by someone or she was dreaming about something during the day.

But she knew she couldn't take risks.

"I dreamed of Prince Duan of Beiliang." Yuan Ziying lowered her eyes, her voice still lingering with fear, "He stood in a fire, looked at me coldly, and said that I killed him and he wanted to kill me."

Xie Yunjian frowned: "You didn't kill Prince Duan, why would he want to kill you?"

Yuan Ziying pursed her lips and stared at her hands in a daze: "Doctors are kind-hearted, but I seem to have killed more people than I have saved..."

Xie Yunjian touched her head: "It's okay. Don't think too much, I'll get some water for you to wash your face."

Yuan Ziying lowered her head and hummed softly.

Xie Yunjian turned and walked out.

Yuan Ziying looked up at his back, her eyes deepened, and her mouth pursed slightly.

Xie Yunjian, what role did you play by my side all those years?

Xie Yunjian soon came back and walked in with a basin of water.

Yuan Ziying got up and washed her face, then walked to the window with her clothes on, looking at the dark night outside the window: "Xie Yunjian, how long do you think it will take for Her Majesty to conquer Beiliang?"

"Given Beiliang's current situation, about a year." Xie Yunjian judged, "Although Beiliang has just experienced a civil strife, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and its overall strength should not be underestimated."

Yuan Ziying nodded: "Then we won't go back to Yongguo for the time being."

Xie Yunjian was surprised: "Why?"

"I want to stay in Beiliang to help." Yuan Ziying frowned, "If His Majesty encounters a more difficult opponent, I will poison him with poison."

Xie Yunjian's expression was subtle: "This shouldn't be easy, because you can't enter the military camp and get close to the general."

Yuan Ziying said calmly: "We can always find a way."

It doesn’t matter whether she can help Her Majesty the Queen. What’s important is that she can’t return to Yong Kingdom for the time being. What if someone really can control her behavior and orders her to kill Her Majesty the Queen while she is sleeping? What should she do? manage?

She can only go back after she retrieves her sealed memories and makes sure no one can control her.

Xie Yunjian looked at the slender figure standing in front of the window, and always felt that there was an invisible distance between the two, making it impossible for him to see through what she was thinking.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Your Majesty is at the border, don't you want to go back to report that you are safe?"

Yuan Ziying shook her head: "We won't go back for now. The spies in Beiliang are all looking for our traces. If we show up, it will ruin His Majesty's plan."

Xie Yunjian said nothing more, as if he acquiesced in her decision.

We continued on the road for the next two days, and finally arrived at Jiangcheng on the third day.
