Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension

Chapter 136: Cannon Fodder Gold Targeted by Slaves 19

*

In the Wei State court, the atmosphere of today's morning court session was particularly heavy, and there was no other reason.

Soon after the new emperor of Xiao State ascended the throne, he declared war on their Wei State.

On both sides of the dark-bricked hall were hundreds of civil and military officials. The middle-aged Emperor Wei sat high up on the throne, looking worried. He then listened to the official's report:

"Your Majesty, the new emperor of Xiao State has said that if Wei State does not want to be destroyed by Xiao State's cavalry, it only needs to agree to two conditions..."

"Tell me."

Emperor Wei sighed heavily. The Wei State had just finished a war with the Great Desert, and now they had finally made peace, but then an even more difficult State of Xiao arrived.

"First, our Wei State needs to pay tribute to the Xiao State at the beginning of each year."

The official said this tremblingly, and everyone in the court understood what he said.

Prime Minister Yun stood aside in silence, probably meaning that Wei State would become a vassal state of Xiao State.

"Second..."

The official said hesitantly, then glanced at Prime Minister Yun, and then said with a stiff upper lip:

"I want Yun Wu, the only daughter of Prime Minister Yun of Wei State!"

When these words were spoken, everyone in the court was stunned. They could understand the first condition, but they were confused by the second condition.

But they also thought that the new emperor of Xiao State used to be a slave to Prime Minister Yun's daughter.

Could it be that the new emperor is holding a grudge because he suffered so much humiliation when he was a slave?

Prime Minister Yun had a bit of surprise on his face, but he still asked the official calmly.

"You want my daughter? What does that mean?"

"This... Lord Yun, I am not quite sure. The envoy told me to send the Yun family's daughter to the Xiao Kingdom's palace. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing..."

The official spoke tremblingly, and everyone fell into deep thought.

The attitude of the new emperor of Xiao State is unclear. If he is fond of Yun Wu, the daughter of the Yun family, then they don't have to listen to him and send Yun Wu to Xiao State. They can directly capture Yun Wu and hold her hostage to turn the tables on Xiao State.

But from what they heard verbally, they were more inclined to believe that the new emperor of Xiao State was holding a grudge against the Yun family. Now that he had ascended to the throne, he would definitely force them to personally hand over the enemies whom they had insulted in the past and then torture them.

In that case, if they agreed to these two conditions and sent the Yun family member over to him for disposal, in accordance with the new emperor's wishes, they would be able to protect the entire Wei State.

This was exactly what Xiao Rongjing wanted. He originally wanted to ask Yun Wu to marry him directly, but then he changed his mind and thought that Yun Wu was still in Wei State, and he was afraid that some ministers might become interested in him and use her to threaten him because of his love for her.

Once Yun Wu enters the Xiao Kingdom’s palace, she will no longer have such concerns.

"How can we push this woman out to protect ourselves? I will lead the troops to fight! I hope Your Majesty will agree!"

General Lu, with a rough voice, bowed and stepped forward to speak to Emperor Wei. He was a burly military general, but he was the first to stand up when the civil officials were unwilling to speak.

General Lu also nodded solemnly to Prime Minister Yun. He had been supported by Prime Minister Yun in the past. Now that the matter involved the daughter of his benefactor, how could he not stand up?

"Humph, General Lu, it's easy for you to say that, but have you ever thought about whether you can win or not?"

A first-rank civil servant in a red robe spoke up, advocating that the two conditions proposed by Xiao Guo be agreed to.

"We just fought with the desert a few days ago. Now our national strength is weakened and our troops are insufficient. Xiao is a strong country to begin with. If we fight, Wei will not end well."

What the civil servant said was true. General Lu had the will but not the strength. Although he was a military general, he had no chance of winning this battle.

"I want to hear what Mr. Yun thinks. After all... she is his only daughter."

Emperor Wei sighed heavily and said that he was incompetent in government affairs, let alone military strength, and the only plan at the moment was to accept the conditions proposed by the Xiao State.

"I hope Your Majesty will allow me to think about this again when I return today..."

Prime Minister Yun stepped forward and bowed, but he was determined in his heart because Emperor Wei would definitely not agree to go to war with the State of Xiao.

The Xiao State is famous for its strong military force. In addition, the Wei State is now weak in military strength. If they were to fight, they would undoubtedly lose. By that time, I am afraid it would not be as simple as just submitting to the Xiao State.

After the morning court session ended, Emperor Wei also kept Prime Minister Yun in the palace for a private talk.

In the exquisitely renovated boudoir in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chun Xing had already told Yun Wu everything about Xiao State's declaration of war and the two conditions it had proposed.

But now, the delicate and beautiful daughter of the prime minister's family has become more and more charming, but her beautiful eyes are still a little dazed.

"Hmm... Does this mean that I'm going to meet Xiao Rongjing?"

Chun Xing nodded solemnly, but there was no rejection on Yun Wu's face, and her glass-like eyes even showed some interest.

"It just so happens that I haven't seen him for a long time. Why didn't he tell me his identity before? He lied to me and left without saying goodbye. Humph... I have never been to Xiao Country, so I don't know if it's fun..."

"Miss, don't even think about playing around. He is now the new emperor of Xiao State, not the lowly slave he once was."

Chun Xing said quickly, looking at her good young lady who was young and inexperienced with a worried look.

Now the young lady can't bully him, so he is the only one who can bully the young lady. Chun Xing is even worried that Xiao Rongjing wants to take the young lady back to Xiao State, perhaps to avenge the humiliation he suffered when he was a slave.

But the young lady was an extremely kind-hearted person. After learning that Xiao Rongjing had become the emperor, she was glad that he was not dead and did not worry at all whether he would deliberately retaliate against her.

"But you also said that if we don't agree, won't there be another war?"

Yun Wu muttered as she spoke, supporting her chin with one hand on the table, and her long, lively eyelashes fluttered twice.

"It would be so troublesome if a fight really broke out. Everything would be fine if I went to Xiao Country..."

"I think what the young lady is thinking about is the delicious and fun things in Xiao Country."

The beautiful daughter, who was young and unaware of the dangers of the world, looked away guiltily as if her secrets had been discovered.

Although Chun Xing was still worried, she had to admit that the young lady was right.

In the current situation, it is impossible to fight with Wei State, and the young lady will most likely go to Xiao State.

I don't know what Xiao Rongjing is planning behind the scenes...

Just then, Prime Minister Yun's voice came from the door.

"Awu, are you really willing to go to Xiao Country?"

Yun Wu raised her head and soon saw Prime Minister Yun, wearing court robes and an official hat, striding in.

Chun Xing bowed and Yun Wu quickly stood up from the couch.

"Daddy..."

Prime Minister Yun touched his precious daughter with a complicated expression. He had heard what the master and servant had just said.

For Weiguo, it was a good thing that Awu was willing to go, but for Prime Minister Yun, he felt distressed and worried.

When I came back from the palace, I met a few people who were on good terms with Cao Guogong. They were all a group of people who came to watch the fun.

Yesterday she was still suspecting that his Yun family was involved in treason, but today she advised him that for the sake of the safety of the country, he should not be soft-hearted and must agree to send his daughter to Xiao State. If Yun Wu did not go, it would be selfish. She changed her face so quickly that he wanted to kill ten of them with one punch.

With such a chaotic government, coupled with the previous incident between Wei Congyu and Duke Cao, he would rather his daughter not stay in Wei State anymore.

However, he was worried that his daughter would really be retaliated by Xiao Rongjing if she went to Xiao State, so he was hesitant and even decided not to let his daughter go to Xiao State no matter what.

But at nightfall, Prime Minister Yun received a secret letter from the secret guard, saying that it was written by Emperor Xiao himself, and Prime Minister Yun would understand it as long as he read it.

He did not make this matter public and started checking letters alone in his study.

When he saw the neat and powerful handwriting at the beginning of the letter - "Father-in-law"? ? ?

Uh...something seems a little wrong.
