Since the Queen Mother was the mastermind behind this incident, she decided to first check the letters and other materials between the Queen Mother and the Yu Mansion.

Ouyang Yunyao was worried that someone would come to invite her for dinner, so she didn't stay in the space for long. After leaving the space, Xiaohong invited her to the dining hall in the main courtyard shortly afterwards.

Today, Ouyang Yunyao's third brother Ouyang Yunhan also returned home. Because of his bravery and good fighting skills, he has been appointed as the commander of the Ouyang Army. After everyone finished dinner, Ouyang Yunhan led Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing to the study in his courtyard.

At this time, the study was decorated with candlesticks, and the candlelight was dim. After the three of them sat down, Ouyang Yunhan told Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao about the detailed recent situation of Beiyue Kingdom. "The old emperor of Beiyue Kingdom has been bedridden for more than a year, and his princes have been fighting among themselves. This is something that everyone has witnessed. Since the old emperor fell ill, the princes have been fighting more fiercely, which has indirectly led to the easing of the war against us in the past two years."

"Now it's the Crown Prince's faction, the Third Prince Qi Wang's faction, and the Seventh Prince Yan Wang's faction, right?" Chu Chenjing asked. Although Chu Chenjing didn't know much about the situation in Beiyue Kingdom before, he had asked people to find out some information in the past few days.

"Yes," Ouyang Yunhan continued, "our people also found out that they have another king, King Yan, and Yan Hutu also wants to get a piece of the pie."

"Oh? Interesting!" said Ouyang Yunyao.

"The most powerful ones right now are Crown Prince Bei Jinheng and Flame King Bei Jinyan."

He continued, "The prince is the son of the late queen. He is a powerful character and has fought against my eldest brother. However, he has a good character and is said to be kind to the people of his country. His maternal grandfather was the old Taifu, the teacher of the old emperor, and his eldest uncle was a general of the cavalry.

King Yan is the youngest son of the old emperor. His mother is his favorite concubine, and his uncle is General Huwei, who is as powerful as the general of the cavalry. Bei Jinyan is only seventeen years old now. He knows a little kung fu and is a free and easy person. He himself seems to have no intention of the throne, but the old emperor favors him.

The third prince Bei Jinqi is a ruthless guy, cruel and ruthless.

The King of Yan, Yan Hutu, is even more ruthless. He helped the old emperor conquer and unify the entire Beiyue, and was named the King of One Word by the old emperor. His status in the court is unmatched. He has six sons, two of whom are legitimate sons. He also has a daughter, who is also born to his queen. According to our spies, he initially wanted to cultivate and support a prince, but now that he sees that the old emperor is seriously ill, he has the idea of ​​replacing him.

He is very warlike, fierce and cruel, a war maniac, and has always wanted to annex our Western Chu State. He has repeatedly suggested to the old emperor to wage war against our Western Chu State, and many years ago he had always led troops to fight against our Western Chu State. "

"Yes, father has tried to negotiate with them many times, but they have always ignored him," said Chu Chenjing.

"It's because the Western Chu State is not as strong as them. Our border is so long, and many countries are ready to take action against us," Ouyang Yunyao analyzed.

"Yes, but our soldiers will always defend our homeland to the death. But now someone wants to bring a wolf into the house in order to seize power and usurp the throne. I will never agree to it," Chu Chenjing said indignantly.

"Don't worry, my lord, our border guards will never agree to that.

Eight years ago, we lost nearly 3,000 soldiers in the battle of Chiyan Mountain, and General Li also died on the battlefield. That battle was so tragic! Despite being seriously injured, my uncle stayed on the battlefield. He was not afraid of life and death, and held the belief of dying together with the old King of Yan. In the end, he led the army with perseverance to repel Beiyue's army and defeated the old King of Yan!

My uncle was finally carried back by the soldiers. After returning, he was in a coma for three days and three nights, but fortunately he finally survived. "Ouyang Yunhan was so excited that tears fell unconsciously.

Ouyang Yunyao searched the original owner's memory. No wonder her parents sent her to live with her grandparents in Yaowang Valley when she was seven years old.

Chu Chenjing remembered that he was only in his teens at that time, and he had heard about this battle, and that the Western Chu Kingdom won in the end, but he did not expect that the war would be so tragic. He had a new respect for General Ouyang.

This also reminded him of the scene where his grandfather and uncle died in the battle in southern Xinjiang. His uncle's body has not been found until now. At that time, 40,000 Western Chu troops fought against 100,000 Southern Chu troops. In the end, Western Chu was defeated and had to lose three cities. In recent years, Southern Chu has been ready to attack them again. His eldest brother and he have grown up, and finally recaptured the cities they lost in the battle.

Ouyang Yunhan came back to his senses from his grief and continued, "Since the old King Yan was injured, he has not gone to war again. Now it is his third son Yan Ruian who leads the troops at the border, and King Qi and the fourth prince Bei Jinwei also often appear here."

Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing also gradually understood the situation in Beiyue Kingdom.

The three chatted for a while, and when they stood up to leave, Ouyang Yunhan reminded them, "Prince Jing, you must treat my little sister well!"

"Third brother, don't worry, I will definitely treat Yao'er well."

Ouyang Yunyao smiled: This guy is really outgoing, he even called my third brother.

……

As it grew darker, the two walked along the path towards Yaoguang Pavilion.

Chu Chenjing walked one step in front of Ouyang Yunyao, and when he reached a pond in the mansion, he turned around and stopped.

Ouyang Yunyao didn't notice that Chu Chenjing suddenly stopped and bumped into him. Chu Chenjing turned around and hugged her. "Yao'er, are you okay?" Chu Chenjing's gentle whisper came from above her head, and his "boom boom boom" heartbeat sounded in her ears. Ouyang Yunyao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and her face became hot. Ouyang Yunyao shook her head. What happened to her?

"Why did you stop suddenly?" Ouyang Yunyao took a step away from him and asked in a reproachful manner.

Chu Chenjing suddenly said, "Yao'er, Yao'er, I, I will always treat you well." Before Chu Chenjing finished speaking, his face turned red. Fortunately, the moonlight provided cover, so Ouyang Yunyao didn't see it. What she saw was just a helpless Prince Jing, completely different from his usual cold and aloof appearance.

Chu Chenjing walked and thought, he didn't know where the feelings came from. His feelings for Ouyang Yunyao, her Yao'er didn't know at all, he was afraid that one day his Yao'er would quietly slip away from him, he couldn't be passive anymore, he decided to take the initiative to let Yao'er understand his feelings.

In the past two months, Ouyang Yunyao has gradually felt Chu Chenjing's kindness and protection towards her. Although she is an independent soldier, she is still a girl after all. She still enjoys his unique care and protection for her, and her heart is gradually moved.
