The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

The atmosphere in the imperial study became increasingly tense. No one had expected that just after they dealt with the pirates, they would receive news that the Beiyue army was gathering at the border. The Dirong tribe in the west had already harassed Xichu and released poisonous insects. The ministers were all nervous about the sudden news. They all expressed their opinions and discussed countermeasures.

Right Prime Minister Hong Zhuoqi was furious when he heard Song Tianqi's words that Beiyue Border Town was not important. His face turned cold and he walked forward.

"Your Majesty, the 200,000 troops of Beiyue are gathering outside my border city, ready to go to war with my Western Chu at any time. General Ouyang in my border city only has 100,000 troops. At this time, the border city is in danger, and the Southern Chu State in the south will also be ready to move. I think we should dispatch 200,000 troops to reinforce, and food and grass must be brought along.

As for the western border, although the Dirong tribe is fierce, General Xue's army has 100,000 soldiers, which is more than enough to deal with the Dirong army of only 50,000. If we want to deal with poisonous insects, we should send some doctors who can poison and doctors who can detoxify, and bring more herbs to the western border."

"Your Majesty, I think Prime Minister Hong is right. The Beiyue border should not be underestimated." Imperial Censor Zhu Anyu said anxiously.

"Father, my second uncle's western border is also an important place. We must send reinforcements this time. Although my second uncle has an army of 100,000 guarding the western border, the great leader Di Rong led his troops to attack my Western Chu border. Although they have only 50,000 people, they are ferocious, and they also have terrible poisonous insects and snakes to deal with my army. It is also connected to Southern Xinjiang and Danyan. Once these two countries take action against us, then..." Chu Chenyu said hurriedly.

The emperor's face darkened when he heard Chu Chenyu's words.

"Your Majesty, I believe that both sides should send reinforcements as soon as possible." Xue Conggui said with a serious face.

The emperor looked at the ministers below and frowned, saying, "Prince Jing and General Su have gone to the East China Sea and haven't come back yet. Now our troops are scattered everywhere. It may be too late to transfer them to the East. And how can we lead the troops there?"

Chu Chenyu's eyes sparkled as he looked at his father and said, "Father, the Crown Prince is very good at fighting. I think the Crown Prince should lead an army of 200,000 to the border town to support General Ouyang."

Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao looked at Chu Chenyu, who had a calculating look on his face, and sneered, “Why, Second Royal Brother, it seems that you want to bring reinforcements to the western border to support your second uncle.”

"Brother Crown Prince, I really want to go to the front line. Unfortunately, my leg disease has recurred in the past few days."

At this time, the generals from Zhenyang City and several other places near the capital were notified by the emperor and hurried to the imperial study.

General Peng, the commander of the garrison in Zhenyang City, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to lead your troops to support General Ouyang."

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "I approve. General Peng, listen to my order. I order you to immediately select 50,000 elite soldiers from your army. The prince will arrange for 50,000 elite soldiers from the Kyoto Guard Camp and the Jingyong Army. You are to take a total of 100,000 troops and set off immediately tomorrow. There must be no delay. The second batch of reinforcements will be sent later." In fact, this was something the emperor had arranged long ago.

"Yes! I will obey your command!" said Peng Hai.

"Your son obeys your order!" said Prince Chu Chenxiao.

The emperor added: "Master Gu from the Ministry of War, listen to my order. Go and organize an antidote immediately. The imperial physicians and doctors who have research on poisonous insects and snakes, please wait for orders."

"Wei Chen takes orders."

Xue Conggui looked at the emperor's arrangements and a smile flashed in his eyes.

……

In Kyoto, undercurrents were also surging at this time.

Last night, Chu Chenjing, Ning Zhenwu and others sneaked into Kyoto City and broke into the strange house that Qiao Yidao and others discovered was secretly connected to the Xue Mansion.

Finally, Ning Zhenwu and his men returned to his general's mansion quietly.

Chu Chenjing brought Chu Feng to Lengsha Pavilion. Lengsha Pavilion's intelligence network had already figured out these things clearly.

Leng Hu, the leader of Lengsha Pavilion in Kyoto, was very excited to see Chu Chenjing coming back, and quickly reported to him, "Your Highness, I have gathered the Beiyue army at my border. This is a deal between Beiyue's third prince Bei Jinqi, Prince Yan, and Chu Chenyu. As for what the deal is, our people in Beiyue are still investigating. Now the competition among the princes in Beiyue is getting more and more intense..."

"What about Di Rong? Have you found out?"

"Your Highness, the Di Rong sent troops to me because the chief of the Di Rong tribe, Ji Gui, and General Xue colluded secretly. I don't know what kind of deal they made, but the Di Rong soldiers harassed my Western Chu territory and released poisonous insects and snakes. Now the people in the Western Territory are suffering. His army pretended to resist, and usually they chased them after they robbed food and other things in my Western Chu and ran away."

Chu Chenjing heard this and slammed his palm on the table. "These traitors, if I find out the truth about this, I will not let them off."

"Your Highness, here is the most important information. General Xue is no longer at the western border. His troops there are also missing a lot of people. The person in charge there now is his son, General Xue, Xue Boxin. Yesterday, Leng Jiu said that he seemed to have seen General Xue and one of his men outside the city, but he couldn't find them no matter how hard he looked."

"Well, I understand. You don't need to look for me anymore. Let everyone come back today and wait for my order."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

After Chu Chenjing had arranged everything in Lengsha Pavilion, he returned to Prince Jing's Mansion in the city.

In the morning, Ouyang Yunyao, Xia Yan, Xia Fei and Wei Lei disguised themselves and drove into Kyoto City, and quietly returned to Prince Jing's Mansion.

When they arrived at Yunqing Courtyard, they heard Xiao Cui in the courtyard chattering about how the princess had forgotten about them. "Xing'er, next time, we two should never believe the princess' words again. The princess said she would be back soon, but it's been so long and she doesn't even think about coming back."

"Yes, next time, Princess, we will follow you wherever you go. Yan'er and Fei'er are so happy this time, following you for such a long time."

Ouyang Yunyao and two maids were outside the courtyard listening and laughing. The three of them walked to the gate of the courtyard. Xia Yan walked up to Xiao Cui and Xing Er and asked, "Excuse me, is this where Princess Jing lives?"

Xiao Cui and Xing Er turned to look at the three people who were asking questions outside the door. "Yes, who are you?"

"Our young lady is a friend of Princess Jing, and she is here to see Princess Jing." Xia Fei also looked at Xiao Cui mischievously.

"Friend of Princess Jing, why have I never seen you before? Which mansion are you from? How did you get into Prince Jing's mansion?"

Xiao Cui asked in confusion. She wondered why the servant at the door would let a stranger into the house so easily?

"Yes! Who are you and why didn't anyone bring you in?" Xing'er also said that the guards in Prince Jing's mansion were very strict and it was impossible for ordinary people to be allowed in.

"What happened to you? It was your guard at the door who let our young lady in." Xia Yan whispered as she watched the two men look nervous.
