As the Yu Kingdom prospered, the surrounding countries were also watching. On the birthday of the Emperor of the Yu Kingdom, all the countries sent their congratulatory teams to the country.

The purpose of their visit was first to establish trade with the State of Yu, and secondly, to find out whether the legendary rumors were credible or not.

When they arrived at the palace of Yu State, they were immediately enchanted by the carved beams and painted buildings. Thumb-sized pearls were strung together and hung on the walls as decorations. Night-shining pearls even covered an entire street.

Wherever you look, you see treasures. Wherever you reach, you see prosperity.

However, the shock that the Yu Kingdom brought to them was not limited to this. When they finally saw the birthday boy, the Emperor of Yu Kingdom, they were shocked beyond words.

When I saw this emperor a few years ago, he had a head full of white hair and wrinkles on his face that could kill a mosquito. But the man in front of me now has white hair and a flat face, without any wrinkles. He looks more than 30 years younger.

The delegation below secretly discussed: "Are the legends true? Eating mermaid meat can really make you immortal."

"Isn't the one above a living example? When I saw him a few years ago, I thought I was going to attend his funeral. But look at him now, he has become a young man again."

"You saw him a few years ago. I am more afraid. I saw him last month. At that time, he had to be carried by others when he walked. But now, he walks briskly. I can expect him to have a few more children."

"What? One month? Such a big change? Is this elixir really so effective?"

"You guys, don't worry about whether the rumors are true or not, just take a look at these beads. In our country, these are all heirlooms, but here, they are just decorations. Even for these treasures, the military expenses for this trip are enough."

Everyone nodded in agreement, believing that this expedition would only bring profits and no losses.

After a brief discussion, the envoys made the final decision on the plan they had been planning for nearly a year.

Then, each country returned to its own position, looking at the prosperous Yu Kingdom, and imagining the beautiful scene after dividing it.

Lu Changning, who had been hiding on the beams and following Yu Nian, naturally heard these words, and a smile appeared on his lips. The day of driving the mermaid army from the bottom of the sea to the shore was finally coming, and he was finally free.

After the banquet, envoys from various countries refused the emperor of Yu’s request to stay and began to rush home.

However, someone he didn't expect appeared.

"Yu Nian, what is he going to do?" Xiao Hong looked at Yu Nian who had knocked the envoy unconscious, and wondered, "His relatives in Yu Country bullied him so much, why did this kid still want to save them?"

Lu Changning didn't understand. He had very few memories of his parents and couldn't understand this feeling at all. But he didn't stop it. He just watched quietly from the tree. He watched Yunian knock out and kidnap the envoys who were returning home one by one.

Xiao Hong asked: "Aren't you going to stop him? Yu Nian is trying to stop your plan now."

Lu Changning shook his head: "No need to stop them. As early as the moment they entered the Yu Kingdom's palace, war was inevitable. A prosperous empire maintained by commerce, without a reliable army, will eventually become the target of other countries' erosion. Before the banquet even started, envoys from many countries sent people back to their hometowns. Everything Yu Nian is doing now is just to give these countries a pretext for attacking."

"Ah, is it possible? Wouldn't Yunian be harming the Yu Kingdom with good intentions? Wouldn't he regret it later?" Xiaohong felt a little reluctant.

Lu Changning really didn't care: "Everyone has to pay the price for what they do. This is true for me and him too. He will be sixteen this year. He is no longer a child and has to face the world on his own. I can't always block him from my side. He has to walk the rest of the way by himself. I just need to watch over him and make sure he doesn't get hurt."

Is Yu State big? Not really. It takes less than a month for envoys from various countries to travel back and forth. But for three consecutive months, envoys from various countries did not return home. Suddenly, the news that Yu State imprisoned envoys spread throughout the continent.

In order to rescue their imprisoned envoys, various countries began to organize their armies, and war was about to break out.

It was not until this time that Yu Nian learned about this matter from his father and realized that he was in trouble.

"Are you going to attack the Yu Kingdom?"

The father had no time to pay attention to his son. He put on his armor, settled his wife and daughter, then turned around and walked outside.

Yu Nian has caused trouble, and the envoys are still imprisoned in the courtyard outside the city. What should we do now? The countries are about to fight.

Yunian was very confused. After much thought, he had no choice but to rush to the palace and report the matter truthfully.

Yu Nian knelt on the ground and told the whole story. Then he felt a kick from his father. His chest was painful and his mouth was full of blood.

The Emperor of Yu had a gloomy face, and the pearl in his hand was crushed into powder under his great strength. "Now, send someone to release the envoy and take good care of him. Send someone to negotiate peace. No matter what terms they want, agree to them. And tell them that we will send the culprit to their hands, and they can kill or shave him as they please."

Yu Nian, who was kneeling below, raised his head in shock when he heard the punishment he was going to receive. Then he slowly lowered his head. Yes, he had caused such a big disaster, even if he was cut into pieces, it was what he deserved.

But at this time, the eldest prince of Yu State stood up. This biological father of Yu Nian not only did not plead for his son, but was even dissatisfied with the punishment. He took the initiative to propose: "Yu Nian has done many evil things. If we hand him over to other countries like this, they will inevitably think that our hearts are not sincere. Why not let him suffer a little first, and then send him over. Maybe it will calm the anger of other countries."

Yu Nian looked at his father in shock. This was his biological father. It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything at this time. But he actually made such a suggestion in order to distance himself from him. Is he still a father?

The Emperor of Yu State also felt that it was inappropriate: "This is your eldest son, are you really willing to give him up?" As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was looking at the child.

The eldest prince knelt on the ground: "After all, he is my child, so I am naturally reluctant to give him up. But I can still distinguish the importance of giving up one of my children in exchange for the peace of Yu Kingdom. Besides, Yunian's mother and I separated five years ago. It was agreed that this child would be raised by his mother, but now I didn't expect that he would harbor evil intentions to harm my Yu Kingdom. It is really abominable. Please Your Majesty, I really don't know the sinister intentions of this child."

Yunian collapsed on the ground, tears in his eyes, but he laughed. He laughed at himself for being so ridiculous, and actually regarded this man as his father. Five years ago, didn't he give up himself and his mother for power? Why was he still hoping that he would choose him now?

Yunian felt like a joke. He had just broken up with his master for the sake of Yu State. Now his father was stabbing him and he was about to be sent away. He regretted it a little and wanted to find his master. But his master was at the bottom of the sea, a place he could not reach even if he drowned.

I will never see Master again.

When this thought came to his mind, Yunian felt a sense of fear in his heart. This fear was even more frightening than when he heard that he was going to be cut into pieces. He seemed to never see his master again. He was about to be handed over by his father.

Looking towards the sea, he wanted to shout out his master's name and tell him that he regretted it. But the sea was so deep, how could his master hear him?

After all, Yu Nian was the grandson of the old emperor. He softened his heart and did not agree with the eldest prince. Instead, he ordered the other princes: "Hurry up and contact your father-in-law, tell him that a war has started, and hope to get help from the mermaids."

Several princes also realized the seriousness of the matter, and finally stopped fighting among themselves. Instead, they turned around and went together to contact their father-in-law.
