After Jiaojiao got pregnant, her husband who died in the war came back

Pei Jingyi glanced around and lowered his voice to explain to Xue Zhao:

"If Canglan Country really didn't want to cooperate, there wouldn't be any chance for negotiation. Since we are already here, it means they are also interested. Wait, they are more eager to fight against Daxia than we are."

After hearing what he said, Xue Zhao finally recovered and said, "Damn, this grandson is so insidious."

In the palace.

Pei Jingyi left suddenly, catching Shangguan Hao off guard.

If the Zhao State had bargained, the matter could still be negotiated. But now that the people have left, it is Canglan State that is being held back.

Shangguan Yan, the monarch of Canglan State, was quite impatient. "What's going on? What if they really leave? You go and fight this battle for me!"

Prince Shangguan Jing curled his lips and looked at Shangguan Hao, looking like he was enjoying the fun, and said coldly:

"Some people always think they are smarter than others. My third brother is really good at business after returning from the palace, but he is still not so good at using troops."

"Daxia used some witchcraft to harm the people of Canglan. It is urgent to eradicate it. It was not easy for Zhao to help. We were able to solve the problem in one go, but you messed up the matter."

At the end, Shangguan Jing blurted out: "If I didn't know, I would have thought you were from Daxia."

When Shangguan Hao heard the prince putting the blame on him, his face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

He said in a steady voice: "Royal brother, you can't say that. Who am I working so hard for? It's for our Canglan Nation."

Having said this, he turned to Shangguan Yan:

"Father, in my opinion, the Zhao army came here with great fanfare, how could they just leave like that? Besides, this is our territory, what are we afraid of if we wait at home?"

"We have to keep dragging this out and see how long they can last. Linzi is full of mines. If they can be used by Canglan, then not only will we not make money, but even Zhao will be controlled by us."

Shangguan Jing disagreed with this statement. He was quite logical and said, "It's a waste of time to talk about this and that. In my opinion, we should solve the problem of Daxia as soon as possible. That's the important thing to do."

While his two sons were arguing, Shangguan Yan was a little hesitant. Although Daxia's problems did need to be solved, the benefits mentioned by Shangguan Hao were real and indeed tempting.

After thinking it over, Shangguan Yan decided to take a gamble: "Okay, let's wait and see if they will give in."

After returning to the East Palace, Shangguan Jing was very angry.

He kicked over the stool and said angrily:

"Damn it, am I the crown prince now or is Shangguan Hao? He is so proud of himself, talking nonsense and misleading the public."

Shangguan Jing's mother, Empress Lü, was sitting beside him. In stark contrast to his anxious and angry expression, her expression was very calm. She just drank her tea slowly and said:

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's useless for Shangguan Hao to be in such a hurry. He is conquering the world for you."

Having said that, Shangguan Jing still felt uneasy, especially every time he saw Shangguan Hao, he always felt eerie.

Facing Empress Lü, he did not need to hide anything and spoke directly about his concerns:

"Mother, you still remember Shangguan Hao when he was little, right? He hunched his head every day, didn't like to talk, and couldn't even fart when he kicked three times. How come he suddenly wanted to do business and did so well? Could it be that he was guided by an expert?"

After hearing this, Empress Lu smiled slightly and said, "Have you forgotten what her mother's status is? What's the use of making money again? It's useless."
