She now sees how persistent Jing Anping is.

But after these two contacts with Zhuoran, his persistence is nothing to be afraid of.

However, she didn't expect that after the martial arts competition, "trouble" would find her.

Mu Heng hurriedly sent someone to call her back to the Duke of Mu's Mansion, and called her to the study alone, saying that after the morning court session, His Majesty had specifically told her privately that many officials had recently submitted memorials to him, wanting to marry her, and asked her what she thought about this matter.

Feiying frowned: "How did Daddy respond to His Majesty today?"

"Dad thinks that the matter of marriage should be decided by you. If there is a young man you like, Dad will definitely act as a matchmaker for you in front of His Majesty."

After hearing this, Feiying's brows relaxed: "Dad, Yan'er is not planning to consider marriage for the time being."

"Okay, as long as Yan'er doesn't want to, no one can force you."

As soon as Feiying stepped into Xiaoyao Palace, Jing Anping came towards her in a hurry.

"I heard that His Majesty wants to grant you a marriage. Is this true?"

"I'm telling you, you are not allowed to marry without my permission!"

Feiying didn't know why the news turned out like this when it reached him, but it was interesting to see his anxious look.

"Whether I get married or not is my own business. Isn't your meddling a bit too much?"

Jing Anping still insisted: "Yinglan, don't forget that you took the initiative to become my shadow guard. Didn't you say before that if you want to be a shadow guard, you would be a qualified one? Are you giving up so soon?"

"Of course not."

"Since you don't have any, as long as you are still my shadow guard, your marriage must be approved by me, otherwise I will deduct your monthly salary!"

After saying these harsh words, Jing Anping turned and left, leaving Feiying standing there confused.

Jing Anyu left everything to Mu Heng to explain. She thought the matter was over, but she didn't expect that young masters from official families would come to her every day with generous gifts to ask for her hand in marriage, including some of her defeated men.

At first she seriously refused, but later there were too many people, so she simply hid in Duke Mu's Mansion or Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion and refused to go out.

Jing Anping was not happy that she was alone with others, so he kept pestering her all day long.

"Wait a few more days. When His Majesty is free to issue an order, you will be free."

"How long is a few days? Isn't the martial arts competition over? Why is he still so busy?"

Jing Anping said as he poured tea: "I heard that he is planning to send troops to neighboring countries recently, and is busy mobilizing troops and arranging the transportation of food and fodder."

"So...wait, why is your majesty suddenly going to war? I remember that the border has been quite peaceful in recent years. Could it be that the neighboring country is showing signs of unrest again?"

Just now Feiying was lazily imitating Yinglan's posture, half leaning on the stool, but now she tensed her nerves and sat up straight.

Jing Anping didn't think much about it and continued, "Probably not. I don't know the details. Anyway, the food and grass have been collected, and the troops have been deployed. We are just waiting to send them out."

Feiying stood up and walked out the door.

She seemed to vaguely know why Jing Anyu was going to hold a martial arts competition.

As the daughter of a great general, Zhuoran must have a better understanding of the inside story of the war.

She needed to confirm her guess as soon as possible.

Jing Anping saw her reaction and quickly chased after her.

"Yinglan, where are you going?"

"Go find Zhuoran and ask him clearly!"

"Wait a minute. I will go with you."

After meeting Zhuoran, Feiying simply exchanged some pleasantries, and then asked her what she wanted to know, and soon got the answer from her.

Sure enough, Jing Anyu's decision to take the initiative to send troops to the neighboring country was a sudden one.

The reason is that the population of Fengchang State has been growing in recent years, and the demand for resources such as land and food has increased. In order to meet future needs, it is necessary to expand the territory as much as possible in advance.

Feiying listened to the reasons and anyone would find them reasonable, but only she knew that his sudden increase in aggressiveness must be related to his personality collapse.

Before, she had seen him fooling around in the casino with Queen Rong Xin, and had mistakenly believed that his personality was collapsing in the same direction as Rong Xing.

Now it seems that she was influenced by preconceived ideas.

Jing Anyu's plan to send troops to invade was almost a foregone conclusion, and she couldn't stop it directly.

All she could do was to make Jing Anping give up his idea of ​​usurping the throne as soon as possible to change everything now.

But without spiritual power to assist, it would be very difficult.

In order to save these people, she could only make the worst-case plan in advance and restart the small world before the situation became more serious.

At the end of their conversation, Zhuo Ran also told her that she would take the initiative to ask the emperor for permission to lead troops to the border with her father to expand the territory. They would set off in a few days. When she was victorious in the rebellion against the dynasty, she would ask her for martial arts lessons again.

Even though Feiying was in a very heavy mood, she still sincerely wished her a triumphant return.

Zhuo Ran finally went to the battlefield with the army, and Jing Anyu's work came to a temporary halt.

When he learned about Feiying's current troubles, he immediately issued an imperial decree, saying that no one was allowed to disturb her by asking for the hand of Princess Huguo, otherwise if he knew about it, they would be punished according to the law.

After his order, all those in the court who had their own ulterior motives gave up in disappointment.

Feiying also returned to her rare peaceful days, and continued to try her best to persuade Jing Anping to give up the idea of ​​usurping the throne every day.

No fruit.

In less than a month, Feiying learned from various sources that General Zhuo Peng had suffered repeated defeats, resulting in the loss of Tianshou Pass, and that the original army of 100,000 had been completely routed and all contact had been lost.

When Jing Anyu learned the last message from the border, he was so angry that he slammed the table on which he was drinking tea and broke it with one hand. Then he fell into a period of sorrow. Now that the war had been provoked by him, it was no longer a simple matter for him to solve by simply withdrawing his troops.

Although there are still 50,000 soldiers in the court who can go to war at any time, there are no suitable generals to lead them, and going there would be like sending themselves to death.

Now that the enemy is coming with great force, he really can't think of anyone whose military skills are more powerful than Zhuo Peng.

Feiying naturally couldn't bear to watch Fengchang Kingdom completely deviate from the original trajectory of the small world and be destroyed so easily. So, with the help of Jing Anping's persuasion, she met with Jing Anyu and volunteered.

Jing Anyu was deeply moved to see that someone could stand up and recommend himself at such a critical moment involving the survival of the country.

But leading troops into battle is a big deal. A wrong decision may lead to a total loss. You must think carefully and act cautiously.

"Brother, Mu Yan, I understand your request. Please go back today. I will give you a reply after I have carefully considered it."
