Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Lu Fengjin was still trying his best to endure.

He's not a young lad anymore; he shouldn't act frivolously and impetuously.

"Ah Li, although we have had some misunderstandings in the past, we have known each other for many years. Today, I don't want to quarrel with you. Can we have a proper talk?"

He still really disliked Chu Yueli; her previous methods were far too vicious, hurting the two people he cherished most.

But he was, after all, a man who clearly distinguished between public and private matters, and he put aside matters of jealousy and rivalry in the face of important things.

"The Ink King is currently in the Northern Frontier with an army of 300,000, and the number of his auxiliary troops is still unknown. The only certainty is that the entire Northern Frontier is now under his control."

"We don't know how big or mysterious the Northern Frontier is. The Southern Frontier battlefield is already extremely terrifying, but the Northern Frontier is ten times more dangerous than the Southern Frontier! Yet he managed to reclaim the entire Northern Frontier."

Just from this point alone, Chu Yueli should be able to imagine just how powerful Lu Beimo is!

"But when King Mo returned to the court this time, he did not bring back a single soldier from the northern frontier. He only brought his own Yan Yun Eighteen Riders and the three thousand elite soldiers he had taken from the royal family."

Chu Yueli was not a pretentious or willful person. In the end, she herself could not figure out what Mo Wang was going to do.

“Your Highness, it seems that Prince Mo’s actions don’t indicate that he is planning anything for the time being. You should know that Your Highness also has your own army outside the city, which is ten times the number of Prince Mo’s personal guards.”

Lu Fengjin also couldn't understand this.

Which of those princes didn't have some troops under their command?

The main army was stationed in border towns, but also had its own outposts near the capital. Although the number of soldiers was not large, there were at least 20,000 to 30,000 personal guards.

The Emperor tacitly approved of this.

The prince's personal guards have the responsibility to protect the capital when it faces difficulties.

However, in order to balance the power of all parties, the emperor did not allow their personal guards to enter the city. Therefore, the personal guards of each prince were stationed outside the city walls near the capital.

If you want to get it back, it will take at least half a day, and at most a day.

Not only Lu Fengjin, but also his second and third brothers.

The power of the Ink King is now probably the greatest among these princes.

However, his power was all in the northern frontier, and the personal guards he brought back were only three thousand men.

Lu Fengjin couldn't understand this, and he was afraid the other princes couldn't understand it either.

No one knew what Lu Beimo was thinking.

"The more one cannot understand, the more terrifying King Mo appears."

Lu Fengjin looked at Chu Yueli and said, "Ali, we have been together for many years. We know each other very well. If you are not with me now, are you going to conspire with the unpredictable Fourth Prince?"

"I'm afraid you're asking a tiger for its skin, and in the end, it will devour you until there's nothing left but bones."

The Duke's Mansion still has 100,000 Chu family soldiers! She knew in her heart that if those 100,000 Chu generals fell into his hands, it would be like adding wings to a tiger for her fourth brother.

"Only by joining forces can we resist King Mo. Otherwise, he will defeat us one by one, and then we will both die without a burial place."

"Ah Li, I hope you won't be too willful!"

Chu Yueli pursed her thin lips and remained silent.

Zisu, who had been serving him for a long time, couldn't help but mutter, "The prince already has someone else by his side. How does the prince hope to join forces with my young lady?"

“Perilla.” Chu Yueli glanced at her.

Zisu pouted and didn't say anything more, but in her heart, she was still unconvinced.

Lu Fengjin had considered this issue when he came.

Seeing Zisu say this, he spoke his mind: "You've used so many tricks and caused such a stir, all just to tell the world that we've been together for a long time?"

He lowered his eyes, seemingly hesitating, and after a long while, he said, "In that case, we can still get married as planned, but... I promised Yuan'er that I would marry her on the same day, and after the marriage... I will not touch you for at least three years."
