Chapter 335: Turmoil in Nanzhao
When they heard that Jiang Yueyang was going to eat Prince Loge's melon, the three people present who could hear his thoughts remained calm and composed.
【Um……】
The system glanced at Prince Loge and said, "This Prince Loge is even more boring than your boyfriend. There's nothing interesting to eat."
Jiang Yueyang could tell this from Prince Loge's cold expression, which showed no emotion at all.
[But...] The system chuckled, [I saw something else.]
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Dear guests, I am here to serve tea."
Jiang Yueyang asked: [What did you see? ]
Guyu subconsciously wanted to open the door, but the third prince waved at him and stood up and walked towards the door.
He opened the door and said something to the waiter, then let someone in.
The waiter from the restaurant came in with tea, put the tea down and stood aside waiting for instructions.
Because Jiang Yueyang didn't like tea, they specially asked for an extra pot of warm water.
The Third Prince's eyes swept over the faces of the sisters Luo Chengluoge and Ayimu. "Guests are welcome. What would you like to eat?"
Luo Cheng smiled and said, "We don't know what delicious food Da Xia has. The guest should follow the host's wishes."
Aimu nodded.
Aina wanted to ask the waiter what kind of food was available, but when she saw Ayimu nod, she puffed out her cheeks and stopped asking.
The Third Prince looked at the waiter and said, "Just bring what I ordered."
"Okay, please wait a moment, sir."
Luo Cheng & Ayimu: ...You've already ordered, why are you still asking?
After the waiter left, the system replied: [The King of Nanzhao is seriously ill and in bed, and Nanzhao is in turmoil.]
The Third Prince paused slightly while pouring tea for himself, and Lu Yunting's pupils shrank slightly.
The Sixth Prince raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Let it be chaotic. The more chaotic, the better!"
Jiang Yueyang raised her eyebrows slightly, "If Your Majesty knew that Nanzhao was in turmoil, he would probably take advantage of the chaos to destroy Nanzhao.
However, a war between the two sides will inevitably result in sacrifices. It would be great if Nanzhao could be completely subdued without resorting to violence.
[Does the host hope that the emperor will send troops to attack Nanzhao? ]
Jiang Yueyang didn't say whether he hoped or not, he just said: "The Nanzhao's evil ambitions are obvious, Your Majesty will not let it go for too long.
War is cruel, but sometimes...war is the only way to achieve peace.
[So... the host doesn't object to Daxia sending troops to Nanzhao, correct?] the system asked.
Lu Yunting poured a cup of warm water in front of Jiang Yueyang, and then poured himself another cup.
Jiang Yueyang hummed, then naturally took a sip of the water in front of her. "I don't object, but I hope we can find a peaceful solution before that."
While listening to Jiang Yueyang's thoughts, the Sixth Prince inquired about Aimu's preferences and tried to ask Aimu out to play alone.
In order to make the atmosphere not too quiet, the third prince also started chatting with Prince Luocheng and the others.
For example, asking Luo Cheng how many brothers and sisters he has, who he is closest to, and why he came to Da Xia...
Only Aina looked at this and that with her hands supporting her cheeks, looking quite bored.
Hearing that Jiang Yueyang was more inclined to peacefully reconquer Nanzhao, the system said without hesitation: [If the host wants to achieve this without bloodshed, then he needs a Nanzhao king who is loyal to Daxia and loves peace.]
At present, the relationship between Daxia and Nanzhao is shaky. As long as one side breaks the friendly window paper, war will be imminent!
The King of Nanzhao had not made any major moves before because he was afraid of the Lu family army and wanted to reserve more strength.
At the same time, he was also waiting... waiting for the Lu family army to rebel... waiting for civil unrest to break out in Daxia.
But things are unpredictable, and he never expected that he would fall seriously ill before that.
Daxia had no legitimate reason to attack Nanzhao.
After hearing what the system said, the third prince secretly wondered why there must be a King of Nanzhao?
After drinking the water in his hand, Lu Yunting put his hand under the table, held Jiang Yueyang's hand, and rubbed it gently.
At the same time, he was also thinking quietly, judging from the behavior of those people in Nanzhao.
After the death of the King of Nanzhao, no matter who sits in that position, even if he loves peace, he will not give up the autonomous management rights of Nanzhao.
Jiang Yueyang lowered her eyebrows and glanced at the two clasped hands, her eyes curved as she said, "Little Melon, from what you said, do you have a suitable candidate?"
[Of course.] The system was smug.
【Who? 】
[Far away, yet so close. 】
Jiang Yueyang subconsciously looked at Luoge, [You are not talking about Prince Luoge, are you? ]
[That's right!] The system explained, [Prince Loge does not want to go to war with Daxia and hopes to maintain the status quo.
But the third prince Luo Lie and most of the leaders of Nanzhao were very ambitious and attempted to plunder the territory of Daxia.
Therefore, since the King of Nanzhao fell seriously ill, the third prince Luo Lie sent people to assassinate Luo Ge many times in order to sit on the throne.
Prince Loge nearly lost his life in a recent assassination attempt, but fortunately he met an envoy team heading to Daxia and was rescued by Luo Cheng.
After some discussion, Loge decided to take the risk and go to Daxia to seek the emperor's support to help him take the throne of Nanzhao.
Jiang Yueyang thought for a moment and said, "According to what you said, the fact that Prince Loge came to Daxia without permission shouldn't be known to the people in Nanzhao, right?
Otherwise, the people of Nanzhao would suspect him of betraying Nanzhao and causing him to lose his right to inherit the throne.
[Yes, that's why he has to hide his identity.]
[Uh...] Jiang Yueyang's expression was hard to describe. [Since he wanted to hide his identity, why didn't he change his appearance?
I don't think he's the brainless and conceited type, and don't tell me no one in the envoy's team knows him.
Lu Yunting and the third prince were confused about the questions raised by Jiang Yueyang.
Loge hid his identity from Daxia, but it seemed that he did not hide his identity from Nanzhao.
The system said: [Because he trusts Luo Cheng, and because he is never a soft-hearted person.]
【How to say? 】
He killed all the people Luo Lie had planted in the envoy's team. The system said casually, "It's a long journey from Nanzhao to Daxia, so it's not surprising that a few people died from illness or robbery along the way."
Jiang Yueyang praised him generously, saying, "Luoge's move is indeed decisive and ruthless. But... can he convince His Majesty?"
[That depends on his own ability.] The system changed the subject, [However... I think even if he convinces the emperor, he probably won't be able to become the King of Nanzhao.]
【Why? 】
