“Uh-huh?” An Jiuyue smiled. “Jiyun, isn’t your appetite a little too big?”
Was he trying to take over the eastern border too? Where did this man get his appetite?
No one could lead troops to fight on the eastern border. If the 18 Stockaded Villages at the southern border fell into the old Emperor’s hands, he would definitely send Qian Jiyun’s army to the eastern border!
In contrast to the southern border that Qian Jiyun had guarded for many years, the old Emperor would feel that it would be easier for him to control the Zhan Yun Army when deploying them to the eastern border.
Meanwhile, at the southern border, the 18 Stockaded Villages with no clear allegiance would be promptly brought under his control. It was killing two birds with one stone. There was nothing better than this.
“Isn’t handing such an important task to Prince De a little overkill? Will the old Emperor believe it?”
The 18 Stockaded Villages would temporarily cooperate with Prince De as long as she wrote a letter to them. Elder Huang would help her arrange everything.
However, would anyone really believe that Prince De could take over the 18 Stockaded Villages?
If word got out, wouldn’t that sound a little ridiculous?
“No one might believe it, but the old Emperor would,” Qian Jiyun said with a smile.
The old Emperor coveted control of the 18 Stockaded Villages for far too long. If an opportunity presented itself after years of longing, he would not hesitate to seize it. Prince De was his son. He might not trust anyone, but he would believe his son.
“After what happened with Prince Sui, he will be more certain that Prince De can do the job assigned to him.”
He already had one stupid son. Even if he could not believe this, he had to give himself confidence. He had to let everyone know that not all his sons were as stupid as Prince Sui.
An Jiuyue was speechless.
She knew little about the old Emperor’s mindset, so she would go along with whatever Qian Jiyun suggested. As long as the old Emperor believed it, she did not have to care about anything else.
“Whatever you say is what it is. You arrange for someone, and I’ll get Elder Huang to contact him and settle this. But, Jiyun, if you don’t go to the eastern border personally, will…”
“No.” Qian Jiyun shook his head.
He was confident about that.
If his subordinates could not even handle something like this, they could go home and farm. Why would they follow him?
“I’ll send Yan Shen personally.”
“Sounds good.” An Jiuyue nodded.
As long as they could make arrangements without delaying them from entering other planes, everything would be fine.
A few days later, on the way to Ding Nuo Academy…
An Jiuyue’s carriage was surrounded by a group of men in black. She was speechless at their menacing aura.
“We’re on the official road! He has a lot of guts to send people.”
Grinning, she rested her forehead in her hand and shook her head. She lifted the curtain and looked at the men in black, curiosity shining in her eyes.
First, he deliberately sent people to cause trouble for the two kids at Ding Nuo Academy. Then, he summoned Qian Jiyun to the palace for a meeting and sent people to intercept her while she went to Ding Nuo Academy alone.
“How weak do you think I am?”
“Master, what should we do? Send them away?” Wei Na asked.
An Jiuyue lowered the curtain and asked Wei Na, “What would you suggest otherwise?”
Was she supposed to drag this out and let them capture her to threaten Qian Jiyun into playing a high-stakes game with them?
