Chapter 222

King of Zhou and King of Chu were both shocked.

Yuan Army's spies had already reached Jing Country?

And Xiao Yunzhou had predicted it? No, it wasn't Xiao Yunzhou, it must be a master from Jing Country!

Soon, King of Zhou and King of Chu saw that the soldiers appearing inside and outside the city gates were all old, weak, sick, and disabled, looking dispirited, with many missing arms and legs.

The two kings were dumbfounded.

This Xiao Yunzhou was truly cunning, knowing that the Yuan Army had sent spies, he deliberately put on a show for the Yuan King!

King Zhou Ling was sweating profusely, thankful that he had stopped in time and hadn't opposed Jing Country.

Xiao Yunzhou was indeed a deep and scheming old fox!

[Oh, without my imperial father, this year's Oscar for Best Actor is not worth watching.]

[Well, well, this is a strategy to make the Yuan Army lower their guard. I've certainly grown smarter~]

Xiao Chuchu's praise came swiftly.

Xiao Yunzhou looked pleased, finally turning to King Zhou Ling beside him, "Brother Zhou, could I ask you to delay spreading the news about Princess Ronghua and Yuan Kai's capture?"

King Zhou Ling was startled, "Alright."

If they wanted the Yuan King to lower his guard, naturally they couldn't let them know what had happened in Jing Country.

"Then, Brother Zhou, I'll bid you farewell here," Xiao Yunzhou parted ways with King Zhou Ling.

Three days later, when the Yuan King received news that King Zhou Ling had refused to let Yuan pass through, he was furious. He immediately mobilized his troops, entering Jing from the side of Sheng Country.

Even though the Duke of National Defense opposed it, the Yuan King still insisted, "Spies have reported that Jing Country's military strength is sparse, their defenses are lax, their soldiers old and their horses weak. If not destroyed by Yuan, they will fall to another country's hands."

"I am merely following heaven's will!"

Early the next day, 100,000 Yuan troops set out.

On the third day, King Zhou Ling received news from his spies that 100,000 Yuan troops were marching swiftly towards Jing Country from the right side of Sheng Country.

King Zhou Ling hurriedly sent a message to Jing Country, regretting not bringing Princess Ronghua back to his country. After some thought, he immediately ordered the Crown Prince of Zhou to lead 10,000 troops to aid Jing Country from the rear.

On the same day, Princess Yunwu, who had received a secret letter from the King of Chu, used the Tiger Token to dispatch 20,000 Chu troops to assist Jing Country. Sanda, the Khan of Wu Yun Country, sent 5,000 cavalry to help.

At dusk on the sixth day, the Yuan Army reached the border of Jing Country. The Crown Prince of Zhou, King of Chu, and Xiao Yunzhou stood together on the city wall to observe.

According to the message, 100,000 Yuan troops were at the border, but now the Crown Prince of Zhou and King of Chu saw Xiao Yunzhou as calm as Mount Tai, his face composed.

They both began to truly admire Xiao Yunzhou.

However, only Xiao Yunzhou himself knew that he wasn't calm, but listening to the fairy's thoughts!

[Oh, is it going to break out into war so quickly? Is this for real? I thought my butterfly effect would bring changes, but instead, it seems to have brought forward the crisis that would have hit Jing Country three years later.]
