Chapter 324: The Invasion of the Golden Scale Nation

Chu Li stammered and replied, "It was the palace banquet that night when I was drugged."

Ye Hanting continued to ask, "It's you and me..."

"Yeah." Chu Li was pressed against Ye Hanting's face and opened his mouth wide. He was so embarrassed that he almost dug out the three-bedroom and one-living-room apartment with his toes.

Ye Hanting breathed a sigh of relief, that was good.

"That was my first time too." Ye Hanting stared at her blushing cheeks.

Chu Li's eyes flickered, and he immediately avoided the issue, "I was drugged that night, I don't remember it, let's change the subject."

The two of them suddenly mentioned their first time, and suddenly the atmosphere became ambiguous.

Ye Hanting was pleased to see the shyness of a girl on her face.

He deliberately moved closer to tease her, "Why don't we try it again tonight?"

Chu Li felt an itch in his ears and pushed Ye Hanting away.

"Stop it, I'm telling you it's an accident, and an accident means once... Even if it's twice, there won't be a third time."

Ye Hanting smiled lightly and said nothing.

"What are you laughing at?" Chu Li glanced at him.

Ye Hanting poured a glass of water for Chu Li. Chu Li was feeling thirsty, so he took a big gulp.

Ye Hanting looked at her, recalling the magical world she had just mentioned. No wonder Chu Li said that her ideal was such a world.

Chu Li put down the cup and said, "I suddenly miss my other three masters."

Ye Hanting poured her another glass of water, "No wonder the four venerables of Tianwu Mountain wanted you to be their apprentice, and the turtle named Rabbit was so excited to see you."

Chu Li smiled lightly. Ye Hanting believed everything she said. She began to lie, "I am the reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens. Do you believe me?"

Ye Hanting's face slowly approached, and Chu Li saw his eyes as bright as stars staring at her, "Fairy from the sky, fairy, please accept me."

Chu Li saw Ye Hanting's extremely handsome face gradually approaching, and pushed him out with force.

Ye Hanting supported the table with one hand and said teasingly, "The fairy's hands are really strong."

Chu Li laughed secretly, wondering who this guy learned this from, and started to flirt with her.

No, it's dangerous for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room.

Chu Li stood up and pushed Ye Hanting out.

Ye Hanting stood outside the door, his eyes full of heartache. He could empathize with Chu Li's life experience.

He finally understood why Chu Li was unwilling to accept him easily.

Her father abandoned her and her mother, and she would not easily believe a man's promise.

It seems that I need to give her some time to accept myself.

If she is willing, he wants to have a home with Chu Li that will never be separated and be a husband who will never betray her.

The next day, Princess Yaohua went to meet Ye Hanting privately.

"Brother Jun Ling, I will be going back tomorrow. After returning to Da Xia, I will help you investigate what happened back then."

Ye Hanting stopped her, "Yaohua, be obedient. When you go back, pretend that you have never seen me. I have made arrangements. Someone is investigating what happened back then."

Yao Hua was a little sad. "It would be great if you were here. I don't like Brother Jun Yuan. He looks gentle and kind, but I always feel weird about him and can't get close to him."

Ye Hanting smiled slightly, "Then you can play with An Rou."

Yao Hua snorted coldly, "Don't mention her. On the surface, she is respectful to me and gentle, which will please the Royal Grandmother, but she speaks ill of me to those noble ladies behind my back."

She looked a little uncomfortable. "I'm sorry for speaking like that about your sister."

Ye Hanting smiled faintly, "Nothing, I don't like that home anyway."

Princess Yaohua approached and asked, "Brother, have you ever doubted that you are not the son of the emperor's uncle?"

Ye Hanting's eyebrows turned cold, "Let's not talk about this matter anymore."

"Have you thought about your future with Chu Li?" Yaohua was concerned about Brother Jun Ling.

Ye Hanting smiled slightly, "There are some things that I can't tell you now, but one day in the future you will understand."

Princess Yaohua looked at Ye Hanting reluctantly, "Brother, I am a little reluctant to go back."

"I will secretly send someone to escort you back to Daxia, and we will meet again." Ye Hanting said firmly.

Princess Yaohua looked reluctant, "Yes, we will definitely meet again, Brother Jun Ling."

......

The tenth day since Jun Yaohua left Da Chu.

Chu Yue entered a dilapidated temple wearing a veiled hat.

A middle-aged man in a black robe with a disfigured face beneath the hood.

He looked at Chu Yue, "Princess, have you made up your mind?"

Chu Yue said respectfully: "Military Advisor, I have been forced into a corner. Chu Li has humiliated me time and again. I will not be able to rest until I take revenge."

Qian Cheng smiled slightly, "Any price?"

Chu Yue nodded, "Yes, as long as I can become the queen of Great Chu, I can sacrifice anyone."

"Okay, I will help you spread the news of Long Moyang's disappearance as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Military Advisor." Chu Yue promised, "If this can be accomplished, I will definitely make you the Prime Minister."

Qian Cheng raised his hand, "It's not that simple. I can only try my best to help you."

Chu Yue showed a determined smile. As long as Qian Cheng took action, there would be absolutely no problem.

After she walked out of the ruined temple, she thought of Mo Yun.

She sent people to look for Mo Yun, but after so many days, there was still no trace of him.

Chu Yue felt a little regretful. She had indeed gone a little too far that day and hurt Mo Yun's self-esteem.

She clenched her palms. Mo Yun was too stingy. He was going to leave her just because of such a small matter.

As expected, none of the men are reliable.

Instead of hoping the man will come back, she should stay in a high position and wait for him to surrender.

......

Half a month later.

In the Golden Palace, Emperor Qingyuan looked at his ministers with a heavy face.

Minister of War Xiao Cang nodded and said:

"The eldest prince of the Golden Scale Kingdom, Long Moyang, disappeared in the territory of Da Chu. The Emperor of the Golden Scale Kingdom repeatedly violated the border under the pretext of looking for Long Moyang."

When Chu Yue heard this, the smile on her lips disappeared in an instant. Everything was going according to her plan.

"Fortunately, General Xie Jingchuan and General Jiang Ge had taken precautions and repelled their harassment five times."

"Yes, they set up a camp five miles away from the border between the two countries. Soldiers are constantly gathering at the border. The Emperor of the Golden Scale Nation said that if the Great Chu does not hand over Long Moyang, he will kill his way into the Great Chu Imperial City!"

All the ministers were shocked.

"This, this, this, this...the war is about to start again!"

"How can we fight a war when the treasury is empty?"

"Their eldest prince went to Tianwu Mountain to become a disciple and disappeared. What does it have to do with us?"

"That's right, we can't fight this battle."

"They have already fought to the border. We can't just stop fighting if we want to."

When Emperor Qingyuan heard the discussions among his ministers, he raised his hand to signal them to be quiet, and the entire hall fell silent in an instant.

He said in a deep voice: "This time, the Golden Scale Nation was obviously deliberately provoking and looking for an excuse to start a war with the Great Chu."

"Since we have to fight, we must scare them so that they dare not invade Da Chu again. I have decided that the Crown Prince will lead the army in person, with General Pingxi as the backup, to annihilate the Golden Scale Army in one fell swoop!"

Chu Li's eyes darkened. A war was about to begin.

She glanced at Chu Yue, who looked very proud, and asked her to be her backup.

Haha, Chu Yue will definitely stab her in the back.
