Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant-Chapter 387

The Women Behind the Scenes

“Your Highness Yue, you want to attack Wei Country soon, right? Our prime minister said, if Yue Country needs financial resources, Mo Country can support you!”

But Yue’s second prince only smiled. “Actually, this time Mo Country has helped us a lot, so how could we ask for Mo Country’s money? Besides, after we win this war, those neutral people of my country might completely stay with Mo Country. By then, our two countries will be one family!”

Ye Xiaolang listened. He grinned as he said, “That would be the best, we’ll be one family in the future!”

The second prince thought of something and told Ye Xiaolang, “Come to speak of it, we have to thank Ye Mu for all of this. If she didn’t come to advise us, we wouldn’t have made up our mind like this. Also, I heard Ye Mu has gone to Zhao Country, how is her situation there?”

Ye Xiaolang said, “Xiaojie said, as long as our success here reaches there, it will be a big help to Zhao Country. She said she’ll make Zhao Country have internal strife, and I believe she’ll succeed!”

The second prince laughed. “I also believe, the so-called women are not inferior to men, she’s definitely the most outstanding among women!”

Ye Xiaolang nodded. “I’m going to give her a letter, I hope she completes the layout soon. This way, the five countries’ alliance will not be worth the fear.”

Having said that, the second prince suddenly reminded Ye Xiaolang with a grave expression:

“In the letter, remember to tell Ye Mu, Wei Country once told us, all of this is deployed by a person called Min Liang. He claims to have a worldly talent himself, deciding to use his own strength to compete with the world’s most outstanding person, and he’s from Yan Country. You must tell Ye Mu this because I’m guessing Min Liang is in Mo Country.”

Ye Xiaolang nodded. “I will tell her about this. If that person is really in Mo Country, I’ll definitely capture him!”

The battle here had just calmed down, and a letter had been quickly sent to Ye Mu. At the same time, a lot of people sent out news: Yue Country reneged!

Before anyone responded, Yue Country beheaded all of Wei captives, before turning back to attack Wei Country.

Wei Country just received the news about Yue Country’s betrayal when their army had reached the entrance. Yue Country also looked for Yuan’s people in advance to spread the news, said that Yue Country wanted to renege to attack Wei Country.

The moment Yuan’s people heard, it happened to be when Wei’s cry for help came through. Yuan’s monarch immediately used the excuse to lend their army, dispatched them, and wantonly invaded Wei’s territory!

At this moment, if Yuan Country didn’t help, Wei’s territory would most likely fall into Yue Country. How could they allow that?

Wei’s people had wanted to look for Yuan Country to borrow their troops, but unexpectedly, what came was a wolf! So under the two countries’ converging attack, Wei’s people panicked. Not many days passed when the country was destroyed.

And at the peak of Wei Country’s battle, Zhao Country’s internal strife also sparked.

Zhao’s people heard Yue Country had reneged and destroyed Wei Country in one go, invading the majority of Wei’s lands. They were all uneasy, so they signed a petition, requesting the emperor to call off the battle!

But Zhao’s monarch had invested so much military strength in this battle and financial resources. How could he give up now?

An official in the courtroom said, “Your Majesty, it’s still possible to stop now, it’ll be too late later! Mo Country isn’t easy to push around. Mo Country and Yue Country are cooperating together now, and Wei Country is also destroyed. If we don’t stop, the next one that will fall might be our Zhao Country!”

Zhao’s monarch stood his ground. “Although one of our five countries is destroyed, there are still four countries left. Four against two, how could they possibly win! How could you all be speaking so negatively before the ending?”

But before Zhao’s emperor could finish his words, an urgent battlefield report came.

“Reporting—Your Majesty! Our allied forces are losing ground to Mo’s army! They’re already retreating three hundred li! General Liu said, the rations and weapons will soon be used up, they need the royal court’s support once more!

“And Mo’s monarch is extremely cunning. This war to defeat him, I’m afraid it’s very dangerous, more military support might be needed!”

More military support meant Zhao Country and Yan Country needed to borrow Yuan’s and Li’s military strength again.

They had already borrowed some, but for Zhao’s and Yan’s own interests, they didn’t dare to borrow a lot.

But right now Yuan Country was fighting with Wei Country. The only one that could lend them troops was Li Country.

However, when Li Country had said to dispatch tens of thousands more people, Zhao and Yan both refused. To look for them again right now to borrow troops, who knows what the outcome will be, and if they’ll make it in time.

Besides, once they started attacking, money would gush out like water flowing. Zhao Country wasn’t as wealthy as Mo Country. After a while of battle, they would be void of strength!

And they needed more provisions and weapons now. Where should they get them?

This urgent battlefield report made Zhao Country’s situation more ruffled. One side was a war investment that was like a bottomless pit, while another was to immediately stop to prevent further loss.

There were currently many officials. At the encouragement of some officials, all of those in the pro-war faction turned into the peace faction.

Zhao’s monarch can’t take it! So he asked all of them to withdraw, and said he will think of a way himself.

When this news came out, Ye Mu only felt amused.

She said to Zhao Mingyu who had changed into gorgeous attire, “It should be your turn to appear next, you might have a way. After those officials go home, everything goes according to our plan to agitate the family members. The mood in the courtroom has changed. Even if Zhao’s monarch insists on having his way, under so much opposition from the aristocratic families, he won’t hold out too long.”

Zhao Mingyu smiled. “Growing up, anything else won’t do, but rabble-rousing is the most useful! Ever since I saved them that once, those officials have been deeply grateful to me.

“They go home and dare not reveal their identities. If they still want to be officials, the only thing they need to do is to prove they’re right! As long as they prove this, they will have the opportunity to return to the imperial court, so they naturally will encourage their family to help us. Father should declare these people innocent soon.”

Ye Mu smiled. “Your big brother should be considered your next obstacle. When the time comes how do you plan to deal with him?”

Zhao Mingyu coldly smiled. “This is easy. As long as I agitate the aristocratic families to put more pressure on my father, he will not admit he’s wrong. By then, I’ll secretly send someone to agitate father to make him sacrifice for the good.

“Father then will definitely present big brother to calm the aristocratic families’ fury, so in my eyes, big brother is already a dead man.”
