Chapter 198 Going to war again?
"Young Master Chen, have your bodyguards ever been to Beihai?" the son-in-law asked.

"Yes."

"Then you met that pirate?" the son-in-law asked again.

"Correct."

"That's right!" said the concubine.

"Is this related to what the pirate and the son-in-law said?" Chen Wenbin frowned.

"I made inquiries all the way, passed through many places, and finally found out that it was your colleagues from the Escort Bureau who escaped from the hands of pirates. Young Master Chen, I heard that you used a terrible weapon at that time, didn't you?"

Hearing this, Li Yao frowned, and asked, "My son-in-law, who did you listen to?"

"Mrs. Chen, don't worry, we have all made unannounced visits along the way. It is obvious that I am looking for my mother, but I am secretly inquiring about this news. No one else knows. What I didn't expect was that these two things really coincided. We've arrived."

Only then did Li Yao breathe a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that the bomb she made would bring death to the Chen family.　
"My son-in-law, what is the purpose of your visit this time?" Chen Wenbin frowned.

The son-in-law thought for a while, and said, "Young Master Chen, to tell you the truth, news came from the border that Zeguo was about to move again. There was news that a very lethal weapon had appeared in Beihai, and the emperor got it. After getting the news, they gave me a secret decree, asking me to bring the maker of this weapon to the border, so as to avoid more casualties of soldiers.”

Save more casualties of soldiers?What about the casualties of Zeguo soldiers?Li Yao frowned and looked at Chen Wenbin.

Chen Wenbin gave his daughter-in-law a calm look, and then said to the son-in-law: "My son-in-law, in the current situation, I don't think Zeguo needs to do anything for the time being, because we have already lost to Zeguo in the last war, and we are fighting every year now." I don’t think they would be so stupid as to launch a war first if they want to give Zeguo hundreds of thousands of shi of grain.”

"Your analysis is good, but the treasury of our Dayu Kingdom is empty, and it is no longer possible to give Ze Country hundreds of thousands of shi every year." The son-in-law said, that's why the emperor asked him to secretly inquire about the person who made this weapon. The emperor wanted to do it. It was so well prepared that they attacked Zeguo in one fell swoop.

"What does the son-in-law mean?"

"Naze Kingdom is already in a state of unrest, the emperor means to strike first!" said the son-in-law.

"Isn't it just hundreds of thousands of shi of grain? Countless people must be sacrificed?" Li Yao asked. Could it be that 10,000+ or ​​even tens of thousands of people have to die because of the hundreds of thousands of shi of grain?A person's life is not worth a stone of food?
"Mrs. Chen, for people in some places, a stone of food is worth more than a person's life!"

"Is there really no other solution?"

"Madam Chen, if there is any hope, the emperor will not let his soldiers die."

"But son-in-law, we really don't know about the weapon you mentioned." Li Yao said that she made the bomb to save her husband. She didn't want people to use these weapons to kill people, and she didn't want to become an executioner herself.

"You don't know?" The son-in-law was stunned.

"Yes, maybe it's because of people's rumors that the son-in-law misunderstood." Li Yao said with a smile.

"Is what you said true?"

"Don't dare to lie to the son-in-law." Li Yao said without changing her face. Since the son-in-law can find them, others can also find them. Li Yao is afraid that the bomb will bring disaster to the Chen family, so she must not let others know about the bomb. She made it.

The son-in-law looked at the two disappointedly, how should he explain this to the emperor?
