The news of the excavation of the boundary mountain made the whole country very shocked.

"It's a big deal. The boundary mountain has been dug up!!"

The news came, causing a sensation in the whole Dihua country.

The people of Dihua country were still immersed in the joy after the harvest meeting, but the news that the boundary mountain had been dug up shocked the people.

The boundary mountain of Dihua country, which is the boundary between Dihua country and Zhao country, is a layer of Luan mountain peaks. The mountain road is steep and it is difficult for the carriage to travel.

There are many large and small mountain roads, which are crisscrossed and vertical, making it easy for people to get dizzy when they walk in.

The most important thing is that the boundary mountain has a lot of miasma and poisons, and people who are not familiar with the road are easily poisoned.

For all these reasons, outsiders who enter Dihua Country will be stopped by the boundary mountain, and then they will naturally think that Dihua Country is poor and bad.

In this way, the boundary mountain has become a natural barrier for Dihua Country.

Now, the boundary mountain has been dug up, and the natural barrier of Dihua Country has disappeared, and the true face of Dihua Country will be seen by the world.

"Who did this?! We Dihua people just want to live quietly in our own homes, don't we have this right?!"

After hearing the news that the boundary mountain was dug up, the people of Dihua Country were gnashing their teeth.

Dihua Country is a country with many ethnic groups. Some people's ancestors were exiled to Dihua Country during the Zhou Dynasty, some people came here from other countries to escape, and some people were born and raised in Lingnan...

People from all over the world mixed together, and after constant running-in, it became today's Dihua Country.

Under the leadership of the emperors of the two dynasties, they have become accustomed to this kind of quiet and natural life without fighting with the world.

But now, life here is going to be destroyed!

"Your Majesty, the spies investigated and found that the people who dug the boundary mountain were the army of Wu Country!"

In the court, the words of the general made everyone gasp.

Everyone knows that Wu Country is a force that respects martial arts. It has ended the situation of the war among the princes and unified the land of China.

It was speculated before whether Wu would invade Dihua. Everyone thought that Wu would not want a place like Dihua, which was "poor and barren" and "barren and barbaric", and would at most use it as a place for exile.

But everyone guessed wrong. Wu had no intention of letting Dihua go.

"What is this for? We Dihua people live in seclusion. No one has ever gone out except to pay tribute to Zhao in exchange for resources..."

"The army is approaching. I heard that after digging the boundary mountain, cavalry can come in. From a distance, it's as scary as a dark cloud pressing down on the city."

"We Dihua people can't stand the war. Dihua only has guards, and it's hard to fight against the opponent's sophisticated weapons."

"..."

The officials were in a mess, and their expressions were as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly.

Situ Kong sat in silence on the chair, his thoughts were very confused.

He was also panicked. As a male emperor of a small country, he had too much responsibility to bear, especially in such a situation where a large army was approaching.

Any word he said would affect the future of Dihua Country.

Situ Kong really didn't know how he had offended Wu Wangji. The other party didn't say a word and directly approached with a large army. This was too domineering and arrogant.

"Your Majesty?"

"Ah? Please speak, my dear."

Situ Kong was panicked, and everyone could understand that at this critical moment of life and death, as the head of the country, who could not be panicked?

"Your Majesty, should we fight or surrender?"

The officials fell silent, and all their eyes were focused on Situ Kong.

Now it was meaningless to talk about anything. There was only one question before them,

War or surrender?

This question made Situ Kong breathless. He didn't dare to speak as relaxed and natural as usual, because any word he uttered would determine the fate of Dihua Country.

"You, what do you think?"

"We..."

The officials looked at each other, "Your Majesty's meaning is our meaning. No matter what choice Your Majesty makes, we will obey."

"If Your Majesty wants to fight, I believe that our whole country can be fearless. If Your Majesty wants to surrender, we will also obey, but this will undermine Your Majesty's majesty."

The Imperial Censor added, "Now the people of Dihua Country are waiting for Your Majesty's decision!"

"Your Majesty, I advocate war!"

The general who had not expressed his opinion just now said loudly, attracting the attention of the people present

People looked over.

"General, what are the chances of winning?"

Situ Kong looked at the tall and strong woman and asked.

"No chance of winning."

"No chance of winning..."

That's right, how could there be a chance of winning.

Situ Kong sighed in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Wu Linyue is cruel and ruthless, and mentally deformed. She likes to humiliate others for entertainment. If Your Majesty surrenders, she may not kill the people of Dihua, but she will definitely humiliate Your Majesty."

The general clenched his fists, "Your Majesty, are you willing to be humiliated?"

Willing to be humiliated...

Situ Kong fell into silence again.

"You go down first, let me think about it carefully."

"Yes."

The officials looked at Situ Kong with complicated eyes and left uncomfortably.

In this world where women are respected and women are strong and men are weak, it is such a cruel thing to put pressure on a man.

"Huh."

In the empty court, Situ Kong looked at the light coming in from the door in confusion. It illuminated the court, but it could not sweep away the gloom in his heart.

Today, his eyes were no longer as lively as before, full of holy vigor that could infect people.

"Captain of the Guard, let's go have a meal, just you and me."

Eat?

At this time?

The captain of the guard had been guarding Situ Kong. When he heard Situ Kong say such words, he couldn't react for a while.

"Let's go."

Situ Kong stood up shakily, jumped twice, and tried to make his steps look more stable.

"Yes!"

The captain of the guard followed Situ Kong and accompanied Situ Kong to the market.

Although people were panicked by the news that the boundary mountain was dug up, the market was still very lively.

"Your Majesty!"

"Two servings of fish meal."

Situ Kong waved to the fish meal owner with a smile on his face.

"Okay!"

The boss worked diligently, while Situ Kong was watching the pedestrians around him. He nodded in response to the greetings from the citizens.

"Your Majesty, the boundary mountain has been dug up. I heard that the Wu Kingdom army will be able to come in soon. Your Majesty, should we fight or surrender?"

The crowd couldn't help but gather around and ask what their king meant.

They were very close, some squatting, some standing, surrounding Situ Kong, and there seemed to be no distance in status.

Situ Kong looked at the citizens in front of him, among whom there were two familiar faces. They were the women who performed very well in catching ducks at the harvest meeting. I think they should have spent the wedding night with their men at this time.

Situ Kong smiled and asked, "What do you mean?"

"What we mean..."

The women looked at each other, "Your Majesty's meaning is our meaning."

Their words were the same as those of the officials.

Situ Kong paused, his heart burning at this moment, "Some of you should be in love, and some should have just got married not long ago, right? If I want to fight, aren't you afraid of death?"

"Your Majesty, we are all afraid of death, but as long as Your Majesty decides, we can all die!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, my man is already at home preparing to poison the weapons, and he will stab her even if he dies!"

"If Your Majesty wants to fight, wait for them to come in, and then we will burn the mountain with fire and die with them!"

Hearing what everyone said, Situ Kong's nose was a little sour.

Everyone knew that if there was a real war, Dihua Country would not be able to win, so they all thought of a way to die together.

"You go back first, I think I have made a decision."

Situ Kong smiled and pushed everyone.

"Your Majesty, you can't make us wait too long. You must tell us the decision before tonight so that we can prepare early."

"Okay, okay, I will tell you before tonight. Go back quickly and don't let your man wait anxiously."

Watching these young people leave, the fish meal was just served.

The fragrance entered his nose, Situ Kong took it and blew it, and drank a mouthful of fresh soup.

"It tastes good."

"Hey, this is all your Majesty's teaching. If it weren't for your Majesty, the people of Dihua wouldn't know that there would be such delicious food."

The fish meal owner scratched his head and smiled.

Make the best use of everything, remove the spine of the imported fish and boil it, add the flour exchanged from Zhao State before to make vermicelli, add spices, and make fish meal.

This is all what Situ Kong taught these people.

"Captain of the Guard, you eat it too!"

"Yes."

"How does it taste?"

"Hmm~ Your Majesty, it's very delicious."

"Would you like to try it?"

Just eat it."

"Uh, Your Majesty, such delicious food, you must want it!"

Situ Kong looked at the captain's silly look, his eyebrows curved, with a little smile.

He already knew what to do...
