The best ring

After Qi Feng vented his anger, he did not insist on sending troops to Yangyu Pass. He was angry, but he was not completely confused.

In the current situation, it is indeed not appropriate to send troops to Yangyu Pass. Even if they did not suffer a disastrous defeat at Shanling Pass and Linshui City was not at risk of being surrounded, he could not send troops to Yangyu Pass.

Because the army occupying there now is not their Black Water Kingdom’s army, but the Shuiyue Kingdom’s army!

The leader is the most favored second prince of Shuiyue Kingdom, Yelu Hongfei!

Qi Feng can only think about being an enemy of Shuiyue Kingdom. Their Black Water Kingdom does not have that kind of strength.

"Your Majesty, has something happened at Yangyu Pass?" Seeing that Qi Feng was no longer as irritable as before, an official asked cautiously: "Didn't there say that the Shuiyue Kingdom’s army had arrived at Yangyu Pass? Could it be that the Nanping Kingdom’s army is so powerful that it can defeat the Shuiyue Kingdom’s army?"

This is also the same doubt in the hearts of other ministers present.

Everyone now knows that the army of Nanping State appeared at Yangyu Pass and they asked Shuiyue State for help. After Shuiyue State agreed to send troops, the people of Heishui State no longer worried about Yangyu Pass, and even stopped paying attention to it, because they all believed that with the help of Shuiyue State’s army, the danger of Yangyu Pass would be solved, and there was really no need to pay too much attention to it.

But from Qi Feng’s reaction at this time, it seems that there was a big change in Yangyu Pass, otherwise, he would not have such a fierce reaction.

"Humph! Nanping State is just a small country. It was a fluke to win against us. How could they possibly win against Shuiyue State’s army?" Qi Feng sneered.

Even though they suffered a disastrous defeat at Shanling Pass, in Qi Feng’s heart, their Heishui State’s strength was still stronger than Nanping State. The reason why they suffered such a disastrous defeat at Shanling Pass was entirely due to Peng Chuan’s personal reasons, and had nothing to do with the strength between the two countries.

"Then why is your majesty so angry, and..." The official couldn't say what Qi Feng had just said to Yelu Hongfei, but everyone present understood what he meant.

"The reason why I am angry is that although the army of Nanping was defeated by the people of Shuiyue, we still lost Yangyu Pass!" Qi Feng said with a cold face, and everyone could clearly feel the anger in his words.

Yangyu Pass was lost?

Everyone was shocked when they heard the news.

Everyone knew the importance of Yangyu Pass to their Black Water Kingdom. It was the first line of defense against Nanping and the strongest line of defense. Now it was lost. Wouldn't their entire Black Water Kingdom be completely exposed under the eyes of the Nanping people? The people of Nanping could attack him anytime they wanted?

However, after being surprised, doubts emerged in everyone's hearts at the same time.

According to Qi Feng, the army of Nanping had been defeated by the people of Shuiyue, so why did they lose Yangyu Pass? Could it be that there are armies from other countries that are planning to attack Yangyu Pass?

Fortunately, Qi Feng did not let them wonder for long, and directly gave the answer.

"After the people of Shuiyue defeated the army of Nanping, they also killed our people! All the generals of Yangyu Pass, including Zhao Guangzhi, have died at the hands of Shuiyue people." Qi Feng said: "He Yelu Hongfei is really cruel. He slaughtered the entire royal family of Nanping before, and now he has killed all the guards of Yangyu Pass. He is even more vicious than the people in the demon world!"

The guards of Yangyu Pass were all killed by the people of Shuiyue?

Everyone was shocked again.

Sun Zhongcai even took the initiative to walk out and said: "Your Majesty, this... Is there any misunderstanding? Although our relationship with Shuiyue has not been very good recently, it is not to the point of killing each other. What's more, the army of Shuiyue went to Yangyu Pass at our invitation to assist General Zhao and others in defending the city. How could they do such a thing?"

After hearing the news Qi Feng said, Sun Zhongcai's first reaction was that this news was false!

The emperor of Shuiyue Kingdom has been somewhat dissatisfied with Heishui Kingdom recently. Sun Zhongcai also knows this, but it is just dissatisfaction, and it is far from the point of killing, let alone the point of fighting.

You know, slaughtering a city defender and then occupying the city is tantamount to declaring war. If what Qi Feng said is true, doesn't it mean that Shuiyue Kingdom is declaring war on Heishui Kingdom?

Sun Zhongcai doesn't believe that such a thing will happen, and he doesn't want to see such a thing happen. Heishui Kingdom is definitely not the opponent of Shuiyue Kingdom, not to mention now, even before. If Shuiyue Kingdom really declares war on them, then Heishui Kingdom will really be finished.

"I also hope that there are misunderstandings, but all of this is true!" Qi Feng said, "The memorial just now was written by a low-level general in Yangyu Pass, and he wrote this memorial at the request of the second prince of Shuiyue Kingdom, Yelu Hongfei! In the memorial, Yelu Hongfei said that Zhao Guangzhi colluded with the people of Nanping and intended to surrender Yangyu Pass and let the army of Nanping attack the hinterland of our Heishui Kingdom. After this matter was discovered by Yelu Hongfei, Zhao Guangzhi also intended to murder him, but was discovered by him again. He took the initiative and killed Zhao Guangzhi and his men, saving Yangyu Pass. In the memorial, Yelu Hongfei claimed that there might be traitors in Yangyu Pass who belonged to Nanping Kingdom, so Yangyu Pass was temporarily controlled by the people of Shuiyue. As for when to hand over Yangyu Pass, Yelu Hongfei did not say, but I can feel that he doesn't want to hand over Yangyu Pass at all. He wants to make Yangyu Pass a part of Shuiyue Kingdom!"

The more Qi Feng talked, the angrier he got, and the faces of the ministers present became uglier. The atmosphere in the entire hall was particularly solemn.

The city was occupied and the territory was lost. It was a shame for all of them. Everyone was very angry about this, but they felt powerless in their anger.

Because the army that occupied their city came from Shuiyue Country, because it was Yelu Hongfei who occupied their territory!

They couldn't afford to offend Shuiyue Country! They didn't dare to offend Yelu Hongfei either.

"Tell me, what should we do about this?" Qi Feng asked everyone.

A city was occupied, and it was a city that was extremely important to them. This matter could not be treated as if it had never happened. They must find a way to solve it.

Send troops to fight?

Not to mention that they don't have many troops to dispatch now, even if they did, they dare not use force against Shuiyue Country.

If they can't use force, then they can only use "civilization".

An official among the civil servants stood up and said, "Your Majesty, for now, we should immediately send people to Yangyu Pass to negotiate with the Second Prince of Shuiyue Kingdom and ask them to withdraw from Yangyu Pass."
