Chapter 196 Return to Support
After Xiao Liu'er and Hua Manxi left, Xie Zhichan continued to look at the map and think in the room.
The ugly old woman brought in the pregnancy-maintaining medicine and watched Xie Zhichan drink it.
The corner of her eye fell on the map in front of Xie Zhichan, she took a look and asked, "Is the Crown Prince's Consort worried about the Nanzhao Kingdom?"
Xie Zhichan nodded: "The Great Jin is now facing external and internal troubles. The surrounding small countries must be ready to move and want to get a piece of the pie. Gaoche, Rouran and Tubo are all in an alliance, and Tubo and Nanzhao are on the verge of breaking up. If the alliance of the three countries cannot be broken quickly, Nanzhao will join in the carnival of dividing the Great Jin, even if it is to prevent Tubo from becoming stronger."
If Nanzhao joins, even if Xiao Liuer goes back and successfully gets Rouran to withdraw from the alliance, the other two countries will not give up, and with Nanzhao added, the western front will still be in danger.
If two of these two countries can stand on the side of Dajin, or stand aside and watch, so that the remaining two countries dare not act rashly, Dajin will have a chance to breathe. "
The ugly old woman looked at the map for a moment and said, "If the Crown Prince's wife is worried about Nanzhao, there is actually a solution."
Xie Zhichan immediately became energetic when he heard this. He took the ugly old lady's hand and said earnestly, "Tell me what you can do, old lady."
The ugly old woman stared at Xie Zhichan holding her hand for a moment, then unbuttoned her outer garment and pulled her middle and inner garments down to below her shoulders.
Xie Zhichan was extremely confused at first, but suddenly, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she saw the snake-shaped mark on the ugly old woman's chest that was almost the same as hers.
She looked at the ugly mother-in-law steadily.
The ugly old woman reached out and touched the snake-shaped mark on her chest, saying, "This mark is the mark of a woman from the royal family of Nanzhao. The little golden snake on your chest was branded on you by me when you were born.
Our Nanzhao was originally ruled by the queen, but unfortunately I was blind and married a vicious woman who stole my throne. She even wanted to kill me despite the fact that I had just given birth to you.
I managed to escape Nanzhao with you, but the pursuers were too close, so I had to temporarily leave you in the home of a farmer in Lingnan.
When I got rid of the pursuers and went back to pick you up, I found that the village where the farmer lived had been flooded and you were nowhere to be found. "
Seeing Xie Zhichan's shocked expression, the ugly old woman was afraid that she would not believe it, so she continued to explain: "Your surname is Meng, which is the surname of the Nanzhao royal family. Your original name is Meng Ayuan. I put a jade pendant on you with your name engraved on it."
Xie Zhichan then remembered the jade pendant that the original owner always wore when he traveled through time.
But after she went to the Northern Frontier, she didn't know where she left it. It was just a jade pendant, so she didn't take it seriously.
Now when I heard the ugly old woman mention it, I remembered the jade pendant. The words "Ayuan" were indeed engraved on it, and I couldn't help but believe it.
So the original owner’s biological mother was actually the former queen of Nanzhao.
But this body of hers was actually that of a princess of Nanzhao, and she should have been qualified to inherit the title of Queen of Nanzhao.
Thinking of this, she excitedly grabbed the ugly mother-in-law and said, "So what is the solution that mother-in-law said to solve Nanzhao?"
The ugly old woman stroked the scars on her face, her eyes flashing with resentment, and said, "Let's join forces, mother and daughter, to take back the throne, and throw that vile man and that vile mother and daughter into the snake cave! Just like they did to me!
I know that bastard, he is greedy. If we don't deal with him, Nanzhao will sooner or later join the war."
When Xie Zhichan saw the scars on the ugly old woman's face, he finally understood how those scars came about and was shocked.
It is said that a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace after being married for a day. The King of Nanzhao not only robbed his wife of the throne, but also killed his wife in such a cruel way. He is simply a typical vampire phoenix man!
This is no different from eating the blood of your wife!
Xie Zhichan immediately agreed to the ugly old woman's proposal and asked Mai Sui to pack her luggage. He wanted to go to Nanzhao with the ugly old woman.
Upon learning of Xie Zhichan's plan, Pei Yuan, Pei Jingshu, Pei Jingyu and others disagreed.
Dan Feng and Yue Yan also objected repeatedly.
The only thing the prince gave him before he left was to ensure the safety of the princess.
Xie Zhichan said: "If you want your prince to come back safely, then listen to me. Besides, I am not going alone. I will take you two and Heying's people with me. I will not go to die alone."
The ugly grandmother said: "Ayuan is my biological daughter, I will definitely protect her with my life."
Danfeng and Yueyan had no choice but to listen to Xie Zhichan and go to gather Heying's people.
Xie Zhichan entrusted the task of preparing food and fodder for Pei Yi's army to Pei Jingshu and Pei Jingyu, and then they set out for Nanzhao together with Ugly Grandma and others.
Shortly after Xie Zhichan left, Pei Yi led his troops back to Kyoto.
They received emergency news from Kyoto on the Western Frontier battlefield. Liang Qixing and Fan Xingyang were left to preside over the Western Frontier battlefield, while Pei Yi led 100,000 reinforcements to Kyoto.
Also bringing back 200,000 troops were the brother and sister Zhao Zhige and Zhao Qin.
When the Turks invaded, Zhang Junze and Liu Yushi pretended to surrender to the Turks.
When Pei Yi came back to help, the two of them tried hard to get in touch with Pei Yi, acted as insiders in the city, and opened the gates of Kyoto for Pei Yi's men.
The Turks were not familiar with the streets of Kyoto. After Pei Yi discussed with Zhao Zhige, they sent out scattered troops to lure the Turkish army to send out small teams continuously. They then forced these Turkish soldiers into the alleys and defeated them one by one.
It took 300,000 people half a month of hard fighting to drive the Turks out of the capital and out of the Yinshan Mountains.
Although the Turks were driven out, they left behind a lot of ruins.
After resolving the disaster in Kyoto, Pei Yi hurried to the hot spring villa to find Xie Zhichan.
When we arrived at the hot spring villa, we found out that Xie Zhichan and the ugly mother-in-law had gone to Nanzhao Kingdom together.
It turns out that the ugly old woman is actually Ayuan's biological mother and the former queen of Nanzhao.
Pei Yi immediately knew what Xie Zhichan was thinking. If Ayuan could take down Nanzhao, and if Rouran withdrew, he would be able to concentrate all his forces on driving the Turks out of the northern border.
And knowing that she is now pregnant, my heart is filled with worry like a pancake.
The only one who could comfort her was Dan Feng. Yue Yan and He Ying were all by her side.
Now the Three Kingdoms Alliance has not withdrawn its troops yet, and the Turks have only been driven out of Kyoto. If the Turks knew that Kyoto was no longer defended, they might come back at any time.
Pei Yi must stay in Kyoto.
The country is in turmoil and crises are lurking on all sides.
Pei Yi stood on the city wall of Kyoto, looking at the smoke rising above the Yin Mountains, and knew that was where the Turkic camp was stationed.
Although his heart had already flown to Nanzhao, he had to force himself to focus on the soldiers in front of him and guard the defense line of Kyoto.
He looked up at the sky, hoping that as Ayuan said, as long as they were loyal to their oath, God would bless them to reunite.
