Chapter 392 The Young Singer's Journey 61
Ao Yu was an extraordinary person, whose status and prestige were unmatched in the Southern Kingdom, and he was deeply loved by the people.
However, Wu Qinghuan was too eager to succeed this time. He not only failed to investigate the matter thoroughly, but also failed to put in the bare minimum of perfunctory work before he was impatient to get rid of Ao Yu. This move immediately provoked strong opposition from nearly half of the officials in the court.
Faced with the officials' doubts and opposition, Wu Qinghuan flew into a rage and used violent means to suppress them, which further aroused the rebellious hearts of the court officials. Memorials denouncing Wu Qinghuan were sent to the emperor's desk like snowflakes.
For a time, the emperor and his ministers were embroiled in endless arguments.
Ao Yu was no ordinary man either. Faced with Wu Qinghuan's relentless pressure, he decided to stop holding back and began to actively win over military generals, intending to directly mobilize troops to restore the country.
Wu Qinghuan's ability to usurp the throne naturally stemmed from his exceptional abilities and the immense power behind him.
Seeing that Ao Yu's power in the army was growing, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and mobilize the border troops to deal with the situation.
Thus, fueled by the Dark River, news spread quickly that Nan Jue had mobilized 300,000 troops to attack Bei Li.
The Northern Frontier, unaware of the details of the war between the two countries, was naturally filled with anxiety.
However, compared to Bei Li, Nan Jue's situation was clearly more critical.
Wu Qinghuan is currently in a dilemma, caught between a rock and a hard place.
Back then, Lei Mengsha fought against Nanjue and almost wiped out the top experts in the Nanjue army, resulting in a severe shortage of talent in the Nanjue army today. The only one with the ability, prestige and ability to lead troops into battle is Ao Yu.
If he were to ruthlessly eliminate Ao Yu now, he could certainly remove a long-standing thorn in his side. However, the already turbulent court of Nanjue would inevitably fall apart as a result.
Furthermore, with the arrival of the Northern Li army, if the Northern Li were to launch an attack at this time, the Southern Jue might very well perish.
However, it would be absolutely impossible for him to choose to let Ao Yu go and allow him to lead the army into battle.
After this ordeal, his desire to eliminate Ao Yu is as clear as day.
Once Bei Li withdraws its troops, Ao Yu, who holds military power, could very well turn against him and kill him.
However, Su Changhe didn't know just how difficult things were for Wu Qinghuan, nor did he want to know.
His mind was now filled with Xiao Yu's words: "The Southern Jue army is pressing in, its momentum is overwhelming and unstoppable. The Northern Li is now in a precarious situation, facing life and death."
Given the current situation in Nanjue, whether the two countries can actually go to war is another matter entirely, let alone the idea that "Beili is at a critical juncture of life and death."
But the Red King is saying this now, which means he has made new arrangements for them, but we don't know what they are.
Is it going to be something like assassinating the five grandmasters or stirring up internal strife in the Southern Manual?
They suffered heavy losses this time in order to complete the mission. If something like this happens again, the Dark River might be gone.
Thinking of this, Su Changhe couldn't help but shudder, a sense of unease welling up in his heart.
Just then, Su Muyu, who had already expressed her opinion, frowned slightly when she saw that Su Changhe remained silent for a long time.
The path to enlightenment is right before us. How can Su Changhe afford to lose focus at this critical juncture?
Could it be that there was a loophole in what the Red King said just now, which Su Changhe discovered, and that's why he was so lost in thought for so long?
Su Muyu quickly reviewed Xiao Yu's words and found nothing amiss.
Therefore, he could only attribute Su Changhe's silence to another seemingly absurd yet reasonable explanation: the man was so happy he went crazy.
Su Muyu shook her head gently, and with a hint of helplessness, gently pushed Su Changhe.
Su Changhe suddenly snapped back to his senses, his gaze returning to Xiao Yu, who was bathed in golden light.
He tried to adjust his expression, forcing a smile: "Your Highness's kindness in rebuilding the Dark River is something that the entire Dark River community can never repay."
Seeing that Xiao Yu remained silent, Su Changhe took a deep breath and continued, "If Your Highness has any worries or needs any assistance from Anhe, please feel free to give the order. Anhe will do its utmost to repay Your Highness's great kindness."
Xiao Yu's lips curled up slightly as he turned back and gave Su Changhe a satisfied look.
Su Changhe was indeed a clever man; he could understand the implied meaning from the sound of the strings, and he didn't even need to spell out his words clearly for the other party to understand.
"It's not a difficult thing..."
Xiao Yu smiled slightly, already having a complete plan in mind.
The Southern Alliance and the Northern Alliance are currently in a stalemate and have not yet officially started fighting.
But according to his assessment, the war would break out in full force within two months at the latest.
Although both sides may exercise restraint due to various factors and avoid fighting too fiercely.
But that was enough for Xiao Yu.
He intends to use this war between Beili and Nanjue to seize military power and simultaneously launch a major purge of the martial arts world.
These江湖人士 (jianghu figures) use the banner of righteousness to pursue personal gain, severely disrupting the proper order of this world.
Now he is using their own methods against them, directly using the underground river to spread the word in the martial arts world that the war is difficult, and using righteousness to attract those martial arts people to come, so that they will wear each other down in this conflict, thereby weakening the martial arts forces.
This way, they could win the war and also solve the problem of the excessive power of the martial arts world, achieving two goals at once.
What? The martial arts world might not come?
Even a killer organization like Dark River has the heart to serve the country and its people, and travels thousands of miles to the Southern Battlefield.
So how could those self-proclaimed righteous and extraordinary sects possibly stand aside and do nothing?
Most importantly, this can also be used to get Xiao Lingchen to show himself.
Although Xiao Yu did not know Xiao Lingchen, he knew Xiao Ruofeng very well.
As Xiao Ruofeng's son, Xiao Lingchen was deeply influenced by his father's teachings and upbringing. In times of national crisis, he would not hesitate to step forward and take on the responsibility of protecting his country.
As long as Xiao Lingchen appears, Xiao Yu can focus on planning how to deal with Ye Xiaoying without worrying about the Langya Army mutiny.

Faced with Xiao Yu's request, Su Changhe forced a smile, but in his heart he felt utterly hopeless.
Spreading rumors may seem simple, but it is actually very difficult.
The challenge lies in how to skillfully utilize rumors to precisely achieve predetermined goals.
If rumors become too sensational, they will inevitably cause unrest and unrest among the people and low morale in the army.
If the rumors are not strong enough, they will not attract the attention of people in the martial arts world, let alone make them travel thousands of miles to the border.
Therefore, it is essential to strike a balance when spreading rumors, ensuring that they receive sufficient attention without causing excessive panic.
For Su Changhe, this matter was even more troublesome than the assassination of the five grandmasters by the Dark River.
