Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

Chapter 172 Farewell, leaving Beijing again!

"But what?"

When the Liao envoy Yelu Hong saw the little emperor stop talking midway, he said impatiently.

Zhu Jun frowned and said, "Even if the Great Zhou agrees to send troops to aid, they still need to prepare food and supplies in advance. Besides, if the Great Zhou helps the Liao, what can the Liao give to the Great Zhou?"

These words of Zhu Jun were naturally taught by Lin Fan and Zhang Julu.

Yelu Hongdao said: "As for the food and fodder, we in Liao can provide food and fodder for the soldiers of the Great Zhou. We only hope that the Great Zhou can send troops as soon as possible."

"Also, if the Great Zhou can help the Liao Kingdom repel the Northern Yuan and Northern Mang, the Liao Kingdom is willing to return all the land it had previously seized from the Song Kingdom to the Great Zhou."

Xu Kun watched the conversation between Zhu Jun and Yelu Hong silently, but did not say anything. He came to Yong'an City with Yelu Hong this time only in the name of King Song and served as a guide.

Seeing Yelu Hong reveal his cards right from the start, Xu Kun couldn't help but feel sarcastic in his heart. He was indeed a barbarian.

Xu Kun was distracted when the first young emperor, Zhu Jun, suddenly looked at him and said, "Sir Xu, does the King of Song have any suggestions on this matter?"

Hearing the young emperor's question, Xu Kun quickly collected his thoughts and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the King of Song has told me to convey that the people of Song are loyal to the court and all will be subject to the court's will."

When the young Emperor Zhu Jun heard Xu Kun's words, his mood immediately improved. He smiled and said, "Prince Song is indeed a loyal pillar of the Great Zhou."

"You guys go down and rest first. I will make a decision after discussing this matter with the ministers in the court."

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Zhou, I hope you can make up your mind to send troops as soon as possible. You have a saying in the Great Zhou: 'The lips and teeth are cold when they are gone.' If the Liao Kingdom is destroyed, the Northern Mang and Northern Yuan will surely seize the opportunity to attack the Great Zhou."

Before leaving, Yelu Hong clasped his fists to the little emperor.

"Don't worry, I will give you an answer as soon as possible. The envoy can go down and have a rest first," said the young emperor Zhu Jun, waving his hand.

"The foreign minister resigns!"

Yelu Hong saluted the young emperor Zhu Jun, and then slowly retreated with Xu Kun. Naturally, officials from the Ministry of Rites would arrange a place for them to rest.

"My dear ministers, what do you think about the Liao Kingdom's request for help?" After Yelu Hong and Xu Kun left, the young emperor looked at the ministers in the hall and asked.

When everyone heard this, they started talking one after another.

Lin Fan, Zhang Julu and Chen Lin did not say anything, but just listened quietly.

In fact, the decision to send troops had already been made in advance.

The little emperor asked just as a routine matter.

In the end, these ministers did not come up with any new suggestions.

Zhang Julu then stepped forward and stated, "Your Majesty, I believe we should send troops to aid the Liao Kingdom."

"Wei Chen seconded the proposal!"

Immediately, Lin Fan and Chen Lin said at the same time.

Seeing that the three big bosses had expressed their opinions, other ministers also expressed their support for sending troops.

The young emperor said, "Since that's the case, then we'll send troops. The specific matters will be coordinated and arranged by Zhongfu."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your Majesty and the court's trust." Lin Fan clasped his fists and bowed, then agreed without hesitation.

After discussing the issue of sending troops to aid the Liao Kingdom, other ministers reported some trivial matters, and then the little emperor let everyone go.

After leaving the palace, Lin Fan thought for a moment and went back home first.

Ah Zhu and Jiang Yuyan were practicing martial arts in the manor, with Yao Yue and Lian Xing giving them instructions.

"Brother Lin, why did you leave your shift early today?"

Kankan looked like she was watching a show. When she saw Lin Fan coming back, she greeted him with a smile and said.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "When I leave my shift is up to me. However, I'm not coming back to leave early this time, but I have something to tell you."

Hearing Lin Fan's words, Yaoyue, Lianxing, Azhu and Jiang Yuyan all came closer.

Yao Yue asked calmly, "What's the matter? Are you going to bring another sister back to everyone?"

"Ahem," Lin Fan couldn't help but choked when he heard Yao Yue's words.

"Hehe," Kanan chuckled as if she was enjoying the fun.

Lin Fan glared at Yao Yue and said, "Can't I have other things to do?"

"I don't care about what happens in the court," Yao Yuefeng said calmly.

Lin Fan looked at the others and asked, "Do you think so too?"

Ah Zhu said softly, "Brother Lin, has the court assigned you something difficult to handle?"

Lin Fan extended his hand, pulled Ah Zhu into his arms, and said with a smile, "Ah Zhu still cares about me."

In front of all the girls, Ah Zhu couldn't help but blush slightly when Lin Fan embraced her in his arms.

Lin Fan said, "Next, I will be away for a while and go to Song State."

Jiang Yuyan asked, "Brother Lin, what are you going to do in Song State? Is it dangerous?"

"There is currently no one in this world who can threaten me," Lin Fan said with a faint smile.

"This trip to Song is mainly to mobilize the Song army to aid Liao and take the opportunity to expand the territory of Great Zhou."

Ah Zhu couldn't help but say, "The Liao and Song kingdoms have been at war with each other constantly, killing countless Song people. How could the court allow the Song to aid the Liao?"

Azhu grew up in Gusu and considered herself a Song person. She has always been quite hostile to the Liao people.

Lin Fan explained, "The Liao Kingdom was attacked by the Northern Mang and Northern Yuan, and could no longer withstand the attacks. So, they turned to the Song Kingdom and the Great Zhou court for assistance."

"Compared to the Liao Kingdom, the Northern Mang and Northern Yuan pose a greater threat to the Great Zhou. That's why we took the initiative to attack and help the Liao Kingdom, which is actually helping the Great Zhou. The ultimate goal is for the Great Zhou to unify the entire world and end war."

Jiang Yuyan said, "I believe in Brother Lin, he can definitely do it."

"I believe that, too." Lin Fan smiled and continued, "I came back to say goodbye to you. I might leave directly for Song State today."

Ah Zhu hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Brother Lin, can I go to Song State with you?"

Lin Fan pondered for a moment and said, "If you're not afraid of hard work, then let's go together."

"Thank you, Brother Lin," Ah Zhu said happily upon hearing that.

Ah Zhu had been away from Song State for a long time and she missed it a little. She also wanted to go and pay tribute to Ah Bi.

Seeing that the other women seemed to be a little moved, Lin Fan quickly said:

"I'm going to fight, not to sightsee. I'll take you out for fun when I have the chance. You should stay home for now. Or you can go and take care of your own affairs."

Kankan pondered for a moment and said, "Then can I go back to the Yingui Sect and see my master?"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Of course."

Lin Fan chatted with the girls for a while, then left home with Ah Zhu, who had changed into men's clothes.

Afterwards, Lin Fan took Ah Zhu to the Jinyiwei, the Ministry of War, and the Cabinet to give instructions, and asked Luo Wang to secretly monitor the movements in the capital. Only then did he take Ah Zhu to the State of Song.

Just after leaving the capital, the system in Lin Fan's mind, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly sounded a prompt.
