Xiao Lintian knew that this method was a bit despicable, but he still said it without hesitation.

"In the end, my people failed, and Hu Yanxue escaped... She must have guessed what I was thinking. She disappeared without a trace halfway without returning to Gangu!"

"I got a secret report two days ago, saying that the Eagle King of the Northern Wei Dynasty brought a group of troops to Gangu, saying that from now on Gangu will be protected by the Northern Wei Dynasty!"

Ling Yu was dumbfounded, this meant that Hu Yanxue had defected to the Eagle King.

When the Eagle King wanted to marry Xiao Tong, he thought Xiao Tong was bold and quite to his liking.

Hu Yanxue is more wild than Xiao Tong, which appeals to the Eagle King even more.

The last time Eagle King came to Western Qin to participate in the Four Kingdoms Military Competition, although his team did not win the championship, its strength was not weaker than that of Western Qin and Eastern Qi.

This time he dared to blatantly declare that he wanted to protect Gangu, which meant he wanted to declare war with Western Qin.

At this time, the Western Qin Dynasty sent imperial envoys to the surrounding small countries. If the person sent was Prime Minister Lu, Prime Minister Lu would definitely try his best to stabilize those small countries for the sake of the overall situation.

The one who can be sent is the ambitious Zhao Hui. If Zhao Hui doesn't cause trouble, it won't be Zhao Hui's style!

When Ling Yu saw the annoyed look on Xiao Lintian's face, she knew that what she had thought of had also occurred to him.

Ling Yu could not attack Xiao Lintian anymore, and comforted him: "This is God's will! You are not a god, how could you predict that such a thing will happen!"

"Think on the bright side. Panguo and the others have seen the development prospects of our dairy cows, and they will not be pulled over by the Eagle King so easily!"

"Ayu, I'm not worried about small countries like Panguo right now. What I'm worried about is the Eagle King uniting with Dong Qi to start a war!"

Xiao Lintian took Ling Yu's hand and held it tightly: "It's hard for the people to have a chance to cultivate and live a healthy life. If the war breaks out, thousands of people will die in the war!"

"I originally wanted to give the people a prosperous age where the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is prosperous and the people are strong. But now, isn't it all in vain?"

Ling Yu could understand Xiao Lintian's mood. Before he could realize his ambitions one by one, he would lead the people into dire straits of war.

If he is a foolish king, he will not care about the life and death of his people.

But Xiao Lintian wanted to be a wise king, and those millions of people were his subjects. How could he be willing to let these people die innocently?

But this is not something that will happen if Xiao Lintian doesn't want it. Ling Yu gently stroked the back of his hand and said firmly.

“When friends come, we have good wine to entertain them. When wolves come, we use guns and clubs. As long as we work together to drive away the wolves, we can still live and work in peace and contentment, and create a prosperous era when the country is prosperous and the people are strong!”

"Xiao Lintian, I believe in you, you will definitely be able to lead Western Qin to stand firm!"

Xiao Lintian seemed to be comforted and reached out to hold Ling Yu in his arms.

He hoped that all his civil and military officials and millions of people would be of the same mind as Ling Yu.

In this way, even in the face of huge difficulties, he can move forward fearlessly...

In the remaining half of the month, Xiao Lintian paid attention to the movements of those small countries, the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Eastern Qi Dynasty, while speeding up the pace of the Chunwei selection.

The Spring Festival is held at the end of the month and there are still more than ten days left, but many students who came to Beijing to participate in the Spring Festival have already arrived in advance.

These students have been properly arranged by Qin Shan and Pei Yu.

Different from the previous Spring Festival, this time Xiao Lintian spent money and booked many inns for free food and accommodation for poor students.

Not only that, Xiao Lintian also sent officials from the Hanlin Academy to give lectures at various inns to explain the exam-taking procedures to the students.

Royal doctors from Tai Hospital were also sent to various inns to treat the students free of charge.

These measures made the students who had participated in Chunwei feel novel, and they also felt that the new Emperor Shengwu valued them as students...
