The capital and the other four countries were monitoring Xiao Tianyao’s upcoming expedition. Countless people were very eager to take advantage of this opportunity and come up with good calculations from it.
Many people have been busy seeking partners to cooperate with them and to prepare something in advance. However, the Xiao w.a.n.gfu, who has the greatest connection with this matter, was very peaceful.
Even as a party involved, Xiao Tianyao didn’t get busy because of this expedition. Xiao w.a.n.gfu was also not in a panic state. What’s supposed to be a normal event is not happening, so people couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
“What does Xiao w.a.n.gfu mean by this? Are they not preparing for the expedition?”
“Is Xiao w.a.n.gye paying attention to this war?”
“Xiao w.a.n.gye has long been expecting this to happen, so he prepared everything in advance.”
“Last time expedition harmed Xiao w.a.n.gye, so he will not make any arrangement this time. When he came back, he became so indifferent.”
“Xiao w.a.n.gye was seriously injured that time. It is very difficult to say how far his body recovered now. Moreover, his elite troops suffered a heavy lost under Eminent Xu’s mistakes in command. This war is very difficult to win.”

Since Xiao Tianyao’s upcoming expedition was publicized, different kind of remarks has spread all over the capital. Most people were not optimistic about Xiao Tianyao.
Su Cha opened his mouth and said as a joke: “Although those people can’t see the actual events, their words were half true. This war is not good for you. Whether it is North, South, or West, no one wants to see you win.”
If Xiao Tianyao lost in this battle, the Eastern Country’s strength will inevitably drop. And Xiao Tianyao status will also drop. Without Xiao Tianyao’s t.i.tle as the G.o.d of War, the other three countries can feel at ease.
“No harm will be done. Before the war is over, the emperor will not let benw.a.n.g die.” Xiao Tianyao understood very well the situation. Since the emperor sent him to the expedition, the emperor accepted reality. Even if he wanted to take back his military power again, he will not joke about his country.
“On the way to the battlefield, the emperor will definitely protect you. What I’m worried about is, if someone does something to you during the battle, or after the battle, so that you will never come back.” A year ago, as soon as the victory was on the sight, the emperor set up a group of a.s.sa.s.sins to kill Xiao Tianyao.
At that time, aside from the East emperor, the other three countries also took a shot. In the face of experts in the martial arts of the four countries, although they got out of the trouble, they also paid a huge price.
“The emperor will not use the same strategy, but even if he used it twice. It will be more impossible for him to kill benw.a.n.g.” What is there be afraid of?
When Su Cha sees Xiao Tianyao as the victor, he didn’t continue to pursue the matter. He only said: “After you leave, what are we going to do in the capital?”
“w.a.n.gfei will decide.” Xiao Tianyao simply said.
Su Cha was shocked and worried: “w.a.n.gfei, is she willing?” Su Cha doesn’t doubt Lin Chujiu’s ability, what he was worried about is, if Lin Chujiu was unhappy and unwilling, after all… …
Xiao Tianyao hurt Lin Chujiu’s feelings.
“She will be willing.” Xiao Tianyao knows that Lin Chujiu is wise. Even if she was unwilling, she will still do what should be done: “If Xiao w.a.n.gfu fell, the first person who will be unlucky is her.”
Lin Chujiu should have understood by now, that if he dies, his enemies will not let her live. Even if Lin Chujiu has the ability, she cannot escape from all of those people.
“I’m relieved to hear that.” Now that Lin Chujiu will manage the overall situation, Su Cha felt at ease. However, as a good friend, Su Cha reminded Xiao Tianyao: “w.a.n.gye, you will leave in two days. I don’t know how long you will be gone. Do you want to take this opportunity to go out with w.a.n.gfei and cultivate your feelings?”
Su Cha always believed that it is still best to let Lin Chujiu have feelings for Xiao Tianyao than just sharing a common interest and benefits.
If Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu become a real couple, and they cultivate their feelings. The two of them will naturally work together in the future.
Su Cha’s proposal made Xiao Tianyao quite emotional: “What should be done tomorrow?” If he leaves for the battlefield the day after tomorrow, the only time he could be together with Lin Chujiu will be these two days.
“Nothing, we already arranged things, you only need to wait two more days.” Su Cha quickly replied.
They have been preparing for months for this expedition, they don’t need to grind anymore.
“Very good,” Xiao Tianyao nodded his head with satisfaction, then said: “Tell the Southern Princess and Western Prince, benw.a.n.g is inviting them to a banquet outside the capital. In addition, also invite the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Seventh Prince.”
“Huh?… …” Su Cha was stunned: “w.a.n.gye, not only you and w.a.n.gfei?” Calling a bunch of people, how are they going to cultivate feelings?
“Asking too much, just do it.” What will he and Lin Chujiu do outside the capital? Stare at each other?
Rather than staring each other in silence, it’s better to call all of these people. So, he can beat them before he leaves. Lin Chujiu will have some peace in the capital by then.
Su Cha had guessed Xiao Tianyao’s intention, but… …
Just to beat those people, he will destroy the only time they can be alone together?
Seriously, he doesn’t really deserve to enter their w.a.n.gfei’s door. In regards to this, no need to ask about their w.a.n.gfei’s opinion, because he himself will not put him in the eyes.
However, Su Cha didn’t dare to scold Xiao Tianyao. Even if he felt that this was wrong, he should work honestly. He should make arrangements for this banquet.
Xiao Tianyao tapped the table and asked Liu Bai: “When will Jing Chi return?” He will leave the capital, together with some of his guardsmen and shadow guards. So, Lin Chujiu’s safety might become a big problem. Fortunately, Jing Chi still owes him a favor, which had become handy now.
“Two months later.” When Liu Bai finished his words, he immediately lowered his head. He didn’t dare to look at Xiao Tianyao.
*Bang* Xiao Tianyao slammed the table and sneered: “Two months? Are you joking with benw.a.n.g?”
It takes only a month or so to go to the border for ordinary people. If Jing Chi is this slow, then he doesn’t deserve to be called the best a.s.sa.s.sin.
“Jing Chi sent news, he can only return to the capital after two months.” Liu Bai was very sad and couldn’t dare to look up.
“Hmph.” Xiao Tianyao snorted: “Speak, what happened to him this time?”
“His younger brother Tang Tang had a dispute with the Flower Squad and killed the son of the chief. The other side had a bit of power in the river and lakes. They refused to let Tang Tang go, they want him dead. The Northland’s Prince also came forward, so Jing Chi had no choice but to come forward for his younger brother.” In the world of the river and lakes, killing a person was not really big. But a big official came forward to kill Tang s.h.i.+er, the Northland Prince. Jing Chi and Tang s.h.i.+’er will have no good end.
“Su Cha, send some people to solve this matter, order Jing Chi to rush back to the capital.” Things now happened, what else can he do?
“I will take care of it.” Su Cha nodded without any emotion.
It is best not to deal with the matter regarding murdering people. Because people will think they are being a bully. However, they desperately need Jing Chi to protect Lin Chujiu.
It is better to let Jing Chi owe them another favor than to let him owe the Northland Prince a favor… …
