The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

Chapter 236 Prepare to Fight

"Father, how should we respond to the envoys from the Arabs and Persians?"

At this time, Ning Gao asked.

"How do you answer?"

"Of course they don't admit it. Do they have any concrete evidence?"

Ning Yuanwu sneered.

"But........"

"No buts, tell them we don't admit this."

Ning Gao wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ning Yuanwu.

"Yes!"

All the princes were startled when they heard this, and then bowed to accept the order.

"By the way, Ning Gao, send someone to find out what happened to that ship immediately."

Ning Yuanwu suddenly remembered something and gave orders.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I've already sent someone to investigate. There will be results soon, and I'll be able to report back to Your Majesty within two days."

Ning Gao bowed and replied.

“Yeah, good.”

Ning Yuanwu nodded coldly.

............

In the study of the Prime Minister’s residence.

“This is bad!”

Li Junchen sat on the chair, rubbed his eyebrows and muttered.

"Father, are the things the Arab and Persian envoys said true?"

"If so, then the theft in the capital was really committed by him, right?"

"Then Your Majesty..."

Li Taiheng also started to panic.

“So it’s bad!”

"This is simply an act of treason. Your Majesty will surely want to kill you."

"I never thought he would be so courageous."

"I never expected that he would have such a magical space."

"Oh, if I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted as to marry Wanyue to him. I really regret it!"

Li Junchen sighed and said in annoyance.

"Father, do you think His Majesty will be dissatisfied with us because of this?"

Li Taiheng said worriedly.

"That's for sure. Even if the marriage was arranged by His Majesty, His Majesty would definitely be angry with us for such a big thing."

Li Junchen smiled bitterly.

“Damn it, what should I do now?”

"There's nothing we can do. We can only rely on fate."

"Write a letter to your second uncle right away, remind him, and ask him to be prepared."

"Also, write another letter to inform His Highness. I guess he doesn't know about this yet, so let him take precautions early."

Li Junchen sighed and gave instructions.

"I see."

Li Taiheng nodded.

...........

Of course, Ning Quan had no idea what was happening in the capital.

At this moment, he was taking Wanyue and Aruna to visit the garden.

And of course, his precious daughter Cher.

Yesterday, Ning Quan brought An Runa and her son to Xizhou, intending to let them stay there for a few months.

After all, when the child grows up, he or she will not be able to sit on a three-wheeled motorcycle.

It was the first time that Wanyue met Xueer. She was very cute and pretty, and she liked her very much.

He held her in his arms and refused to let go, and kept kissing her on the cheek.

Xue'er was also very well-behaved and let Wanyue kiss her.

The family of four is having a great time together, and it's very warm.

A dozen days later, I thought that Jia Xu and others should have arrived in Hedong.

Ning Quan drove a three-wheeled motorcycle to pick them up again, and arrived at Anyi, the capital of Hedong County, that night.

This is the meeting point agreed in advance.

As expected, Jia Xu and others had arrived and were waiting for him.

"My Lord, something terrible has happened. Our grain robbery has been exposed, and your possession of the space has probably also been exposed."

As soon as he saw Ning Quan, Jia Xu immediately reported anxiously.

"how come?"

Ning Quan was shocked when he heard this.

"Yes, Your Highness, the news has spread."

"It was discovered by the Arabs and Persians. Their envoys arrived in the capital a few days ago to protest to Your Majesty."

"They have also threatened to send troops to attack you if Your Majesty does not hold you accountable and make compensation."

Jia Xu continued.

"Damn it, how did they find out it was me?"

Ning Quan said angrily.

"Your Highness, this matter cannot be kept completely secret. It's not surprising that they discovered it."

"The most urgent tasks right now are, on the one hand, how to explain this to His Majesty, and on the other hand, to prepare for battle."

"I have heard that the Persian and Arab armies have already assembled their forces and I am afraid they will attack us soon."

Jia Xu continued to remind.

Ning Quan's face changed slightly when he heard this.

He naturally knew the seriousness of the matter.

The Arabs and Persians were both powerful nations. If they joined forces, it would not be easy for him to resist them.

"I understand. Let me take General Xiang back first."

"I'll come back tomorrow to pick up General Li. Wen and you will leave last. Remember to get more information in the next two days."

Ning Quan pondered for a moment and gave the order.

"promise!"

Jia Xu bowed.

Then Ning Quan took Xiang Yu on a three-wheeled motorcycle and left.

After returning to Xizhou, Ning Quan immediately summoned all the ministers to discuss the matter and explained in detail what had happened.

All the ministers were shocked when they heard this.

"Your Highness, this matter is of great importance and we must take it seriously."

Li Jing said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Highness, if this matter is leaked, we will not only have to face the combined forces of the Arabs and Persians, but His Majesty's attitude will probably change as well."

Zhuge Liang nodded.

"If His Majesty holds a grudge against us, then our situation will be very dangerous!"

Man Chong frowned.

"I know everyone is worried, but it has already happened and we can only find a way to solve it!"

"General Li, mobilize the troops immediately."

"Also, immediately send scouts to the Arabs to investigate the situation and determine the movements of the Persian and Arab armies, especially their numbers."

"Also, send a message to General Huo Qubing immediately, asking him to be prepared and to return immediately if needed."

Ning Quan ordered.

"promise!"

Li Jing bowed.

"The rest of you should also speed up your preparations. We need to have plans for the storage of supplies and the relocation of civilians. If the situation changes, the people can evacuate quickly."

"Yes!"

................

Silent all night.

The next morning, all the ministers took up their duties and began to get busy.

Ning Quan drove a three-wheeled motorcycle to pick up Li Cunxiao.

At this time, Li Junchen's letter also arrived.

After reading the letter, Ning Quan knew that this matter might not end well.

Ning Yuanwu's attitude towards him has changed dramatically.

If Ning Yuanwu had not been concerned about Ning Quan's strength and the need to unite against the outside world, he would have definitely eliminated Ning Quan without hesitation.

It was a foregone conclusion that the Arabs and Persians would jointly send troops to attack.

He reminded Ning Quan to prepare for the worst, and if it really didn't work, then just retreat to Ryukyu.

Ning Quan certainly understood the seriousness of the matter.

However, Ning Quan is still confident that he can handle it.

Although the Arab army is powerful, it is not to be feared.

Persia doesn't even have an emperor now, and the troops are sent by nobles from all sides. It is impossible for them to unite together. So he is not without a chance.

Besides, he is quite strong now, and he has modern weapons. Although they are not many, they can play a key role.

The only thing he was worried about now was whether Ning Yuanwu would stab him in the back.

Although Ning Yuanwu expressed his unity against external threats, who can guarantee that?
