1554 King Ning An
Hearing Xia Wei’s words, Xia Wanyuan’s eyes narrowed. “Perhaps.”
After all, Jun Shiling had once told her that he came from the future, so he might have returned to his original world.
Three years ago, when Jun Shiling explained his background to Xia Wanyuan, he did not explain in detail. He was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would feel pressured, so he only said that he had married her in the modern world. Jun Shiling did not tell Xia Wanyuan about their children.
At this moment, Xia Wanyuan thought of the scene when Jun Shiling returned and could not help but wonder if Jun Shiling would marry someone else.
“Sister, what are you thinking?? Why are you so engrossed??” Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had been in a daze, Xia Wei reached out and waved in front of her. “How do you plan to deal with Jiang Qing? His attacks are getting fiercer and fiercer. Last month, he had already recovered Nancheng. From the looks of it, he’s preparing to outflank our territory.”
Xia Wanyuan put aside the other thoughts in her mind for the time being. She focused and began to think of a way to deal with Jiang Qing.
“Have you heard of the newly risen Yan Army??” Xia Wanyuan’s gaze wandered on the map and finally stopped on the easternmost piece of land.
In the past few years, heroes had competed and risen. Among them was a very mysterious King Ning An. He had made a fortune in the east and in just two years, he had turned a large area in the east into fertile land, allowing the people to live and work in peace.
At the same time, it was unknown what method he had used to make the army he controlled become one of the three great iron armies in the Central Plains in a short period of time. The Flame Army was one of the sharpest forces under him. They had never lost a battle.
Xia Wei had naturally heard of the reputation of this Yan Army. Puzzlement flashed across his eyes. “Sister, why are you suddenly talking about this?? Don’t tell me you’re looking for King Ning An to ally with him?? Didn’t we try before? It’s impossible for him to agree.”
As the latest dark horse, King Ning An naturally received the attention of the surrounding countries. Many people threw him an olive branch, but without exception, regardless of whether the other party was strong or weak, King Ning An rejected everyone’s alliance.
In fact, he had always shown himself in a mask and had never interacted with people from other countries. As a result, even though King Ning An’s reputation was spread throughout the world, no one knew what he looked like.
With such a powerful force entrenched in their east, Xia Wanyuan and Xia Wei had also sent people to King Ning An’s territory to submit a visit letter.
In fact, because this person had risen too quickly and acted too strangely, Xia Wanyuan had a very bold guess in her heart. Hence, Xia Wanyuan had personally gone to visit this person at Ning An Manor.
However, like everyone else, the visit letter was returned.
It was winter when Xia Wanyuan went. That year, it was snowing heavily in Ning An. Xia Wanyuan stood at the door for more than half an hour, but she was still rejected.
Hearing the news of rejection, Xia Wanyuan’s hopes were dashed. In the end, she did not say anything and left Ning An. Later on, she did not mention King Ning An again.
For some reason, Xia Wanyuan suddenly mentioned this person.
“Let’s try again.” Xia Wanyuan looked at Xia Wei. “Now, he’s our only hope of breaking out of the situation. As long as King Ning An is willing to ally with us, Jiang Qing’s plot to surround us will not succeed.”
Just like Xia Wanyuan, Jiang Qing had the same thoughts. At the same time, two invitations entered King Ning An’s manor.
