A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

“Yueyue, do you want to take a look when you have time?” Yuan Hui asked.

“Black City Kingdom? No, that’s a closed-up place. Who knows what’s going on inside?” Ning Yue said.

Before the country was opened up, she did not want to go in. The situation was unknown, and she was unfamiliar with the place. Besides, she did not have to go to the Black City Kingdom for anything.

Yuan Hui nodded, but he kept thinking about Ning Yue’s words.

Most of the citizens of the Black City Kingdom wanted to return to the Great Yun Nation. This was right, but every emperor of the Black City Kingdom had no intention of returning to the Great Yun Nation.

After all, they had been emperors for a long time and were used to being carefree. How could they be willing to suddenly be controlled by others?

How could someone who was used to being an emperor be willing to be a commoner?

Seeing that Yuan Hui was in a daze, Ning Yue couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong, Uncle? Did you think of something?”

Yuan Hui came back to his senses and did not want to hide anything. He told Ning Yue his thoughts.

“You’re right, so we don’t know what that emperor’s true thoughts are. We can’t just hear it from Nan Xing,” Ning Yue said.

Yuan Hui frowned and asked, “But I heard that he’s someone Jiang Ying has known since he was young. He should be trustworthy, right?”

“Not necessarily. There are two possibilities. The first is that Nan Xing really can’t be trusted. The second is that he was also deceived. The emperor of the Black City Kingdom’s acting skills are too good. He might have deceived all of us,” Ning Yue said.

Yuan Hui smiled. Yes, Ning Yue was right.

He said to Ning Yue, “Forget it. Forget it. What’s going on over there has nothing to do with us. We just have to protect ourselves.”

“That’s what I thought,” Ning Yue said.

After Yuan Hui nodded, the two of them fell silent. Suddenly, Ning Yue thought of a question. “Uncle, I want to ask you. Previously, only the two of you knew that you and the emperor had discussed joining forces to resist the Black City Kingdom?”

“We told the outside world that I was here to choose a wife. The outside world doesn’t know why I’m here. Only some people around me know.”

Ning Yue frowned when she heard this. This behavior puzzled Yuan Hui even more. “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

“Uncle, I don’t know much about the history of Russia. Tell me about it. For example, is the Dragon Scale Army under you very brave and good at fighting? I heard that your army is invincible on the battlefield. Is that true?”

Speaking of the Dragon Scale Army, Yuan Hui did not feel much. This was because to him, the Dragon Scale Army was established by the original owner. He did not have much participation.

He nodded at Ning Yue honestly. “Yes, the Black City Kingdom doesn’t dare to anger us easily. A large reason is the existence of the Dragon Scale Army.”

“Do you think it’s because of this that the Black City Kingdom plans to show weakness and sent Nan Xing over to lower our vigilance against them? Then they can take the opportunity to attack Russia and the Great Yun Nation.”

Yuan Hui was stunned. Why hadn’t he thought of this question? He actually couldn’t understand such a simple logic and had to rely on Ning Yue to remind him.

He paused for a moment and replied, “That’s possible, and it’s very likely. Although they don’t dare to fight us head-on, they have a lot of tricks up their sleeves. They often ambush the Dragon Scale Army. By the way, Yueyue, they actually have advanced technology. I’ve read about it in the history of Russia. The Black City Kingdom once had a history of making explosives. I’m worried that this technology is still there.”

If that was the case, there would be many casualties on the battlefield. The previous emperors of the Black City Kingdom were all warlike. They all had the determination to unify the world. It was possible to keep these techniques.

Hearing Yuan Hui’s words, Ning Yue’s eyes widened as she looked at him in disbelief.

“The Black City Kingdom has explosives? Who made them? Are they crazy?” Ning Yue asked in shock.

“I forgot. I only remember seeing it in the history books of Russia, but I really don’t remember who made them. I just remember this,” Yuan Hui said.
