…
At the same time.
Imperial Palace of South Qin.
Yangji Palace.
This is the study room of Emperor Yuan You, similar to Emperor Longchang’s Zhuozheng Pavilion, where Emperor Yuan You usually deals with state affairs and spends most of his time.
Therefore, the arrangement in this hall is quite exquisite.
Precious ancient calligraphy and paintings hang on the stone walls, a Red Copper censer on a high pedestal in the corner, with expensive incense burning inside, the smoke curling up, creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
Scattered throughout the hall, there are many comfortable couches for resting. Several beautiful palace maids scattered around quietly brewing tea or silently tidying and cleaning, and in the corner, a group of palace maids skilled in music are playing soothing melodies with musical instruments unique to South Qin.
Such an atmosphere could not be called anything less than enjoyable.
It wasn’t even noon yet, and Emperor Yuan You had already dealt with the few political affairs and was completely free. At this moment, he was leisurely sitting and casually drinking, embracing a beauty.
One by one, crystal-clear Spirit Fruits, through the hands of the beauty, were fed into his mouth.
On his shoulders, a pair of hands as delicate as sliced onions were gently and firmly massaging them.
Amidst the gentle and soothing sound of string instruments, Emperor Yuan You felt utterly relaxed, as if he was floating, and all the suffocating feelings that had accumulated these past days due to the need to please Demon Lord Xietong seemed to dissipate.
“Hahaha~ It’s the beauties who are considerate,” he laughed heartily, “I’ve been feeling stifled these days, but today my mood has improved a bit.”
Although a national war was imminent, Emperor Yuan You didn’t seem to care much.
The Anti-Qian Army was commanded by Murong Kaifeng, in whom he had great trust.
That young man had been with him since childhood, both his personal strength and his ability to lead troops had been tried and tested in real combat. With him there, it was unlikely that problems would arise in the early stages of the war.
As for himself, being a strong practitioner of the Transcendent Void Realm, he was usually the trump card, rarely needing to personally intervene. When the war escalates into intense phases, and Longchang and Jiang Zhencang, those two old dogs, make their moves, it wouldn’t be late for him to act then.
For now~ enjoying the moment seemed more important.
Emperor Yuan You smiled, tightening his embrace around the beauty in his arms, his eyes gradually deepening, his actions becoming more uninhibited.
“Your Majesty ~ it’s still daytime~”
The beauty’s face, like jade snow, flushed red as she coquettishly pushed him, but her strength was as light as a feather, more enticing than rejecting.
Just when the atmosphere between them was heating up, and they were about to consummate.
Suddenly.
A piercing scream came from outside the hall: “Uncle of the nation! You cannot go in!”
Before the voice fell, an old man with white hair pushed open the hall doors and rushed in, dropping to his knees at the entrance, tremblingly said: “Your, Your Majesty, I have urgent military intelligence to report!”
“Your, Your Majesty! I couldn’t stop the Uncle of the nation… this servant is at fault! Please, please forgive this servant!” A eunuch hurriedly followed the old man into the hall.
Terror and panic rendered the eunuch’s face pale, his footsteps staggering, and he knelt on the floor as soon as he entered, shivering uncontrollably, unable to speak clearly.
Several little eunuchs who had tried to stop the old man also followed, their faces pale and shaking like sieves, clearly terrified.
For a moment, the scene at the entrance of the hall was quite chaotic.
Emperor Yuan You’s mood was spoiled, he pushed the beauty away and coldly looked towards the kneeling old man at the entrance, and angrily said: “Zhou Renxin, the army has just set out, they might not even have reached Jianling Pass yet. You’re telling me there’s urgent military intelligence?”
“It seems, I have been too indulgent with you, allowing you to even forget the basic respect. Today, if I don’t teach you a lesson, where would my majesty stand?”
He snorted coldly, not letting the old man continue speaking, waved his sleeve and said coldly: “Bring him! Zhou Shuguo has disturbed the royal presence, disobeyed the royal decree, take him away and punish according to the law!”
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty! There really is an urgent report from the frontlines!” The old man, Zhou Renxin, became anxious, hastily cried out, “The army was ambushed at Youmen Ridge by East Qian Country, and suffered massive losses! The entire Corpse Puppet Legion has been wiped out, and although the other battalions escaped quickly, they also suffered, losing nearly thirty percent!”
“What?! How could it be, how can it happen so quickly! Is Murong Kaifeng a waste?!”
Emperor Yuan You’s face suddenly changed, and he abruptly stood up from the soft couch.
This was the entire Corpse Puppet Legion! Plus nearly thirty percent of the soldiers! Such massive losses, not to mention since his accession to the throne, it hadn’t occurred even in the history of South Qin!
He was uncontrollably furious, yet also felt a deep chilling fear. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Although he had been on the throne for a short time, he knew very well the severe consequences such huge losses in a national war could bring. Moreover, with Longchang’s cunning nature, having achieved such significant battle results this time, he would definitely choose to continue attacking, taking a huge bite out of South Qin.
If mishandled, it could lead to the disaster of national extinction!
“What, what should we do?”
Emperor Yuan You was anxious, frantically pondering a response strategy.
Suddenly.
His eyes brightened, and he harshly shouted towards the eunuchs at the doorway: “Quick! Notify Demon Lord Xietong immediately, this matter must be handled by him!”
…
Meanwhile.
At the border of Tianfu County and the ancient swamps of Southern Wilderness, a clone of Demon Lord Xietong was sitting cross-legged on a desolate rock.
