Previously, when Tie Daoren was thinking about how to deal with Long Fei, the Emperor suddenly ordered him to enter the palace. Tie Daoren immediately followed Steward Liu into the palace. After walking into the royal study and giving Tie Xing a kowtow, the Emperor coughed and said gently,""State Preceptor, quickly get up!"
"Thank you, Emperor!"
Priest Tie stood up and noticed that General Shen Yue was also standing beside him. He immediately asked,"May I know why the emperor summoned this lowly official?”
The emperor had a clear face and a medium build. He was filled with a dignified aura, but his body did not seem to be in good health. He coughed from time to time and smiled when he heard this."Imperial Preceptor and Old General Shen, the two of you are the elders of this country and should know what Zhen is worried about!”
The dignified old man beside him said in a deep voice,"I heard that the North Far Country broke the contract recently and took over the border cities of our country. Their general Qi Su is very arrogant and even said that he wants to take back the cities that were given to us. Could it be that the emperor is worried about this?"
The Emperor laughed heartily and sighed,""Worthy of being the pillar of our country. Old General Shen's guess is correct. Zhen is troubled by this matter. Today, I have summoned the two of you to discuss how to deal with this matter.”
Shen Yue said boldly," I don't know what the Emperor of North Far Country is thinking. How dare he offend our country's prestige. I will personally go and exterminate the enemy!"”
The Emperor smiled and consoled,"Old General Shen is loyal and patriotic. That is known by everyone. However, it is just a small matter. There is no need to trouble Old General Shen to personally take action."”
"Our country has many talented generals, many of whom can be of great use," said Priest Tie. Why doesn't the Emperor choose a few to go and suppress the bandits?”
When the Emperor heard this, he looked at the Imperial Advisor with a profound look and sighed,""I thought so too, but I sent five generals and they were all defeated by Qi Su.”
Priest Tie and Shen Yue were greatly shocked when they heard this, and their faces unconsciously revealed a look of suspicion and disbelief. The Emperor knew what they were thinking and did not expose them. He continued,"
"Among these five generals, two of them are your beloved disciples. One is called Wang Baobao, and the other is called Liu Feng."
Priest Tie was even more surprised to hear this. Wang Baobao and Liu Feng were the two young talents of the Iron Sword Sect. They had made countless contributions at such a young age and were appointed as generals. He didn't expect that they would be killed.
He couldn't help but raise his head and ask,"Your Majesty, what exactly is Qi Su's background?" Why have I never heard of such a powerful person?”
The Emperor sighed, and the smile on his face disappeared."If it weren't for these few battles, no one would have known about Qi Su's reputation. According to the report, Qi Su was over 25 years old this year. He was the beloved son of Qi Batian, the leader of the martial arts world in North Far Country. His martial arts skills were inherited from his father. He was also very scheming. It was said that the Emperor of North Far Country recruited him and treated him well. He was now a general and constantly harassed the border of our country.”
Shen Yue nodded and sighed,""You're a promising young man, but what I don't understand is that North Far Nation is the weakest of the four nations. How could they have the guts to provoke our country? Is the emperor not afraid of me?”
When the Emperor heard this, he immediately frowned and said in a deep voice,""This is also the main reason why I summoned the two of you. According to the report from the spies, North Far Country has secretly established an alliance with the other two countries to deal with my country.”
Priest Tie and Shen Yue were even more shocked this time. They exclaimed in unison,"" Alliance with the other two countries?!"
The Emperor nodded and thought for a moment. He snorted coldly and sneered." This is indeed shocking at first glance. However, if you think about it carefully, this is not strange. In the current world situation, our country is the strongest among the four countries, and the other three countries are naturally uneasy. This time, North Far Country seems to be taking a gamble. I think they want our country to be the first to be destroyed. The three countries will unite to deal with our country, the biggest threat. They want to benefit from it and re-establish their power.”
When Daoist Tie and Shen Yue heard this, they immediately came to a realization. They couldn't help but break out in cold sweat as they said,"This plan is vicious. We have to guard against it. If the three countries really unite, it won't be easy to deal with.”
The Emperor nodded and stood up. He walked in front of the two of them with his hands behind his back. His face revealed a trace of ruthlessness as he said sinisterly,"Therefore, we have to strike first. We can't wait for the three countries to unite and wait for death. For now, he had to choose a talented person to go and defeat the enemy. On the one hand, he had to strengthen his guard against the other two countries.”
When Priest Tie and General Shen Yue heard these words, they immediately prostrated themselves on the ground,""The emperor's divine plans are truly beyond this lowly official's reach!”
The Emperor smiled and said,""All of you, get up. However, the most important thing now is to find a few promising talents to lead the troops. Do you have any good candidates?”
Shen Yue said," Your Majesty, don't our country still have the two Great Generals Mo Ni and Hong Fu? They are both highly skilled in martial arts and full of wit. They have never been defeated since they led their troops here. Why doesn't Your Majesty order them to go?"”
The Emperor smiled." My two beloved ministers may not know this, but I have already sent them to other places to guard against the sudden attack of Xiling and Nanwang.”
Shen Yue nodded and said,""Why don't you send my useless son over? I'm afraid he won't be of much use.”
The Emperor shook his head and said," Shen Zhong is young, but he is already a pillar of the country. However, we still have to rely on him for the matters of the court. He is not suitable.”
As he spoke, he looked at the silent Priest Tie and smiled,""Imperial Preceptor, there are many experts in your sect. Do you have any suitable candidates?”
Priest Tie had long thought about this. He stepped forward and replied,"Replying to the emperor, although this lowly official has many disciples in my sect, there aren't many who can be called experts.”
He paused and glanced at the Emperor, who had already revealed a trace of displeasure on his face. He hurriedly said in fear,"Since Wang Baobao and Liu Feng were killed by Qi Su, I think only my two last disciples could defeat him.”
Hearing Priest Tie say this, the Emperor's expression became a little better. He smiled and said,""State Preceptor, who are the two closed-door disciples you mentioned?”
Priest Tie wiped the cold sweat off his face and said,""They are the two women nicknamed Ice and Fire Phoenix."
"A woman?" The Emperor was stunned.
Priest Tie calmed himself down and said,""Yes, but their martial arts are the best in my sect.”
The Emperor pondered for a moment and finally decided,""Alright, I'll issue a decree right away. These two women will be appointed as the generals of the country to lead the army to attack the bandits!”
Hehe, the Ice and Fire Phoenix girls are going to lead their troops to war!
