"Boom! Boom!"
The sky was gloomy and heavy rain poured down. From time to time, there would be a few sounds of thunder that shook people's hearts. There seemed to be a lot of bad weather this summer. Could it be that the heavens were really throwing a tantrum?!
In the Imperial Palace of the Eastern Mo Nation, the atmosphere was deathly still. The atmosphere was terrifyingly oppressive. In the gloomy hall, two rows of civil and military officials stood in wait. They lowered their heads in fear and trepidation, allowing the lightning and thunder to flash outside. Silence. Still silence.
"Pa!"
The Emperor sitting on the dragon throne finally slapped the handle of the throne and stood up abruptly. Immediately, his angry shout spread throughout the entire hall,"A bunch of trash. The south, north, and west borders are actually in danger at the same time, hmph! Don't tell me that the foundation that my dignified East Mo Kingdom had painstakingly built up is going to be destroyed in such a short time?”
The hearts of the officials below the stage trembled when they heard this, but they did not dare to ask what had happened.
It turned out that ever since the news of Fei Feng and Hong Fu disappearing and their whereabouts unknown spread throughout the world, the situation in the world had quietly changed. Once again, the three countries secretly colluded with each other and exchanged information. They all understood that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change the fate of their country. Before Fei Feng appeared, even though the East Mo State was the strongest among the four countries, the overall strength of the four countries was almost the same.
Ever since the appearance of the Flying Phoenix, the situation of the four countries had changed. East Mo grew stronger day by day, while the other three countries were gradually declining under the constant suppression of East Mo. Originally, if Fei Feng and Hong Fu hadn't gone missing, the Three Kingdoms would have been weakened bit by bit, but they couldn't do anything about it. No one wanted to provoke this ferocious tiger first. Moreover, the three generals Fei Feng, Hong Fu, and Mo Ni were too terrifying. Not only were their martial arts superb, but they were also full of schemes. They were really difficult to deal with.
Now, two of the three killing gods of the East Mo battlefield had disappeared. Their strength had been greatly reduced. The three countries were full of confidence and supported each other. They actually sent troops at the same time to attack the border passes of East Mo, swearing that the tragedy of the six countries destroying Qin would not happen to them.
Thus, in the north, the North Far Nation gathered half of its military forces to attack the northern border city of East Mo Kingdom, which was guarded by the Ice and Fire Phoenix. In the south, the Nanfeng Kingdom had sent out their elite soldiers to fight hard against the southern city that was guarded by the killing god Mo Ni. In the west, the West Ridge Nation had mobilized all of their forces to fight the East Mo Nation's Old General Shen Yue, Shen Zhong, who was guarding the West Pass.
.......
This was already the tenth day. These days, news of emergency from the front line came from time to time. And now, in the Emperor's hands was a memorial that had been urgently sent over.
"Bastard! It was said that an army was trained for a thousand days and used for a moment. Humph! Look at what kind of trash I raised! West Side City actually, actually "
The Emperor, who was in the main hall, was trembling with anger. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his head. His body swayed and he actually couldn't stand steadily. When the officials in the hall saw this, they were all shocked and shouted in unison,"Your Majesty!"
The Emperor steadied his body and waved at Eunuch Liu, who was about to come forward to support him. He sighed inwardly and glanced at the trembling and nervous officials below. His heart skipped a beat and he sat back down on the dragon throne in a dignified manner, making his expression calm."Ai, zhen is fine, zhen's body is very healthy, you don't have to worry!”As he spoke, he laughed.
All the ministers looked at the Emperor, who looked exhausted but forced a smile. All kinds of emotions surged in their hearts. In the end, they could only smile along with the Emperor. Everyone thought to themselves,'The Emperor is already so old, and he has been suffering from minor illnesses for the past few years. If this really happens, then our East Mo Nation will truly be worried.”
After the Emperor finished laughing, he did not speak immediately. Instead, he looked outside in a daze. The heavy rain was still pouring, and the sky was as dark as night. The Emperor was stunned for a moment before waving his hand and greeting,""Little Liu!"
Eunuch Liu, who was waiting on him, hurriedly agreed.
The Emperor sighed and ordered,"Sigh, this weather makes one's heart very vexed!" Quickly give the order to light more lamps in the hall!”
Eunuch Liu agreed and went down. After a while, the lights flickered and the originally dim hall suddenly lit up. As soon as the oil lamp was lit, the light flickered and swept across everyone's faces, reflecting their panicked expressions. As for the Emperor in the main hall, his expression actually looked a little strange under the light.
For a moment, not only did the hall not become warmer because of the light, but everyone felt even more depressed. They could only hear the suppressed breathing of their colleagues beside them.
The Emperor sighed in his heart. These people usually looked like they were talented or had unparalleled wisdom.
Thinking of this, the Emperor slowly said,""The memorial in Zhen's hand was just sent from the west.”
Although Shen Yue, who was standing in front of the officials, was also secretly afraid of this Nine Heavens Dragon Face, the West City was guarded by his precious son, Shen Zhong. He was anxious to love his son, so Shen Yue walked out shakily and respectfully bowed."Emperor, I wonder if there's any news from the west!”
When Imperial Advisor Tie, who was standing at the front of the left, heard this, he sneered inwardly. The Emperor sighed and said slowly,""News from the west says that Shen Zhong's army has been defeated by the Xi Ling General!”
This soft sentence was like a thousand-pound boulder, pressing heavily on everyone's hearts. The ministers could no longer hold it in and began to whisper to each other. Immediately, the originally cold and silent hall became noisy.
Among them, Shen Yue was naturally the most shocked and anxious. He could not help but ask anxiously,"Your Majesty! I wonder, I wonder, what is the situation of my army now?”
The Emperor glanced at him and understood what he meant. He said,""According to the memorial, the western army suffered heavy losses. But don't worry, Shen Zhong only suffered a slight injury.”
Shen Yue couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Halfway through his sigh, he suddenly saw the Emperor looking at him with dissatisfaction. He was shocked and hurriedly lowered his head.
The Emperor sighed inwardly. He regretted sending Shen Zhong to guard the West Border Pass. This was not only because he had been defeated, but because he had long been used to Shen Zhong's company. Once he left, he immediately felt lonely and bored. Glancing at the ministers who were still discussing animatedly, the Emperor violently coughed. Everyone was shocked and looked at the Emperor with panic.
The Emperor was about to speak when Priest Tie, who had been silent all this while, stepped forward and said,""Emperor, that Shen Zhong fled in defeat and caused the western city of our country to fall into the hands of the enemy. He should be severely punished!”
Hearing this, Shen Yue's expression changed drastically. He looked angrily at Priest Tie, who had lowered his head again. However, he could not refute and could only plead,"Emperor, my son!"
The Emperor shook his head and interrupted him, saying in a dignified manner,""Shen Zhong was defeated by the enemy, he is guilty. However, this was not the time to discuss how to punish him. Instead, they should give him a chance to redeem himself.“
Seeing everyone nod, the Emperor said,""Alright, I've issued an order to dispatch another 50,000 troops and Shen Zhong to take back the West Border City.”
Everyone was silent. Outside, the rain seemed to be getting heavier.
In the rainy night, a military horse galloped out of the capital and headed towards the western pass.
