The sun had just risen.
Jingdou, the towering Imperial Palace. There were many palaces and pavilions, and the Imperial Guards guarded every door.
In the throne room, the half-white-haired Emperor Xia looked rather haggard, and a hint of malice was hidden in his eyes.
The civil and military officials below bowed respectfully and shouted,""Long live our emperor!"
"Rise."
The Xia Emperor's sinister eyes swept across the entire place.
"Thank you, Emperor." The civil and military officials respectfully kowtowed before standing up.
Beside the dragon seat, an old eunuch shrieked,""If there's anything, report it as soon as possible. If there's nothing, withdraw from the court."
"Reporting to my emperor, I have a memorial.”
An old general walked out, cupped his hands, and bowed."My Emperor, with the help of the Fourth Prince, we have won a great victory at the border. Acting Marshal Bu Qingyun led the army to wipe out the Tianxuan army, pacify the border, and take back all the land!”
"What is it? A great victory at the border?"
"Annihilate the Tianxuan army and take back our land?”
The civil and military officials were shocked. For the past 20 years, the border troops had been beaten to the point where they did not dare to leave the city to fight and could only defend to the death.
Under such circumstances, they actually achieved a great victory and wiped out the Tianxuan army?
He even took back all the lost land?
"Hmm?" The Xia Emperor's expression changed slightly, and his entire aura became more ferocious and sinister. Like a venomous snake, he glared at the old general."Is what you said true? Destroy the Tianxuan army at the border? Take back the country?"
"This official does not dare to deceive the emperor. Last night, the messenger came to report that the border was indeed a great victory and the country has been recovered!”
The old general knelt on one knee and said respectfully,""The border is in urgent need of weapons now. I implore Your Majesty to send skilled craftsmen and excellent weapons to support us.”
"In addition, Acting Marshal Bu Qingyun has sent troops to attack Tianxuan Empire. I'm overjoyed, Your Majesty!”
bang
Suddenly!
The Xia Emperor slapped the armrest of his throne and said coldly,"Who asked him to send troops? You still want to attack Tianxuan? Why didn't you report such a big matter to me, Dou Tiande? Tell him to quickly return to the capital to see zhen!"
"Your Majesty, Old Marshal Dou Tiande was severely injured on the battlefield and died."”
The civil and military officials were stunned. His Majesty didn't seem to be happy about such a great victory?
Shouldn't they celebrate such a joyous occasion and reward the three armies?
"Are you saying that Fourth Brother was the one who planned this?”the Xia Emperor said coldly.
"Yes, the Fourth Prince is seriously ill, but he is still concerned about the war and plans for the army.”The old general did not dare to hide anything and replied truthfully.
"He's seriously ill, so he's giving advice? Dou Tiande died at the right time. He had just died and it was a great victory!”The Xia Emperor laughed coldly." What a good Fourth Brother. I've really underestimated you!”
If he sent a Fourth Prince with no cultivation over, wouldn't he be sending himself to his death?
In the end, it gave him a huge surprise!
"Your Majesty?"
All the officials present were stunned. How could they not understand the meaning behind His Majesty's words?
Dou Tiande's death was too coincidental. Moreover, Dou Tiande was the Emperor's trusted aide. How could he hand over his military power so easily?
The transfer of military power, such a major matter, should be reported to His Majesty for decision!
And the Fourth Prince was seriously ill, yet he was still concerned about the war?
It had been twenty years, and it was a miracle that the Fourth Prince was still alive!
Could it be that the Fourth Prince had been holding back until now and had taken control of the border?
Thinking of this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. If that was really the case, the Fourth Prince was too terrifying!
"Your Majesty, I will send someone to the border to investigate this matter.”The old general quickly said. He paused and said,"But the border does need reinforcements. Their weapons also need to be replaced.”
"Reinforcements? Ruining my plans!" Emperor Xia snorted angrily and said," Immediately pass down the imperial decree. Have the Fourth Prince return to the capital and remove Bu Qingyun from his position as the acting marshal. Dismiss his armor and return to the fields. Immediately withdraw his troops. Everything outside Blood Yellow City is Tianxuan's territory. Send it back to Tianxuan!"”
"If the Fourth Prince claims to be ill and doesn't come back, bring him back!”
"What?"
The old general suddenly raised his head, and the expressions of the civil and military officials changed drastically.
The Xia Emperor had gone mad. Not only was he unhappy about taking back his territory, but he was also furious?
"Retreat!"
The Xia Emperor gave a cold snort, then flicked his sleeves and left.
The eunuch shrieked,"Retreat!"”
"Your Majesty…"
The officials called out in unison, but the Xia Emperor ignored them.
The Xia Emperor left the throne room and headed straight for the back garden. His face was extremely dark, and his eyes were filled with a vicious light, as if he wanted to kill someone.
"Your Majesty, why are you angry?"
An old eunuch, who was standing beside him, asked carefully with wrinkles on his face.
"My fourth brother is really bold. He annihilated the entire Sky Xuan army and even attacked the Sky Xuan army. He is really brave!”
"Tell me, how should I deal with him?" the Xia Emperor asked coldly.”
"His Majesty is furious, and the civil and military officials are probably all thinking about it.”
The old eunuch lowered his eyebrows and said," His Majesty has a great plan in mind. If they don't understand it, they might cause trouble. As for the Fourth Prince, this is His Majesty's family matter. I can't interfere."”
"If they dare to have any ideas, kill them all!”The Xia Emperor's gaze was icy cold.”
"The Ninth Princess is safe and sound. However, Tianxuan still has some plans, so we can't bring her out easily.”the old eunuch said in a low voice.
" Go to the border personally. If Fourth Brother is just an ordinary person, bring him back. If there are any problems…"
The Xia Emperor said coldly, making a killing gesture."If he really controls the border, we can't let him know about Xiao Jiu.”
"This servant will go personally?" The old eunuch was stunned. He was going there personally?
The Xia Emperor said coldly," Go and come back quickly. You'll be safe if you go. Tianxuan has an army of a million, but they were all wiped out. You're fast enough to stop them from attacking Tianxuan.”
"This servant understands that Your Majesty's important matter is more important, and I will not let them ruin Your Majesty's important matter.”
The old eunuch whispered and turned to leave.
"Dou Tiande, that trash, died so easily and ruined my plans!”
The Xia Emperor's anger was unappeased.
