Grand Xia, Imperial Palace.
All the officials were gathered. The Xia Emperor sat on his throne, his expression extremely gloomy.
"Report, urgent report from the border. The Fourth Prince has proclaimed himself king and raised an army to rebel. In a day, he has conquered ten cities!”
A soldier rushed over and knelt on the ground, panicking.
"What? The Fourth Prince has rebelled?"
"Ten cities in a row? Since when did the fighting power of the border become so terrifying?”
The civil and military officials 'expressions changed drastically, and their expressions were filled with fear.
"Your Majesty, not only did they conquer ten cities, but there is also news that the Great Yue State was destroyed by the Fourth Prince.”the soldier said again.
"What is it? The Great Yue State was destroyed?"
The Xia Emperor's expression changed, and he shot to his feet, staring at him."When was it destroyed? Where's the Ninth Princess?"
"The ninth princess was saved by the fourth prince and is now with him. I heard that the third prince is also here.”
The soldier did not dare to hide anything and replied truthfully.
"Third Prince, how dare he!"
Emperor Xia roared," I asked him to come back and protect the Ninth Princess. He actually went to help Fourth Sister?"”
He had personally sent a message for Jiang Daoqing to leave the mountain. It was time for him to use all these years of training.
But now, the soldiers were telling him that Jiang Daoqing had sided with the rebellious Jiang Daotian?
This…
I'm so angry!
"Your Majesty, please do not be angry. I am willing to lead troops to capture the Fourth Prince.”An old general walked out and cupped his hands, asking for battle.
The Xia Emperor glanced at him. His Martial Emperor had left and had not returned.
The Third Prince, Jiang Daoqing, was also a Martial Monarch Realm expert. In the end, he chose to join them.
You, a Martial Emperor level old general, went to die?
"The Crown Prince and the Second Prince are here!”the Xia Emperor said coldly.
"Crown Prince?"
The civil and military officials were stunned. They had not expected Emperor Xia to summon the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.
It was rumored that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince had been cultivating in the palace since they were young. Their cultivation levels were already unfathomable, and they were even above the Third Prince.
Not long after, two young men walked into the hall and knelt on both knees. They bowed respectfully."Your son greets Imperial Father."
"Stand up." The Xia Emperor sat back down on his dragon's might, his eyes filled with a sinister chill."Now that the fourth brother is rebelling, the third brother is going to help. What do you think?”
Crown Prince Jiang Daoji and Second Prince Jiang Daoyu were both stunned.
Fourth Brother rebelled?
Where did he get the courage and ability? Wasn't he just an ordinary person?
"Zhen is asking you a question!" the Xia Emperor said angrily.
Only then did the two princes come to their senses. Crown Prince Jiang Daoji cupped his hands and asked,""Imperial Father, I wonder how the battle situation is now? What ability did Fourth Brother have to dare to raise an army to rebel?”
"Tell the Crown Prince what the Fourth Prince has done.”the Xia Emperor said coldly.
"Yes." The soldier bowed respectfully and said," The Fourth Prince controls 300,000 troops at the border. He has conquered ten cities in a row. Before that, he destroyed the Great Yue State in one fell swoop. He came with the power to destroy the country.”
"Rumor has it that the Fourth Prince has already reached the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm. The Third Prince, Jiang Daoqing, is willing to submit.”
" Peak Martial Emperor?"
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"Ten cities in a row in one day? He personally took action?”Jiang Daoji asked in a deep voice.
"The Fourth Prince didn't personally attack. Most of the cities have surrendered.”
The soldier replied," The soldiers of the various cities have been incorporated into the border army. The army has grown to 700,000.”
"Hiss!"
In the hall, the civil and military officials sucked in a breath of cold air. In one day, the army had grown from 300,000 to 700,000?
The Xia Emperor gritted his teeth. It was one thing for his son to rebel against him, but in the end, the city guards actually opened the gates and surrendered?
Was he, the emperor, so unpopular?
"Imperial Father, your son requests to go and fight Fourth Brother. I will definitely bring Fourth Brother back and let Imperial Father deal with him.”Jiang Daoji knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice.
"Your son will go with imperial brother and bring back fourth brother.”The Second Prince continued.
"Very good, I will give you a million troops, and you can choose any experts in the palace!”The Xia Emperor's face darkened." I want you to capture Fourth Brother alive. I want to personally ask him why he rebelled against me!"”
"Yes."
The two princes looked at each other and left.
"I wish the Crown Prince and the Second Prince a triumphant return.”The civil and military officials hurriedly said.
"Retreat!"
The Xia Emperor flicked his sleeve and turned to leave, heading straight for the back garden.
In the back garden, Empress Ji Qingzhu was sipping tea and admiring the flowers. Her expression was calm and without any fluctuation.
Seeing the Xia Emperor arrive, the Empress smiled and said,""Is His Majesty very unhappy?"
"How can I be happy?" The Xia Emperor gritted his teeth." Fourth and Third rebelled, and even saved Little Nine. What a good excuse for raising an army.”
"I am old and muddle-headed. The eunuchs meddle in politics, clean up the side of the emperor, and correct the royal family. What a righteous army!”
"He won't succeed." "Without the support of the martial arts world, he will definitely lose!" Ji Qingzhu said softly.”
"I know that he won't succeed. Is there any movement from your Sacred Spirit Peak?”the Xia Emperor asked.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The fate of the Xia Dynasty has yet to come. The Sacred Spirit Peak will not allow Fourth Bro to do whatever he wants.”
"He's lucky to be able to live past tonight. Xiao Jiu will also return to the God's Altar." The Empress sneered.”
"With the Empress 'words, zhen is at ease.”The Xia Emperor laughed loudly, a smile on his face, but a fierce light was hidden deep in his eyes.
Imperial power was supreme in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of this group of people, it was just a puppet.
He, as the Xia Emperor, was extremely aggrieved!
He wondered if Fourth Brother would be able to deal a heavy blow to the martial arts world this time. That way, he would be able to increase the imperial power in the future.
As for Jiang Daotian being able to reach the Imperial City?
The Xia Emperor had never thought much of him. A mere fourth son, a Martial Emperor of the mortal world, was not worthy of his attention.
