Sheng Fu

Yuwen Jun suddenly laughed and said, "If it were just a joke, my husband and I wouldn't have come here in person. Could it be that after you entered that sea of ​​suffering, you really felt some bitterness in your heart, to the point that your thoughts are confused?"

Seeing Yuwen Jun lower his brows, Prince Zhen'an finally believed him.

The prince, with his imposing appearance, chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Am I really that unreliable? First, he gifted the Holy Spirit Stone to my Iron Mang City, and now even the Dean has to personally lead the White Deer Army here."

Yuwen Jun's expression hardened, and he said calmly, "Because of this line of defense, we cannot afford to lose it. Once the Iron Mang City falls, the Three Races Alliance will be wiped out in an instant."

"It's always good to be cautious."

Prince Zhen'an understood this principle, but he still felt uncomfortable. However, this discomfort would not affect his strategic vision. He nodded and said, "When that Dean arrives, he will sit on equal footing with me."

Although we don't yet know how skilled that Dean is at leading troops, he is, after all, the Dean of Bailu Academy, so he shouldn't be too bad.

In fact, both Prince Zhen'an and Yuwen Jun and Jing Peiyao were deeply curious about the Dean's military talent.

However, Mu Chun is a very difficult opponent.

Even though the Prince of Zhen'an has already entered that sea of ​​suffering, and the Dean will soon follow suit after taking the pills made by the Heavenly Python, Yuwen Jun still believes that Xinghan City will be difficult to conquer.

The safest strategic plan now is not to conquer Xinghan City, but only to ensure the safety of Tiemang City.

"Thank you, but when necessary, you should still take the lead, as he is inexperienced after all," Yuwen Jun said with a slight bow.

Prince Zhen'an grinned and said, "Even if he is inexperienced, he is not someone that ordinary people can compare to. You can rest assured that if there are any conflicts between tactics and strategy, I will cooperate with him as much as possible."

"Of course, I've also heard about Pu Weiqing's reputation. He's a tough guy, and that's exactly what I admire most about him."

Hearing this, Jing Peiyao felt very comfortable and subconsciously poured tea for Prince Zhen'an.

Seeing the Empress's successor's humble demeanor, the Prince of Zhen'an repeatedly raised his hand to indicate, "There's no need for that. You are the Empress's successor and also the Dragon Queen. Although I am your senior, I cannot accept such formalities."

Jing Peiyao lowered her head and smiled faintly, "But we are strategic acquaintances."

"In the military, there is no distinction between superiors and inferiors or titles."

Prince Zhen'an laughed heartily and said, "That makes sense. She is indeed a heroine among women."

"Have a few drinks later."

"I'll try to get you two drunk."

Yuwen Jun and Jing Peiyao exchanged a glance out of the corner of their eyes, then said in unison, "Okay."

……

……

The capital city, the residence of the Minister of War.

The mansion was spacious, with three courtyards and three entrances. Although it could not compare with Bai Xiaowei's Prime Minister's Mansion, it was still among the grand and elegant ones.

Kong Chong had returned from the north. On his way back, he learned of Qiu Qing's death and became dispirited. Many years ago, Qiu Qing valued Kong Chong's talent and gave him a slight boost in the officialdom, which led to his later position as Minister of War.

Kong Chong was upset because he had not yet repaid the debt of gratitude. Over the years, he had never had the opportunity to do so. Most importantly, he and Qiu Qing had no personal relationship from beginning to end.

“Sigh…” Kong Chong, sitting on the threshold, sighed deeply.

Before they knew it, dusk was gradually engulfing the entire capital.

At this moment, the old steward led two middle-aged generals dressed in purple and gold armor into the mansion. One of them was named Guan Chong, who was eight feet tall, with a robust physique, a scar on his forehead, and a pair of tiger-like eyes that shone brightly. He was a late-stage Lingxiao expert.

The other person was named Huang Teng. He was about seven feet tall, thin, and handsome. He did not look like a general, but in fact he had the cultivation level of the early stage of Lingxiao.

These two men are the left and right generals under the Purple Gold Alliance.

His talent and strategy are still unknown, but he is quite prestigious in the Purple Gold Alliance, so he is probably not a kind person.

He had promised to organize an army of 30,000 for Yuwen Jun.

Guan Chong and Huang Teng were the left and right generals of this army of 30,000.

As for who led the 30,000-strong army, Kong Chong wasn't curious. He was in a low mood and didn't care about such trivial military intelligence; he would find out sooner or later anyway.

Kong Chong raised his head, glanced at Guan Chong and Huang Teng, and said casually, "You are very lucky, and you may have the opportunity to make a name for yourselves in future wars. His Highness Yuwen is a kind man and does not treat you as mere suicide soldiers."

"Never mind, you will know what kind of person His Highness Yuwen Jun is after you have a little contact with him. Come with me to the palace to meet His Majesty first."

Guan Chong and Huang Teng bowed slightly involuntarily. Although they also lamented the passing of the Prime Minister, their feelings were not particularly profound.

With the help of the butler, Kong Chong slowly stood up, stretched, took a deep breath, and then strode towards the door.

On the way to the palace, Kong Chong remained silent.

Huang Teng and Guan Chong remained silent from beginning to end.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

The emperor, dressed in casual clothes with his hair tied up and crowned, seemed to have entered a state of ruthlessness, methodically reviewing the memorials submitted by the cabinet. At the beginning of the new policy, it would be quite busy for a while.

Hopefully, this busyness can wash away the sadness of losing loved ones.

Suddenly, the Emperor raised his head, then with a slight thought, the door to the Imperial Study opened silently, and he murmured, "Come in, no need for any formalities."

After he finished speaking, Kong Chong led Huang Teng and Guan Chong to the outside of the Imperial Study. Kong Chong straightened his sleeves slightly and carefully entered the Imperial Study.

He felt very depressed, but he knew that His Majesty felt even more depressed.

"Your Majesty, I made a verbal promise in the north to provide Yuwen Jun with 30,000 elite troops. I have now brought the left and right generals with me and ask Your Majesty to make a decision."

"In this matter, I am guilty of acting first and reporting later," Kong Chong said, bowing deeply and filled with fear and trepidation.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor casually glanced at Guan Chong and Huang Teng, finding it amusing. It seemed that there were indeed capable warriors within the Purple Gold Alliance.

However, to be fair, even with the Purple Gold Alliance's army of 100,000, they could still muster a portion of elite troops.

"I have read Yuwen Jun's memorial. You shall immediately organize 30,000 troops and proceed to Hengchang Sect to join forces with Yuwen Jun. You may leave now," the Emperor said expressionlessly and in a calm tone.

Kong Chong bowed deeply and said, "Your subject obeys the decree."

Although this was just a formality, Kong Chong could not be negligent in his manners.

Even if Yuwen Jun could omit some less important procedures in many matters, the ministers in the court must never omit those procedures that are somewhat cumbersome.

After leaving the palace, I looked up and saw a sky full of stars.

"After dawn, reorganize the army at the drill ground. Walk a little slower; His Highness Yuwen is someone who likes to sleep in." Kong Chong glanced in the direction of the Prime Minister's residence and clicked his tongue. (End of Chapter)
