Upon hearing the messenger's words, Emperor Wu's face turned pale and blue.

The civil servants and military officers in the Council Hall all had different expressions on their faces at this moment.

The news came so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard, including Donghuang Wenshan and Luo Wenshan.

However, the two of them were secretly happy.

Since the young master of the Jun family left the Great Zhou Dynasty, they have had to be a little more cautious in the court.

This has led to the two of them suffering a lot of contempt and sarcasm in recent times.

After all, no one knows the situation on the border, and no one knows what kind of impact the young master of the Jun family will have after going to the Xuanwu Empire.

They don't know either.

From the very beginning, Emperor Wu sent the young master of the Jun family to the Xuanwu Empire because he wanted to kill Jun Lintian.

This also made the officials who had always supported Jun Lintian worried.

Now hearing such news, they are overjoyed.

Emperor Wu really made a bad move this time.

Let the young master of the Jun family go to the Xuanwu Empire to negotiate with Emperor Wu. If he fails, the young master of the Jun family will most likely be fine.

But if it succeeds, the benefits to the Jun family will be huge!
For example, this time when General Jun Haotian led his troops to attack the Xuanwu Empire, not only did he not lose any lives, he even gained three cities for free!
You know, these are three cities!
The first news that came was just that Jun Haotian had conquered Wuyang City and Xuanyang City, which were just two cities.

But now, the Xuanwu Empire has handed over all three cities including Suyang City.

Why is that?
It is obvious that the Xuanwu Empire is afraid of the power of the Jun family.

In the eyes of these officials, the Xuanwu Empire was a behemoth.

Moreover, the Xuanwu Empire originally made its fortune through war, so its military power was definitely not weak.

But he was beaten into his current cowardly state by Jun Haotian's 100,000 elite soldiers.

One can imagine how powerful the Jun family’s military force is!
Of course, there may be some strategies of the young master of the Jun family involved. Donghuang Wenshan and Luo Wenshan cannot figure out the details now.

The two men looked at each other without changing their expressions, and secretly decided that they would ask the young master clearly when he came back.

They never thought that the young master of the Jun family might die. Even if the young master of the Jun family died, they would not defect to Emperor Wu's army.

After all, their two families are already firmly tied to the Jun family, even if they want to return to Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu would never tolerate the existence of the two of them who are like fence-sitters.

Recently, in addition to vigorously supporting his own people, Emperor Wu has also been trying every means to suppress Luo Wenshan and Donghuang Wenshan.

They both saw it all very clearly.

The news coming from the border now really made them feel excited.

"what happened!"

Emperor Wu glared at the messenger angrily, and at this moment he could no longer conceal the anger on his face.

The messenger was frightened by Emperor Wu's aura and knelt down in a hurry.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the spies ahead, after the young master of the Jun family went to Xuanwu City, he first killed the loyal and brave marquis of the Xuanwu Empire, and then dealt with the eldest prince of the Xuanwu Empire, and also killed the King of Pingnan."

"And the eldest prince of the Xuanwu Empire was beheaded at the execution ground two days ago..."

After the messenger finished speaking, he lowered his head and said nothing.

He was afraid that Emperor Wu would vent his anger on him.

"Hiss..." The civil and military officials took a breath of cold air.

This... this is too fierce.

How come the young master of the Jun family is such a tough guy?
It would be fine if it was in the Great Zhou Dynasty. After all, this is the base camp of the Jun family, and the Jun family has extremely strong influence here.

Therefore, the young master of the Jun family can naturally do whatever he wants.

But if he went to the Xuanwu Empire, the Xuanwu Empire would never tolerate his behavior.

First he killed the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and then he killed the King of Pingnan.

Just hearing about these two titles, many people felt fear in their hearts.

The young master of the Jun family killed two generals of the Xuanwu Empire in Xuanwu City, but the Emperor Wu did not kill him?

Is it just because of Jun Haotian’s 100,000 elite soldiers?

If this is true, the power of the Jun family is too terrifying.

Especially Liu Jianan, who had just become the Minister of Personnel, couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment.

He had just gained power and surrendered to Emperor Zhou, but in the blink of an eye he heard that the Jun family was so powerful.

Liu Jianan couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and felt even more uneasy.

Joining the Emperor Zhou... Wasn't that a wrong choice?
Instead, Donghuang Wenshan and Luo Wenshan sneered in their hearts.

They had no idea about this kind of thing. Anyway, the stronger the young master of the Jun family was, the more benefits they could get.

"What else happened in Xuanwu City? Tell me quickly!"

Emperor Zhou suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke coldly to the messenger.

The messenger continued, "Your Majesty, the spies ahead said that the young master of the Jun family went to Xuanwu City and met the Emperor Wu."

"The spies didn't find out much about what was going on in the palace, but the young master of the Jun family probably fulfilled his duty as an envoy and went to negotiate with Emperor Wu."

"The result of the initial negotiation was that Emperor Wu betrothed Li Yunxin, the most beautiful woman in the Xuanwu Empire, to Jun Lintian in order to show his sincerity."

"Afterwards, it seems that the young master of the Jun family was retaliated by Xuan Fei, the former eldest prince of the Xuanwu Empire. Taking this opportunity, the young master of the Jun family eliminated the loyal and brave Marquis, the confidant of the eldest prince."

"Also... the eldest prince seems to be planning a rebellion. He even thought about leading his troops to actively fight against the Jun family's army. The Xuanwu Empire is in a bit of a mess."

"It's a little better now. After the eldest prince was beheaded, the young master of the Jun family asked Emperor Wu to restore Xuan Ling'er's mother, Cao Xirou, to the position of queen. Emperor Wu agreed. Apart from that, there is nothing else to worry about."

When Emperor Zhou heard this, his expression became increasingly gloomy.

He really didn't expect that Jun Lintian could do such an earth-shaking thing after arriving in the Xuanwu Empire.

And that Emperor Wu is such a waste.

He doesn’t even dare to deal with that little bastard Jun Lintian!
However, Emperor Zhou frowned. He always felt that Jun Lintian was just doing things for him.

After all, Jun Lintian went to the palace first to negotiate with Emperor Wu, and in the end, Emperor Wu really gave him three cities.

One possible reason why it was given to the Jun family was because it could only be given to the Jun family for the time being. After all, Emperor Zhou himself did not show up.

"Your Majesty...what about the imperial edict?" Eunuch Li at the side asked hesitantly, his face looking a little nervous.

Originally, Your Majesty wanted to take over those two cities, but now it is too late.

Emperor Zhou frowned and said, "Change it and find a way to take all three cities."

"The Jun family is a family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Naturally, the benefits they gain must be shared with the court!" (End of this chapter)
