If you're made a fake emperor, why did you change the country's name?

"Honey, are you too tired today?"

The empress lay languidly on her side, her slender fingers gently tracing Zhao Yu's cheek.

Zhao Yu stared at the ceiling above him, which was showing a double image, and felt like crying.

Even the toughest man couldn't withstand two consecutive all-nighters!

If I hadn't broken through to the Innate Realm, I probably would have been defeated last night.

"Why isn't my darling saying anything? Are you trying to hint at something to me?" The Empress's lips curled up, her eyes gleaming with cunning.

"No, no, no." Zhao Yu quickly sat up straight. "I'm just naturally quiet, please don't misunderstand, Your Majesty."

If that happens again, his undefeated record across two lifetimes will truly be broken.

The Empress covered her face and smiled.

"Hehe~ Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

She got up and stretched, revealing her stunning S-curve.

Zhao Yu had to admit that even in his previous life, he had never seen someone maintain such a good figure.

"Does that Li Fu'an need my help?" The Empress returned to the main topic.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu perked up: "You can handle it?"

The Empress chuckled lightly and said indifferently, "A mere half-step Celestial Realm cultivator? My Meng family has plenty of those."

Could it be... a rich, beautiful, and successful woman?

"How many people are in the Meng family?" Zhao Yu quickly asked.

"Two," the Empress said, holding up two delicate white fingers. "One is my younger brother, General Meng, and the other is my father."

"........."

Zhao Yu: "That's it?"

"Two aren't enough?" The Empress's beautiful eyes widened slightly, showing some dissatisfaction.

Zhao Yu's lips twitched.

Two... might not be enough.

That old eunuch once said that there were only five people in the palace whom he considered his rivals.

This shows that the old eunuch was absolutely confident in his own abilities.

But oh well, something is better than nothing, let's just consider it an extra layer of insurance.

"Then let my father-in-law come over," Zhao Yu said in a deep voice.

"Father-in-law? You've changed your tune quite quickly."

The Empress seemed to have been prepared, taking out a prepared imperial edict from beside her pillow and handing it to Zhao Yu.

"Here, stamp this so your father-in-law can enter the palace legitimately."

Zhao Yu took the imperial edict and unfolded it to read it.

The above text is an announcement that her father, Meng Baishan, has been appointed as a second-rank general in charge of the Northern Border Cloud Armor Army, and that he has been summoned to the palace to meet the emperor immediately.

A second-rank general who protects the nation...

Zhao Yu's expression didn't change much.

He had long suspected that this woman would try to smuggle something out of her, after all, he already knew how big her appetite was last night.

"This time I agree," Zhao Yu said, unfolding the imperial edict. "But you must guarantee that the Meng family will not act recklessly."

"Of course, I'm already sleeping in the same bed with you, would I really commit suicide?" The Empress rolled her eyes.

Zhao Yu nodded, turned around and took out the Ruyi Jade Seal from the system space.

He turned around and stamped the imperial edict.

The Empress's gaze instantly fell upon the imperial seal.

"Stop looking," Zhao Yu said without raising his head. "You can't handle it."

"Hmph," the Queen scoffed, "you couldn't control yourself last night either."

Zhao Yu's hand trembled, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

This big-breasted, brainless woman, as the loser, how dare she speak!

boom!

Zhao Yu slammed the imperial seal down, casually tossed the edict back to the Empress.

Be careful.

The Empress carefully put away the imperial edict.

Then she asked, "Has the person chosen to deliver the imperial edict to the Prince of Zhennan been selected? That old man is not easy to fool."

Zhao Yu waved his hand: "We already have someone in mind, but we haven't finalized the deal yet."

The Empress immediately became interested and asked curiously, "Who?"

Zhao Yu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile: "Guess. If you guess right, I'll tell you."

"You!" The Empress snorted coldly, tossing out a single sentence. "Say it or don't, I don't want to know!"

After saying that, she twisted her waist and got up from the bed.

Zhao Yu chuckled and watched the Empress leave the palace. Then, he leaned on his hands, reminiscing about the past two nights.

Tsk tsk, they've really gotten a taste for it!

As I was thinking, for some reason, the image of another woman appeared in my mind.

That ethereal, aloof face, like a fairy in a painting, that unparalleled elegance.

I wonder what her experience will be like?

Just as Zhao Yu was lost in thought, an untimely, shrill voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, there is only one hour left before court begins."

Immediately afterward, Wei An's sharp voice rang out: "Eunuch Li, how dare you! Does His Majesty need you to remind him of matters?"

Li Fu'an ignored Wei An and instead asked in a deep voice.

"Does Your Majesty intend to skip court today?"

That old dog is such an eyesore.

Zhao Yu smiled faintly and got up from the bed: "Little Wei, change your clothes."

Upon hearing this, Li Fu'an, who was outside the door, lowered his head and silently stepped aside.

In the shadows, his old face was contorted in a grimace.

Kid, after the court assembly today, I'll show you what it means to be worse than dead!

.........................

Five li outside the imperial city.

Simple tents sprang up one after another, and in just half a day, a huge village had taken shape.

Countless wolf soldiers, clad in leather armor and wielding scimitars, patrolled in all directions.

In the center of the camp, a huge banner with the character "wolf" was raised high.

Inside the central tent.

A young man dressed in a wolfskin coat sat imposingly in the main seat, holding a bowl of wine and laughing wildly.

"Hahaha! I'm the first one here! Second Brother and Fifth Brother will be at least two more days away."

"The wolf cub is mighty!"

"This wolf cub was born to be a wolf leader!"

Inside the tent, several generals clad in leather armor offered their flattery.

"Hahaha!"

This made the boy's face even happier.

Unexpectedly, I never imagined that Xiaoyue Jinshang would be the first to arrive outside the capital of Daliang.

He recalled that his father had divided the army into three parts, sending his second and fifth brothers to hunt in Daliang with him.

They also promised that whoever could be the first to reach the capital of Daliang or obtain the peace letter from that useless emperor would be rewarded with the title of "Ya"!

Teeth, claws, mane—these are the names of potential future wolf lords!

Doesn't this mean that whoever wins will be qualified to compete for the next Wolf King?

Thinking of his brothers, a hint of anger welled up in Xiaoyue Jinshang's eyes.

Second brother, fifth brother, you two always looked down on me, but you never expected that I would be the one to get this name first!

Once I become the Wolf Lord, the first thing I'll do is kill you all!

Kim Sang downed the strong liquor in his bowl in one gulp and laughed heartily.

"Generals, I, Xiaoyue Jin Shang, was able to be the first to reach this place, and your contributions are indispensable!"

After I conquer the capital and my father has rewarded us, I will swear to the Wolf God that I will make you a superior tribe in my Wolf Kingdom!

Upon hearing this, the generals were overjoyed.

"Thank you, Zilang!"

"We are willing to die for our wolves!"

The Wolf Kingdom's system was very simple: the chief wolf clan ruled over the superior tribes, the superior tribes ruled over the middle tribes, and so on, creating a strict hierarchy.

For tribes without wolf blood, becoming a superior tribe is a lifelong pursuit.

Once the old and new wolf leaders are replaced, and Jin Shangzi Wolf becomes the wolf leader, they can replace the previous superior tribes, become the true elites, and enjoy enormous wealth.

Jin Shang sat back down in the animal-skin chair with satisfaction.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he looked at the one-eyed general at the head of the group.

"Tuoba Hu, my father said that if we can get the peace letter from that useless emperor of Daliang, we will consider it a victory."

We've been here for an hour. Has that useless emperor sent anyone to deliver a peace treaty?

The one-eyed general, known as Tuoba Hu, showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Zilang, the gift has been given."

Upon hearing this, Jin Shang was overjoyed: "Then what are we waiting for! Quickly, bring it to me!"

Tuoba Hu's expression became even stranger. He took out a roll of cloth from his pocket and hesitantly handed it over.

"Zilang, what Daliang sent... wasn't a peace treaty letter."

"It's a challenge."

"What?!"

Kim Sang's smile froze instantly, and he snatched the challenge letter and unfolded it.

He was furious after just one glance and tore the challenge letter to shreds!

"How dare you! A mere useless emperor dares to say he'll cut off my head, Jin Shang!"

"If my father hadn't forbade us from killing the useless emperor, I would have tortured him for three days and three nights after we stormed the city!"

Upon seeing this, Tuoba Hu quickly stepped forward and advised, "Zilang, please calm down."

"Although the Great Liang is useless, there are still a few capable people in the palace."

Moreover, far to the south of Daliang, there is a Celestial General named Qian Batian.

His army of money is not easy to deal with.

The Wolf Lord was also considering the Wolf Kingdom's interests; taking five hundred li of territory from Daliang this time was enough.

"snort!"

Kim Sang crossed his legs unhappily, his face full of impatience.

"Alright, alright, stop using your father as leverage against me!"

Send the order! Let the men rest well! At sunset, attack the city on time!

Tonight, I will sleep in the harem of the Emperor of Liang! I will make those delicate women cry and moan beneath me!

As he spoke, Kim Sang greedily licked his lips.

"Don't worry, Zilang. Along the way, the Liang army has surrendered without hesitation whenever they see us. This small imperial city is no problem at all."

"When the time comes, Zilang will eat the good stuff, and we can find some cheap food in the city. Wouldn't that be great?"

"Hahaha!"

Inside the tent, another burst of wild laughter rang out.
