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

Imperial Mausoleum, Tianji Pavilion.

Zhao Yu walked into the pavilion with ease and sat directly on the Heavenly Mystery Chair.

"Let's begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, the nine elders of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion responded.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

They then sat cross-legged on several key nodes of the giant array.

As they channeled their inner energy, an invisible energy fluctuation spread out once again.

hum!

The Heavenly Mirror in the very center slowly rose again, its surface rippling with light, gradually revealing a clear image...

……

The scene features a familiar wooden table and familiar fine wines and delicacies.

This was Xiaoyue Jinshang's central command tent.

At this moment, Xiaoyue Jinshang was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth anxiously, his face full of panic.

"Damn Xiaoyue Jinquan! He actually used the people of Daliang as human shields! How could I not have thought of such a despicable tactic!"

"Now look what's happened! If he wins this battle, the title of 'Father Khan' will definitely be his! What should we do now?"

Tuoba Hu, standing to the side, also frowned, at a loss for what to do.

Just then, a hurried voice came from outside the tent.

"Your Highness, Clan Chief, a letter has arrived from the 'Distinguished Guest'!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue Jinshang's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted, "Quick! Come in!"

A young bodyguard strode in and presented a letter with both hands.

The two eagerly took the letter, opened it, and their expressions quickly changed from gloomy to ecstatic.

Xiaoyue Jinshang slapped his thigh and burst into excited laughter.

"Hahaha! As expected of the Prime Minister of Liang, you truly have a brilliant plan!"

"As long as the news of Xiaoyue Jinquan using civilians to attack the city reaches the Qin and Mang kingdoms, they will definitely take the opportunity to put pressure on Father Khan, and may even directly send troops to harass him!"

He grinned mischievously.

"After all, that fool Jin Quan of Xiaoyue has caused countless troubles for the armies of those two countries on the border in order to show off his 'ability'! When the time comes, Father Khan will definitely step in and severely reprimand Jin Quan in order to quell public anger!"

Tuoba Huye nodded repeatedly and echoed, "Your Highness is wise! Moreover, Gan Qing is willing to help us solve the most crucial speed problem."

As long as we take his token to various towns in Daliang and hand it over to the Gan family, the Gan family will help us spread the news throughout the city.

At that time, the spies planted by Qin and Wang Mang will naturally not let such a good opportunity pass by, and within two days, they will surely elicit a reaction from both countries!

"Okay! Okay!"

Xiaoyue Jinshang was overjoyed.

"Perfect timing! That good-for-nothing Xiaoyue Jindao returned his cavalry to me! Let them do it! Pass down the order to immediately change into Liang Dynasty attire and deliver the token!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Tuoba Hu bowed in response and was about to leave when he remembered something and frowned, asking, "Your Highness, if the Two Wolves attack within the next two days..."

Xiaoyue Jinshang was stunned. Only then did he realize that, given his second brother's personality, how could he possibly drag it out for so long?

"This...this...Gan Qing didn't say anything about this either?"

"How about... I go and stall Xiaoyue Jinquan for a bit?"

"No!" Tuoba Hu refused outright. "The Second Prince is different from the Fifth Prince. The Second Prince is naturally wise. He will likely be exposed in just a few words, and then he will be in trouble."

"What should we do then?" Xiaoyue Jinshang asked, somewhat flustered.

Tuoba sighed and said, "We can only hope that the useless emperor of Daliang can withstand this attack."

……

Inside the Tianji Pavilion.

Looking at the scene in the Heavenly Mirror, Zhao Yu wasn't angry; instead, the corners of his mouth turned up in a smile.

Just as he had imagined.

Xiaoyue Jinshang, under Tuoba Hu's instigation, had long since gone down a completely dark path.

Now, betraying the Wolf Kingdom is something they've become quite adept at.

However, Xiaoyue Jinshang is about to be completely drained of its value and has fallen into a real trough.

After all, Xiaoyue Jinquan noticed something was wrong with Xiaoyue Jinshang last time, and the standoff will probably return soon. At that time, this piece will be difficult to use.

Zhao Yu snapped out of his thoughts and spoke calmly.

"Next."

The image on the mirror rippled in response...

……

The scene still features the same wild tent, but unlike before, the knife racks on both sides, which used to be full of weapons, are now empty.

This tent is none other than the camp of Xiaoyue Jindao.

At this moment, Xiaoyue Jindao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He grabbed the collar of the doctor in front of him and questioned him angrily.

"Tell me! Why did my cultivation level suddenly decline?!"

The physician trembled with fear and explained in a shaky voice, "Your Highness... Your cultivation method is special. It is currently resonating with your body and trying to find its own balance."

Just like... just like a normal person who suddenly loses their sight, their hearing and sense of smell become exceptionally acute, your body... is also automatically searching for a new balance.

"Balance? I don't need this kind of balance!"

With a single palm strike, Xiaoyue Golden Blade shattered the doctor's head!

Blood and brain matter splattered all over his face, making his already ferocious appearance even more terrifying.

"Aaaaaah!!"

He looked up and let out a roar that sounded inhuman.

"Damn Emperor of Liang! Damn traitor! I, Xiaoyue Golden Blade, swear to the heavens that I will tear you to pieces!!!"

……

Inside the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, Zhao Yu's lips twitched.

The Howling Moon Golden Blade is actually quite easy to understand.

They resort to violence at the drop of a hat, and kill in a fit of rage at the slightest provocation, but...

This way it's easier to control.

Let the anger burn freely in his heart, and wait for the final moment when it will completely erupt.

Then, the real show will begin.

Zhao Yu's lips curled up slightly.

"Next."

The image on the Celestial Mirror began to fluctuate once more...

……

This time, the scene appears in a newly built wooden house.

The wooden house was not large, but it was decorated very elegantly. Several paintings and calligraphy hung on the walls, and writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones were placed on the table, making it look like the home of a reclusive scholar.

However, this place will only be the residence of the second son of the Wolf Kingdom, Xiaoyue Jinquan!

In the picture, a flamboyant Xiaoyue Jinquan sits upright at his desk like a true scholar, holding a brush and intently wielding his brush on the rice paper.

He looked like a talented scholar who had been immersed in his studies for many years.

……

Inside the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, Zhao Yu watched this scene with a sense of speechlessness.

To appear scholarly, they even built a wooden hut in the military camp in front of the station, truly believing they had secured victory.

Moreover, he would never do something so absurd as to build a wooden hut, a completely meaningless structure.

If we're going to build something, it should be something like a wine pool and meat forest, or a meat screen – these are the kinds of cost-effective buildings!
