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

There was a soft knocking sound outside the tent.

"Your Highness, the spy has replied."

"Come in." Xiaoyue Jinquan didn't even look up, his brush flying across the paper.

Before long, a painting or calligraphy work was completed.

He put down the brush with satisfaction, smiled and admired it for a while, before looking at the general who had entered.

"Your Highness, we have ascertained the situation."

The general presented a scroll with both hands.

Xiaoyue Jinquan took the list and read it one by one, his expression changing as he looked at it.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, his eyes showing surprise.

"I never expected that my good-for-nothing seventh brother would have such courage."

After saying that, Xiaoyue Jinquan changed his tone, his voice becoming playful.

"So, it turns out that Fifth Brother's severed arm is also related to him."

The subordinate lowered his head, not daring to respond.

Xiaoyue Jinquan suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha! The Emperor of Liang is absolutely right. He has no brains and will only ever be a wolf cub. Look at my fifth brother, he was actually sold out by that good-for-nothing seventh brother and he's even helping him count the money."

"Should we report this to the Wolf Lord?" the general asked, bowing respectfully.

Xiaoyue Jinquan waved his hand.

"No need."

What he did has no effect on me.

After saying that, a mischievous smile appeared on his lips.

"You could even say that causing my fifth brother to lose an arm was a good thing for me."

"Besides..."

"My seventh brother has given me quite a gift."

Xiaoyue Jinquan stood up.

"Let's go and pay a visit to my seventh brother."

"Oh, right." Xiaoyue Jinquan seemed to remember something and instructed with a smile, "Bring the men along. After all, my seventh brother is not what he used to be."

"Yes!" the general replied quickly.

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

Inside the Tianji Pavilion.

Zhao Yu looked at the scene in the Heavenly Mirror and nodded secretly.

Just as I expected.

Xiaoyue Jinshang's affair could not be hidden from Xiaoyue Jinquan at all.

However, unexpectedly...

Xiaoyue Jinquan actually planted spies in Xiaoyue Jinshang's army.

This coincides with what he said when he tricked Xiaoyue Jindao.

If Xiaoyue Jindao were to learn of this, his anger would likely flare even more fiercely.

At this moment, the image on the Heavenly Mirror fluctuated again.

Zhao Yu also looked up and continued reading.

Familiar wooden table, familiar wine jug, delicious food, tent.

That's right, it's inside Xiaoyue Jinshang's tent again.

Zhao Yu even had a strange sense of familiarity.

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

A somber atmosphere permeated the tent.

Looking at Xiaoyue Jinquan in front of him and the generals beside him, Xiaoyue Jinshang felt extremely guilty.

He unconsciously leaned closer to Tuoba Hu beside him.

"Xiaoyue Jinquan, what...what are you doing here?"

His voice trembled slightly.

Xiaoyue Jinquan acted as if he hadn't heard anything.

He walked straight to the head seat.

I sat down without any hesitation.

He picked up the wine on the table and gently swirled it.

Hold it to your nose and sniff it gently.

He took a sip and clicked his tongue in admiration.

"Seventh brother, you've changed a lot."

This really impressed me.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue Jinshang thought that Xiaoyue Jinquan was praising him.

He said, with a mix of pride and fear:

"Second Brother, you flatter me. May I ask what brings you here?"

Xiaoyue Jinquan chuckled.

He said meaningfully:

"Since Seventh Brother is no longer the same as before."

"Then surely obtaining cannons from Daliang wouldn't be a problem either, right?"

The smile on Xiaoyue Jinshang's face froze instantly.

He abruptly took a step back.

"How...how did you know?"

Xiaoyue Jinquan put down his wine cup.

It makes a crisp sound.

"I know you have cannons."

I also know that Xiaoyue Jindao was ambushed by the Emperor of Liang because of your betrayal.

Xiaoyue Jinshang immediately bristled and quickly denied it.

"No...it wasn't me!"

Despite the denial, Xiaoyue Jinquan smiled.

"I was able to get here because I have evidence."

How could I not know whether you did it or not?

After saying that, he spoke slowly.

Give me the cannon, and I'll pretend nothing happened.

otherwise……"

Xiaoyue Jinshang's face turned ashen; he hadn't expected Xiaoyue Jinquan to want his manhood right away.

"impossible!

I've put so much effort into making those cannons!

Xiaoyue Jinquan narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiaoyue Jinshang.

In an instant, Xiaoyue Jinshang's imposing aura weakened, and he stammered, "Could...could we change to another one?"

Xiaoyue Jinquan snorted coldly.

"This isn't a discussion, it's a notification."

Xiaoyue Jinshang trembled all over, whether because he had been caught red-handed or because of the cannons.

His eyes were filled with resentment, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"it is good."

Xiaoyue Jinquan laughed heartily.

He didn't actually lack cannons; after all, once he entered the city, he had plenty of ways to get them.

However, he did not intend to offer up the cannon, after all, he still had to face his biggest future rival, the Howling Moon Golden Kingdom!

He got up, turned around and left.

As he reached the tent entrance, he stopped again, turned around, and said:

"By the way, today, you and your dog will retreat five miles."

"I don't want you to do anything that would make my plan look imperfect."

After saying that, he left the tent without looking back.

Only Xiaoyue Jinshang remained, standing there in a daze.

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

Inside the Tianji Pavilion.

Zhao Yu looked at the scene in the Heavenly Mirror and was somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, there was another pleasant surprise.

Instead of exposing Xiaoyue Jinshang's affair, Xiaoyue Jinquan used it to obtain cannons from Xiaoyue Jinshang.

However, after a moment's thought, he realized the purpose behind Xiaoyue Jinquan's actions.

Wolf, the first cub of the Wolf Kingdom, has fought on all sides since childhood in the Howling Moon Golden Kingdom, and has outstanding battlefield response capabilities.

Xiaoyue Jin Quan intends to recruit the Red-Clad Cannons as a trump card to counter Xiaoyue Jin Kingdom.

After all, he also realized the dominance that the red-coated cannons displayed against armies armed with cold weapons.

However, this also gave him an opportunity.

Zhao Yu looked into the Heavenly Mirror and saw the unwilling Xiaoyue Jinshang deep in thought.

I originally thought that Xiaoyue Jinshang was about to be discarded, but now it seems that I can plant a seed in Xiaoyue Jinshang's heart and make use of him again.

Zhao Yu was not an indecisive person, and upon thinking of this, he immediately decided to take action.

That concludes our discussion of the Celestial Mirror.

Zhao Yu got up and left.

The nine elders of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion responded, finished their practice, and quickly rose to respectfully see Zhao Yu off.

Zhao Yu walked out of the Tianji Pavilion.

Board the dragon carriage.

"Wei An".

"Let's depart for the Jingxin Hall."

"Bring Qiu Ping and Commander Meng over."

Wei An bowed in response.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The dragon carriage slowly started moving...
