Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Upon hearing the maid's words, Lu Chen realized that there was a military conference today, mainly to discuss the reform of the new army and the upcoming war with the major forces in the Misty World.

After wasting so many days, it's time to get back to work. With that thought, Lu Chen gently stroked Mu Yunxi's beautiful face, gazing into her charming eyes, and said, "My wife, I have an important meeting today, so I won't stay with you any longer."

"You should get some rest now."

Mu Yunxi said softly, "Mm."

She didn't say anything more. Since Lu Chen was busy, she couldn't continue to provoke him at this time. If she continued to provoke him, he would definitely continue to torment her in order to suppress her.

At this moment, Lu Chen wrapped his arms around Mu Yunxi's waist and rolled over, placing Mu Yunxi's soft and delicate body beneath him. Then, he leaned down and gently kissed Mu Yunxi's lips.

A moment later, Lu Chen got up from Mu Yunxi and went straight to the bath. Mu Yunxi was also planning to get up, but as soon as she did, she collapsed again, feeling weak all over.

Although Lu Chen used the Rejuvenating Hand to treat Mu Yunxi's injuries and help her recover some strength while they were doing that, Lu Chen brought her more than just physical sensations.

She had been in a state of extreme excitement, but now she suddenly relaxed, and her whole body went limp.

Seeing that she had no strength left, Mu Yunxi could only watch Lu Chen's departing figure, and then said resentfully, "Respectfully seeing off Your Majesty!"

After Lu Chen entered the room where the bath was located, Mu Yunxi sighed slightly. This was the first time that it had happened for several days in a row.

The future is long, and I don't know how she will be able to bear it...

She could sense that although Lu Chen seemed to be cultivating, his real intention was to enjoy himself; he was a lecherous man.

She must already be a plaything in Lu Chen's eyes. The thought of being tormented by Lu Chen like he has been these past few days filled her with an indescribable feeling.

Is there a hint of sadness, yet also a faint hope?

Wait... looking forward to it?

How could she possibly expect this bastard to torment her!

Thinking of this, Mu Yunxi quickly shook her head, trying to stop herself from letting her mind wander.

She could let this bastard possess her body, but she couldn't let him completely possess her heart as well.

Immediately, Mu Yunxi circulated her internal energy to expel the impurities from her body. Once the toxins were expelled, her stomach returned to its original state.

Looking at her flat stomach, Mu Yunxi breathed a slight sigh of relief. She thought something serious had happened, but it turned out to be just some accumulated impurities. Thank goodness.

She had heard from the palace maids that Lu Chen had a special ability: he could get his woman pregnant in just one night.

She had looked at her stomach and thought she might have gotten pregnant, since it had been several days, not just one.

Now it seems I was overthinking it. She was at least at the Creation Realm, and Lu Chen had also cultivated to the Creation Realm. How could they possibly conceive so easily?

After taking a bath and getting dressed with the help of palace maids, Lu Chen used his teleportation ability to arrive at the entrance of the Imperial Study.

At this moment, Zhuge Chongguang and the others were already waiting at the entrance of the Imperial Study. Upon seeing Lu Chen arrive, they all bowed in unison and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen said calmly, "No need for formalities, please come in!"

Lu Chen then entered the Imperial Study first, and everyone else quickly followed.

After entering the Imperial Study, the group first discussed some training issues for the new army. Time was tight and the task was heavy. When the forces of Great Xia and the Misty World were negotiating, the War Dragon Army would start its first battle. Therefore, the training task was very urgent for the War Dragon Army.

The first War Dragon Army must be operational before the Great Xia and the Misty World reach a peace agreement.

After discussing the training of the War Dragon Army, the group encountered another problem: how to make a rapid advance for the War Dragon Army this time.

Since it's a peace negotiation, heavy weapons like rune cannons can't be taken out directly. The forces in the Misty World aren't stupid. If they're going to negotiate, why would they bring Great Xia's heavy weapons? They might realize something's wrong later.

Those civil officials who went to make contact with the Misty World this time will definitely pass on some information about Great Xia to the forces in the Misty World. As a result, Great Xia's firearms will no longer be able to be hidden.

Although rune weapons are not firearms, they are far more powerful than firearms. However, in the eyes of the forces in the Misty World, firearms are the most powerful weapons of the Great Xia. Yet, during the peace talks, the Great Xia brought its most powerful weapons. Does this look like they are here to negotiate?

Most importantly, the invaders in the Misty World are all at the Dao Integration stage, which is equivalent to the pseudo-celestial beings in this world, and their perception is exceptionally strong.

Moreover, the various factions involved in the peace talks will certainly send people to be on guard.

When the time comes, it won't be easy for the War Dragon Army to break into the battlefield.

Of course, there is another problem. Once the rune cannon is used, when the first mushroom cloud rises, those forces will definitely realize that they have been tricked. Faced with the powerful rune cannon, they will inevitably scatter and flee.

Although the soldiers of the War Dragon Army were all ninth-rank soldiers, even ninth-rank martial artists were unable to chase down cultivators in the Dao Integration stage with rune-inscribed cannons.

The difference in physical fitness between cultivators and martial artists is still quite obvious, especially when a cultivator's body is filled with spiritual energy.

If the disciples of the various powers were to escape, they would inevitably slaughter the people of Great Xia to vent their anger. This would be another disaster for the people of Great Xia, who would likely blame the Great Xia court for the disaster, which would certainly be detrimental to their morale.

After some discussion, the generals still couldn't come up with a good way to enter the battlefield. At this moment, Lu Chen spoke to the maid at the door and said, "Summon Qin Yushan."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, the military officers in the Imperial Study were all puzzled. Why summon Qin Yushan, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, at this time?

The Embroidered Uniform Guard was only responsible for intelligence, not for fighting.

Just as people were filled with confusion, Qin Yushan arrived at the imperial study, "Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen said, "No need for formalities."

After Qin Yushan stood up, he glanced at the military officers in the imperial study and knew that they must be holding a military meeting. He himself was also very puzzled as to why the emperor would summon him, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, at this time.

Lu Chen then asked, "Minister Qin, if we set off from Yancheng now and travel as fast as possible to Fengyin Island, how long would it take?"

Qin Yushan immediately replied, "Your Majesty, our Embroidered Uniform Guard soldiers will return from Fengyin Island in just half a month."

"Now the trains have reached the southeast coast, and there are steamships at sea, so the travel time has been greatly shortened compared to before."

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "I see."

Lu Chen then said to everyone in the Imperial Study, "Since we can't come up with a good solution, let's put these issues aside for now and focus on training the new army. We must ensure that the new army is combat-ready before formal peace talks begin."

"I will be going to Fengyin Island in the next month."

This……

Everyone was stunned when they heard Lu Chen's words.

Why did the emperor go to Fengyin Island at this crucial moment?

What are we going to do on Fengyin Island?

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then continued, "This time, I will go to Fengyin Island with Consort Mu and Consort Liu, without any attendants."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, everyone was about to say that doing so was dangerous, but then they thought that it seemed that no one in the Tianchen World could threaten their Emperor at present.

Unlike the civil officials, these military officers were well aware of Lu Chen's strength.

In the end, no one tried to persuade Lu Chen.

Since the emperor was going to Fengyin Island at this time, it proved that he had something important to do. Considering the special metal materials they obtained from Fengyin Island, everyone guessed that there must be something on Fengyin Island that could solve the problems they had mentioned earlier.

At this point, Lu Chen continued, "Alright, that concludes today's military meeting. After you all return, continue to ponder the issue of building the new army. If you come up with any good ideas, write them down and submit them to me. I will read them slowly after I return from Fengyin Island."

After Lu Chen finished speaking, he vanished from the spot. The generals bowed to Lu Chen's seat and said, "Respectfully seeing off Your Majesty!"

After leaving the Imperial Study, Lu Chen went directly to Qingqiu Palace. At this time, Liu Qingqiu was meditating and cultivating in the pavilion. After sensing Lu Chen's aura, she suddenly opened her eyes.

Then Liu Qingqiu stood up, looked Lu Chen up and down, and said, "Why is Your Majesty not next door with your newly acquired beauty, but has come here to do something?"

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Is my wife jealous?"

Liu Qingqiu chuckled and said, "Why would I be jealous?"

"Speak, what brings you here to see me?"

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Lu Chen usually comes to her to play with her body, but he just spent several days and nights playing with Mu Yunxi, so it's impossible that he's thinking about this kind of thing again so soon.

This guy just went to the Imperial Study, so he probably encountered something. That's why he came to see me this time; he probably has something to ask me.

Hearing Liu Qingqiu's words, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Can't I just simply think of my wife and come to see her?"

Liu Qingqiu snorted and said, "I am not like your wives and concubines in the harem. I never believe your nonsense." (End of this chapter)
