Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

Upon arriving at the sacred hot spring pool, the Empress immediately gestured for them to proceed.

"Please go first, my lady."

Su Liang chuckled and casually replied.

"This spiritual spring is indeed very comfortable. If it is combined with some ancient prescriptions and some spiritual flowers and herbs, the effect will definitely be even better."

"Unfortunately, these ancient prescriptions contain too many rare and precious flowers and herbs, making it extremely difficult to collect them all."

"Next time I return to Taihao Academy, I can visit the Treasure Pavilion."

After Su Liang and the Empress soaked in the spiritual spring together, Su Liang also thought of the ancient recipes for soaking in spiritual springs that he had seen in some books when he was at Taihao Academy.

These ancient formulas for spiritual springs are truly miraculous; they can calm the mind, refresh the spirit, and nourish both the body and soul.

"Are there any other prescriptions like this?"

The Empress was somewhat curious. Currently, various matters both inside and outside the Qin Dynasty were causing her a great deal of trouble. Although she remained calm and composed, she could only smile bitterly at times and go to the spiritual spring to relieve her worries.

"Of course, some of the spiritual flowers and herbs are extremely rare. Ordinary prescriptions, when placed in this natural spiritual spring, become dregs."

Although Su Liang would soon be leaving the capital for the frontier, the couple still chatted quite easily at this time.

"If we can hold this position, we can open up another medicinal garden here and plant many spiritual flowers and herbs in it."

The Empress raised her hand and pointed to the spacious open space around her.

In fact, she had this idea when she first dug out the Lingquan Spring.

However, there were too many things to do both inside and outside the Qin Dynasty, so this matter could not be done for a long time.

“Great! I’ve heard that this Marquis of Dingnan once swept across nine kingdoms and collected nine dragon veins. This time, we’ll go meet him and take his nine dragon veins.”

Marquis Dingnan was one of the Ten Sages of the Martial Temple of the Qianheng Holy Dynasty, but Su Liang was not afraid of him at all. On the contrary, he was full of fighting spirit and very confident.

"Thank you for your hard work this time."

The Empress spoke with great pity and heartache, revealing that she did not actually require Su Liang to go to the border to fight against the Marquis of Dingnan.

However, the Qin Dynasty is currently in a precarious state, with a shallow foundation and very few capable people.

Ordinary generals would most likely be no match for the Marquis of Dingnan.

"It's nothing. Taking care of my wife and sharing her burdens is simply my duty."

Su Liang said completely unconcerned; this was his truest thought.

Hearing Su Liang's words, Jun Hongyan was deeply moved.

She had always known how good Su Liang was to her, but most of the time, Su Liang would do things quietly rather than say them out loud.

But whether someone is good to you or not isn't determined by what they say, but by what they do.

“Husband, I won’t let you go this time. I’ll send General Lü instead.”

After a moment's thought, the Empress suddenly spoke.

The General Lü mentioned by the Empress is Lü Feiyun, a rising star general of the Qin Dynasty.

A young general versus a veteran, a rising star versus the mighty Marquis of Dingnan – this situation seems absurd no matter how you look at it.

"It's okay, don't worry about me."

"There are too many things happening in and around the Qin Dynasty right now, so you don't need to worry too much. There's always a way out. Things will work themselves out."

"Many things should be left to their natural course, and one should strive for what is inevitable."

Su Liang gently held the Empress in his arms, and the couple thoroughly enjoyed this moment of tranquility.

Su Liang is very strong, but he is not indestructible or immortal.

Facing the pressure from the Marquis of Dingnan and the two pillars of the empire, Su Liang must be feeling quite burdened. Moreover, there are also hidden enemies like the Yellow Spring Ghost Sect, which are absolutely troublesome and impossible to guard against.

"My husband, let me give you a massage."

At this moment, the Empress gently massaged Su Liang's shoulders and back using ancient methods to help him relax.

Su Liang naturally wouldn't refuse, and felt completely relaxed and comfortable enjoying his wife's tenderness.

An hour later, when Su Liang and the Empress returned to their palace wrapped in bath towels, they discovered that there was an extra battle report on the communication jade slip.

This battle report was sent to the two by the God of War via a telepathic jade slip. The fact that a battle report was sent at this time shows that the matter was of utmost importance.

Su Liang immediately began to investigate with a thought.

"Is this Marquis of Dingnan really that powerful?"

Su Liang was extremely shocked at this moment. Previously, Marquis Dingnan had taken a break, and it was thought that after the army had been traveling long distances and conquering many cities, he had also begun to rest.

Su Liang now realized that the so-called rest and recuperation was just a feint.

After a brief silence, the Marquis of Dingnan suddenly erupted.

In such a short time, he was as swift as lightning, conquering seventy-two cities of the Great Qin and breaking through the Great Qin's last line of defense for eight hundred miles!

That's why the God of War sent the urgent battle report to their communication jade slips at this time.

"It seems I'll have to set off under the cover of night. That young general Lü Feiyun we discussed before can come with me."

Su Liang had a good impression of Lü Feiyun because Lü Feiyun was the grandson of Lü Zhenshan, a famous general of the Qin Dynasty.

When he was in the capital, he did things his own way, had clear likes and dislikes, and offended almost every powerful and influential person he disliked.

Because of his privileged background, being the only direct descendant of the Lü family, he was always protected by Lü Zhenshan, while others were always itching to get rid of him but were helpless.

Later, he led eight hundred light cavalry and almost stormed into the capital of the Wuhuan Dynasty, thus becoming famous in one battle.

"it is good."

The Empress readily agreed this time. Lü Feiyun displayed his talent and the bearing of a great general, but lacked...

work out.

He had no chance of winning if he went to face the Marquis of Dingnan alone, but if he went with Su Liang, he could not only improve his skills but also share the burden with Su Liang.

"Without further ado, I set off under the cover of night."

Su Liang understood that after losing seventy-two more cities, the people of Qin would be in a state of panic, and if they suffered another defeat, all their previous efforts would probably be in vain.

Let's leave tomorrow.

The Empress wanted to keep Su Liang for another day of rest, but she was also quite helpless.

"It's alright, it won't be long before I return victorious."

After Su Liang finished speaking, he went directly to the command platform to select the generals.

This is not about eradicating evil cultivators, but a major battle between two armies.

A general's strength lies in strategy, not brute force. In battles at this level, no matter how brave he is, his impact on the overall situation is quite limited.

Inside the general's mansion, Lü Feiyun looked up at the sky, feeling utterly bored.

At the same time, he was also wondering if the Qin Dynasty still had a 30% chance of winning.

"Young master, what are you thinking about?"

One of the guards spoke slowly, and Xian Lü Feiyun asked.

"I'm wondering how long the Qin Dynasty can hold out."

(The next day, we counted the tickets again.)

Chapter 677 Deploying Troops and Generals, Imminent Departure

"Young master, please be careful with your words. This matter must not be spoken carelessly."

Upon hearing Lü Feiyun's words, the waiter standing nearby was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground.

The reason why there is peace and tranquility in and around the capital is that no one is showing any fear or apprehension.

On the one hand, there were frequent reports of victories at the front, and on the other hand, after so much time had passed, the war between the Qianheng Holy Dynasty and the Great Qin Dynasty had indeed had little impact on the capital.

Even more importantly, at the point where the two sides clashed, those who spread negative rumors were all arrested and had their tongues cut out by Bai Yujing.

Without these people disrupting morale, the capital was naturally very stable. With no problems in the capital, it was as secure as Mount Tai. People all over the Qin Dynasty felt very hopeful.

"Hahaha... Look how scared you are! Do you think it won't happen if we don't talk about it?"

"If there is no perfect solution and we continue to delay like this, at most six months later, we will both be people who have lost our country."

Lu Feiyun spoke in a very relaxed and casual manner.

This waiter was Lü Feiyun's study companion. At this moment, after looking around, he mustered up his courage and asked in a low voice.

"Young master, do we really have no hope at all?"

"Yes, as long as the capital city falls and there are still people who haven't given up, there is hope. But right now, I don't seem to see any hope at all."

After Lu Feiyun finished speaking, he slowly sat up.

At that moment, a guard indeed came galloping over from a distance.

"Young General, Lord Su Liang is preparing to depart under cover of night for the southern border and invites you to join him."

Originally, Lü Feiyun was relaxed and lazy, but upon hearing this, he immediately perked up.

After waiting for so long, finally someone has come to the senses. At this point, we shouldn't be holding a victory celebration to boost morale; instead, we should continue to mitigate the crisis.

"Prepare your mounts, take your armor, and bring me my halberd!"

After Lü Feiyun spoke, the many waiters busied themselves.

A moment later, a mixed-blood black unicorn carried Lü Feiyun into the sky and soon appeared on the command platform.

"Do you have any recommended generals?"

After Lü Feiyun arrived, Su Liang went straight to the point and asked her questions.

"Yes! Gao Jin, Chai Rong!"

Lu Feiyun already felt that Su Liang was extraordinary, and now, after their first encounter, he was even more certain that this cultivator, known as the number one genius of the human race, was indeed extraordinary!

"Please invite Gao Jin and General Chai Rong to come here."

Su Liang didn't waste any words. Despite being the ruler of the Great Qin Dynasty and the Empress's husband, he had no idea about his own family's wealth.

Now, apart from Lü Feiyun, he knows nothing about the other generals.
