"Yuehua, come with me to see my child, he's very cute."

"okay."

Tang Yuehua smiled and nodded, then entered the room with Bibi Dong. Inside, Ah Yin was watching over the room, and two little golden retrievers were by the bed, their eyes shining as they looked at the two little cubs sleeping soundly in their swaddling clothes.

"So cute."

Qian Renxue stretched out a finger and gently poked Gu Shuangyue's chubby little face, then gently pinched Gu Nanfeng's chubby, smooth face.

"Mmm, so cute."

Gu Qiu'er also opened her big, bright eyes.

"Xue'er was just as impressive when she was little."

Just then, Bibi Dong's gentle voice came, the curtain was lifted, and Bibi Dong led Tang Yuehua in.

"Sister Dong'er, and Sister Yuehua."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Qian Renxue quickly withdrew her sinful hand and stood ramrod straight with Gu Qiu'er, smiling guiltily.

Bibi Dong gently rubbed Qian Renxue's head. "Keep your voice down, don't wake your nephew and niece."

"Uh-huh."

Qian Renxue nodded obediently, secretly relieved.

Bibi Dong found it somewhat amusing; Xiaoxue could be quite adorable at times.

"Mom, why are my younger brother and sister always sleeping? If they sleep during the day, how can they sleep at night?"

Gu Qiu'er was clearly a novice when it came to these things, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Bibi Dong sat down on the edge of the bed, glanced at the two little ones who were sleeping soundly, and said with a smile, "Newborn babies don't have as much energy as you, so of course they need to rest more. Xue'er was the same when she was little, she needed to sleep four or five hours a day."

"oh oh."

Gu Qiu'er nodded. Qian Renxue blushed slightly and tugged at Bibi Dong's clothes shyly.

Ah Yin, who was originally in charge of looking after the children, got up and said, "Dong'er, these two children just fell asleep not long ago and won't wake up for a while. I'm going to rest for a bit. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay, you should go and get some rest."

Tang Yuehua then asked, "Dong'er, that one just now didn't seem to be your maid."

"Yes, her name is A-Yin, and she's been with me for a long time."

"so."

Tang Yuehua nodded, then looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes on the bed and smiled, "They really look like you two. When they grow up, they can come to my Yuexuan to play often."

“Well, I’ll definitely have them bother you more often,” Bibi Dong said with a smile.

"There's no question of disturbing you," Tang Yuehua shook her head slightly. "I think these two children like it quite a bit."

The cozy days were short-lived. The next day, Gu Han threw himself back into work, busy with basic matters such as arranging accommodation for the newly arrived refugees.

Although these matters could be left to the elders and bishops in various regions to handle themselves, Gu Han was not entirely at ease with them. He insisted on personally overseeing and participating in every matter, and would also use his Yang Spirit to travel to various regions to assess the specific circumstances and formulate more suitable solutions.

The war between the two empires intensified. Without the intervention of the Title Douluo on the front line, the Heaven Dou Empire fell into a slump and kept sending requests for help to the Spirit Hall.

The Spirit Hall stated that it would only restrict the experts of the Star Luo Empire, and could not help with anything else.

"Too deceiving!"

Xue Xing was furious. The Spirit Hall had demanded a duchy and a large city from him just to help him fend off the experts from the Star Luo Sect. This was utterly outrageous!

However, this was not the end of the story, as one piece of bad news after another reached Xuexing's ears.

"Your Majesty, it's terrible! The Four Elements City has declared independence!!"

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! A mutiny has broken out in Dragon City! The local Soul Master families have all rebelled under the coercion of the rebel army!!"

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! A violent earthquake has struck Beihai City!!"

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Barak River has breached its banks!!"

"Your Majesty, just a few days ago, the volcanic cluster in the Duchy of Tianshuang erupted, causing severe damage to the area. The Duchy of Tianshuang has requested five trillion gold soul coins in aid from the Empire."

"Your Majesty, the situation at the front is dire! The Star Luo army has already reached the gates of Soto!"

"Ah, pfft!!!"

One piece of bad news after another reached Xue Xing's ears. The emperor finally could not bear it any longer, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His vision went black, and he collapsed straight onto the court.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!!"

"Quickly, summon the imperial physician!!"

The ministers were shocked and quickly surrounded the area, with some running out to call for the imperial physician.

When Xuexing woke up again, she looked weak and had aged considerably.

"How's it going at the front?"

"Your Majesty, General Ye has already led his troops to the front lines to provide support. You must take good care of your health."

The ministers knelt outside the dragon throne. Upon hearing Xue Xing's weak voice, one of them quickly spoke up.

"Your Majesty, please take care of your health."

The ministers all shouted in unison.

Ning Fenglin grabbed the imperial physician's arm and asked in a low voice, "Lord Wang, how is His Majesty's health?"

"This"

The imperial physician was an elderly man with a white beard. Faced with Ning Fenglin's question, he opened his mouth slightly, unsure whether to speak or not.

"Sir, please take these and use them to buy more medicinal herbs."

Ning Fenglin secretly slipped a card worth 100,000 gold soul coins to the imperial physician.

"Alas, Lord Ning, you have truly put me in a difficult position."

The imperial physician sighed and said, "His Majesty's anger has triggered his heart attack. Normally, given His Majesty's age, he could recover with some rest, but he has engaged in too much sexual activity over the years, which has weakened his body. After this incident, I'm afraid he won't last more than five years."

"Is there any way to prolong life?" Ning Fenglin asked in a low voice, a thought flashing through his mind.

The imperial physician stroked his beard, and Ning Fenglin gave him another card. The physician then said helplessly, "To be honest, my medical skills are mediocre. If Ye Renxin were here, he might be able to extend His Majesty's life by five or six years."

"Thank you for informing me, sir."

"Well, it's not a secret."

Chapter 324 The Heavenly Struggle Ends in Defeat, the Siege of Wei to Rescue Zhao

Although news of events in the Heavenly Dou court did not reach Xingluo, the disasters and upheavals occurring in various places could not be concealed. Upon receiving this news, the Xingluo Emperor was overjoyed.

"Hahaha, Heaven is on my side! Issue my decree: launch a full-scale attack, capture Soto and Barak in one fell swoop, and march on Jialing Pass!!"

Dai Hao hadn't heard such good news in a long time, and he felt refreshed. He immediately set up a banquet to celebrate in advance.

At the banquet, the ministers all flattered Dai Hao, praising his wisdom and prowess.

After a barrage of flattery, Dai Hao felt elated, and the resentment he had accumulated from his previous defeat at the Spirit Hall vanished completely. He seemed to already see himself destroying the Heavenly Dou and sweeping across the universe.

Wuhun City.

Gu Han stood on the city wall, looking at the bustling traffic outside the city. Compared with the outside world, Wuhun City was a paradise.

A carrier pigeon flew to Gu Han's side, and Gu Han reached out and took the letter from the pigeon's leg to examine it.

The text on it was short, but it contained all the major events that had happened in Tiandou, including Xuexing's serious illness and coughing up blood.

Gu Han wasn't worried about Xue Xing's physical condition; he was more concerned about the situation on the front lines. He had considered that Tian Dou would be defeated, but he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.

"They're really useless."

Gu Han silently complained to himself, no wonder Dai Mubai said in the original work that if it weren't for the Spirit Hall's interference, the Heavenly Dou would have been wiped out by the Star Luo long ago.

"We may lose in a battle against the heavens, but we must not lose so quickly."

Gu Han thought to himself, but if they were to face the enemy head-on, even if the Spirit Hall had firearms, there was still a risk of heavy casualties against the Star Luo army, which was in high spirits.

However, troops still need to be sent out, but Gu Han does not intend to go to the main battlefield. Instead, he plans to use a strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao".

Since the Star Luo army is on the main battlefield, its domestic defenses must be weak. When the army presses on the Star Luo capital, the front lines will inevitably be in chaos, forcing them to come back to Star Luo's aid. If Tian Dou is not foolish, he can quickly launch a counterattack, capture the captured cities and passes, and rebuild the defenses, thus allowing the war to continue in a stalemate.

In this way, the Spirit Hall will have more time to conserve its strength and wait for the right opportunity to destroy the two great empires in one fell swoop.

Although he had already made a decision, Gu Han still convened a meeting of elders to solicit opinions from the worshippers and elders.

Although the Spirit Hall at this time could be said to be a one-man show by him and Bibi Dong, that was the result of the full support of the Qian family's Hall of Worship. Although the outcome of such a major event was predetermined from the beginning, nothing that needed to be done could be omitted.

We must give the Elders' Hall and the Offering Hall enough respect in order to avoid a lot of obstacles when getting things done.

Imagine you are one of the major shareholders of a group, but when the current president makes a major decision, he doesn't even hold a meeting. How would you feel?

Even if he was overthinking it, Gu Han still chose to give all the worshippers and elders a sense of participation.

"Elder Judgment's plan is excellent, I agree." Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded slightly and was the first to express his opinion.

Qian Xunji nodded: "Since the power of the Spirit Hall has been handed over to the Arbitration Elder, this matter shall proceed according to the Arbitration Elder's plan."

"Raise your hand if you agree."

With the support of these two individuals, the rest of the people naturally had no objections, and it passed unanimously without any suspense.

"Elder Judge, proceed according to your plan. You may also freely mobilize the other retainers and elders."

Qian Xunji's words implied that all the combat forces of the Spirit Hall, including the enshrined members and elders, must unconditionally cooperate with Gu Han's command.

"Yes."

Gu Han nodded and said, "This matter only requires three people. I will trouble Elder Qianjun, Elder Jiangmo, and Elder Du to come with me. The other elders can each perform their duties."

"Okay, I can loosen up my muscles again."

Since returning to the Spirit Hall, Demon-Slaying Douluo had been feeling uneasy, constantly looking for someone to fight and stretch his muscles. When Gu Han invited him this time, he naturally had no objections and his eyes gleamed with excitement.

Compared to Demon-Slaying Douluo, Thousand-Pound Douluo was much more composed, his heart filled with utmost solemnity.

On this trip to Xingluo, we will inevitably encounter that Limit Douluo of the Holy Sect, as well as the Holy Sect's possible trump cards. We absolutely cannot be careless.

Although Dugu Bo hadn't expected that he was involved, he still nodded in agreement.
