Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

In the palace of the King of Chu.

Chu Jiangliu was sitting in the pavilion. His battle-hardened face showed the traces of time that were difficult to conceal.

He was originally younger than Lin Bai, but now that Lin Bai is still young, Chu Jiangliu Bian looks like he has reached middle age.

Sitting in the pavilion, Chu Jiangliu held a book on the art of war, sometimes frowning, sometimes looking happy, as if he had his own opinions on the art of war.

But after watching for a while, Chu Jiangliu couldn't hide the anxiety in his heart. He frowned and threw the military book on the table. He stood up and put his hands behind his back, looking up at the world outside the Prince Chu's palace.

"My lord, I still can't calm down."

At this time, a beautiful woman as beautiful as a flower came. She was the fifth princess of the Shenwu Kingdom, and was also Chu Jiangliu's wife, and she had a son for Chu Jiangliu.

"The ancient Loulan Kingdom in Beizhou is about to move, and Prince Qilin personally leads a million-strong army to approach Dongzhou."

"The Poison God Family of Nanzhou has united with thousands of people in Nanzhou and is ready to attack. The Poison God Family will use poison to kill all living beings within millions of miles of the border."

"The monks from Xizhou preached vigorously in the Lingnan Imperial City and regained believers. This caused a huge uproar in the imperial city and breed many evil and evil people."

"The Yutian Army, the Yulong Army, and the Chu Family Army all have generals who led their troops to escape from the Shenwu Kingdom. They are fleeing and colluding with the remnants of the Great Witch Dynasty and other dynasties to form a rebel army!"

"Shenwu Kingdom is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, and as the King of Chu of Shenwu Kingdom, the supreme prince of Shenwu Kingdom, His Majesty Emperor Xiao has appointed me as the general of the entire territory, but I can only sit at home and study!"

The more Chu Jiangliu thought about it, the angrier he became. He raised his hand and smashed all the military books on the table into powder.

The fifth princess was so frightened that her whole body trembled and her beauty turned pale.

"Husband, don't worry, it will all pass." The fifth princess said softly, walked to Chu Jiangliu, and clung to his back gently.

Sensing the tenderness of the fifth princess, the anger in Chu Jiangliu's heart gradually dissipated a lot. He sat on the stool in despair, putting his hand on his forehead with an anxious look on his face.

"Even if my husband wants to lead troops on an expedition now, the civil servants in the court will not agree."

"After all, the last time they impeached you, they said you respected yourself by supporting the army. If you now ask the eldest sister to lead troops on an expedition, they will also be suspicious."

"Besides, under the current situation, the eldest sister must have her own considerations for letting you stay in the Lingnan Imperial City."

"Don't resent the eldest sister's decision. Sometimes, the eldest sister can't help herself."

The fifth princess comforted her softly.

Chu Jiangliu let out a long sigh: "Xiao Wu, you know that I have no resentment in my heart towards His Majesty Xiao Emperor. I also know that it is not easy for His Majesty Emperor Xiao."

"In the past few years, Shenwu has suffered from domestic and foreign troubles. His Majesty, Emperor Xiao, has been heartbroken by these things."

"Your Majesty knows my loyalty and knows that I will not rebel. I also know that Your Majesty values ​​me and will not take away my military power."

"I even know... His Majesty the Xiao Emperor's intention of keeping me in the Lingnan Imperial City."

Chu Jiangliu's eyebrows were raised, and he was full of authority.

The fifth princess asked: "Do you know why the eldest sister wants to keep you in the Lingnan Imperial City?"

Chu Jiangliu said with a smile: "That's natural. Although His Majesty Xiao Emperor didn't say it explicitly, after all, I have known His Majesty Xiao Emperor for so many years and I know her temperament."

"The monks chanted Buddhist scriptures vigorously in the Lingnan Imperial City and gained many believers. There were even military generals and court ministers among them."

"You have also seen what happened before. Many generals led their troops away and became rebels. When I wanted to purge the monks, I was also impeached by the ministers of the DPRK and China."

"So...His Majesty Xiao Emperor seems to have imprisoned me for a year and asked me to shut up at home and think about my mistakes, but in fact His Majesty Xiao Emperor knows that once I leave the Lingnan Imperial City, the Imperial City will be in chaos!"

Chujiangliu's words are loud and powerful.

"Once I leave Lingnan Imperial City, no one can suppress the young people in the imperial city."

"Those monks, those ministers, and those generals with evil intentions will become more and more rampant. By then, the imperial city will probably be in chaos."

"That's why His Majesty Emperor Xiao didn't let me lead the army even after the one-year deadline for me to think about it behind closed doors was up."

"So even though His Majesty Emperor Xiao, despite the pressure from hundreds of officials, only fined me one year of confinement, he did not take away my military power."

"Because once I leave the Imperial City, the Imperial City will be in chaos!"

"But these words... His Majesty Emperor Xiao cannot tell me. Once he says it, the walls have ears. Once exposed, it will definitely cause a storm in the imperial city."

The fifth princess hurriedly said: "Since you know the painstaking efforts of the eldest sister, why don't you stay in the imperial city with peace of mind?"

Chu Jiangliu looked at the fifth princess and said sincerely: "Xiao Wu, I am the supreme prince of the Shenwu Kingdom. I am the general of all the soldiers and horses of the Shenwu Kingdom conferred by His Majesty the Xiao Emperor. From that moment on, I, Chu Jiang Liu’s life is linked to the entire Shenwu Kingdom.”

"Whoever dares to trample on the territory of my Shenwu Kingdom is tantamount to trampling on my life!"

"How can I allow such young people as Nanzhou, Beizhou, and Xizhou Buddha Lands to run rampant in front of me!"

Chu Jiangliu said that he was excited, and with a strong force in his hand, he shattered the stone table in the pavilion.

The fifth princess stepped forward and gently stroked Chu Jiangliu's back, making him dissipate some of his anger.

Chu Jiangliu shook his head feebly and said: "Many forces in Nanzhou and Beizhou have joined forces to invade the border, but as the general of the entire Shenwu Kingdom, I can only hide in this Lingnan Imperial City. Xiaowu, you Do you know how aggrieved I feel?"

"If there are not these monks in the Lingnan Imperial City, as long as His Majesty Emperor Xiao gives me one hundred thousand elite soldiers, I will kill the Qilin Prince of Beizhou to the point where he throws off his armor, and I will kill the Poison God family to the point where they are running away with their heads covered!"

"They are so bold in Nanzhou and Beizhou when they violate our border!"

"Are you here to find a grave?"

Chu Jiangliu became angry again, bursting out with overwhelming power and shattering the entire pavilion.

Although the fifth princess was frightened, she quickly came to her senses because in the past two or three years, Chu Jiangliu had been angry more than once because of the war.

"Of course I know that my husband is extremely powerful and has unparalleled military skills, but now that the Sword Prince is not in the Lingnan Imperial City, only my husband's accumulated military exploits accumulated over many years of fighting can suppress some people with evil intentions in the imperial city." The fifth princess said softly: "Please husband, please keep the overall situation in mind."

"This Shenwu Kingdom was not only conquered by the eldest sister alone, but also the hard work of my husband and the Sword Prince."

Chu Jiangliu sighed helplessly: "If I had ignored the overall situation, I would have ordered General Chu to massacre the monks in the city two years ago; if I had ignored the overall situation, and Nanzhou and Beizhou invaded the border two years ago, I would have personally led the army to be killed. , enter the ancient kingdom of Loulan, and behead the Emperor of Loulan from the dragon bed!"

"Why!"

Chu Jiang sighed again and again, with a look of exhaustion on his frown: "Xiao Wu, I want to lead the army on an expedition... I want to crush those who invade our territory, dig their graves and whip their corpses!"

The fifth princess said softly: "Just wait until Lord Sword comes back."

Chu Jiangliu sighed: "The three years agreed upon with Lord Sword are a full year late. When will Lord Sword come back?"

At this time, the housekeeper of the Prince of Chu's Mansion walked over quickly and saw the pavilion that was shattered by the flow of the Chu River. He immediately trembled and knew that his prince was angry again because of the war. He clasped his fists from a distance and shouted: "Your Majesty, the ninth of the Yulong Army Zhuo Lian, the general of the legion, asked for a meeting again, saying that he had something important to discuss with us."
